Equal to Mark Twain.
Newspaper writers will thoroughly ap?
preciate^ the* following o'er-true tale?
whioh we take from the Philadelphia
Dispatch: ?ip :.-*' .; V<.- ?>.*7*
"A week or two' ego, one of ohr re?
porters had occasion to refer to a certain
woman, whom we will call Hannah
Smith, as a denizen of the Eleventh
Wardr ; A day .or two afterward, a huge
man entered the office, with his brow
olothed with thunder. Itt bis band he
carried a fearful club, and at his side
trotted a bull-dog whom hunger had evi?
dently made desperate. -With that quick
appr?ciation of the situation whioh is
creditable to the superior intelligence of
cduoated men, the editor of this paper
and the proprietors darted to the win?
dow, climbed outside, slid down the
lightning-rod,?and went across the street
to watch the bloody fray through a spy?
glass. With the fearlessness of conscious
innoconoo we sat still, merely inserting
our legs in two sections of stove-pipe, to
?tuard against any misapprehension of
aots on the port of the bull-dog. The
man with the olub approached.
"Are you the editor?" he asked, spit?
ting on his hand and grasping his club.
We told him that the editor was out
that he had gone to the North pole with
Captain Hali, and that he would not re?
turn before 1876, in time for the centen?
nial celebration. '
"Are you the proprietor?" asked the*
man.
We explained to bim.that wo were not;
that the proprietors were also out; that
they had gone to South America for the
purpose, of investigating the ourativo
properties of oundurango, and they ex?
pected to remain there for several years.
"Well, whoever you ore," exclaimed
the warrior', "my name is Smith I".
Wo told him we were glad; because, if
there was one thing better than the pos?
session of the name of Smith, it was the
privilege of knowing a man by that
name. "But, Smith," we said, "why
this battle array? It is absurd for a man
to pnt on the panoply of war and frisk
into editors' sanotums, fumbling a dub
and accompanied by a disheartening
bull-dog, simply because his name hap?
pens to be Smith."
Ho said he called in to burst the head
of the man who had insulted his Bieter.
. "It is impossible, Smith, that such a
thing could have been done by any one
in this office."
"Is, but it was, though; and her name
was published, too! Miss Smith-Miss
Banner Smith I" '
"May we be permitted to inquire, Mr.
Smith, what was the preciso character of
the affront offered to Hannah?"
"Well, you see," Baid Smith, "the
blackguard said she was a denizen; and
I want you to understand," exclaimed
Smith, becoming excited, and brandish?
ing his olub in a wild manner over our
head, while the bull-dog advanced and
oommenoed to snuff up and down our
stove-pipe-"I want you to understand
that ehe ia a decent young woman, with
a good ohorooter, and none of your de?
nizens and such truck. The man who
says she is a denizen is a blackguard and
a thief, and I'll smash him over the nose
if I get a chance. They may say what
they please obont me, but the man who
abusoa my sister bas got to suffer."
And Smith struok the table in a violent
manner with his club, while the bull-dog
put his fore-legs upon the back of our
chair.
AWe pacified Smith with a dictionary.
We pointed out to that raging warrior
that the Websterian definition of the
word "denizen" gives such a person an
unoffending oharaoter and deprives the
term of everything like reproach. Smith
sa?d ho was satisfied, and he shook hands
and kioked the bull-dog down stairs.
The editor, and proprietor, seeing that
all was safe, immediately climbed the
lightning-rod and soon appeared at the
window, where they were introduced to
Smith, with the remark that they had
returned from the North pole and the
clime of the oundurango somewhat un?
expectedly, in order to surprise their re?
lations.
And now we suppose Smith will be
mad beoaase we have told this story
about him, and he wili be coming down
to interview us again, in war's magnifi?
cent stern \rray, with a fresh bull-dog.
