TOM AND THE CONGRESSMAN,

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 Sum-
mer. 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 seoes and stockings; and he was in
finitely prouder of them than any king
living is of his crown.
One day, as Tom was Flooding along
with his old slip-shod shoes, putting from
exertion and blowing his blue fingers to
keep them warm, there came dash1ng
down the hill sleigh such as the young
ster had never seen; no indeed nor ever
dreamed of. And the horse Tom stopped
blowing, SO intense was his admiration
of the elegant creature that came foam
ing and tossing its dainty arched neck
right and left.
Tom sp1ang 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 were in the presence of the Presi-
dent.
Jump on behind, my lad, jump on be-
hind;" shouted the rider. 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 the riders and bufaloes, and things
generally.
Tom sprang to the horses head, and
clinging to the bit, the tips of his great
cowhide shoes touching the snow, asked
if the gentleman was hurt.
"Not bit, my lad ~ said he, shaking
himself free of the snow. 'Only warmed
up little. What's the damage9''
"Nothing, sir, that see" replied Tom,

THE sWEET-TONGUED PED
DLER.

More than once recently, have the
ladies of our city and the county, been
deceived by the peddler tramp. The
laces they offer, were, in part, of a very
inferior quality, smoked with corn
husks. The linens offered by another
can he duplicated AT any good store for
two-thirds the money. The astonishing
lies the peddlers tell as to how they came
in possession of tho goods. is the most
charming part Of the deception. There
is not single case of this sort in which
the purchaser has not been most shame
fully deceived. Why is il that women
will listen TO these silver tongued liars.
and pay them go to so per cent more
for goods, than TO purchase at reliable
stores, where the seller has character.
will always be one of the mysteries.
But people do like 10 be deceived by
itinerant peddlers. The FREE PREss
advice to the ladies, IL, TO buy none Of
their goods, and show them the front
door, before they have on opportunity of
deluging your house with lies. The
cloth peddlers are Of piece with these.
Give them all wide birth.
