THE PASTOR
Some years ago the pulpit of St. Pe
ter's, one of the principal German chur
ches in St_ Petersburg, was filled by Pas
tor B-7---, who, like most of the prea
chers of that wealthy sectihad amassed
a eonsidei able fortune, and wits tallith
esteemed mid helOved by his Coll2l'.`ga
tion. Nola day passed without utt bit r
ous applications to him tOr assistance of
various kinds, and none were sent aw y
without a word of consolation ova to( re
substantial gift. '
One day, as he, wits compelled by in
disposition to keep his room, a woman
came-and craved his interference. She
had lately removed to St. Petersburg
with her husband, who was a goldsmith,
'and who had - succeeded in establishing
himself so well that he earned an am
ple support, for ,both of them; but he
made her wretched by his persistent
atid outrageous ill-treatment, without
the' slightest provocation -or retort on
her part 7 -all of which she had. until
now .patiently endured. 7
The pastor e - zpressed his regret that
indisposition prevented him from leav
ing the house. -- - ~
- •Hliring your husband tome," said he.
Thaf.. Will be no easy, matter," re
turned. the 'wocuan ; kV! it sPsPec t
that a rebuke is Min, he will
not come.' No ; he must know nothing
of it beforehand.: But if, I tell him that
you•wish to buy something , from him,
then iie will not fail to wait on your
reveruee.7
"That is a lucky' thought," said the
pa:Stor, " for I ani about , to purchase
complete.tea service of silver."
" And he has just finished e, v,er,y,,beau
tiful one," exclaimed the woman.
The nest
_day the goldsmith came
with his chest, accompanied by the wo
man:
, L.Theriastor was secretly surprised to
see her with him, but advanced to meet
him, saying: ' , • -
' " Alia! the Silver!"
" Yes, yourreVerence, I have brought
the serviee.as.you desired."
" Very, l well, ! said the pastor. "13e
So good, as ,to come with me into' my
studY."
When they were alone, The good cler
gyman begets, to speak urgently upon
thetluty of a husband, and dwelt with
impressive eloquence upon the sacred
' ness of the vow W - deb married partners
make before the
tar to each other.
- His listener see - led very much aston
ished, and seve 1 times attempted to
interrupt his disenurse, but the pastor
begged him to hear him to the end
"What excuse can you make for your
conduct ?" asked he, in conclusion.—
"What is the cause of it? You look so
mild and so good-tempered, my friend.
How comes it that you are such a had
husband ?"
But let me say just one word, your
reference. 'I am —" •
1 " I know what you mean to say. You
are usually as meek as a lamb, and only
impetuous at certain times ; but to go so
far as to beat your wife!"
" You have mistaken the person, rev
erend sir ;• I have never beaten my wife
_ll
" How ? Do you deny it?—fie !"
. " Because," continued the man, " I
am not married."
" Why,, your' wife is at this moment
waiting in the next room."
" Who? . My wife? Your reverence
is mistaken. ',have no wife. That wo
man is your own housekeeper; she
came to me with a commission from
you to bring a service•of silver for your
inspection."
The pastor began to look uneasy.
"She must be a mad woman," said
"Or a thief!" said the goldsmith.
They went hastily into.thenext room
—tint it Vas empty ! The woman had
disappeared with the chest of silver,
and all the efforts of the pollee to recov
er it were in vain.
This incident is calculated to give rise
to many weighty considerations. The
trick was so well devised and planned
that it would have succeeded with the
most p . rudent and circumspect. - The
goldsmith left the silver in the outer
room in charge of the supposed house
keeper, at the express desire of the pas-
tor; while the latter confided it to the
keeping of the soi-distant wife of the
former. Had the latter been brought
intolitigation, whose would have been
the loss? Fortunately the good pastor
had no thought for such an alternative.
He felt compassion for the poor man,
who gained a precarious living by his
labor; and as he, on the contrary, was
rich enough to bear the injury, he bore
it alone.
NOTES OP A TRIP
LIBERTY, Aug 15, 1866.
Editor of the, Agitator:—having re
turned home after a pleasant tour thro'
the greater part of Tioga, county, so ma
ny reminiscences of pleasant observa
tion crowd on my memory, that I think
it proper to give you a brief outline of
the same, as they seein to me of inter
est; giving you full privilege to publish
of the same as much or as little as you
may deem proper, or of sufficient inter
est to your readers.
The general average -intelligence of
the yeomanry of Tioga county, often
observed and remarked upon by me be
fore, appeared to me in a much more fa
vorable light, and struck me more forci
bly, during my late tour, as I mingle 4
and conversed with them at their plea
sant homes where I was ever received
with genial and manly courtesy and
open hospitality.
As I passed over the green hills and
through the beautiful valleys, I could
not help but observe both the cause and
the effect of the intelligences° generally
prevailing among the farmers of Tioga
county, (exceptions excepted,) in the
appearance of the numerous school
houses, mostly constructed in a neat and
substantial manner, as they appeared to
my view passing through the county.—
]; was glad to perceive that, as the farm
ers prospered by their industry, perse
verance and thrift, and were able to
substitute neat and comfortable, and in
many instances very tasty dwelling
houses, in the place of the forsaken log
houses, relics and mementos of their en
durance and -elf denial, they in their
prosperity had also a due regard for the
comfort of the rising generation. in
erecting comfortable and neat school
houses; and I could with pleasure, as
from time to time they appeared in my
sight, look on them as a sure index and
waymark of tine thrifty intelligence of
the neighborhood. ,
As the time when I passed through
the different sections of the county was
a very busy season fur the farmer, in cut
ting grain and especially grass, and
gathering food for the coming winter,
for the cattle and sheep now grazing on
the green hills, the great progress made
in the introduction of machinery to
lighten the laborious task of the farm
er, was very forcibly illustrated'hy filets
surrounding mean all sides. Wherever
passed, on the hillside and in the val
ley, the click of the mowing Machine
struck any can, while only now and then
the sound of whetting the scythe was
heard ; iu the place of a host of hand
rakers in the hayfield the horserake
performed its rapid work; and even in
the sweating operation of unloading,
the genius of Yankee invention has add
ed to the ease of the farmer, by furnish
ing the hayfork, which with a few vora
cious grabs unloads the wagon and de
posits its contents at, the olesired place
of rest.
The' argument so often urged by the
ignorant and the croaker, that the in
vention and introduction of labor-sav
ing machines would take the,bread out
py the poor man's mouth, has long since
exploded, and experience has plainly
shown that every improvement and pro
gress in mechanics and agriculture, has
added to the comfort of all, and dimin
ished the earnings of none.
As Tioga county, in a general view,
appeared to me during my late tour, it
is destined to be one of the best and
richest Counties in this State. Its re
sonregs are more varied, and in point of
fertiliJty of soil, especially in the beau
tiful fralley on Cowanesque river, and
oh many of its uplands, it compares fa
vorably with any other part of the
State; while on account of the abun
dant supply of sweet and fresh water,
and its hills covered with a natural
sweet grass, it is destined to become one
of the finest dairy counties. When we
add to these advantages the riches of
the forest and the treasure in the bowels
of 46 everlasting hills and mountains,
we may form some faint idea of the
bright prospects of Tioga county ; and
proper realization of all these natural
advantages, should. till our hearts with
gratitude to our Creator for the ble , si ngs
which we enjoy, and forever drive all
discontent, the enemy of happiness, from
our minds. C. F. V.
Not a Bad Description
Some years ago, in a fracas which oc
curred not a thousand miles from Vin
cennes, Indiana, a man accidentally
present was severely cut with a knife
by one of the belligerents. Much alarm
was excited, and doctors were hastily
sent for; an 'Esculapian Caine", armed
and equipped," as he thought was ex
actly right; at any rate he went to
work upon the case as if he was going
to do something. Rolling up his sleeves
and diving into it.," he said to thehor
ror-stricken bystanders: " Bad ease—
incised cut of the prineum membranus
—aud—through, the am bilious miuista
ry to the lineralbum. The viscus and
the signum are incised—and the piluric
orifice of the hepethic ductus is lacera
ted to the interior spinus of the attach
ment of the fifth gang—" It was too
much for a particular friend of the suf
ferer. He gave up, and hastened out
into the fresh air to revive his faicting
faculties. While walking upand down,
painfully and despairingly wringing his
hands, in front of the saloon where the
mischief had been done, an acquaint
ance came hurriedly up and said to him,
" How is Sam ?" He replied, " there
is no chance iu the world for hint ; he
must die, poor fellow ! The Latin parts
of his bowels are. all Cut to pieces!"
Is it any wonder that Sam died
The Bishop of Wurtzburg once asked
a sprightly shepherd boy: "What are

