ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 1 1871. 011 In one of the large towns of Worcester county, Massachusetts, used to live a clergy man whom we will call Bidewell. He was of the Baptist persuasion, and very rigid in his ideas of moral propriety. He had in his em ploy an old negro named Pompey ; and if this latter individual was not so strict in his morals ns his master, he was at least a very cunning dog, and passed in the household for a pattern of propriety. Pompey was a useful servant and the old clergyman never hesitated to trust him with the most important business. L' big in and about the town, sundry individ• uals who had not the fear of the dreadful penalties, which Mr. Ridewell preached about, before their eyes, for It was the wont of these people to congregate ou Sabbath evenings übon a level piece of land in the outskirts of the villages, and there race horses. This spot was hidden from view by a dense piece of woods : and for a long time the Sunday eve ning races were carried on there without de tection by the officers, or those who might. have stopped them. 'lt also happened that the good old clergy man owned one of the hest horses In the coun try. This horse was of the Morgan stock with a mixture of Arabian blood in his * veins, and it was generally known that fov beasts could pass him on the road. Mr. Ridewell, with n dignity becoming his calling, stoutly declared that the fleetness of his horse never EH afforded him any gratification, and that for his own part lie would as lief have any other. Yet money could not buy his Morgan nor any amount of argument persuade him to swap. The church was so near to the good clergy- man's dwelling that he always walked to meeting, and his horse was consequently allowed to remain in the pasture. Pompey. discovered that the races were on horse on his own account, for ho felt sure that old Morgan could beat anything In the shape of horseflesh that could be produced in that quarter. So on the very next Sunday afternoon lie hid the bridle under his jacket, went out into the pasture and caught the horse and then rode pff toward the spot where the wicked ones were congregated. Here he found some dozen horses assembled, and the race was about to . commence. Pompey mounted his beast,aod at the signal lie started. Morgan entered in to the spirit of the thing, and came out two rods ahead of everything. So Pompey won quite a pile, and before dark he . was well initiated in horse•rae!ng. Pompey succeeded in getting house without exciting any suspicions, and lie now longed for the next Sunday afternoon to conic, for he was determined to try it again, Be did go again, and again he won ; and this course of wickedness lie kept up for two months, malt ing his appearance on the racing ground every Sunday afternoon, as soon as he could after "meeting was out." And during this time Pompey was not the only one who had learn ed to love the racing. No, for old Morgan himself had learned to loire the excitement of the thing, too, and his every motion when upon the track, showed how zealously he en tered Into the spirit of the game. . But these things were not always to remain a secret. One Sunday, a pious deacon be held this racing from a distance, and straight way went to the parson with the alarming in• telligence. The Rev. Mr. Ridewell was ut terly shocked. His moral feelings were out A GREAT SECRET MEM111332 My friend, here's a secret 'By which you may thrive : I am fifty years old, And my wife's forty-five.

Before Monday had drawn to a close it was'gene rally known that Parson nulewell had raced his horse on She Sabbath; and a meeting of the church was ap pointed for Thursday. / Poor Itidew ell was almost crazy with ve:va• Lion ; but before Thursday conic Pompey found how matters stood, and he assured his'. master that he would clear the matter up ; and ! after a day's • search, he• discovered the astounding Not that some of these wicked men hail been in the habit of stealing old Morgan from the pasture and racing him Salt bath afternoons ! Pompey found this much —but he could not find who did it. As soon as tiffs became known to the church members, they conferred together, and tliey soon concluded that, under such circumstan ces it high mettled horse would be very apt to run away with his rider, when he found him. self directly upon the race course. So Parson Itidew ell was cleat al, but it was a long time before he got over the blow,' for many were the wicked wags who delighted to pester him by offering to "ride a race" with him, to "bet on his head," or to " put him again the world for a race." But as Bidewell grew older, his heart grew warmer, and finally he could laugh with right gond will when he spoke of his unexpecl - "It is, most assuredly," answered one of ed race: lie sure there Was no more Sabbath racing in that town: raged, and he resolved, at once to put a atop to the wickedness. During the week he made many inquiries, and he learned that this thing, hind been practiced all summer, and every Sunday afternoon. He bade his parishioners keep quiet, and next Sunday Ile would make his appearance. In the very spot and catch them In their deeds of iniquity. On the following Sabbath, after dinner, Mr. Illdewell ordered Pompey to bring up old Morgan and put him in the stable. The order was obeyed, though not without ninny mis• givings on the part of the faithful negro. As soon as the afternoon services closed, the two good deacons