S. 'D. M.-1812. Marietta, July 4, 1864. The Two Deaf Ladies I had an aunt who purposed visiting Me for the Gist time since my marriage, and I don't know what evil genius prompted the wickedness which I per petrated towards my wife and ancient relative. "My dear," said Ito my wife the day before toy aunt's arrival, "you know aunt Mary is corntng here to-morrow. Well, I have forgotten to mention a rather annoying circumstance in regard to her. She is very deaf, and, although ehe can hear my voice, to which she is accustomed, in its ordinary tone, yet you wilt be obliged to speak very loud in or der to be heard. It will be rather in convenient at first, hut I know you will do everything that in your power to make her stay agreeable." 1 then went to John Thornton: who loves a joke as well as any person that I know, told him to be at my house by six o'clock on the following evening, and I then felt comparatively happy. I went to the railroad depot with a carriage the next night, and when on my way bonne with my aunt, I said— "My dear aunt, there is one rather annoying infirmity that Anna (my wife) has, which I forgot to mention before. She is very deaf; and though she can hear my voice, to which she is accus tomed, in its ordinary tones, yet you will be obliged to speak extremely loud to her in order to be heard. I am very sorry that she is so." Aunt Mary, in the extreme goodness of her heart, protested that she rather liked speaking loud, and that to do so would give her great pleasure. I hand ed out my aunt, and she ascended the steps, "I am delighted to see you," shrieked . my wife, who met us at the door. The policeman on the opposite side of the street was startled, and my aunt nearly tumbled down the steps. "Kiss me, my dear," howled my aunt, and the hall lamp clattered, and the windows shook as with fever and ague. I looked at the, window, but John Thornton had disappeared. Human na ture could stand it no longer. I poked my head into the carriage, and went in to strong convulsions of laughter. When I went into the parlor my wife wag helping aunt Mary to take' off her bonnet rlnd mantilla ; and theresat "'oho, with his long face of woe. 1 I "Did you have a pleasant Xi' tf,y?" suddenly went off my wife lika 1 , 7 1t0l and John ti 4 e,arly jumped "Bather cll-4--- -- • a warwhr r~ ThP in thisstraiu. The neighbors for squares around must have heard it, for when I was in the third story I beard every word. • In the course of the evening my aunt took occasion to say to me— " How loud your wife speaks. Don't it hurt her V' • I told her that all deaf persons spoke loud, and that my wife, being used to it, was not affected by the exertion, and that they were getting along finely. Presently my wife said, softly— ",-I.lfred, how loud your aunt talke." "Yes," said .1, "all deal peopl.• do. Yoit get along well together. She hears every word you say." And I rather think she did Elated by their success at being under- stood, they went at it like hammer and tongs, till everything on the mantelpiece fairly clattered, and I wits seriously a• traid of a crowd collecting in front of my house. But the and was near. My aunt, being of an investigating turn of mind, was de sirous of finding out whether the exer tion of talking so loud was not injurious to my wife. "Doesn't talking so loud.strain your lungs?" said she, in an unearthly hoot, for her voice was not as musical as it was when she was young. "It is an exertion," shrieked my wife. "'l'hen why do you do it 7" was the an. sw ering scream. "Beca.iise—because—you can't hear me if I den'." squalled my wife. "What?" My aunt fairly rivalled a railroad whistle this time. I began to think of evacuating the premises, and looking around and seeing that John was gone, I stepped into the next room, and there he lay, flat on his back, rolling from side to side,- with his fists poked - Mtn his ribs, and a most ag onizing expression of countenance, but not uttering a sound, Immediately and involuntarily I assumed a similar atti tude, and I think, from the . relative .po sition of our feet and heads, and our attempt to restrain our laughter, apo plexy must inevitably have ensued if a horrible groan, in which John gave vent in his endeavor to suppress his ris ibility, had not betrayed our hiding place. In rushed my wife and aunt, who by this time comprehended the joke; and such a scolding as I got then I never got before, and I hope never to get again. I know not what the end might have been if John, in his endeavors to appear respectful and sympathetic, had not given 'vent to such a diabolical noise, something between a groan and a horse laugh, that all gravity . was upset, and we all screamed in concert. GEN WASHINOTuN'S 13LMSING: During r i celebration which occurred in New York City, during the life of Washing. ton, the General was present, and a Scotch nurse who had the care of a lit le