 i Negro Boy in ths Wssr Iadiss.--irh negro hoys arr cunning imps, On my last voyage to Jamaica, while my vessel was l,ing al St Anne's Bay, had ogo PoTt Maria to look for cargo; and on my way thitler, near Ora Cabeca, came to one oi ''e small rivers that empty themselves lno ii'e little bays along the coast--l think ii was called the Sah Gut. When at some distance, had observed A negro boy belaboring mule most heartily; pu' pc fore got up he had ieft off his humping ana a's- mounted, and now appeared in earnest talk win h'r beast. which. with fore-legs stretched out hr'n' anu ears laid down, seemed proof against all argu- ments to induce him 10 enter the water. auNshle Was all animaton and his eyes flashed like ire-fles. Who-o! you no go oberl Berry wel-me bet you fppenny me make you go-Noi Why for you no betl-why for you no go obert' Here the mule deyour the poor animals in that climate. |" "Oh! you do bet-berry well-den me try" The young ras- cal (he than ten years old) disappeared in the bush, and returned in few seconds with some strips of fanweed, few sual pebbles, and branch of the plant To put three or four pebbles in each of the muIes ears, and tie them up with fam weed was but the work of minute. He then jumped the animals back, turned round, put the plant to his tail, and of they went, the negro himself would say, l" like mad massa." Into the th.y plunged --the little fellow grnning and showing his teeth in perfect ecstacy. Out they got the other side head and ears downtaii and heels up-and the boy F arms flying about if they did not belong 10 him and lost sight him he went over the rocky steep at full gaop, where false step would have pre- cipitated them into the sea beneath, from whence there would have been but small chance of escape. No, no; butchers boy is nothing to n negro boy the may ride like the deuce, but the other s the very deuce himself riding. About two hours after. wards reached Port Maria, and in open spact the stores, there sat, rather lay, young Quashie eating cakes, and there also stood the mule eating guineagrass, and looking much chee, flu thaH when first saw him at the Salt Gut. "Well Quashie," 1 said, "you have got here l see, bu which of you won?' "Quashie win, massa-Quashi, never lose.' " But will he pay?'' inqured,- ''Qnashie pay himself You see, Mass' Buecra, massa gib Quashie tenpenny-bit for gras for mule. Quashie bet fppenny him make him g ober de Gut-esaashie win: Quashie hab hPpenny io cake, mule hab 6ppenny for rass.'-IGeorge Cruik shank's Omnibus.

9 Assaszrafios.- BatesviIe (Arkansas,) New gives an account of the murder of young man o that town, Mir. Nicholas E. Burton, son of Dr. P. P Burton. He had been riding out on business, and passed Dr. Trust c. Aiken's with whom his father previously had dispute. On his return, Aiken con ceaed himself by the road, and shot young Burton in the back. Eleven buckshot entered his back and head. Aiken has made his escape. One thousand dollars reward offered for his apprehension.
 The same paper adds:
 ssNews has reached from authentic source, that Mir. William s. Mosley, of St. Francis county, was waylaid and murdered, near his own residence, Saturday last. The assassin had not been dlsco- sered when informant Jeff.

 From this question it appears that New Orleans is to be the port to be visited by the steamers, and are authorised to state that during Mir.

No time to Read.-We have often encountered men who profess to believe they have no time to read.- Now think of it there have always been men of such characters the points of which are easily sum- med up.
 Vine times out of ten they are men who have not found time confer any substantial advantage either upon their families or themselves.
 They generally have time to attend public barba- cues, camp meetings, sales and singing schools, but they have time to read.
 They Tequently spend whole days in gossiping, tipping, and swapping horses, but they have'no time to read.''
 They sometimes lose day asking advice of their neighbors; sometimes day in picking up the news, the price current aud exchange, but these men never have s'time to read"
 They have time to hunt, to fish, and to fiddle, to drisk, to ''do nothing" but 'no time to read."
 Such men generally have uneducated children, un- no energy, no spirit improvement, no love of know edge they live ''unknowing and unknown" and often die unwept and unregretted.

aloof last Spring, and gave the combatants clear

settle the contest. They took a breathing spell,