and some other members of the church, accompanied the minister home with their horses. " It is the most flagrant piece of abomina tion that ever came under my observation," said the indignant, clergyman, ns they rode he deacons "horse racing on the Sabbath I" uttered he minister. "Dreadful I" echoed the second dencoM And so the conversation went on until they reached the top or a gentle eminence which overlooked the plain where the racing Was carried on, and where some dozen horsemen, with a score of ho. kers•on, were assembled. The sight was one which chilled the good parson to his soul. lie remained motionless until ho had made out the whole alarming truth. "Now, my brothers," said he, "let us ride down and confront the wicked wretches, and if they will fall down upon their knees and implore God's mercy, and promise to do so no more, we will not take legal action against them. 0, that my own land should beydese crated thus 1" for It was indeed n section of his own farm. As the good clergyman thus spoke, he* start ed on toward the scene. The horses of the Wicked men.were just drawing up for a start as the minister approached, and some of the riders, who at once'recognized "old Morgan," did not recognize the reverend individual who rode hint. " Wicked men !" commenced the parson, as he came near enough for his voice to be heard, "children of sin and shame—" " Come on, old boss," cried one of the ockeys, turning toward the minister. "it ,•ou are in for the first race, you must stir ,•our stumps. Now we go 1" "Alas 1 0, my wicked—" "All ready," shouted he who led in the ITair, cutting the minister short, " And off it And the word for starting was given. Old Morgan knew the word too well, for nn sooner did it fall upon his ears than he struck out his nose, and , with one wild snort lie started, and the rest of the racers, twelve in numher, kept him company. " Whoma 1 who-oa•oa i" cried the parson, at the top of his voice. "By the powers, old fellow, you're a keen one, shouted one of the wicked met who had thus far inanaged to keep ClllBe by the side of the parson. " You ride well." ' "Who-ho-ho.o I who-a-on?' yelled the cler gyman, tugging at the reins with a❑ his might. But it was of no avail. Old Morgan had now reached ahead of all competitors, and he CIIMC up to the judge's stand three rods ahead, where the p, trifled deacons were standing, with eyes rind mouth wile r "Don't stop," cried the judge, who had now recognized Parson Itidewell, and sus pected his business, and who also saw at once into the Si cret of old Morgan's joining the race. " Don't stop," he shouted again ; "It is a two-mile heat this time. Keep right on, parson. You are good for another mile. Now you go—and MI it is !" These last words were of course known to e horse, and no sooner did Morgan hear them than he stuck his nose out, and started off. The good parson did his hest to stop that bewitched animal, but it could not be done, The more he struggled and yelled, the faster the animal went, and ere many moments he was at the starting point, where Morgan now stopped or his own accord. There was R hur ried whispering among the wicked ones, and a succession of very curious winks and know ing nods seemed to indicate that they under stood.. " Upon my soul, parson," said the leader of the abomination, approaching the spot where the minister sat In his saddle, he hav ing not yet sufficiently recovered his presence of mind to dismount, "you ride well. We had not looked for this honor." " Honor, sir !" gasped Parson Ititlewell, looking blankly into the speak( is lace. " Sy—for 'tis an honor. You are the first clergyman who has ever joined us In our Sab bath evening entertainMents." "I—l, sir I I joined yon ?" " lla, ha, Ln ! 0, you did it well, your good deacons really think you Ivied to stop your horse ; but I saw through it. I saw how slily you put your horse up. But I don't blame you for feeling proud of old Morgan, for I should feel so myself if I owned him. But you need not fear ; I will tell all who may ask me about it, that you did your best to stop your beast, for I would rather stretch the truth a little than have such a go.al jockey as •ou sll Ire r." This had been spoken so loudly that the good deacons had heard every word, and the parson was bewildered-, but he soon cline to himself, and with a Hashing eye, he cried `• Yulains, what mean you? Why do you " Hold on," Interrupted one of the party, and, as he spoke, the root or the racing men had all mounted their horses. " Bold on a moment parson. We are willing to allow you to carry off the palm, hut we won't stand your abuse. \Then we heard that you were determined to try if your horse would not beat us all, we agreed among ourselves that if you canto we would let you in. We have done so, and you have won the race in a two mile heat. Now, let that satisfy you. By the hokey; but you did it well. When you want to try it again, Just send us word, and we'll be ready fur you. Good-by !" As the wretch thus spoke, he turned his horse's head, and before the astonished preacher could utter a word, the whole party had ridden away out of hearing. It was some time before one of the churchmen coal speak. They knew not what to say. Why should their minister's horse have joined in the race without some permission from his master ? They knew• how much he set by the animal, and at length they shook their heads With doubt. ' It is very strange," said one. 'Very," linsNvered a second.

