"Tay rrox..—The Kmekerbocker tells
an excelleat story of Burchard, the revi
valist; not of him exactly either, but
what happened at the close of one of his
meetings. He was in the habit of ad
dressing his congregation in this wise :
"lAm now going to pray, and I want
all that desire to -be prayed for to 'send
up their names on a piece of 'paper."
On the occasion to which we refer,
there was at once sent up to the desk
quite a pile of - little slips of paper, with
the names on whose behalf he was to,,
wrestle, as he said, with the Almighty.
A pime soon ensued, when he said :
"Seuki them up! I can pray for five
thousand just as easy as I can pray for a
dozen. Send 'em up. If j•ou haven't
any paper, get up and name the friend
you Want prayed for:"
At this stage of the proceedings a man
whom we shall call Oziel Riggs, a stal
wart man of six feet ,and a half in his
stockings, a notorious unbeliever, and a
wag to boot, rose in the midst of the con
gregation,iand amidst the winks and
becks and smiles; of the auditory said :
"Mr. Burchard, I want you to pray for
Jim Thompson."
The reversed petitioner saw from +the_
excitement of the audience, that Oziel
was a hard case.
"What is your name, ric, and who
Mr. Thompson ?"
"It's Jim Thompson ; he keeps a tav
ern down in Thompsonville, and I keep
a public house a little below him. He is
an infernal scoundrel, and I want to give
him allft."
"But," said Burchard, "have you faith
in the power of, prayer? Do you believe
in the power of petition ?"
"That is neither here nor there," re
sponded Oziel, "ftrant to try it on him."
GIVING THE DEVIL HIE Dm—There
Is a point In the following anecdote : A
pastor wee making a call upon an old la
dy,'who made it a habitual tale never to
speak ill of another, and bad observed it
so closely that she.alarays Justified those
whom she had heaEdevil spoken of. Be
fore the old lady made her appearance in
the parlor, her several children were
speaking of this peouliarity of their
mother, and one of them playfully add
ed : "Mother has such a habit of speak- •
ing well of everybody,
_that I believe if
Satan himself were the subject ofeonver
satlon, mother would find out some vir
tue or•good quality even in him." Of•
course this remark elicited some .smi
ling and merriment at the originality of
the idea, in the midst of which the old
lady entered the room, and on being
told what had just been said, she Imme
diately and involuntary replied : "Well,
my children, I wish we all had Satan's
incluAtry and perseveremer."
A sot.nrsm of the West, during the late
war, being off duty, was engaged by a
landlord to dig a patch of potatoes, on
condition that he should be furnished
with a bottle of whiskey to begin with.
The landlord accordingly took him to
the field, showed him the patch, and left
him a full bottle of his favorite beverage
About an hour afterward the landlord
went to see how the eon of Mare pro
gressed In his business, of farming. He
found him holding on loan old stump, un
able to stm.tl without it, his bottle lying
at his feet, and no potatoes dug. Be
ing quite exasperated, the landlord ex
claimed :
"Hello! you scoundrel ! Is this the
the way you dig my potatoes for me?
"Ha!" says the the soldier, lapping
his tongue, staggering half round, squint
ing and hiccuping, "if you want your
potatoes dug fetch 'em on—for--I'll be
hanged if I'm going to run round the lot
after 'em."
"My son,", said a man of doubtful
morals, putting his hand upon a young
urchin's shoulder, "I believe Satan has
got bold of you." "I believeso too," was
the prompt reply.

A TRAVELEit, passing through a little
town in Kentucky, asked a livery-stable
man how much corn was usually raised
in that part of the country. Ho told
him there was generally raised from
twenty to twenty-five bushels to the acre;
that each stalk had nine mire on it, and
was twelve or fifteen feet high.
"That's nothing to our corn," said the
traveler. "Up in Illinny, where I come
from, we always had nine ears on each
stalk, and a peck of shelled corn hanging
to each tassel, and we never could raise
any corn-field beans with it."
"Why ?"
"Because the corn grew so fast it al
ways pulled the beans up."
A DUTCHMAN from the profane city
of Rotterdam, but at present residing in
Hoboken, recently took occasion, "as

killed one of his sheep. After shooting
him until he was extremely defunct, our
Teuton took, a club and commenced beat
ing the brute's brains 'out. Neighbor
Smith came along, and asked:
"What are you pounding the dog for?

