:V lttiiilloril by the niiniu ofScrowler
had managed to liavo the stago stop nt
bis liouso for tho passengers lo dine, by
allowing tho driver, Lowis, njip a head
for eacli dinner eaten, nud tho assuraneo
that Lcw'.i grog should not cost him a
cent; hut as tho tavern was ten miles
0111 Parltcr'SjWhcro tho passengers had
formerly dined, and tlioy did not roach
till half past throe, tho landlord dis
ivived that, what with tho jiercontnso
to .Lewis, and tho keen appcties of tho
asskiiguis, who hail tititctl nothing
om bix o'clock, ho was "advancing
backwards" instead of improving ids
ursoby tho operation.
Tlie two worthies held a eousultation,
11 which it was agreed that Lewis should
jo hi'liiiid Ids timo in arriving and tiio
uiidloid Iatn with his dinner, so that as
ion r.n they had fairly commenced op
erations tho horn should bo blown and
10 psi.seugt'iM hurried oil' on tho plea
mt tho stage could wait 110 longer.
This game was played for somo time
1th success; tho hungry passengers
rumbled and scolded Low for nu hour
or fi each duy ; but ho pocketed lUejips
and laughed in his alcove.
It happened about this time, that as
tho grumbling passengers wero about
leaving Parker's tho old dining house,
stout, hearty-looking man, comforta
bly dressed, presented himself at tho
coacli door and too!: a vacant placo on
the uilddlu beat. Ther wero llirco ladies
on tho back neat, tiirco men on tiio front
seal, and now, that an additional pas
senger hud been taken in, three 011 the
middle seat, making it a full slago load.
Tiio new passjuger was iiuilo chatty
.ind sociable, and well acquainted with
men and things, and full of anecdote.
Ho proved (itiito an ngrceablo compan
ion. Rut oven ids versatility nnd good
uaturo failed to interest his fellow-
sufferers long. Hunger was too keen.
At last Scrowlcr'a fifth-rate liouso was
gained, and after a long nnd tantalizing
delay dinner was annouueod. Tho gen
tlemen Willi ladies had b.irely found
timo to help them, and then got clover-
n going themselves to tho luno of tho
fork, when "Too-too-too oto o!" rang
thh drivei's horn at tiw door of the
dining-room, followed by his loud
"Coach right oil', gentlemen! Take
your seats, quid;!"
Up sprang the passengers and scram
bled off, somo swearing nnd somo too
much under tho fear of being loft bohind
to think of anything olsobutgcttlngiti
sldothostnge. Rut tlicro was 0110 among thorn wiio
was so much engaged that ho did not
seem to hear or seo anything of all this
until another blast rang Into tho door
and tiio landlord, Scrowlcr, touched him
011 tho shoulder, with
"Tho atngo la going, sir."
"Dnt I'vo not half tlnished my dinner
vet." rclurnod tho passenger, who prov
cd to bo tho 0110 taken in nt rancors
looking up in stirpriso aud sputtering
forth portions ol food from his well-nil-
ed mouth as ho spoko.
"I'nlsorry for that sIr,"totuniedScrcW'
cr, blandly. "Hut I can't help It. Tho
driver will bO off III n lllOlllCllt. 110 Is
behind, his timo now, and must bo in by
n ceitaln hour, or ho will bo discharg
ed." "Too-too-too too-o-o-o!" scroamedtho
horn, loudor tliuu usual, followed by
"AU-on-board!" from the driver, who
Instantly disappeared.
"He's goltlug on hfs box now, sir,
and will start lu u moment," urged tho
landlord.
"And I'vo uald for my dlnnorl Too
bad. loo bad I Well, hand mo hacl: my
inonoy ; I novcr pay for what I do not
rccolve."
"I can't do that, sir. Horry for you,
but tho fault Is not miuo. My dinner
has been nil prepared, nud you'rp wol
como to cat It."
As matters wcro thus pressing, llio
passenger did not stop long to parloy.
Drawing from his pocket n clean whlto
, handkerchief, neatly folded as II had ion
FRIDAY, JUNE U,
tho ironing table, ho hastily spread it
open on llio table, nnd turning into it n
fresh dish of boiled eggs, then two or
thrco plates of brond, with sundry llttlo
nlcknackcrics,hotlcdltup quickly, mut
tering to himself nil tho whlio in an un
dertone. Then seizing a turkoy in ouo
hand, two roasted chickens nnd his
well-tilled handkerchief in tho other,
