iv'.:,,:,' . otu, un I .:.;uu I there is aa universal patting upof stoves preparatory to the winter campaign, aaa Mtfqiifit?Mya great deal of profanity-ia indalgedin. One who hos considerable expononce in tho work ol putting up stovoa, aaya tho ?rat atop to be taken is ?uuot vu? luapieoBiuu that wnen he gets his month full of plaster, it will keep bia shirt bosom bless. Neat, ho gets his bands inside tho. PJAQO whore the pipe on cht to go* and blacks his nog?rs, end theo he cnrofully makes a black mark dowh oho sido of his nose. It is impos eible>to>?amktf?ny headway in doing this work/uptyl hU mark is raado down the side-of tho, npso.. Haying got his faco properly marketa, tho victim is ready to begin titi* cerom?oy? Tho bead of th? fanrilj-T?h'? ia-tho big goose of the 8a orifioe-grasps pne Aide of tho bottom of ,tho Store, apd.bis wife and the hired girl takes'ubio?-ox the Other side, in thin way, tlf?ioaiS i? started from tho wood 1 shod tb ward tho parlor. Going through tho door, tho; bead of tho family will carefully swing: ?his side of tho stove around and jamb his thumb-nail ugninst the door. This part of tho ceremony is never'omitted. Having got tho stove comfortably in placo, tho next thing is to find Jthe. legs. . Two of these aro left inside the stove, since tho spring before. Tho other two must bo hunted after for twonfcy-flvo minutes. They aro usually found under>tho ooah Then, the head Of tho family holds up one side of the stove while bis wife puts two of tho logs in placo, nnd next he holds ;ip the other side while th? two Are fixed, and ono of the first two falls out. Hythe time the .-stove is on its legs, he gets reckless, and takes off lija old coat, regardless of his linen. Th?n, he gdes Off for tho pipe and gels a Cinder in his eye. It don't make any difference how well the pipe waa put last year, it will bo found a little too shotf or a little too long. The head of tho family jams bis hat over his eyes, and taking a pipe under each arm, goes to the t?ri-ahop to have it fixed. When he gp ts back, be steps upon one of the best parlor chairs to see if the pipe fits, and bia wife snakes hipa get down, for fear he will scratch the varnish off from the hairs with the nails in his boot-heel. IQ getting down, he will surely step on the cat, and may thank bis stars if it is not tho baby! Then he gets an old chair and climbs to the chimney again, to find that in cutting the pipe off, the end has been left too big for the bole in the oh i in - ney. So he goes to the wood-shed and splits one side of tho end of thc pipe with an old axe, and squeezes it in his hands to make it smaller. Finally, he gets tho pipe in shape and finds that the stove does not stand true. Then, him? self and wife and the hired girl move the stove tb tue left, and the legs fall out again. Next, it is to move to tho right. More difficulty with legs. Moved to the front a little. Elbow not even with tho bole,ia the chimney, and he goes to tho wood-shed after some little blooks. While putting the blooks under tho legs, the pipe conies out of the chimney. That remedied, the elbow keeps tipping over, to tKo. great alarm of his wife. Head of ,the family gets the dinner-table out, puts ? ino olq chair on it, gets bis wife to hold toe-cnofr, and balances himself on it to or^fe?9me nails into the ceiling. Drops iqe-jbatnmer onto his wife's head. At last, gota the nail driven, makes a wire awing to hold the pipe, hammers a little hero, pulls a little there, takes a long breath* and announces the ceremony completed. Job never put up any stoves. It would have rained his reputation if he had. MARK TWAIN. . THE IDLE MAH.-The idle man Is an annoyance--a nuisance. He is an in? truder in the busy thoroughfare of every day lifo. He stands in our path and we inuot push him contemptuously aside. Ho ia no advantage to any one. He annoys busy'men. He makes them un? happy. He is a cipher in BOC ie ty. He may bave an income to support him in idleness, or ho may sponge on his good natured friends. But in every caso be ia despised. Young men, form habits of industry; do something in this busy, w?de-aw?k?'W?rld. Move about-for the benefit of mankind, if not for yourself. Do pot be idle. God's law Ls that by tho sweat of our brow we shall earn oar bread. This is a good one, and the bread ia sweet. Do not be idle. ' 'Min? utes aro-loo precious to be squandered thoughtleuflly. NEWSPAPERS AND BOOK PUBLISHERS' TAX.-In regard to the tax of publishers of newspapers, books, periodicals, Aa, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue bolds that under tho latest acts of Con? gress, publishers of books and publish? ers of newspapers, who furnish the manuscripts or matter to bo printed or published, who control tho publication and receive the profits derived from tho sale of the books or papers, thongh they employ other persons to print, bind, &c., are liable to make retnrns quarterly of the amount of their sales, and to pay a tax of $2 per Si,OOO on the excess above $250. Orqers have boen given to enforce this construction of tho law hereafter. We regret, says the Greensboro Patriot, to learn that the valuable mills, known as the old Foulk's Mills, ten miles North of Greensboro, woro destroyed by fire on Tuesday night last. This is a heavy loss, both upon the community and Mr. Jas. Foulks, who had jost put the mill in the very best repair. There were several hundred bushels of grain stored iu the mill. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. At Poughkeepsie, Peter Fordon waa horribly scaled , at the fur naco while lying under an arch. The engineer, pot knowing bews? there, opened a blow-off cook. The flesh was literally stripped from him. He died after a few boars agony. *T have w Bebtet-, 'teattamst i tart" bard .rork." j This. is. a secret tha? wapy nejver dc^??arn^?^<L*bor^ tho genius that changes tho world from ugliness tb bcRU ty," ?ria the greatest ? curso to a 'great blessing. ?:'-o '?/?.' >. OGood news conies from the Fejee lu? la nda. The negro gentlemen, in Imbi ti ug that locality have entirely abandoned eating white men, giving as tho reason that their flesh is so flavored with tobao oo and bad rum, as to render it un plea nant. The Ft*j0e cuisine is, however, Still popular. Another destructive conflagration oc? curred at Council . Blufls, "Saturday, wbioh caused tho total, destruction of ?' oven stores. It was the most destrnc Ive fire tho city had experienced for a long time. John Sbortfiute, gontleman, writes to the London Times complaining that the Heralds' College won't change his name to Brown. Ho says Ins sons are tensed by their schoolmates, and nobody will marry his daughters, fu The meanest man has been fouud in [Michigan. A laborer was buried by the caving in of a well on his premiaos, and he objected to any attempt at rese?o ou account of the expense for a man who was dead. The professors of the Columbia Law College decline to admit ladies as stu? dents, ou tho ground that their presence would distract tho attention of both pupils and professors. A woman in Sheboygan County, Wis., recently cut her throat, and with thc blood spurting from it, rushed to thc bedside of her invalid husband, and bade him good-bye. On Wednesday afternoon of last week, two children of Harrison Oerber, York County, Pa-, were burned so that one died tho samo night, and on Saturday last, the other was not expected to live. One late issue of the London Tintet contained 12,000 advertisements, from a; tunny diff?rent persons, showing that UH English appreciate the worth of thc newspaper as an advertising medium.
