ready to seize the first opportunity for

And while we are kind, we should be
firm. What is there to take back? Any
right we have claimed for our African

over his wrongs and sorrows? Any de-
termination of ours to pleed with man
and wrestle with God,-to act as freeman
patriots and Christians in every legitimate
way, till this evil is abated from off Amer

do it.

A Fine Lady Determined TO Marry-Suo.
cess Of her ConnubiRl Design.
This strange story is told in the Auto6i-
ography Of Nary Granville:
A lady came into Birmingham, England.
with a handsome equipage, and desired the
landlord of the inn to get her a husband,
being determined to marry somebody or
other before she left the town" The man
bowed, and supposed her ladyship to be in a
facetious humor, but being made sensible
how much she was in earnest, he went out
in search of a mar that would marry a fine
lady without asking questions.
After many repulses from poor fellows who
were not desperate enough for such a vent
ure, he met with an exciseman, who said
he could not be in a worse condition than
he wa" and accordingly went with the inu-
keeper, and made a tender of himself, which
was all he had to bestow on the lady, who
Immediately went with him TO one who
gave them a license, and made them man
and wife, on which the bride gave her spouse
f200, and without more delay left the to wn,
and the bridegroom to find out who she was
OF unriddle this strange adventure.
Soon after she was gone, two gentlemen
came into the town in full pursuit of her;
they had traced her so far upon the road,
and finding the inn where she had put up,
they examined into all the particulars of
her conduct, and, on hearing that she was
married, gave over the pursuit and returned
back Perhaps our little Yorkshire Tanner

she did not like, chose this unaccountable

INTERESTING ANCIENT TURKISH Conn.,
Capt. +. r. Webb, of bark. Imapm, which
arrived at Salem, Mass, on Tuesday, from
Zanzibar, has an ancient Turkish gold coin,
l,l60 years old, which is a great curiosity.
1t was one of about 1000 of the same date
found buried in the ground, in an earthen
jar, near the coast on the island of Zanzibar,
during the rein of Syeed Madjeed bin Syeed
bin Sultan, in the year 1860. The inscrip-
ton shows that il was coined when Almoo-
touakul was Sultan, and the characters sie-
Dify as follows: "Allah Ii hi" God is great,
'Sa Ii il Allah" There is but one God,
'Wahed hoo la-Shurka la hoo" l am
alone-there is no n in this country
greater than l.
The date is the year III of the Moham-
medsn Era, Of which the year 1877 CORE
spends with 1860 of the Christian Era, prov
ing the coin TO be ll60 years old. 1t is
perfectly preserved and bright, and is of the
intrinsic value of 50 40, by weight.
The antiquity Of the deposit was attested
by the growth of trees over the spot where
the jar was found.
