Once upon a time an editor, after revolving in his weary mind a few of ibe wearing problems which are the mysteries of his singular profession, left the seclusion of his office and sal lied for tli into the busy world to do a tun iig men as. lie was done by. He had lonp years before been disabused of any impression which might have haunted his mind that he knew acy thing about editing a paper, for every man who cams into his office knew more about that busiuess than the un fortunate editor did, and never scru pled to tell him so. But the poor man thought it would L a very agreeable and pleasant thing to do as other men did, and it was for the purpose of fol lowing general custom that he went out on this beautiful day so long ago. The sun was shiuing btightly; the dull, distaut hum of insect life in the adjoining county came faintly to his art f bird war ingiDg,-nd o-se-rene and peaceful was the aspect of nature that it seemed impossible..::: sueh a bright, beautiful world,' there C"'!ld De 80 mucu misery, wretched ness, wickeduess and total depravity. But there waa all the same,- for there was the editor to prove it. lie went into the office of a lawyer with whom bo was slightly acquainted, and, seating himself in a chair, put his feet on the desk and began to whistle "Silver Threads Among the Gold," in a loud tone of whistle. The attorney looked astonished and asked what his visitor wanted. He said nothiug, but took a bundle of papers from a pigeon hole, and begau to look them, over and read out loud. When be had got through, the indignant lawyer took his visitor by the neck and geotly but firmly kicked him down stairs. "Aud yet," mused the unhappy man, as he brushed olT his clothes aud went limping on his way, "that man was in my office only day before yesterday and read three of my articles before they were published. It is singular how diil'ereut it is when I read his." He went iota a dry goods store, and bad just time to get behind the counter when a lady came ic and asked for some brown satiu. "Yea'am," he said. After creating an earthquake in that part of the store, he followed her directions and got what she wanted. "How much do you want?" he ask ed, "about half a column 1" v She stared. "Thirty or forty liuea be enough?" he inquired, She said she wanted half a yard. "Ahl" he said, "About eighteen squares yes, yes. T" "And cut on the bias, she contin ued, js. " r ; 1 "Certainly," he said ; "buy as much as you please." And be began to tear the goods ia various shapes when tbe merchant collared him andiut him out. -'i ' , "And yet," tk poor man musod i as be went on, "that very man wrote two articles for the paper tbe other day, declaring that they were- belter th anything I had written fci six months; and although avaty tiva. subscribers stopped their papef when they were published, he never sent anything around to pry for it." ; He turned sadly iuto a drug store, took a preacriptlW' froraa poor wo man standing there, looked it wiaely over, and then took a little quinine, arsenic, morphine and strychnine, put them up In powders, and told the wo man to give her husband one every two hours until he didn't complain any more about his head. As she wut out of the door one of the pow ders spilled on a dog's back, and the animal died in three seconds. The ed itor was arrested, and ouly released on giving a solemn promise to support the ttuariif for ra-aloctioa. .1 . nr...- "How is it," he wondered, "that all classes of men, of all occupations, have found time not only to perfect them selves in their own business and pro fessions, but also to master miue more thoroughly than I have been able to do by giviog my eutire time and strength to it ?" . He sighed as he walked into a bank. He put his, bead iu at the paying tell er's window aud shouted "Hello 1" as loud ss he could roar. Then he drummed oa the glass with bis fingers, and wan forcibly ejected by tba por tsr ' . "I give it up," he said. "I am the most worthless of mankind- 1 dou'l know how to attend to anybody's busi ness but my "owu "'aud so he walked drearily back to his dismal sanctum, where he fuuud seven an en, four of them perfect straugers to him, occupy ing tbe chairs, pouring over tbe ex changes, leading the proufs aud com menting thereon, aud making fun of bis pet articles, tta sat down ou tbe wood box and tried to think up a leader for the next day's paper, and dropped a tear as ha recalled bis boy hood's happy duys, and the time that would ellipse before tho pirate, sitting 1 A A DECEMBER 