MELoDEoN HALL, about half past I
Mr.. EDIToR-Dsar SIR
Its amusing to watch the people,
That gather in Melodeon Hall,
To listen to some great intellect,
That comes when the dollars call;
But Its very tedious and tiring,
To sit an hour and half
On these torturlng seats, unable
To raise a smile or laugh;
And we would suggest the committee
Adopt some feasible plan,
That viii make the time We are waiting,
Vanish as quick as it car, =
Or throw open the doors much later,
III And make it, good deal less
-i Than tistee as long as the Speaker takes
To deliver his address, =
But tonight we are very observing.
And wanting something to do
Wen make few notes of passing events.
And pass them over to you
some elderly people are talking,
While some are II aiding the news;
And yonoer is gentleman doing
In one of the parquette pews;-
There, laWy er with look BLACKSTONE,
Cons Cne of his massive tones;
And here, to our right, is a lady
Reading the Poems by Holmes
On the back seats high in the gallery,
A dozen unruly boys,
Are consuming peanuts, and making
A very discOrdant noise
The reporter appears on the platform,
10 take down word and clause
And being from over the ocean
Is greeted with loud applause:
And around in Dleas0of T,o-5t;,rs
Are lovers, beaux and bellies
Each wearing smiling counteuance
That wor.1 Of meaning tells.
Up the aisle young usher hurries,
WIN Two of those CdSV chairs,
For couple of snObbish fellows,
Who're putting on foreign airs
Aud looking over the audience,
That love for Taylor brings,
We observe that some of the ladies,
Are doing some ''crHei things
For their fingers are very busy
With wOrsted of every hue;
Fashioning it into nameless things,
Curiously strange and new
While their eyes are fired on their netting,
We cast glance over all,
And to0Hder If they are as busV
at Home, as here lq the hail.
Two ladies just before us
Perform some wonderful feats,
For spreading their hoops and dresses
They each secure two seats;
Which they're keeping for their husbands
'Gainst all the passers by,
BY protesting that they're taken"
Which at best is a very white lie
For in such crowded houses,
First come, first served" is the way,
And railroad style don't suit US
- nf rasArUinO saohs ---i4l.~--.
Very slowly the half hours vanish,
As each and every one knows
But the genial Taylor commences
And so--ire come to close.

The Fruits of Gamblin

\ young gentleman of Montgomery
county recently visited Louisville on busi-
ness for relative, and after collecting a
claim of $40, made an injudiciOus display
of his money in Il public bar-room. Soon
after, he fell in with well dressed gentle
man, named Francis Bennett of Nashville,
Tenn, and after an oyster-stew and sum-
thin to take the young gentleman from
Montgomery was induced to join 4 pleas
ant little party and take a hand in a small
game of poker. 1t is the old story, 50 Of
ten told. He was suffered to win $40 or
$50, and then the " luck changed" and the
genteel gamblers. for such they were, swept
the table and pocke.ad S49O of his money.
The young nnsii came home overwhelmed
with shame, and reported that he had de-
posted this amount in one of the Louisville
banks, but finally confessed his folly, and
secured the amount by mortgage on prop
erty.
The experience of this unfortunate young
gentleman was something like that of the
proIigal son of an old Quaker, who, falling
among the same class of thieves at New
Orleans, was heeced of his last dollar, and
coming home, reported that he had depos-
tied his money in Bank. "What Bank y
asked the old gentlemen, and this was the
sons reply:
Il do not exactly remember in what
bank, father; I know it was very good
one, as it had scriptural name. 1t was
uml let me see--it was the Pharaoh Faro
Bank, think"

One of the "Merehant Princes

B."
He was born at Hubbletown, Connecticut,
in the year 1902. BY the time he was ten
years old land very DID, indeed, he was at
that time of life), he had made one hundred
and sixty-five bargains, barters and dickers
in shoe-strings, peg-tops, and jack-knives,
and had amassed the sum of five dollars and
hfty-three, cents. At the age of eleven, he
entered the store of Grab and Ketchum, in
his native town, and continued therein as
clerk until he had reached the age of hf-
teen years, and accumulated the sum of two
hundred and FIVE dollars and thirty two
cents. Investing this amount in potatoes
and dried pumpkins, he set sail in Ston-
ington sloop for New York, and with his
entire possessions landed at Fulton market
in the year 1917. Since that time he pass
ed through the several professions of vegeta-
BILE purveyOr, tish-vender general merchant
bank president, and solid man, and is now
considered magnate and millionaire. He
was never indicted for stealing, nor accused
of infidelity. He was never troubled with
an ultra idea, never had an unselfish aspira-
ton, never went out of his way TO do Il
charitable act never bothered himself with
romance, sentiment or art, never spoke two
consecutive sentences in a grammatical
manner, never looked at the stars over his
head or the flowers under his feet. He is
some fifty-five years of age, bald bilious,
and not especially amiAble. He has just
built large brick house, veneered with
brown stone and furnished it with satin
wood and brocatelle, and hung the walls
with paintings, evidently by very old, and,
indeed, quite decrepit masters, and set up a
carriage. He has achieved fine social po-
sition, and is now considered a most de-
sirable match for any virgin in New York.

Sleeping with the Landlords Wife.

We give the annexed incidents in regard
to Rev. Zeb Twitchel, Methodist clergy
man in full and regular standing, and
member of the Vermont Conference:
At one time he represented Stockbridge
in the State Legislature. Zeb, says our in
formant, is man of fair talents, both as
preacher and a musician. In the pulpit he
is grave, solemn, digniiied and Thorough
systematic solemnizer; out OF it there is no
man living who is more full offun and droll-
cry On one occasion he was vending his
way towards the seat of the Annual Confer
ence of Ministers, in company with another
clergyman. Passing a country inn, he re-
marked to the other Clergyman.
"The last time | stopped at that tavern
| slept with the landlords wife. )"
In utter amazement, his clerical friend
wanted to know what he meant.
"I mean just what | say" replied Zeb; !;
and on went the two travellers in unbroken
silence until they reached the conference.
In the early part Of the session, the con-
ference sat with closed doors for the purpose
of transacting some private business, and cs-
pecially to attend to the annual examination
of each members private character, or rather
conduct, during the past year. For this
purpose the clerk called Zeb's name. i5
F1 "Does any one know sught against the
character of Brother Twitchell during the
past year? asked the bishop who was the
presiding officer 3-4--..- taaf. $500.
After a moments silence, Zebs travelling
companion arose with heavy heart and
grave countenance; said he had duty to
perform-one that he must therefore dis
charge it fearlessly, though tremblingly.
He then related what Zeb had told him
while passing the tavern, how he slept with
the landlords wife, &c. r4 5a.
The grave body of ministers were struck
rs with thunderbolt, although few smiled
and looked first at Zeb then upon the bishop,
knowingly, for they knew better than the
others the character of the accused. 1
The bishop called upon brother Twitchel
and asked him what he had to say in relation
to 80 serious q charge. Zeb rose and said :
did the deed never lie!" XIV
Then pausing with an awful seriousness,
he proceeded with slow and solemn delib-
Grafton. @ Eci
"There was one little circumstance, how
ever, connected with the affair did not
name to the brother. 1t may not have
much weight with the Conference, but
although it may be deemed of trihing i'm
portance, will state it. When slept with
the landlords wife, as told the brother, I
kept the tavern myself
