AN IRISH GRAcE.-Some years

AN IRISH GaAcE.-Some years
ago, when the Duke Of Devonshire
paid visit to his estates in Ireland
the steward of the mansion at which
his Grace intended 10 soiourn, called
all the domestics together to tell
them how to demean themselves,
telling them among other things, that
their master was much higher than
a Lord--he was Duke; sand" said
he quantity, "whenever he speaks to
you, you must say your Grace %
This made deep impression upon
a housemaid whose province it was
to conduct the Duke to his sleeping
apartments. When on the stairs
the Duke said, good humoredly, "well
my girl, what is your name ?" The
girl, thinking of the stewards in
junction, put up her hands and began,
"For what I am going to receive, the
Lord make me truly thankful"

E During the prevalence of the
epidemic in Virginia, in 1S49, the
negroes on the different plantations
became dreadfully alarmed, and
thought they would certainly die
with it. Among others, in one of the
upper counties, was negro boy, who
having heard his father say that the
cholera would soon be along that way
left his work one day, and betook
himself to tho woods Hero he was
found soon after, by his overseer,
last asleep. Being taken to task by
him for leaving his work, he excused
himself OIL the ground that, "not be-
ing prepared in mind to die" he had
gone to the woods to mediate"
But" said the overseer, "how was
1t that you went asleep?" swell
don't know 'zactly," responded the
negro, 'butI speck must have over
prayed myself!"
