6TWhen the cholera was at its worst
in 1919, in New Orleans, an old negro,
who had weathered the yellow fever many
times, at length got frightened at the hav.
oc was making among all classes. His
master one night heard him praying to
the Angel OBJ de Lord by the light Of
the tallow candle, to spare him dis time
Ito let him live a little longer, and den
take him to glory But he concluded
his prayer by protesting perfect submis-
sion to the will of de angel OBJ de Lord,
even should he be called upon immediate
ly to 60 on dat long journey. Sambo's
master determined to test the sincerity Of
this last profession. He knocked loudly
and distinctly at the door.
Who's dar?' says Sambo.
The angel of the Lord was the an,
swer.
What you want 2
Il have come for Sambo.'
The master heard the candle suddenly
extinguished with 'whoi,' and Sambo
energetcally answered; "

T-A great many people find as much
difficulty in saying what they mean-aS
much, perhaps, as some editors find in
meaning what they say. A certain wit
ness in an assault and battery suit we once
heard, mixed things up considerably, in
giving his account of the affair. After
relating how Dennis came to him and
struck him and proceeded:
so, yer honor, just hauled off and
wiped his jaw. Just then his dog came
along, and hit him again
Hit the dog?'
mo, your honor, Dennis And then
| up wild stun and thromed it at him,
and it rolled him over and over
Threw a stone at Dennis
'At the dog, yer honor. And he got
up and hit me again
The dog!'
No, Dennis. And wild dat he stuck
his tail betwixt his legs and ran off,
'Dennis?
No the dog. And when he came back
at me he got me down and pounded me,
yer honor
'Tbe dog came back at youP
No, Dennis, honor, and be isn't hurt
any at all

THE OLD GREEN LANE.
BY ELIZA COOK,

Twas the very merry summer time
That garlands hills and dells,
And the south wind rang fairy chime
Upon the foxglOve bells;
The cuckoo stood on the lady birch
To bid her last goodbye
The lark sprung over the village church,
And whistled in the sky;
And we had come from the harvest Sheaves,
A blitheand tawny train,
And tracked our path with poppy leaves
Along the old green lane.
Twas pleasant way on a sunny day.
And we were happy set,
As We idly bent where the streaulet went,
To get our fingers wet;
With the dog-rose here, and the orchs there,
And the woOdbine twining through,
With the broad trees meeting everywhere,
And the grass still dark with dew.
Ah! we oil forget, in that blssful spot,
The names of care and pain,
AS we'lay on the bank by the shepherds cot
To rest in the old green lane.
Oh! days gone byI lean but sigh,
As Lthink. Of that rich hour,
my heart in its glee but seemed to DO
er woOd-side howerr
