of our State, and in the same article at

"Our leading men--thosc who mpIe
The State and love il, still believe in the
doctrines Of the Chicago platform, They
think that nearly all the * rebels, orc as
hostile as ever and that it il not yet safe
TO trust them with the brlot .-Dot that
they would punish them, but that the
welfare OF the State demands their exclu-
sion from the polls"
We would like to know il we did not
"help to make the S,atcl" Certainly We
did. We done all that we could in our
humtlo way TO bring i, about We love
it too, and because We love It, We odYo-

How Amasa Lost the Bet.

Not thousand miles from Jamaica Plains,
lived Lem Scaeer, Bob Emmons and Amasa
May Lem was fond of shooting, could shoot
well, and was rather proud of it. 1t happened
on bright October day that he had been hunt
ing the cover on the Newton side of the pond,
and came out by the old barn where Bob EN-
mons was at work. After little talk, Lem
left his gun and Gxings standing outside, end
went into the barn to look at the cattle, and Fl
naliy passed through to the cider mill, which
stood just beyond; for a half day tramp in
the woods makes man dry, you better be
lieve. While he was gone, Bob, who was al
ways at the bottom of all the deviltry done In
the vicinity, dropped an extra charge of shot
into each barrel of the gun, and stood by wait
ing for fun. Presently Amasa came up the
road with new hat on The half-formed plan
that Aoated in the brain of Bob was instantly
completed and put into action, as follows:
Hailiug Amasa, Come quick - says he.
''let' S have some fun with Lem. Well draw
out his shot, and bet he can't hit your hat
Capital good idea, replied Amasa. Lem
thinks he can shoot; we'll open his eyes
hey?'
Bob carefully drew out all the shot he had
Just put in, and put the gun back where he
found it. just then Lem came back, having
smoked cider enough to make himself comforta-
bic, and prepared to go.
''Hello Lem, says Amasa, what are YOU
toting that shooting-iron about for ?''
''Oh! it's a way [ have" replied Lem :
sometimes get chance to shoot, and then
I most always hit. y
Bet you can bit my hat-six rodsl" ex-
claimed Amasa bet an oyster supper for the
boysto-nightl"
Done" says Lem set it up,''
Amasa put his hat on a post, and measured
the SIX rods, almost bursting with suppressed
laughter at the imaginary idea of LENS look
when be should find that he couldn't hit hat
at six rods; Bob, also chucking at the pros
pect of the success OF his plan, and Lem pleas-
ed with the idea of winning The bet He
brought the gun up to his face to fire.
double your bet, and give it both barrels!''
says Amasa.
''Aye aye!'' replied Lem; and he let drive.
right and left, in quick succession. Before the
smoke rolled away Amasa jumped forward,
with shout and laugh, to show Lem that he
cou!dn't hit hat in broad daylight But
where was it? Bits of fur, here and there, and
miserable dilapidated wreck of a hat, that
/ oked as if all the woodcocks in Norfolk coun.
ty had stuck their bills through it, was the
sight to greet his eyes. The sudden and in
stantaneous change of his countenance told Bot
who had lost the wager.
