Negro Sermon.

While residing, d few years ago, in
the Monumental City, l used sometimes
to 70 on Sunday to small church near
my residence TO hear somewhat famous
negro preacher. The church had been
built by few benevolent gentlemen.
as place Of worship for their slaves
The preacher. himself a slave, was an
old negro, famed throughout the city as
perfect original specimen af magma
ton and hnmor. and more especially for
his very unique construction of the di-
vine Word. He frequently numbered
among his hearers the elite Of the city,
drawn thither' in the hope of hcarin-
some new thing , and truth to say they
were seldom disappointed. To give
some idea of his style--necessarily I'M
perfect to an out slider, for his gestieuls-
ton was peculiar and forcible-I will
narrate two naoroeqa1: In describing
Christ's entrance into Jerusalem, he
said +: We'll, my bruddren, when de peo-
pie in 'Rusalem heard de Lord was com
ing, dey bandoned der okerpashion, and
cut for de subbub crowding ira de gate,
Use no doubt, like a flock o sheep and
soma broke of do brrnches off de trees,
aud t'rowed 'em down. and some t'rowed
down straw and hay, and de rest took off
Ger clothes-not all of dem, l 'spect-
and tru 'em down in de road But twas
no use, my breddren wid all they could
do, dey c0uld'n stop dat are colt he kim
along, and went right in de gate, easy
as nuffiu' = On another occasion, when
striving hi. utmost to bring about a re-
vival, he elevated his humble flock sew
eral pegs in Importance He said =
Now, if any Of you niggers t'ink dat
Cause you're black, and poor and mis-
cradle, you'se of no great Conscience in
de Lords eyes, you'se vastly st ken, [
spec as l could prove by many pints OBJ
de divine Word but one viii be 'hcient
for your dull comprehensions. De Lord
says, in one place, God will not let even
sparrer fall to de ground widout His
notice , and IN 'nuder place He says,
Are not two sparrar sold Cor farden' -
A iarden', would inform you, is 'sposed
10 be bout as much as a cent. Well,
den; now, il the Lord takes s,L ch
care of sparrar, worth only half cent,
of how much 'poriance, my dear brud-
dren, in His eyes, are you five and six
hundred dollar niggers l''-Knicherbock-

4 Ghoul in Valparaiso.

We learn from the Valparaiso Herald
that an extraordinary excitement pre-
walls in that place, in consequence Of a
report having arisen that an individual
40 one knows of which sex-ls in the
habit Of devouring any number of chill
dren he or she can get hold Of The ju>
venile population is of course in as great
terror a. the pappas and mammas and
one day boy, on being asked by a
Frenchman for light to cigar, took
to his heels il such trepidation, that he
stumbled and rubbed the skin of the
point Of his nose. This was seen at
glance to be "the first bite OF the ghoul -
and the exasperated populace made a
rush at the monster, and would have
torn him to pieces ii he had not been
rescued by the police These put him
in carriage and whirled him of towards
the station-house the crowd gave chase,
and for Two miles or so ran hooting and
yelling after the carriage everywhere
the alarm spread, and the mob increased /;
they poured through the streets Ike a
torrent, and ladies, as they swept by,
crossed themseles, and exclaimed "a
revolution! But the unfortunate pris.
oner was safely landed at the station
house, aud the mob, by thousands,
pressed round, eager and furious; then
the story ran This is the man who
eats all our children he has been at it
two years and half he has eaten up
one hundred and ten infants ~ F'Two
hundred ~ SAYS another. "Two hun
dred and fifty !" says third. .'He eats
them raw - "He broils them on
gridiron I" ''He makes them into sau-
sages and sells them - The end of the
adventure WIS, that as the mob seemed
determined not to raise the seige Of the
stalion-house, the Frenchman was dressed
IN some disguise, let ont by private
door, and 5, escaped for the time But
the most curious part of the story is to

a Rarberous operatiou.