boy, was observed to eagerly lift him up, that be might look upon 'the Father of his Country, She was not satisfied with this, however, and the next day while out walking with the child, she saw the General in a store, and darting in she exclaimed, " Please your Excel lency, here's a bairn that's called after ye." Washington turned his benevo lent face full upon the lad, smiled, laid his hand upon the boy's head and gave his blessing. In after years the boy, then a distinguished man, used to say "I have reason to believe that blessing hae attended me through life, I was but five years old, yet I can feel that hand oven now." The boy was Wash ington Irving, o whom, perhaps, as a fruit of that blessing. we are indebted for the best biography of Washington. CLEANING GARYETS.—Take a pail of cold water, and add to it three gills of oxgall. Rub it into the carpet with a soft brush. It will raise a lather ; which must be washed off with clear cold water. Rub dry with a clean cloth. In nailing down a carpet after the floor has been washed, be certain that the floor is. quite dry, or the nail will rust and injure the carpet. Fullers' earth is used for clean ing carpets, and weak solutions of alum or soda are used for reviving the colors. The crumb of a hot wheaten loaf rubbed over a carpet has been found effective. A few days since, a &tuner called on a young gentlemati and presented him a bill, when he wiai t emawhal taken aback - , .• . by they gent taking him aside-and bland my' g : "31,. deafilii; call nerzitlitire= irey, a d 11l tell y0u4,4416 Caillgaiii:" . . "Ma, Whereaboutn,elkalo find the ~, .. 1 tritnony 2" and that to be one of the . . . ,s," was the answer. Odds and Ends. A COPPERHEAD WELL ANSWERED.--In the cars, the other day,between. Balti more and Washington, a discussion sprang up, as to the propri&ty of allow ing negroes to vote. One otthe copper head participants, thinking to lake a plain case by the argumentum and horn inum, said to his Republican antagonist: "What would you think if, at the' next election, you were to go to the poll and cast a vote for George B. McClellan, and a big, black nigger were to collie alongside of you and cast one for 40 Lincoln? The Republican reflected e little and replied : "Well, I'd think the t , nigger had a d—n eight more sensor' than I had." Bill S— is a good accountant, but like all men, will sometimes make mis takes, and in one of his bills figured up that "8 times 8 are 88." The debtor was not slow in discovering the mistake and demanded an explanation. Bill ex amined the account and saw that he was 'down' but did not like to admit; so, putting on a bold face, he said—" That's all right.". "How so?" was the inquiry. "It's all owing to the intimation of the currency," said "the multipli cation table, like everything else, has gone up I" On returning home after his duel with young O'Connell. Lord Alvanley gave a guinea to the hackney coachman who had driven him out and brought him back. The man, surprised at the large ness of the sum, said, 'My Lord, I only took you . "My friend," interrupted Alvanle y "the guinea is for bringing me back— not for taking me out." "My dear, why is your neck bandkei=- chief like the real estate' your lathe* has ?" • I'Bon't know, duck." Because, love, it is a good proper tie," (property.) ' A bystander thought he distinguished something like a kiss after the dialogue ended. A conceited coxcomb, with a very patronizing air, called out, to as Irish laborer, 'Here, you bog trotter f come and tell me the greatest lie you can, and I will treat you to a glass of Irish whis key." "By my word," says Pat, "an yer Hon or's a gentleman." "Would you be willing to undertake the management (Amy properly for your victuals and clothes ?" said Girard to a gentleman who was congratulating Win on Lis vast possessions. "No," was the reply. "Well, that's all I get," said the mil lionaire: A lady was passing along the street,, when she was met by a young man, who in passing, stepped on her dress. Turn ing to the lady, he remarked "Hoops take up too much room." To which the lady quickly replied; "Net so much as whiskey, sir," and passed on. A❑ Irishman was directed by a lady of large size to secure and pay for two seats iu a stage, as she wanted comfort able room in riding, the fellow returned and said, "I've paid for the two seats ye told me to, but as I couldn't get but one seat for the inside, I took t'other for the outside." "Tom," said an acquaintance of his who met him oithe Winne House steps last evening, "Tom : who did you say our friend B. married? "Well, he married—forty thousand dollars! I forget the other name." An lowa editor has fallen heir to an estate worth one and a half millions. Of course , he'll rtitire. Just fancy a man worth that sum writing a puff of a pat-, ent clothes pin, or of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.

