L'AUTO-

In the hush of the Winter midnight
In the hush of the sleeping house
When no weird wind stirs the gloomy fire
The spirits of storm to rouse.
When never CLINT of moonlight
Cleans from the great black sky,
By the red fires glow, as it shoulders low,
We crouch, my letters and l.
My letters they lie where l tossed them,
On the crimson hearthrug there,
Still, vivid and bright, in the ruddy light,
As cobias in their lair.

That burns and throbs SO fast,
Thinking the while with a strange, dull
smile,
OF the task | must do at last.
Who knows, but 7. the comfort
Those foolish letters have been?
The depth and scope-the strength and
hope
OF those "leaves' that are always
green?''
Who knows, but I, how sadly,
Tomorrow, and my dream,
BY the ashes gray will weep and say,
"Woe's me for that vanished CLEAN.
1.-THE CLEAN of idle gladness,
The glimmer of memories bright,
That hid each line of those letters Of mine
Those letters burn to- night -
All well! the dream was folly;
Its joy was an idle thing,
Its hope was lie, and its loyalty
Died of a whispers sting.
So kiss-the last-to my letters,
A resolute hand, and-there,
Do the sad dark eyes of my Paradise
Meet mine through the fierce flame s
fare?

fashionable, "show the Centennial spirit.
That gold braid mania has subsidized.
And yet there are many ladies who, with
the Grand Duchess, dote ON the military.
Mrs. Patriot went to the Centennial

Spanged Banner. Somebody attempted

.T The coordination evening CO.'S
tunes" as they are called, are carried to
ridiculous extremes. The newest and
incest of materials are blended or rather
combined with all the old buds and bits
and ends one has had lying about the house
for the last five and twenty years. The
effect is supposed to be what lofty youths
call Stunning" but to canddly tell the
ladies how they look would doubtless anger
them. The following is good receipt for
tune" Take your last years party dress
and put in a front breadth of some inhar-
monious color. Then put on a number of
rutfles of some cheap bright silk, taking
care to have the places where the piecing
is done come behind. Simulate an over
skirt in front by some old lace of your
mothers and have court train of velvet
remnants all puckered, ruff1ed and mussed
up, to prevent detection of patchwork; sew
on flowers, ribbons, parlor ornaments, bits
of velvet, pearl beads and gew-gaws wher-
ever an unoccupied place can be found.
Over all this pin on a borrowed white lace
shawl with the ends falling behind. Then
sew ON strips of Cardinal red, sky blue and
pea green gros grain and add few glass
trinkets. Then sit for your photograph,
and in after years show the picture to those
sane people who it is hoped, will go to
make up the next generation!

that evening by Jefferson Ramsey. Mr..
Ramsey being a Presbyterian, stood dur
ing his prayer, after which q hymn was
sung, and Mr.. X. asked Robert Kerr to
lead in prayer. Mr.. Kerr replied: " Icant
do it,; IneCer could pray standing." All
then knelt and Mr.. Kerr prayed. Port has
held some very pleasant camp meetings
there. The writer attended one held there
about 1850. Among other distinguished
ministers who attended, was Rev. Billy"
Barnes, the famous Irish orator. The
school house was used for the preachers
sleeping quarters. One night number of
them were discussing the separation of the
church, North and South, and some severe
course some of the leading Southern preach
ers were pursuing. Mr.. Barnes had retired
and was thought to be sleeping; suddenly
he rose up in his bed and called the writer
to his side, then said: :" Brother, do you
hear those Methodist preachers backbiting
their Southern brethren Now | tell you
what | want-a convention of Methodist
laymen as well as preachers, and when
from the North and the South, the East
and the West, we shall have assembled on
one common platform, ice u Doc the DerI 8
jars and bid him stand aside, while We
enter into fraternal combination that
shall as:onish all HE'LL" At an advanced
age Mr.. Barnes married young couple
(under age in Philadelphia. He was prose-
cuted for it in the civil courts, and the
excitement was so great that he fell dead
of palpitation of the heart.
Battle Swamp tavern was kept and owned
by Capt. Taylor, who afterwards removed
to his farm near Principle Furnace, after
wards by Theo. H. Knight, James McNey,
Thomas Taylor and others since. 1t was
a famous place for such sports as usually
attend country taverns. While "Tom y
Taylor kept the house, traveller on his
way to Port stopped for refreshments.
Calling for whisky, he put the glass to his
nasal organ, then set it on the counter,
asked the price and paid for it. He then
said: Landlord, am going to Port De-
post, and expect to return this way this
afternoon, if you will drink the whisky in
that glass, and l find you living when
return, | will stand treat for the house"
Taylor often told this joke on himself as
evidence of the unauthorized strength of
his whisky.
The Swamp must be my outer circle, or
l shall find no stopping place. To all out
side and beyond the circle l am drawing.
l make respectful bow, and beg to assure
them that | could call them all by name,
and give many pleasant recollections of my
associations with them.
Mr. Editor, have you noticed in my
former letters, my predisposition to stop
when got to hotel?
| did intend in this letter to "swing
round the circle;' but commenced with
an incident connected with this "pint,"
and l believe l will call this halfway
house, and proceed from here in my next
letter. Yours truly, GUYAs CUTAs.

WHY THE SUN-DIAL FAILED.-Old Mills,
the optician of New Castle, sold a sun dial
to Pitman few weeks ago, with the assur-
ance that it was a reliable time keeper.
About one fortnight afterward Pitman
called at the shop and said:
essay, Mills, that sun-dial amt worth a
cent. It's no good time piece, any way"
May be you haven't got it fixed in a
good place." said Mills.
eyes, l have" replied Pitman, "but
tell you it wont work. There must be
something wrong about it."
Ono, it's in perfect order" said Mills
"Did you ever time it by your watch?"
Certainly | did. I've stopped close to
it n hundred times exactly at even hours,
and the cussed thing has never struck the
time once
"Merciful Moses - Why, you didn't
expect it to strike the hours, did you /?
thunder. Why it don't strike of course.
1t has no works inside.''
"That's what gets me- said Pitman
1t amt got no insides, how's it going to
go?"
Mr.. Pitman where have you located that
sun-dial? In the garden %
"Garden? Be gracious, no, What do
| want with time-piece in the garden ?
It's hung in the sittin' room against the
WALL
Then Mills explained it to him, and Pit
man has since traded the sun-dial for a
dollar clock.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
InY IELEGKApH Io rHE TRIRUNE.l


WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The death of Speaker
Kerr was so long looked upon as likely to occur at
any moment that no surprise was expressed here
when the sad event was made known last night.
He has for years been great sufferer, and during
the past II months has not known moment that
was wholly painless. No could have borne bis
terrible suffering with more cOmposure and fortl-
tude and none could have presented an outward
appearance of more serenity and patience. He was
well known in Washington, and his gentleneSs OF
nature, his unobtrusive manner, his tenderness OF
heart and lis simplicity of life made him loved and
respected to a degree rarely attained by our public
men. His late associates speak of him with great
affection and mourn his departure from among them.
A number of them will remain in town to pay their
last homage to their friend, and many will
accompany the remains to Indiana. Mr.. Sayler and
Clerk Adams left for Rockbridge Springs this
evening and all arrangements possible to be made
in the absence of Sergeant-at-arms Thompson, who
is in New-York, WILDE attended to. Mr.. Sayer will
urge upon Mrs. Kerr and young Mr.. Kerr the pro-
priety of biinging the body TO Washington and
allow il TO rest in state in the Rotunda of the Capi-
tol for one day. He will also endeavOr to have a
committee of members attend informally and Will
himself go with the remains TO Indiana.
