 Mir. Nasby then lays down few plain rules for the guidance of the faithful in this matter. one of which is as follows: .a,-s5 ts-a,a. -.
 Alluz assert that the nigger will never be able to take care uf hisself, but will aluz be public burden. He may, possibly give us the lie by goin to work. In sich emergency. the dootY uv every Dinner. crat is plane. He must not be allowed to work. Associations must be organized, pledged to neether give him employment to work with him. to work for enny one who will give him work, or patronize enny one who dug. q wood sejest that sich uv es haz ben fooretoopit enuff get credit, pay a triAe on account, so ez to make our patronage worth suthin.)

 CoURT1NG TWO HUNDRED YEARS Aao--A ROMANCE OF WErHKRsF1ELD.-Among the amusing "reminiscences of those days, is the fa- nous courtship of the Rev. Stephen Mix of WethersGeld. He made a journey to North ampton in 1896, in search of wife. He arriv. ed at the Rev. Solomon Stoddard's, informed him of the object of his visit, and that the pressure of home duties required the utmost | Mr Cko1IonJ koa s..k. sho where his daughters were, and introduced him to Mary, Esther, Christiana, Sarah, Rebekah, and Hannah, and then retired Mir. Mix, ad- dressing Sarah. the eldest daughter, said he had lately been settled at Wethersield, and was desirous of obtaining wife, and concluded by f offering his heart and hand. She blushipgly replied that so important proposition rsqur- ed time for consideration. He replied that he was pleased that she asked for Suitable time for reflection, and in order to afford her the needed opportunity to think of his proposal he would step into the next room and smoke a pipe with her father, and she could report to him. Having smoked his pipe and sent mes. sage to Miss Sarah that he was ready for her answer, she came in and asked for further time for consideration. He replied that she could reflect still longer on the subject, and send her answer by letter, to Wethers6eld. In few weeks he received her reply, which is probably the most laconic epistle ever. penned. Here is the model letter, which was soon followed by a wedding: :, .-s