22, 1875. in his own particular arm chair.wotild get through cutting the best things out of the latest papers and putting them in his hat. But he looked out of the window and saw his expatriated local trying to writo up his notes against the side of a brick hojse on the other side of the street, and he felt some gleam of comfort from this company in his raiserjand took courage. Moral There was a moral to this story when we Commenced, but we have got so far from the commence ment that we havs forgotten what it was. Never mind; readers always skip the moral anyhow. WmtlMNU ANECItOTB. As a general rule, ministers find, on the principle that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," that it is always better to take the fee at the time of the wedding than to wait for any after-judgment of the matter. A certain clergyman to this day bears a grudge agaiust New Jersey because a Jerseyman, after bis wedding, asked if 1,0 should ywpL-t.he tisne or settle when he came fdC-iiertfficate. The modest minister said, "Oh I when you come fur the certificate." And that has never come yet. There seems to be a strange atmos phere of mistakes about the wedding service, and even the printers join in this. An English edition of the "Prayer-Book" came out a short time ago, with the following misplacement of a single letter: "Wilt thou love, honor and cherish," etc, eto., "aud forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her as long as ye both hUUke,u a change from "live" to "like," well suited to the changing habits of the present matrimonial life. . Another very common mistake among ignorant people, who chant the Episcopal service, is in the allitera tive sentence "To have and to hold from this day forward." I know a clergyman who assures roe he has it very frequently rendered, "To have and to behold from this day forward." The nervousness of the parties to be married very often accounts for some mistakes. A pretty-well-frightened groom on one occasion, feejjng that he must he brave and speak up well when the officiating clergyman asked any question, boldly replied to question addressed to the father of the bride: "Who giveth this woman to be mar ried to this man?" "My sponsors iu baptism !" Another frightened youth,' reniem bcrisg, in the presence of some beau tiful bridesmaids, the answer to one of the questions in the order of baptism, replied to the question : "Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wifo?" "I renounce them ail, and, by God's help, will endeavor not to fol low nor be led by them I" Readers of Thomas Hardy's story, 'Far from the Madding Crowd," will remember the scene in which Bathshe ba, on taking charge of the farm, in quire how it was that Mrs. Bell ever couseuted to. name b sou tJaiu." Joseph Poor gran and the others ex plain that the "pore" woman was flus tered at the time of the christening, and got tba Bible brothers mixed up in her mind, and thought at 'the mo ment "us how ie'was Abel what killed Caiu, and not t other way ; however, they tried to soften it down a bit by calling him 'Cainry.'" On the same principle, iu England, at a wholesale parish weuJing where some dozen couples were to be poited en masse on a Sunday, a ehysort of Wan got crowded iu the wrong place, next to a strong, bustliug woman, who likewise missed ber man, and, before they knew it, they were married, as was also the odd uu tabor two. Hereupon the shy mau made so bold as to tell the min ister of the mistake, and, while he was debating iu his owu mind what was to be done, the old woman ex claimed, "Sure, and let it be; isu't it fair all round, after all, aud isu't one man as good as the other?" The devil a bit's the di!'orence, says BiidgetMc Shanel" AppUion't Journal. They were standing in frnut of her gate, having just returned from a dance. II is right arm was occupied iu holdiug her up, while his shoulder furnished a resting place for her little head. And they were watching the bright aud glorious moon. It was the same ol J moon that bad looked down on so many similar scenes, but some how it bad a difl'ereut appearance to uight. It influenced the young man to such a degree that he said : "With what refulgeuce does bright Luna shed her rays upon all creation, weaving weird, fantastic shadows araoug the leafless trees, and spreading a silver glory over all. Do you observe the mag uificeut e fleet, Mamie?" "Yes, indeed, Heury," she returned ; "and did you see that Jen Clemens at the dance? She had on last winter's drest, made over; aud she's