SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12,1872.
THE PILGRIM'S REVERIE.
The waning moon shine* pale and still;
The wind in russet branches die;
Day faints upon the darkening hill,
And melts into the days gone by.
The vanished days! now diin and far,
Yet none so dead tliev cannot wake
And stir in me, as yon high star
Quivers, deep visioned, in the lake.
They glimmer down the moon’s long beam,
They rustle in the russet, tree;
They fade in twilight’s melting dream,
And slide in starlight down to mo.
1 feel the hush of brooding wings
The warmth of tender joys far flown,
And little flights and flut tarings
Of blessings that were once my own.
But 0 most sweet, and O most sad,
Of all these lost delights that thril!
The blessings that I almost had,
But life can never more fulfill.
And yet ’tis strange, but these are more
My own, to-night, than all besides,—
Glad stars upon a distant shoie,
That draw my sails across the tide.
Fade golden evenings, fade and sink!
Burn, crimson leaves, burn out and fall!
For life is greater than we think,
And death the surest life of all.
[From tbo Louisville Courior Journal ]
OHIO EDITORS.
Charateristics of the Men who KN-
LiaUTEN THE STATE.
Seneca W. Fly, of tlio Stiliwator
Gazette, is the oldest editor iu Ohio.
Deacon Smith ; of the Cincinnati
Gazette is the handsomest. He has a
blonde complexion, sprinkled with bran.
D. R. Locke (Nasby), of the Toledo
Blade, is the most modest editor. He
is of suok a sensitive and retiring Dature
that he always covers his face with a
beer mug when in company.
Joseph H. Barrett, of the Times
Chronicle, is the lovliest of his sex, and
the best clog dancer in the profession.
Bond, of the Scioto Gazette, is the
tallest editor. Even the Chillicothe
chills can’t shake him all over—they
divide into three reliefs, like a military
guard, and shake him by sections.
Andy Francisco, of the State Journal,
is the smallest man and the biggest
every other way. He and Bond are
called The Twins, because they are so
much longer and shorter than each
other.
Captain Mason, of the Cleveland
Leader is the handsomest editor in Ohio.
Cowles has to stand guard at the door
while he writes, to keep the
belles away from him.
Mackley, of the Jackson Standard, is
the old sinner who writes “Random
thoughts.”
Samuel R. Reed, of tho Cincinnati
Gazette, is the greatest thcologiau among
the editors. He can so advocate reli
gion as to make a man curse the faith
he iVas born in.
Clark Waggoner, of the Toledo Com
mercial, has a nose like Slawkenburgius
— be had to enlarge his business to take
it all in.
Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commer
cial, can sit on the fence with more
ability than any other editor in Ohio.
Griswold, of the Lancester Gazette, is
the living image of Emperor Wilhelm,
yet he is a fair editor, for one so youDg.
Cockerill, of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
without being as great a theologian as
Reed, or as truly good as Deacon Smith,
has a great deal of native piety, res
trained by a love for ungodly amuse
ments.
Bloss, as every body knows, is kept
on the Enquirer because he writes tho
worst hand in America. His writing
looks like a procession of corkscrews
going to an Inebriate Asylum.
Douglass, of the Zanesville Courier ,
baa the strongest faith of any editor in
Ohio—he believes that Zanesville will be
a city notwithstanding its natural advan
tages.
Captain Lee* of the Delaware Gazette,
is the most accomplished scientist among
Ohio editors.
Plimptom, of Cincinnati Commercial,
is the onlyreal poet among Ohio editors
— though Deacon Smith got off a very
good political brindisi, with the inde
corous title “Bully for Grant,”
Hopley, of the Bucyrus Journal, is
the most stinging writer of classical
lampoon, or rhymed political inveotive.
Montgomery, of the Logan Republi
can, is the handsomest editor in Ohio,
but he never goes anywhere, and it
isn’t generally known.
Benedict, of the Cleveland Herald, is
the hardest-worked man in the profes
sion. If he wasn’t off at the seaside all
summer and down South all winter lie
couldn’t stand it.
Armstrong, of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, is the wildest tnan among Ohio
editors. He reaches from Cleveland to
Tiffin.
