He came in at the door after a gentle mock brought no 'iavitation, and stood inder the mellow light of the argand burler. He said, "Good erening, Msjah," md paused on the brink of the conversational Rubicon. He was the typical "Jour. Printer." He was the representative of i class soon to become extinct?a nomadic -eminiscence, soon to be embalmed in history and printing office tradition. 'His ihabby coat was buttoned close to his jriatling chin, a paper collar of Stanly jattern eked out a shirt of doubtful texure; his cap glistened with accumulated lirt and the friction of time, and a pair >f "quisiers" dangled languidly in the re. - ? ? tt l.jl poo or bis cardiac apparatus. ue nau rorktd on ths Enquirtr twenty years ago; is had published papers in every town ind hamlet in the Sooth and West, and 'struck type"'in every office in the coun. ry. He had met with misfortune and res here sick and friendless. Cooli we w Mist him ? There wm no response. Then te talked of his connection with the "Lost Jauae" and expatiated on the glorious access of the Ohio l>emoeraey. This wrought a contribution, but it was only a [uarter. He walked to the door, and, [rawing himself up with the dramatic air f Robert Macaire, said, "Your Ohio Da* aocracy it a d?d fraud- I will erosa the iver to Kentucky, where gentleaMO live, 'm sorry I evsr put my foot in your d?d Itate." We assnred him that we woolc ot object to his imtoadistd withdrawal < rom ths soil of Ohio, and that in?much I ?? kail Kun lllUI til I nter the State, it was not likely that hi* elf eviction would produce regret withie base boundariea. He went away. Neat night he came in witbtiie Mine ttalthy step, the same odor of gin was boat, and he wore the tame look of desair He apologlied, and did it nicely, lie make up was patterned after Alfred ingle, and hit volubility WM almost as , rent.

His face was as (athery as if he had lain in the crypts of ' Igypt. But the cheek* and nose wore J nged with a coloring eubataace more aduring than any coametio known to "my 1 tdy." He walked to the spittoon and ( tpoctorated. The he oarae book with the ' ' - v U..I1 TV.cn t ' ,THl OI a l\UU3ilfl VVUian uuvau. e commenced with a story about how he 1 ad made an effort to get over to Lexiug* ' >n the other day-i"padding the hoof"? ut the rains had oome and aloknoas had ' liced him, and he had turned back. In 'ovington he found Judge Arthur. The ' andsome, big aoulcd Congreaaman had ' newn him and his family in their better 1 ays, and had donated ten dollars. "Ah, ou don't know me," he said with a wist- ' al air, "you don't know who I am." We j nggeeted that if a knowledge of hi* aneesry and his personal history was likely to oat ten dollars, we wore quite well off in be bonds of ignoranee. He had lost the ?lk of Judge Arthur's douceur, be coniaued, at "shoat cards."

