' flWE following will bo new to Our ruad JL ers. We got the facts from a source which we know to bo trustworthy. ' ' President Lincoln, on one of his early morning -walks, while MoClollan, with the Arrhy of the Potdmac, was on the Chicka homlny,' dropped In at the War Oflice( and found the Sceretnry, as usunl, tip to his ear's iu business. TelograniS woro thick Upon his desk,' and Important reports from subordinates were' at each elbow. ' The President nodded kindly and sat down. As It chanced, Mr. Lincoln had seated himself by a small table upon which was a pile of papers held together by a spring claap. ' lie bad seen too many papers of that description not to know . what tbey were,' 1 They:' were- petitions for oflioe some as long as a Corn-Law"; petition and signed by the whole voting foreo of a district, others with not more than one or two hundred name, while others had come with fewer1, and with still fewer signers. Borne were signed by Governor, Ex-Governors, and Members of Congress, and others bad only recommendations of military heroes of fame and renown. ; The office asked for was a valuable one. The former incumbent had boon transferred to an important post in the West by Gon. Halleck, and a special detail by the Secre tary had since been doing the duties , ap pertaining to the vacant oflice. Mr. Lin coln took the applications from their clasp and looked them over, f Ilis face, length ' onod, and his ljps tightened, as his gaze becanio lost in the ; wilderness of names opened before him. , , .. . . . "Stauton," Baid ho, "what are you going to do about this ? Have you selected your man for the place ?".'!' .. " Selected 1" cried the Secretary, push ing away a lot of , papers from before him, and facing about, "How is a man going to select,? Look at the list of applicants, and look at, tho hosts of sponsors. Just at this moment I don't want to offend anybody needlessly. I am obliged to offend enough any way." , ' , , ' "Here's a man royally recommended," said Mr. Lincoln, holding up an application of great length, and bearing the signatures of men mighty, in the political arena. " This man ought to bo worthy." " Look further, Mr. President, and you will find that petition thrown In the shade entirely." 1 , ' ' ' " Mercy 1" exclaimed the President. Ho had taken bold of a petition which had un folded itsolf to the floor. 1 . " Go on,' go on, you'll find more of the samo sort," said the Secretary. ' The President overhauled the heap, and near the bottom he came across a simple petition, bearing only the signature of the applicant. ' " Poor fellow ! Horo must lie a man with out friends. Not one to speak a word in his favor. Aud how simply be asks for the situation as though it wore the office of pedagogue in a frontier school. Do you know the man?" ' ' ' The Secretary took the petition arid look ed at it. ' , "' " Yes," he said. "Ho brought the pe tition with his own hand. He was intro duced to you last evening, at Seward's." . " I remembor," said Mr. Lincoln, with a brightening look. " The plainly dressed, quiet youth, who had his mother with him?" ' , "Yes.". ; " Say, Stanton, do you think him fit for the place?" ' '" ' " I do, certainly." " " Then, as be seems so entirely friendless among the multitude who have friends without number, I will be his friend. He shall have one at least." ; - And President Lincoln took a pen and placed his strong autograph npon the roar gin of the young man's petition; We need hardly add that the young man thus befriended received the appointment. we may add, nowever, that he proved himself a most worthy recipient of the good President's favor. , Graveyard Wit. ' An Irishman who bad been employed at the cemetery some time since, went to Washington to diaw his pay.' After re ceiving the amount, the paymaster,' dis covering a sabre cut on his face, remarked : ".You were in tho army during the war?" ' Yes,'? said he.. " What command were youln?'! "In General Fltz Hugh, Loe'i command, sir,"., J'Didyou have the au dacity to apply to a Federal cemetery for work when yon were in the ebel airoy V Yes," replied the Irishman V I helped kill theoit so 1 thought I hail a right to help bury them." 1 , . , Yery Exact. A case of rather troublesomo exactness on the part of a down East lady is report ed.' . A woman called af. a grocory store re cently and made ,' gome purchases,' paying cash therefor. An hour or two afterward she returned in some agitation, inquiring if a pocket-book had been, seen; she had lost her's - and hoped they had found it. Nothing had been seen of It, and a search was instituted, when the lost articlo was found behind a barrel in front of the coun ter. Another half hour passed, and again she appeared, this time asking if any one had tampered with her pocket-book while it was at the store, as the money was not all tlicro. 