A correspondent of the Boston ifournal,who hay rih ly visited Ile scientific party who are spending the winter on the summit of Mount Washington, New Ilampshir•, gives an in terestin.t ace not of the manner in which Om gentlemen composing the party live among the clouds. We give below some interesting extracts from his letter : "The sofonri ors on M i 11'nahington arc "high livers" in one ,ense, but in laying in their stock or provisions for the winter they had a view to actual necessities rather than luxuries. Thirteen or fourteen tons of coal were transported to the summit by rail for fuel, and among the provisions taken up were canned meats and oysters, fresh meats of one or two kinds which could be kept ns long as required by freezing, salt pork which is kept in the sante way, pilot bread, dried apples, canned peaches and tomatoes, corn•starch, ❑our,bcans, sugar, condensed milk, butter, tea and coffee. Water is obtained by melting ice, of which, ns might be supposed, Glue is a plentiful supply at the summit. It is of the purest quality, except that sometimes minute particles of the lichens which grow about the rocks elm are blown off by the high winds are found imbedded in it. Once since winter be gan water has been obtained from the spring near the Lizzie Bourne monument, but this was something remarkable, for the spring is generally frozen. Two meals a day are served —breakfast about eight o'clock and dinner in the middle of the afternoon. Good hours are obserfed, all hands adhering to the " early to bed and early to rise" motto, except when the gales are so severe that sleep is out of the question, or when some celestial phenomenon demands attention. 'rho sharp, bracing at mosphere gives good appetites. Once or twice visitors have taken up some luxuries or rari ties to add to the common bill of fare. Our party added a turkey, which was roasted and served in splendid style on the next day after our arrival, supplemented by the half of a de. Odious Clu•istmas pudding which had previ ously been sent up from Hanover. A finer banquet was never served on Mount Washing ton or anywhere else. Sergeant Smith has a gift" at making a peculiar kind of corn starch pudding which is highly relished, Mr. Nelson is a very decided success in the griddle. cake and many other lines, and other mem bers of the little colony are also talented in various specialties of the catering•lepartuent. The good old New England custom of having a Smithy breakfast of baked beans is kept up without deviation, and at the very time of the terrible gale and intense cold of the night of Saturday, February 4th, the Professer was busy superintending preparations for the mon. row's breakfast. For lack of any other dish that can be placed within the oven of the stove, the beaus are baked in the tea-kettle. For out-door amusements, when the weather is suitable, and when scientific observations or inspections of the telegraph cable in search or a break do not interfere, a variety of occu pations present themselves, one of which is sliding dawn the carriage road for a half a mile or so, or upon the declivity near the Lizzie.llourne monument. In the one case some skill Is required in preventing a descent into the terrible depths of Tuckerman's Ra vine, and in the other corresponding care must be taken that the sled does not get be yond control and tumble over the sides of the Great Gulf. Think of coasting down Mount 'Washington on a hand.sled I A trilling amount of exercise in the rare atmosphere of the summit, especially if there chances to be much of a breeze stirring, is fatiguing. When the wind is so high or the cold is so intense that it is unsafe to go out of doors, as it not unfrequently •happens, books, newspapers, magazines, letter-writing or amusements which would most readily suggest themselves to a genial social circle hived for the day, are resorted to. Snow as we see it below is seldom seen nt the mountain top, and none of the common forms of BLOW nal:es are detected nide ex cept rarely. The general snow plane is evi dently lower. Once or twice during our stay it snowed from clouds which were higher than the mouutatn top, but this phenomena, we were told; was rare. Ice and frost gener ally take the place of the ordinary forms of snow, although the air is frequently filled with the minute epiculw which collect and form into snow flakes in falling into a lower level. The snow which finds its way through the crevices of a building is of the finest and most delicate softness, but without it quickly be comes compact and hard. High winds are the most terrible visitations on the mountains. Snow