"THE RoosIAEs AND TIE T1RKs."-
We have often wondered when reading Of
the Affections with which Job was troub.
led il he was in the newspaper business.
He was certainly one Of the most patient
Of men under atiliction, but as a general
rule editors are nearly even with him,
and it cannot be wondered that they some.
times lose patience. Our trouble for a
long time has been poets, pretty much in
the same way as David Copperfeld' 8 aunt
was troubled with donkeys. AT small
trouble and very little expense we pro.
cured a stuffed club and dedicated It TO
poets, and for time we really thought il
had n beneficial effect in keeping them at
bay. But after a lull Of almost unpre.
cedented duration, another versiier has
come to liz. His theme is neither love,
murder or suicide, butWAR with It's grim
visaged front, and from all places in the
world We Jleast expected it, Bridgeport |!
The poet has been reading the war dis.
patches, and thinks he has got of a good
thing on what he styles 1.-THE Roosians and
the Tirks," for that is the titleof his yer.
ses. -Four sheets Of letter paper are con.
sumed in. giving vent to his muse, and
worse doggerel it would be impossible to
conclusive, for it ha8 neither rhyme,
reason, or measure. Here is sample
verse:
"Thc RooSlGn bear came out to Ate
With Co.sack hors man on the wing.
sayAgey the Turk he met the aHault
And replied with cannon, shot md khell
The proud invader bit tho dust
Hurled back from PleVna."
This genius, it is clear, was never born
10 shine as q poet, and we would advise
him 10 so and get his head shaved.

A Cautions BRIDEGROOM.

| The day it rained so hard, about ten days
| ago, there came in, on the Greenville road,
young man and young woman on one
horse, the lady wearing white silk bonnet
and other bridal paraphernalia, and the
gentleman wore his best. Both were drip
ping wet DR.. A. M. Henkel, Of No. Is, W est
Frederick street, came into his Office about
noon, and found them drying by the fire,
doctor, this young gal wants to con-
suit with you, and [ want to know how
her health is. We're going to be married.
Is her chiss all right.'
The doctor sounded the chest of the
blushing young lady, and pronounced that
her lungs were quite sound.
''All right in the chiss," remarked the
lover, who had been looking on with the
air of a connoisseur. ''How's her head?"
The doctor said that unless there was in
sanity in the family her head was doubt
less clear.
ASK her some questions" demanded
the practical sweetheart.
The doctor asked her about headaches,
and found the answers satisfactory.
sAll right in the head - remarked the
Assistant Inspector General, and then
taking the doctor off in a corner: sHow
bout her back? She's got to work 'en
help out On the farm
The doctor said that the lady's general
health was good, and there was hardly any
use Of further inquiry.
ASK her sqme questions," said the
groom.
The doctor said there was no use Of
quest IONS, and that he might safely rest
assured that the lady's back was unques-
tlonably good
The groom. seemed satisfied and more
cheerful, and went on to tell the doctor
that they were from Amherst, near the
Nelson line, and had come ifty-one miles
since the day before, both On one horse.
They were to be married next day. They
then mounted the horse and departed.
Suppose every man that was going to be
married-but perhaps we ought not say
that.

Strangers at the Y. M. g. A.

