 Those SouthingtOn Boots Austin Pier son of Lakevile is in trouble. Austin is pretty clever sort of chap you know, but like other people is llableto make mistakes. He went to Southington in this state and told merchant that he was going to work there for Mir. 80 and so, 'and as he need ed pair of bo" Is and one thing or other, he very much wished Mr. Merchant would let him have what he needed and he would pay him with the first money he earned Being clever of speech and altogether an honest appearing fellow, Mir. Merchant gave him the credit he asked, and here is where the mistake comes in. Austin soon came to the conclusion he could do without the services of his Southington~ employer, and consequently discharged him, after which he came back to Lakeville and re- sumed work in his old place, forgetting to say anything to MT. Merchant about the change in his plans. He had not ought to have done this: He should have held sweet counsel with his boot benefactor before he left, bat as we said above, this was his mis- take. Last Tuesday sheriff presented him with pair of SouthinGton bracelets to wear with MT. Merchants boots, and thus adorned he was tre ated to ride ever the Conn. Western railroad in the direction of the penitentiary.

Tho Devil OutaOMe.

Old Nick came up to the earth one day, And into old Washington wended his way, And having some hours to spend for calls, He thought he would visit our national
 halls.
 On arriving there he crossed the sill As discussion was hot on the Salary bill. Now Old Nick, as every body knows. Has power to change both himself and
 clothes, So, seeing Senator's vacant chair, Presto, change! and he was there! And he said, ss his eyes OCT the assembly
 ran,
 Wouldn't make splendid Congressman The bill was read, and the devil sat there, Tilted back in his easy chair. With no particular interest in it, Till there came pause of about one min
 ute;
 And in voice that was full of bread The back action clause of the bill was
 read.
 Old Nick sat up with interest now, To see what this honorable CD body would
 do,
 For surely said he; they havn't sunk SC Ina, they can pass that bill clear through, It surely must be some hideous joke, Or my imps have ovcrl"ne their work. The hill was read and the ayes were called, And the devil Sat there llke one appalled, And the basest thing he ever saw Was this wholesale theft under the guise
 of law.
 TO look any further there is no use, For of all mean things this beats the
 deuce.'
 For thousands of years Eye wandered
 round
 Trying to see if there could be found In the Universe, lower level Than that which is occupied by the devil My search was fruitless by sea and land Till 1 met an American Congressman If men like this are to Congress sent I'll run my chances for President Old Nick left town that very day, But was heard to mu,ter as he passed
 away;
 ''I'll let that 'fortY-second alone, For If don't they'll steal my throne!'
