In a recent political contest in tho oil region of Pennsylvania, a caudidato who had been accused by his opponent of want of patriotism during our late unpleasantness took occasion in vindicating himself to say ! ' Fellow-citizens, my competitor has told you of tho services ho rendered in tho late war. I will follow his example, and I shall tell you mine. He basely insinuates that I was deaf to tho voioe of honor in that crisis. The truth is, I acted a humblo part in that memorable contest. When the tocsin of war summoned tho chivolry of tho country to rally to the defence of tho nation, I, fellow-citizens, animated by that patriotic spirit that glows in every American bosom, hired a subatituto for that war, and the bones of that man, fellow-citizens, now lie bleaching in the valley of the Shenandoah !' When is a parson not a parson ? — When he's a lamo'un (layman).
