One winter there came 90 Trenton, New
Jersey, two men named Smith and Jones, who
had both of them designs on the Legislature.
Jones had bad wife and was in love with a
pretty woman--he wished to be divorced from
his bad wife, so that he might marry the
pretty woman, who, by the way, was widow
with black eyes. and such form There
fore Jones came to Trenton for a divorce
Smith had good wife, good as an sngel
and the mother Of ten children, and Smith did
not want to be divorced, but did want TO get
a charter for q turnpike or a plankroad, to
extend from Pigs Run to Tcrrepn Hollow.
Well, they, with these different orrands,
came to Trenton, and addressed the assembled
wisdom with the usual arguments First,
suppers mainly composed OF oysters with rich
background Of venison T; second, liquors in
great plenty, from Jersey lightning which
is a kind Of locomotive at full speed, reduced
20 liquor shape, TO Newark champagne. To
speak in plain prose, the divorce man gave a
champagne supper, and Smith, the turnpike
man. followed with champagne breakfast,
under the modifying influence of which the as
sembled wisdom passed both the divorce and
turnpike bills and Jones and Smith, copy
of each bill in their pockots-wcnt rejoicing
home, over miles of sands, and through the
tribulation of many stage coaches
