THAT AMATEUR FLUTE.
[The company all were seated, and the laugh
and jest went retted —light hearted revelers un
conscious of their doom. The executioner er
tered. He bore in his hand a silver flute A
malignant smile lighted up his features. ‘•Ha!
Hal” he said, with fiendish glee, “I will admin
ister unto them an adagio ; not a man shall es
cape.”
Now, therefore this, accompanied with many
apologies to the honored shade of Edgar Allen
Poe:]
Ileai the Hutor with his flute—
Silver flute;
Oh, what a would of wailing is awakened by its
toot I
How it demi-senti quavers
On the maddened air of night!
And defieth all endeavors
To escape the sound or sight
Of the flute, flute, flute,
With its toot, toot, toot—
Witn reiterating footings of exasperating toots,
The long protracted tootleings of agonizing toots
Of the flute, flute, flute, flute,
Flute, flute, flute,
And the wheezings and the spittings of its toots
Should he get that other flute—
Golden flute—
Oh, whit a deeper anguish will its presence itt
stitoot!
How his eyes to heaven he’ll raise,
As he plays
All the days ;
How he'll stop us on our way3
With its praise !
And the people, oh the people,
That don’t live in tne steeple,
But inhabit Christian parlors
Where he visiteth and plays—
Where he plays, plays, plays,
In the eruelest of ways,
And thinks we ought to listen,
And expects us to be mute,
Who would rather have the ear-ache
Than the music of his flute—
Of his flute, flute, flu.e,
And the tootings of its toot—
Of the toots wherewith hotootleth its agonizing
toot,
Of the flute, Unit, flewt (loot,
Phlute, Phlewt, Phlewght,
And the toatle tootle tooting of its toot.

