CHESS cs. BEEFSTEAK.
A MAN WINS A SUPPLY OF CIGARS BUT LUSES
HIS BREAKFAST THEREBY.
A few evenings since, two gentlemen, one
a professional chess player and the other an
amateur, met at a well—known public resort
in the village of Westport, Conn., and after
a pleasant conversation, during~which the
merits Of certain local games were discussed,
chess was proposed by the first named, to
which the other assented, first asking his
companion what odds he prop'osed to offer,
and what the stake should be. In reply the
professional said, “The st ike shall he a cigar,
and I will give you the odds 6f a knight and
the first move." It was stipulated that “a
piece if touched by the player must be
moved, and that moves once made underno
circumstances could be changed or taken.
back. The professional in treating with his
adversary evidently felt that, with his knowl-
edge of chess he had a sure thing, and could
safely rely on his superior powers, the result
of years of experience, ’to Carry him through
the most difllcult complications into which
his adversary might have'a hand in leading
him. In agreeing to the terms the amateur
distrusted himself and took occasion to hint
the likelihood of his ultimate defeat, yet
having a desire to add to his store of chess
knowledge by playing with a good player he
was willing to enter into conflict with one
who could not easily be beaten. Pending
the adjustment of preliminaries quite a
crowd assembled, and many were the specu-
lations indulged-as to what might be the
result of the contest. The first game was
opened with an advance of the Queen’s
pawn two squares, by the amateur,—a very
weak move unlessthe player knows how to
defend it. The lockers on beheld,and wink-
ing at each other, said, “Now the profession-
al’s got him.” Subsequent moves for awhile
proved-the partial truth of this, and as one
by one opposing forces were marshalled on the
board, all bearing upon the most important
strongholds of the amateur, that gentleman’s
backers, loth to relax confidence in their
friend, were compelled to‘ackno'wlcdge that
the network which the .professioual was.
weaving, bid fair to work complete annihila-
tion. Suddenly, however, the amateur moved
an apparently obscure pawn one square and
by so doing uncovered a Bishop which bore
upon the professional’s King, and cried check.
Of course he got out of check, but the ama-
teur followed up his advantage by bringing
his Queen, the most powerful piece on the
. board, to bear on the King also, and again he
cried check, and before the astonished profes—
sional had time to rccounoitre for anew
actén'sc,’nis adversary declared check mate,
and the end of the game. The professional
was of course 'surprisEd, but after ‘it. had
subsided-proposed to dduble the stake, giving-
the same odds in the play. The proposition
was accepted, and the amateur again won.
Four cigars for the amateur! “Double or
quits" were now agreed on, and the profes—
sional lost the the third game. Eight cigars

to begin carving the steak, as she was un-
bearably hungry, and wanted him to be
sure and select a tender portion for himself.
Her reproof, gentle as it was ingenious. had
its full eflfcct on the offending husband, who
was powerless to utter a word in reply.
Slamming the cover down among the “live
centers,” he finally found courage to ejacu—
late a sentence or two by the way of expla-.
nation and defense, but they were vain to
weaken the force of the projecticles by way
of argument, which the wife was able to
send against him. Several days elapsed
before the coldness between the pair was
wholly softened away, and the husband now
declares that the circumstance was fortunate
as teaching him the lessou‘thst, chess is well
enough in its way, and cigars which other
folks have to pay, good, but the peace of
mind secured by keeping early hours is in—
finitely better. He further declares that

