BUTToN HOLES ON Born SIDEs,-A gen.
tleman in Charleston, who entertained
good deal of company at dinner, had
black us an attendant, who was native
OF Africa, and never could be taught to
hand things invariably to the left hand of
OF the guests at table At length, his
master thought of an infallible expedient
10 direct him. and as the coats were then
worn in Charleston single breasted, in the
present Quaker fashion, he told him alwa vs.
to hand the plate to the button hole side
Unfortunately, however, for the poor fel.
low, on the day after he had received this
ingenious lesson, there was among the
guests at dinner foreign gentleman with
double-breasted coat, and he was for
while completely at a stand He looked
first at one side of the gentleman's coat,
then at the other, and, finally, quite con.
founded at the outlandish make of the
strangers garment, he cast despairing
look at his master, and exclaiming, in
loud voice Button-holes on both sides

gentleman's head.

raise her to testify to his goodness The
girl continued in this state until Saturday
evening, at which time a number of church
members were in the house singing her "a

her hands and cried out, "Glory Hal.
