A Christmas dinner spoiied.-A lady residing
in Pear street, called black-fellow, whom she
sa passing the door with an axe on his shoulder,
& an empty dinner basket in his hand. Yesterday
afternoon, and requested him to 60 down INTO
her cellar and split load of wood which had
been recently sawed, the fellow eagerly accepted
the Job, and went to work, but, before he was
half done, an uncommony fine turkey caught his
longing eye, hanging from joist, within his
reach, and caused suspension Of operations for
while, during which, the visions Of fat holvday
dinners. of poultry and mince pies. and rotations
of old rye" quickly succeeded each others
flash through his troubled brains. and fairly made
his mouth water. with the delightful thoughts. -
In this state of excitement he seized the unoffend
ins bird. and. in twiuklng, it was closely trim
med, and snugly slowed away in his basket. and
covered with an old rag of napkin. in embryo
for Christmas, he then fell diligently to the pro-
secutlon of his labors. Having finished, shipped
his coat, picked up his basket and axe, and was
ushered into the presence Of the lady, for his
wages.
The moment the lady saw the full basket. she
thought there was something wrong, and careless,
ly asked him what he had in his basket '.Oniy
a stick of wocd!'' was the reply. 80 Well. let
me see it," said the lady, at the same time TAX
ing hold of the basket, which the fellow instant
