ned down froam the chair amidst the
cheers of my fellow-citizens. At
that proud moment, when I could
have grasped warmly the hand of my
bitterest enemy (if he voted our
ticket,) I overheard a friend of. mine
named Moore make a remark. Moore
it was one whom I had always ranked
ig among my most ardent admnirers.
'n L1oore said, with his back to me :
Y "Bykes is always making an in
.- fernal anule of himself at public
"t meetings, .though lie has no more
1- speech-making ability than a hel
e' lows."
I turned upon him i indignation.
"- l'Ah, 3Bykes," said he .grasping
i- my hand cordially, "you did unusu
1i ally well! Capital speech! But
t- you always hit the nail square on the
e bead. Wish some of these gas bags
had half your ability in the oratorical
g way."
" Thank you!" said I. t" There's
li Van lrw:vin, for instance, who is
spjeaki in. now;' he is always making
o an infernal mule of himself at pub
lic me'etings, though lie hat no more
speech-nmaking' aiiii v ltan a bel
lOws."
Moore tr.i ," hard not to look dis
couragoed; but lt, di(in't have very
c(heerini' suc --cess. It- has since be
li;(ved Iniy (c: ds to be Iof the sharpest
: (1- criptit in, if not the longest.

Some oth,-rwise excellent neqtiain
tances ofumine are in the sad hablit of
occasionally taking maore wine than is w
good for themn; and the effect of too ft
much wine is to muddle the br.ain w
and lower the intellectual status; so
that wise men in their cups are le
fools. Now, it is an invariahil, law in
that a drunknm man is intensely con- (
scious ot my slight deafness. m
T.h ere's my friend WValker-an ar
Lt tist of reputation-who has scarcely
d a fault besides' this of indulging tod
y freely now and then. When I call
ir at his studij' I. can tell in a minute
Le whether he has "had too much," for
e he is certain to put his mouth elose
d to my shrinking ear and remark, in
- a voice loud enough to awaken the
seven sleepers, "3My dear Bykes,
i- how are you?"
c Only this morning I was sitting
"e in my counting-room, when the dis
1- tinguished Dr. Mixon, of the London
D)iagnosis, called to see me. Wal
i. ker was with him, and "made us cc
g quainted." ILH( had previously in
L- formed the learned Doctor that I was
it slightly deaf. The Doctor remark
e ed, in a moderate tone of voice, but
s with the distincness of a metronome.
11 "I-am-told -you--are-hard
---of--heari ng,-Sir, -but-I-think
s -you-are-nlot."
S ()f course I heard this remark
g with the greatest ease.
And now Walker don't believe I
e a1m -slightly deaf.
I am in dlespair.

L han was ordered to Vashington, he
t receivel a telegram from CGen. Scott,
askipg him when he could- reach
Ilarper's Ferry, and how many troops
he could concentrate there in a short
time. Gen. McClellmn replied that he
could reach there with 1.5,000 men in"
:seven days, and proceeded inmmerli
ately to nmake the proper dispositin
