SELF1DEN1AE-WH.4T CAME or III.

Tie following interesting account of the
results of a little self-denial is from the pen
Of the late Horace Mann:
/ once knew ydung man who, on rcmov-
ing from the-country to the city, was intrc-
ducedFto very respectable circle Of persons,
about his own age, who were in the habit of
meeting periodically,fqr the ncpinad purpose,
at least, of Conversation and social improve
melit. ~Butany loolxer-on at theif symposia
might not have been deemed nncharitab1e had
he supposed that the suppefs the wine and
tic cigars constituted hepriucipal attraction.
He became one Of their nuaberf and for a
time enjoyed tho hilarity and Shared the ex-
pensef Of the Entertainments bht, being at
lastrebnkcdb BY his conscience for this mode
Of spending both time and money, he quietly
Withdrew from the club, though without
abandoning .hissintimacyS with IFS members.
Through one of their number he learned
the average cost of Their sqppers and taking
lanlequal sum from his own scantily filled
purse, Inc laid it aside is o fund for charity
At She sAdsof single season he found himself
III posstssion ofsa hundred dollars, wholly
made up of these sums saved from genteel
dfAipation..s Ehis amount be took to poor
Int most exemplary family, consisting of
aAwidows and several small children, all of
whom were struggling as for life, and against
a series Of adverse circumstances, to main
tain show of responsibility, and to provide
the means of attending the public Schools.
The bestownent of this sum upon the dis
heartened mother and the fatherless children,
together with the sympathy and counsel that
accompanied 1t, seemed to put new heart in
to the bosoms of them all It proved tho
turning point in their fortunes. Some small
debts were paid, tho necessary school books
and few articles of decent clothing were OBJ
tanned, the children sprang forward to their
studies, equaling or outstripping all their
competitors, and at the present time they are
all among the most respectable, exemplary
and useful citizens in the State.

A Suggestion of Economy and Reform.

Many extremely Jealous advocates of
reform and economy in the public SER
vice have developed in the House during
the last day or two, and it is suggested to
to those who are at the
head Of the prominent Committees where
e1travagance can be readily checked-that
there is room for the exercise of the vir-
tues they e1tol in the various departments
here, whose clerks and other officers are
furnished with horses and carriages at
public expense. The Secretary Of the
Treasury has, for instance, carriage and
span of horses; the Appointment Clerk of
the Treasury Department has q carriage
and horse. The Superintendent of the
Treasury Building-an officer unknown to
the law-has carriage, q buggy and a
horse; the Supervising Architect has =
has a carriage and horse; the Treasurer
has horse and carriage the Superinten-
dent Of the Bureau Of Engraving and Print
ing has carriage; each Of the Assistant
Secretaries has horses, carriages and d1iv-
ers. All these horses and carriages are
bought by the Government and kept At pub
lie expense. sThere is . stable just below
the Treasury building, which is used for
this purpose, and . superintendent of STA
bles, who has charge Of the concern, is
employed and paid $500 per .nnum, and
assistants are furnished him at 81 per day,
cash. There are seven men who do moth
ing but drive these virtuous officials about
in Government vehicles, who are on the
rolls Of the Department At $50 per month
each. The other Departments Of the Gov
ernment are not suffering for transpozta-
tion facilities. The Attorney General has
three horses and two carriages, with driv-
ers and footmen, who are paid 40 messen-
gers. The Secretaries Of War, Navy, and
the Interior, and the Postmaster-G General
are likewise furnished with public convey
ances for themselves and families. while all
their principal subordinates are equally
well supplied with horsehesh. A little
might be saved BY looking into the matter,
and prohibiting the application Of sppro-
priations to the purpose Of Furnishing
horses and vehicles who have no shadow Of
legal right to them.-Wash. Da.

An Additional Verse for POe's Bells.

