fecT* A few years ago, when General N. was
making an active political canvass in the
Territory of , then on the eve of its admission
into the Union as a State (he was
then Territorial Governor), he was confronted
by an opposition which had small respect for
the amenities of debate or the conventionalities
observed in more cultivated communities.
At Sandy Gulch, where a meeting was to be
held, there appeared in the crowd opposed to
him, a rough, pestilent, desperate fellow
named M'Guire, puffy with pistols and things,
who was bent upon trouble, and meant, if
possible, to break up the proceedings. In
General N.'s following was a "gentleman"
named Taylor, equally ready for similar work,
and thoroughly devoted to his chief. At the
opening of the meeting it became evident that
M'Guire had inserted into his noble form just
enough whisky to bo reckless. He was thor
oiighly inflated. As things weut on he became
more and more offensive, until the General's
friend came up, and whispered in his
ear:
"General, hadn't I better kill him ?"
"0, no," replied the General, "that would
not do. I couldn't sanction any violence,
much less a murder; but, if any little thing
should happen (here he lowered his voice, and
spoke jocosely, as he meant it), "if any little
thing should happen, I've got my pocket full
of blank pardons."
A few minutes later M'Guire broke out
into a fresh tirade, whereupon Taylor drew
his revolver and shot him through the brain.
He fell like a log. Walking up to the body,
and standing astride of it, revolver still in
hand, he looked coolly upon the excited crowd,
and said:
"Gentlemen, I trust that now we shall have
order in this meeting."
Order was had. The General concluded
his remarks, the meeting quietly adjourned,
M'Guire's body was slung over a mule, and
taken away by his friends, who buried him
"with his boots ou," and that was the end of
it. There was some talk for a day or two;
nothing more. It wasoue of those little incidents,
you know, that will occur in frontier
life.
A Conceited Lovek.?Alfouso Bombardio
was not only one of the most celebrated
.fl J L..i. i ..i ?/
scuipiurs 01 ms uay, uui no was nisu ouc 01
the most exquisite of coxcombs. Being extensively
patronized by the Emperor Charles
V., he was admitted at court, where for a
season, he reigned supreme as a leader of
fashion and flirtation. It remained for a
young lady of Bologna to administer a fitting
puuisbment for his fulsome conceit. This
lady chauced to be Bombardio's partner at a
ball given by the Governor, and he improved
the opportunity of making love in the most
flippant manner. The lady did not even
smile. Bombardio looked languishingly upon
her, aud heaved a deep sigh. Then, pressing
his haud upon his bosom, with beseeching
gaze and with a writhing almost of torture,
he exclaimed:
"Ah ! sweet lady, if this be not true love I
feel, what can it be ?"
"Perhaps," replied the beauty, with utmost
innocence of expression, "something bites you."
The story got abroad, and from that day
Bombardio grew wise in the matter of indiscriminate
love-making.
A New Advertising Dodge.?The familiarity
of the frontiers-man with scenes of
shooting and executions by Lynch-law, aud
his coolness in the average Western affray,
are proverbial. The last instance that has
come to our knowledge in which enterprise
and self-possession were admirably mingled,
occurred at the recent execution of a criminal
in Washington Territory. Just as he was
about to be swung off, and after he had rcnifirlrofl
tr? tlio cboriff tlint lio bnd nnth in or
further to say, a real-estate agent, whose office
was in his hat, forced himself to the front
and up the steps of the scaffold, and jointly
addressing the criminal and the sheriff, said,
"If the gentleman who occupies the platform will
kindly yield for a few tniuutes, I would like
to make a few remarks upon the cheap homestead
lots at Dobson's Hole I am now offering
for sale." The polite request was assented
to, and after a brief summary of the advantages
presented by that locality, the sheriff
resumed his duties, pulled the cap over the
"gentleman's" countenance, and permitted
him to drop.
?0"" A Pittsburg firm, dealing largely in
photograph cards and stereoscopic pictures,
received a letter from a customer in an adjoining
county last week, in which was the
following singular request: "Mr. , living
here, wants a picture of his wife. She has
been dead forty-four years, was a medium
sized woman, light, sandy complexion, hair a
little on the dark, sandy color, blue eyes,
weight 140 pounds, red cheeks, and 36 years
old when she died. Inclosed find fifty cents
for the picture." This bona fide request was
complied with. A picture was selected from
the large assortment in stock as near the description
as possible aud forwarded on. Singularly
enough, it proved entirely satisfactory,
the simple minded granger expressing
much surprise at the marvelous inventions of
the nresent time, and esueciallv was he aston
idicd at the wouderful things tiiey could do
in Pittsburg.
The Whole Loaf.?A gentleman relates:
Some years since I boarded at a hotel, the
proprietor of which tvas a newly-married man.
The maiden name of his spouse was Crumb.
Immediately after marriage, and when the
hotel busiuess commenced, old lady Crumb,
her daughter Peggy, and her two sous, John
and Ike, regularly domiciled themselves within
the hospitable ways of the inu. The laudlord
was a good-natured, easy-going sort of a
fellow, not quite as smart as some folks; but
one day he got off the following: Addressing
me, he said, "Look-a-hayr, Sam, I'll tell
you just how it is; when I got married I
thought I was getting a Crumb, but I'll be
hanged if I don't believe I got the hull loaf."
A Beautiful Passage.?A very vain
preacher having delivered a ?prmnn in th?
hearing of the Rev. Robert Hall, pressed him,
with a mixture of self-complacency and indelicacy,
to state what he thought of the ser- j
mon. Mr. Hall remained silent for some
time, hoping that his silence would be rightly
interpreted; but this only caused the question J
to be pressed with greater earnestness. At i
length Mr. flail admitted, "There was one :
very fine passage." "I am rejoiced to hear |
you say so. Pray, sir, which was it?" "Why,1
sir, it was the passage Irom the puipit to tne
vestry."
Sunday Wui:k.?An old western farmer,
who was anything but religious, had hired a
devout negro, and to get some Sunday work
out of him had to resort to various specious ;
devices. One morning Sambo proved refrac-!
tory?"he would work no more on Sunday."
The master then argued with him that in a
"case of necessity" even the Scriptures allowed
a man to get out of a pit on a Sabbath
day, a beast that had fallen in. "Yes, inassa,"
rejoined the black, "but not if he spent
Saturday diggin' de pit for de berry purpose !"
"Mother, dear, you are a liar," said a
little boy the other day, when she whipped
him for being saucy. When the father came
home at night the mother told him what an
impudent son they had. "What made you
call your mother a liar, my son?" asked the
father, as he took off his coat to give his boy
a regular thrashing. "Because she was!
She said she'd skin me alive and she didn't!"
said the young philosopher. The father put
on his coat and spent the evening in thought.
Strange.?"I tell you," said a Wisconsiu
man to a neighbor next day after burying his
wife, "when I came to get into bed, and lay
thar, and not hearing Lucinda jawing around
for an hour and half, it just made me feel as
if I'd moved into a strange country."

