For great many years had Mr.. Twist
borne the title of Deacon. Clergy and laity
recognized it, and everybody called him Dea-
con-" Good morning, Deacon Twist" was a
common salutation, and it seemed fitting that
he should be deacon, because he was such a
good quiet benevolent man. Your neigh
Dor, Deacon Twist, seems to be great favor
ite,' said one who had newly moved into the
neighborhood, to an old settler what church
is he deacon OFF,
Not of any church." was the reply.
"Well, what gives him the title, then ?" the
stranger inquired.
Why" said the one questioned, "when
they were plastering the new church down
here, he and another sat up one cold night to
watch the fire, so that their work shouldn't
freeze, and to keep awake they played old
sledge in the organ loft, and he's been called
Deacon to this day"

To TAKE THE IMPRESSION OF THE LEAVES OF
PLANTS ON PAPER. Take sheet of paper,
and rub over it the thinnest possible film of
oil; then hang it up in the air TO partially dry
the film. Next cover the paper with lamp
black SCOT, or SCOT from large tallow candle,
by holding it extended over smoky fame,
and pressing it gently, but with care, into the
flame, in order to cover the paper with smoke,
but OF course so as not to set the paper on fire.
Having done this, put into a damp place to
take the curl out, and when cold and fiat, lay
on the smoky side the leaf intended to be i'm
pressed or printed then press with soft wad
every part of it, so as to take up portion of
the black this finished, place the leaf gently
on sheet of drawipg-paper, and put piece
of paper and weight of books, or pressure,
upon it. When the whole is removed there
will appear very beautiful black impression
resembling a lithograph, Of the leaf so treated
showing its true line its veins and fiber, quite
distinct and true to nature. Fleshy leaves of
ANIMALS, and similar plants, are better to copy
than evergrcens. For more simple method
of taking impressions, which possess the ad-
vantage that they may afterwards be colored
by hand, instead of lamp-smoke and candle
smoke, printers ink may be used, as was done
by Kniphof in his celebrated botanical work,
which extended to some dozen volumes folio,
and was published more than century ago,
and was the first successful attempt at nature
printing on q large scale. Impressions taken
in printers ink may also be colored, and
Kniphof's work was published both plain and
colored.-Sept,mus Piesse

A Night Scene in Yong Lady's Bed
Chamber.

Chamber.
During one of the warm nights of the season,
young lady was excessively frightened by a
little circumstance which transpired about the
hour of-midnight. This young lady whose
beauty is only equal to her modesty, and whose
eyes dark charm" has caused more than one
waistcoat to palpitate, had retired to her
chamber, where, after laying aside the greater
portion of her wearing apparel, she committed
herself to the tender embraces of Morpheus,
whose soothing influence was aided by the
cooling breath Of Zephyr, who came in at the
open window and famed her cheeks with her
feathery wings. In word she was snoozing
fnely-or to use the language of modern
bard
Sleep on her velvet eyelds lightly press'd
And dreamy sighs upheaved her snowy breast
While starbeams thro' the window softly creeping,
Stole to her couch, and trembling there, stood
peeping."
1t was as we said about midnight when
the young lady was aroused from her delicious
slumber by hearing noise at her window
Half unclosing her eyes, she was startled by a
corpulent form, struggling to gain admission
to her chamber through her window. 1t struck
her at once that the intruder had been caught
by the rear of his unmentionables, by nail
or some other sharp instrument, as he seemed
to be struggling with stern determination to
enter. Her first thought was to faint-her
second to give the fellow push-the third to
jump out Of the window as soon as he jumped
in-her fourth to scream, which was immedi-
ately carried into effect. The whistle of the
locomotive on the Iron Mountain road when it
gave its first snort on the 4th of july was but
whisper to the screams of the young girl
The whole house and half the neighborhood
were awakened by the outcry.
The old folks, three female servants, and
two big brothers rushed to the rescue, and
broom-sticks, mop-handles and boot jacks flush
ed in the gas-light, as the household entered
the chamber of the frightened beauty. An
examination Of the figure in the window dis
PEELED the fears of all, and changed the screams
of the young lady to shouts of laughter.
The imaginary " fat man. was only her own
darling hooped skirt, which she had hung on
a hook near the window, and which the wind
bad inflated and set in motion. There was no
more sleeping in that house that night
The happy Termination of the adventure put
the family in such good humor that they
laughed and talked until breakfast time
Young ladies should be careful about the dis
posal of their hoops when they go to bed.

sad andTraeicaI AFFAIR,


On Tuesday last there was street rencountre
between Capt. Geo. W. Morgan in command of one
of the volunteer companies stationed here, aud
Charles Douglas of this city. Several shots were
fired, one or two of which struck Douglas but did
no serious damage. One of the shots, however,
took effect upon Mr.. Ball. very verify citizen of
the county, who was standing in the Drug Store of
DR.. John jackson. At the time of this writing, we
understand Mr. Ball is dying from the effect Of the
wound
Soon after this sad occurrence Douglas appeared
on the street. armed with gun, and threatened to
shoot Capt. Morgan, if he came in sight of him.
These threats were repeated yesterday morning and
naturally produced great excitement. Capt. Nor
gan and his friends hearing of them and that his
life was in danger, determined to have the matter
settled. Accordingly they came into the city and
appealed to the civil authorities to take the matter
in hand. They were given one half hour to arrest
Douglas and prevent him from attempting to carry
his threat into execution.
They were assured that if they would not inter
pose the friends of Morgan would not have his life
jeopardized but would take the matter IN their own
hands While this subject was under discussion, a
shot was fired at Douglas, who was standing at his
window, and took effect in his left shoulder. The
wound is dangerous, if not a fatal one.
We have heard several versions Of this affair all
of which, in our Judgment makes Douglas the ag-
gressor.
