All. so FAIR.

A Nashville paper describes the ''only
young man" in Fayetteville as follows
s'He was yonng, he was fair, and he
parted his hair, like the average beau,
in the middle; he was proud, he was
bold, but the truth must be told, he
played like a fend on the fiddle But,
aside from this vice, he was everything
nice, and his heart was so loving and
tender, and he always turned pale when
when he trod on the tail of the cat ly-
ing down by the fender. He clerked in
store, and the way that he tore off
calico, jeans, and brown sheeting, would
have tickled calf and made the brute
laugh in the face of aquarterly meeting.
He cut quite dash with darling mus
tache, which he learned to adore and
cherish; for one girl had said, while
she drooped her proud head, that 'twould
kill her to see the thing perish On
Sunday he'd search the straight road to
the church, unheeding the voice of the
scorner; and demurely he sat, like a
young tabby cat. with the saints in the
| far amen corner He sang like bird,
and his sweet voice was heard, tuggiDe
away at long metre; and We speak but
the truth when We say that this youth
could outsing a hungry mosquito.

A TRUE INCIDENT.

On reading an excellent article in
your paper of the Both ult., on "Troub-
lesome Minorities." in the hearing of
friend, he related to me an anecdote
printed in a report of st. Stephens
House, Boston. by DIR. T.. NJ. p Wells,
of which not the least merit of the incl
dent is its actual truth.
About eighty years ago. in the rather
noted town of =, In Connecticut,
the people assembled, after the old Pur-
itan fashion, at town meeting. to set
tie new minister Of the standing Or
der" There resided IN that town. at
that time, Mr.. S. who always took an
active part in the religious doings of the
standing order, although he was an in
fdel. At the meeting above-named he
used his utmost exertions in a very
plausible way, not to oppose the settle
ment Of a minister, but to hinder it by
suggesting reason for delay. A young
lawyer, who had recently commenced his
professional life In that town, becoming
completely wearied with the delay and
much talking, dropped his head upon
the rail before him and seemed to fall
asleep. After some time he suddenly
started up and exclaimed
"Mr. Moderator / have just had a
dream, and would like TO tell it if it's in
order.
From all parts Of the assembly the
people responded, "a dream dream
tell"
"Mr. Moderator, | dreamed that |
died and went to hell As | entered
its portal / beheld his satanic majesty
seated in an armchair. He said to me.
"who's coming now ? and where did
you come from ?" '.I'm from =
"what are they doing there?' ''1hey
are settling minister Settling a
minister - Jack, bring me my boots
"while the boots were coming he con.
tinued: Is there no one there to say a
word to oppose /? .-ob, yes; Mr. 5. is
there" .Ah. my friend So Jack,
you needn't bring the boots; he viii dc
Just as veil as if ! was there myself.
II is unnecessary TO enlarge further
on the result They voted TO settle
minister before they adjourned.

MAST INTERVIEWED.

A reporter of the Chicago Times re-
Gently interviewed Thomas Mast, and
found him speechless as a natural result
of his extended lecture tour. Mr.. Mast
however, made out with the aid Of his
crayon to make himself understood, and
a lively conversation was the result.
We quote:
Would you have any objection to be-
ing interviewed, Mr.. Nast?''
A spasm of pain crossed the artists
face for moment. and then rushing to
the bed he divei down under it and
brought out large blackboard. Seiz-
ing a piece of crayon, he vigorously
commenced scratching upon it, and in
few seconds thereporter beheld pros
trate figure of Mast writhing in the
agonies of death. while upon his body
sat six able-bodied men poking him in
the short ribs with lead pencils and note
books. This led the reporter to infer
that Mr.. Mast did not like being inter-
viewed.
Reporter-But why, Mr.. Mast? What
do you think of reporters
The caricaturist here drew pump
with quillist vigorously working the
handle
R.-You think they ask too many
questions. But do they not always tell
the truth in regard to their interviews?
The figure of George Washington
armed with his little hatchet was hastily
sketehed upon the board, and under
meath it the single word Reporter"
RI see you appreciate their verac-
ity. Pray, tell me, do you enjoy Chica-
go?
A picture of boned turkey, champagne.
gin cocktails, and Calumet snipe, fried,
hastily followed.
After remarks as to some local celeb
rites, the conversation proceeded.
R.-Are you meeting with much sue
cess in your entertainments?
A picture of a railway train loaded
with greenbacks and each car ticketed
9TH. Mast" followed.
R.-How much do you expect to make
in Chicago?
A Masonic eye with well-developed
wink was drawn.
R.-Do you really labor from patriot
ism, and do you think President Grant
the modern condensation of Achilles.
Castor and Caesar?
The artist here drew nose that look
ed a great deal like his own, and under
the end of it thumb with four fingers
extended at a wiggle.
RI have been much pleased with
you Mr.. Mast, and should like to know
you more intimately. shall take pleas
ure in calling again. OF course it will
be agreeable to you?
The artist hastily drew number ten
boot, elevated at an angle of forty-fve
degrees, and costly nestled its extremity
under just such coat as the reporter
wore.
Inferring from this that Mr. Mast
would be pleased to see him again, the
reporter refused the kind offer of doz-
en- parquette reserved seat tickets, and
withdrew.