"Yes," answered Hootzensweitzer,
"but I means to let him know that there's

'DAN RICE, the well-known circus man,
remitted, in settlement of An account, to
the publisher of a paper out West, a three

brief remark : "This note is counterfeit;
please send another." It was two
menthe before he heard from Dan again,
when he apologised for delay, saying
that be had been unable "until now to
get another counterfeit three dollar bill,"
but he hoped tLe one he now enclosed
would suit, professing at the same time
his inability to discover what the objec
tion was to the other, which he thought
as good a counterfeit as he ever saw. It
must be admitted that Dan swept the
board.'

A FEW days'ago, while John Wessan
was picking berries in the woods at Bos
ton Corners, near Chatham, NI Y., he
saw something hidden under a rock
which looked like a box covered with
snags. John examined it closely, and
found it was a box, and on opening it
found 85,000 in silver pieces of Spanish
coinage. Among the number were five
hundred Spanish dollars done up In a
bag, on which was some writing, but so
destroyed that It v7;;Js Illegible. None
of the pieces bore a date later than 1808.
The finder has for several yeasts past
been working at odd jobs in the summer,
and in leisure time picking berries.
A FILIEND of ours, visiting a neighbor,
founil him disabled from having a horse
step upon his foot. Hobbling out of the
stable, the sufferer explained how it
happened. "r was standing here," said
-he, "and the horse brought; his foot right
down on mine." Our friend looked at
the injured member, which was of the
No. 14 pattern, and said, very quietly,
"Well, the horse must step somewhere."
AT Guelph, Canada, recently, a coun
try youth, attending the circus, offered
the elephant a plug of tobacco. The saga
cious animal, which had probably been
tricked the same way before, stretched
out its proboscis as if to take the tobacco,
but instead, suddenly seized the wight's
hat, and after chewing it to a mass of
pulp, threw it down at the feet of the
owner.

Dear Cbmparr :—I cannot help expres
sing to you my hearty congratulations
upon the enlargement of your paper. It,
no doubt, hag ('Oct you much money and
pains, and has been the cause of much
earnest solicitude, as to the success of the
enterprise. But I am satisfied that you
ran safely lay . aside your anxiety, for
you will be more than repaid for the
outlay by the consciousness of having
done a good work, and the gratification
of your desire to increase your facilities
for the spread of the right kind of prin
ciples. You will have also the more sub
stantial compensation of a more extend
ed circulation "and an increased demand
for advertising, as well as better facilities
for putting utejob work with that neat
ness and promptness which an increased
patronage will demand. You have now
the consciousness of issuing, weekly, as
large a country paper as any in the State,
and one which does not compare unfa
vorably with our city papers. It is es
pecially plestelng to us, who have swarm
side and a ready ear for everything that
relates to Gettysburg or Adams county,

tent, as well the small talk and gossip,
WS the public acts,those little baby
tracks, which the Winds obliterate, as
well ae those deeper indentations on this
life-course, which are "foot-prints on the
sands of time." It does not tell us the
exact day upon which the future citizen
makes his debut into this noisome world
nor follow the little urchin to the "bap
tismal fouht," but there are twoperiods
in the life of every one which are there
carefully recorded, "marriages" and
"deaths!" What denizen of a newly
adopted habitation does not turu with
anxious eye and eager curiosity to those
familiar titles? Whose heart does not
heat in sympathy when he first catches,
"at the residence of the bride's father,'
&c. But what shell I say when fallow
ing dowu the column, we meetthe words,
'in the eightieth year of his sect' or
"infant daughter of --!" Sad may be
the tale there told—deep may be the grief
occasioned by the sad yews! From the
stoutest heart and sternest eye a truant
tear may start ; yet who would not read
it—who would be ignorant? "That form,
that he once knew, he will kpow no
more forever." I cannot help but ex
elatm—"Breathea there a man with soul

