The Business Mans Friend
COUNTING-HOUSE CALENDAR

MANY PERSONS have tried from
A4 time to time to invent perpetual mo-
ton, but without success. Prof. Jones has
invented something better "A Perpetual
Revolving Calendar, which is indeed the
Business Mans Friend. 1t is gotten up in
a fine circular rosewood frame, with neat
mirror in the face. At a glance you can
see the MONTH, the DATE OF THE MONTH,
also the year. and II requires to be set but
once week in the back eff this Calendar
is placed the sho. test and most easy
method IN the world for computing inter-
est which alone is worth the phi e of the
Ca endar. II is just the thing Tor the mer-
chant. mechanic, farmer, or business man
of every occupation, and should be on The
wal of every coCnting-house, Office, stea "a :

an ornament as furniture, but gem IN

Old John Brown and Jstv. Dsvfs.

John Brown, of Kansas, headed what
was at the time termed o rebellion
against the State Of Virginia. It was
openly admitted on all sides to be in the
interests of freedom. Little damage
arose from it. Yet it will be remem-
bered that Virginia court refused bail
for him. He received . summary and
very unfair trial, and after most barbar-
Gus treatment, was executed. jefferson
Davis was the official head Of another
rebellion-an attempt to overthrow the
Constitution and Government Of United
States. We need not refer to the terri
Bile consequences it inflicted upon all
sections of the country. And yet he 10
admitted to bail in nominal sum, which
his securities will not grumble to pay in
case he is in Europe when he is wanted

Davis, ]. Minor Bolts and Greeley.

Thurlow Weed, in the New York Ad-
vertiser, draws the following picture of
the scene at Richmond on the occasion
of the release Of jeff Davis. It is tint
ed with the personal antipathy of the
editor to Mr.. Greely, but there is truth
in it. JEFF. Davis ought to have been
tried with Writ. He is the guilty one
in the four years bloody tragedy which
caused the Nations sacrifice of SO much
blood and treasure. If it were not for
the billions OF debt, and the regular calls
of the tax collector, the rebellion might
be considered SO lunar eclipse" which
has passed away and nobody guilty of
the bloodshed no one guilty Of the
blame The Advertiser says:
Jefferson Davis, the Tribune an
nounces, is free man. This is made,
by the conspicuous part played by lead
ing Northern Radical, the occasion of an
ovation. The crowd raise their hats to
the long prosecuted but now ransomed
martyr. The people cheered and waiv
ed their handkerchiefs as the released
patriot passed through the streets to his
hotel, where innumerabIe bnnches Of
flowers, lent beauty and fragrance to his
apartment.
sAmong the distinguished gentlemen
Immediately surrounding Jefferson Davis
was Horace Greeley and Harry Gilmore,
'the land pirate who captured defense

and Philadelphia.
ssThe whole scene was appropriately
crowned by 'hisses' for John Minor

Imprisonment, but for that occasion, on
the wrong side. Bolts was Union

appearing in such company and on such
an occasion, was of course Kissed.

Henry Ward Beecher on Faults.

It is difficult to define exactly what
we mean by fault. There is a popular
impression, which is nearly correct, that
it is modified sin that it is something
irregular. but that it lacks in magnitude
or intent something Of that which goes
to constitute q positive sin. In many
instances faults are simply Irregularities
in execution, or N ere inattentions, mega
tons, and almost always have this quail
ity of being incidental, not intentional,
not purposed, or the result of passion.
There are great many who suppose
that there is q merit in falts. / think
they do not discriminate very wisely. 1t
is true that perfect people are the most
disagreeable and intolerable people in
the world-those so-called perfect men

rude enough after four years of destitu-
tion--when loud ringat the bell start

want? Our silver perhaps, the little
gold we had left to keep the wolf from
the door; or perhaps my father! Ny
lips blanched as they formed, but did
not dare to utter the word But our af-
fright was tenfold increased when Gen.
Sherman was announced. If he had

Rev. Zsb Twitohell.
Everybody who ever lived In ver-
mont has heard Of Zeb Twitchell. one Of
the most noted preachers Of the Meth
odist persuasion that ever travelled .
circuit in that State. He was power
full preacher, and his labors were signal
ly blessed; but he WAS eccentric. Many
OF his jokes are related BY his admirers
in this day.
Zeb was going to aconference at one
time, and, to divide the expenses he put
his horse to brother clergyman's wag.
on, and SO journeyed. 1t 80 happened
that his companion was q very sober
and sedate man, and could no more ap-
preciate good joke than Twitcheu
could refrain from perpetrating one. It
will readily be supposed that those
which he found means to crack were by
no means few or common. At last. a.
they drew near the end of their journey,
Twitchell said, as they drove leisurely
past public house:
The last time staid in that house
slept with the landlords wife,"
WHAT demanded his companion,
almost overcome with horror.
Zeb repeated the assertion. An audi
BILE groan succeeded, but nothing further
was said until their arrival at their desti-
nation.
1t was the custom then, and may be
now, for aught we know. at the proper
time to review the characters of all the
clergymen belonging to the conference.
each one being called by name, and the
interrogation being made il any one
knew of any dereliction from duty in
the brother for the past year. The clerk
at once called: "Zebedee Twitchell."
There was no answer. Another call
met with no better success, when one Of
the brethren remarked shat -" Zebedee
Twitchell was present, but neglected to
answer"
"Why do you not answer when your
name is called, Brother Twitchell p
asked the Bishop.
q shall when it is called" was the
reply.
Has it not been called twice al
ready? ?"
"Not once yet"
"How do you speak your name ?"
"Ze-b-Zeb," was the prompt reply.
to the clerk.
Brother Twitchell responded, and the
usual question was propounded as to his
walk and conversation during the past
year. With much apparent reluctance,
and with the air of one who is obliged
to perform disagreeable duty, his trav-
cling companion arose and said that he
had to perform the painful task of lay
ing before the conference that Brother
Twitchell had been guilty Of the crime
of sleeping with an other mans wife.
All raised their heads in holy horror
that q brother SO well disposed and 30
universally respected should have fallen.
"What reason have you for saying so,
brother ?'' was asked by the Bishop.
.sHe told me himself that he slept
with the wife Of the landlord" was the
answer.
The matter began to look grave, and
the conference looked still graver.
what have you to say to the charge,
Brother Twitchell ?''
That it is true"
You told him you slept with the wife
| of the landlord at -?"
'sI did, but believe forgot to tell
him that, at the time, kept the house
myself"
Zeb Twitchell passed that year.