A few weeks since, youth, l9 years
of age, entered in bar ber's shop, in
Nassua street, FIR the purpose Of getting
his hair, which OF frey hue, colored
black, The barber exerted his skill on
the young mans hair, and for his service
demanded SO This amount was more
than the youth had with him, and he
requested that an apprentice of the bar
Der might be allowed to accompany him
to his residence, and then receive the mo-
ney. This arrangement was pronounced
satisfactory, and both started, but before
reaching his house the youth gave his
companion the slip, and was not seen
again until yesterday, when the BARRIERS

shop. A police was Immediately called
to arrest the young man, and he was
conveyed to the Tombs, closely followed
by the barber and his man. The barber
informed the magistrate Of the nature of
the offence committed, and requested
that the Young man might be locked up
The latter, on being asked what he had
to say, replied that he had been the vic

pulled off his cap, and, to the astonish-

that his head had been dyed pea-green

Swedish superssi,ions of the swallow.

In Scandinavia the swallow is looked
upon with sort of love and reverence
and it is considered sinful to destroy the
bird or its nest This kindly feeling
towards it is said to have thus origiDa-
ted When our Saviour was crucifed,
a little bird came and perched upon the
cross, peered sorrowfully down upon
the sufferer, and twitted, "Hugsvsls.
svala, svala. Honom'- is. console,
console, console Him; and hence it OBJ
tanned the name Sarala In c9nse-
quence of the commiseration evinced by
the swallow towards the Redeemer,
Heaven ordained that blessings and pros
perity should ever afterwards attend on
those who protected it and its nest. 1t
is furthermore said that, for long time
afterwards, it would often sit upon the
cross but when this was taken down by
the enemies of Christendom, and buried
in the earth, it flew sorrowing away
from the spot. When, however, at an
after-period, the cross was recovered, il
returned, and frequently made it its rest
ing place. For this cause, Kors-messa,
or Holyrood day, was marked with a
swallow on many Ruustafrar, or Runic
staves-the time tallying with the mi
grafton of that bird. In Scania the su-
persticious feeling towards the swallow
is carried somewhat far. They say that
if one shoots at, or otherwise molests
this bird, it is sure, in return, TO salute
the enemy in the eye, and that the disa-
greeable application will inevitably cause
total blindness.-Lloyd's Scandinariaa

4 TYPE OF THE TIMgs Few incl

element about dark last evening, by a

An AWFUL TRAGEDY.-At Randolph

An AWFUL TRAGEDY.-At Randolph,
Mass. on the 2lst ult., while Mrs. VIII
bur was seated with her seven children
at the breakfast table, her husband, Au-
gustus Wilbur, struck her on the head
with an axe, nearly cutting off her head
with the same instrument. This horrible
deed he followed up by cutting his own
throat with razor, So that he died al
most Immediately. The neighbors, sum-
moned By the children, found the two
corpses side by side on the floor, and
the two youngest children still at the
table tied in cir chairs as usual to keep
them from f4lling. The Oldest is about
fifteen. And what puts this double
murder almost beyond bslief, Mr.. Will
hur and his wife are said 10 have always
lived happily together; they were In
easy circumstances be WIS temperate
man, and regular attendant with his
family on public worship; and no cause
is known for the commission of crime
which sends two sous suddenly to their
account and makes orphans Of whole
family. Mr.. Wilbur was about forty
years old, and ewned the cottage IN
which be lived, and farm IN Marshseld

Statue of Washington

W learn from the VI ashington Senti-
mel that Clark Mills, the sculptor, has
entered into preliminary arrangements
for the execution Of the equestrian statue
of Washington, in bronze, for which the
last Congress made an appropriation =
The Sentinel says:
From what we have learned on this
subject. interesting to all who revere the
name OF the Father Of his Country, the
statue viii be of Immense proportions,
the head Of the horse to be eight feet IN
length, or four times larger than in the
natural subj CT, and the nose Of Washing
ton ffteen inches in leng b. These
points will ifoId some idea of the COM
p.eted size Of the statue. The design
now is to elevate it TO height Of seven
enty feet, that it may be seen miles dis
tAHt, from every direction
1t viii be remembered by the readers
Of history, that, after midnight march,
the American army approached Prince
ton, and there engaged the British il
one Of the hottest contests CT the revola-
non. Al first, the latter, with fixed bay
onets, compelled the former to retreat,
with considerable loss Washington,
with the main BODY of the army then
came on, and renewed the attack With
great spirit. which finaliy resulted in VIC
tory to the American forces. The horse
Of Washugt. had rushed inpetu' uSly
TO near the .iaeS Of the BRUSH hosts,
and there halted exposing its illustrious
rider 10 the leaden hail of the enemy.
The artist has chosen, for the exercise
Of his skill, the incident of the bat le, as