A woman at Tiffin, Ohio, fell and broke her

“If you men,’’ remarked a Washington lady

George Bancroft's threat to write a “History
of itihe Great Reb-ilion,” in two thousand vol
umes, ae a supplement to his “History of the
United States,” has concentrated public interest
upon a paragraph stating that old paper dealers
are only paying two and a half cents per pound.
That cooper was most unfortunate, th ough in
defatigable industrious. He labored on for a
whole summer in the repairing of impossible
casks and barrels, with a comparatively clear
conscience, but when old Dobbs fetched along a
bung hole and requested him to pm a puncheon
to it, that crestfallen cooper stepped down and
out.
Woman does a great deal to discourage lofty
sentiments of patrsotism. When a Hart county
man leaning over the fence telling a neighbor
how he would shed his last drop of blood for
suffering Louisiana, it disturbs him to have his
wife yell from the house: “look a here! are
you going to shell that c;rn, or shall I come out
and,see to you ?”
“Hi! Samuel, has you moved yit?” inquired
one darkey of another on the street the other
day. “No. Use still in the old place,” was the
answer. “But I war told thatyou war gwine to
get out ob de neighborhood,” continued the
first. “Well, I did make up my mind to, but
but you see de family next door and de family
on de corner, and de family cross de road, have
left dere woodpiles out doors, and I doesn’t de
sire to change.”j
A YOUTHFUL THESPIAU.
A few days ago, young Gurley, whose
father lives on Croghan street, organized
a theatrical company and purchased the
dime novel play of “Hamlet.” The com
pany consised of three boys and a hos
tler, and Mr. Gurley's hired girl was to
be the Ghost if the troupe could guaran
tee her fifty cents per night.
Young Gurley suddenly bloomed out
as a professional, and when his mother
asked him to bring in some wood, he re
plied :
“Though I am penniless thou canst not
degrade me!’’
“You trot out after that wood, or I’ll
have your father trounce you ! ’ she ex
claimed.
“The tyrant who lays his hand upon
me shall die!” replied the boy, but he
got the wood.
He was out on the step when a man
came along and asked him where Lafay
ette street was.
“Doomed for a certain time to roam
the earth!” replied Gurley in a hoarse
voice, and holding his right arm out
straight.
“I say—-you! Where is Lafayette
street?” called the man.
“Ah! Could the dead but speak—ah!”
continued Gurley.
The man drove him into the house,
and his mother sent him to the grocery
after potatoes.
“I go, most noble duchess,” he said as
he took up the basket, “but my good
sword shall some day avenge these in
sults !”
He knew the grocer favored theatri
cals, and when he got there he said:
“Art thou provided with a store of
that vegetable known as the ’tater, most
excellent duke?”
“What in the thunder do you want?’
growled the grocer as he cleaned the
cheese knife on the piece of paper.
“Thy plebian mimt is dull of compre
hension!” answered Gurley.
“Don’t try to get off any of your non
sense on me, or I’ll crack your emp
ty pate in a minute,” roared the grocer,
and “Hamlet” had to come down from
his high horse and ask for a peck of po
tatoes.
“What made you so long ?” asked his
mother, as he returned
“Thy grave shall be dug in the cy
press glade!” he haughtily answered.
When his father came at noon Mrs.
Gurley told him that she believed the
boy was going crazy, and related what
had occurred.
“I see what ails him,” mused the fa
ther: “this explains why he hangs
around Johnson’s barn so much.”
At the dinner table young Gurley
spoke of his father as the “illustrious
count,” and when his mother asked him
if he would have some butter gravy he
answered.
“The appetite of a warrior cannot be
satisfied with such nonsense.”
When the meal was over the father
went out to his favorite shade tree, cut a
sprout, and the boy was asked to step
out into the woodshed and see if the
penstock wa's frozen up. He found the
old man there, and he said:
“Why, most noble lord, I had sup
posed thee far away!”
“I’m not so far away but what I’m go
ing to make you skip!” growled the fa
ther. “I’ll reach you to fool around
with ten cent tragedies! Come up here!”
For about five minutes the woodshed
was full of dancing feet, flying arms and
moving bodies, and then the old man
took a rest and inquired:
“There, your highness, dost want any
more ?”
“Oh! no, dad—not a darned bit!”
wailed the young manager, and while
the father started for town he went in
and sorrowfully informed the hired girl
that he must cancel her engagement un
til the fall season.
A STUPID WITNESS.
Thera is a point beyond which human
forbearance cannot go, and the most
even of tempers will become ruffled at
times. At the assizes held during the
past year at Lincoln, England, both
judge and counsel had much trouble to
make the timid witnesses upon a trial
speak sufficiently loud to be heard by the
jury, and it is possible that the temper
of the counsel may thereby have been
turned aside from the even tenor of its
way. After this gentleman had gone
through the various stag A of the bar
pleading, and had coaxed, threatened,
and even bullied witnesses, there was
called into the box a young ostler, who
appeared simplicity personified.
“Now, sir,” said the counsel, in a tone
ha would at any other time have de
rounced as vulgarly loud, “I hope we
shall have no difficulty in making you
speak up.”
“I hope not, sir,” was shouted or ra
ther bellowed out by tho_ witness, in
tones which almost shook the building,
and would have certainly alarmed any
timid or nervous lady.
“How dare you speak in that way, sir,’
said the counsel.
“Please, sir, I can’t speak any louder,
sir,” said the astonished witness, attempt
ing to shout louder than before, evident
ly thinking the fault to be his speaking
too softly.
“Pray, have you been drinking this
morning ?” shouted the counsel, who had
now thoroughly lost the last remnant of
his temper.
“Yes, sir,” was the reply.
“And wnat have you been drinking ?”
“Coffee, sir.”
“And what did you have in your cof
fee, sir?” shouted the exasperated coun
sel.
“A spoon, sir,” was the answer, inno
cently spoken, amid the roars of the
whole court, excepting only the now
thoroughly wild counsel, who flung
down his brief and rushed out of the
court.
-♦ ♦
An exchange asks: “If there’s a place
for everything where is the place for
a boil.” It has been said that the best
place for such an ornament is on some
other fellow, and we don’t think a better
location can be discovered.
EXTEAOEDIUAEY WITNESSES.
Except Major McKinistry, the Quar
termaster General under Fremont in
Missouri, no witness was ever kept so
long on the stand in any recorded
American trial as Mr. Moulton Major
McKinistry was under examination be
fore a court martial for thirteen days
And during that time he never contra
dicted himself, and yet the court found
Major McKinistry guilty and cashiered
him.
In the celebrated English case, the
claimant to the Tichborne estates was
under examination for six weeks, and
during that time he cleverly managed to
afford grounds for an indictment for
perjury against himself; and of the per
jury he was found guilty, and is now
serving his seven years sentence of pen
al servitude.
In a contested will ease tried before
Judge Pcnnafeatber, iu Dublin, the first
witness as to the authenticity of a will
was examined for two days. After him,
the witesses examined on both skits
reached the number of a hundred and
twenty one. Counsel were about to
ommence the summing up, when sud
denly Judge Penaafeather seeing the
first witness still in court, recalled him
to the stand. Ilis Lordship said to
him:
“My friend, you have been examined
and cross examined by as able counsel
as any in England or Ireland, yet my
failing faculties now fail clearly to recall
your testimony. Listen, and tell me if
I understud its substance aright. You
say you were with the testator the
night he died?”
“Yes, my lord.”
Judge—And you state futher that
while you were with him he signed this
will which I have in my hand?
Witness—Yes, my lord.
Judge—He was very sick you said?
Witness—Yes, my lord.
Judge—And the room was darkened?
Witness—Yes, my lord.
Judge—Now tell me how he saw to
sign this will?
Witness—l lit a waxen bougie.
Judge—Where did you get it?
Witness—From a secetary or bureau
in the room to which he directed me.
Judge—And the pen and ink?
Witness—l got them from the same
bureau, my lord.
Judge—(Still holding the will in his
hand and looking at the bottom of it)
This hand writing in the signature is
strangely firm to have been written on
such a yielding foundation as the cover
lid of the bed in which the sick man
lay.
Witness—Oh, my Lord, I placed a
checker board on his knees, and put the
will upon it. I held the ink in my left
hand, dipped the pen in it with my right.
He sat up in the bed, took the pen and
signed the will.
Judge—Very well, very well my friend,
I understand you thoroughly. SM*fr4his
will is sealed. Where did you get the
wax?
Witness—l got it for him from the
same bureau where he kept all his writ
ing materials.
Judge—How did he manage to seal
it
Witness—After he had signed it I put
the pen and ink back into the bureau;
took out a piece of red wax, and taking
the bougie in my left hand, melted the
wax. I forgot to state I had handed
him his seal from the bureau; when the
wax dropped on the will, he pressed the
seal upon it.
Judge—What color did you say the
wax was?
• Witness—lt was red my lord.
Judge—Gentlemen of the jury, this
will is sealed with a wafer.
Counsel made no summing up of the
case; and the jury, without leaving the
box, found for defendant, who was the
legal heir of the deceased.
As the throng was hurrying from the
court room, the old judge slowly rose
from his seat, and pointing with his
skinny fore-finger at the quailing witness,
said:
“Officers, arrest that man. Her maj
esty’s government has a charge of perjury
to prefer against him, and, I believe,! am
one of the chief witnesses in the case.”

