Richard Townsend positi vely declines 10
be candidate for Representative on the
temperance ticket. We are instructed to
state that he, though temperance man,
cannot support or allow his name TO be
used on any ticket in opposition to the
Democratic party. Mr.. Townsend is a
good democrat, and probably thinks,
with a good many others, that the only
way to make the temperance cause a
success is TO keep it clear of politics.

Then, Joseph, want to tell you
one thing. 1t is this f.; When you find

deal of time. and getting but few
berries

sooner had one found bush than he
called all the rest, and they left their
several places. and ran off to the new
found treasure. Not content more
than minute or two in one place.
they rambled all over the whole
pasture, got very tired. and at night
had very few berries.

another. When night came had