The other evening at a sceUnee Of spirit
ualists in Hastings, Minnesota, Edgar A
Poe, the great American poet, announced
himself as present. Among other Ques
tions, he was asked which one Of the goot
things of this life he missed most in hi!
new abode. His answer, to the great sur
prise Of his interviewers, was, ga good
square NEAL He added that he had not hao
too many of them while alive, but that since
his transfer to the spirit-world his ETHEREAL
stomach had been perfectly disgusted with
the light diet to which it was subjected
and that while making a meal the other
day off gentle zephyr, favored with the
breath of roses, his imagination had long
ingly reverted to the last roast turkey he
had enjoyed on earth, and that he had
thereupon composed the following addition
al verse to his Bells.'' He added, with
suppressed raps and with long pauses be-
tween the words, that " there was nothing
in the spirit world equal to roast turkey )"
and in the silence which followed pecul-
lar sound was heard which the medium
said was the smacking Of Poe's ghostly
lips over the recollections Of "the royal
bird.' The verse is as follows, and we
trust our readers will accept the moral of
the poem, especially in this holiday season,
which is, to take all the comforts out of
this life they possibly can.
THE DINNER BELLS.
Hear the glorious dinner bells,
Copper, silver, golden bells,
Sympathetic dinner bells;
What a world of satisfaction,
Their melody foretells.
And the turkey, smoking hot,
From the dark ambrosal pot,
Crammed with sweetness till it swells,
And it smells! oh it smells,
As if an angel dwells
In the circumambient air;
And from irridescent WINGS
Der the loaded table filings,
Paradisial odors rare,
Filling, thrilling all the air.
While it smells! oh! it smells,
Smells, smells, SMELLS
Smells smells, SMELLS
As if the saints forgiven,
Through the open gates of heaven,
flung the beaming, cleaning,
Streaming,
Light OF Eden rare;
through the circumambent air,
Everywhere!
1T may be objected that this verse is
hardly equal to the rest of Poe's poetry,
but allowances must be made for the light
diet on which it was produced. EDITOR

From the Green Bay (Wis.) Advocate:
A Novel Lottery.

TWELVE WIDOWERS TAKING CHANCES
FOR ELEVEN WIDOWS.
We referred briefly last week to a
novel lottery which took place at Hol-
land-town, in this county, by which
eleven widows and as many widowers
were mated for matrimonial alliance.
The facts, as We learn from the report
Of "the committee (which report
comes to us signed by IN. Vanden-
burg, Secretary "-are as follows:
It seems that there were residing in
the town eleven widows and twelve wid-
overs. We presume it was member
Of the Benevolent Society who first pro-
posed that the eleven widows should be-
come helpmeets to eleven Of the widow
ers. At least the report says that
thinking it economy to have them
married, and not knowing how to pair
them, a committee was selected to hold
counsel as to the best mode of COUP
ling" It took this committee one
hour to decide as to the method, pend
ing which decision we may believe
there was fluttering among the hearts
Of the widows. It was decided to dis
pose Of them By lot, and consequent
ly," says the report, "the names Of all
the widows were placed in a box and
likewise the names of the widowers."
The drawing took place at 5p. M,
Monday, the 9Th, At which time it was
declared that Mr.. r. Mention should be
married to Mrs. De Bruin, Mr.. M. Men,
ton to Mrs. Wink, Mr.. Bode to Mrs.
Vanderberg, Mr.. Furstenberg to Mrs.
kersten, Mr.. J. W. Wassenberg to Mrs.
Wilde, Mr.. NJ. Verkullen to Mrs. Per-
renboom, Mr.. Weyenberg to Mrs. Hec-
sakker, Mr.. John Kobussen to Mrs.
Tillman, Mr.. L. Tenrusen to Mrs. Van
Doren, Mr.. r. Herremans to Mrs. Rolf,
Mr.. Score to Mrs. Van Bloemer.
The twelfth man is Mr.. D. H. PEN
termann, and although he is doubtless
the happiest in seven counties over the
narrow escape which he had, yet the
committee are casting about for some
means to supply him with partner
advertising that if there are any wid-
ows in the neighboring towns who
would like to take Mr.. Pentermann.
