Messrs. Faulkner and TraYers.

Timothy, the GharlestoMn correspondent
of the Shepherdstown Register, in the fol,
lowing paragraph, pays wellsmerited COM
pliment tothe gentlemen above named. Speak.
ing of business in the Circuit Court. he saws:
Nothing has been transacted up tn this date
of especial interest or Importance. The cause
of this delay in the trial business of the Cour.
was ostsnsibly, the absence of Messrs. Faux
ner and Travers, who had not returned from
the Convention. The first named gentleman.
Notwithstanding he has the reputA tion of be.
ing somewhat cratic in politics, maintains his
character as a profound lawyer and commands
a large share of the patronage at this bar
practice extending through double score
OF years gives him a thorough. mastery of the
books, whilst his forensic fnrce and eioauence
make him power before Judge and Jury. In
which few, if any of the profession are his
peers. He shows wonderful force of mind
and body for one of his advanced age. The
latter gentleman, Mr.. Travers, who. though
he has been in the active practice in this
Court for about two years, -(since the resciud,
ing OF the lawyers oath, has leaped into a
large and lucrative work, and may be counted
"foeman worthy the steel' of any of his
brother barrasters, however high such NAV
have climbed in, the scale of ability and fame.
Il is not surprising. a gentleman of such
urbanlty of manner, he invites and holds his
clients Joined in this natural charm of
character is classical style and eloquence, all
>ot which based upon profound legel acumeu
and experience makes him a tower of strength
before the Court, in whose hands any cause
may be entrusted with entire safety. Added
to this he is gentleman of high moral in>
tegrfty and life, temperate in his habits, a reg
niar and close nearer Of the Gospel every
Sabbath and for aught know communicate
in the Presbyterian Church, with his mos.
estimable lady.

MYSTERIOUS INFLUENCES.

Persons sometimes feel remarkably well
the appetite is vigorous, sleep sound, with
an alacrity of body and an collaboration ofspirits
which altogether throw a charm over life that
makes us pleased with everybody and every
thing. Next week, tomorrow, in an hour,
a marvellous change comes over the spirit of
the dream the sunshine has gone, clouds por-
tend, darkness covers the face Of the great
deep, and the whole man, body and soul, willis
away like flower without water in midsnm-
mer.
When the weather is cold and clear and
bracing, the atmosphere is full of electricity,
when it is sultry and moist without sunshine,
it holds but a small amont of electricity, COM
paratively speaking and we have to give up
what little we have, moisture being conduc-
tor; thus in giving up instead of receiving
more, as we would from the cool pure air, the
change is too great and the whole man lam
cuisines. Many become uneasy under such
circumstances "they cannot account for it !"
they imagine that evil is impending, and resort
at once to tonics and stimulants. The tonics
only increase the appetite without imparting
any power 10 WORK up the auulIlonai ioou;
thus giving the system more work to do, in
stead of less. Stimulants seem to give more
strength they wake up the circulation, but it
is only temporarily, and unless new supply is
soon taken, the system runs further down
than il would have done without the stimulant !;
hence it is in a worse condition than ifnone had
been taken. The better course would be rest,
take nothing but cooling fruit and berries and
some acid drinks when thirsty, adding, if
desired, some cold bread and butter the very
next morning will bring welcome change

OFFENSIVE BREATH.-For this purpose al
most the only substance that should be adj
mitted at the toilette is the concentrated solu-
ton of chloride of soda. From six to ten
drops vi wineglass full of spring water, to be
taken Immediately after the operations in the
morning are completed. In some cases the
odor arising from carious teeth is combined
with that of the stomach. If the mouth be
well rinsed with teaspoonful of the solution
of the chloride in tumbler Of water, the bad
odor of the teeth will be removed.--Jouraal

A FLOATING GRrNpsToNE.-As every one
knows, the Connecticut river was unusually
high last spring, ana people along the whole
valley were busy catching fiood-wood. Some
people pretend TO say that there is a class who
do not confine themselves to taking Lockwood
alone. At any rate they tell the story Of old
W.. man who shutters, and will be readily
recognized by hundreds Of our readers in the
valley He had good luck and was going homo
with wagon load of drift material, having
also u glindstone aboard. When asked where
he got the grindstonc, he replied with gravity,
sOh, the d-d-d-darn thing came b-b-b-b-bob-
bling down on the f-f-fhood"

MADAM JONES, rArEvr BUsrLE.

Madam Jones, late of Paris, Kentucky, begs
leave to present to the fashionable female COM
munity her Patent Inflated Bustle a secret
and valuable invention. The advantages in.
herent in the Inflated Bustle are such as will
cause it to supersede all the varieties now in
use. It is composed of India rubber, inflated
with gas, and can be refilled by hitching it to
an ordinary burner Rendered thus buoyant,
its desirable qualities are at once apparent
1t can be inflated to any desired extent, and
so is adaptable to all tastes. For the matron-
ly dame of three hundred pounds it can be en-
arged to the size of an ordinary balloon and
for ladies of miniature proportions it can be
reduced at will.
For buoyancy it is all that could be desired.
1t never flattens like newspapers sprawls like
springs, or spills its contents like the sawdust-
stuffed ones, but floats gracefully in the air,
giving the wcarer the airy lightness of bound
ing gazele.
As an ever-ready, self-adjusting cushion, it
is most admirable, being far preferable to the
downiest upholstery or the springiest of spring
chairs.
As an aid to pedestrianism it is unique
Gently lifting the wearer it acts on the prin-
ciple of q propeller wheel to q steamer.
In crossing cutters it is an ever-present
help
In dancing it imparts an elasticity no other
way attainable. BY its aid the fattest dowager
can waltz as lightly as girl of fifteen, with
out exertion or fatigue.
In going up stairs it will be appreciated by
the weakened, and will soon render elevat-
ois useless.
As life reserver it is the most reliable
ever made. Ladies wearing it will float on
the surface like swans, and couldn't sink if
they tried.
As preventive of injuries from falling it
commends itself to the cautious. The force
of a fall is not only broken, but the rebound
will gently place the wearer upon her feet.
For the tender-footed it is just the thing.
It's buoyancy prevents the toes from crowding
into the shoes, and consequently higher heels
may be worn with comfort.
Should the wearer desire to reduce the size
of her panier-upon going, for example, from
the ballroom TO the street or carriage-she
has only to open the valve and allow portion
of the gas to escape to enlarge it she can re-
sort to the nearest gas burner.