Death of figs—r. Gordon Hall.
Rev. Gordon Hall, of Northampton, Mas-
sachusetts, died at the residence of William
Harris, on Prospect Avenue, at seven o’clock
on Wednesday morning. His disease wah
typhoid pneumonia. The ’hemorrage with
which he was attacked while opening the
services at the first Presbyterian Church
on Sabbath morning,'thc,18th, fiultimo, is
regarded by his physicians as an incident of
the fatal disease, and not: itself the cause of
death. .
The deceased was 'a son of Rev. Gordon
Hall, the first American missionary: at Bom-
bay. His mother was Margaret Lewis, an
English lady, who went out to India with
a British ofilcial’szfamily, faud became ac—
quainted with the. young missionary there.
They had four children, the subject of this
sketch being {the younger. . About 1825
two of the children died, and the parents
becoming alarmed‘for the others, the mother
sailed for Amcrieasvith them, not in time,
hoWever, to save both,'for the elder of them,
a son about four yearsold, died on the voy—
age and was buried at sea. Soon after the
mother arrived in this 'COuntry with her one
child, then a little over tvv‘o years old, she
receivgd news of the death of her husband
from cholera.
The child was brought up in New Eng—
land, was fitted for college in Ellington,
Connecticut, and graduated at Yale in
1848 with high honors, being the valedic-
torian of his class. He married the young—
est daughter of Rev. Samuel Merwin, for
thirty years pastor of the North Church in
New Haven. For a short time after grad-
uating Mr. Hall was employed as tutor at
Yale. Subsequently he studied theology
in New Haven. His first pastoral charge
was at Wilton, Connecticut, and from there
he was called to Northampton, where he
became pastor of the Edwards Church
twenty-eight years ago. Like a Beecher he
remained in that position, growing broader
and stronger at home, and sending his in—
fluence abroad, until the time of his death.
He was a man of great eum‘gy, a useful
scholar and thinker, a fine Orator, and a
gentleman of perfect integirty. For these
qualities he held an influential and command-
ing position. He was one of the visiting
committee of three at 'Andover Theological-
Seminary (an institution with which Rev.
Dr. Gulliver is now connected) the other
member’s of. the committee being President,
Seeley, and a prominent lawyer. now of Bos-
ton.
He was father of five sons and a daughter.
The elder ones of the sons are grown up and
entering upon professional life. The two eld-
est are here with their mother, and have been
for the amateur, W110 continued to Win until twith her constant attendant at the sick bed
the score marked eighty cigars to his credit.
The professional, now getting desperate, and
anxious to teach the apparently chess—igno-
rant, but exceedingly lucky amateur alessou,
as well as to retrieve his waning cigar fortune
and reputation, stumped that personage to
play one more game, at thci‘o'dds (if one hun—
dred and sixty cigars or nothing. The aina— V
teur plead to be excused on account of the
lateness of the hour, and a promise he had
made his wife to be home early and bring
with him-something for breakfast. Before
another game could be finished he said the
meat,shops would be ciosedaud he_ could
therefore not well tarry longer. HoWever,‘
in view of the exigencies of' the case, the
solicitations of his partner and a desire to
give that disgruntled personage a chance to
get. partially even, in what had thus far
proved a very uneven match, he consented.
It was a contest in which each used his best ‘
endeavors to succeed,but, strange to say, the
amateur again won. The professional, routed
and completely demoralized, *left the place
muttering to himself something which
sounded like “Luck may now and then
enable an ignorainus to score a victory, but
brains and science must triumph at last.”
Quietly he stole into the street around the
corner, to a friendly grocer’s where he in—
vested the capital necessary to obtain one
hundred and sixty cigars at five cents ‘each,
and returning, handed them to the amateur,
who gracefully received the same with
thanks. The small hours of morning had
now arrived and the contestants “homeward
plodded their weary Ways," the one to
brood over his discomfiture and ill-fortune—
the other to the apartment where a wife was
waiting and wondering when that husband
of hers would come, and whether he would
remember to make the purchase she had'
charged him to be sure to make. With one
hundred and sixty cigars inside his overcoat
he ascended the front steps of his“ dwelling,
cautiously turned the night key'in‘the front
door, noiselessly crept up to his sleeping
apartment, but to find that his'effOrts to
Wold disturbing his wife were. nsclessly
.exerted, as she had been awake all the While.
After making the excuses usually adopted on.
such occasions to show the need of his pro-
tracted absence, he retired. Next morning
the wife. was up and stirring earlier than
usual, as our hero,who was unusually sleepy,
thought, and the bell which was rung to call
him from slumbers seemed to have a sound
different from any he had previously heard
it make. Did these tones mean thatdiis Wife,
suspecting the real nature of his last night’s
tarrying, had pccped into theovcrcoat which
he had thoughtlessly tossed upon the floor,
and found in the pockets thereof the evidence
which would lead to his conviction of the high
, crime and misdemeanor of forgetfulness?
He had confidence to believe they did not.
He slept on and the hell, with its mysterious
tones rang again, and again he wondered-
Finally, when he' took his seat at the table
which had been set with more than usual
care, he was received. by the Wife with pe—
culiarly affectionate regard. The coffee she
turned out to him gave an inspiring aroma;
the bread was fine, and the butter from a
neighboring farmers, splendid. Now. said
he, let me make the morning meal complete
by cutting the steak. Hand the knife my
dear, he said, and the dear little wife passed

