Ire fav: ecu- ire favH : The kitchen of tho excellent family of which I speak is presided over by a good ookinjr domestic vvltour we will call .uary Ann.be rejoicing in tho attentive devo tions of a manly male servant employed by a neighboring family, named John. rsow such wxs Johu relations with the fair 3Iary Ann they were 'engaged' ju-t like anybody s folks that he was in the habit of entering his iuamoratta'g domains without the usual formality of knocking. nd be it known that the lord of the mansion had been absent for several days, and was expected home by tho evening train. On that evening the mistress of the house sat in her boudoir panting with expectation at the coming of her husband.- Shortly he beard or thought isho heard bis faun liar footstep at the sida door (his usual place of entry) and dashing down tho Htairtf iu the darkness she pre cipitated herself into hb arms. There was an earnest embrace. A lov ing lingering kiss was imprinted upon the lips of the representative of the sterner sex. ileanswereu not, vui pressed ner closer to his heaving bosoia. ' How long this thing would have gone oa 13 not lor us to say, had act an' adjoining door been thrown 'odcu by the pretty .ijary Ann with a light in her hand, and what a sight revealed to all three ! 3Jary saw her hand some mistress in the J arins of her lusty lover, John : the mihtresssajv net her ex- pected spouse, but 31ary Ann s young man; and JohnWell, ho was so dumb founded (supposing he was hugging Mary Ann all tho time) that he couldo teee anything.

' ' ' ' - Rich Men's Sons. Henry Vard Beecher, in a sermon delivered at Ply mouth CJrurch one Sunday eveniug, pro duced tho following picture of rich men's sons "Men seem ashamed of labor, and often you will find men who have made them selves respected in labor, have built up a business and amassed a fortune, who turn to' tlicii sons and say : ' ''You shall never do as I did ; you shall lead a difFerent life ; you shall be spared all this," .Oh, theso-" rich men's sons 1 They aim to lead a life of elegant leisure ; and that is a Jife 'of emascuiated idleness' and laziness Like the polyp that floats useless and hasty upon 'sea, all jelly all flabby, no muscie, no Done it snuts and opens, and opens and shuts, and sucks in and squirts out airain, 01 no earuiiy account, . innu- ence or use. Such are these poor, fools Their parents toiled and grew strong, built up their frames to iron and bone : but denying all this to their sons, they turn them upon the world boneless, mus cleless, siinplp grizzle, arid soft at that."

Ten clerks, twelve tellers and thirty-six gendarmes accompanied tho tram. r,-. 1 A New York telegram, of a'lato date, has the following "Tho President's Washington evening organ, in its issue of the 10th, says : "If ucccssary, tho strong iron hand of the Administration will bo invoked to stay tho course and prevent the consummation of Radical treason. Tho great oath the President has taken to protect and de fend tho Constitution cannot bo forgot tcu. The people who Sustain him with their half million majority of voting pop ulation, North and South, will not forget him. Events have already brought tho Government to tho verge of another rev olution.

TUi; f ounds cheery and musical, and is good warning to the fractional Congress to halt from its mad career, and retreat from its revolutionary fichemcs. . The President's "organ" -does not miscalculate the result, doe.i not misjudge the people. Andrew Johnson must to sustained and defended, while exercising his Constitu tional prerogative, and thw, too, if neccs hary, with swords and gun.- The Radical leaders aro playing a great game of blus ter and blafl"; let them bo given to under stand that such trickery and brazen-fced-nes cannot wiu, but that if they push on they mu:t faco reality, and fight flesh and blood. Cowering before them, the Presi dent will be driven to the wall ; driven to the wall, he will be forced to hU knees; down oa his knees, he will be thrown to the pit. None of this must be. Ho must defy these inceudiaricii, and spit upon their impeachment resoletiona. It is not for Andrew Johnson that wc write this, but for the Executive of the Nation, the supremacy of tbe Law, the inviolability of the Constitution.

John Randolph was traveling through a part of Virginia, in which he was acquainted; meantime, he stopped during the night at an inn near the forks of the road. "The inn keeper was a fine gentleman, and no doubt ono of the first famiiic of the Ofd Dominion. Knowing his distinguished guct, he en deavored during the evecing to entertain him. In the morning, when Mr. Randolph was ready to start, ho called for UU bili which on being presented was paid. The hest still anxious to have some conversa tion with him begun as follows: "Which way arc you traveling, 3Ir. Randolph?" - Sir. said Randolph, with .a look of displeasure, "havn't 1 paid my bill?" "Yea." ' "Do I owe you anything?" "No." "Well I'm going just where I please do you understand?" . "Acs." Our Host by this timo got somewhat excited and Mr. Randolph drove off. But to the landlord's surprise, in a few minutes the servant came to inquire of his master vyhich of tho forks of the road to take. Mr. Randolph uot being out of hearing distance, he spoke out at the top of his voice: "Mr. Randolph, you don't owe me one cent; just take which road you d d please. . ' Ruskin on Judas. In the "Crown of Wild Olives" John Ruskin thus char acterizes, in hi3 trenchant style, those who live only to make money as imitators of Judas: - 1 ' Wo do great injustice to Judas Iscariot, in thinkiuir him wicked above all com mon wickedness. Ho was only a common money lover, didn't understand Christ: uouiuu b uiuau out wu ivunii ui jliuu, ui mcanine of Him. ' Ho did not ' want Him to be killed. Ho was horror-struck when he found that Christ would be kill ed; threw his money away instantly, and hanged himself, liow many of our pres ent money seekers, think you, would have the grace to hang themselves, whoever was killed f But Judas was a common selfish, muddle-headed, pilfering fellow; his hand was always in the bag 01 the poor, not carina for them. He "didn't understand Christ, yet believed in'IIim, much moro than most of us do; had seen Him .de miracles, thought Ho was quite strong enough to shift for himself,' aud he Judas, might as well makd ms little per quisites out of the afluir' 'Christ Vould come out of it well enough, and he have the thirty pieces 1 Now that is the monsy seeker s idea' all over the 'world 1 Artemas; Ward's Twins.
