Knock Down Arguments.

A few days ago, house of ill-fame in
Detroit, was entered by man of middle
age and serious countenance, who inform
ed the women that he intended to offer up
prayer for their spiritual welfare, and
proceeded to do so dropping on his knees.
The inmates of the house not desiring his
devotional service took advantage of his
position and rolled him out of DOORS But
there their triumph ended. Rising to his
feet he rushed back into the house striking
out vigorously with the carnal weapons of
nature in style that would have done
credit to the prize ring. Having by such
knock-down arguments cleared a space, he
again knelt down and finished his prayer.
The astonished sufferers by this develop
ment Of muscular chris tianity subdued into
silence, heard themselves described and
their cases stated in prayer, with a plain
ness beftting the occasion.

A New Trick upon Travellers.

A BOSTON paper gives the following
IN account of new trick played on
travellers
A gentleman recently travelling from
Philadelphia to New York fell into
chance conversation with stranger hav-
ing all the outward appearances of respect
ability. After some quarter of an hours
talk, the stranger politely asked the gen.
tleman if he would take a cigar, at the SAND
time holding out two cigars, one looking
like Regalia the other smaller, such as is
usually called London size. The gentle
man happening to take the larger one be-
ing nearest in him as presented, the stran-
ger recommended him to take the smaller
one, remarking that he thought it was OF
better flavor. After smoking about quar-
ter to a third of the cigar, the gentleman
discovered that he was suddenly becoming
very dizzy. A suspicion flashed through
his mind that the cigar was not all right.
He Immediately threw it away but his
giddiness increased so much that it was
with the greatest difficulty that he preserv-
ed his self possession. In few minutes a
most copious perspiration started from ev-
cry pore of his body, and the water fair
ly ran off his person.
The stranger, meanwhile, was apparent
ly sound asleep on the other end of the
seat On his arrival at New York, the
gentleman with great difficulty, got off the
car and took carriage for his hotel, where
he was soon after violently attacked with
vomiting, and passed a very sick night
He had been for sevei al years resident of
Cuba, great smoker, and is fully con-
vinced that the cigar was drugged, and
that this is new dodge to trap the unwary
for the purpose of robbery. He attributes
his escape to the fact of his smoking, but
little of the cigar, and to his very robust
constitution.

GB- The other day cvrrier-pigeon car

London description of the machinery
which did the printing. 1t makes dupli-
cate Of ordinary handwriting million
times smaller than the original, so that it
can only be read by the aid Of a powerful
microscope. The inventor announces that
he can thus reprint the whole Bible %

books in proportion. Think of it, The
Speaker OF the House can carry Cushing's

Ey the magic aid of this little machine, the
total contents of the Astor Library may be
transferred to five-cent blank book. Add
to such compendium, a small portable mi
croscope, which might nestle unnoticed in
the pantaloons pockets and the proprietor
may have at command all the wisdom of
the sages, from Socrates down to Ralph

her, edo please let me out Mr. Thomas
and I'll give you anything 1 have in the
world"
MIR, Castlewynne paused ; he appeared to
be celebrating. Miss Betsey took heart of
hope.
:" Will you give me your niece ElfridaP"
My niece Elfrida? N-ever-realy, I
could not
go very well, just as you elect. Ermine,
will you have the goodness to step down
stairs and call up the landlord?"
And at the same instant Elfrida's soft
voice was heard calling in the next room.
"Aunt Betsey, aunt Betsey. Oh, Mrs
Parker, where can my aunt be gomez"
Search, an expose and detection were
looming over the wretched victim of cir
cumstances she ratified madly against the
door.
"You-needn't go, Mr.. Ermine-you
needn't 60. Only let me out"
"You will freely bestow the hand of your
niece upon me?"
Yos-yes-anything everything"
Mr.. Castlewynne unbolted the door, and
threw it open with low bow. Miss Betsy
stayed not to reciprocate his politeness, but
darted from the room like.an arrow fleeing
from the bow, never stopping till she was
safe in her room.
"Aunty,' exclaimed the astonished Ell
fie, where on earth have you been?"
But that was just what ''auntie" never
would tell her.
"Elfrida." said Miss Betsey, when she
had Gained her agitated nerves by green
tea and nap, " I've changed my mind
about young Castlywynne. If you and he
are really bent on making match of it''-
here aunt Betsey involuntarily grimaced,
as if she were taking medicine" why you
must have your own way, suppose"
Elfrida's face grew radiant.
"Dear Aunt Betsey," she cried with a
shy kiss upon the parchment forehead of
the old lady clam so glad"
"There, there go along" said Miss
Whistleton, ungraciously, 81 want to rip
up my caps for the wash, and I can't be
bothered with kissing ~
81 do hope" she had added mentally, as
Ellie tripped away, "he won't tell that
child the. whole story"
But there was mischicvous sparkle in
Elfe's eye when she came up that night,
which filled Aunt Betsey's soul with dread
and convinced her that Castlewynne had
betrayed the secret of her siege and surren-
der.
And thus Aunt Betsy, sorely against her
will, was forced to help Cupid's bark afloat
down the stream of True Love. Alas
| poor Aunt Betsey.

AUNT BETSY'S ADVENTURE.

