PeG9iag.-Three very excellent things
and Of great utility, are Reading, Con

we treat with the dead; By Converse.
tier, with the living; by Reflection with
ourselves. Reading enriches the memo

reflection forms the Judgment. But OF
these noble employmons of the soul

important, we must conft S. that readine

The following anecdote has been
sent to US by Il correspondent, who
states that it has occurred within a
month, and TO his knowledse:--A
Quaker took horse to n fair 10 be
sold; the animal was handsome, and
appeared every way calculated for the
collar, and purchaser wes soon
found. "Will you warrant him, SIR"
said the man. 81 will" answered the
Quaker, lin every respect. "-"And
to draw" added the dealer; "tor if he
will not draw, he is Of no use 10 me. F"
"Friend," said toe Quaker, "thou
wouidst be delighted to see him draw"
Upon which bargain was struck, and
the horse delivered over. The next
day he was ru' in gig; but the mo
ment he heard the rattle Of the wheels
he attempted 10 iun away, and uli
maiely kicked the veheicle to pieces,
and endangered the hives of two per.
sons in It. The animal was therefore
returned, as not being according TO
the warranty, when the cuoning Qna
ker proved himself 10 be too cunning
for the horse dealer; for, said he, ~
did not warrant the horse 10 draw. |

1900 Reward.

WHEREAS am convinced, by late disclosure Of
w facts, that my negro man N0RRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past as regular agent
in the commission Of more higlhanded thefts, than
was first aware Of to the great loss Of my neghbors
and myself and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement the 10th of
November last; therefore deem il imperative du
awaken the vigilance Of the community at large,
and particularly of Shers, Constabes, and Police of
cers, that this artu scoundrel may be apprehended,
and that he and his concealed opartne in guilt may
be brought to condign punishment. do believe, it
will appear upon his apprehension, that others more
guilty than himself have accomplished by his agency,
their dishonest purposes For fear Of naccuracy in
my last advertisement, will again describe his person.
Eorrage is about feet inches high, about "a years
old, Of dark complexion, yet not of deep black
lor; regular features, somewhat bow-egged, yet of
good figure for his height. His dress at the time he
disappeared. roundabout and pantaloons, of
dark twlled domestic CLOTH He had variety of other
clothing, and perhaps supply of money, the fruits of
his elonous agencies. The Marks however, of thir.
y five stripes, but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for atrocous theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence, will still show on his
back if examined His sober habits and apparent Fl.
deity, induced to grant him all reasonable ndul-
gence previous to this He has been trained from his
infancy as house servant, waiter, market man. car.
rage driver, SC. He has attended me in Baltimore,
annapolis, and other parts of Maryland. But he is
much better known in the District and particularly
in Alexandria, whittier he has for years, repeatedly
gone to market, and purchased goods for family use
From this date, if he be taken in the District within
ten miles of its line, within any part of Prince
Georges County, Twill give fifty dollars; if any 9th
er part of Maryland Virginia. hundred dollars;
and if in any other place, State Country, whatever
hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
COTS and charges, if secured that get him again
Fifty dollars are also offered for the legal con vcton
of any person attemptngt promote, byfoged papers
otherwise, his escape. Against all persons harbor.
