4 street Dialogue

Regu ar 90 for letting people do as they
choose about Slavery-that's my Democracy.
If they want it, let them have It, and if they
don't want it, let them do without it. Why
isn't that right.
hdependent-You couldn't suit me better
only you must carry out the principle 10 the
end. Some favor the plan of allowing part
to hare slaves or not, as they may think best,
and compelling the rest to be slaves, whether
they like 1t or lump it. But the true rsle is to
let every one decide for himself first whether
he will have slaves if he can get them and Sc
condly, whether he shall be a slave, fany ono
is willing to take him in that capacity. Let the
People decide for themselves is my motto
not one for another, hut every man for himself.
Why isn't that true Democracy?
Here 'Inlepenfent looked up and saw
nothing of Regular but his co,t-tail, horizont-
ally extended, turning the next srcet-corner

The Joking Clergymau.

Rev, DR.. Byles was the original compound
of religion and mlrh, conspicuous in the latter
part Of the last century, in New Engand.-
With Il good heart, mnd of stable principles,
and decent reverence for his holy office, he
nevertheless possessed buoyant and general
How OF spirits, constantly running over with
puns and witty conceits. lie maintained his
connection with his the Hollis street, church
for forty three years. He was hale vet aged
man when the Revolutionary war began, and
In his political predictions leaned toward the
royal side.
In May, 1717,lt was deemed necessary to ar
rest him as Tory. He was ordered to be put
on board IL guard-ship and sent to England
subsequently the sentence was changed to
confinement III his house. A sentinel was kept
before his door day and night, whom he was
wont to call his "observ-a-tory." At the last,
the vigilance Of the Board of WI ar relaxed,
and the sentinel disappeared; after a while he
was replaced, and after little removed alto
gether.
The Doctor used pleasantly to remark, that
he had been "gulrded, regarded and disregard
ed" Once the Doctor tried to have the senti-
mel let him 90 after some mix for his family {:
but he was firm and would not. lie then ar
gued r. lie case with the honest but simple fe..

he neighbors were filled with wonderment to
see their pastor walking in measured strides
before his own door, with the sentnels gun al
his shoulder, and when the story got abroad it
furnished food for town gossip and merrlment
for several days.
The Doctor had rather a shrewish wife so
one day he called at the old ds'ilery that
stood IN Lincoln street, and accosted the pro-
prle,or IN these words
"Do You stlll:"
"rhat Is my business" replied Mr.. Hill, the
proprietor.
"Wcll, then" said the Doctor, 81 should like
to have you go and still my wife,"
tie served rather an ungalant trick upon this
same good lady at another time. He had some
curostles which people occasionally called to

then 'ln suds," and, begged her husband to shut
her in closet while he exhibited his curlos-
itles. he did so. After exhibiting everything

greatest curiosity to the last;" and opening
the door, he exhibited Mrs. B. TO the ladies'

authorities to remove. At last two of the town
officers IN carriage got fairly stuck in IT,

INDIAN CoRy.-We have observed as a rule
that farmers who raise and feed out a, home
large quantities of Indian corn are prosperous
men. Corn fits everything to wlicl 1t is fed, ,
for market. Its tendency always is towards
cash. 1t makes the richest of manu- G, and thus
prepares the land for subsequent heavy crops.
Turnips are good, carrots are good hay Is
good but the more Indian corn the better.
We entertain the opinion, that farmers would
be greatly benefited by cultlvating this crop
much more extensively than they d. at present.
And whie recommending its moro extensive
cultivation, we at the same time recommend lts
home consumption. Let none be carried off,
except so much as goes in the form of fit meat,
or butter or cheese. Then farms and farmers
will grow rich together.