worn that blue waist ever since I cau remember, never saw such it looking thing.". Henry gapped, $2 PER ANNUM. A WAR DI EI. On the 12th day of June, 1863,- I witnessed a duel between a Captain Jones, commanding a Federal scout, and Captain Fry, commanding a rebel scout, in Greene county, East Tennes see. The two men had been- fighting each other for six months with the for tunes of battle in favor of one and then the other. Their command were camped on cither side of Lick Crefk, a large and sluggish stream, too deep to ford and too shallow for a ferry boat; but there a bridge spanned the stream for the convenience of the traveling public. Each of them guard ed this bridge, that communication should go neither north nor south, as the railroad track had been broken up months before. After fighting each other for several months, and contest ing the point as to which should hold the bridge, they agreed to fight a duel, the conqueror to hold the bridge un disputed for the time being. Jones five the challenge, and Fry accepted, he terms were that they should fight with navy pistols at twenty yards apart deliberately walking toward each other, and firing until the last chamber of their pistols was discharg ed, unless one or tbe other fell before all the discharges were made. They chose their seconds, and agreed upon a rebel surgeon (as be was tba only one iu either command) to attend them in case of danger. Jones was certainly a fine-looking fellow, with light hair, blue eyes, five feet ten inches in height, looking every inoh the military chieftain. He was a man that soldiers would admire aud ladies regard with admiration. I nev er saw a man more cool, determined, and he roio under such circumstances. I have read of the deeds of chivalry and knight-errantry in the middle ages, and of brave tneo embalmed in modern poesy ; but when I saw this man Jones come to the duelist's scratch, fighting, not for - real or supposed wrongs to himself, but, as he honestly thought, for his eountry and the glory of the flag, I could not help admiring the man, notwithstanding be fought for the freedom of the negro, which I was opposed to. Fry was a man full six feet high, slender, with lonir, wavy, curlinchair. jet black eyes, wearing a slouch hat and gray suit, and looking rather the demon than the man. There was noth ing ferocious about him ; but he had the self-sufficient nonchalanco about him that said, "I will kill you." With out a doubt, he was brave, cool, and collected, and, although suffering from a terrible flesh wound in his left arm, received a week before, bo manifested no symptoms of distress but seemed ready for the fight. The ground was stepped olT by the seconds, pistols loaded and exchanged, and the principals brought face i ' I ebsjll nets forget that meeting. Jones, in his military boyish mood, as they shook hands, remarked that 1 A soldtor braves death for a f.meiful wreath, ' When in glory's romantic career. .' Fry caught up the rest of the sen tence, and answered by saying: Yet he bends o'er the foe when Jn battle laid low, Aud bathe's every wound with a tear. They turned around and walked back to the point designated. Jones' socond had the word "Fire," and as he slowly said: "One two three fire!" they simultaneously turned at the word, "one," and instautly fired. Neither was hurt. They cocked their pistols and deliberately walked toward each other, firing as they went. At the fifth shot, Jones threw up his right hand. and. firing his pistol in the air, sank down. Fry was in the- act of firing his last shot; but, seeing Jones fall, silently lowered his pistol, drop ped it to the ground, and sprang to Jones' side, taking his bead in his lap as he sat down, and asking him if he was hurt. I discovered that Jones was shot through the region of the stomach, the bullet glancing around that organ.and coming out to the left of the spinal column; besides he bad received three other frightful flesh wounJs in other portions of the body. I dressed his wounds, and (rave him such stimu lants as I had. He afterwards got well. Fry received three wounds one breaking his left arm, one in the left and the other in the right sido. After months of suffering he got well. Neither of them asked for a discharge, but both resumed their commands when they got well, and fought the war out to the bitter end, and, to-day are partners in a wholesale grocery busiuess down South, doiug a good business, and verifying the sentiment of Byrou that "A soldier braves death," etc., etc. Cor.

