| BY his own account, he was 40 years old, When
brought to America, and it has been ascertained
from his recollection of Spanish governors and com

Nanny Juba has not, within the memory OF any
one now living, done any labor, except on her own
account in cultiVaiing, with considerable neatness,
a small garden, though even that has been sus-
pended for good many years. Tom, or, as II adj
dressing the old man, we should say, Daddy Tom,
till within twelve years. has abored, when 1t suited
him. For nearly ten years past his sole occupation
has been fishing, in which he manifested great skill,
supplying himself and his friends generally with the
fish of the For rather more than year
past, however, bis infirmities have prevented this
amusement, or occupation, whichever il may be
called, and he has been obliged to content himself
with the usual weekly allowance on the plantation

Youngest son, a lad on the shady side of seventy.
He died of no particular disease, but went out as
the fire does when the fuel is consumed. No one
knows of him taking any medicine. He
sometimes, in days past complained of " Rheu-

that was al hand, and whatever he used seemed

Daddy Tom, in his own land, knew something
of Mollammedsm, though it is not supposed that he
ever professed that faith. About fifteen years ago
he became a Christian, and was baptized but,
ever since then, those who conversed with him on
the subject of religion have thought that he deemed
Christ and Mohammed the>same. There was al
ways difficulty in communicating with him, ow
ing to his imperfect pronunciation of the English
language but there was no difficulty in knowing
that he faithful and true, and honored his mas
ter and the family by whom he was loved and kept
in comfort to the hour of his death.

his remains, and he was committed to the ground,

ss@lAx ON MISUNDERSTANDING the multItudinous
projects engendered by the heat of the revolution,
which have arisen in the French Assembly, one is
originated with the women of Paris, who allege
that celibacyis luxury, and therefore should be
taxed. II appeared 10 be n serious proposition, If
anything or any body can be serious in France.
We find the provisions thus described:
Ii is proposed that bachelors shall be taxed upon
arriving at the age of tenty five years, and that
the tax shall be equal in amount 10 all the other
taxes paid by the impracticable repudiator of mat
rmony on account OF real or personal estate, for
licenses or for anything else At the age of thirty
five there is again an augmentation OF the tax,
which goes on augmenting periodically, until the
cel5itaire arrives at fifty; then, if he is bachelor
STILL il remains stationary to the end of his days.
But there is remission or reduction, should he
live TO the age of the antediluvian patrarchs, he
persists in his anti-Hymeneal sentiments-so that
an octogenarian would be paying pretty dear for his
single blessedness.'
"Widowers are TO be allowed five years during
which to re- marry and If they do not, they are re-
garled as having reiapsed into ceibacy, and are
then taxed, and the tax proceeds crescendo, from
time TO time, as in the case of the bachelors, until
they arrive at fifty years they then entitled to
a discharge, and are to be forever exempt from any
further taxation on this behalf"
