 DEAR SIR pleasant surprise was given to Widow Crofut, of Taunton, on Tuesday Eve, Nov. 18th. Thirty or thirty-fve of her neighbors and friends, with Mir. Behhet, worthy citizen, as leader, quietly assembled at her house, and her look of utter astoiishment, and bewildermmt, ss they were introduced by him as hls family, gave evidence ei- ther that the surprise was genuine one, or else she was very much aston isbed at theslze of his family. wf
 After quiet was restored and the wid ow was satisfied no harm was meant her she peacefully surrendered all for the evening and after each had been relieved of sunday boxes and baskets the contents of which appeared later in the evening all proceeded to enjoy themselves. But.sfter awhile there seemed to be an uneasy feeling among the men. They were not satisfied. They had come arm ed with saws and axes, ready for any emergency, and after sending out their pickets, word was brought in there was an enemy without in the shape of an un- cut pile of wood; and with rush saws and axes in hand--they went to work with zest no foe could withstand and this one soon had to surrender.F
 While this was going on outside, another party was equally busy in the house, and the bountifully spread table, to which all .were soon invited, wss q renewed evidence of what the Taunton ladies are capabie of doing on such occa- ,'sions The company now adjourned 10 the parlor, and after pleasant time spent in singing some of tue good old Gospel Hymns, all returned to their homes with the feeling that the evening had been an enjoyable one to them, and, if one might judge from appearances, to the widow, aleo

Parson RrownIow on Himself.

Ihave been a laboring man all my
life long, and have acted upon the Scrip
tural maxim of eating my bread in the
sweat of my brow. Though a southern
man in feeling and principal, l do not
think it degrading to a man to labor,
as do southern disunionists. Whether
east or west, north or south, L recognize
the dignity of labor, and look forward
to the day, not far distant, when edu-
Gated labor will be the salvation of this
vast country! 1 am known throughout
the length and breadth of the land as
the "Fighting Parson," while I may
say, without mourning the charge Of
egotism, that no man is more ~peaceable,
as my neighbors will testify. Always
poor, and always oppressed with securi-
ty debts, few men in my section and of
my limited means have given away
more in the course Of each year to chari-
table objects. 1 have never been ar
raigned in the church for immortality.
1 never played a card. / nev was a
p~rofane swearer l never drank Il dram
of liquor, until within a few years, when
it was taken as a medicine. L never
had a cigar or chew of tobacco in my
mouth. / never was in attendance at a
theatre. never attended a horse race
and never witnessed their running ave
ON the fair grounds of my own county.
l never courted but one woman, and
her I married. I am about 6 feet high,
and have weighed as high as 175 pounds
have had as fine a constitution rs any
man need desire. L have very few gray
hairs in my head, and, although rather
ha~rd-favored than otherwise, / will
pass for a man of 40 years. l have had
as strong a voice as any man in East
Tennessee, where | have resided for the
last thirty years, and have a family of
seven children. From an autobiograph-
ical sketch in 1862.

h Human Face.

The countenance of every nation de-
fines the characteristics of its people.
Every human face indicates the moral
training as well as the temperament
and ruling traits Of its owner, just as
much as every human form indicates
the quality and amount of its physical
exercise. This is proven by the variety
of human faces everywhere visible.
Those whose lives have been given to
physical labor, unbrightened by and
education of ideas, have always a stolid
stupid expression, eve while their
limbs and muscles are splendidly devel-
oped. The more savage the people, the
uglier they are in facial development.
The very features of their faces are dis
figured by violent and ungoverned pas
sions. People whose employments are
intellectual .have invariably a large,
clear gaze, a bright %outraying express
sion, as if from an inward light shining
through n vase. Where a fine organi-
zation and deep %sensibility accompany
practice of intellectual pursuits, often
the features take on n transparent lum-
inous look. Persons endowed with
powerful s%ensibility, however plain
their features, always have moments
of absolute beauty.

famous speech Of Brutus, on the death
of Caesar, as rendered by Shakespeare,
is made to do service in this amusing
traversity. sHear us for our debts,
and get ready that you may pay; trust
us, we have need, as you have long
been trusted; acknowledge your indebt-
ness, and dive into your pockets, that
you may promptly fork over. If there
be anyamongyou-one singlepatron-that
don't W us anything, then to him we
say: Step aside, consider yourself a
gentleman. If the rest wish to know
why we dun them, this is IL answer:
Not that we care about ourselves, but
our creditors do. Would you rather
that we went to Jail, and you go free
than that you pay your debts and keep
us moving? AS we agreed, we have
worked for you, as We contracted, we
have furnished the paper to you. Here
are agreements for job work, contracts
for subscription, promises for long
credit, and duns for deferred payment.
Who is there so green that he don't
take a paper? If any, he need not
speak, for we don't mean him. Who

don't pay the printers. If any, let him
speak, for he's the man weare after"

The Senior Exhibition.

The exhibition of the Senior Glass of
the Academy, which usually occurs at
the close of the first ten weeks of the
term, was held Friday evening, having
been deferred two weeks on account of
the gospel meetings. The exercises
were of good character and presented
quite variety in topics and general
treatment, while most were delivered
with much ease and naturalness of
manner. Only few of the large num-
Der in the class were represented in the
parts, but though the exercises were
long as whole, the interest of the au-
dience which was large one, was well
retained. The quartette enlivened the
programme with their music though it
has suffered somewhat in the loss of
some last year members. A colloquy
on Etiquette, and the discussion of the
Russian question, seemed to be the
most prominent features of the pro-
gramme in the estimation of many, as
displaying in some of the participants
unusual ability. The papers read by
Miss Agnes Fairbanks and Miss Nellie
Clark, were of marked merit, although
the latter was given in too low a voice
to be well heard.
