An Editors Dream.

Once upon time an editor dreamed

answered his summons. The gate rn.
manned hermeticallv sealed against
him. Then he cried aloud for admit

OF heads appearing above the wall Oh
the other side of the gate. At sight of
him the owners of the heads set up a
dismal howl and one of them cried:
"Why didn't you notice that big egg
gave you" AT this horid and most un-
expected interrogation, the poor local
turned in the direction of the voice TO
learn its owner, when another voice
shricked: where's that piece Won

sons hens, and never speak of NV new

to frame TO this appeal was cut short by
the astonishing query: "Why did Won

The miserable man turned TO flee. when
he was rooted TO the ground by these
terrible demands: "Why did Won mt

CHAPTER II.

Tom Halliday was copying clerk and
messenger in the Office of Messrs.
Sharpe Il Floyd. He was Just two
a capital appetite and earned eighteen
shillings week. which till lately had
sufficed for his moderate needs. We
say till lately, for, some months previ-
ously, Tom had, in rash moment, fall
EN- in love, which he found to lead him
into extravagant outlay in pomatum
and neckiies, and II various ways to
constitute a considerable tax on his
modest resources. His sweetheart was
the daughter of q worthy widow, who
was caretaker or "laundress" of Ger.
tain house of Chancery Lane, in which
Mes-rs. Sharpe Il Floyd had rented
Offices. Hence Toms acquaintance
with Mrs. MOyse and her daughter
Bessie Moysc worked as a milliner at d
shop in Regent street, and il was al
understood thing that when Tom and
she had saved money enough to furnish
two rooms they were to be married
but as in the course of six months theil
united savings only amounted TO five
and-ihirty shillings aud some odd cop
pers, their engagement appeared likely
TO be rather long one. On Saturday
afternoons the young people were il

tradition that Uncle Keckwidge ha(
been rather q fascinating dog in histiay
but he was now very iniirm. not to sal

rule, understood little or nothing o
what was going on around him; bu

PITTsDURe, April 15.-During the sum
mer of 1875 Benjamin Singerly, Esq, for a
number Of years State Printer and proprie-
tor of "The State Journal" died sudden
ly at his residence this city. Mr.. Singerly
was very heavy man, weighing 803
pounds. Six professional pall-bearers were
present at The funeral to guard against ac-
cident. The casket was of walnut, seven
feet three inches long by three feet wide,
and was placed in heavy stone box,
securely fastened. Some months since, the
relatives in Philadelphia concluded to have
the remains removed to Laurel Hill Come
terry, where his parents and friends are
buried. The work of raising thebody was
commenced, and to the surprise of those
who had undertaken the job, no offensive
odor prevailed as they approached the cas-
ket. An effort was made to raise the body,
but this was found almost impossible on
account of the extraordinary weight. Still
greater was the surprise at this, and it was
decided to raise the lid of the casket. I'M
agine their amazement upon finding that
the body had undergone petrification, and
assumed the color of common brown store
paper. The entire face and form seemed
one entire mass of stone chiseled from
the block. Not one of the features or
lineaments, except the eyes, which were
sunken, were out of place, or unnatural
in the slightest degree. Even the shirt,
coat, boots and pants were intact. The
,semains were then placed in a stout casket
for transportation, when it was found the
weight was 9s5 pounds. They were ship
ped to Philadelphia per Adams Express,
and inferred by the relatives Immediately
upon arrival there.