ho bowed to landlord and said
"Good-day, sir I I'll finish my dinner
on tho road 1"
Scrowlcr was too much surprised and
confounded to interfere.
Thus equipped, tho passenger mado
his nppcnraiico nt tho coach door, nnd
crowding in, took his placo on tho
mlddlo seat; tho ladlos twltlercd, tho
men laughod or looked grave according
to iholr humor, but our hungry pnbscn
ger seemed In no way disconcerted.
"Won't you liavo n dish, and n knife
and fork 1" asked the landlord, who had
recovered Ids senses, and camo forward,
n few moments nflcr tho traveller had
seated himself, with tho articles, pre
senting tiiein as ho spoko with n mock,
polito air, intending to dash our hero.
Rut ho was not to bo thrown off his
guard.
"Tliank you kindly !" ho said, bow
ing as ho received tho disli nnd carving
Instruments. "I had forgotten these."
As soon as tho pair of chickens and
thu turkey wore adjusted on tho spa
cious dish, which tiio landlord already
repented having put in tho incorrlgiblo
traveler's way, tho latter sang out at
tho lop of liis.volec: "All right, driver !
Go ahead I"
Crack went tho whip, nnd off rolled
the singe, leaving Uonifaeo vexed ,nngry,
and yet amused nt tho liidicrotisness of
tho whole scene.
Aa for tho passengers, all shrunk in
stinctively from tho bread, meat, etc.,
which had been so liberally provided,
while the ladles turned up their pretty
noses, nnd ejaculated in n sofl, low
voico :
"Disgusting 1"
"Hold on hero stranger, will you!"
said ho of tho chickens nnd turkey,
"this confounded, stago jolts at such a
ralo that 1 can't carvo my turkoy."
Indicating with his fingers as he spoke,
on ono sido of tho spacious disli upon
which reposed his proveixler.
Tho individual thus addressed could
do no less than obey the request ; nnd
then llio samo was mado to his other
neighbor who lent tho required aid.
"And now, stranger, do you hold this
bread bag I" extending his clean, well
filled handkerchief to n passenger beforo
him. Ho was, in answer to this request,
politely relieved of his bread, eggs, etc.
Tho dish was now supported ou his
knees and firmly held there by his noxt
door neighbor, who began to enjoy tho
joke, as didmostof Ills other fellow-passengers.
In dissecting tho turkey and
pair of chickens, undcrnll tho disadvan
tageous circumstances, lie showed him
selfn skillful carver. Tho different parts
were nicely separated, nnd laid about
the dish neatly and quilo temptingly.
By this timo the odor of tbo fowls had
awakened into keenness tho unsatisfied
appetites of tho wholo company, who
were only wailing for an invitation to
help themselves. In carving, the ac
complished stranger bad surrounded
tho edgoof tiio disli Willi tho pieces of
turkey and chickeh leaving quito n
spneo in tho centre. Into this ho emp
tied the contents of his pocket-handkerchief,
consisting of a dozen or so of boil
ed eggs, with bread.
"Now, ladles," ho said, lifting tho
dish and partly turning round so that it
rested ou tho taut leathern strap that
formed the moveable back of tho scat,
and thii3 was fully presented lo them
"Help yournolvcs, I know you aro bun-
f?ry."
Tho ladles looked at tho tempting
exhibition, colored, and hesitated
"Don't bo afraid," ho urged. "Neces
sity know.s no law."
Tho temptation wns too gro'it for ono
hungrier than tho rest, who, hesitating
no longer, took tho wing of a chicken in
ono hand and a pleco of bread in tho
other, and forthwith commonccd opera
tlons, not howovor beforo shohad smil
ed, bowed, nnd said a courteous "Thank
you, sir."
Tho other two ladies followed suit
quito naturally, then tho men wont to
work in right good earnest, uor paused
until turkoy, chickens, bread, eggs, and
all had vanished. Of course, tho sauco
for nil tliis was good liuiner, Jokes and
funny sayings Is no small quantity.
After tho catublcs had fully disappear
cd tho empty dish was cast overboard,
and all hands composed themselves, In
tho best temper possible, with them
selves, each other, and all tho world,
Uonifaeo not excepted.

