THE SOBEOWB OF A MAH WHO
WAS BOBH TO BE HUH 6.
.While playing at Baltimore, Dan Mar
ble fell in with a gentleman who had for
merly been a merchant, and a man of con
sequence in the mercantile community.—
His fortunes had fallen in the “sere and
and yellow leaf ;” a circumstance briefly
alluded to in the works of Wm. Shak
speare. Esq., a literary gentleman, now
long since deceased. The person was quite
a character, if his credit was below par
and his “moral grandeur” oh a very limited
scale. In short, :at the time Dan picked
him up, the man was engaged in a species
of practical chemistry, vulgarly known as
mixing toddy, and faro bank.
Dan met him one monßg, in an un
common mood of double-breasted bines,
and invited him to take a drink at the bar
of an establishment where they chanced to
meet, and, to the comedian’s astonishment,
the man actually refused
“ Come along up—what’re you-about ?”
“ Can’t do it, Mr. Marble; much bbliged,
but excuse me.”
“Why, what oii airth ails you? You
look as if you had lost a three year old
colt or a patch of pumpkins. Come.”
The man gave in, took a nipper, and
then taking Dan gingerly by the shoulder,
advanced a few feet from the bar, and in
a desponding tone of voice, says:
“Mr. Marble, you’ve traveled a great
deal, seen a good many ups and downs, but
was you ever drowned?”
“Well,” says Dan, as nobody but him
self could have said it, “ I hain’t, just at
this moment, any particular recollection of
having gone that far—-by water.”
“Was you ever saved from drowndin ?”
continued the melacholy man.
“ Physical demonstration kind of argues
in favor of such a conclusion,” says Dan.
“I have been.saved from drowning.”
“ Then, Mr. Marble, you may be able
to appreciate my unfortunate position. I
.was saved from drowndin,”
“Glad of it. Wasn’t you?
“Glad? glad? Sfo, sir! I lost thirty
thousand dollars by it.” •
“ The dickens you did!” responded Dan,
in astonishment.
“Itis a lamentable fact, sir. Sit down,
Mr. Marble. I know your time is valua
ble ; I wont detain you long.”
“Don’t, if you please,” echoed Dan,
smelling a long yarn.
“I shan’t sir ; a few words will do.—
Suppose we drink.” :
“Go ahead. A glass of sherry,” says
Dan.
“Gin and bitters,” says the melancholy
•man. “My respects, Mr. Marble,”
ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1862.
“ The same,” says Dan. “ Now let her
rip” .
“ Well, Mr. Marble, in . 1881 I was
worth thirty thousand dollars. 1 didn’t
owe a red cent in the world. One day,
sir, 1 went down to the basin to see a friend
off to Norfolk.
“Good bye,” says I. ' “Take care of
yourself, Jim.”
“ Good bye,” says he.
“ But no sooner had I got ‘ take care of
yourself? out of my mouth, than down I
went heels over stomach, off* the wheel
house on to the wharf—backward into a
wheelbarrow—that- tilted, into, the dock,
and my first recollection after what was a
sensation as though I had been converted
into a pin cushion, and forty women jab
bin’ in the pins.
; “1 smelt a hot stove, red flannel, and
apple jack. I heard a jumble of voices.
“ Rub away. He’s coming to.”
“ Tain’t no use. He’s a goner. Burnt
brandy won’t save him.”
“Send for the doctor.”
“ Coroner, you mean.”
“ What’s in his pockets?”
“ Take care of his watch, gentlemen.”
“That part of the conversation,” says
Dan, “sort of revived you, I reckon.”
“Mr. Marble,” replied the narrator,
putting his hand emphatically upon the
comedian’s shoulder—“ Mr. Marble, that
brought me to.”
“ Where am I?” says I.
“ In my shop,” says somebody.
“What’s the matter?” says I.
| “1 saved you; me—l’m the man!”
! shouts the fellow.
“Saved me?”
“And then, as I felt for my pocketbook
and watch, I found I was damp—wet as a
drowned rat.
“Fell overboard, by thunder!” says I.
j “Well you did, and no mistake,,” says
i the fellow. “ I pulletf you out, or you’d
i been crab bait afore now.”
! “ Call a carriage, if you please,” says I,
| tossing up about two gallons of pure Ches
j apeake. Call a hack.”
“I’ve got a small bill agin you my
| friend,” says the shopkeeper. “ They have
| used a gallon of my sperets in fetching
i you to.”
“ I paid the man a dollar
“Then says some fellow standing by
' “ Mister, I spose you’ll treat the crowd
for rubbing at you, and a rolling out the
water.
“ I invited the whole party up to drink,
and handed around the cigars and crackers.
“ I then called again for a carriage.
“ I went for the doctor, Mister. Of
course you’ll gin a fellow something for
going for the doctor,” said another blood
sucker.
“•I gave the rascal a dollar.
“ Now,” says I, “ for God’s sake bring
me a carriage.
“ I was edging through the crowd
towards the door, when a nigger got before
me, hat in hand.
“ Boas, you broke dis child’s barrow all
to pieces. Guy, must hab a quarter or
free lebeh penny bits for mend dae, shuah!”
“ I didn’t kill the nigger, but gave him
half a dollar, and rushed, for the door.—
The carriage drove up—a doctor’s gig at
the same time.
“ Stop sir,” says the doctor; “ 1 shall
charge you for coming here.*
“ Charge/ and be— —!” says I jumping
into the hack.
“Insolent puppy!” says the doctor, “ I’ll
make you smart for this before you are a
day older.”
“Dp if you please,” I shouted, as the
haokman drove off.
“ For some minutes I was unconscious
of all around me, even the wet and brazen
fellow by my side; but who did not long
allow me to repose in such happy oblivion
—rot |and blast him.
