Sitting to-night In my chamber,
A bachelor frigid and lonely,
I kiss the end of my pipe-stom
That, and that only.
Reveries rise with the smoke wreaths
Memories tender surround mc
Olrls (hat aro married or buried,
Gather around me.
School girls In pantolets romping;
Olrls that hare grown to to misses ;
Olrls that like to be kissed, and
Like to give kisses.
Kisses well I remember t'neni!
Thoso In the comer were fleetest;
Sweet were thoso on "the sly ;" In tho

Cold Custard, or llow a Deacon got
"Corned."
A very marked character was Deacon
H., who was a lout; tnno a citizen of St.
Louis, coining here when lis and the city
were alike in tlieir youth and remaining
until lie took his departure from this
mundane sphere to reap the reward of an
exemplary life. A few years ago, when
the temperance excitement of which
father Mntliew was tho "real high priest
prevailed so generally over the Eastern
anil Wostcrn states, no greater enthusiast
lent hi. oneroid to the advancement of
total abstinence principles than Deacon
11. lie was about fifty years of age and a
bachelor; nnd so much abashed by the
presonco ef ladios, that save in the way
of business, be always took Rood care to
avoid tbem. lie had been brought up a
puritun of the most ultra Calvanistic
type, nnd fhis cheerful creed bad per
mealed every fibre of his being and shone
forth in almost every act of his life
Xuturally a kind hearted man, bis cast-
iron principles had so warped Ins Human
itv that no charity lor tho errors or fail-
inn of others could Gail uveuue to bis
heart. It was his pride (unconsciously)
that even in minor or inditferent matters
his actions were governed by a stern
sense of duty. But that he lived con
scieatiously up to the level of his profes
sion. no ono who knew him doubted
lie was liberal to the poor not from any
sympathy with their t rivutious but be-
causo it was Ins duty to bestow alms in
proportion to bis meuns. Ho was not
liberal to his employes, because it was
likewise his duty to bo prudent and ceo
nomical. Nor was he liberal or charitable
to profes-ors of a different faith from his
own, his duty lorhtdding lum tu any way
to countenance error.
Still ho was a man to be respocted, and
tu a maimer udmired even by those who
found the mot fault with ins rut J and
rigorous creed, for l.e was honest and
true, and above taking advantage of any
rf the chances which tell in his way ot
reaping unfair gains from hie follow mau
No damaged or inferior goods ever went
out of his establishment as first class, but
the clerk who had been detected in mis
representing the quality of any article
would nave gone out very suddenly.
With all these good qualities, ho could
not help but bo a high dignitary in the
cburoh. In one way his services were
almost indisperisiblo to tho impecunious
cougregation ot which ho was a member,
Ho held as a point of consctsnco that
whoever tarvulled in tho service of the
chureh should pay bis own expense
I bis singular crotched caused biui to be
in great demand as a delegate to synods
ueueral assemblies, &o , of the church
These occasions were anxiously looked
for by his clerks, who took advantago of
his absence to relax a little from that
severe propriety of deportment which
was exacted from tbem when he was
present. In other words their own
"they bad good time when tho old man
was away."
Christmas was approaching, and tho
boys were delighted wben tbty learned
that ' Old stub and twist" as they irrcv
ereutly designated him among themselves

occasion, tu muau up iur iui piwh.i

In Deacon II. 's store was a long coun
ter reaohing from ood to end, (be only
nna of iho kind Dtrtaininir to any of the
establishments whose clerks were in the
same set with the Deacon's. Although
it. rather rlskv. in the event of a dis
oovery, it was determined to hold the
Christmas festivities where this long
counter could he utilized for the purpose
of settini out to advantage, the "galauinp
tteuk" spread it was resolved upon to
have on this super ordinary occasion, to
eome off after the store was closed at
night. Numerous guests were invited,
und every preparation was wade lo cheer

participants. No civilized person would
expect, of course, that egg-nog could ty
any posibility, be overlooked, for what
would Christmas be without it but a

