Negro Banking.

Cato, an old negro who was noted for hi
cunning, had succeeded in making his fel
low servants believe that banking was 6
uery profitable business. So they concluded
they would throw all their change together
and start little bank, old Cato taking care
to have himself constituted the bank, tc
whom all the sixpences Of all the darkies in
the neighborhood were paid over. And
now, said Cato, when eber niggers borry
sixpence ont'n DIS bank to buy backor wild,
be gots to come back in free weeks and pay
in taoo sixpences, and in dis way you see'
every sixpence brings nudder sixpence,
till arter a while all the niggers will be as
rich as old massa G--y. And upon this
principle the bank went into operation, old
Cato always taking care that every darkey
should fork over according to bank rules.
But in the course of time, some Of the stock
holders thought they "smelt rat" and
called on Cato to withdraw their capital,
when the following conversation took place
between Cato and Jack:
Jack-Well, Cato; we wants to draw our
money from the bank and quit dis banking
bisness.
Cato-Did you hear de news?
Jack-No, what dat, Cato?
Cato-Why de bank done broke last
night.
Cato-Who care what de bank do? l
tell you wants my shah oh de money.
Cato-Well, but I tell you de bank done
broke.
Jack-I not talklin about dat. [ say
whar de money.
Cato-Why, you fool, don't you know
dat when the bank break de money gone
Sartin!
Jack-Well but whar de money gone to ?
Cato-Dat's more en- dis niger know.
All he knows bout it is, dat when de white
folks bank brake, de money always lost,
and niger bank no better dan white folks.
Jack-Well, whenever dis niger gage

A Cool Fiddler,

The New Orleans Picayune tellsthe story
of the snagging Of steamboat, with bel
owner on board, who was very fond o.
playing on the violin. The captain, pilo'
and engineer were in the cabin playing
cards one day, when her bow struck snag
with force that knocked hole in her as
big as hogshead. The shock upset the
faro bank and those gathered around it; and
caused general confusion and conSterna-
tion among all except the owner, who, hav-
ing righted himselfin his chair, recomenced
his tune where he left of, and went on as
though nothing had happened.
"She's sinking" shouted an Arkansaw
man, dressed in hickory bark coat, who
was making his way out of the cabin with
a pair of saddle.bags on his arm. 'sToma-
hawk me if she amt sinking, sure"
The owner heard it but fiddled away as
uucoucerned as Nero at the burning of
Rome.
nThree feet water in the hold Run old
Buzzard ashore if you can" shouted the
captain. The startling words reached the
ear of the owner, but he continued to saw
away.
The passengers ran to him and bawled
out, "did you know the boathad snagged?"
II suspected something of the kind"
coolly answered the owner, as he laid his
left ear upon his violin, Ia Ole Bull, and
appeared perfectly enchanted with his own
strains.
"She'll be lost in FIVE minutes" continu-
ed the passengers.
sShe's beelsa losing concern these FIVE
years." replied the owner, as he drew
most excruciatiug note from his fiddle.
~ can feel her settle now," said pas.
senger 81 wish she would settle with me
for what I have lost by her, before she
goes down." was the owners cool reply, as
his right hand moved backward and for
ward over the fiddle.
"But why don't you speak to the cap.
tain-give him orders what to do in the
emergency" asked the good natured pas.
senger.
"Intefering with the officers of this boat
isa delicate matter" meekly and quietly
remarked the owner, as be still sawed a.
way.
. The boat careened over, and the next
moment the cabin was half full of water.
The Buzzard, together with her cargo
and machinery, proved a total loss. The
officers, crew and passengers saved them
selves by means of yawl-the owner SWAIN
ashore with his fiddle under his right arm,
and the bow in his mouth. There Was no
insurance.

Nor ASHAMED OF BUNDLEs.-We have
often heard a. half grown boy say pettishly
to his mother, Il don't like to be seen car
rying big bundle in the Streets But
true pride is ashamed of such littleness of
mind. Mr.. Astor, the wealthy millionaire
of New York, once was reluctant to sell
some goods to young merchant, except
for cash. The merchant paid for them,
and thee took them on his own shoulder to
carry to his store. Mr.. Astor looked on in
surprise, but before the merchant had gone
many steps, be called him back, saying
'You may buy on credit to any amount
I can trust you, sir. A man who is not
ashamed to do his own work is sure to sue
ceed' Here is another good lesson for
false pride: Chief Justice Marshall was a
great man but great men are never proud.
He was not 700 proud to wait upon himself
He was in the habit of going to market
himself and carrying home his purchase.
Often would he be seen going home at sun
rise, with poultry IN one hand and vegeta-
bles in the other. On one of these occa-
sions, fashionable young man from the
North who had removed to Richmond, was
swearing violently because he could find no
one to carry home his turkey. Judge Mar
shall stepped up and asked where he lived.
When he heard he said: That is my way !;
1 will take your turkey home for you.',-
When they came to the house, the young
man asked What shall I pay you p
'Oh, nothing said the judge, you are
welcome; it was all in my way, aod it was
no trouble to me- who is that polite old
man, who brought home my turkey for me?'
asked the young man Of a by-stander.-
sOh,' said he, shat was Judge Marshall,
Chief Justice of the U. States?' 'Why
did he bring home my turkey? q sup
pose he did it, said the by-stander, 'to
teach you not to feel above attending to
your own business. .'-MonhW Casket.