Last Sunday afternoons meeting was
unusually interesting, in consequence of
the visit of number of the Episcopal
| Council. The chapter of the day was Acts
4Sth, which by singular coincidence
| contained an account Of the Pentecostal
visitation, commemorated by the Episco-
palians that day, Whit Sunday. Rev. Frank
| SWoope and Rev. James Grammer, of JEFF
| ferson, made some remarks.
Rey. T. F. Martin, of Berryville, said
the Episcopal church, the largest in that
place, was filled by the meetings of the Y
NJ. C. Association Of Clarke co. A work @
grace had commenced there. Going into
the bank the teller, weeping, asked him to
pray for him. On the street young lady
handed him note, written on it, "Mr.
Martin pray for my soul for Jesus sake. -
Rev. Mr.. McBryde, Chaplain of the Uni
versity of Virginia, spoke of the religious
interest among the students. Prayer meet
ings, numbering from three to six atten-
dants. go Oh all oyer the University every
night. Some of the students walk 8 to -
miles through all weather to conduct Sun
day schools and prayer meetings in the
Ragged Mountains.
Col. Jno. M. Patton, of Louisa, said
what he hadheard had warmed him up, ard
he must say something He said minis
ter, after canvassing Albemarle county,
told him there was not room for another
Sabbath school there the ground being
fully occupied. Col. P. didn't think that
could be said of another county in the
country. He begged his hearers not to be
discouraged by failures. "We are all SIN
ners," said the Colonel, land cannot be
perfect. st. John and st. Paul were sin
Eers; Bishop Whittle was sinner, and my
friends, DR.. Hoge, Of the Presbyterian
Church, and DR.. Duncan, Of the Metho-
dist Church, were sinners, too. We need
not aim at perfection. If we will only do
our best all will be well.''
Mr.. Charles Grattan spoke Of the cheer
ing news they had heard this evening, and
called for the long-metre doxology, which
was sung with much heartiness.
Capt. VIM. A. McCue thanked the visi-
tors for their words Of encouragement, and,
some time after the usual hour. the As
ISOLATION was dismissed with the Apostolic
benediction by Rev. Mr.. Grammer.

alton, which was carried. MI. S. Brow
Allen then read the preamble and resolu
lions one by one and they were adopted IN
til they struck the 5th, which Capt c. B
Koner asked might. be explained.
The Chair called on MI. Geo. Searigh
to explain, which he did, though not to thu
= to know more about 1t. 1t was finally pu
to the vote, and carried with a large mum
Der of hayes against it.
The funding bill resolution was alst
stuck at, but was carried by divided
vote. The preamble and all the resolu
lions, except those named, were passed
without dissent.
THE SENTIMENT OF THE MEETING.
A running debate on the resolutions tool
place. Mr.. Sam1 Pillson said he must in
sist on an explanation of the Funding Bill
resolution, for if it meant reputation hi
could not vote for it.
Mr.. Seawrlght said that in old times it
was a custom for our representatives tt
give an account Of their stewardship. but
that custom had fallen into disuse, and
now we are not beholden to them, nor did
we get much from the local press. The re-
ment as to put both classes of bond-hold-
ers on the same footing. Why should they
limit the operation Of the law to the twenty
millions
MI. A. M. Bowman asked if it was not
the friends Of adjustment" who stopped
the funding at the twenty millions. He
asked what Mr.. S. proposed to do about
the $4,000, 900 of West Virginia
Mr.. S. said he did not know why.
Mr. Ligbtner thought Mr.. Seawright's ex-
PLANTATION of the clause unsatisfactory. He
(Mr. L. was in the legislature, when the
funding bill was passed, and voted to place
all bonds on the same footing. He was then
called an opponent of the bill.
Mr.. Seawright thought as farmers they
ought not to commit themselves for or
against liquidation. All private debts
ought to be paid, but self-preservation is
the first law of nature loud applause].
The Chair (Mr. Berry, thought that it
was only the tax receivable coupons por-
ton Of the funding bill that needed re-
adjustment.
SENTIMENTS OF THE PARTICIPANTS.
AS the resolutions do not point very
clearly to any fnality or suggest any mode
of settling the debt question, we conversed
with some of the members to learn their
views.
''Your resolutions DOM mean repudia-
ton, do they ?''
mo! We don't intend to repudiate. and
1 dent want to hear the word.''
''Well, what is your idea ?"
"Well we intend to have the legislature
offer the creditors to pay what we can"
'And if they won't take less than what
their bonds call for %
''Then We won't pay 'em any. By George
they shan't have cent!''
'sAnd you don't call that reputation %
"You can call it anything you like, that's
what we are going to do"
Another member was questioned
elbow will you get rid of it if the bond
holders won't compromise ?''
