* The Tempting Cup.
Grief banished by wine will come again,
And come with adeeper shade ;
Leaving, perchancc, on‘ the soul a stain, '
Which sorrow .lratlr never made.
Then fill not the tempting, glass for me,
If *mouraful, I‘will not be mad ;’
Better sad,.beca'use 'we are sinful, be,
Than sinful because we are sad.
Tire Encampment.
The New Haven Coerrbr of Friday says. :1—
The arrangements for .the brigade encamp-
ment, which .opens two weeks from next Mon-
day, at Norwalk, involve no Small amount of
detail and active labor; The tents andothér
equipage'will pass through here from Hart-
ford on the 20111 inst. There'will be five car
loads. ‘Bates & Co., of this city, have made
a contract with the State to do all the State
trucking, including the transportation of the
equipagc frOm the depot at Norwalk to the
camp ground and back, and this work will be
done by two double trucks or platform carts,"
and two double teams which go‘ and return
overland, and which will carry the malls twice
a day from .the Norwalk‘post office to 'lthe ‘
camp. The work will belunde'rjhe charge ofi
Quartermaster S. Park Brown, of the Second;
Regiment, who has a responsible position
with the contract'mgfirm, and will manage , ,
the work. He rhascontracted to furnish thiri;
ty large casks, which will be sunk in the ,
ground for. the water supply for the camp.“
The water will come from the city supply of
Norwalk, and the filling is done by other par-
ties. The quartermastcr goes from here on
Monday, the 201b, to the camp location, the
day the camp eq-aipage is sent on. He has in
charge the work of erecting 150 tents, all of
which will be floored, and it is propable that
at the meeting of the Ofiieers’ Association of
the Second Regiment to be held soon, it will
be voted to have all the tents erectedand
floored. The lumber will probably be Order-
ed from Albany. Capt. Crowc, Of Co. D, 4th
Regiment, of South Norwalk, has the con-
tract from the State for the erection of the
barracks for the artillery horses and to floor
the tents of the chief officers, both those of
the General and staff and the Colonel and
staff, also the sinksfor the use ‘Of ‘tlre regi-
ment, fwhich willhe 'three innumber, each 50

cater for the Grays, Co. I, of Meriden, the
Colonel and staff of the Second Regiment and
the Second’s Band (American Band of Provi-
dence). Peck, of the restaurant in the Mer-
chants’ Hotel, takes the National Blues and
the Sarsfield Guards. .Alfif’l’homas, on Court ‘
street, has the Light Guards and will run a
restaurant for transient custom, and Jansen,
lager beer dealer, the City Guards, while in
the Fourth Regiment, catering is ‘ done by
Norwalk-and Soutthorwalk men principally.
All the State allows per diem for rations is
thirty cents per man; ' 'The individual cost
for the catering is from $6 per week. to $10,
according to the quality. The New Haven
contractors for catering have joined together
and chartered a sloop to convey their heavy
portable necessaries such as ranges, stoves,
etc., sharingvtheexpense mutually. Liberal
and very, satisfactory terms have been made
by the railroad company for- the transporta-
tion by rail, and private parties will send

cable. Friday will be the great day for visi-
tors and lively times will be had on the rail-
road lines when the .boys get located under