And there are the "locals," which one
reads because he was "Mare and saw ft,"
and another reads because he "toeurn't
there and didn't see it." Then there are
the "jokes" for the young folks, the"po
etry and romance" for the ladles, and
the advertisements for the- business
world. But the "wanderer from home
and frrenda" reviews everything, from
the opening prospectus to the last little
notice that seems to be stuck in merely
to fill out the column. The advertise
ments are "locals" to him, for there he
learns not only who promises the most
"candy for a cent," but what his old
friends are doing.
Our city is dull, though the slight re
vival during the last week or so we take
as an earnest of a much better time coin
jng. Even the political horizon has not
assumed a very stormy appearance—not
much more than the usual crimination
and re-crimination. The monopoly of
the two deposed potentates, Ex-War
Secretary and Ex-Satrap of lithMilitary
District, has subsided. Four or five col
umns daily are devoted to the explana
tion of Grant's position and politics. No
sacrifice of truth is too great to show that
Grant is "opposed to the President."
There are so many thinge to be explain
ed away every day that they are reduced
to an absolute state of desperation, and,
feeling that they van get relief only by a
"victim," hive fallen, likean avalanche,
on the head of Greely. I would not as
sert positively . that Grant cotuddered
Stanton an "obstacle in the way of re
constructing" the South, but be must
certaluly have considered him an "ob
stacle" to the "reconstruction" of the
War Office, or he would not have made
such a radical cleaning out of th'e Stan
ton appointed pensioners on the U. S.
Treasury. To say that It is "just what
the Secretary was going to do," is not an
explanation that will be very generally
received. This cleaning out was done so
soon after his acceptance of the position,
that it would rather lead to the belief
that the General was called,to the posi
tion for this very purpose.
We had quite an excitement among
the Bar, a few weeks ago, but it has sub
sided Just now, to be renewed, I suppose,
after the election. Judge Shannon, whom
the people of G—g will remember as
I having made a very violent speech de
nunciatory of his then recent companions
in arms, "the Copperheads," on a cer
tain "Path pf Nov." not far from the
"lied Front," threw a shell into the
camp which was likely to explode. As
before, he was desirous of showing how
radical a Republicad he had grown to be
in so short a time, so here he desired to
show how radical a Radical he is, and
therefore what a good Senator he would
make, in Bigham's place. He moved
the admission of Mr. Vashon to practice
Law in the Common Pleas Court, That
gentleman belongs to the much loved
race against whom there is to be no
"dieenmination"; is of a dark, muddy
color, the son of a bather in this city,
and has ruithingtecullar in his case, ex
cept that he does not pay his honest
debts sometimes. We have a rule of
Court that all applications of the kind
must go to the committee for examina
tion. As the applicant in this case was
colored, the Judge and his brother non
discriminators thought compliance with
the rule was unnecessary. There being
objection made, a rule was granted, at
the request of Shannon, "to show cause
why Vashon should not be admitted."
It went into the argument list, and from
there to the newspapers and politicians.
After mature deliberation by the "Ring,"
it was considered that as the matter
would have to come up before Judge
Williams, In the Distfict Court, it had
better lie quiet until after the election,
for Shannon's nomination to the Senate
was not as important as Williams' elec
tion to Supreme Judge. It is to be hoped
that when the matter does come up, the
loyal Court will not "discriminate" on
account of race or color, and send him to
the committee as it does the white ap
plicants. There are a good many dis
cordant elements in the Radical camp
just now. The leaders will, of course,
try to unite them before the election.
An eflbrt was made by the "Union," (an
meoeistion of iron laborers) to embody
in the Radical platform a resolatliiet d►-
mandili that a tax be laid on every fbr
eigner landing at our ports. The leaders
were perfectly willing to have any
amount of clap-trap to catch their votes,
such as Tariff, Homestead, &0., but a
broad, plain, unequivocal plank like
that, they could not go, and voted
down. The laboring men have had sev
eral meetings, and insist on candidates
devoted to their Inteseests. Temperance
demands that its tenets bo carried out,
and the lager beer men will not allow its
indulgences to be interterred with. The
managers will, as heretofore, get men
who will promise everything, and after
election, as they must disappoint some
one, conclude to disappoint all by ceiling
themselves to the highest bidder. Ido
not see Just how all theme-discordant ete.

WHO ARB THE REBELS ?—The Radical
jounals think it is a very smart thing
to speak of the forty or fifty thousand
Democrats and Conservatives who have
just voted against Republicanism in
Kentucky as the "rebel" majority, but
they may rest assured the day has gone
by when that silly display of partisan
malice will deceive anybody. Tbetruth
is, there are no rebels in this country
except the Radicals. Jeff. Davis never
was a worse rebel at heart than, for
example, the members of the Rump
Congress who voted the other day to
exclude Kentucky members from their.