tion that he took especial care to avoid
getting anything 'on the clean table cloth.
Gently removing the cover'of the dish there

instead of the tempting sirloin he had been
sent for, but forgot to obtain. To make his
position more perplexing, the wife, who
knew how those cigars, got under that

_ rim ms'r REV. coupon HALL.
The first Rev. Gordon Hall father of the
subject of this notice, was born in Tolland,
Massachusetts, in 1748, and died March
20,1826. ' He graduated at Williams Col—
lege in 1808 with the highest honors. 'He
"was one of five young men of that college
who constituted what is known in mission—
ary history as . the ~haystack meetings, they
meeting at a haystack and resolving to offer
their services as missionaries. These were
in~fact the first meetings of the American
Foreign Missionary Board. Mr. Hall went
to India and was thirteen years a mis—
sionary. He ceased to engage in this
work only when he ceased to live. He was
a man of superior abilities, and was offered
a very large salary to enter the service of
the East India company,-.but he preferred
to go on with the work he went to India to
perform, and to support himself and those
dependent upon him by thepractice of med-
icine. He Was attending to patients in an
epidemic of cholera, when he was taken sick
with that disease and died.

-The Last New York Game;
At Broadway and Duane street recently,
the butt of a cigar lay on the sidewalk and
_a thread of purple smoke went up from its
ashes. A well dressed man, wearing a silk
hat that showed evidences of recent hard
usage, was eyeing the half consumedfcigar,
and was evidently'makiug up his mind to re-
cover it, He had every appearance of a
drunken man. Keeping his eye on the stub,
be straightened himself up, pulled his hat
down over his eyes, and stooped to reach the
cigar, smiling complaceutly as heexteuded
his hand toWard the. butt. 'Iuthe meantime
many persons had halted,and when the wind
caused the cigar to roll away just as he was
putting'his fingers on it, the knot of observ-
ers laughed. The managain straightened
up, and he frowned indiguautly outhose. who
weréfiarouud him. He lookedat the staff on
the tower of the Western Union . ,bnilding
and up and down Broadway, as ”though in
doubt whether he would again attempt to re-
cover the cigar. Then he pulled his list over
his eyes once more, and renewed his effort.
He fell on his knees, - pitched over on to his
face, arose to his knees again, and pained his
hand over the coveted butt. f'l'he knot of
observers had been increased tehfoldnind bets
lime offered that the cigar would again elude

‘ Suddenly the interest of the throng was
turned in another direction. A man shouted
“Stop thief! I’ve lost my watch l" and a
woman cried out that her pocketbook was
missing. About this time the man who had
been an object ofao much interest was also
missing. .
“.Go on, go on,’, said a policeman to the
crowd; "that's the latest trick."

ms SERIOUS TALK TO THE SOLDIERS OF. THE
ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE.
. CHICAGO, Nov.13.——-Mark Twain‘s remarks
at the banquet of-thc Army of the Tcnnessce
to—nigbt were in response to the following
toast:
The Babies: As they comfort as in our
rum-rows, let us not forget them in our festivi-
ies. '
Now, that‘s something like. We havn’t
all had the good fortune to be ladies; we
havu’t all been generals, or poets, or states—
men; but when the toast works down to the
babies, we stand 'on common ground—for
we’ve all been babies: It is a shame that
for a thousand ”years the world’s banquet
have utterly ignored the baby—as if he
didn’t amount to anything! If you, gentle—
men, will stop and think a minute—if you
will go back fifty or a hundred years, to
your early married life, and recontemplate
your first baby, you will remember that he
amounted to a good deal-and even something
over.
You soldiers all know that when that little
fellow arrived at family headquarters you had
. to hand in your resignation. He took entire
command. You became his lackey, his mere
bodyguard; and you had to stand around,
too. Hep'was not a commander who made
allowances for time, distance, weather, or
anything else; you had to execute his or-