The above illustration, though without stand,
shows the wonderful simplicity of the Lyon
Sewing Machine, the “Conqueror.” Mr. Lyon,
the Inventor, was for many years the Pres’dent
and Manager of the Finkle & Lyon S. M. Cos.,
and enjoyed the facility for the study of
the sewing machine art and its adaptation to ev
ery variety of sewing manufacture, both in the
family and in thesli >p,and the invention proves
a great success. It has overcome the tour great
radical defects of shuttle machines, viz :
1. Want of space under the arm.
2. Want of durability—too much friction.
3. Too heavy running—tires the operator.
4. Too much jar and noise.
No other shuttle machine has ever successful
ly overcome these four great defects.
We know the machine honestly excels any
thing we have to contend with in the market.
We realize that these are strong assurances,
hut v, e otter them without the least misgivings,
for we know whereof we affirm.
s AVe therefore offer the machine upon its own
merits, and if it does not prove satisfactory, it
can be returned any time within 60 days and
money refunded.
Our LIST PRICES will be the same as other
first class machines, but in neighborhoods where
we have no Agent, special inducements will be
offered. Each machine is supplied, without ex
tra charge, wit'* Heinmer, Quilter, Guage,
Guage Screw. Screw Driver, six Bobbins, one
dozen Needles, Oil Can filled with Oil, BeP and

N. B.—We shall appoint AGENTS with exclu

and we hope to render these agencies permanent
by the liberal inducements we offer and the in
trinsic merits of the machine.

GEN. WASHINGTON S FIRST INTERVIEW
WITH HIS WIFE.
GET UP YOUR CLUBS AT ONCE.
This magnificent premium engraving is to re

for 1875. Il is after an original picture by the
celebrated artist Enninger, and represtnts the
first interview of Washington with the fair
widow who afterwards became his wife, and is
known in history as Lady Washington. The
story is quite romantic. During the great French
and Indian war of 1755, Washington, then about
to proceed, to the froi.tier, stopped for an hour's
refreshment at the hospitable mansion known
then, as now, as the White House, in Virginia.
There lie met, for the first time, the fair widow
who afterwards became his wife. Beguiled by
her charms and conversation, he remained hour
after hour, his orderly leading his horse to and
froucross the lawn. It is this incident which
thcengraving represents.

dollars each. It is engraved in the very highest
style of the art after an original picture, and for
patriotic as well as artistic reasons ought to bo

persons who will desire to have this engraving,
we otter it ns a premium to persons getting up
clubs for 1879.

axine and the premium will tie prepaid at tho
