New York Sun.
When Maine was a district of Massa-
chusetts, Ezekiel Whitman was chosen
to represent the district in the Massachu
sets legislature. He was an eccentric
man, and one of the best lawyers of his
time. j He owned farm, and did much
WORK On his land when the time came
for him to set out for Boston, his best suit
homespuns. His wife objected to his go
ing in that garb, but he did not care. :"

soon as reach Boston" he said.
Reaching his destination, Whitman
found rest at Doolittles City Tavern.
Le. It be understood sha. he was grad
uate Of Harvard. and at this tavern he
was at home. AS he entered the Parlor
Of the house he found several ladies and
gentlemen assembled, and he heard a re-
mark from one of them, "Ah, here
comes countryman of the real home
spun genus. Here's fun" Whitman
stared at the company, and then sat
down.
"Say, my friend, you are from the
country" remarked one Of the gentle
men.
"Yaa-s," answered Ezekiel, with .lu-
dicrous twist of the face.
The ladies Uttered.
And what do you think Of our city I"
ats pooty thick settled place, any
place, anyhow. It's got the sweepin's

"And good many people, :oo."

The ladies clapped their hands; but
what was their surprise when the stran-
ger, rising. spoke calmly and clearly as
follows.
"Ladies and gentlemen permit me to
wish you health and happiness, with eve
~ blessing earth can afford and may
you grow better and wiser with advancing
years, bearing ever in mind that outward
appearances are often decitful. Youmis-
took me, from my dress, for a country

gentlemen. The mistake has been mu.

A Legislative Story.

A gentleman who holds seat in the
upper branch of the New York Legisla
ture, but at the time was member of the
Assembly, relates the following:
Perkins was as honest man as ever
set foot in Albany. Money wouldn t
buy him, and knew it; but thought
/ would have little fun with him; so |
went down into his room one evening
and said:
Perkins, what do you think of that
underground railroad bill' Are you
going to vote for it1"
"Well," said Perkins, 81 haven't
made up my mind yet exactly. am in
clincd to think it good bill But why
do you ask? 2"
81 thought you we're in favor Of it,
said !, and as long as you have concu
ded to vote for it, l just wanted to say
to you that the men interested in it are
paying five hundred dollars for votes.
and as it is coming up on its final pass
age to morrow, you can just as well have
the money as not; you'll vote for the
bill, any way"
"Vote for the bill I'll be hanged,
frst" cried the irate Perkins. "No,
sir if improper means are being taken
to pass this thing, as you say, |, for one,
will vote against it every time. You can
put me down, MOI
~ don't care anything about this bill" /"
said / 81 was only trying to do you a
favor and think can yet; for, to tell
you the truth, the rival companies are in
full force. and are moving heaven and
earth to defeat it. They are pay ing the
sum for noes and MS long as you ar,
hound to vote that way, I'll get you tn,
five hundred dollars all the same.'
Can such things be p exclaimed Per
kins, rising from his seat, and tearing up
and down the room in whlrlwind o.
righteous wrath and virtuous Indignation
"What state Of things this is A plague
on both of your houses; won't vote a
ALL"
"All right!' said I, as laid my hand
on the door. "I'll get you five hundred
dollars for being absent!'
And as the jolly Senator brought I,
mind the horror Of perplexty in whicl
this last proposition involved Perkins