II WAS A HOT July afternoon, the air
Il full of slumberous electricity, and the
sunshine, sleeping dreamily on the close
cut grass in front of the Merrifield hotel !;
while down in the glen, towards the rail
road track, you could distinctly hear the
fret and ripple of the trout stream over its
bed of messy stones.
Merrifield was pretty, sequ estered
place, full of picturesque wood-nooks and
pleasant rambles, and as yet, not over
crowded by the high tide of summer fash
ionables. Moreover, the fare was low, and
the hotel charges moderate-and that was
the reason why Miss Betsey Whistleton had
come thither with band-boxes, her tortoise
shell cat, and her niece Eltrda.
Miss Betsy was tall, squarely- fashioned
maiden lady, stranded somewhere ON the
debatable land between forty and fifty,
with leathery complexion, hair cut
short in the neck, coal black eyes-glassy
rather than brillant-and thin, colorless
lips. AS the French say, "there are young
maids, and old maids" Some are perfectly
irresistible in their sunny good humor and
enabonp0int-more bewitching than any six
teen-year-old girl, because their arrows are
tipped with the barb of experience. But
Miss Whistleton did not belong to this
rare and radient'' few. Miss Whistleton
was an old maid-venomous-a radical op-
ponent to anything savoring of matri-
mony-a believer in catnip tea, total de-
pravity, and the approaching end of the
world. And above all things Miss Whis-
tleton detested-a man.
Little Elfrida was totally different El-
frida was just seventeen, with round,
apple bloom face, eyes as blue as wood
violets, and mischievous dots of pimples,
coming and going, like the impress of
Cupid's finger on her smooth, pink cheek.
And Elfrida wore white dresses, with blue
ribbon fluttering about them, and roses at
her belt, and read poetry sub rosa, and. be-
lieved in mankind particularly in Tom
Castlewynne.
Consequently, it may easily be inferred
shat Elfrida led dolorous life of it, with
her aunt Betsey and her Aunt Betsey's pc
culiar views.
This particular afternoon, Miss Betsey sat
bolt upright, engaged in hideous pieces of
patchwork, which had been poor Elfrida's
!" black beast" ever since she was tall
enough to WELD needle, and scolded her
niece psrsistently.
"Don't talk to rue, Elfrida Martin p she
said energetically was quite unne-
cessary for poor Ellie had not opened her
lips in quarter of an hour-"I know per.
fectly we'll that it is all through your doing
that Thomas Castlewynne, and his riotous
cigar-smoking friend, have come dow to

ours-the Cery nert room. should think

Sold for Three Dollars.

In New York, Edward Murphy was ar
raigned at the bar of the Special Sessions,
last week, for stealing twenty-five cents.
"Who is the complainant in this case?"
inquired justice Downing
81 am, your honor" answered Miss So
phia Leffier but 1 wish to withdraw the
charge"
Withdraw the charge?" queried the
Justice.
"Yis' yer riv'rince," squeaked shrill
voice from she spectators benches "you
see I'm the by's mother; I've settled the
case all right by givin' Mrs. LETTER three
dollars"
The people of the State of New York
sold out for three dollars p shouted JUS
tice Downing. "Not if the Court knows
itself Mrs. Leffler, return that money
Immediately"
His Honor's eyes flashed as the woman
nervously gave the money back to the moth
er of the lad, and gave testimony that
convicted him. Sentence was suspended.

A Few words More.

An exchange thus happily and effec-
lively addresses certain class of its pat
rons. Having some old, old accounts of
the same character, we give this splendid
article an airing. Read it.
Last week we stated that quite num-
ber of our patrons were in arrears, and
that although We did not need the money
-as we didn't want to buy anything, nor
didn't want to go anywhere Just now
neither do We want to open bank, or go
into the "broking" business, until next
spring; yet we have few creditors who
think it is our duty to ask those who owe
us, to pay up.
Creditors ought, we think, to mind their
own affairs and let us and our creditors
alone. But like an Arkansas mosquito,
they Will present their bills. Besides, We
must pay cash for paper and ink, (they
have quit sending it gratis.) Our coal
and gas bill is presented regularly-our
landlord will be after us for rent next
month-our hands need money-or say
they do, 1--WE don't know what they want
to do with it, but they want it. Of course
it costs us very little to live. Boarding is
mere trife, an item too insignificant to
mention, and clothing costs us compare
lively little. Our incidental expenses are
not heavy, and were it not for creditors
we would not even mention it. We don't
want money-it is the cause of great evil
it might make us proud and arrogant,
you know, But we are expected to pay,
and if We do so, must respectfully ask our
patrons to help us by handing in, or send
ing to our Office, sometime before the lst
of February 1870, mot 1871 remember) the
small amounts due us. Some of our sub
scribers are in arrears two years-some
longer-a few as long as five years. The
inventor of the art, old Gutenberg him
self, couldn't run a newspaper long on
aerial principles if he had creditors. Send
few greenbacks-we don't want gold
1t would suit us Just as well, but our
creditors don't take gold in payment of
debts. Don't forget our post Office address
and place of business.

Persons building good dwellings, or
churches, will find 1t greatly to their inter-
est to go directly to A. ]. Kintz to con-
tract or to get competent man to take
charge of theT building, and good PT1IC-
tical hands to do the work. l have a
force of from 90 to 60 practical carpen-
tiers, and amongst them are to be found
some of the best the country affords. l
keep only such men as give satisfaction.
Having been able so far to keep my
men constantly employed summer and
winter, can hire men for at least % cents
per day cheaper than other men not hav-
ing these same facilities. l would there
fore say to such men as feel disposed to
hire man and pay him 1925 or $3.50
per day, besides paying him % cents COM
mission on each hand, that they can save
at least 25 cents per day or each hand by
coming directly to me, besides saving IN
many other ways.
l have all the benches, ropes, pulhes,
and other tools necessary to facilitate the
work, which all hands have access to with
out extra charge. l have q large shop
and plenty sheds to work out stnff and

deal of annoyance and time hunting teams.
have also good dry house in connection
with the shop where all material not tho
roughly seasoned can be made fit for use
in short time l therefore say to the
building public generally, that they will
find it to their interest to consult me be-
fore letting out their building to any other