Chapman, of the Pomeroy Telegraph,
lives higher than any other editor in
Ohio, by a thousand feet.
Lecky Harper, of the Mount Vernon
Banner, is the most patient editor. He
will try to tell tho truth a thousand
times, and if he fails every time, try it
again with unimpaired cheerfulness.
Professor Scott, of the Athens Jour
nal, is the only female editor in Ohio.
Allison, of Steubenville Herald, has
enough hair to make a Fifth Avcuue
belle go mad with envy.
W. E. Morgan, of the Newark Demo
crat, spells editor “Auditor.’'
Fairbanks of the Cleveland Herald,
is our leading Spiritualist.
McFarland, of the Portsmouth Tri
bune, is the most scrupulously truthful
editor iu Ohio. He promised to pub
lish Conkliug’s speech in full, and did
it, though it occupied three entire pages,
and threw out all his advertisements.
Joccs, of tho Toledo Blade, is the
fattest editor.
Tho ugliest editor iu Ohio is a post
master named Comly.

The Advantages of Nf.wspapers.
—The advantages of newspapers are
every day developed, and new and be
fore unsuspected uses for them arc dis
covered. It is well known that, they
afford warmth on a cold night, when
used as a covering, but now we find the
article used for the protection of the
body under very different circumstances
Witness what befela gentleman aud his
wife recently in the Holy Laud. While
they were travelling toward Jerusalem
they were beset by bandits aud robbed
not only of their money aud baggage,
but even of the clothes in which they
were standing, or rather kneeling for
mercy. What were they to do ? If
they were going to the Garden of Eden
it would have been well enough ; but
how were they to enter the ancient city
of the Lord in a state of primitive nu
dity ? In this horrible emergency they
begged back from the pluuderers a copy
of the Loudon Times. Was there ever
such luck before ? For they received not
only the usual copy of the great journal
but it so happeued that there was a sup
plement, which was just the thiug for
the lady ! Thus elothod with adver
tisements, leading articles, foreign cor
respondence, the money market and the
parliamentary debates, they entered
Jerusalem panapolied against all fierce
M isseluians—for these religionists, be
it remembered, respect every square
iuch of paper, since happily the name
of God may be written thereon. We
trust Americans going to the East will
provide against such emergencies.—
Boston Globe.
<
flow She Did It.
I will tell you a rather bare faced
story of how a Dublin chambermaid is
said to have got twelve commercial
travellers into eleven bed-rooms, aud
yet to have given each a separate room.
Here we have the eleven bed-rooms:
w|l|i|3|4|s|6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 |
— r-J
‘Now,’ said she, ‘if two of you geutle
men will go into No.l bed-room, and
wait there a few minutes, I’ll find a
spare room for ouo of you as soon as I’ve
shown the others to their rooms. Well,
now, having thus bestowed two gen
tlemen in No. 1, she puts the third in
No. 2, the fourth in No. 3, the fifth in
No. 4, the sixth in No. 5 the seventh in
No. 6, the eighth in No. 7 the ninth m
No. 8 the tenth in No. 9, and the
eleventh in No. 10. She then comes
back to No. 1, where, you will remem
ber, she left the twelfth gentleman
along with the first, and said : ‘I have
accommodated all the rest, and still
have a room to spare, so if one of you
will please step into No. 11, you will
find it empty.’ Thus, the twelfth man
got his bed-room. Of course, there is
a hole in the saucepan somewhere ; but
I leave the reader to determine exactly
where the fallacy is with a just warn
ing to think twice before deciding as to
which, if any, of the travellers was the
‘odd man out.’
An Old Lady. —There is living in
Kanawlm county, W. Va., Mrs Rachel
Stanley, who was born in Bedford coun
ty, Vtt., iu 1774. Sho has a grand
daughter lifiy-six years old, and has
fourteen children, uiuoty-nine grand
children, and two hundred aud twenty
three great-great grand children. Tho
Charleston Courier says :
“Within that period of ninety-eight
years the Revolution came, Cornwallis
surrendered, Washington and fourteen
other Presidents presided and died,
Napoleon began and ended his military
career, Byron come into the world,
startled it and died. And yet here is
old Aunt Rachel, perched upon the
summit of a Kelley’s creek mountain,
i her old arm-chair; like Tennyson’s
eagle, ringed with the azured world she
sits and breathes that pure upper air as
if she intended to live right on in defi
ance of time.”