Written for the Gazette.
Candidates.
Candidates for what? Not for the presiden-
tial or the gubernatorial chair; not for any
secular office of large or small stipend, honor-
able or otherwise, but for the vacant pulpit
of} the [Congregational Church at Seaweed-
port.
Some months since the incumbent of the
aforesaid church gave up his charge, and
whilst he waits to become the shepherd of a
new flock, his old flockis looking around for
a new shepherd. And it is surprsing how
many there are who would like to take the
oversight of the hundred shepherdless sheep
here, and lead them into green and dry pas-
tures; and how difficult it‘ is to find one ex-
actly fitted for the place, of suitable age, tal-
ent and tact. ,
0f the large number who have “put in an
appearance" for a Sabbath or two, and who
doubtless “did their level best,” not one
seems to meet the exigenees of the case.
“Smart men” all, and yet all of the hundred
sheep are not ready to follow any one of
them. What the difficulty is we hardly
know unlessit be the fear of short and scanty
pasture. We write, therefore, to inform the
clergy in particular and the world at large,
that the field here is still open, and that
we are waiting and quite anxious to receive a.
fcw'more hundred applications; and we hope
that our own state and all the neighboring
states will promptly respond.
Professors of TheOlOgical Seminaries, se'nd
on the candidatcslwithfirc least possible dc-
lay. Pastors of churches. who have “dear
friends" and talented “without charge,” send
them on. You who have brothers in the
ministry, or cousins, first, second or third, or
relations of any degree, no matter how dis-
taut, or acguaintances, and who are flockless,
send them on. There is a chance for them
in Seaweedport. If the world stands long
enough they shall all have a hearing, and b;
at least one sermon show us what talent they
have for the situation. And when election
day comes, as it surelywili, in the remote if
_ not near future, then Thomas, 'Richard or
Henry, or some one with an equally good
name, will “get the cal .” .
As a stimulus to speedy and earnest appli-
cation allow us to say that our sanctuary is
one of the very best, and. the devil has no
mortgage upon it. The people also are “up
to the times” in intelligence, and are neither
poor nor parsimonious, (we would say that
that they are rich if we were not afraid that
they might in some way hear of it and be
puffed up thereby )
Tney have also a parsonage fit for any Doc-
tor of Divinity in reality or expectancy.
Furthermore, the salary is “satisfactory.”
Besides, this, people in their long‘history were
never known to overwork a minister,. They
are unusually anxious to make his burden
light, and to this end are willing part of the
time to browse around and get their spiritual
food without the shepherd’s help. (If we
thought they would not hear of it we Would
say that they are very remarkable about this.)
Therefore, if any one knows of any one
who would like the situation, which is more
sunny than we can describe, do not: fail to
inform us. Lay aside’all‘false modesty and
all timidity and write at once. We are ex-
ceedingly anxious to swell the list of appli-
cants, as with every additional name our
courage and hOpe increase. .
All newspapers, religious and secular, in
our own land and in foreign lands, will con-
fer a great favor by coming the above, once
at least, and forwarding to the subsericr.

The city was astonished, and delighted as
have as much Western Union as he needed to
control that gigantic concern. Selovcr, Keene
the Californian, and other operators were in
a tight place with various stocks that they
had, and they appealed to Gould to help
them. Gould agreed to dortlris, for he was
short of the stocks they were overloaded
with, and he joined the confederacy upon an'
agreement that they would let him have 70,-
000 shares of their stock, (just enough to
save him from loss,) and that as a matter of
safety" they should unload their Western
Union. 'They' did so,—Gould’s brokers
bought every share ”of Western Union they
put upon the market. By this smart operation
he got stocks enough at a low price to cover
what he needed, and got possession of West-
ern Union. It was a wonderfully acute trans-
action, and he made a mint of money by it.
Naturally they were indignant at this piece of
sublinrated rascality, and Keene tried to shoot
him. Sclover did not attempt to avenge him-
self with the pistol,'but he went for Mr.
Gould thevfirst'time he met him,and knocked-
him down an area, and pounded him till he
was half killed. Seldver says he did it to
brand him as a liar, a thief, a scoundrel, and
aman who is incapable of doing a fair or
square thing. 'Gould is, doubtless, the most:
unscrupulous man living, as well as one of.
the most shrewd and daring. He knows no
such thing as a friend, and to- make. a point
in the market would sell out his grandmother.
He was not true even to his old partner,
Fisk, and no man on the board who has ever
done business with him, has escaped, provid-
ed it was for his interpst to play him false.
THE CHARTER OAK.
The turn of the tide in life insurance has
come. The insurance companies of Hart-
ford, and the promiricnt citizens, determined
that the old Charter Oak, with its splendid
record, should not go down, and they rallied
to save .it. Marshall Jewell, exLPostmaster
General, and one of the most eminent manu-
facturers of Hartford, has accepted the pres-
idency, and'a board of men of similar capac-
ity and character second him. The old com-
pany will go on, and pay dollar for_ dollar.
It is well, for the ‘ruin of the companies was
making trouble everywhere. The unnum-
bered thousahds who have the hopes of fam-
ilies based upon life insurance, want to have
some assurance that their helpless heirs will
get what they contracted for. The weak
those remaining. with perhaps one or two
exception, may be considered sound:
' BEER.
We have had no famine—400d has been
plenty during the railroad disturbances, but
there has been a drouth of beer. The beer.
made in the city is very bad, and the better
class of people get their supplies entirely
cars, and there is never a large stock on hand.
The railroad troubles interfered with rans-
portatiou, and there has been a. drouth.- The
beer drinkers go up and down atlrirst, and
they mourn for their favorite beverages, and
will not be comforted becarise they are not.
There are fifty car-loads of beer a day from

