A little too Ripe.

As many of our readers are doubtless aware,
it is the custom for planters at the South to
purchase clothing for their slaves by the
wholesale and as of course they have not the
opportunity to examine closely each article,
they are sometimes swindled, by few bad
ones being thrown in among the good. An
acquaintance of ours tells us that on one occa-
sion, he had laid in box of shoes, and dis
tributed them among the negroes. A few days
afterwards, 'old Bob,' a favorite servant, found
that the shoes that had fallen to his lot, were
bursting out. So, going to his master, he
said, 'Massa, whar you buy dose shoes1'
bought them in New Orleans, Bob,' re-
sponded our friend.
Well, whar did de New Orleans people
buy 'em1'
They bought them from the people up
North. They bought them from the Yam
kees'
Well, whar do de Yankees get 'eml' per-
sisted the negro.
The Yankees why, they pick them off
of the trees, Bob
W-w-w-well,' responded the darkey, hold
ing up his shoes, Il reck n de Yankees didn't
pick desc pair soon enough, massa; l reck'n

Elder Knapp occasionally gets off good
thing. He WIS one evening speaking of the
prevailing tendency of some religlonists to
long prayers, and remarked that he could find
no example for these in the Scriptures. The
prayers of our Savior were short and to the
point. The prayer of the penitent publican
was a happy specimen. When Peter was
endeavoring to walk upon the water, to meet
his master, and was about sinking, had his
supplicaton been as long as the introduction
to one of our modern prayers, before he got
half way through, he ,oould hare been fifty feet

Four Coop HABITS There are four good
habits wise and good man recommended in
his counsel, and also by his own example, and
which he considered essentially necessary for
the management of temporal concerns. These
are, Punctuality, Accuracy, Steadness, and
Despatch. Without the first of these, time is
wasted; without the second, mistakes the
most huriful to our credits and interest, and
that of others, may be committed; without
the third, nothing can be well done and with
out the fourth, opportunities of great advan-
tages are lost, which it is impossible to recall