there was only one form of marching in his
manuel of tactics, and that was the double

insoleuce and disrespect, and the bravest of
you didn’t dare to say a word. You could
face the death storm of Donelson and
but when he clawed your whiskers, and
pulled your hair, and twisted your nose, you
had to take it. [When the thunders of war
were sounding in your cars, you set your
faces toward the batteries and advanced with
steady tread; but when he turned on the
terrors of the war hoop you advanced in—
the other direction, and mighty glad of the
chance too. When he called for soothing
syrup, did you venture to throw out any.

you were under good discipline. And as
you went fluttering up and down the room
in your “undressed uniform,” you not only
prattied undignifled baby talk, but even
tuned up your martial voices and tried to
sing. ‘r‘Rock-a-by-baby on the tree top,”
for instance. What a spectacle for an army

I like the idea that a baby doesn't amount-
to anything. Why, one baby is just’ a' house
and a front yard full by itself; one baby can

in still one more cradle, somewhere under

burdened with his approaching grandeurs
and responsibilities as to be giving his whole
strategic mind, at this moinent, to trying to
find out some way to get his own big toe
into his mouth—~au achievement which
(meaning no disrespect) the illustrious guest
of this evening also turned his attention to
some fifty-six years ago! And if the child

Colonel John Hay, at the enthusiastic
meeting last week of the soldiers and sailors
of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, made a pleasant
little speech, in which he said: “Like
thousands of others, I went where I was
sent, and did what I was ordered, without
gaining any fame or glory, without under-
going any especial privatiou, and without
establishing any claim upon the considera-
tion or gratitude of my fellow citizens, and
when I was mustered out of the Army!
regarded the Nation as acquitteifiif any debt
toward me henceforth and for ever. In fact
the balance was largely on the other side.
Now, the case of those who suffered wounds
and privations in the service; if, of course,
wholly different. Before the men who have
lost their limbs on the battle field, who
carry rebel lead in their bodies, whose
health has been broken in rebel prisons, I
take off my hat and how my head. The
Nation can never do too much for those
men who have done and suffered so much
for us. But I think I speak the sentiments
of the vast majority of the men who went,
in and came out with Whole skins, wheuI'
say they ask no favors'from anybody by
virtue of their military service. [Loud ap-

Mrs. Abby Goold Woolsou has been giv-
ing Boston some common-sense notions
about the “Training that Girls Need." In a
paper read before the Moral Education
So'ciety, she pronounced ill health a luxury
that enormously increased the cost of living.
She advised mothers to keep their girls from
their own fate, and she asserted that girls
should be made to lead a quiet life on a sim-
ple‘diet until they are fully grown, that they
should exercise freely in the open air, that
housework should be done by them in care-‘
fullyyentilated rooms,that their dress should
be radically changed so that no longer shall
their vital‘organs be compressed or their
hips weighed down with a mass of cloth that
no luau would willingly carry. Compliance
. with these rules, she believed, would give to
the world a nobler, healthier race of women.
The object of. a girl’s mental training should
be, she said, to enable her to reason, not to
fill her brain with superficial ideas. The
prbcesscs applied to women’s minds that are
now devoted to the education of men, she;
considered would bring about the same result.
She advised that girls pursue with thorough
ness the disciplinary studies. Next to this
sheiwould place the perceptive faculties, in
which woman is now much more proficient
thin man. Woman should also be more or
less intimately acquainted with physiology,
natural philosophy, the laws of mechanics,
chemistry, political economy, the character—
ibtic's of a republican form of government,
rhetoric and natural sciences, all of which
are far more important to the girl than the
modern lanwuages. First of all parental du-
ties, Mrs. WVoolsou placed that of fitting
children, and especially girls, to earn an hon-
orable living, no matter how wealthy their
family may be, since no one is beyond the
reach of possible poverty.