Bat it will. 9 in vain. We have rented
an office j' the top of the shot-tower,
and have, planted torpedoes and spring
gans all the way up the Btairs. We
warn this incendiary Smith to beware
BADEN-BADEN DOOMED.-The decision
of the Reioharath has been pronounced,
aod oil the gaming tables of Qermany
must positively be closed on the lost day
of December, 1872. Weisbaden, Ems,
Homburg, and Baden, must find fresh
means of attracting the public, and of
deriving the funds necessary for their
great expenditures. Homburg alone
pays a tine to the Government of ?70,000
a year; and-tho expenses of keeping ap
the beautiful gardens that surround it
amount to on annual outlay of ?7,000,
whioh)are also paid' ont of the receipts
of tho gaming tables. It would seem, as
might be expected, that this year will be
an unusually produotive one; tho players
throng .round the tables every evening
in rows of six deep, and many have to
retire without the wished-for opportuni?
ty of staking their money. The "Salon
Dore" is crowded "every night with spec?
tators, and the ploy becomes very excit?
ing.
In declining an invitation to attend
the unveiling of the Lincoln 'statue,
in Philadelphia, Gen. Grant writes: "1
am on my way to visit relations and
friends." Why don't he Btoy at home
ond let his relations visit him? How?
ever, that would involve a neglect of too
vast amount of official business.
A simple rustic boy, trudging along
with a loaf of bread under each arm,
met the squire of the parish, who, offend?
ed at his want of obeisance, sternly
* Baid, "Boy! I think yon might tonch
your hot." "So I wool," replied the
boy, "if you'll hold ono of my loaves.!'
? A' Model for American Youth*
. Aa X X?U? uij lio?Xx tba depot to tlie '
hotel reo?nt?y, I wu attraoted by a maa*
ly yoong fellow of aboat twenty-eight,
who sat Hext me in the.stage. He waa
handsome, with a hazel eye and fresh
complexion, was well and neatly dressed,
and had especially a silver-toned voice.
I spoke to him at first, because I was at?
traoted by his modesty.
"YOB," said he, in reply to an intro?
ductory question in regard to the hotels,
(the weather being entirely beyond ar?
gument,) "it has turned ont a pretty
good oeason, I believe. I hove been
hero several BROSODB, and have seen none
better."
"You spend all your vacations here?"
"No," reflectively, "not vacations. I
usually pass the summer season hero."
. Eviuontly he was a rich young blood,
and with his good looks and modesty, an
exoellent model for the American youth.
"Stopping at the-Hotel?"
He was bowing to a sweet looking girl
just then, and did not immediately an?
swer. She was smiling back with a de?
lightful grace, showing a mouthful of !
xioh pearls. Evidently he know the good
society of tho Branch.
"No, no," he replied, when he had
ceased bowing and comprehended my
question. "No; I stop at-at-at a cot- '
tage."
Fine fellow, this, stopping at his own
cottage, and independent euongh to ride |
upon an omnibus. Ho interested mo
greatly as we went along, evidently
knowing everything abont the place.
"There's Jadge -'s cottage; hand?
some, isn't it? There's the handsomest
pair of steppers at the Branch, those
grays just turning in at the Conti?
nental."
Here he was attraotod by the repeated
bow of two gorgeous dames, who were
passing us slowly in their open carriage,
and ' ho opened two hugo months and a
couple of batteries of ready-made teeth
upon him. He bowed quite gracefully
to them, and went on with his pleasant I
descriptions. At the hotel we parted,
and I lost him; but I thought in this
wise of him: Talk of the degeneracy of I
the American youth. Look at this young I
fellow. Handsome, polished, pleasant
tempered, elegant in his manners, rich,
modest, sensible. He visits the watering
glace evidently not to suffocate in the
otels and follow the old winter city
routine of dissipation and flirtation.
He would certainly not seek them in his
: own quiet cottage. He comes for the
i more rational joys of sea air and sea
- bathing, to be, perhaps, near tho girl he
loves and hopes (and I may say deserves)
to win. Happy fellow ! True model be
for the youth of this glorious Republia!
In order to see one of tho lions, I went
over to the cottage where the tiger is let
loose, jost a step or two from the West
Eud, and as I went into the back room,
among the rattling of chips at the faro
table and the clinking of the little ball
ia the pool of the rouletto table, I heard
that eilverj-toned voice again: "Walk in
and have some supper, gentlemen-just
ready-18, red. Ah, how de do?-met
you on the stage-I remember. Have
sapper? No? Then, take a drink-21,
black. EXOUBO me-business, you know.