THE SPID ER,S BRIDGE.

One chilly day was left at home alone, and
after / was tired reading Robinson Crusoe,
caught spider, and brought him into the
wasn't it? Well, took wash-basin and
fastened up astck in it like liberty pole or
a vessels mast, and then poured in water
enough to turn the mast into an island for my
spider, whom ! named Crusoe, and put on the
mast AS soon as he was fairly cast away, he
anxiously commenced running round to find
the road to the main land. He'd scamper
down the mast to the water, stick out foot,
get it wet, shake it, run round the stick, and
try the other side and then run back up to
the top again.
Pretty soon it became q serious matter with
Mr.. Robinson, and he sat down to think it
over. As in moment he acted as If he want
ed to shout for boat, and was afraid he was
going to be hungry, put little molasses ON
the stick. A fly came, but Crusoe wasn't
hungry for flies just then. He was home-siclS
for his web in the corner of the wood-shed.
He went slowly down the pole to the water,
and touched it all round, shaking his feet like
pussy when she vets her stockings in the
grass, and suddenly thought seemed to strike
him. Up he went like rocket to the top,
and commenced playing circus. He held ono
foot in the air, then another, and turned
around two or three times. lie got excited,
and nearly stood on his head, before | found
cut what he knew, and that was this: that
the draught of air made by the fire would car
ny line ashore on which he could escape from
his desert island. He pushed out web that
went floating in the air, until it caught ON the
table. Then he hauled on the rope until it
was tight, struck it several times to see if it
was strong enough to hold, and walked ashore.
l thought he had earned his liberty, so put
him back in his wood-shcd again--Hearth

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
OF HIS REIlarous Views.

Mrs, Rebecca r. Pomeroy, Of Newton. Mas
sachusetts, writes to the Boston WateAmun
and Register as follows:
was with President Lincoln when the bat
tie Of Vicksburg was raging, and he told me
how many were supposed to he wounded, ana
said he, s'The Lord have mercy on those poor
fellowsl" And then the great struggle Of
Gettysburg, how he walked the floor and said.
This is righteous war, and God will pro-
tect the right ~ And again, when Mrs. Lin
coin fell from the carriage and was taken home
insensible, and he came for me, saying he did
not know how bad the case was, but God knew
best; and while sitting at the dinner table he
could not eat, for he seemed so full Of trouble,
as he said, s'The battle of Port Hudson is now
going ON, and many lives will be sacrificed on
both sides, but have done the best could.
trusting in God-forif they gain this important
point we are lost-and ON the other hand, If
we could only gain it, we shall have gained
much, and think we shall have a great deal
to thank God for, for we have Vicksburg and
Gettysburg already" Said l to this great.
good man, ''Mr. Lincoln, prayer will do what
nothing else will-can you not payp" Eyes,
will" and while the tears were dropping
from his haggard and WORKOUT face, he said,
"Pray for met" and he went alone to his
room and could the nation have heard his
earnest petition, as the nurse did, they would
have fallen on their knees in reyerential SYM
pathy. At twelve o'clock at night, while the
soldiers were guarding the house, the sentinel
riding quickly, halted in front of the house
with telegram, and it was carried up to the
President. In few moments afterward the
door opened, and the President, in his night
clothes standing under the chandelier with
one of the sweetest expressions | ever saw
him wear, said 1sGood news Good news
Port Hudson is ours! The victory is ours
and God is good ~
Said to him, Nothing like prayy in times
of trouble"
Eyes, oh, yes, praise for prayer and praise
go together
Where was your infideity, and what was
there here for effect?
A poor widow came day after day to see the
good man, and she asked me il she could see
the President if she came as early as eight
o'clock in the morning, and he said he would
see her the first one. She told him her sad
story. She was widow, and an only son
killed, and could she go and get his body? In
tones of kindness, he said, '.Gcd will pity yor,
and will give you a note, and if it is possible
you may cross the lines, but l don't think you
cam"

HAPPY CoMPosIToR.-They had the happy
compositor in Easton, Pa, a short time since.
A congregation of the place lost its Clergyman,
and it became the happy compositor's duty to
put in type a tribute to his many virtues. In
this tribute was the sentence, " AS friend after
friend departs, we should reflect that every
man has a portion i'll the grave" and the
happy composition got it, G AS fraud after
fraud departs, we should repeat that heavy
men lose rotations of gravy" The congrega-
ton is now broken up. 1t is broken up into
scouting parties and the parties are after the
happy compositor. They might as well look
for a needle in haystack, however. The
happy compositor is a 'sub." and he is never
to be found after the paper upon which he
has made his mark is issued. We have looked
for him scores of times, fervently believing
he ought to be killed and every time it trans
PRED that he had gone away last night