He was a singularly grave nrarr, even for a
sexton. For nearly half a century he had
been a public functionary—lrad performed
the conspicuous duties of a sexton; yet no
onchad ever seen him smile. Occasionally
hc joked, but. he did it in such afuncral marr-
_ncr that no one could accuse him of levily,
One day he was standing on the church
steps wiping his melanclrdv features with a
red bandanna. A hearse stood near, and
three or four carriages were drawn up behind
it. The notes of the organ floated out of the
windows with solenrn effect. A strantrer
came along. and said— ' .—.
"Funeral ?”
And‘tlrc old sexton gravely ,bowml his
head; it was.
“Who’s dead ?”
The old man again wiped his brow and
gave the name of the‘ deceased.
“What complaint?" asked the inquisitive
stranger.
Solemnly placing his bandunna in his hat
and'covcring his bald head, the old sexton
made answer—
There is no complaint; everybody is en
lirely satisfied.”— ll’orcester Press.

A Burlington Idyl.
It, was the wild midnight. The tame mid-
night was Off-watch and had gone to bed three
hours before. A storm brooded over the cast-
ern heavens. It was a thoroughbred brood
storm. Hop-brewed, for it was coming from
the yeast. A lithe form cowered at the gar-
den gate. Many a manly form has been cow-
ard at just such gates, ever since summer
nights, and gnats, and beauty, and love, and
June bugs were invented.
“He does not come,” she murmured softly, ~
as she peered into the darkness. “I cannot
see him. I will call him."
She was wrong. If she couldn’t see him,
she Certainly couldn’t call him with the same
hand. A manly step came scrapingdown the
sidewalk.‘ It was Desmond.
She threw open the gate, and the next irr-
stant he clasped in his great, strong arms
twenty-seven yards of foulard, three yards of
r'uching; seven dozen Breton buttons and a
pompcdour panicr as big as a dog house. It
was all his own.
“All is lost,” Ire exclaimed ;- “Constance de
Bclvidcre, the Russians have crossed the Bal-
kans. We must fly.”
Constance was a noble girl. She only said,
“Whither shall we fly ?"
He wanted to fly to some lone desert isle,
but she submitted an amendment providing
that they should fly to the ice cream saloon.
. They flew.
In the crowded saloon, where the soft light
fell upon fair women and brave men, and
the insects of a summer night fell in the ice
cream freezer. They spoke no word.
When two sentinent human beingspre ins
gulfing spoonfuls of corn starch and eggs and
skimmilk, language is a mockery.
At length Desmond broke the tender si-
lence. He said:
“More, dearest?”
She smiled and bowed her lovely head, but
did not speak. She was too full for utterance.
Desmond gloomily ordered more. And
more when that was gone. Andasupple-
ment to that. And an addendum to that.
And an exhibit to that.
Gloom sat cnthroned upon his brow. Con-
stance saw it. She said ;
“What is rt, dearest ?”
He spake not, but sighed.
A dreadful suspicion stabbed her heart. like
a knife.
“Desmond," she said, “you are not tired of
me, darling!”
“By heavens, no,” said he, and then he
looked (and thought) unutttrable things.
Her brow lightened up with a ray of celes-
tial intelligence.
“I see,” she said, tapping the empty plate
with her spoon. “Too cold. Signed, C.
Morbus.”
He denied it bitterly, and bade her remain
where she was while he settled with the man.
She, guided by the unerring instinct of her
sex, pcepcd through the curtains of the sa-
loon. She saw her Desmond holding earnest
discussion with the man. She saw the man
shake his head resolutely in answer to Des-
mond‘s pleading looks and appealing gestures.
She saw him lock the door, take out the key,
put it in his pocket and lean up against the
door. She saw her own Desmond draw from
his own pockets and pile up on the counter a
pearl handled pocket knife, six nickcls', four
green postage stamps, a watch key, two lead
pencils, a memorandum book, a theatre ticket
— of the variety dcnomination~ a pocket
comb, an ivory tooth pick, a shirt stud, onc
sleeve button, a photograph of herself, a pack-
age of trix, two street car checks, a card with
a funny (wicked) story on it, a silk handker-
chief and a pair of gloves. And then she
knew that Desmond was a bankrupt, and
when the man swept the assets of the concern
into a drawer and opened the door, she sobbed
convulsively, “And it wasn’t mine extrava-
gance which hath did this thing.”
They did not talk much on their way home.
Once she had asked him if he were rich, and
he only said:
“Enormously.”