storms, or even intense cold, may be - encountered with safety as long as one is able to keep active, but it is impossible to withstand the terrific assaults of old Borcas on the exposed mountain peak, Where he holds undisputed sway. Compared with the 'severe winds experienced at low levels, the common wind velocity on Mount Washington in winter is as three or four to one, while in the furious tempests which have raged at intervals, the rate is greatly increased. Some idea may be formed of the compara.: live velocity when it is known that a high wind, which unroofekbuildings,uprooted trees and demolished chimneys In the city of New York,reached only the rate of forty-five miles an hour. The average velocity In Philadel phia, based on observations extending through a period of twenty-five years, was ascertained to be only eleven miles per hour—nine in summer and fourteen in winter. The average velocity at Toronto is nine miles an hour ; at Oxford and Greenwich, England, tt n miles ; and at Liverpool, thirteen miles. The aver age velocity on Mount Washington in winter is probbly about florty-five miles au . Seventy.tive and eighty miles an hour have frequently been indicated, and the rate has exceeded one hundred miles an hour on at least three different occasions. The prevail. ing winds at the summit are front the north west and west. When the Wind gets around to the north it invariably dies away , into a comparative calm. The very sudden changes of the wind are among the atmospheric pecu liarities at this elevation point. It often shifts to almost the opposite direction from that in which it has been blowing with great fury only a short time before. beientilic observations are taken seven times each day, as follows : At TA. M., for Smith sonian Institution nt Washington ; at 7.35 A. M., for the United Stoles Signal Service ; at 2 I'. 111., for the Smithsonian Institution; at 1,35 P. M., for the United States Signal Ser vice ; at 7 P. M., for the Associate Press ; at 9 P. M., fdr the Smithsonian Institution ; and 10 P. M., for lbc United States Signal Service. The observations taken under the direction of the Signal Service are telegraphed nt once to the Bureau of Telegrams and Re ports for the Benefit of Commerce, at Wash ington, and the press repOrt Is forwarded to the agent of the Associated 'Press nt Boston without delay. The Smithsonian reports are forwarded monthly, and copies are also sent to Prof. Hitchcock at Hanover. The obser yations comprise the state of the barometer and thermometer, the humidity of the atmos phere and the velocity of the wind. As a hygrometer could not be used to advantage, a comparison is made between a wet bulb and a dry bulb thermometer. The two thermome ters hang in a little box, open to the air, Just outside the door. One of Boblnson's.anemometers, made . by Casella of London, Is used in measuring the velocity of the wind. These Instruments El= T~:~r:~ seem to have taken the place of all others In this country as well as abroad. They have latelytbeen adopted by the U. S. Storm Signal Service. Four helnisplieri cal cups are at. Inched to horizontal bare which cross each other at right angles. These bars are attached in the centre to a vertical shaft, which has at its lower extremity an endkss screw, and the latter gives motion to a series of wheels regu. I ding the movement of a dial in a little box above. The dial is divided into one hundred degrees, each degree representing fifty revolu tions of the cups, or one-tenth of a mile. A stationary index measures the rate up to five miles an hour, and a second index marks the additional miles. Where It is possible, the anemometers are fixed, and in some instances a self-registering apparatus is added, but on Mount Waslitngton a more primitive mode of observation is necessary. One of the ob servers goes outside the building, and holding the instrument in his bands where the clips are fully exposed to the action of the wind, suffers the queer little wind-mill to turn at its will for a given time—two, three, five or ten minutes as may be determined upon—the result form ing a sure basis fur. caleulation. When the wind is very high the task is by no means an easy one to take an observation with the ane mometer, and a rope is often tied around the observer in order that he may be drawn back to the building if he is' likely to, be blown away. An exposure of three. minutes to a wind blowing at the rate of eighty or ninety miles an hour, exhausts one quite ns much as half a day's severe manual labor. The lep resentative of The Journal tried his hand with the anemometer when the wind was found to be