they were appointed; how long they

He would not have uttered word

had just been dropped with regard to

panied to hear that remark from RI
publican These were tie same taunts
that they had heard from the rebels OF
the South. The States they represent.
ed had given each large majority for
the Republican ticket and for the pres.

as much entitled to the Offices, or at
least fair share Of them, as was the
Democratic State of Kentucky.
Mr.. Davls-Then they would leave
the other States as paupers for we have
but few OF the Offices.
MIR. Sawyer resuming, said he hard

"Only to tend this line till I come back,
I wish to 20 on short errand."
The proposal was gladly accepted. The
old fisherman was gone so long that the
young man began to be impatient. Mean
while the hungry fish snapped greedily at
the baited hook, and the young man lost all
his depression in the excitement of pulling
them in; and when the owner of the line
returned, he had caught large number.
Counting out from them as many as were
in the basket, and presenting them to the
young man, the old fisherman said:
81 fulfill my promise from the fish you
have caught to teach you, whenever you see
others earning what you need, to waste no
time in fruitless wishing, but to cast line