Queer Friendship of a Cat and
Horse. ,
When Mr. Huntington removed from East
Bloomfield to this city a-‘ white cat was left
upon his premises there. This cat had been
a great pet with two little boys of the family,
and cried so much aerut the old place, miss;
ing the boys, that Mr. H. brought her up to
the city. During the spring he also brought
the stallion Narragansett here, whom the cat
at once recognized as an old acquaintance,
having been accustomed to daily visit his box
stall when in the country, to watch for mice
about his feed box, or for a quiet nap, and in
due time the two became warm friends. Upon
the arrival of Narragansett at Mr. H’s stable
drew the cat at once renewed his daily visits
to his box, at which the horse seemed pleased.
Last Monday evening the cat troubled the
family by continual crying, refusing food, till
at last Mr. H. said she wanted to get into the
barn, which was provca the inomcnt Mr. II.
started for it. Immediately in the barn the
cut when to where Naragansett stood, making
herself a nest in front of his fore feet, under
his head, and expressed her comfort by her
quiet. As Mr. H. returned to the house, the
barn was left Open in case the cat wished to
come again to the house. In the morning, as
M’r'. I-I. wcntto his horse, there was till puss,
as comfortable as could be, close to the feet
of Narragansett, together with a little family
of five, and the horse evidently aware there
was something by his foot he would hurt
should he step about much. The cat seems
to . have no fear, but goes and comes as she
likes, while Narragansett, by way of amuse-
ment, will oftcri put his head down to the
little fanrily as if to see how they all get
along. Should the old cat happen to be there
during these frequent inspections she mani-
fests no uneasiness, while should children or
strangers disturb her by a look even, Kittie
would soon hide her little family, as she fre-
quently has, in some new place.——Roclrrstcr

A stalwart man rushed into a doctor's of-
fice in Newark, Ohio, the other day, with the
cry: “For God’s sake, pump me out quick 1"
“What is wrong with you ?” inquired the
doctor. “Get the pump ready while I am
telling you. I am burning up inside. Hurry
I took a drink down on Gingerbread Row.
They have put a job up on me. Iam‘poison-
ed.” The doctor suddenly interposed: “Why
I smell something burning myself ;” and
opening the patient‘s waistcoat found a hole
three inches in diameter burned in the shirt-
front. While the stalwart citizen was taking
his drink he had dropped a cigar stump be-
tween his waist-coat and shirt. Didn‘t you
smell smoke 2r” asked the doctor. “’You are
right, I did, but I thought it was coming out
of my mouth.”
