an anecdote I once heard, or read-A
student at Rome, in Italy, from one Of
the Southern States, was once on q time
sauntering, moodily, and alone through
the crowded streets Of the Papal city !;

for many months, and his heart was sick
with anxiety, when his eyes rested on
a thick-lipped wooly1he headed, and bushy
specimen of the African race, coming
towards him; he obeyed the first i'm

around his neck, and kissed him; it was
