The GOVERNOR.
He was not quite sure Of his election
a. hrst. bat after while he became con-
vinced that hs had been chosen by tho
sufrages OF the people. and 80 he started
FOR Albany by diligence. with a specklei
COW attached 20 the rear Of the convey
ance. When he got pretty near 20 Albany
he Was told that mistake had been made
IN the returns, by which the other mans
election was only too clear. re probed
the matter and found THAI the inforna-
ton came from an authentic source; so.
after batting his team, he gave his trusty
COW dose II Moxie and started out for
home again, sad. yet bowling to the will
% the people. For some DAYS he Jour
neyed on over rough roads and through
desolate stretches Of country. sometimes
finding such rough going that his frail
drosky seemed ready to overturn and
plunge down a bottoualess chasm.
At last the domes and minarets Of
Canandaigua loomed up in the distance,
and after his long journey the governor
drove into his own door yard and putthe
team out. Polishing his red but virtu-
Gus beak on the back OF his buckskin
mittens. ne slowly took up the thread of
private life again by knocking the choicest
brains out of stray cat.
Anon one Of the neighbors came in and
asked the governor what was up Heal
lowed that he wasn't SO much elected rs
he had VOTED. why. yes you be, said
the man. The governor pricked up his
ears and began 10 look for the papers.
be now discovered that sure enough he
was elected after all; so. eating cold
doughnut and drinking some non-elastic
cider, he returned TO the barn. Admins

The COW who assisted him during his
calm reign OF oat meal and chastened
noaotony has long since passed to her
reward.

time when he made the trip by diligence
20 Albany and back with pair of spliut

and an Oleander from Olean, who went
along as an amanuensis.

Governor Clark TO esteem. ever through
life and even beyond the confines q

habits OF industry can never enter, those
