He Was Not Prepared.

A few years ago the people of ccr- tain township were about to celebrate the opening of new bridge, and in- vited a young lawyer to deliver the ora tion. He had made no written prcpam- ton, supposing that a lawyer ought to be capable or speaking without note or notice any number of hours, on any sub ject, in style of thrilling eloquence. Therefore, he trusted to the occasion.
 He stood out upon platform erected near the bridge and began amid the pro- found and attentive silence of his audi ence:
 "Fellow-citizens Five and forty years ago this bridge, built by your en- terprise, was part and parcel of the bowling wildernessm
 He paused a moment. .
 "Yes, fellow citizens, only Ave and forty years ago this bridge, where we now stand, was part and parcel of the bowling wildernessn
 Again he paused. ...
 (Cries of "Goodl Go onr1
 'T feel it hardly necessary to repeat that this bridge, fellow-citizens, only five and forty years ago was part and parcel of the bowling wilderness, and l will conclude by saying that I wish-l wish it was part and parcel of it nowl'
