MISTREATED HIM.

One day, several years ago, while Ad- dison was sitting in his "garrety room, revising his Cato, he received the follow ing note from Dick Steele: "My darling Addison am in that cavity profanely known as Gehenna's excavation. My morning hours are disturbed by collect ors and my evening moments are made harsh by the footsteps of the man owe. Addison, we have always been good friends. am whig and you are a whig, in this kingdom by the sea-as Edgar Poe will in the future express it. but can't you help me out of this fix"
 Addison had but little money. In fact he owed the groc. 1T, the barber and the candlestick manipulator, but he pawned his gold spurs, his richly orna- mented sword, his silver tea-pot-his all, and raising hundred pounds, sent the sum to his distressed friend. Several days afterwards, when Addison found himself in Steele's neighborhood, he de- cided to go up and see if there were any other way in which he could help his poor friend. As he approached the door leading into Steele's room, he heard music and dancing and sounds only be- fitting the abode of those who felt the weight of many nickels, but halting not he showed open the door and entered Steele, dressed in a suit of tawdry clothes, stood in the middle of the room. On the safa sat young woman with a discolored eye; beside her reclined wo. man with bad teeth while at the right stood women who were not grand-moth- erly in appearance. Dandies and hilari- ous bucks stood around, and upon the whole, the scene was ope of fashion and excessive refinement. When Addison entered, Steele, who had been turning the crank of a musical instrument, arose and said:
 "Hah, here is MT. Addison. We are all glad to see him. Addison, how do you find yourself2"
 Addison was disgusted. He looked at the table, loaded with ham sandwiches and said:
 "I thought, sir, that my donation was intended to keep you from prisonr
 "Correct you are, cully," exclaimed Steele, but now that am out we should enjoy ourselves. Henry" addressing boy, "bring MT. Addison glass of beer. An, my dear essayist, you do not seem to be enjoying yourself. Had to soak your household goods to keep me out, eh Glad to hear it. Fine thing to have friends, Addy-fne thing. Hadn't been for you, would have been in jail. As it is, am giving dinner. Say, can't you lend me seventy-6ve cents ?"
 These are historical facts, yet there are literary historians who say that Addison mistreated Dick Steele.

The old man was an excellent com positor, wonderfully correct and untiring in his efforts to please. All day he would sit on a high stool putting up type with a'regular click. His closest approach to a smile was the grim expression that crossed his face when he bent himself over the case" and coughed with a hollow sound. He kept a bottle of cod liver oil setting on the press, and three times day he would take up the bottle and drink with as much rest, it appeared to me, as though he were imbibing choice wine.
 He slept in the office. One nigh, while we were sitting by the steve, he looked up suddenly and asked:
 "What is your religion2"
 "i do not belong to any church."
 aWhich chur, b do you favor ?"
 T favor them all, for they all point to place of final rest"
 And final hell," said he.
 "Yes, the most of them believe in a hell, though not so strongly, fancy, as they did before education became SC general"
 "Not % much as they did,n he as- sented. "Many of them do not now be- lieve that hell is necessary to salvation, but there must be difference in the treatment of good and bad souls. Sup poe . man, who never harmed any one, should Kill himself2 Do you think his soul would find restpn

Never before or since have seen such excitement in town. It was useless to deny that the note had been written by the curious scribe. but the old man could not have entirely severed his own head from his body, and, even could he have done 90, he could not have placed it on the stone. Why any one should have mur- dered him no one could conceive. Ex- pert detectives came and spent days in looking for clue, but went away puz- zled. Squire Duval declared that the old man had been aided by bad spirits, in the execution of the bloody de sign, yet this, while it may have found ready supporters among people who be- lieved in supernatural agencies, wal ridiculed by the coronor and laughed at by the jury.

It is of myself as an editor that desire to speak. From the time when my recollection seemed to come out of dark closet and fit, like miller, around the candle of newly awakened existence, l have had great fondness for newspapers. My father often said that this predilection for hurried print would send me to the poor-house, but found consolation in the reflection that considerable ingenuity would find long employment in arranging poorer house than that which my father owned.

At differ ent times, many papers of different names, had been issued from the worn hand- press, but waving aside the entire list of back-numbered christenings, preferred to call my sheet the Arkansaw Car FISh. This was surely an odd name-a kind of "odds-6sh name-and it was not, as all ignorant and heartless wag, who never paid his subscription, remarked, in- tended for exclusive circulation among the colored people.
