After breakfast, ! was surprised to see my
landlady go out and catching her hens, tic each
one's legs together and then throw them upon

Make 'em lay will that do itH / enquired. q
La, yes she said, didn't you ever hearn
tell OF that before? W" a. |
Iconfessed that ! had not. In an hour she
went out again and picking up the hens; sure
enough, some had laid, those she let go, and
they ran of, not even cackling their gratitude,
But those hens which seemed contrary, she
struck on the back saying: You'd better lay,
you'd better Icy, for you won't gountil you do,'
and in little while, they, too. had recompens-
ed their mistress for feeding them so bounti.

0TA short time ago, widow lady living
near the Northern line of Missouri, sent heI
negro man with a load fwheat to mill in Iowa
to have it manufactured into -four. The mill
was much crowded on his arrival there, and the
prospect was that he would have to wait sever
al days for his turn While waiting, some oi
the freedom shriekers in that latitude got a,
round the darkey and proposed aiding him 10
securing his freedom. The negro seemed to be
struck with the idea, but did not have any mon
ey to pay bis expenses. -..saa. ..-
WELL said they, sell your mules -.
Don't know bout that--missus could not
get along without them, said Cuff. .a ,,a
well, then, rejoioed they, you can sell the
waeon--that will bring the money
We'll. believe misSus needs the wagon too,
answered the black; 'but il had the wheat
ground, could sell de four--dat would fetch
the money ....r -e.- r-r.-str5 g..
oh, well, said the negro equalitists, we
will swap you the flour for the wheat to ac-
modate YOU ........... u ......s...
So the trade was made. The wheat was ex-
changed fol- the proper proportion of -four and
the colored man was loaded all ready to drive
off and sell his -four; but when he was about
ready to start, he said. .s... a-.......
'Massas, rs been studdin' bout freedom, but
don't believe m,ssus can spare de -four either.

rows of ivory. much to the modification and
