ANSWERING a Fool ACCORDING 70 HIS
FoLLY.-The American Messenger for
August has the following: During the
month Of November, 1943, a clergyman
and an atheist we're in one of the night
trains between Albany and Utica. The
night being cold, the passengers gath
cred as closely as possible around the
stove. The atheist was very ~loquacious,
and was soon engaged in controversy
with the minister. In answer to an in
quiry Of the reverend gentleman as 10
what woulds be mans condition after
death, the atheist replied: Man is like
q pigi when he dies, that is the end oil
him. As the minister was about to re,
ply. a red-faced Irish woman at the end
Of the a sprang up, the natural red 81
her face glowing more intensely with
passion, and the light of the lamp falling
directly upon it, and addressing The cler-
gyman in a voice peculiarly startling
and humorous from its impassioned tone
and the richness or lis brogue, ex-
claimed: 'Arrah, now, will We not lei
the haste alone? Has he not said he's a
pig? And tile more you pull his tail
the louder he'll squale!' The effect on
all was electric; the clergyman apollo
gized for his forgetluluess in attempting
to make any reply to such an assertion,
and the atheist was mute the remainder
Of the journey.

SOUTHERN CHOLERA ANEcDoTE The
Richmond Republican, in commenting
upon the Cholera, remarks that at least
five blacks die TO one white, on account
Of their having less control Of their ap.
petites, in addition to their belief that "a
mans time is tixed.' relates the fol-
lowing anecdotes
Y hat is amusing wen in so serious a
matter as an attack Of the cholera, is tie
uniform ~pertinacity with which its col
ored subjects will deny to their medical
attendants that they have been eating
any thing which could make them sick.
An eminent physician Of our city in
formed US that on being called 10 negro
suddenly attacked with cholera, he
asked him whether he had been eating
fruit or vegetables. ooh, no SIR was
the reply, nothing Of the kind What!
have yeu ate no apples or cherries3'
: No, no. said the negro, Il lever eats
'em any time Of the year. Well, /
believe you have,' said the doctor, and
III prove it in a very short time.' The
physician administered a vomit, the re.
suit Of which was the election of about a
quart Of apples, stems, seeds, and all.
Well said the doctor II thought you
told me you had not been eating apples.
Look at those. Are they not apples?'
: They does look like 'em, sir.' Are
they not appless' yes, sir, they are,
that's a fact swell, how did they get
into you, if you did not eat them?'
: Please God, massa, don't know, but !
never cal any thing Of Me kind The
TO which our medical friend
was, that the only way to get the
truth out Of a negro is to vomis ii out Of
him, and that, even then, he wont own
it.

To HAVE FIVE MUrToN,-Thc sheep
as soon as killed, should be disembow-

Of Che Is, that the warmth Of the body,
carried off by the loss Of blood, is fer a
