was engrossing my mind, when, once more,

“ As I looked this t'me a cold, thrilling
chill ran over me, and the huge, rough icicle
again began its sawing motion through my
heart. For, as, pencil in hand, I compared
the map before me with the living map, I
saw masses of the enemy's forces being
hurried to certain points so as to thwart
movements that, within a day or two, 1 in
tended to make at tho.e identical points ;
while on two particular approaches to
Waghington I beheld heavy columns of the
foe posted for a concentrated attack, that T

*¢¢ Treachery ! treachery !” cried I, in de-
spair. And, as before my blood scemed to
stop in its channels for joy, it now did so for
fear. Ruin and defeat seemed to stare me
in the face. At this dreadful moment that
same slow, solemn voice struck once wore
upon my ears, saying :
¢¢ « General McClellan, you have been be-
trayed ! and, had not God will d « herwise,

++ Ere the words had left the lips of my
vapory Mentor, my pencil was flying with |
the speed of thought, transferring to the
map before me all that I saw upon the liv-
ing map. Some mysterious and unearthly
influence was npon me, and I noted and re-
corded the minutest point 1 beheld without
the slightest effort. del y or mistake.

A Short Clergyman.
A few mules below Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
there now lives and has lived for several
years past, a worthy clergyman—a man
however, very. short in stature. Upon a
certain Sunday, about eight years ago, this
clergyman was invited by the pastor of a
church in that village to fill his pulbit for
the day. The invitation was accepted, and
Sunday morning saw Mr. inthe pul
pit. Now. it happened that the pulpit was
a very high one and accordingly nearly hid
the poor little clergyman from view. How-
ever, the congregation, out of respect, man-
aged to keep their countenances, and with
over-pious faces seemed religiously anxious
for the text. They were not obliged to wait
long, fur a nose and two little eves suddenly
appeared above the top of the pulpit, and a
squeaking, tremulous voice, proclaimed, in
nasal tone, the text—
«Be of good cheer; it is T— be notafraid.»
A general roar of langhter followed this
announcement 3 the clergyman became con -
fased and turned all sorts of colors. Many
in the gencral uproar, left the chureh, and
it wasa long time bufore the minister was
enabled to proceed with the sermon, so ab-
raptly broken oft.
Afternoon came. and the little clergyman,
standing on a footstool, had a fair view of
his audicace. The text was annouvced in
due form —

Jory Raxporen Ourponk. —Of the many
anecdotes of this eccentric man of Roanoke,
we don't believe the following was ever in
print :
I7was traveling in a part of Virginia
with which he was unacqnainted. In the
meantime, ke stopped during the night at
an inn near the forks of the road. The inn
keeper was a fine old gentleman, and no
doubt one of the first families of the Old
Dominion. Kaowing who his distinguished
guest was, he endeavored to draw him into
conversation, but failed in all bis efforts.
But in the morning, when Mr. Randolph
was ready to start he called for his bill,
which, on being presented, was paid. The
landlord, still anxious to have some conver-
sation with him, began as follows
¢* Which way are you traveling, Mr. Ran-
dolph #7?

pleasure.

* Have I paid my bill 2”

+t Do I owe you anytaing more

+ Well, I am going just where I please—

‘“ Yes.”
The landlord by this time got somewhat
excited, and Mr. dandolph drove off. But
to the landlord's surprise, in a fow minutes
the servant returned to enquire which of the
forks of the road to take. Randolph not
being out of heaving distance, the landlord
spoke at the top of his voice.
“Mr. Randolph you don't owe me one
cent ; just take which road you please,”
It is said that the air turned blue with the