1 "How much is missing?" inquired the trador. ' i "One cent," was tho reply. "noro, John," said the store-keeper give the lady one cent from the drawer." She took it and went 6n her way rejoic ing. ' '" ' ' ' ' Later Next day, we understand, the woman brought back the money, saying she had bought a cent's worth of hairpins the day before, and forgot it when she miss ed tho pocket-book. ' , Itomance of Arithmetic. The most romantic of . all numbors is the figure 0, because it can't bo multiplied away or got rid of anyhow. 1 Whatever you do, it is sure to turn up again, as did the body of Eugouo Aram's victim. One re markable property of this figure (said to have been first discovered by Mr. Green, who died in 1794) is that all through the multiplication table the product of ntno comes to nine. Multiply by what you like, and it gives tho same result. Begin with twice 9, 18 ; add the digits together, and 1 and 8 mako 9. Three times 9 aro 27 ; and S and 7 are nine So it goes on, up to eleven times 9, ' which gives 99. Very good ; add the digits ; 9 and 9 are 18, and 8 and 1 are 9. Going on to any extent it is impossible to get rid of tho figure 9. Take a couple of instances at random. Three hundred and thirty-nine times 9 are 3,031 ; add up the figures, and they are nine. Five thousand and seventy-one times 9 are 45,639; the sum of these digits is 27; 2 and 7 are 9. ' t3T The gifted Sargent S. Prentiss once gave a sumptuous dinner to some' friends at a hotel in Vicksburg. Early in the evening a stranger entered tho room by mistake. Prentiss courteously invited him to join the party. Before long the strange guest began boasting of how much ho bad drank during the day a cocktail here, a smasher thorc, a julep in this place, a sling in that, and so on, apparently with out end. At length Prentiss interrupted him : , . ' ' Sir," said ho, "do you bcu'eve in the doctnue of metempsychosis?" ' 'I don't know," was tho reply, " and I don't see that it has anything to do with what we were talking about.", " "It has," rejoined Prentiss, " much much evory way, I have firm faith in that doctrine. 1 believe that in the next life every man will be transformed into' the thing for which he has best qualified him- solfiuthis. In that lire, sir, you will be come a corner groggory. "Bench and liar. tAs a matter of course, when clergy men exebango they preach old sermons. That they may do so is one of the reasons for exchanging. It does not follow, how ovor, that they should not look ovor the MS, t,o, see if tho local points need altera tion. We read of a Somervillo (Mass.) preacher who went over lately' td Andovor to preach. ' In his discourso was an allu sion to the Insane Asylum at Somervillo., And forcrottimr that ha wan In AnHnvoi he said, . "soonoi' khan a child ' of ' mine should' bo subjected to such influences ' T would be willing to have him conflnod in yonder , Institution." And the good man pointed directly at the Ahdover Theologi cal Seminary. tlTThe Titusviife Herald says : ' A young lady whose "pa struck He" a few years ago, and who has since been at board ing school, reeeutly returned and a party was given her benefit. , Upon the bottom of her invitation carde she caused to be in scribed, " R. S. V. P., and one was sent to an illiterate rich fellow, who has also made money by boring. Ho did not come, but scut a card with the letters "I). S. C. C." Meeting hira in the street, she asked him what the letters meant. "Tell me fii'Bt what yours nieaut?" "Oh, mine was French for 'respond if you cannot accept,' " " Well mine was English for. '. damn sorry I can't come.' " . , , , V!T A Scottish gentleman named Ma crae lately forwarded by train to his Wife in Edinburgh, a "box wbloh was found to contain 4J pounds of blasting powder, ounces of gunpowdor, and a liberal supply of brokeu glass bottles. A pistol at full cock, with a cap on the nipple, was set in the midst of these dainties, with a string fastened to the trigger in such a way that, but for extraordinary precautions in open ing the box, the pistol must hftve been fired and a frightful explosion caused. ,' ' .

