Somewhat DiscOurage

From Pomeroy's Y. y D emocrat.
ll!lam Lawrence represents the Fourth
( District of ONO in the Peter Funk mock :
auction shop, or national piifeIinz assem-
, by, at y ashIu gton. William is good bill
that is, be Is loyal bill printed in black:
II least some pcope think him thi, way.
Relatively speaking, William hre rela~
uves. lie owns a nephew who lives some
where III the vicinity Of Logan county,
! Ono. his nephew man went forth for TO
tight. He enlisted, and accumulated some
little trlnkets during the late unpleasant
ness, being careful. to preserve the same
( from the {, es OF detective officers. After
three years faithful doing of this the
nephew OF our COugr, ssman, Lawrence by
name, nature, and education, returned to
/ his native land a richer II not d tatter man.
And he looked upon the daue ehters OF
the people who dwell IN the region around
about there, and at last squinted his ewes
with an admirine glance upOn one Of them.
| took her unto himself by due course of
ministerial wedlock, and settled on a farm
IN Harding county. For a time all things
went well with the younger Lawrence. The
silver spoons stolen from the South stood
! sIantiLgy IN coffee and ea,cups gobJled in
/ that section; while clock made in New
/ England, sold at large profit to the people
, OF the South, and stolen from tiG same,
! ticked the hours of the day and night
/ pleasantly away in the room where the
aforesaid nephew did partake of his grub
| l be wife OF his bosom and things smiled
sweetly upon BIN with coniugal muchness,
and from bis orbS CLEANED aud glinted af
fectlon upon her as new moon sheds It's
rays upon wood house.
One day the nephew went absent upon a
lite business. II became necessary fof
Lin to depart 20 ueighboring settlement
to be ab5cnt few days. And 50 he eirted
himself up. wrenchei his luins together
listed his susreuders an inch higher, to
hit his pants from the mud, ana walked
forth with that vehemcnce characteristic Of
" estern men. lie went into a neirhbor-
ing settlement and settementea his affairs.
and then did he tramp, tramp, tramp
back unto his home, living owe arain the
scenes Of warfare, and anticipating the
jingle OF stolen >iIverwaIc, cougratulatibr
naapcr alnsI to tbn' b ty3si ones snl ths b bosom @
two los0n.s, oI bosom and a ha.f Of his
family.
Ha aniycl at lis donici'e IN the dead
hour OF night Not a star tw .nhle in the
dim ob>curIty above. No gas lamps hung
suspended from the trees in hi. neIghhor-
hood as they did on the frontiers during
the American and Indian wars. No ight
IN the house welcomed the tramping pill
gllm. Al! vas still and solemn as two
young owls In a nest, With two Old owls
looking down upon them. And he, with
hIavery advanced upon his own premises
He applied the key 10 the kcy-nule cn'er-
ed boldly into his d0nicile, and marched,
not like General Putnam-d0wn-bu up
stairs, whore comfort, happiness, and a
uice warm place wherein to sleep did await
him, And he found the adorcd object of
his affections. He found in his couch the
sweet sympathizer Of his sympathe>, but
she was not alone. As they came into the
woid, with the exception Of certain arti
cies of cotton goods, he found Mcm!
AID the them whom he found was his
dearly beloved wife and IA living, walking
trembling, whte-eyed, six teet-and -ouc-
inch II, cjmen Of the fifteenth Amend
ment. Aud Jhcn the nephew of the alore

Amenlmeni Is a humhug lie says that it
is all well enough to make the innocent
ntraband an equal n some things, but it
is piling it on little TOO thick TO employ

/ And the innocent female sutffagi>t has
/ gone to Indiana. taking with her Il t,w Of
the silver spoons. and the prayers Of her
discouraged husband that Size may never
return.
Therefore, we say. who would not be tie
/ loyal nephew Of a loyal Congressman, and
+ who would not be in love with the fifteenth
Amendment? Are they not handy to have
around the house? il not nice to have
