A Hotel at uarpers Ferry

A correspondent of the Boston Commercial
Bulletin, writing from Harper's Ferry, says
Heavens! how dirty the morning light
showed that room to be The accumulated
filth OF years was all over 1t, on the ceiling,
on the walls. on the floor, ON the patched
and frayed rag-carpet, on the rickety furni-
ture, on the coarse and greasy bedding.
We descended to the little red room used
as an Office. There was a miserable old
top of desk In one corner resting upon n
dry-goods box. Both hinges were broken
off as we found upon opening 1t for stationery.
No paper was found, and the only signs. of
ink were the many stains of what had been
spilled in former years.
We called the old negro who kept the es.
tablshment and asked for sheet of paper
and an envelope. 1t would have been Just
rs well to have asked for piece of tho
moon-hc had none. Our letters we wrote
on scrap of note book, aud envelopes we
succeeded in finding at the post office.
The office room throughout was more dirty
than tho room in which we had s.spt. The
floor was thick with the mud tracks of years
An old lounge, or settee was almost tho ouly
seat, and this was also thick with dirt. In
short tho room was bare, aud almost empty
of everything but dirt. We settled our recli-
oning with the old darkey, a mcagre sum, but
it satisfied him, and we considered that it
sufficiently paid for the accommodations.
We got away from the hotel speedily, hav-
ing breakfased with poor appetites. Tho
food was miserable. The negro waiter was
apparently half asleep. We soon found that
everybody and everything in Harper's Ferry
was in the same condition.

CannibaIs Keepins Lent.

One of the Paris papers tells au edifying
story appropriate to the Lenten season, the
incident it relates being perhaps the most
gratifying tribute ever rendered to the pros
elytizing power of q christian missionary,
though the good man was not exactly in
condition to appreciate the value OF the
compliment paid to his teaching. He had
lived for several months among q tribe of
savagcs, when unhappily the necessaries
of life ran short, and, as he was plump
subject, ho was killed and roasted. The
hungry tribe gathered round the dish to
man, each holding out II leaf in place of n
plate, eager to relish the holy fathers flavor,
when, just as the chiefs knife was about to
cut the first slice, q solemn voice called out,
Lot us not forget that this is Friday" The
knife dropped from the chiefs hand, and,
turning to the impatient crowd, he
said ave must not break the fast my
children; the banquet is postponed till to-
morrow" And all went away filmished, but
resigned to the strict discharge of the duty
in which they had been so well instructed.
