A Curious Misadyenture-A Bride il
the Wrong Room.

From the Wheeling lntelllgencer.
A few days ago the boarders at the
Sprigg House were aroused earl 10 the
morning by the loud cries Of = female,
which emanated from the partly open
door Of bed room on the third floor.
Proceeding to the room, young lady
was there found, who appeared in great
| distress, and from her statement we COM
pile the following as the cause Aft: Tie
day previous Sic, Ia company with youpg
mar, arrived ia the city from some yer
dant spo: in Ohio. Their purpose WAS to
be united in tie holy bonds of wediock.
After ID large portion Of the forenoon had
been spent in searching for The CLERK,
preachers, and Others, the ceremony was
performed, aud The hs?p7 couple took a
room at tie Spngg Uouss. After Tea the
bride concluded to 90 shopping, as ali
new married ladies like to. Her worthy
husband could not go, as be, with several
boon companions, were enjoying shsm>
| selves, and making merry over the late
wedding so our Young bride was forced
to 60 by herself Not being qna.uted
with the city, and too bashful to ask FOR
information, she soon lost her way, and
it was after dark before she reached her
ho'el again. Proceeding TO wha. she
supposed to be her room, she soon retired
for he night, being very tired and worn
out by the unusual incidents Of the DAY.
1t SO happened, hewevsr, she did not
notice the number on the door Of the
room she was 10, but, her key unlocking
the door, she supposed all to be right.
Now j: appears that abe had taken the
room of a single gentleman who is we'll
known for bis thorough dislike Of the fair
sex. lie, unconscious of a youthful
bride, retired at a late hour aud was una
ware that the lex. bed contained stran.
ger, uulil be was awakened by The cries
Of his neighbor.
About daylight she swoke and expected
to find her dear husband by her side
She, not finding him there, and seeing
that the other bed was occupied, proceeded
to Investigate. But, instead of her own
William, she found TIE features Of our
aour friend Hence the cries and excite,
msn'. She vas removed TO her own
room and there found her William quietly
sleeping of the effects Of the pights
carousal. Mutual explanations were given,
aud the happy pair departed for home,
the bride declaring she would never put
up al " one OF them big tayerns again

John Stiles as fat as any OK,
And Susan fat az butter.
And there they sat and shellel the corn,
And raked and stirred the fire,
And talked Of different kinds Of ears,
And Litohed their chairs the higher.
Then Susan she the pepper shook,
Then John he shook the pepper,
Till both their faces grew as red
AS saucepan5 made Of copper.
And then they shclled and popped and ate
All kinds of fun a poking-
While he haw-hawed at her remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped and still they ate,
Johns mout h was like hopper
And stirred the fire and sprinkled salt,
And shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten
And still the corn kept popping
1t struck eleven, then struck twelve,
And still no sign Of stopping!
And John he ate, and Sue she thought
The corn Oil pop and patter:
Till John cried out, 1.-the corn's afre!
Why Susan, what's the lnntter!o
Said she, "John Stiles, it's one o'clock,
You'll die Of indigestion;
I'm sick of all this popping corn
Why don't you pop the question:"
MISCHIEF MAKERS.
Oh, could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy ground
Where village pleasures might so round
Without the village tattling?
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty
OF gossip's endless prattling!
If such spot were really known,
Dame Peace might claim it as her own,
And in it she might fix her throne
Forever and forever;
There, like a queen might reign and live,
Where every one would soon forgive
Tho little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
The niscLief-makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth Of love,
And lead rs all to disapproyc
What gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part, but when.
They've heard our case, unkindly then
They soon retain them all again,
Mixed with poisonous measure.
And they have such a cunning way
OF telling tales. They say:
'Don't mention what say: pray:
would not tell another
Straight to their neighbours house they go
Narrating everything they know.
And break the peace Of high and low
Wife, husband, friend and brother,
Q! that the notwithstanding crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue.-
That every one might know them;
Then would the village soon forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet
With things too much below them.
For it's a sad, degrading part,
To make another's bosom smart,
And plant dagger in the heart
We ought to love and cherish:
Then let US evermore be found
In quietness with all around
While friendship. peace, and JOY abound,
And angry feelings perish.

A GENIoUs.-An extraordinary genius
has been discovered in Ireland, in the
person Of lad sixteen years of age
The lad has constructed, entirely unaided,
piscs of machinery in full motion, Occu-
pying ground space of SIX or eight feet
square, and driven by a small watsr-uheel
about four feet in diam.,er. On close
inspection it was found that various wheels,
cogs, cranks and spihdles were entirely
wood and were performing simultaneous
ly.ts varied operation. o. pumping, churn
ing, hammering on the anvil, perpendicu'
lar saw, diagonal and circular saw, etc.
but SO cleverly adapted to these respective
uses that the whole was driven with the
most perfect and easy motion BY TIE water
wheel already alluded to. The lad is the
sou of blacksmith living in KnockHeth
county Wicklow, and has never been ten
miles from home.

A SHARP ORDER.

Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, who has
disgraced the Episcopal Church by pro-
hibiting tie Episcopal Clergy of his State
from repeating the set form of prayer
"for the lresident Of the United States,
| and all Others in civil authority" on the
ground that the State is under military rule
has been mos righteously taught that the
Government is not to be tampered with,
by Maj. Gen. Thoma, commanding the
department. Gen. Thomas has order
ed.
'Tha. said Richard Wilmer, Bishop Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Diocese of Alabama, and the Protestant
Episcopal Clergy Of said diocese be, and
they are hereby suspended from their
functions, and forbidden to preach or per-
form divine service, and that their places
of worship be closed until such time as
said Bishop and Clergy show a sincere
return totheir allegiance to the Govern
ment Of the United States, and give evi.
}dsrae Of loyal and patriotic spirit by
offering to resume the use Of the prayer
fol the President of the United States
and all in civil authority, and by taking
the amnesty oath prescribed BY the Presi-
dent. The prohibition shall continue in
each individual case until special applica-
lion is made through the military chan
nels to these headquarters for permission
to Preach and perform deSine service,
and until such application is approved at
these or superior headquarters. District
commanders are required to see that this
order is carried into effect"
Good for Gen. Thomas. There is not
a loya. Episcopalian in any part of the
United States that viii not honor Gen.
Thomas for this prohibition. The House
of Bishops Of the Episcopal Church in
the United States who recently admitted
Bishop iWilmer into their body, will
please make a note of this.

PREPARE FOR WINTER.


The farmer ard gardner now have hun
dreds Of subjects on their hands, and the
days are short and feeting, and as old
Timc is passing with rapidity and power.
every one must be diligent and complete
with him, with all their might.
Secure crops Of every description, and
see that there is no waste after they are
in the csller, granary or barn, by animals,
vermin, heating mould, &c. Ses that po-
tatoes, beets, carrots, turDips, apples pump
kins and .auashes are secured from the
frost
Cart out manure. This is favorable
season to apply it as top dressing to
gras. lands 1t should also be in readl-
ness for early crops. When the manure
is removed from the barn yard, put loan,
tufts, &C., into the yard to absorb the Ii
quid manure, and prevent waste Of the
soiid parts. @'
1t is well established fact, that ma
nure saved in cellar is worth twice -
much as that thrown out and exposed to
the weather. Those who are so unfortu-
nate as 10 have no barn cellar, can save
the liquid manure, and prevent much Of
the waste of other parts, by having
good supply Of loam to throw on the floor.
and remove it as it becomes satured with
liquid manure. In this way a farmer
may nearly double the value Of his ma
nure.
Neat cattle and horses, young and old,
should be housed, if not fed They should
all be fed as the feed fails, that they may
not decline in flesh, then it will cost much
less to winter them, and they will be
moro profitable, for labor, beef, milk or
growth.
Secure buildings against the searching
winds and pelting storms Of winter. A
single nail may save the loss of board,
and even the destruction Of building,
for roofs of buildings have been blown of
by wind where only single beard was
wanting, or window was open.
Make bitches and drains to prevent
ploughsd lands from being washed
Lands for early crops should be prepared
by manuring and plowing, and elevating
if necessary, that the water maJ run of,
and the land become dry, early in the
season 3"
Ploughing can often be done more con-
veniently in Fall than 10 Spring. Teams
are strong at this season, and the weather
is cool. Most lands that are in rough
state, are much improved By Fall plough
ing, and exposure to the frost; and the
exposure Of land in ridges, destroys many
insects. Mr.. B. F. Cutter, Pelham, New
Hampshire, showed US very small patch
Of tomatoes ploughed in the Spring, on
which there was greater destruction OF
plants by worms, than on ten time the ex-
erteu. of land ploughed in the Fall. We
,, have destroyed witch grass in great
measure, by Fall ploughing, plac ing it IN
ridges. If it be laid over fiat and smooth;
the effect will be less, and if an early
snow remains all winter, the destruction
a ora., roots will be less than in an open
winter.
See that the fences around orchards are
good, as cattle prune tress very injudi-
ciously, to say nothing of their having no
regard to the proper season for this busi'
ue.s.-Er.

FIGHT YOUR WAY UP.

The many who have to take the world
rough and tumble are prone to envy the
few who roll through it untolted, in cush-
ioned vehicles on patent spring. The toll
er as he stumbles through its ,horny
thickets, and limps over its foot-blister-
ing gravel is apt no curse the i'll luck that
placed him on such hard road, and to
sigh for a seat in one of the splendid
equipages that glide SO smoothly over
Fortunes mecadamized turnpiSe. Born
with pewter spoon in bis mouth, he
covets the silver one which was the birth
gift of his do-nothing neighbor. The
more fool he. Occupation is the ''imme-
diate jewel" of life. 1t i. true that riches
are no bsr to exertion. Quite the reverse,
when their use are properly understood
But the discontented worker, who pines
for wealth without being willing to labor
for it, regards the idlsness in which it
would enable him to live as the acme of
temporal happiness. He has no idea OF
money as great motive power, to be
applied in enterprises that give healthful
employment to mind aud body. All that
he desires,is to live feathe- bed life--to
loaf luxuriously. We have no sympathy
with such sensuous longings People
who indulge in them never acquire wealth
They lack the energy to break their way
to the worldly Independence CT which
they yearn and whine. They don't know
how much more glorious it is to tear
afluence from opposing fate by main
strength of will and infxibility of pur-
pose, than to receive it as a windfall-
There is infinitely more satisfaction in
conquering fortune with brain and mu-
sic, than was ever experienced by a
"lucky heir" in obtaining the golden store
that some thriftier hand had accumulated.