Important Announcement.
If the experience of the present season has
shown anything, it has conclusively shown
that the Bottom Prices on nearly all kinds of
Building Materials have been reached, and
that the tendency of prices, from this time
forward, will be upward. Especially is this
the case with all grades of Lumber. From
the prices of mid—summer, there is already an
advance of at least ten per cent. with every
indication of a much greater one. With an
advance of three to four dollars per thousand
in lake and canal heights, and an unpre-
cedented demand in the West (justified by
the enormous crops) whence our supply comes
it is easy to see the cause and predict the per-
manence of the increase in price. For the
past few years it has been my unfortunate
privilege to follow the market down I DOWN I
DOWNI but my faith in the increasing de-
mand and the decreasing supply of good Pine
Lumber in this country, is at length justified-
and this advance finds inc with the largest
stock of ' I
Pine, Spruce & Hemlock Lumber,
and Shingles, on hand, and in process of ship-
ment, that was ever placed in this market by
any one. -
After the continual shrinkage of the past
' few years, I feel that I am now entitled to the
advance, in addition to a fair profit upon
present prices. But believing- that quick
sales, oven with small profits, is .better than
"stagnation, I have concluded toput this Lam -
ber on the Market at the present Wlwksale
Prices, adding simply the actual expenses of
transacting business.
This Lumber, purchased in June and. July,
comprises nearly two million feet of the-best
manufactures of Michigan pine,Northern and
Eastern Spruce, two million Shingles, and
nearly one million Bangor Laths. With this
asabasisIthink I may justly claim tribe
able to furnish the largest and best assortment
of lumber in this county during the present
Fall and coming Winter, and with unequal—
led storage and shipping facilities, am pre-
pared to fill all orders with a guarantee of
satisfaction surpassed by no other dealer. I
keep only C. G. Stem-us dz Co.’s Bangor tim-
ber, which is worth more and costs more at
wholesale than the Calais timhe . I sell it at
same price. It is clean, bright and free from
grit, not being rafted either here or in Maine.
I sell only Bangor Lathe which are worth
more and cost more at wholesale, than any
other kind. I sell them as low as the lowest.
I sell only the best brands of Shingle manu-
factured by the men whose names are stamp-
ed upon each bunch, and whose reputation,
with my own, are a sufficient guarantee of
the quality.
I desire above all things to furnish a good
article, and endeavor to secure that by per-
sonal examination at the place of manufac-
ture, before purchasing, and am always ready
to warrant every thing as represented. . All
my 1:}, 1g, and 2 inch lumber, in upper grades
will be surfaced two sides to full thickness,
for which no extra charge is made. I am
now closing out the last invoice of the Oscar
Fcnn Parflel Planed Shingle—and during
the coming season my stock Will be of the
following kinds : _
‘S. K. & Co., rived.
John McGraw 8.: Co., sawed,

