a Turkish Lunch.

Mark Twain has been to Turkey and after
ordering lunch thus speaks of it. 1 never
want another one, The cooking apparatus was
In the little room near the bazaar, and it was all
open to the street. The cook was dirty and SO
was the table, and it had no cloth on it. The
FELLOW took mass of sausage meat and coated
1t round wire and laid it on a charcoal fire to
cook When it was done he laid it aside, and
a dog walked sadly in and nipped it. He smelt
1t ilrst, and probably recognized the remains Of
friend. The cook took it away from him and
lad 1t before US. Brown said, II pass" He
plays euchre sometimes; and we all passed in
turn, Then the cook baked a broad, fiat wheat
en- cake, creased it we'll with the sausage and
started to bring it to u.s. 1t dropped in the
dirt, and he picked it up and polished it on the
seat of his breeches, and laid it before us
Brown said, II pass" We all passed and
called new deal. He put some eggs in fry-
ing pan, and stood pensively prying slabs of
meat from between his teeth with fork. Then
he used the fork to turn the eggs with. and
brought them along. Brown said II pass. 81
we all followed suit. We did not know what
to do, and so we ordered new ration of sau-
sage. The cook got out his wire, apportioned
a proper amount of sausage meat, spit ON his
hands and fell to work This time. with one
accord, we all passed out and left. A Turkish
lunch Is good, no doubt, but it has its weak
points

NOT IN.

She waited in the drawing-room,
Good Mrs. Mabel Moore;
Six founces of a pretty lace
We're on the dress she wore.
Upon the bosom a French rose
And on her cap some satin bows.
One little foot just peeped without
Her petticoat so white;
Her hair, little gray tbs true,
Was put in curl and bright;
And sweet her chances shone around,
AS if some good thing she had found.
The clock was on the stroke OF eight,
And still she sat apart,
Now listening close, and laying now
One hand UPON her heart;
And toying with her curls and rings
And doing other girlish things.
At length step was heard, and then
A ringing at the door:
Five minutes and half too soon,'
Said Mrs. Mabel Moore.
Then to her maid-''it is no sin,
Go quick and say am not in"
''For if he loves me as he says,
He can afford to wait
And come again precisely at
ElV0 minutes dICeF elSnL
My nerves are nearly quite unstrung,
So very earnestly he rung."
But true love never did run smooth,
As oftentimes is told,
And when the door was opened wide,
And shivering in the cold,
The maid beheld the expected guest,
And smiled and curtsied her best;
And told him with a grace as sweet
AS if she craved boon,
Her mistress had declared it was
A little bit too soon,
And that she thought it was no sin
To send him word she was not in.
"Ah, very WE'LL" the guest replied,
SIN truth I make no doubt
That whether she be in or no,
Eve surely found her out"
And she who sent him from the door
Remaineth Mrs. Mabel Moore.

For the Spectator.
Mutual Protection Association.


In view of the prevalent depredations in this
and adjoining counties, We, the citizens of Au-
gusta county, in the vicinity of Flshersvllle,
deem it expedlent, as wise precautlon, to de-
wise measures by which additional security may
be given to our property. Believing the only
practicable means Of affecting this security is IN
concert of action and an acknowledged identity
of interest, we have formed a Mutual Protection
Association the members of which are expect
ed, in good faith, to discharge every duty COM
patible with our civi1aw, that its existence may
impose in the protection of It's members against
the depredations of lawless persons. Thus, In
the event of pecuniary loss by theft, being sus-
tanned by any of its members acting as unit In
our exertions in its restitution and the appre-
hension of the offender, the chances for It's re-
coyery and his arrest are increased III geomet-
rical ratio. The strongest incentive to exertlon
in business affairs, next to aregard for right and
Justice, is probably pecuniary interest; and faith
is impelled by similar interest. We hope to be a
substantial aid to the civil officer, not only in
the protection of our property but also, IN Sc
curing the genial supremacy Of law and order.

Letter of Mr.. Stuart.


The Hon. A. FL. III. Stuart, having been in
vited by committee to join in banquet in
Washington, on the Sth inst, the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans, thus beautifully
and appropriately replied The letter speaks
for ITSELF
STAUNToN, Va, January 2, 1868
Gentlemen Il pray you to accept my thanks
for your kind invitation to attend banquet to
be given at the Metropolitan Hotel, in the city
of Washington, on the 9th instant, under the
auspices of leading members of the Conserva-
tive Democratic party.
Under ordinary circumstances it would be
peculiarly gratifying to me to participate in the
festivities Of that occasion, and to enjoy ''the
feast of reason and flow of SOUL which, doubt
not, will give zest to your entertainment. But
situated as | am-disfranchised as citizen, de-
MED the political privileges which are accorded
to my negro servant repealed from the hall of
the House of Representatives, to which | was
elected almost by reclamation my native State,
the proud old mother of Washington and Hen
ry, and Jefferson, unrecognized save as Military
District No. II must confess | would feel
somewhat out of place at your board.
In former days, when visited Washington
as representative of the people, or as the asso-
ciate of Webster, Crittenden and Corwin, in the
executive councils of the nation, | felt that, in
the eye of the law at least | was the peer of
the Hottest in the land [ was privileged to
think freely and to speak freely on all matters
of public concern. Were [ to join your circle
now, [ should feel painfully conscious of the
difference between your position and mine
No military order can consign you to dungeon
beyond the reach Of habeas corpus and no per-
suasive bayonets admonish you to speak with
''bated breath. - With me the case might be
different But be that as it may, while Vir-
ginia mourns cannot rejoice While the cy-
press encircles her brow | cannot Irvine the
myrtle round my own
But may not hope that the present condi
ton of things is temporary? fl do not mis-
interpret the signs of the times, the day is near
at hand when, by the mandate Of magnani-
nous people, the shackles will be stricken from
the limbs of Virginia and her Southern sisters,
and there shall be given unto them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the gar
ment of praise for the spirit of heaviness .
When that glorious day shall have arrived |
shall be happy to meet you and your fellow pa
triots around the festive board and on behalf
of Virginia to offer willing and hearty tribute
of gratitude to the noble Conservative Demo
Gratis who set her free.
Respectfully, your OBJ serv't
ALEXANDER Ii. FL. STUART.