"One florin a week." "I also am, a

I have a much better salary." "That
may all be, but then I suppose you haye
more swine under your care," i 60-

Here is a short story by one Morgan,
a sea captain, concerning a husband at
sea, which may afford a comfortable
hint to young ladies:
Single ladies cross' the water under
the special care of the captain of the
ship ; and if a love affair occurs among
the passengers, the captain is usually
the confidant of one or both parties. A
very fascinating young lady had been
placed under Morgan's care, and three
‘,-oung gentlemen fell desperately in
love with her. They were equally agree
able, and the young lady was puzzled
which to encourage. She asked the
captain's advice.
Come on deck," he said, " the first
day it is perfectly calm. The gentle
men will, of course, be near you. I
shall have the boat lowered down, and
you jump overboard, and see which of
the gentlemen will jump after you."
A calm day soon came, the captain's
suggestions were followed, and two of
the lovers jumped after the lady in an
instant. But between these two the
lady could not decide, so exactly alike
had been their devotion. She again
consulted the captain. "Take the man
that didn't jump ; he is the most sensi
ble fellow, and will make you the best
husband."
" OF GOOD MORAL CHARACTER."—
All license., to sell intoxicating liquors
specified that the holder was a man " of
good moral character;" and when he
was urged to look upon his business as
sinful and harmful to the community,
he would with great self-complacency
produce hit. " license." How this ex
cuse will serve him at aWture occasion,
is thus pithily hinted at by Rev. John
r- ierpont in one of his addresses:
" Yes, you have a license—and that is
.our plea.. Well, my friend if this is
your plea, I adjure you to keep it ; lock
it amongst your choicest jewels ; guard
it as the apple of your eye; and when
you die, and are laid in your coffin, be
sure that this precious document is
placed within your cold clammy fing
ers, so when you are called upon to con
front the souls of your victims before
God, you may be ready to file in your
plea of justification, and boldly layyour
license down on the bar of the Judge.
Yes, my' friend, keep it—you will then
want your license, signed by the county
Commissioners and endorsed by the Se
lectmen."
A. late English invention of colored
starch is one of the greatest novelties in
the London fashionable world. Seve
ral colors are already produced, and the
invention is being extended to others.
Any article starched with this prepara
tion is completely colored by it; but as
the dye readily washes out, the garment
that was pink to-day may be made green
to-morrow, and so on. This starch is of
great use for those bright but treacher
ously colored muslins that are very cost
ly, but as their colors wash. out, contin
ually perplex their owners. If the pat
tern has been Lf reen, starch of that color
is used, and the green remains, and the
same trde of any other color. To
have the means always at hand, not on
ly of keeping colors last, but also of va
rying them day by day, must be invalu