Our Washington correspondent represents him ns very much exercised over the ingratitude of some of his admirers. It is an ungrateful world.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis Herald tails the following anecdote of Professor Foster, who filled, with much ability, one the chain of the Faculty of the College in Knoxville, Tenneoee : Professor Foster was educated in the seiences usually taught in college, hut bis ignorance of the common affairs of life rendered him a remarkable man, furnish* ing a rare subject for the study of human nature in one of its multiform phases.? Being advised by some of his friends to get married, he. with child-like fkUh and simplicity, accepted their advice, and pro* mitcd to do so If he could find a young Udv villinw to hava him. That referred bin to a number of the be* young ladies in town, any one of whom, they hail no doubt, would be willing to accept bin band , and make him happy. He wae one of the j moat kind-hearted men, void of guile and , offense, and an entire stranger to the forms and ceremonies of modern courtship. He ( couldn't see the necessity of oonsuming a , year or two in popping tho question? , uSalIy. will you havo me V* So be went , that eery day to tha residence of the nearMt young lady who had boon eommended, | and being welcomed and seated in the , family circle, as he always was, wherever j known, he at-oece made known the object t of his visit by saying, in a cletjr, *qd dis* t linct voiee i } "Well, Miss Sarah, my friands bars ad- j riaed me to get married, recommend you | ind a number of other young ladies to j m as suitable persons, and I h?T0 oalled , to see if you ara willing to marry ma." 8 Had an earthquake violently shaken g lbs premises, the household could not c lave been more astonished- Wke a fright- ? tned rot, Sarah started to run, whan hur f uother caught her and said: t "Why, child, doq't ba frifhtsnsd j the b Professor won't hurt you." j Being seated again, a deep blush sue- 0 ceded the palauaaa wbioh had beau caused 0 >y the startling announcamant, she rsl- _ iad aqough to bt able to any to ths pro- t enor that as his was so entirely unezpect-1 ^ natter. This be granted, bat said : jj "As 1 am aaiioas, in case of your re* a nsal, to see th? other joqng ladies UMlay, e can wait only one hoar for your answer." i Knowing the worthiness, sincerity and implicit/ of the professor, the matron ook her blushing daughter up stairs for 1 consultation, while the father was left to a ntertain his proposed son-in-law as best q is could under the novel circumstances, t! )f course, the discussion of the sudden iropositiau between Sarah and her mothor o sea private, and cannot be given in fall, ii rhe moat essential parte of it, however, t vere told afterward. It was readily ad- I nitted that he waa entirely worth; of Sa- t qh's hand and heart. "But, mamma," said Sarah, "how would s t look to other people for me to have to t five an apswer in one short hour, only i lixty minutes, jump at a hasty chance? 1 ind to think how my young friends would t ie?r and laugh at ma. Wouldn't they a ease me to death ? No, ma, I can never f hce that music." t ""But stop, my child, sod listen to me. < There is not a young lady in the oity that 1 irould not jump at the offer made you.? 1 Let them laugh. Girls must hare some. < thing to laqgh at, but it won't hurt you. 1 Tell him yos, emphatically. If he were a j < itranger, whose antecedenta were unknown j' to us, however prepossessing in person 1 snd manners, or profuse iu his professions < of love, 1 would withhold my consent.? But we have long known him; his moral < character is without reproach, he is amis, i Lie, kind-hearted and sincere, a fine scholar, \ with an honorable position in the college, i and hi makes no fhlse pretences. You i know just what he is. What more do you i want?" * i "But, mamma, T don't know that k? I loves me; he hasn't even said so." i "0, well, daughter, never mind that. < Generally, those who are loudest in thsir i professions of love, have least of the pure i article. You can teaoh him by example < to love you. It is far better than preoept.'' ? Leaning her head upon her mother's < boaom, Sarah said, in a eubmiieivc tone; 1 "Well, ma, juat ae you say?I'll tell 1 him yea; but, although the hour isn't half out, we'll not go down until the laat min- i ute of the hour." i At the expiration of the flfty-nith min- 1 ute they returned to the professor and papa, Sarah atill blushing, but more oalm than before. Then, with a firmness that astonished herself as well as her parents, she extended ber band to the professor, and said: 1 "Yes, sir, if papa consents." He gate his consent without any hesitancy, and it was readily agreed by all that the wedding should take place a week from that time. Then Professor Foster, fith hi! nasi flalflkMU, eotMrtl tf hit ing performed hie duty, withdrew to re* port program to hie frieode. Well, to doe tine, the profenor weal to the clerk for hit lieeaee. The elerk informed bin that the lew required a hood and the tun of $1259, to ha roid on condition thet there wet do legal objection to the propoeed union of the two pertoni named. The profeeior very promptly replied, "O, never mind the hood, Mr. Clerk; I will pay $1100 dowo, and will hand yon the balance in a day or two." After further explanation by the dark, the profeeeor complied with the law and obtained his lioenae. At the appointed time the wedding came off in thu beet atyle of the city,.and the eompaay enjoyed the occasion with - e a _ i?a the great** Mac. in noon new ace bamming bird#.

The level >f the apper surface of the hog Was former* y 260 feet above the sea, and that of the rater at Dunmore 190 feet, shoving a fkll >f 70 feet. Up to a fortnight ago this bog presented the usual appearanoe of most of >ur undrained Irish boga, i. e., its skirts, idjoiniogth# arable land, consisting of ^igh turf banks, being exoeedingly wet tnd spongy. "On the first of October the farmer occupying a farm on the Corrabel stream, near the bog, vaa digging bit potatoes, ghsn he suddenly observed a browa maes ilowly approaching him. He left his ipsds in the ground and went for the asighbors; on his retur * the mass (which vu the moving bog) had half covered his potato fidld; and completely hidden from light his field of corn, with the exoeption jf a few 'stooks' situated on a knoll; they still remain an island in the middle of a icene of desolation. This was but ths ? - t commencement; since then tn? Dog nai continued to advance in a rolling mass, continuing its coarse right down the valley to Dunmore, burying on iti w?y three farm houses, and cowing at least one hundred and eighty aoree of pasture and arable laud to a depth, in some plaow#, of tlx feet. Tho unfortunate occupiers of the three farms hare been turned, by this visitation of Provideuee, farmlcse and homeless, with their families, on the world. "At Dunmore a small bridge has been removed, near the junction of the Corrahel stream with the Dunmore River, to afford relief to the lands up the valley, and a bog-laden torrent ia being discharged into the latter river. The worst may he said to be over, but the discharging powers of that river will be materially affected by hiI idta* of folid matte* the' let*W of " thin disaster prtaaoted' a waMU# paaraaoa.
