summer vacation at the seaside, and stool
in front of the house giving a friend Il graph

"Went in bathing every day." he exclaim-

the friend. "Wife go in too?" ''Oh, yes,
every day." said the returned vacationist.

some interest. Mo, she can't" was the
reply. She tried and tried to learn, but
somehow she didn't get the hang of it.
She said she couldn't get the right kick.

the fact was and here he looked up at
the house and sunk his voice to hoars as

her mouth closed long enough to take four
strokes before she'd have some silly remark
to make, when kerswash she'd swallow
whole wave and go plump to the bottom, .

scene was recalled to his mind and went in
to the house chuckling with pleasure. But
he hadn't noticed woman's face peeriny
The acquaintance saw the front door open
quickly. saw hand reach out and grab the
seaside boarder by the collar. saw the heels
of that Individual crack his back as he shot
through the door which slammed behind his
vanished form, heard wild stified noise,
as of human body being hauled over hat
rack and banged against the wall, and
heard muffled voice like unto that of an
enraged woman, say: "Take that back and
I'll let you up, you wall-eyed yahoo !" And
the acquaintance, with a countenance of
wonder and alarm, passed on.

We are at all times really and willing to ac-

part in the local and personal feuds of our
neighboring village. The GAZETTE cannot
consistently do SO, and therefore most re-
spectfully declines to publish these commu-

accomplished thereby. Our friends will find
a better recourse for slander in the law

FINE NURsERY.-While at Newport last
week we visited the nursery of Ed. c.
Phelps, near that place, and were surprised
TO find so fine collection of fruit and orna

gave Way to admiration. We will not at
tempt TO give the different varieties, or any
part of them, but simply state that the col
lection embraces the most extensive variety
we have seen for a long time. Mr. Phelps
expects to make this business in future
and the unusual good taste he has shown il
the matter thus far insures for him success
m the enterprise.

HOW TOM BECAME A CONGRESS-
MAN
A BOYS STORY

There was little fellow among the
New England hills, years ago, as there
are many now, whose parents were poor.
He could not remember the time when he
wore shoes and stockings in the summer.
Sometimes in the winter, when he was
Obliged to walk three miles to school, and
wade through snowdrifts that did not
melt until the last of May, he did wear
such as his father had rejected, and a
pair of shoes that slipped up and down
every step he took. Nevertheless, they
were shoes and stockings; and he was
infinitely prouder of them than any king
living is of his crown.
One day, as Tom was plOdding along
with his old slip-shod shoes, putting from
exertion and blowing his blue fingers to
keep them warm, there came dashing
down the hill a sleigh such as the young
ster had never seen; no, indeed, nor even
dreamed of. And the horse Tom stop
ped blowing, so intense was his admira-
ton of the elegant creature that came
foaming and tossing its daintily arched
neck right and left.
Tom sprang aside at the very last mo-
ment, and as he sank up to his chin in
the light snow, tore off his old cloth cap
from his head, and bobbed up and down
as if he was in the presence of the Pres
ident.
Jump on behind, my lad shouted
the rider; lump on behind" And Tom
did jump on at the peril of his life, and
away they went. tearing along with great
speed until over went the sleigh, and out
went riders and bufalocs, and things
generally
Tom sprang to the horses head, and
clinging to the bit, the tips OF his great
cowhide shoes touching tue snow, asked
if the gentleman was hurt.

shaking himself free of the snow; "only
warmed up a little. What's the dam

run the household on, while her husband
was spending ten times that amount on
riotous living He thought It was time
for that to be changed at once He wrote
out an order for the balance Of salary due

said:

Il tell you just for once, there's a pa

etor. I'VE have no more use for him here.
So the stranger walked him up to the
bank. where he had 500 on deposit, and
persuaded him to draw it out. Then ne
left him, merely remarking Il may give
you a whipping yet before leave town,
but you are such a pititul, whitc-i'ered
