En- PEASANT, we are reminded Of a meeting that
occurred in this city not a great while ago, in
which one of the sable brothers said ~
"My brudders, dare am but two roads to take
when you nggers am bout to die. One of dem
leads to HI, and de tother to cberlastin' damna-
tion." ..t'.
The whose congregation joined in a universal
groan at this horrible announcement, and one ell
DERBY fellow, who had been very attentive, raised
himself in his seat, rolled up the whites of his
eyes and said" Look here, my cullud man, if
OATS true, Use gwine taket to de woods instanter"
The same sable preacher once said to his con
gregation, "My brudders, de debil am gwine
round de whole country a-rooting up de good
things of dis life like great hog" ~"
One of the congregation, who from the
country, sung out in an audible but devout voice.
" Ring him, Lord, ring him p
And if this sable Bostonian has been roofing
around "where he hadn't ort to be-" why then
our advice is to 'ring him." But hear what the
Wing says of him: 10000
| Some time after the evacuation If Richmond
the congregation of colored folks worshipping at
- street Baptist church, determined to be mp
with the times, procured the services of an emf
nent negro divine from that Hub of the Universe,
of freedom, the darkieS soon learned-what they
had before only suspected-that they were supe-
ror to g all the world and the rest of mankind"
| and many of them determined "neber to give
way on de pavement to poor white trash any mo. ;"
Well at first all things went swimmingly the
Rev. Ebo came to church every Sunday at the
head of procession arrangedi in the following or

end of q gold-headed cane, surmounted by
shining beaver, and followed by the end of white
kerchief protruding from his ample coat tail.

But dandy darkey, jealous of the increasing
popularity of the Rev. Bostonian among the
weaker sex, soon declared, like a learned member
of Parliament once did, that he ''smelt rat; he
saw him floating in the air; but mark him, he'd
yet nip him in the bud" He asserted that the
| unbeached ecclesiastic was not satisfied with at
tending to the spiritual wants of his flock, but
was employing himself in the way that made his
brother Bostonian, Kalloch, so famous some years
ago. watch was at once instituted, and sure
enough the Boston theologian was caught IN fla
granite, &c., and was publicly exposed The fe-
male mulattoes blushed, and the blacks would have
done so if they had not been "born to blush un-
seen;" but meeting of excited churchmen was
held at once, and summary expulsion determined
on. Should he preach valedctory? Brother
A. said yes, he had a fellow-feeing for him.
Brother b said, if the Rev. Divine had known
that any fellow was feeling for him, he (the Rev.
| would have felt has wool. Brother c. indig-
| nantly deaied that negroes wool could be felted
Brother A...... said it could, and cited De Bow
| to prove it, Brother C. said, ''all de Bows
| and arrows in Richmond couldn't make him be-
lieve it,"-and continued to culver with rage at
the idea Finally, sagacious brother suggested
| that the Rev. Lothario might take his final text,
eco thou and do likepise." This settled the ques-
ton at once in the negative, so the procession of
| two was reversed, the Rev. sent off in disgrace,
| and Boston notions will no longer be disseminated
| to Richmond darkies. As the fallen angel dis
appeared, it said that in the congregation
