sagacity enough, in the pmseculioti of
this design, to avoid any actual collision

anti state of Massachusetts, there reside
two fi'milies, on adjoining farms, the one
named Harrington, the other Eoi bish,
both men of small proper ty, w ith large
families. Their children have received
such education as the schools of ihe
town alVord, and have been inured to ihc
laljorious occupations of iheii- fatliers.
'I'he third son of Mr. Harrington is
about 2o years of age—Mr. EorbisU has
a son three or four years younger, who
had the misfortune when voung to be
crippled, so as to destroy his ability to
labor as a farmer.
Some time siricc, a conversation tc)ok

I'orbish spoke of his unforiunalo lot iri

served. “I have just bought a lottery
ticket, and if it draws a .prize you shall
ha\e half of it.”
Time rolled on—the conversation and
the lottery by Eorbish, were lorgelton
—bul the lottery was drawn, and Har

defining the powers of congress, says,
“ 'Phe congress shall have power lo lay

And, prohibiiiiig certain powers lo thft