TROY, MO., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1872.
hugo bowl of this favorite beverage of
the unsophisticated was prepared as l ho
piece ilc r distance of the carousal,
conic solicitude was felt as to iho pre
mature return of the Deacon, which
would huvo involved the ucressity of se
lecting another scene for the festivities,
tut the eventful ovenitig arrived without
him or any word of him. At 11 o clock
precisely the "wittlcs woro up," the doors
having been previously closed, as well as
tiny littlo stray chinks that would permit
me escape ot any ray ot light, the
feast was to bo a "close corporation" even
from the knowledge of which all were to
be excluded save the elect. At this crit
ical moment a sturtling rap at tho front
door sent dismay into more than one
stout heart, the proprietor of which
would have faced a bat'ery without flinch
ing. After a brief consultation the doer
was opened timorously, and in walked
the deacon, causing such a consternation
as might have been expetienced by a
flock of fchcep on tho advent of n woll.
lie had travelled all day on horseback,
making a forced march for tho purpose
of being nblo to spend Sunday (tho next
day) in his usual haunts. Very unex
pectedly, he manifested no displeasure at
what was going on, but on the contrary
expressed himself as very glad to sec
something to cat, as bo had partaken of
no toosl stnco en early dinner that day.
The prnstect of having hi in for n guest
t ut rather a damper on the spirits of the
company, for ho was anything but a "gay
and lesttvecuss, bcingas great a formalist
as tbo i-cotch covenanter who nbked :
blessing ou bciug about to kiss his sweet
heart. Opportunity was taken to cov
ertly smuggle tho bowl ot egg-nog into
tbc back room, und as that was tho only
contraband article preset)', serenity was
restored as soon as it was out ot the way,
After the solemn invocation of a blessim
by the deacon tho feast began, und pro
gresscd as satisfactorily as could have
been expected with such a skeleton in the
closet. JJut that bowl of egg nog stuck
in every gizzard. It was too bad that it
hould remain in tbc back room wast
its sweetness on iho desert air.
At length one of the c erks, with a
knowing wink, asked the chief if there
was not a bowl ot cold custard in the
back room. He was unswored by a dep
ecatory and cautious look, but it was
too late. Iho deacon had hoird the
question and answered, "If you have,
bring it tu, lor 1 am particularly lond ot
custards. Ut course there was no back
ing out possible now, und so the "void
custard" was brought in aud with much
misgiving served out to the company
Lvcry one expected that the deacon
would instantly detect what it was, when
there would have been a big rumpusandno
mistake, but ho was more un?plii-liriitcii
than they suspected, for he bad not only
never tasted egg nog in his life, but had
never seen any before, borne consterna
tion was experienced when he parsed up
a bowl fur his rations, saying lie liked to
soak bread in it and cat it with u spoon,
for while thoy imagined ho might ulti
mately be pacified as to the mere pres
ence of the insidious Qui J, thoy knew he
would never forgive them for allowing
him to get drunk on it unwittingly.
This teemed likely to be the inevitable
result, however, as when he had finished
his bowl lie passed it for a second deal
saying that it was the best custard he had
over tasted in his life. When he got
through, ho sat down by the hot stove
aud as he had been riding all day in the
cold, and was chilled to the bones, he
soon began to experience the combined
influence of thawing out and becomiu
permeated with a largo dose of au unac
customed stimulant. "How strangely 1
feel, said lie ; "it is astonishing what a
curious effect is produced by tilting by a
hot fire aftor getting chilled through by
riding all diy in the cold, finishing hi
sentenco with a very ominous yawn
Soon he would have fallen on Iho floor
had not one of the clerks held him up
and then with a long pull, a streog pull
and a pull altogether, a successful ettort
was made to get him onto a lounge in t tie
back room, where ho instantly sank into
a drunken stupor. It is scarcely ncces
sory to say that the boys took advantago
ot the circumstance to have tnoir nign
old time lo their heart's content. Tho

but she was never sble to make any to

was not likely it should, seeing there was

of his thst during his entire lifo not

died in that delusien. And this Is tho

thought themselves secure from the in

own bourn, u abort distance from Kerrist,
by two Cossacks of the guard at the
garrison, und taken before the petty
judgo.
1 he young lady ol nineteen, handsome
and trembling, produced uo feeling of
pity. Having at first denied the accusa
tion, the was confronted with Catherine
MerdoiT. and then acknowledged her
ofTuiice. In passing sentence, the petty
judge said that her seditious utterances
might tiave warranted him iu tending ner
before a higher tribunal, wbcra the pen
ally would bo death ; but iu view of her
youth aud ceutritiou, he should merely
order her to receive thirty-fivo lushes of
the kuoul. Almost benumbed with
shamo and terror, tho girl was led away
to bo prepared fur punishment, for in
liussiu all seutmccs, save that ot ueatn,
are carried out immediately after they
are prouounesd.
ord having been sent to the olncer
commanding tbc trcops, a guard ot two
hundred nieu was ordered into the gar
risuu square, and the executioner of the
troop was calUd upon to ho roudy to carry
out the duties of his ulfictf. In half an
hour after tho sentence had been given
the troops had been formed in a hollow
square, in tho tenter of which bad beeu
placed a scaltold, ttumlmg on lour legs,
the top of which was an inclined plane
Ueside this stood the executioner, having
in his muscular hand the knout. This
weapon consists of a stick, or handle, two
feet long, with a lash lour leet long ot
soft leather, to tho end ot which is
attached by a loop a piece of flat raw
hide two inches wide und two leet long.
In the hands of au experienced man the
piece of ma hide can be made to cut like

As the executioner stood facing the
scaffold, young Alixandrina Kossowitz
was brought to hi in by her guard, and in
a few momenta her clothing was removed
to bur waist, despite her almost mulo
appeals to be spand the shame. As she
pluaded sbe was Pent on the plane, tier
hands strapped to tho two upper corners
and her ankles secured at the leot ot the
structure. One of the executioner's
assistants held her heid, and tho jetty
judge gave tho order fur whipping to
commence. Twirling the long lush in
the air, tho executioner stepped sud lenly
backward, and with a sharp crack the
thong fell on tho back of tho sobbing
girl, cutting a livid streak from her right
shoulder to her waist. A terrible tremor
passed over hor, and a quick low cry
escaped her lips, but it was the only
sound she uttered, and were it not for the
blood which soon commenced to flow, it
micht have seemed that tho whipping
was being done on the naked back of a

How President Is Elected.
Each state is entitled to as many elec
tors of President and Vice President at
it has Senators and lleprcscntutivo.
In each state the electors are chosen
by a plurality vote. That i, if there
are three sets of electors voted for, the
set having the largest uumber of votes is
chosen.
But a candidate for president, in order
to be successful, must have a majority of
all the electors Tho electoral rollege,
as now constituted, consists of U17 1G0
thcrcforo aro necessary for a choice.
If there are three candidates for Pres
ident and neither i f them receive a
majority of all the olectoial college, then
ihme is no choice and the election goes
to the i!oue of l.cprcscntatives.
I he House must confine thuir choice
to the three highest candidates voted for
by tbo elcetors. The representatives
vote by states, and each ttate has but
ono vote, so that the power of Delaware
is as great as that of New Yoik Kach
state has one vote. Tho majority of the
ttate delegation casts its vote. A tandi
date to be bucce,srul, must receive a ma-
jority of the stales, or nineteen states,
If Iho delegation is divided the vole or
the state cannot bo cast and is therofere

what I am to do ?''

his hands, and lokiug at Put. "Now tell
me what I can do."