A LESSON FOR ROYS.
"BE COURTEOUS."
Of all the Scripture commands for ordering j
our every-day life, this injunction of St. Paul j
is perhaps the one most habitually disregard- !
ed by children, both boys and girls, but espe- j!
cially boys.
" Courtesy, politeness?pooh !" I have heard j
even bright-looking, well-dressed boys say, :'
"they are well enough for girls ; but a boy.
that isu't a Miss Nancy, has got to be rough." ;
That's just where you're mistaken, boys. I
Your great ambition, from the time you put '
on your first jacket aud trowsers, and take a
walk with papa instead of mamma or nurse, |:
is to be a "big man." But men, at least well- !'
bred men, are not rough and rude in their j
manners. They behave politely to each 1
other and to everybody ; and the sooner you I
betrin to do so. the sooner you will take one
long stride toward being manly.
You would be very angry, even now, at '
teu or twelve years of age, if any one told you j1
you were "no geutlemau." But did you ever !
observe the literal meaning of that word?a j,
gCntle-m&u ? Then why do you think it is !
only intended for girls to be "gentle?"
As for "Miss Nancy-ism," I suppose that,
is a boy's word for cowardice. But do you j
remember the account St. Paul gives of all he |'
suffered in defense of the truth ? You would j'
think a boy a perfect hero if he took one !
severe whipping without flinching, in defense 11
of what he believed to be right; but that noble .
martyr endured every kind of terrible suffer- !
ing, submitted to be scourged, stoned, impris- }
oued, and finally put to a violent death, rather
than yield the truth he had pledged himself to
uphold. You would scarcely think him lacking
in courage and manliness, and yet, boys,
it was he who said, ,lBc Courteous."
"Thank you," and "If you please," are
much easier words to say than "Shall," and
"Sha'n't," "I don't care," and "You're another,"
if boys would only believe it.
But I started to tell you a story of how a
little boy I knew once missed something which
he wanted very much just by his lack of politeness.
It was little Jack Farley, the son of a friend '
of mine, and I was at her house one day when
Jack was begging for the promise of a new
sled at Christmas. But his mother was firm
in her refusal. "You remember well, Jack,"
said she, "what I told you last winter, when :
you were so careless about leaving your sled
?Mit /\P /in/ire ill nil unt'tc nf iVAntlwr llint. it
would be worthless this winter, and that I :
should not get you another. But you gave (
no attention, and now you must take the consequences.
You must get along with the old !
oue, unless you earn a new one for yourself in
some way."
"And so I would if I only knew any way," '
said Jack, "but what can a fellow do? It J
would take all winter to get enough by
shovelling snow, and then a fellow wouldn't
want a sled."
' Don't say "a fellow" so much, said his
mother; but she had nothing to suggest, and I
heard no more about Jack's sled at that time. .
A few weeks after, I happened to be looking
out some Christmas gifts for little brighteyed
nieces and nephews of mine, in Mr. 1
Handy's great toy store, when Jack Farley 5
elrinnincr hv. Tfo had a hriaht blue 1
~ rt?o ~Ja' ?- "7- ? ?o # ,
ribband round his neck, with a large silver
medal hanging from it, and his face was '.
flushed and his eyes shining with great delight.
The charm of the broad windows, ,
stocked with all mauner of beautiful and
wouderful toys, caught his attention, and _
he stopped a moment to take a hasty glance. '
Mr Handy, who stood near the door, no- !
ticed the bright, joyous faces, and the medal 1
with its gay ribband. "Halloo, my fine fel- 1
low," he said merrily, "what sort of a grand .
decoration have you got on ? What's that a .
reward for?"
"For being head of my class, of course," .
said Jack, without even looking at the geutleman
who took such good-humored notice of
him.
"Well, that's a good hearing," said Mr. j
Haudy, even more kindly than before. "I .
like to see boys with medals to show that
they are at the head of their class. It proves .
there's good stuff in them. Here, I'd like to
give some thing to the boy that gets the mod- |
al when he's no bigger than you. Take this, \
my fine fellow," holding out a new twenty- ,
five cent stamp as he spoke; but though
Jack's eyes sparkled at the sight, he did not
touch it. \
"1 don't want any of your money," he said j
rudely, and turning off, with never a thought
ol a "tliauK you,'" ran notne.
"Well, sir, whatever you got the medal for,
it was not for good manners," said Mr. Handy,
quite mortified, as he put the money 1
back into his pocket. Then turning to me, r
he said, '
"Did you ever see such a young cub, '
ma'am ? If he was too proud to take a bit f
of change from a man old enough to be his 1
grandfather, at least he might have refused it -1
politely. Boys didn't behave so in my young ^
days." '
"I know his mother," I said, "and I know 1
she is very particular about their not asking j
for money. I suppose Jack thought she would 1
not like to have him accept any from a
stranger; but as you say, he ought to have i
been respectful." 1
"Well, he's cut himself out of my good 1
graces," said the old gentleraau. "I had ta- '
ken a great fancy to that boy; he goes past '
here twice a day to and from school, and al- 1
ways looks so bright and smart I thought J
there was good stuff in him. We're always 5
so busy before Christmas, I have to employ ^
a good deal o' extra help. I meant to ask 1
him to come in and give us a little of his (
smartuess on Chistraas eve ; I thought he'd 1
like the fun of selling toys for a while, and 1
then I meant to give him the choice of all
the sleds in the shop. But he's a little too 1