Perhaps I’m very wrong to fret
Perhaps I’m over zealous,
But as my wife‘s a public pet,
I owu I’m madly jealous.
Her qualities are provedfalwuy,
And mine are all distorted,
While in my presence, every day,
’ , She openly is courted !
The tcnor, who smokes my cigars,
A wretch of low demeanor,
Tells her his love between the bars
0f every' cavatinal
As for the English baritone,
The one just iu‘fashion,
He does not hesitate to own
‘ Aloud his guilty passion.
The basso, a Sardiniau count,
A man of many duels,
Has dared to offer her a mount
Of cheap Brazilian jewels;
And, clinging to her leverywhcre,
Just like a plaster porous. ~
I find, when they don’t think me there,
The members of the chorus.
They deluge her with “billets doux,”
0 With flowers and protestations, ‘
I've letters home, a least a few,
From men of twenty nations.
She always has a dozen notes
When singing “Don Giovanni,”
And roses from a hundred coats,
Each night of “Puritani.”
But when in "Faust” she played‘the role
0f Margaret, so pacific.
The missivcs then, upon my soul,
Are perfectly terrificl
But as she always smiles the same,
A smile inane and tender,
On one and all, I cannot blame,
And do not dare offend her.
I merely made her firmly swear,
Never on earth to leave me
With any singer, old or fair,
And never to deceive me.
And the sweet creature kep her word
I wronged her to suspect her,
For she, from all that I have heard
Eloped with the directorl
The Oyster.
BY VANDYKE BROWN.
There’s been much wisdom wasted
On many a written page
O’er the man who found the oyster
In the prehistoric age, . .
And who first devoured that morsel,
His hunger to assuage.
1 But in Darwin's evolution
The simple fact appears
, That the oyster—noble creature,
Which stimulates and cheers— '
Outdates the human species
By a hundred million years.
He’s such an ancient settler,
I harbor the conceit,
That when the first man blossomed
Into being, all complete,
The oyster kindly laugh him
The proper thing to eat.
The oyster of the present,
Whate'er his past may he.
With shell so roughly crusted
And form so fine to see,
In his rich and juicy sweetness
Is good enough for me.
But why reduce your comfort,
Or your simple pleasure mar,
By a barnacle attachment
To Superstition’s car,
Which condemns the honest oyster
' In the months that lack an R ?
The fishermen, of Suffolk,
Whose minds are very clear,
And whose knowledge of the oyster .
Is native and sincere, ,
Assure me that they eat him
Throughout the live-long year.
I admit that in October,
When the garnered fields are bare,
When the lengthened nights are fresheued
By a keen and nipping air,
' There’s a flavor to the oyster .
That’s racy, rich, and rare.
Then irl' his fullest glory
He leaves his native coast,
And then—I’m free to own it-‘
I love the oyster most.
"Yes, waiter, I am waiting:
Bring me a Boston roast!”

Wild Roses.
~
On long, serene midsummer days
Of ripened fruit and yellowed grain,
How sweetly; by dim woodland ways,
In tangled hedge or leafy lade,
Fair Wild rose thickets you unfold
Those pale pink stars, with hearts of gold!
Your sleek patrician sisters dwell
0n lawns where gleams the shrub's trim
9
In terraced gardens, tended well,
Near pebbled walk and quaint kiosk.
In costhest urns their colors rest;
They beam on beauty’s fragrant breast!
But you in lowly calm abide,
charce heeded save by breeze or bee;
You know what splendor, pomp and pride
vFull oft your brilliant sisters see;
What sorrows too, and bitter fears;
What mad farewells and hopeless tears.
How some are kept in old, dear books.
That once in bridal wreaths were worn;
How some are kissed with tender looks,
And later tossed aside with scorn:
How some their taintle'ss petals lay
0n icy foreheads pale as they l
So, while these truths you vaguely guess,
Abloom in many a lonesome spot,
,Sby roadside roses, may you bless
The fate that rules your modest lot,
Like rustic maids that meekly stand
Below the ladies of their land!
The present is a bad time to speculate in
.stocks, and those who have held aloof from
“operating” until now had better resist the
temptation still longer. The following good
. ad',vice from the Philadcplhia North American
is pertinent: “It may be said that the men
who can affordto indulge in these perilous
ventures have already had their turn. Some
have lost more than they have gained, and
some have gained‘more than they have lost.
For them the fever has turned. For the
most part they know when to stop; and they
have stopped. It is the men who looked on
and hungcrul and thirsted While fortuneg
were passing around, yet did not quite dare
to put it t) the touch, who are now caught
in. like flurry. They have not much to lose,
but their little is as much to them as the
more of the convalescent was to ‘thoso
others: ’1“..Llatc-comers cannot afford to
risk their little, Let them remember that few
if any of rhedieaqy operators have gone to
the wall, and tin memberiug that, they
should also remember that in all these fligllty
speculations there honor mils to arrive, soon
or late, a collapse.” And when the late
comers get caught they .will realize the
value of a Government bond ever: at a low
rate of interest. Those who have glint little
money to invest should make sure .first of
the safety of the principal, and get as good
interest as they can.
