CITY MISSISSIPPI WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER Is 1852

at Mr.. Prescott's table. There were Frank and
Sir Walter. and Gertrude and Alice. Frank de
INJURED little at the generosity Of his friend,
but Walter asked what his riches came for but
to make his friends happy; and the sailor was
obliged to yield as Mr.. Prescott declared that his
consent was given only condItionally.
And they were all four married month later.
Frank retired from the service at the request Of
Gertrude, and accompanied Sir Walter and Lady
Arnott on tour into Italy, where the latter
wished to improve their knowledge of the Ian
guage, while Sir Walter experienced genuine JOY
in visiting the land of the poor musician, to
whom he owed every thing. Frank, on their re-
turn, settled near the baronet's estates, and is
still as devoted friend as man can wish for; and
Alice; whose grandmother still lives in beauti-
full cottage built for her in the Park, is an orna-
ment to the class to which she has risen. Her

she is quite equal to her station; and oh, what
JOY is hers now, when the oculists have decla:ed

The Book Concern.-The following extract from
one of the New York letters of an exchange pa
per, accounts for the delay in adjusting the ques-
tion of dividing the Methodist Book Concern
situated in New York
The long pending difficulty between the Meth
odist Churches, North and South, in respect to
the mammoth book concern in this city has not
yet been finally disposed Of although the primer
pie involved was decided by the U. S. Circuit
Court in favor of the Church Southland the
Church North has determined not to appeal
The cause of the delay is said to be the confused
state of the accounts of their concern, which the
most skillful bookkeperS find difficult to unrav-
Ell, and until these accounts are streighteEel out,
it will be impossible to ascertain the value OF
the concern. The fact is, the Book Concern has
been in the hands of the most stupid incompe-
tent men that could have been called rom the
whole field of the Methodist denominations
They may have been abundantly blessed with
piety, but they have not had the least modicum
of business ct,and have gone on, heaping Dlun-
der upon blunder, until the financial department
is in almost inextircable confusion. The best
way to settle the matter would be to sell out the
whole concern to the highest bidder, and to di-
vide the proceeds"
The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-09-15

FRED DOUGLAS INsULTED.-It is said that Fred
Douglas, the Niger delegate to the Free Soil
Convention at Pittsburg, was highly insulted BY
the Hotel keeper at the Monongahele House.
Several Delegates who had stopped at that house
invited theil colofed friend (Fred, to dine with
them. Fred was no sooner seated at the table
with his friends, than the Landlord took him
by the arm and led him ont; & told him'that the
kitchen was the proper place for colered persons
to dine at his house. The friends of Fred inter-
posed, and told the Landlord that they had in
vited their sable friend to dine with them, and
if he refused to let him dine with them it would
very much injure his house.
Cant help that, said the landlord" If you are
not pleased with my course you can leave too.
That land lord will do to tie to.

Two SABBATHs.-At Waterly, R. l !, is presen-
ted the very Singular feature of two Sabbaths
every week. Almost one half Of the inhabitants
are Seventh Day Babtist, who keep Saturday
with great sacredness, and on no account viii
do any work The remainder observe Sunday as
holy day, and as studiously avoid all labor
The result is that on Saturday portion may be
seen going to church part of the stores are clos
sed and some of the factories are short-harded or
closed entirely. On Sunday the same thing is to
be observed. A part are engaged in worship
and acts of devotion, while their neighbors are
BusiIy at work, and public worship is disturbed
by the din Of business and the noisy hustle of the
crowd: Both parties appear strictly conciep-
tious, and peaceably together.-N o. Pc.

CHARACTER OF THE WITNESSES AGAINST GEN.
PrERcE.-We commend to the attention of the
whig conspitatorns, big and little, the following
paragraph from the Portsmouth (N.H.) Gazette
edited by gentleman who conducted a neutral
paper for some years at Manchester MObele
Register.
"But the best joke Of the whole affair lies in
Parson Foss pretending to be a reporter of spec
ches for newspaper. We know little Of the
man, and from what we have seen of him and
know Of the tendency of his ears; we wouldn't
trust him to report fiufsery song. The reverend
gentleman will recollect case in point, con,
cerning Mr.. Haie's speech at the State fair last
fall which plainly indicated that he cannot hear
correctly from some reason.
CAS- to Mr.. Goodale, the gentleman with the
cloven fnot is equally entitled to credence. Af-
ter what we have seen of his unscrupulous
course, and Of his miserable falsifcations, with
nevera a retraction, we would not believe the
tkhinig puppy if his character were certified to by
all the abolition saints in Christendom. In fact
the twain are tw6 of the most unscrupulous
abolition fanatics in this State"
