A negro man has latey been sold in Bos-
ton. A bay "speculator" from the country
. colored man, while loading his hay for
market, has been in the habit of leaving a
hole near the bottom into which another
negro has hid himself while the hay was
weighed, and crawled out on the top when
IL was delivered. Some of the purchasers
have paid for him dozen times over, and
begin TO think 1t is about time to take pos
session, and an animated but good-natured
controversy is going on between two of the
largest purchasers. as to which has the best

II was evening IA Tie Summer lime,

And woods and w.lli rung again
With many a pleasant lay;
wandered o'er the bonnie brsss,
And through the golden coin.
And saw a maiden sls \ the sun,
Densath . snew white thorn.
She was 80 fair To look upon,
No falrsr have known,
OF all the bright aud besaiifuI
On whom the suR hath shone;
Her smile was Ike morning beam.
Her roice Hns like brook
That sing. its dimpiing melodies
Along the mary nook.
ksihought IT va. an angel world,
The birds ssnE sweeter far;
There was a I~arl.lu every aower,
heaven la every star;
Peace through the shades Of silence walked,
Yet left me not alone,
For ] had fonnd my SOULS delight,
And wOosl her for my own.
And all the love could ne'er be told
By silver luiing June,
Which muFiaured near that shady thorn
ror many a welcome moon
Bright Summer came and went again,
Ger dale and mountain wide,
To smile with cheerful beams upon
Ny cottage and my bride.
