The infirmities of age and the inclemency of the weatheri were too ..much for the aged relative, in•theleetimation of hie son- in-lawso he .proposed teat neither would go the oil,; which proposal was readily agreed to by his aged friend. His 'neighbor, cf� the same political faith, had proposed a fine plan to out- wit the old.nan; duty calla the: son-in- law to pay this neighbor a visit. Pen fails . to describe the exulting joy beaming'on their countenancee,as they' start for the polling booth. To deceive an old man is a prime factor in their political creed, These actione have been closely 'watched by' . the wife, whose. suspicion is aroused.
