Opportunity is rare. and wise
man will never let it go by him.
Knaves will thrive where honest

MR.. BLAINE's B0YH00D.

George Alfred Townsend presents
this in the Cincinnati Enquirer: II
asked Judge Ewing if he remembered
Blaine coming to Lancaster to inhab
it his fathers house and go to school.
Yes said he, 'Blaine's mother was
sister of Mrs. Ewing's mother. SO
that he was second cousin OF our
boys. Blaine was just as frisky and
clever in his boyhood as he has since
been talented. / remember that he
and Tom Ewing saved up their mon
ey for an excursion to Columbus,
which is thirty-two miles from Lam
caster. Hugh Ewing was to drive
them, and he was something of
martinez. very particular about ap-
pearance and good conduct. The
buggy was good enough for those
days, though 1 think it had no springs,
and Tom and Jim Blaine sat back
while Hugh took the reins. When
they got about ten miles out of Ian.
caster there was Democratic flag
pole set up at little town, and Blaine
and Tom Ewing began to make signs
at it with their thumbs to their noses
to express their derision. You stop
that said Hugh Ewing; this buggy
is known on this road to belong to
Senator Ewing, and you must be-
have yourself accordingly The
two boys said that they would
make such signs at the Democratic
poles whenever they were minded,
and meant to do the same thing COM
ing back again. Hugh Ewing said
he would see they did no such thing.
They again declared they meant, on
their return from Columbus, to deride
the flag pole. 'Well,' said Hugh
Ewing, 'I'll put you both out of the
buggy if you do About this time a
rabbit ran across the road, and the
boys jumped down to run after it,
and that disposed of the quarrel for
that time.
