A LITTLE TOO RiPE.-As many of our read
ers are doubtless aware, it is the custom Of
planters at the South To purchase clothing for
their slaves by wholesale; and as of course
they have not the opportunity 10 examine close
ly each article, they are sometimes swindled by
few bad ones being thrown in among the
good. An acquaintance of our tells us that,
on one occasion he had lain in box of shoes,
and distributed them among the negroes. A
few days afterwards, Old Bob, favorite SER
want, found that the shoes that had fallen to his
lot were bursting out. So going to his master,
he said "Massa whar did you buy desc
shoesl"
81 bought them in New Orleans, Bob" re-
sponded our friend.
"Well, whar did de New Orleans people buy
'emi"
'rhey bought them from the people IN
North, the Yankees"
"Well whar do de Yankees get 'em - per-
sisted Bob.
The Yankess'-why, they pick them off
the trees.''
"W-w-well," responded the darkey, holding
up his shoes, 81 reckon de Yankees did al
pick desc pair soon enough, Massa. reckon
he waited till-lill-hA deg was lille TOO
ripe!
