Ess and Esses.?"So you have finish? ed your Studies at the seminary ? I was muoh pleased with the closing exercises. The author of that poem?Miss White, I Chink, yon called her?bids fair to be? come known as a poet." "We think the authoress will become celebrated, as a poetess," remarked the young lady, pertly, with a marked em? phasis on two words of the sentence. "Oh?ah I" replied the old gentleman, looking thoughtfully over his gold spec taoleB at tho young lady. "I bear his sister was quite au actress, aod under Miss Hosmer's instruction, will undoubt? edly become quite a Boulptoreas." The young lady appeared irritated. "The semi nary," continued the"1 old gentleman, with imperturbable gravity, "is fortunate in having an efficient board of manageresses. * From the pre sideotess down to the humblest teaoher ess, unusual talent is shown. Thoro is Miss Harper, who is a chemistress, is unequaled, and Mrs. Knowlc-s has al? ready a reputation as an ?stronomeress. And in the department of music, few oan equal Miss Kellogg as a siugercss." -Tbe youug lady did not appear to like the chair she was sitting in. She took the sofa at the other end of the room. "Yes,*" oontinned tho old gentleman, as if talking to himself, "those White sisters are very talented. Mary, I under? stand, has turned her attention to paint? ing and the drama, and will surely be? come famous as an actress and painteress, and even as a lecture V A loud alamming of tho door caused the old gentleman to look up, and the I oritioess and grammarian ess was gone! Example.?That hatchet story, In whioh Washington and a cherry tree figured so UrgaffSfa doing uo good, and , it ought to bs suppressed by all means. A little boy oat West, inspired by tlx I example of virtue rewarded to be found I in that popular anecdote, proonred hatobet and went about chopping fence rails, garden gates, pigs* backs and horses" legs, with a perseverance that I showed how deeply the lesson bad aunl into bis soul, and with a fervor that bad something of love in it. One day, ho lohopped the tires out of a wheel belong? ing to bis father's carriage, and when tin old gentleman came homo and saw the ruin that had been made, he grew angry, and demanded who had accomplished it. Young hopeful, bursting with u desire to tell tbe tratb, told his father that ho bad ! done it with his little hatchet; where? upon tbe irato parent, who had proba? bly not read tbe story in question, in? stead of saying: "Come to my arms; I bad rather lose twenty carriuga wheels than have a son of mine tell a lie," jcaughtbim by tho collar and trounced bim soundly. Tho result was, that as soon bb tho boy was released, ho made au attack ou bis father's legs with his hatchet, and tbo latter is in the hospital and the former is in jail.?Boston Olube. How She Succeeded.?A St. Louis lady, whoso foot had been pressed in a street cur by a gentleman, thought she would make an example of bim. She returned tbe pressure, looked languish? ing and all that sort of thing, aud when , she uligbted, tacitly iuvited him to fol? low. Arriving at her homo, she invited him in, and he, ncoopting, was brought faoe to face with her htubaud. She re? quested the latter gentleman to "wade into" the former, aud detailed the oir uumstances of the affair. Tho husband politely dismissed tbo gout with the pressing foot, and then turned about and beat his wife for inviting such fami? liarities. A young lady teacher at one of our mission Sunday Schools recently nar? rated the crucifixion to her class of little boys, and when Mho thought abo hud fairly engaged their minds, was sur? prised with, "Bet they wouldn't a done it if Buffalo Bill'd been there!" An enamored Philadelphian has been oonvicted of potty larceny for abstracting his adored ouo's carle tie visile from her photograph album; the judge 'deciding that to steal a "carte" was as bad as to steal a horse. Bt^^ai^jr&^tA^?'/Sl3 V^Llif0^!?! ff AlIoeLt r^s remarkable tough yara in a Ute letter: There's o school marm down East who bat a phantom sobolar, you've all heard ?bout. Bat ? Soathero lady was in this city, last week who has a spirit baby. Foa> months ago, she lost a ohild of five ] month*. She is a delicate, fragile orea tnro, and the lose of her baby nearly killed Ben,, Four days after the little creature's death, and jast at dusk, she became aware, of something palling at her dress, and there was her little baby back upon h*r bosom. From that time to this, the baby comes back to bo nursed I as tho evening shadows fall. She oannot I see it, but she feels its little hands pad? dling about, as a baby's will, and those around her can see her dress disarranged, her collar pulled, and the indentations on her bosom made by the invisible fingers Of the spirit baby. Her physi? cian is Btaggered. There is no alteration in her physical condition; everything goes on as if she was nourishing a living ohild. _ The lady is not a spiritualist, is excessively refined and aristocratic, aud she shrinks from having the phenome? non mode public, but every night Bhe | cradles in her arms her intangible baby. She feels its unseen mouth warm against I her, and she bends with bitter tears' above the invisible little visitant. It is not a desirable possession, and I should advise her to wean it as soon as possible. There Is just now a tremendous hue and Cry against the gallows as a means of helping murderers out of the world. The Minneapolis Tribune is in favor of its abolishment, bt cause it is an unsightly and offensive wny of inflicting the death penalty, and proposes that poison or something else equally quiet be eubsti tuted for asphyxia, and that every State have a Surgeon-General to supervise the taking of life according to law, who shall prescribe the sort of poison that will be the least painfal and the most effective, and the beet method of administering it. It is not certain, says the editor, but electricity would be quicker aud bettor, Hogs are now killed iu Oinoinnati with a patent battery. If the Sheriff could wulk gently around behind the prisoner, quietly apply the end of the deadly wire, and drop him to the earth, like a pigeon deftly shot on wing, it would seem a little more in accordance with civilization. . Personal ?General J. B. Gordon and his accomplished lady were in Charlotte on Wednesday. The gallant hero of scores of hard fought fields was looking remarkably well, notwithstanding his numerous wounds. The General bad a way of getting bit in many of the battles he was io, and after one or two casualties of that kind, Mrs. G. resolved to stay with him to nurse him. To her loving oaro, hu is doubtless indebted for getting safely through somo of hie worst wounds. Mrs. G. was almost as well known by the soldiers as her intrepid husband. Many still living will remember bur attempt to rally the disorganized fragment of troopB iu Early'* great disaster in the Valley. General E.

The Mayor of LaFayette, Ind., so striotly construed a recently enacted Sanday law that he not only caused the arrest of a miscellaneous assortment of editors, compositors, milkmen and rail? way operatives, bat prevented all sex? tons from ringing their ohuroh bells Tbe question is how he reconciled it with his conscience to make the police violate the Sabbath to saoh an extent; and to this the obvious reply is, that the seventh day is especially set apart as a day of 'rrest. The young vornan of the day is a trump.
