Scene of a Slave Pen.

Mrs. Francis D. Gage Of st. Louis
has been spending the winter in New
Orleans. She visited one of the slave
pens in that city. Here is an extrac,
from her description of what she had
saw:
'1n the corner sat = young girl,
straight, slender and fragile, with skin
quite as white as some of the tanned
complexlons of the middle states--not
that tawny white that so often marks
tho mixed races, but clear brunette,
with the rich blood flashing through
the transparent skin and making her
cheeks glow. Her hair was brown and
soft, and curled at the ends. 1t was
short, after the present school girl style,
parted on the top of her head; and had
not the burnt appearance like the hair
of an African. Her eyes were neither
black nor blue, nor yet hazel; they were
soft, dreamy and expressive

SUT LovEEGooD AND THE LoCoMo-
TIvE.-The first locomotive Sut ever
saw was standing with steam up, and
nearly ready to go, making no noise
save a Suppressed humming from the
safety valve. Sut had, in his skeery,
cautions clam5sred to the top of
the tender to find out "what sort of a
beastes'' it was, when the engineer
slyly gave the whistle lever long pull
-shoy-y-y! SUIT lit twenty feet dis
tant on pile Of cord-wood, and after
running until he got straightened up,
he turned round all eyes, and says:
"What in the duce did you do tu it,
mister 90
Just at this moment a negro came
trundling a truck, with cooking stove,
a joint Of pipe on the fue-hole, and
pots and pans hanging all round. Sut
took look first at the stove and then
at the locomotive; light broke over
his perplexity, and he shouted to the
engineer.
ooh, yes, I Understands it all now;

Drinking among Young Men.

The Philadelphia Sun says truly that
indiscriminate drinking among our
young Men eventually makes its mark
upon the population Of our cities We
can see it already betraying itself in
the rising generation. It is impossible
for any man to drink even pure liquors
six or seven times day without suffer
ing severely in constitution. And
when he transmits his impaired consti-
tuition to his son, who in turn impairs
it still further by the same course, it
requires little foresight to see that we
are preparing population for our cities
that will not, in physical fame, be much
better than the wretched Aztecs.-
This love of drink and bar-rooms is
every day increasing. Every day sees
our youth becoming more and more
the victim of this habit, for we really
think it more habit than a passion
It is no love of ofjoviality that tempts
them, expect in few cases. It is
not the hot exhuberance Of youth. 1t
is not the evanescent impulse of the
gay young fellow who Is sowing his
wild oats. 1t is as has been said, a
cold, deliberate, confirmed habit. No
atmosphere of recklessness surrounds
the drinking groups, except on occa-
sions, and no peals of merriment atone
for the act by proving that it is at least
unusual. A grim and melancholy air
pervades each countenance. The
drinks are poured out, the glasses are
touched with a loathsome air of Gus
tom, and each man swallows bis por-
tion with the same impassive counter
ance he would wear if he were drinking
a glass of plain water. All the COM
comitants that partially redeem or ex-
cuse drinking, as far as it can be re-
deemed or excused, are wanting in this
sad and formal ceremony.

Scene in q Police Court.

The prisoner in this case, whose name
was Dickey Swift, alias "stove pipe

questioned by the Judge to the follow
ing effect:
Jadge--Bring the prisoner into

Pete---Here / am, bound to blaze, as
the spirit Of turpentine said when he
was all fire.
We will take little Of the FIRE out
Of you. How do you live?
amt particular, as the oyster said,
when they asked him ifhe'd be roasted
or fried.
We don't want to hear what the oys-
ter said, or the spirits of turpentine
either. What do you follow.
Anything that comes in my way, as
the locomotive said when she run over
little niger.
Don't care anything about the loco,

That's various, as the cat said when
she stole the chicken off the table.

isons, l will give you twelve months.

Now, sir, your punishment shall de-
pend on the shortness and correctness
of your answers. I suppose you live
by going around the docks.
No, sir, can't 60 around docks
without boat, and amt got none.
Answer me, sir. How do you get
your bread.
Sometimes at the bakers and some
times / eat taters.
No more of your stupid nonsense
How do you support yourself?
Sometimes on my legs, and some
times on cheer {chair).
How do you keep yourself alive
BY breathing, sir.
l order you to answer this question
correctly. How do you do?
Pretty we'll; thank you, Judge
How do you do?

Well, you've committed yourself first,
that's some consolation.