On this occasion, howovor, his guests

this leaked out boforo tho stago moved,
of the great morrlinont of Grimes and tho
cotoilo in his bar-room, to whom ouo of
tho passengers related tho joko. Among
theso was tho editor of n country papor.
On tho noxt morning tho wholo story
niucared in print, with natnos, placos,

John R. Thompson succeeded Edgar
A, Poo ns editor of tho Southern Liter'
ary Messenger. Fresh from tho Uni
versity, well-to-do in tho goods of this
world, and Justly proud of tho position
for tho Messenger thou was tho oldest,
and certainly ono of the best magazines
in tho Union Thompson lived en
prince in a sulto of apartments In Main
street. Ono of them, furnished hand
somely ns a rccoptlon-room, contained
a bcaufct well stocked with tho choicest
liquors. Into this room camo ono morn
ing about elovcii o'clock n hnndsomo,
very intellectual-looking man, who,
bowing formally, nsked if ho had tho
pleasure of addressing Mr. John R.
Thompson.
"Yes," said Mr. Thompson, who had
already rlson.
"My name," said tho stranger, "Is
Poo."
It may bo taken for granted that tho
youthful editor, who was never lacking
In courtesy, gavo his predecessor just
such n reception as tho occasion and tho
man required. If Thompson felt hon
ored by tho visit, Poo was moro than
gnitiflcd by tho cordiality and unfeign
ed respect manifested by tho young
poet. Tho author of "ThoRaven" was
now seated in an easy-chair. Conver
sation flowed freely and pleasantly, Poo
of courso taking tho lead, aud nn hour
or two slipped away seemingly iti as
many moments.
Poo rose lo take leave. Thompson
ontreated him lo roraain. No, ho had
an engagement. As ho turned towards
tho door, Poo's oyo fell upon tiio beau-
fetwith its glittering nrray of silver nnd
cut-glass, and a change camo over his
grave, handsome face. Tn nn ariimntcd
lono ho said, "All! you havo a nico
llttlo arrangement there, Mr. Thomp
son. Perhaps you can give mo some
thing to drink."
"Indeed I can," bald Mr. Thompson.
"What will you have'.'"
"That depends upon what you got."
Thompson enumerated several kinds
of wine, whisky, aud Frencli brandy,
commending tho last as very superior'.
Poe chose brandy. Selecting a tum
bler of tho ordinary size, lie lifted the
decanter with steady hand and began
to pour ono finger, two fingers, thrco
fingers, four fingers, flvo 1
Tnompson became alarmed. "Ex
cuse my seeming incivility," said ho
"such It really is not, I assuro you
but, Mr. Poo, aro you aro you not
(akiny a llttlo Just n Jittlo too much
for your own good'."'
"No, sir, not at all," was tho reply.
"I know myself thoroughly well, Mr.
Thompson and can gaugo myself to a
hair. I have had somo cxperionco in
these matters, and I havo discovered
about brandy, good French brandy,
this reinarkablo peculiarity tlial it is
least injurious when you fill tho glass
as nearly full as possible, and leave
room ror as littio waicr as poisiuio."
And tho pouring went steadily on till
tho tumbler was full to tho very brim.
"Now a drop just a drop of water, if
you please."
Tho drop of water it was barely moro
than that was added, and thon, to
Thompson's amazement and horror,
Poo drained his glass to tho bottom.
Ho lingered awhile, and Thompson,
fearing that the brandy might toll upon
bis distinguished guest after ho got Into
the street, suggested, as adroitly and
respectfully as ho could, that a few mo
ments of reposo on tho sofa might bo of
service to him.
"Oil no !'' said Poo: "you need havo
no fear for mo. Tho brandy Is nothing.
J've already had thirteen Juleps; and
now I think I'll step across the way and
get my breakfast !"
Extending his hand hi farowell, ho

How Wntcli Springs Aro Mmlo.
Tho method of making mainsprings
for watches as practiced In Now York
and other largo cities, is first to cut up
sleol of necessary thickness Into strips
of tho necessary breadth. Thoso strip3
aro then fastened by tho ends in n long
horizontal framo nnd tho edges and
8ldc3 of tho steel aro smoothed by pol
ishors fastened between two sticks and
worked by hand longthwlso on tho
steel, from tho ono end of tho framo to
tho other. After being prepared in this
maimer tho steel is wound closoly
round a wooden ccntro, in tho samo
manner as n ribbon is wound on a small
block, and in tho process of winding
ono end of each strip of stool is fastened
to tho end of another, and a number of
lengths being colled ono on top of tho
other. Tho roll of steel is thon put into
a furnace, tho necessary heat applied,
ami tho hot steel suddenly plunged Into
oil. In this condition, although tho
steel Is hard, tlioro is a certain amount
of flexibility to It, Just tho snmo as a
very thin nnd narrow strip of glass In
elastic, which provonts tho steel from
breaking when tho surfaco Is being pro
pared for blueing, and which is done Is
something tho samo manner as smooth
ing tho steel in tho first instance, only
finer polishing materials aro used. Tho
blueing Is dono by drawing tho steel in
straight lengths over an alcohol lamp or
a hot pleco of metal, which renders it
perfectly clastic, and afterwards it Is
cut to tho proper lengths nnd tho eyes
for tho hooks put in, nnd thon colled
Into a spiral form ou a tool, the
samo in prlnciplo as tho tool used by
watchmakers in putting mainsprings
in their barrel or boxes. Ilorolog leal

nurso will do nothing from morning

will drcs3 them up and tos3 them away,

wanted to make a 'swap,' but ho did
not seo how ho was to do it. Al last. ho
thought of a plan.
His horso had been taught to sit down
liko a dog whenever ho was touched
with tho spurs. Seeing a wild turkoy
tho Yankeo mado his horso perform
this trick, and asserted that ho was
pointing gamo as was his custom. The
Kentucklan rodo in tho direction hull-

over which tho black horso carried his

would allow hlmsolf to bo carried away,