“What a cussed set of blood suckers
they were,” says he.
“IJmph!” says I, not exactly knowing
whethier I was a dead or living man.
“ Them fellows down at the shop,” he
continued; “ I pulled you out.”
“What do you want here? What are
you following me for*” I gasped, almost
tempted to jump out at the window of the
hack.
“Well,” he replied, “I’m a poor man
—got dreadful wet—almost lost my life—
me, I saved y®n.”
“ I heard no more—my lifeless body
was taken out of the hade into my lodg
ings.; When I came to, there stood the
fellow, telling my friends how I fell in
like double distilled thunder it fell upon
my ears.
“Me, I saved him.” I again elapsed
into |a spasm. I was sickly and fast in
my bed for twelve long months. My busi
ness was neglected—my friends paid the
fellow who ‘saved me’ handsomely—the
doctor prosecuted me—my friends com
bated him—and when I got out of my bed
1 1 whs a ruined man.
i “ Yes, Mr. Marble, 1 was a ruined man
j —involved —in feeble health and beset by
j a fiend. For, sir, I had no sooner got
| about, than 1 met—met—blast him, he
J froze to me—dogged me like a shadow,
; and wherever I went, morning, noon and
I night, he bawled into my ear:
i “ Me, I saved yon!”
fINDEPENDENT IK EVERYTHING.]
“1 tried to dose up my affairs and dear
out. Couldn’t do it; and between you
and I, Mr. Marble, I took faro for diver
sion, qnd gin and Utters to keep my spirits
from deserting me.” :
“ Well,” says Dan, “is the fellow still
about?”
I hope not—wouldn’t for fifty dollars
see him again. He stole a nigger a year
ago, was caught, and 1 heard no more
from him. I was becoming tranquilized
and happy, when I, learned, last night,
that my ghost was seen sneaking around
town again.” ,
They parted, and Dan saw no more of
his haunted friend; and about a year after
this occurrence, while in the city of Mem
phis, Tenn., J)an heard of the ex-merchant.
He had emigrated from Baltimore to es
cape the fellow who had ‘ saved him,’ went
to Kentucky, and was hung for a fellow
gambler. Just before leaving, he called
out in a loud voice:.
"‘Let me go—don’t anybody save me!”
and he went.
A Young Man’s Fiest Lesson. —Tim-
othy Titcomb is guilty of ottering many
very blunt truths, and here is one from
his letters to the young.
“I take it that the first great lesson a
young man has to team is that he is an I
ass. The earlier this lesson is learned,
the better it will be; for his peace of mind
and his- success in life. Some never learn I
it, and descend into the evening of their
existence, their ears lengthening with
shadows as they go. Some learn it early,
get their ears cropped and say nothing I
about it; while others sensibly retire into
modest employments, where they will not 1
be noticed. A young man reared at home I
and growing in the light of parental ad- I
miration and paternal pride cannot under
stand how any man can be as smart as he
is. He goes to town, puts on airs and
gets snubbed, and wonders what it means;
gets into society and finds himself tongue
tied ; undertakes to Speak in a debating
club, and breaks down or gets laughed at;
pays attention to a nice young woman,
and finds a very large mitten on his hands,
and in a state of mind bordering on dis
traction, sits down to reason about it.—
| This is the critical period of his history.
The result of this reasoning decides his
fate. If he thoroughly comprehends the
fact that he does not know anything, and
accepts the conviction that all the world
around him knows more than he does, that
he is but a cipher, and whatever he gets
must be won by hard work, there is hope
for him.
Got Moke than its Share. —An Irish-1
man employed on a farm, was told by the 1
farmer that one of his duties would be to 1
feed the chickens. This he did daily; but
he observed, with much concern, that I
when he gave them their corn-meal pud- 1
ding, an old drake that was among the |
flock shoveled it in with his broad bill I
much faster than the chickens could do. I
At last an idea struck him. One evening,
as usual, while Pat was distributing pud
ding to the fowls, be commenced soliloqui
zing in the following manner: “Arrah, I
bedad, an’ here ye are agen, ye devilish
spoonbill quadruped; ye lay under the
Bam all day; and when I say chi-ky, chi
ky, be St. Patrick, ye are the firet one
here, and ye pick up three mouthaful all
in one, and now, be yabers, an’ I’ll fix ye
for that, an’ so I will Sure enough, Pat
called the drake close to him, and made a
grab and nabbed him. “ An’ it’s welcome
ye are blast yer ugly picter; when Pm done
ye’ll not pick upi more than yer share.’?
With that Pat got out his knife and trim
med the drake’s bill off sharp and slim,
like a chicken’s, apd thou exultingly threw
him down, saying, “Now, be jabers, ye
can pick up the feed ’long side the bob
tail rooster.” 1
It is Dark.— -The following beautiful
sentiment is taken from “Meister Earl’s
Sketch Book,” entitled “ The Night of
Heaven.” It is full of touching tender
ness:
“It is dark when the honest and honor
able man sees the result of long years
swept cruelly away by the knavish, heart
less adversary. It is dark when he feels
the clouds of sorrow gather around, and
knows that toe hopes and happiness of
others are fading with his own. -But in
that hour toe memory of past integrity
will be a true consolation, and assure him,*
even here on earth, of gleams of light in
Heaven.
“ It is dark when the dear voice of that
sweet child, once so fondly loved, is no
more heard around in murimirs. Dark
when toe light, pattering feet no more re
sound without toe threshold, or ascend,
step by step, toe stair. Dark, when some
well known melody recalls the strain once
oft attuned by the childish voice now
hushed in death 2 . Darkness, indeed; but
only toe gloom which herald toe day spring
of immortality and the infinite lights of
Heaven.”