blowing at the rate of eighty-eight miles an an hour. Unable to stand up for a moment before the fearful blasts, it was necessary to lie down upon the ground and brace with one foot under the platform of the depot. When the velocity readies the ndgliarhooil of one hundred miles tin hour, it is unsafe to attempt its measurement since a man miglit be lined up by the wind's force, and literally blown away. The expedition will probably remain at the summit until May, (six months) and one, it least, of its members may possibly stay still longer to make investigations among the early plants of the mountain region. The report a the expedition will he published in the early part of the slimmer, and its appearance will be looked fur with great Interest, as it will con. Min . many important scientific facts. The U. S. Signal Service Department is considering quite strongly the project of making 3lonnt Washington a permanent point of observation in connection with its system of storm re• ports." , • THE BITER BADLY BITTEN Sham Marriage that turua out to be Heal A New York correspondent narrates the following : A pretty English actress, attached to a travelling company, while in one of the East. ern cities took the heart of a rich young scion of a rich old family quite by storm. A very charming acquaintance ensued. The company left one town for another, and the enamored young man pursued. The young actress, like all English actresses, is accompanied by a black alpaca mother. There came a time, a few weeks ago, when that mother wept, and wailed, and gnashed such teeth as the roast beef old England and the perennial doughnut of New England had left her—then she refused to be comforted—since "Er holfering 'ad been &chided by a willianous American." The daughter saw her lover—just to make mother comfortable, there should be a slam marriage, and it would make things so nice, and Horace could go to New York with them. Horace assented. A. young man in thoscompany of a rival manager would, being unknown to mamma, personate the minister. Sunday following mamma, still feeling very unhappy, sat bolstered up -on the sofa. An intimate friend of the pretty actress was discussing with Horace the coming sham ceremony and the effect it would have on the stern mother, when enters to them mademoiselle herself, landlord's son and the strange member of Mr. L.'s company. In a trice the couple stood up, Horace gave the ofllciating minister an irreverent wink--the ceremony was over with. The gentleman took out a cote book and made a memorandum of the names of the high con. tracting parties, and llornce noticed lii alto the thing was carried out ; for the book bore the name of the Rev. Dr. Steele, First l'res .hyterian church, on its cover. But when the giddy youth followed out of the room and slapped the sham : minister on the back and invited the "old fellow to come and crack a bottle for doing the thing so well," he received a well-deserved rebuke that opened his eyes so wide that it is doubtful if he has shut them since. For the minister was a minister, and Horace Is a married man, and the British mother is appeased. But there is a Yankee mother going up and down the land who vows vengeance on the party who have thus taken in her innocent son. A WEALTHY Mishit.—Louis Bernard, tcho died in one of the New York Hospitals On Monday, bequeathed to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals nt New York $lOO,OOO in bonds'and real estate. He was a native of Rouen, France, but resided in this country for the past 10 years, during which time he rarely left the city. His place of residence was a low tenement in Wooster st., near Prince, where he was taken sick about four weeks ago, and a few days before his death he was taken to the Hospital, Ile had lived in all the squalor and wretchedness of the most abject poverty. Ills room was in the rear end of a miserable building, accessible by severol.flights of slinky stairs, and was only six feet In width by eight in length. It was lighted by a very small window, partially covered with heavy wooden bars fastened to the window-frame with strong screws, and on the door were no less than eight different liars and locks. Totally devoid of all furniture, i save a broken table, the room presented in frightful picture of wretchedness. A filthy mattress, supported by a few boards raised from the floor upon several bricks, lay et the end under the window, and at Its side stood a trunk filled with alternate layers of gold and silver watches and jewelry—such as breast pins (many of them set with diamonds), chains,. and rings—separated, by 'sheets of blotting-paper.