Speaker Blaine affected a good deal
of virtuous indignation at the charge,
founded on Cul. McComb’s testimony
and “Oaks Ames” letters, that lie arid
other Radical Congress men were brib
ed with Mobiliir stock to vote for a
certain measure for the beuefit of the
Union Pacific Company. What has
Speaker Blaine to say to the testimony
which has lately come out in a law suit
in New York, by which it appears that
he received 32,500 shares of assessable
and 2,000 shares of unassessable stock
in the Leavenworth, Pawee and Wes
tern Railway Company, worth sl,-
920,000, to secure the ratification of
the Delaware and Pottawatomie trea
ties and the passage of the Pacific Rail
road bill ? The value of the assessable
stock was $295,000, which sum it is
said Blaine kept, distributing the S1 ,-
025,000 among certain of his Radical
Colleagues. —Louisville Courier.
The California Wheat Crop. —The
grain crop of the Pacific slope is report
ed as being unprecedented in the annals
of that land of plentiful harvests. The
wheat crop of Livermore and San J oa
quin valleys, California, is estimated at
from twelve to fifteen million bushels,
which have all bceD gathered and bag
ged, and are now lying in heaps along
the Central Pacific railroad, awaiting
transportation. One field in Livermore
valley covers sixty-eight thousand acres
or over one hundred and sixty square
miles, and has yielded forty bushels of
first-class wheat to the acre. Within
seven days the wheat yield of that large
farm was standing slacked within sight
of the railway, in the hempen sacks
commonly used fur sending grain to
market, aud the cost of the sacks for
that farm alone was $30,000.
Through the columns of a paper the
birth of a daughter was recently an
nounced to a citizen of Rockwell, Conn,
a nd as he had been married many years
and had no children, the event created
a sensation among his friends, who de
termined to visit him in a body. They
set forth having with them a handsome
baby carriage, cradle, open-work chair,
teething rings, and numerous articles,
the uses of which are known to the ini
tiated. The embarrassment of the par
ty can be imagined when they learned,
on reaching the house, that there had
been no increase to the population in
that vicinity, and that the whole thing
was the result of a printer’s blunder.
They made the best of it, however, and
“left tiie articles for future use.”
A good many years ago a Kentuckian
went to Cincinnati and drove cart at
low wages until he had saved up seven
hundred dollors. With this he bought
a large load of coal which sunk at the
landing the night it was delivered, and
he had to sell it for four hundred dol
lars. The party who bought it failed
before paying, but finally compromised
by giving two and a half acres of land
for the debt. The land is now in the
busines* centre of Cincinnati, and is
worth over $1,500,000 to its owner as
the price of that load of coal.
A New York manufacturer notic
ed that in one room the girls were merry
and iu another melancholy. He in
vestigated and found that the gloomy
■ room was colored with yellow ochre,
the other withwash. He applied White
wash to the yellow room, and universal
happiness was the result. He got the
idea noticing how happy it made the
Custom House officers.

But this must he decided by the Shareholders themselves. Special attention is called to
the fact that this is not a “Gilt Enterprise,” “Charity Concert,” nor any mere scheme for

crtlflcate of Distinguished Gentlemen Relative to Mount Florence:
We are fanvliar with Mount Florence-or-the-Hudson, and take pleasure in saying that
it ?s a large and beautiful Property, conveniently located as to the railroad and the city
of New York, highly and substantially improved and embellished to a degree rarely
equalled in this cauutry.
Mount Florence was improved by Mr. 1). 11. Craig, between 1858 and 1804, and with
ten years of natural growth, added to the immense sums expended in improvement, its
present value can hardly be over-estimated. The situation is extremely favorable for
health and comfort, and the views of mountain, river, and inland scenery, from different
parts of the grounds, are varied and beautiful at all seasons.
