The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1873-12-03

Life is full OF yicissitudcs. Sometime it
is so fall that it seems IS IL even the ,iN-
teeth part of one more yici-,iiudc would
explode it.
Even the existence OF Boston Drum
mer--that modern God upon whom rests
the admirng gaze Of youth throughout the
entire rural districts has in it alas too Of
ten. sad episodes and moments when all
the resources Of his finished and cultured
mind, the sang f,'oM and abandon born q
experience and travel and even the com
temptation OF HAT triumph Of tailor, and
boot makers skill, his apparel fails to bring
consolation to hi, bursting heart These
chunks of wisdom scarcely need practical
illustration for their support, but - sad and
appropriate one is furnished to our hand in
the case of the i'll starved number of that
cnviablc profession who stopped at one Of
our hotels few days since but owing to a
viaissitudc didn't tarry long in our midst.
You see he had no sooner taken OF his
coat and gone in TO tea than his fate APP
pcared to him. 1t appeared in the form of a
table girl, So comely and fair that the drum
mcr heart surrendered to her charms and
he straightway wrote unto her an impas-
stoned note, telling Of his love and praying
for an audience, which in II little answer
ing jiHc dour was granted and an hour
named, eight p. M. Bat, alas for the
hopes of our readers who are anticipating
nice little love tale, she was as false as
fair and did plan and confederate with 9TH
er damscs of the dining hall for the de-
struction (metaphorically spcaking) Of the
ardent swain. Eight o'clock and the drum
mer arrived simultaneously at the appoint
| ed place of meeting which turned out to be
already occupied by the damses aforesaid
| lie, gUilcless youth, sought the jewel of q
/ young girls affections and found-paste
/ Not that kind of paste which glittcrs and
/ dccoiycs, but that kind of paste which j.
/ the product of alternate layers OF water
and flour; which sticketh closer than ;
/ poor relation and takcth the shine out Of q
new suit of clothes in less than three see
onds, railroad time. Hair, moustachc
/ clothes, all living monument of paste, h,
stood, rooted to the spot with horror am
despair and his destroyers Knocked his woo
with exceeding great cussedness. Ther
they went away and left him and he spen
all the long hours from that time until mid
. rinht in l. T..
shivering for an hour in the middle of som'
friendly shadow before he could make nj
his mind to bolt for the next one. liz
tried to tear his hair in rage as would hay,
been appropriate under the circumstance
but only succeeded in setting it up on enc
where it driod!!! After time he dried al
over and was clad in a CHASTITY suit of mai
which crealed and croakod in Il horrible
manner when he moved and frightened
couple of little children who happened f
run onto him in dark corner, into per
feet cholera nfantum of fear.
At last he reached his room and sue
cecded in breaking of his outer apparc
and rcgaining part of his mental powers
lie thought he would go home TO his mothe
but then he realized the awful mistortun
of her sex and gave it up. lie never want
to gaze upon female form or face moro
and has firmly resolved TO emigrate to tn
interior of the State of Maine and becom
a solitary hermit for the rest of his days
lie went away on an early train next day t
make preparations and he went with les
ostentation than we ever saw before in
gentleman Of his profession, Man.
