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. [Long Branch Cor. N. Y. Herald. 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. . -?-i 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 ago. -p-1-:-r-.-j-vt 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. Tho woman who dared belongs to Mi neupolis.