LONG SERMONS.—Very long sermons, especially in the dog-days, are rarely de livered nnw by the clergy. In old times a short sermon would have disappointed a congregation sadly. Brown, au Eng lish humorist of William lll's reign, says : "In the late civil ware, Stephen Marshall split his text into twenty-four parts. Upon this, one of his congrega tion immediately run out of church. .Why, what's the matter?' says a neigh bor. 'Only going for my night gown and slippers, for I find we must take up our quarters here to-night." A KIND WORD POR "MOTIIER."-De spise not thy mother when she is old. Age may wear and waste a mother's beauty; but her relation as mother is as the sun when it goes forth in its might, for it is always in the meridian, and knoweth no evening. The person may be'gray headed, but her motherly rela tion is ever in its flourish. It may be autumn, yea, winter, with a woman, but with the mother, as a mother, it is al ways spring. FOR BOSOMS AND COLLARS.—Ponr pint of boiling water upon two ounces orgurn arabic, cover it, and let it stand over. night; in the morning pour it care fullyifrom the dregs into a clean bottle, corklit, and keep it for future use. A tablespoonful of this gum arabic water, stirretinto a pint of starch in the usual wanner; will give to lawns, either white or printed, a look of newness, which nothing else can restore them to after they have been washed. Cr It takes allikankne to get out of a scrape with flying colors,'as the following conversation shows : "Shan't I see you hum from singin' school to-night, Jerushy?" "No, you shan't do no such thing. I don't wan't you nor your company, Reu ben." "Perhaps you didn't hear what I said r continued Reuben. "Yea I did—you asked if yon alight see rue home." "Why, no, I didn't. I only asked you bow your marm was." gar "Is a man and his wife both one?" asked the wife of a certain gentleman, in a state of stupefaction, as she was bolding his aching head in both hands. !‘Yes, I stippo . se so," was the reply. °Well, then," she said, "I came home drunk last night, and ought to be asham ed of myself." This back handed re buke from a long suffering and loving wife effectually cured him of his drink ing propensities. car" Helen," said a landlady to ber servant, "was there any fire in the kitchen last night when you were sitting up ?" "Yes ma'am," said Helen, "there was a spdrk there when I went down, and . I -soon fanned it into aflame." The landlady looked suspiciously at Helen, but the innocent girl went on scrubbing and humming "Katy Darling." ar Talking of human happiness, Trump says the condithins necessary to man's felicity are as yet undetermined ; but be adds that the essentials to a young woman's happiness have been as certained, and are only three in number, namely : a little beauty, plenty of good clothes, and lots of male facilities I ar A little daughter of a proprietor of a coal mine in Pennsylvania was in quisitive as to the nature of hell, upon which her father represented it to be large gulf of fire, of the most prodigious extent. "Pa," said she, "couldn't you get the devil to buy coal of you." eir Two Quaker girls were ironing at the same table. One asked the other which side she would take, the right or the left.
