stephen. The dutiiul boy advertised it
in the public prints that he was on his
way to see his mother. He started from
the city of New York to visit bis mother,
who resides in the western section OF
New York State. He naturally came to
New Haven, Guilford and Hartford on
his way, and at the latter place was be-
trayed into speech" Stlil bent on the
maternal pilgrimage, he goes towards
Boston, attracted by a relative of his
wife. 1t was case of relative attrac-
ton. On his way, 1t Worcester, some
Judas betrayed him into speech" -
At Boston, betrayed again. Now, howe.
yer, he started towards his mother. At

a private man, astouishcd at the magnif-
cent demonstration, the unexpected re
ception dixie the one at Hartford) he Was
" betrayed" into speech, in which he
declared he was on his way to see his
mother. From here the pilgrim soon
reaches Saratoga. Here he lays aside
politics, thinks of his long unseen moth
er whom he is about to visit, and sinks
into the genial pleasures of the place.
