Foster was a youngand riaing lawyer, he wooed and was engaged to a young lady whose iániily enjoycd a larger social prom toepee than his own. ïha wedding day had been fixed and the couple were talking over their prospective tour, as a part of which young toster proposed that they should spend a few days with his parents, who resided in a town somc distance away. The lady rather reluetantly consented, but saiil : " I will o with you this time, but in future you must not expect my visits to your parents to be very frequent. You must remcuiber that our associations have been very different." Surprised and shocked by this cold-blooded depreciation of the father and mother whom he loved and honored, the young man paced the floor the sport of seething and conflicting euiotions. Finally, tmking his hat hü turned to the lady and said : "I am glad I have found you out in time ; you maygo to thedevil." The rebuke might not have been choice in style, but it was earnest in spirit. Thoneefurth their way lay apart and she was not ' the gainer. The Onmin: Reporter lias this sad tale of woo to teil : " For some time past posters have announced that there would be a ereat democratie rally at Petersburg Wedne.sday last. It was also dusigned to raise a pole. The day catae, bright and warm, sodid the Hpeakers; but thoerowd- where oh ! where was it? It carne not. Probable cause - ¦ the "faithful" nad hawd Cruui Indiana and Ohio. The pole was not raised, neither did the speakers deliver themselves of' the "argumenta" they had cramroed themselves with for the occattion. Alasl poor pole; pooi speakers;, poor deniocracy. "
