Tiio Two Ways.
In the1 county of Lancashire that
busy hlvo of Industry It Is customary,
as it Is in some other counties, oti
Christmas Day to give to the poor peo
ple In the workhouses a treat, In the
shapo of an extra dinner, with plum-
pudding, etc.
In the year 1809 a gentleman, who
Is a- member of ono of the .Board of
Guardians In' that county, went up to
the workhouse In tho union where ho
resides, In order to see how the poor
people fared. Tho dlnuer time wasfix
ed for 12 o'clock. It was about a quar
ter before twelve when the gentleman
referred to arrived at the workhouse.
He spent the Intervening minutes which
were to spare in walking around the
Louse. Ho went Into a room where
sixty or seventy men sat anxiously
waiting for their dinner. Taking up a
position In front of the fire, from whence
he could obtain a sight of all their faces,
he spent one or two minutes In looking
round. After a short pau'so ho broke
silence :
"I was looking round," said he, "to
Bee If there, ,was any one here that I
knew; but I think there is not, unless
It be that man there," pointing to a tall
man on his left.
"No, " said the man, "you don't know
me."
"I think I do," replied tho visitor.
"No, you don't" responded the man.
"You used to live at Summerseat,"
said the visitor, "did you not?"
"JVo, I never did," answered the man,
"But," said tho visitor again, "did
you not work on the East Lancashire
Railway there, when they were making
It, some thirty years ago?"
"Aye, I did," roplled the man..
"I thought I knew you," was the ans
wer of the visitor.
Auouier voice, proceeding from a
man behind tho other one, called out
"I used to wurch ut Summersheat
thirty years back, un aw gects lots
o' brass."
"What,'' said the visitor, "lots
o'brass. How Is It you are hero then?1
The man did not speak, but he aus
wered In a more significant way than if
he had spoken: raising his hand to his
mouth, he made motions as if he were
emptying a glass.
Ono of the paupers at tho other end
of the roo'ra, upon set log this, called
out '
"It's dthrink uz sends uz 'o here."
'Now," ,sald the gentleman, who
was still standing near the fire, "Just
listen to me lor a moment. Our friend
there says that thirty years ago he was
working at Summerseat, "getting lots
o'brass." Thirty years ago 1 was a boy
woiklng at Summerseat, "getting elgl:
teen pence a week," aud here we both
meet to day. Our friend there Is i
pauper, I come as a poor law guardian
but I never did that," (lifting his band
to his mouth as If In the act ot drink
ing.) "I never," continued, he "spent a
penny upon drink In my life. When
I had got my wages, I used to think
that down hero (putting his band Into
his pocket) or else In my mother's
pocket was the place where the money
.ought to go, and not In the pocket' of
the publicans. And Instead of (spend
Ings my evenings In staring Into quart
pots and plut-pots n a public-house, I
usod to go to the evening school or tlill
Mechanics' Institute; to get a kuowl
edge to fit myself for the battle ot life
andhere I am to-day, and there our
friend Is."
Tho.man who had previously called
out, again shouted In tones louder than
before
"It's dthrink uz sendz uz 'q here."

There.is an old darkey In.oMot
tho back' counties who lately, voted' tor
local option, as. he understood It, but
not as the public generally understand
it. The story, a true one, tuns thus:
At a recent. election a friend asked, tho
old man how he was going to vote.
"Ob," the replied, '.'the iRepubllcan
ticket, I always vote' that ticket."
"But how are you going ito, vote on
local .option?" The darkey looied up
and- asHed: "What's that? , "Why,
local option. Is putting down liquor," -was
the reply. Lors a .massy," tald
the darkey, "ot course I vote for. local
option; I votes to put down liquor' to,
the old prlc.o, flp-pcnny-blt a, pint!"
Not very unlike, his paler brethern.ls
that very same old darkey. .
