A SLAVE SALE.--The New York corres-
pondents of the Washington Union gives
che following "sell." He says: ~, :
A famous abolition preacher in our midst
met with the following incident the other
day: He was told that most beautiful
slave had been purchased the other day by
a southern gentleman" and carried tosthe
sunny South. The slave was represented
to be an exquisite creature, white almost as
any woman, with limbs delicately moulded,
and rounded in manner that would throw
asculptor into ecstacies; her whole appear
ancc was fascinating in high degree; and
it was told the reverend gentleman that
this beautiful creature, with form SO deli
cate that she would adorn any parlor in
the land, was put up at auction, knocked
down to the price Of $4,000, with chains
on her hands and wrists. f@ 1.a
The preacher took FIRE at the suggestion;
his whole soul was filed with indignation;
he assembled his pulpit he made an appeal
TO his people on the atrocious nature Of the
slave traffic, and intimated pretty broadly
for what purpose SO beautiful girl was
purchased at such an enormous price. 1t
was intimated that the preacher felt some
what Disconnected when he learned that the
pretty creature was the marble Greek Slave,
so famous on both sides of the Atlantic
Many people considered that both the
preacher and the slave were sold.

MISCELLANY.
Mr.. BROWNS MIsHAPs.

We don't know when we have laughed
more heartily than at the following, which
we find in an exchange, under the caption
of 'Mr Browns Mishaps."
Mr.. Eliphelot Brown was bachelor of
35 or thereabout; one of those men who
seem born to pass through the world alone
Save this peculiarity, there was nothing to
distinguish Mr. Brown from the multitude
of other Browns who are born, grow up
and die in this world of ours. 1t chanced
that Mr.. Brown had occasion to visit
town some ffty miles distant on matters of
business. 1t was his first visit to the
place, and he proposed stopping for day,
in order to give himself an opportunity to
look about Walking leisurely across the
street he was at once accosted by child,
who ran up to him exclaiming-
"Father, want you to buy me some
candyp
"Fatherl" was it possible that he a
bachelor, was addressed by that title? He
could not believe it. "Who are you speak
ing to, my dear?' he equired of the little
girl.
"I spoke to you, father" said the little
one surprised.
Really" thought Mr.. Brown, "this is
