YE STORY or YE CANDIDATES GRIND
sroNE.-A neighhor Of Col. Baker, the war
rior statesman of Windham, tells the follow
ing story.
The Colonels old grind-stone which had
long done service on the farm, having be-
come pretty well worn down, be bought and
brought home n nice new one. A poor
Colonel could have no use for t,oo stones, but
could get along very well with one-asked
him to give him the oil one. The proposal
however, was not eagerly embraced, but was
on the contrary, positively negatiyed. An
effort to buy the stone also failed, owing to q
disagreement regarding prices and the man
having asked for a stone and been given a
decidedly cold shoulder, went away exceeding.
ly sorrowful.
A day or two after the Colonels nominu
ton for Congress, he fell in with his neighbor
and after shaking hands and inquiring after
each member of the independent electors
family, he took occasion to say in the mos
friendly manner.
By the by, you was speaking to me th'
other day about an old grind-stone of mine
| don't know as shall want it for anything
and If it will do you any good you can taxi
! II along with you any time when you are go
Ting by. 1t lies Gut there by the wood pile.
The Colonel paused to receive the warn
thanks which he felt that his noble conduc
deserved, but was triAe set back by tn
following blunt response: j.,

he says:
"How many people there are who in invit-
ing you to dinner, think less Of being agree
able to their guests, than of dazzling them
with the opulence Of their mansions caring
rath 20 ustonish them than TO entertain
them generously. Such people attach inn

bles with which they invariably strive to ad-
orn their tables TO them dish of prema-
