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. ,' ' .

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.