such a rude chap to wait oil my lady custo- ]
mers." 1
Poor Jack ! A new sled?the very thing 1
his heart craved. But he lost it just for want '
of a little common politeness. I
Iioyc, boliovc mo t Wkila it u a poor motive
to do what la right only because it pays,
yet for that reason, among many higher and (
nobler ones, it will| be well for you to re- 1
member St. Paul's charge, "Be courteous." 1

"I Can Nkyeii Bf. a Drunkard."?In our t
youth we had a very dear friend who often
used this expression. He was a proud boy, and i
a prouder man. He was fond of what the
world calls pleasure, and finally ran into the
vortex that leads to ruin. Social in his nature,
he was often tempted at parties to take .
wine, and berated his friends who refused
when he accepted. And when in his calm
moments, these very friends would warn him
of his clangor, he would reply, "I can never |
: be a drunkard."
The habit grew upon him, aud after awhile |
ho commenced taking his dram regularly, j
Ashamed of his habit, and fearful that his j
; friends would discover it, he used cloves j
! and other articles to destroy the siuell of his
breath. Often remonstrated with by his
I watchful friends, he would deny that he had
(gone to excess.
j The writer removed to Texas, aud return-1
ing to his old home, where his friends lived, j
about seventeen years afterward, the first |
time he saw him he was down on the sidewalk
drunk, aud a year afterward he was}
i found dead in the same street.
Young men, beware! There is not one in
ten thousand that can always be moderate in
driuking. If you touch it at all, you are in
danger. The ingenuity of man lias truly i
given you the means of destroying the smell
of liquor upon the breath, but not of saving j
you from a drunkard's fate.

thee to mend one fault in thyself than to find
out a thousand in others.