ItKI.K.HATKK 1AH M HI.I,, The following description of the Delemater gas well Is written by Eli Perkins to the New York Sun : All night long I listened to the rnnr of that great Delemater well, and the next morning I rode four miles over scrub uak hills, through muddy gulches, and past, I suppose, fifty oil wells, to see the startling wonder. 1 he noise grew louder and louder as we approached. Than tbe rumblo changed to a hissing rush like a thous and locomotives blowing off blcaru. At an fighteenth of a mile the noise changed again to the continuous roar of A thousand cannon. The human voice could not be heard. Communi cation was by pantomitun. The flame shoots into the air seventy feet like a steeple ou fire. The hills were cover ed with snow, but for two acres around the well the grass is greet, and grow ing, except close to the well, where tho ground looks like burnt lava. At 11 safe dista-ice calves and sheep Bland warming themselves and eating the hot house grass. This" two acres of sterile Pennsylvania looks like a sec tion of fertile Florida. . "What makes it sound like the con tinuous report of artillery?" I asked the engineer. i "Because it is a five-inch cannon constantly exploding. Look," said he, "you see the first flume twenty feet from the muzzle, that is the flash, the explosion. It is like a cannon only this is continuous a million caunOus a minute In fact, one explosion and concussion going ou forever!" It Is wonderful to see this volcano flame exploding in the air. Tbe pres sure is so great that the gas cannot ig nite till it gets twenty feet beyond tlie muzzle. The stream of gas comes up 1,6G0 feet through a five inch pipe, and is conducted off 200 feet through anoth er tube, where it fiuds vent. The gen eral pressure of the gas with the valve open is 800 pounds to the square inch. AVe partly closed the valve and the f treasure ran up to 1,200 ; closed it tv ittle more, and the tubing began to. tremble and the great ton weight hold ing it down began to lift. It was only a quick turn of the skilful engineer that saved 1,600 feet of iron tubing, anchored dowu with several tons' from shooting like an arrow into the air. You can better realize the terri ble pressure of this gas when you re flect that the pressure of an ordinary locomotive boiler is from 80 to 125 pounds to the square inch, while the pressure from this well, if the valve ia closed, would run up to 2,500, and then tear the tubing out and throw the heavy machinery into the air. The engineer conducted a half-inch stream of gas into a 12 horse power steam engiue, and it ran it so fast that the machinery broke. The amount of heat and light in the gas escaping ia equal to 2,100 tons of coal per day. The gas would light New York, Philadelphia and Balti more. ' It would run every locomotive in : the State of Pennsylvania. It would fill the biggest balloon iu half a minute and would burst it into a thousand tatters, or shoot it off like a f;igantio bombshell, and, as it is very ight much lighter thnu ordinary gas it will bo or immense value hereaf tor in trying balloou experiments. 'A Massachusetts lady writes: "This morning earljr, as I sat by my open window looking down upon the busy street, I saw a woman butcher jump from her wagon and take a piece of corned beef round to the side door of the residence across tbe way. How neat and tidy she looked, with a dark calico dress, blue checked apron and white oversleeves which camo to her elbow, with a brown hat and a red scarf tied carelessly about her neck. Soon she came out, jumped briskly iuto the wagon, took up tho Hues, ut the same time putting her foot upon the brake, for it was a' down grade and drove off like any other butch er." For some shortcoming a St. Louis wite a strict church member knock ed her husband down with a pudding stick and then held his head in a tub of dirty water until he was just ready to expire. Theu she laid him on tho lounge and, sitting by his side, read aloud a chapter in the bible, and wound up the exercise by asking him if he didu't believe the time is coming when all mea shall be good. A good idea that, and it's a wonder Soyer never thought of it. In Massa chusetts a man calls at your house, takes a chicken or turkey, and brings it back at dinner time cooked, and all for twenty-rive cents. In New Jersey the first part of this) plan has been ia vogue for years, but tne bringing back part has not as yet been generally adopted, Tbo most dangerous of all flattery is the very oommon kind we be-itow upon ourselves,
