a Kentuekian In an Easy FIX.


Col. H., returning from his northern tour, en-
eonntered on his way to Cincinnati large number
OF Qnakers, of both sexes returning from an anti
slavery celebration at Cleveland, Ohio. As the
conversation with one Of the Friends, and in it's
course. the subject of slavery naturally arose.
The conversation increased in warmth and inter
est, and enlisted the attention of every one pre-
seh-the Quakers asserting their utter horror of
slavery, and the Southerner maintaining with
equal feeling, it, Justice and humanity. Stopping
hnaiiy. at way station, a new passenger entered
"a large, fine looking mulatto woman holding q
baby in her arms Looking around to find seat.
and observing one OF the few vacant occupied in
part BY Colonel H., she proceeded to seat herself.
room for the ample display OF crinoiine A few
moments had elapsed, when the dark-skinned
Venus turned suddenly to the Colonel, and IN
quired:
Mister, did you see airy yaller trunk put aboard
this train?-
"Well, really, madam" rejoined the Kentuck-
ian. there are SO many yellow trunks that am
unable to say whether the one which yeu aIlude 10
was put aboard or not
This did not suffice or heroine. In moment Or
two-the Colonel having declined an invitation to
suddenly, and extending the infant African in her
arms in the direction of our friend, exclaimed:
'.Mister, will you hold this 'ere baby while 20
and see after that ere trunk Of mines'
The Colonel, assuring her, with ineffable grace
and dignity, that he would be only too happy TO
oblige her, proceeded to dandIe in his arms the
sopty offspring Of my lady. By this time mirth
pervaded every countcnance, and an effectual eff
fort to suppress general litter told Of the amuse

whistle sounded Venus did not make her up
pearance. Matters seemed coming to crisis.

den the kentuckians politeness seemed to entail
upon him, and. perhaps, not unwilling to aid to
the slightly malicious and excusabie merrment Of
his antisouthern associates, crept up to the seat
occupied by the subject of this anecdote, and
whispered in tone audible to all
Friend art thou not afraid she will leave it
with theeM a.

heard by all present, and dropping his voice to .
loud whisper: why. that il just what should
like. It's worth hundred dollars in Kentucky ~
The few Sontherners present shouted with laugh
ter, and the discontinue of tile disciples of broth
ery love and sly fun was highly amusing.
THEY KILLED HlA.-A fellow was once telling of
his wonderful adventures with the Indians. He
ha d encountered and fought them i'll every posi-
Bile way and shape. Imagining that his listeners
were all trembling at his narrow escapes, he con-
cluded to give them settler, and so commenced
as follows:

Here the narrator paused to think, as if he had
forgotten some part OF his adventure. His eager
listeners asked him how he came out.

Seeing he had got his story somewhat tangled
