A Cute Yankee.

A correspondent Of the Boston papers,
tells the following good story:
''Early one morning, the scholars OF one
Of our district schools were agreeably sur
prised to find written upon the outside door,
"No Scule;" and the most ofthem immedl'
ately, made preparation to enjoy the holiday
not dreaming but that 1t was genuine
order. 1t appeared, however. thata rogush
vou,h, lover OF mischief more than his
books, had written in large lettersthe joyfu
news. No Scule, was the notice posted up
the idea we understood, but the spelling was
|bad. The afternoon brought all together
and In the stern visage Of the master enough
was seen To- convince US that all was no
right--h he had been outwitted and now CAM
| the tug Of war.
"He soon ordered the boys to appear De
fore his presense, and one by one, criticize
our spelling as far as thefword school wa
concerned. They. stood the test until tn
| hero with his comic phiz made his appear

Trusting to Providence.

One Of those stiff:necksd pGritanical mis-
sionaries, who sometimes wander awaf
"down South" and take sly chances Of en-
deasosiug to eHlighten the benighted darkies
of that region, was riding along one Sunday
morning in the neighb orhood Of wealthy
planters negro quarter, when to his horror,
he spied Cudjo hoeing small potato patch.
Stopping his horse ct the fence, he address
ed him thus: -.
"My poor unfortunate colored BROTHER is
it possible your cruel master comPels you to
labor on the Lords holy dsy!"
"Oh, no, mussa stranger; my massa's good
man; he glib niger far chance, glib him gar
din for hisself. Dis all rhine!" looking
Around Upon his little PROPERTY.
"Worse and worse!" exclaimed the other,
rolling up his eyes. "The ignorance d
Egyptian bondage! Has he never taught
you the sinfulness Of working on the Sab
bathl.' -
"Well, you see, niassa stranger, nebber
know fore twas sin fur niger hoe his own
'taters Sunday" said Guido, scratching his
head. =; ;a
''A great sin my colored brother; how can
you expect the Lord to bless you, If you thus
break his commandments" &
"What nigger gwine to do for 'taterS'
den!p asked Guido, somewhat puzzled.
"Trust to Providence, my unfortunate
friend" I
"Dar! dar! you done made mistake dat
time, massa stranger. Dat Pfovidenee e
de LATEST nigger on dis plantation; he don't
eber hoe his own 'tater patch. Yah! yah1
yahe Providence, eh'"
The missionary rode of in disgust the
more promptly, perhaps, that just then he
espied some gentlemen coming down the
road whom he did not dare to have see him
tampering with the negro.

The two 6rst verses of the first chapter OF
the "Chronicles Of Success" read thus:
"Who hath sadness! Who hath woel--

and sinketh iato poverty and forgetfulnesss

aflistellaueous,
An IrishmaM'S Confidence ia u
Bank.

We heard the following capital story
yesterday, and only regret that we cannot
tell it as it was told to US: 1
A banker in Dubuque, whom we shall call
Mr.. My, for short, found it necessary
short time ago to suspend business, and
accordingly closed his doors, and issued
card to his depositors, in which he stated
that he hoped soon to be able to resume
again. The day after Mr.. NJ. had closed
his doors, he was met by a Hibernian miner
who had Sc 900 deposited with him, and ac-
costcd him thus: e..
"Good morning, Mr.. NJ. Faith an it's
we'll you're looking this morning, consider
ing the weather. But, sure, it's sorry en-
Mr.. NJ, 10 see that card of yours in the papers.
But never do you mind such trid,s as that,
mun-take coufage uhd kold up your head
as high as iver-a-the thing will stoh blow
over. And as for that $4,000 balance. ol
mine, just keep It'll have no use, for the
lousy dollars-und know ye Sre ali honest
man, and perfectly good for the same any
time. Keep it, sir, and pleasant dreams be
Wid ye."
/ NIr. III. expressed his thanks, and the
banker and deposilor separated. But on
the following day Mr.. NJ. was startled from
his "pleasant dreams" by the presentation
Of check for $4,000, bearing the name Of
his Hibernian friend. Not knowing how tt
understand the matter, Mr.: M. sent for Pat
rick, when the following explanation tool
place: !.
"WelI, you see, lfr. H., Peggy, that is m.
wife, has been raisin' the very .diyi ab6h
the money and just to pacify the poor ig
norant creatur that it was safe, though
be dad, that I'd jist send for it and count
all over before her ugly face, and then sh
would consent to my leaving it with you
teeether wild the other $4,000 that is givlr
us SO much thruble to kape from being ste
! len from u.s."
TO such nm explain ton, together wit
The new temptation of $4,000 additiona
The banker could take no exception--so
. counted out the $4,000 in money. But'ht
(. was the end of the Irishman.
: The banker meeting him sometime aste
y wards, desired another explanation.
e "Och, the truth is, Mr.. NJ, its myself th
y has been ashamed to see yees. Peggy, th
+ diyil of a wife of mine, you see, has hlc tn
, money, and bother me il | can find it at al
n at all, und thatis just the truth, sir"

y his hat, but Pat generously declined to q
