Many who come out here form matrimonial con-
nectons with the natives. My partner is native,
and though faultless in form her complexion is not
more fair than black in plain language she is
woman Of color, the exact shade approaching
much nearer to polished brown paper, or mahoga-
ny, than any thing else can remember. She can
not speak English, and is much addicted to what
you would call smoking but what she elegantly
terms kai tupeka--Angiice, food tobacco. Her hair
hangs in negligent gracefulness and is of beauti-
full and brilliant black. Her eyes are brown, her
person tall and erect, and her carriage faultless
and dignfed that of any European From one
ear is suspended sharks tooth, and the other is
embellished with bit of colored worsted. Her
feet were never tortured by shoes, nor concealed
by stockings; they are as free as when nature
formed them. She swims to perfection, can man

waterman, and is such adept at catching fish

WILL YOUNG BULLION EVER BE RICH 1T has
become very much the fashion, nowadays, to say:
oh Young Bullion will be rich when his father
dies !" and to understand, thereby that young Bull
lion is sure to be rich one of these days
But the proverb concerning I" a slip between the
cup and the lip" holds good in this case as in all
others and young Bullion may die before old Bull
lion does in which case he would never become
rich--in this worlds goods, at any rate Nor is his
chance of living so much greater than the COVER
nors. Gas he terms him. as may be at the first
glance imagined.
Suppose old Bullion to be ffty-fve years of age,
young Bullion twenty-five. Old B. is a bank direc-
tor---young B is 9 one of the b'hoys" old b. turns
in every night at ten---young B. is " on time" till
four A. M.
Balance of health is in favor Of old Bullion.
Old Bullion takes glass of brandy and water,
and don't eat anything before going to bed young
Bullion devours oysters woodcock broiled chicken,
at horribly indigestible hours, and drinks cham
pagne, champagne brandy, and scotch ale, till he
besses the man that invented soda water, when he
wakes up the next morning
Balance of health is in favor of old B again.
Old Bullion goes down to the bank in an omnibus
about ten A. Nj. About the same time young Bull
lion is going it with fast horse to the great race
mourning the danger of being run over of being run
away with and of running over somebody else and
getting split.
balance Ol surety III lawn VI o'N Doiiioh
If old B. should receive challenge, he would
forthwith have the sender bound over to keep the
peace if young B. receives one he ''goes out" and
runs the chance of bullet in his thorax
You don't find old B. promenading very often---
the gout won't allow it young B. is all the time on
a tramp, over sidewalks under which are steam en-
gines across streets where runnings-over are fire.
quent Old B. don't 90 travelling---young B. is on
the move all summer; and steamboat blowings-up
and railroad collisions are frequent nowadays.
Balance of safety still in favor Of old B.
Old B. is never out after dark young B., like
CATS travels principally at night and stands very
fair chance, in the present state OF society OF hay
ing his head and slung-shot acquainted some dark
night.
Old B. has against him thirty years and the gout
young b. has the risk of late hours, champagne
suppers, fast horses "pistos and coffee for two"
street crossings, boiler bursngs railroad smash-ups
and fractured craniums.
So the chances you see, are not so very much In
young Bulon's favor after all --Wauerfy Magas'ne

A PERSONAL SERMoN.--Mr. Jay had become
aware of growing evil among his brethren, aris-
ing from a with which, being familiar, he de-
termined upon rebuking and denouncing. When
in the midst of his discourse, he said
My young brother, it is to be regretted, that
many enter the ministry after they have been edu-
Gated to whose services the church has claim, they
look round and select lady for their wife but
they are careful she possesses a fortune After o
time they begin to weary in well-doing They take
cold, it results in cough, they are so weak that
they cannot attend to the duties of their Office.
They resign and live upon their wifes fortune. I
know five cases of this kind--may it never be your
lot.n
During the delivery of this kind rebuke, there
was young minister, or rather ex minister, who
did not seem very comfortable. After the service
was closed the merits of the discourse were can
vassed and the general opinion was that it was only
such one as could be delivered by Mr.. Jay. Said
one to the ex-pastor:
How did you like Mr.. Jay it was fine, quite
treat, wasn't it %
"Well liked him very we'll, but think he was
rather personal"
Personal, eh how so 2"
Why you must have noticed his reference to
ministers out of health resigning"
Yes yes, he was little close there, must ad-
nit"
II shall speak to him about it, said the delicate
fastidlOus eX minister.
He sought the vestry, and fonnd Mr. Jay there
He congratulated him on his health and discourse.
but hinted that he personal in his remarks, and
would like to know if he referred to him.
Personal F' said the patriarch eh in what
part of the discourse :"
"When you were speaking about ministers re-
signing"
"Oh p said Mr.. Jay, I" l see; yes, have you re.
signed 2"
Yes, sir"
Did you marry rich wifeq'
"Yes, sir"
"Ah. my friend, yours is the sixth case then"
This young man reaped the reward of his folly,
ana retired confused and abashed from the presence
of Mr.. Jay.
