The Hair ON the wrong Man.

Some years ago, during Democratic State
Convention held at Syracuse, there occurred
large Sunday school picnic, to which many OF the
delegates were invited, and which few attend
ed. Among those who accepted were john Van
Buren, and Gen. Nye. Mr.. Van Buren, was re-
auested to make little speech to the little peo-
pIe and though il was little out of his line,
cheerfuly asSented. In the course of it he sought
to impress upon the Juveniles that honesty was
the best policy, and that politicians of all classes
were apt to sell and be sold. BY way OF iiiustra-
tion, he added, ''YOu remenu er how Abraham OF
old traded his birtbright fOr a mess of pottage"
Gen. Nye, who sat directly behind him, gave
pull at his eOat-tais, and said, Hold on, John,
You hare got the hair on the crOng mdn"-Hdrpers
