A WESTERN PoMTICIAN.-About
a dozen years ago, Governor Y
and Judge W were candidates
for Congress in their district. They
were both far.sighted, shrewd poll
ticians-th Judge the better law
yer and debater the Governor by
far the more winning in his man
ners. az the sequel will fully es-
tablish. One hot day in July,
while they were travelling together
on the canvass, they came upon a
party of twenty men or more as
senbled on the roadside for the
purpose Of having shooting
match Thinking it good time
and place for presenting their re-
spective claims, the Governor pro-
posed stopping. They halted, and
the Governor soon made himself at
home lie bought a number of
chances in the match, and, being
quite a good marksnan, succeeded
well, winning quite quantity OF
beef. which constituted the prize
The Judge had conscientious scru-
pies "a to shootingmatches, aud
did not participate, but stood by,
conversing with the more sober of
the crowd. while his friend, the
Governor, was in high glee with
his companions over the beef
When the beef was given out to
the successful shooters, our Gov
ernor ordered his 60 be divided
among some poor widows who, he
ascertained. lived in the vicinity,
and then asked the b'hoys if they
were not dry" OF course they
were, and the Governor generously
ordered u plentiful supply of the
"0h, be joyful /"
Here. again, the Judge had scru-
pies, and did not participate but
had it been otherwise, it would
have awaited nothing. The Gov
ernor was decidedly the man at
the shooting match. while the Judge
felt himself decidedly in the voca-
tive. Leaving their friends, they
proceeded on their way some
twelve or fifteen miles, and halted
at camp-ground, where the annu-
nj COMMUNICATING was being held.
They separated in the crowd, each
electioneering with all his might,
with old and young, friends and
MISUNDERSTANDING hay while the
sun shone- for there was, indeed,
fine opening. Towards night
the Judge began to look round for
his distinguished opponent, but
could find him nowhere. He wait
ed patiently till evening services
began. aud concluded he would go
out TO the large shed where the
people had assembled for meeting
thinking, perhaps, he might meet
his friend. On going out. what
was his astonlshment to lind the
gallant Governor. the hero of the
shooting-mstch, in front of the al
tar, surrounded by ministers and
class-leaders, with a hymn-book in
his hand, head thrown back, sing
ing, as loud as his lungs woult

To shade her brow with IT'S waves go brown,