Charley, pass the cigars to this gentle?
man."
There he was-my model of the Ame?
rican youthl I passed out without pa?
tronizing that establishment.

USES FOB PAPEB.-One of the pro?
gressive industries of the times is the
manufacture of articles of clothing and I
housobcld use from paper. In China
and Japan paper olothing has long been
worn by the inhabitants, and so oheaply
can it be produced that a serviceable
paper coat costs only ten cents, while a
whole suit of the same material is limited
to twenty-five cents. Heretofore paper
has been worked np among oivilized na?
tions into collars, cuffs, frills, and simi?
lar minor articles, but by a recent Eng?
lish invention a really serviceable paper
fabrio bas been prepared, from whioh
table cloths, napkins, handkerchiefs,
pants, curtains, shirts, petticoats, and
other articles of dress, together with
imitation blankets and bed furniture,
lace and friuge, imitation leather, Seo.,
can be made very cheaply. The sub
Btances used in preparing thin fabric are
both vegetable and animal, and comprise
a mixture of wool, silk, flux, jute, hemp
and cotton. Reduced to a fine pulp and
bleached, and then felted by means of
machinery, the material thus obtained
produces a fabrio of wonderful flexibili?
ty and strength, which can be sowed to?
gether, and with as strong a scam and as
well as any doth. Tho articles made
from this mixture are said to bo not only
very serviceable, but to so resemblo cloth,
linen, or cotton, as to defy the closest
scrutiny.

LONG SERMONS.-It was Dean Swift,
wo think, who, upon being asked whut |
was tho proper length of time for a mi
n'Bter to deliver a sermon, replied,
"About twenty minutes, with a strong
leaning to tho side of mercy." There
are not a few people who will appreoiate
tho answer of the witty priest. Very
often the effect of a really good sermon
is destroyed by its inordinate length,
for the mind, af tor abandoning its atten?
tion to the words of the speaker for
fifteen or twenty minutes, becomes tired,
and insensibly turns to other subjects,
whioh are, perhaps, not so edifying in
their nature. An earnest sermon of
fifteen minutes length can do more good
in impressing tho necessity of Cbristain
duties npou the minds of the hearers
than the long efforts which fatigue both
minister and congregation. Many per
soas remain away from ohuroh becauso
they do not caro to liston to a discourse '
of an hour's duration.
The last rail on tho European and
North American Railway, between Ban?
gor and St. John, N. B., uniting by rail
tho United States and tho muritimo pro?
vinces of Canada, was laid a few days

HOLD ON.-Hold on to your tonguo
when yon are just ready to swear, lie,
speak harshly, or nee aa improper word.
Hold on to your hand when you are
abOat to strike, piuch, steal, or do an
improper act.
Hold on to your temper when you
are angry, excited, or imposed upon, or
others are about you.
Hold on tb your heart when evil asso
uiatos seek your company, and invite
you to join in their mirth and revelry.
Hold on to your name at all times; for
it is of more value to you than gold,
high placea, or fashionable attire.
Hold on to the truth, for it will serve
you welt, and do you good throughout
eternity.
Hold on to your virtue; it ia above all
price to you in all times and places.
Hold on to your good character; for it
is and evor will bo your host wealth.
A Scottish clergyman thonght his peo?
ple were making rather an unconscion?
able objection to using a manuscript in
delivering a sermon. They urged,
"What gars ye tak up your bit papers to
the pu'pit?" He replied that it was best,
for really he could not remember his ser?
mon, and mu?t have his paper. "Wool,
weel, minister, then dinna expect that
wo can remember them."
END OP Con INDIAN TROUBLES.-It
gives ?B pleasure to announce that our
frequent contributor, Mr. John B. Wolfe,
is about to be married to Mrs. Hannah
MoL. Shepherd, of tho Star: It is sel?
dom that a wolf and a shepherd ontcr
into such amiable relations with one an?
other. It is pleasant to think tha?, Uko
the lion and tho lamb, they will lie down
together. - Woodhull tC Cloflin's Weekly.