conversion of an infidel.
About three years ago the writer had charge j:
of a church in the city of Richmond, Virgin-1 J
ia. Not far from the church lived a gentle- i,
man who, by ecouony and industry, had be- j
come the owner of a neat cottage, in which '
his wife and two interesting children lived ;
very comfortably. ;
]>y the influence of Paine's Age of Reason j
and the counsel of wicked associates, he be- \ 01
came a confirmed skeptic. For years he was jt!(
not seen in a place of worship. To him the ;tc
Sabbath was no more than any other day, and 1
the Bible no more than any other history. !C(
One morning, in passing along the street j el
on which he lived, a friend accosted me and j b
mentioned that he was in a very low state of j 11
health, snfieriim acutely from dronsv. without 1>;
any prospect of recovery, ami asked me to j c<
call and see him. 111'
The aversion of this poor man to religion !
was so great that no minister had been near | r<
him, and scarcely had his most intimate ,C(
friend dared to hroach the subject to him. |1,1
Ilis devoted wife, a God-fearing woman, I
though she saw that her husband was rapidly i
jinking to the grave, feared to speak to him i
about his soul. Knowing all this, I hesitated | c<
... ! w
for awhile as to paying him a visit, but con- |
science urged me to go. j
On entering his room I found him sitting ; ftj
by the fire breathing very hard and in much ! J;
pain. When he got a little easier, I said I
kindly to him that my visit was prompted i w
purely by the interest I felt in his welfare.,1
I remarked that I came as a stranger without j s:
his requesting it, but I hoped he would con- j,s:
aider me a true friend, and begged him to re-1 P
member that we could not change our rela- j 11
tion to any great truth by refusing seriously i
to consider it. lie assented. My visit was ,l!
short. When leaving this sad and weary j
invalid, I again assured him of the deep in- j
terest I felt in his welfare, especially the wcl- \ *0
fare of his soul. I reminded him that I had j P
known prayer to be of much service to thous- i ^
amis, that I had realized its benefits myself, j 11
that I never knew any one to regret having i Ci
prayed, but many to deplore their neglect to I
do so. and added. "I besr vou, my friend, ^
look to God in prayer." When leaving, ho j1,1
said, rather coldly, "Call again." j
After a short interval I did so. During j 11
this visit I talked to liiiu more freely on the ! 01
subject of religion. I discussed no abstract I ^
doctrines with him, but as tenderly and af- I ni
fectionately as I could, pointed him to Jesus ;
is the sinner's Friend and Saviour. I warned J
him against any book or person that would \ s:
speak lightly of Jesns, adding, "He who would j ^
disparage Christ iu your estimation is your
worst enemy." I said this because his infidel 11
Friends were visiting him and trying as hard ?(
io bolster him up in bis infidelity, as I was to 11
ave him from it. u'
This visit was far more satisfactory than ?'
die former; my sick friend was more reccp- ^
dve of the truth, which seemed now gradually tr
listening itself on his mind. As I was about
;o leave he asked me to pray for him. This C(
equest astonished his wife no less than my- e:
self. I had actually been afraid to ask his s'
lermission to do what he himself now request- 1,1

i tear-dimmed eye, and his wife with a lighter
leart, promising to come again. n(
The day after my second visit, while scaled ul
iy the lire, he said to his wife: "M , where ^
ire my infidel books?" She told him. "Go," m
iaid he, "bring them to me." She put them
11 his hands, and he deliberately threw them hi
11 the fire, saying as he did it, "There ; I am sc
lone with all this nonsense now." al
Learning that he had done this, and that b;
le refused to hear any more foolish talk from ai
lis infidel companions, I felt that my sick st
riend was "not far from the kingdom of sc
3od." sn
So it proved. lie now became humble as w
i little child, and an eager learner of the way cl
if salvation. Light beamed 011 his mind, and b<
lis heart was melted into tenderness before 01
3od. > ui
A few days after the burning of his books of
ie obtained peace with God through faith in sn
Jesus, and at his request 1 baptized him and n<
id ministered to him the communion. He
ived several months after his conversion, and ai
inally met death calmly trusting in Jesus. m

jood even in the face of the greatest discour- at

THE COOKING ST(IVES manufactured at our
works in Greensboro, N. (\, give universal
atisi'aotion wherever introduced. They aremade
>f the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heavier
and thicker nlate than auv other Stove in the
market, and consequently will the longer withstand
heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neatlinish, and warranted equal
in ev ery other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States, while it is conlidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
tvith purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
<i/.es are never changed. Should a piece get accidentally
broken at any time, we can replace it at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is a home production, buton accountofits intrinsic
merits as an article of household economy, do
ive ask the patronage of home purchasers. More
than ONE THOUSAND of these Stoves are now
in use, and among many others having them wo
