There is another mode Of testing the cor
rectness of the vote cast During this
spring there was an enrolment for militia
rv purposes of all persons between the
ages of 20 and 45. This would give a
number almost equal to the whole legal

between 20 and u, as there are over 10.
Yet the enrolment was but 215,312, and

he hes trusted too much TO the discretion:

taken upon MS own broad shoulders the
burden cf their errors. But there is dan
ger that he may in this way take on a
larger load than he can stand under, and

A Young Tobacco Chewer.

On board ship, one day, when one of the
boys came with his hammock on his should
ers as he passed, the first lieutenant perceived
that he had a quid OF tobacco in his month";
What have you got there? p asked the lieu
tenant; a gum bile? Your cheek is much
swollen.
No si-,' replied the boy; there is nothing At
all the natter
oh, there must be perhaps it Is bad tooth.
Open your mouth and let me see.'
Very reluctantly the boy opened his
mouth, which contained a large roll of tobac-
co.
i see. said the lieutenant, poor fellow, you
must suffer. Your mouth wants overhauling.
and your teeth cleaning. | wish we had a
dentist on board, but as we have not, | will
operate as well as can. Send the armorer up
with his tongs.'
When the armorer made his appearance
with his topgs, he was compelled to open his
mouth, while the tobacco was extracted with
this rough treatment.
There, now said the lieutenant, I'm
sure that you feel better already. You new
er could have an appetite with such stuff
in your mouth. Now, captain, of the af-
tcr-guards, bring piece of old canvass and
some sand, aud clean his teeth nicely"
The captain Of the aiterguari came forward
and grinning from ear TO ear, put the boys
head between his knees, and scrubbed his teeth
well with canvass and sand, for two or three
minutes.
There, that viii do said the lieutenant.
Now, my little fellow, take some water and
rinse your mouth, and you will enjoy your
breakfast. II was impossible for you to have
eaten any thing with your month in such
filthy condition. When yon are troubled in
the same way again come TO me, and I'll be

cule of this occurrence OF the habit of chewing
