The Fighting Pars0n.
From Ben Perley Poore's Recollection,

tphi DtA SAiSf IODit b hCCOISCllOilS.
William Gannaway Arowlow, gen
orally known as the Fighting Par
son, was the bravest man who has
occupied seat in the senate during
the fifty years or more that l have
known that body. Born in Virginia,
he learned the carpenters trade, and
worked at the bench until he became
an itinerant preacher among the
Shouting Methodists" of East Ten
nessee. In 1923 he commenced his
political career as a supporter of John
Quincy Adams against Andrew Jack
son, and he was afterwards success
fully Wing, a Native American and
Republican. He upheld slavery,
but he hated and abhorred secession.
Threats could not intimidate him, and
when the rebellion broke out, the bold
enunciation of his union belief drew
upon HIM bitter persecution follow
ed by Imprisonment. When the I'm
ion troops obtained possession of Ten
nessee he was elected Governor and
afterwards United States Senator He
was paralyzed before he could take his
seat in the Senate chamber, and his
tongue was dumb during his term of
service. But the old fires still burned
and his vote, given by an affirmative
or negative shake of his head, will be
recorded on every extreme measure.
Tall and thin, his face was dark and
smooth, and there were but few silver
threads in his intensely black hair
His aspect was sepulchral, and he
rarely, if ever, laughed. He prided
himself on never having played a
card, drank dram of liquor, smoked
a cigar, attended theater, or ceurted
but one woman, and her he married.
He left several children, one of whom
now holds clerkship in Washington
City.

A pretty story is told in a late issue
of the New York Tribune A feeble
old lady, poorly clad, got into street
car and let a nickel drop, which she
had just received from the conductor
in change. The piece fell in between
the gratings and the floor and after a
Snort search was given up as lost-the
old lady too feeble to make the extra
assertion necessary to recover it. As
she settled back in her seat with a
sigh of regret, a gentleman opposite
stopped down. and affecting to pick up
the missing coin, reached over and
placed something In her lap. He then
pulled the bell and got out. AS the
old lady discovered the presence of a
gold coin left By the stranger. gen.
tleman sitting near whispered to her
the name of the donor. He is one of
the best known philantnropists in New
York, and the member of a famil Y
noted far and wide for its countless
good deeds.

IN THE LONG Run. 4

In the long run fame finds the deserving man;
The lucky weight may prosper for day,
But in good time true merit leads the van,
And vain pretense, mnoticed, goes its way.
There is no chance no destiny, no fate,
But fortune smiles on those WHO work an
wait,
In the long run
In the long run all godly sorrow pays,
There Is no better thing than righteous pain
The sIeepless nights. the awful crowded days
Bring sure reward TO tortured soul and brain.
Unmeaningly joys enervate in the end,
But sorrow yields glorious dividend
In the long run.
In the long run all hidden things are known;
The eye of truth will penetrate the night,
Add good or i'll, thy secret shall be known,
However well tits guarded from the light.
All the unspoken motives Of the breast
Are fathomed for years and stand confessed
In the long run.
In the long run all love is paid by love,
Though undervalued by the hearths OF r3'th,
The great eternal government above
Keeps strict account and will redeem ITS work
Give thy love freely, do not count the cost:
So beautiful thing was never lost
In the long run.

Demand for Stamped Envelopes.

Some complaints have been made at
the Post Office Department owing to
the delay in furnishing stamped en-
velopes of the new denomination. The
demand has been so enormous that
the stamp division. under which this
work falls in the Post Office Depart
ment, has been working early and
late. and the Stamped Envelope
Agency at Hartford, Conn, has been
running day and night ever since the
18th day of September. acquisitions
for these new stamped envelopes have
been crowded in on the department,
and these acquisitions in turn have
choked the factory, and the public
the public must exercise little pa
thence in the filling of their orders.
There have been during the last forty
five working days Ia, 900 acquisitions
for stan. ps. envelopes, etc, sent to the
agency, representing value of over
g. O0O. 900. Each requisition has TO
be duly registered, and the increase Of
work has caused clerks from other bu-
reaus to be detailed to assist the stamp
division. Another feature of this
change of denomination in letter rates
is that the old Scent stamp and envel-
opes must be redeemed and destroyed
as the public will not have them A
postage-stamp and stamped envelope
represent very small quantity, but
it is estimated that there will proba-
bly, be over 10000, 600 of both kinds
to be redeemed. The Post Office De
partment is at a loss to know what TO
do with them. There is not enough
vacant space in the department. The
Postmaster General will probably ask
Congress as soon as it eonyenes for
an appropriation to enable him to rent
quarters to house this immense amount
of property. 1t was suggested that
the upper part of the city Post Office
be utilized, but it is deemed insecure

the movement SO auspiclously lnan-
guarated would prove the death blow
to the woltiSh demon of indulgence,
who had dared to invade SO many

The committee on solicitation of

They called in body upon the mer-

clans and public officials, who can
never deny call upon their
purses; and before many days
there was handsome fund TO the
credit of Mrs. Elinor Gushingsby
Choggum. the treasurer, in the bank.
The committee on inquiry into the
causes of local Indulgence were active,
too, and visited much in the parts of
the city where atilueuce never hung
out a sign. 1t really seemed that the
"wolfsh demon of indigence' had for
once met his match The death-blow
was evidently impending over his de

were many and her Kind words, her
assistance to this one in getting work,
