The COlOnel's Umbrella.
From Harper's Young People.

Jonas Hanway was said to be the first
man who carried an umbrella in the
streets of London. Umbrellas were long
before that carried by women. hut they
were considered feminine luxury, and
Il man would no more be seen with one
than nowadays he would walk the
streets with n parasol i'll summer, or car
~ mutf in winter.
But Jonas lIanway. thinking like a
sensible man, that all the good things
should not be appropriated by women
boldly walked the streets one day with
an umbrella (probably ii belonged to his
wife over his head. lie not only kept
himself dry among his moist fellow
creatures. but he rendered his name inn
mortal, and left shining example to US
who have not always the courage of
our convictions"
But it was long before the whole coun-
try got used to umbrellas. 1t was told
of one distant corner of Scotland. that in
this quarter umbrellas We're sported only
by the laird and the minister, and were
looked upon by the common class of
of people AS perfect phenomena. To see
the minister or the laird go by with an
umbrella over his head WAS as good as a
circus to the small boys of the village.

saying that the appointment of Secre

when MIR. Lar 81 asked Mr.. Mercer to
support him for the nomination of
Poor Director, Mr.. Mercer promised
him to do so, and was faithful TO his
promise and used all honorable means
TO elect him at the general election BY
being on the ground from the time the
polls opened until they closed solicit
ting votes, and employed a man to
drive his conveyance to haul Larish
and Hidlay voters to the polls, they
being the regular nominees.
Now what did Mr.. Krickbaum do /?
tie opposed Lar:shs nomination, and
did all in his power underhardedly to
defeat him at the general election, and
no sooner than Larish was declared
