A FRONTIER HOTEL.-A Missouri corres-

following experience of couple of travellers in
Kansas who were looking for good farming
land, and who were compelled one night to
sleep at farm house in a sparsely settled dis
trict. The ed6ce contained but one room aud
the accommodations might accurately be de-
Scrbed as not luxurious When bedtime ap-
preached piece of blanket was hung across
the room. The travellers took their part ofth
apartment, and darkness and silence soon reign
ed throughout the dwelling. 1t appeared that
the chickens, for want of better place, rooSt-
ed on the four-barrel; and when it was sup
posed that sleep had overcome the guests the
good wife thus addressed her husband
:" say John, if you are going to keep

drowsy husband. IN

PORTRAIT OF a VILLAGE LoAFER-The
Litchfed, Conn, Sentinel thus photographs
one of the institutions of that town:
There is a man in this town who sets him
self up as the censor of public morals, and who
publishes aud condemns the shortcomings of
his fcllow-men. He is as sanctimOniOus as if
he had swallowed conference meeting. Five
hundred of the old, genuine, original, hard
shell PharseeS, boiled down to a half pint,
would make weak decoction when compared
With this individual. He is so impregnated
with the odor of sanctity that one could Scrape
it off his clothes with a cam-shell. Yet this
man is the most inveterate lOafer in the whole
town-an inquisitive, prying, meddleSome,
impudent nuisance, an intolerable gossip and
busybOdy. If he sees two or more gentlemen
talking together he walks up and listens to
their conversation. He has the cheek of a
cast-ron Indian. He is capable of interrupt
ing the bcnediction at a wedding to ask the
bridegroom what fee he expects to pay the
clergyman. We are not going to tell who this
man is if we should do SO some lite insurance
company would cobhie him for peripatetic
agent and we have too much philanthropy to
do any thing that might increase his opportu-
nifty to make his felow-men miserable, or to
commit the sin of cursing"

Hard by the garden-seat,

And all sad things are sweet,
Stands Oymbeline.
Where through the trellised leaves
The van moon softly weaves
A chain Of light, that cleaves
Ger her sweet face.
FAITH keePeth watch above,
But false the faith thereof,
While at her feet lies LOVE,
For love of her.
Amid red roses breath,
That sicken into death.
My Lady stays and saith.
Not anything.
The trembling leaves are sad,
And Love with GRIEF is clad,
Not anything is glad.
Because other.

For her swarth knight is slain,
And cometh not again,

Charles Miller uS. Charles ECfds1.-This rather
humorous cause occupied the attention OF the City
Court yesterday morning. to the entertainment OF
the spectators. The parties In the action are both
Germans, as their names indicate, and occupied
apartments IN the same farm house at New Utrecht,
together with their families, In 1865 the defendant
being owner Of the premises. The place was infested
with rats, and their determination became COM
mon cause with the occupants Of the house.
Phosphorus was procured to poison the
vermin, and this was put up in small
pieces OF bread, which were placed near the
rat holes In and about the dOmicle. One OF
the children OF Miller while at play innocently eat
piece OF bread which contained the phosphorus and
grew very sick Tor time, but finally recovered Its
usual health. Now 1t happened that seven or eight
chickens, and one g00se-bgger than the rest Of his
tribe-who frequented the farm yard and were
owned by the complainant, also part00k OF the bane
full mOrsel intended for their enemy, the rat, and
died. Hence the present action. The defence was
based on testimony showing that Miller had himself
distributed and recommended the use Of the phos
phor0sl to his tenants as the best means OF Kidding
themselves of the rats
The jury after brief deliberatIon found verdict
OF acquittal and Eckart went on his way rejoicing

The ADVANTAGES OF ADVERTISING m THE HERALD

PAssAIc, n. j., Jan. ], 1863.
To THE EDITOR or THE HEBAID:-
The other day my attention was called by nv
friend Dr. j. 0'Brien OF 2c3 East Thirteth street
TO one OF the beneficial results OF advertising in the
HERALD. IL Is SO remarkable that cannot resist
the temptation OF directing your attention 10 the
subject
Over four years since the Doctor had his pocket
picked OF poremonnae containing money and a
valuable diamond ring. He at once advertised in
your columns, accurately describing the ring. ana
every rev months repeated the advertisement up TO
avery recent period. During November, 1885, he
inserted under Personals the following advertise.

The Doctor consulted with the captains OF several

ANONYMOUS letter was not sufficient to justify active
measures.

The probability that owing to the publicity
given 10y the Doctor, the thief was afraid 10

TACT 0f his possessing the ring being known, and
the Doctors repeated advertisements induced him
as prudential measure TO restore II to the owner.