' 'I !; (,', j g) SUNDAY BEADING. Fretting. Fretting is both useless and unnecessary ; it does no good and a great deal of harm, and yet it is almost a universal sin. More or less, we are givob to it. We fret over almost everything. In summer, because it Is too hot, in winter, because it is too cold ; we fret when it rains because it is wot, and when it don't rain , because it is dry ; when we are sicky or when anybody else is sick. . In short, if anything or everything don't go just to suit our partic ular whims and fancies, wo have one gen eral refuge to fret over it. I am afraid fretting is much more common among wo men than among men. We may as well own tho truth, my sisters, if it isn't altogether pleasant. Perhaps it is because the little worries and cares and vexations of our dal ly life harass our sensitive nerves moro than extensive enterprises which generally take the attention of men. Great wants dovelop groat resources, but the little wants and worries are hardly provided for, and like tho nail that strikes against tho saw, they make not much of a mark, but they turn the edges terribly. I think if we look upon all tho little worries of one day as a groat united worry, solf control to , meet it would be developed." But as they generally come one or two littlo things at a time, they scorn so very little that we give way, and the great breach once made in the wall, soon grows largor.. Now I don't be lieve in the cant that a woman must al ways, under all circumstances, wear a smiling face when her husband comes home, or that sho needs to take her hands out of tho dough, or drop tho baby on the floor to run and meet him at the door. But I do believe, nay, I know, for I have ' seen it with my own eyes among my friends that many a woman has drivon a kind hus band away from her, away from home and its sacred influences, and caused him to spend his time at a billiard table, or in a drinking saloon, by ceaseless fretting 'over trifles which wore not worth a word, much less the peace and happiness o'f a home. I know that many a mother has turned her son against her own sex, and made him dread and dislike tho society of women, by hor example, constantly before hira. I know that many a mother has brought up and developed a daughter just like herself, who, in her turn, would wreck and ruin the comfort of another family circle. And knowiug all this, my sisters, and brothers, too, if they need it, I know that we ought to set our faces like a flint against this use less, sinful, peace-destroying and home-disturbing habit of fretting. Worth Repeating. A presiding elder of the United Brethren Church was preaching in Minnesota, and was much annoyed by talking and laugh- y ing. He pauBod, looked at tho disturbers, and said : " I am always afraid to reprove those who misbehave in church. In tho early part of my ministry I made a great mis take. As I was preaching a young mau who sat before me was constantly laughing, and almost continually making uncouth grimaces. I paused and administered a se vere rebuke. After the close of the ser vice, one of the official members oame to me and said : 'Brother, you have made a great mistake ; that young man whom you reproved Is an idiot.' Since then I have always been afraid to reprove those who misbehave in church, lest I should repeat the mistake and reprove another idiot." During the rest of the service, at least, i j i tuna was guuu UIUC1, " Hod's Flag." "As one of the brigades of the reserve corps which came up to the rescue of Gen eral Thomas at Chlckamauga was march ing through the town of Athens, a bright eyed girl of four summers was looking in tently at the sturdy follows as thoy tramped by. When she saw the sun glanoing through the stripes of dazzling red and on the golden stars of the flag, she exclaimed, clapping her hands: "Oh, pa! pal God made that flag I see the stara I it's God's flag 1" A shout, deep and loud, went up from that column, and many a bronzed veteran lifted his bat as he passed the sun. ny-haired child of bright aud happy thoughts, resolving, if his good right arm availed anything, God's flag should con quer. What a sweet and bappy christen ing the glorious ensign received from those artless lips" God's flag !" and so it is. Treating. A teetotal orator recently delivered htm Bolf as follows : " Now, boys, if you want to be generous and treat each other, why not select some ' other place beside the liquor shop ? Sup pose as you go past the post-office, you Bay, ' I say, my dear fellow, come in and take some stumps.' " The stamps will cost you no more than drinks all round. Or go to the haberdasher's and say, 'Boys, come in x and take a bo of collars. . Walk up to a grocer's, free and generous, and say, 'What kind' of coffee7 will you bava?" ' Why not treat to groceries by the pound, as well as liquor by the glasa f 1 Or take your com rades to a cutler's, and say, 'I'll stand a good pocket-knife all round.
