really don't know when he'll be here"
The second instance was that of lawyer
--one of the "briefess" order. Some little
debt he incurred, he directed the bill to be
sent TO his office and he would pay it in q
week or so. Our old friend called at the
time appointed. The professional indiyidu-
al was ont. The call was renewed once or
twice a week for weeks and even for months.
The professional individual was always out
After awhile \ young man appeared in the
professional individuals Office, who graci-
ously informed the collector, each time he
called, that he would let l[r--know Of
his visit. But for all that, the professional
individual continued TO be out. He always
was ont. He could not be otherwise than
out. To be "out' was necessary TO his ex-
istence. He was an out-and-onter.
At last one day, the collector getting tired
of this continual "out, and his own contin-
ual and useless tramping up and down the
stairs Of that dusty little office. propounded
various searching and percmrtory questions
to the young man who never was "out. -
The latter, taken all aback. as sailor would
say, gave the precious bit Of information that
he was the "out' individuals brother.
/ And where is your brother, sir?"
Ooh. he's been in California these two
months! Didn't YOU knew i,?"-[N. O.

The Horrors of Slavery.

We published Yesterday, statement from
the New York Courier and Enquirer, to
the effect that negro girl, a slave from Mis-

her mistress some two years ago, was de-
tanned, against her M-and by force, by
some zealons Negrophilist; that she was
placed in kind and excellent family where
she was well cared for: but that, on re-
cent visit Of her mistress to the place, she
obtained a private interview with her. and
earnestly begged to return TO her ancient
servitude and home. She persisted in her
resolution, rejected the best offers TO induce
her 10 stay, and when an effort was made
to influence her with a ruse of the horrors
of slavery, avowed that she would rather
live two years as a slave than two as free
girl.

A ShiftY judge.

A short time since they had queer case

cared nothing for appearance, and less for
dress. The latter he knew nothing about
it being left entirely to Betty, his wife,
His Betty was absent from home, once when
he started around on the circuit, leaving the
Judge to pack his clothes for the trip. He
did so, but instead of finding his shirts, he
seized on pile of his wile's what -do-call-
ems, used for like purpsse. A learned
brother who roomed with him, was much
amused few mornings afterwards, at the
queer appearance of the Judge, nothing be-
ing seen but his head, arms, and feet, his
looks of bewilderment and his soto voice

A Nocturnal Sketch.
BY THOMAS HOOD.


Even is come; and from the dark park, hark
The signal of the setting-sun-one gun
And six is sounding from the chime, prime time
To go and see the Drury-Lane Dane slain,
Or hear Othellos jealous doubt spout out;
Or Macbeth raving at that shade de-made blade
Denying to his frantic clutch much touch;
Or else to see Ducrow with wide stride ride
-Four horses us no other man can span;
Or in the small Olympic pit, sit split
Laughing at Liston while you quiz his phiz.
Anon night comes, and with her wings brings things
Such as with his poetic tongue, Young sung;
The gas up-blazes with its bright white light,
And paralytic watchmen prowl howl, growl,
About the streets and take up Pail Mall Sall
Who, trusting to her nightly jobs, robs fobs
Now thieves to enter for your cash, smash, crash,
Past drowsy Charley, in deep sleep, creep,
But frightened policeman B. 3, flee;
And while they're going, whisper low, ono 90 :"
Now pass while folks in their beds treads leads
And sleepers waking, grumble, 80 drat that cat p
Who in the gutter catterwauls, squalls, mauls
Some feline foe, and screams in shrill i'll will.
Now bulls of Basham, of prize size, rise
In childish Dreams and with roar gore poor
Georgy, or Charley, or Billy, willy nily:
But nurse-maid in a nightmare rest, chest-press'd
Dreameth of one of her old flames James Games,
And that she hears--what faith is mans--Ann's

White ribbons flourish and stout shout out,
That upward goes, shows Rose knows those bows

The Loss of a Wife.

In comparison with the loss of wife, all
other bereavements are trifling. The wife !
she who fills so large a space in the domes-
tic heaven; she who busted herself so un-
wearedly, for the precious ones, around her :
bitter, bitter is the tear that falls upon her
cold clay! You stand beside her coffin and
think of the past. 1t seems an amber color
ed pathway, where the sun shown upon
beautiful flowers, or the stars hung glitter
ing overhead Fain would the soul linger
there. No thorns are remembered above
that sweet clay save those your hands may
unwilhngly have planted. Her noble, ten
der heart lies open to your inmost sight
You think of her now as all gentleness, all
beauty, all purity But she is dead The
dear head that laid upon your bosom. rests
in the still darkness, upon pillow of clay
The hands that have administered so untir-
ingly, are folded, white and cold, beneath
the gloomy portals The heart whose every
beat measured an eternity of love lies under
your feet. The flowers she bent over with
smiles. bend now above her in tears, shaking
the dew from their petals, that the vendure
around her may be kept green and beauti-
full
There is no white arm over your shoulder !;
no speaking face to look up into the eve of
Love- no trembling lips to murmer, % it is
so sad. g.E.g. ....- ........
There is so strange hush in every room,
no light footstep passing around. No smile
to greet YOU at the nightfall. And the old
clock ticks and strikes, and ticks-it was
such music when she could hear it, Now
it seems a knell on the hours through which
you watched the shadows of death gathering
upon her sweet face. '
And every day that clock repeats that old
story. Many another tale it telleth too--of
beautiful words and deeds that are registered
above. You feel-O, how often, that the
grave cannot keep her.
