CAyMa IN OF FIRE WE1L.-The heavy rains of
the past week caused the earth to absorb 30 much
water that became very soft and unstable. 1t was
evidently this rush Of water that caused the fire
ven in George street, opposite the College, to cave
In. It now presents an ugly chasm, which has
been boarded to prevent accidents. AS the well
was near the sidewalk, it renders that portion Of
the street impossible, and repairs should be i'm
mediately commenced.

The Yankee PeddIer.

There is a sheriff residing in Illinois, who was
"taken in and done for on one occasion. He
made it prominent part of his business to fer
ret out and punish peddlers for travelling thro'
the State without a license but one morning
he met his match in the person of a genuine
Yankee peddler.
What have you got to sel-anything p
asked the sheriff
''Yaas, sartin; what dye want /? Got razors,
fust, that's an article you need, squire, should
say by the look of your baird. Got good black
ing; twill make them old boots of yourn shine
soit you can shave In EN- e nemost. Balm OF
Clumby, too, only dollar bottle; good for
the ha'r, and assisten poor human natur, as the
poet says
And so he ratified on. At length the sheriff
bought a bottle of the balm of Columbia, and
in reply to the question whether he wanted any
thing else that tunctionary said he did-he felt
anxious to see the Yankee license for peddling
in Illinois, that being his duty as sheriff
The Yankee showed him document fixed
up good and strong, in black and white The
sheriff looked at it and pronounced it all right
Then handing back the bottle to the peddler,
he said:
Il dom think, now that I've bought this
stuff, shall ever want it. [ reckon [ might as
well sell it back to you. What will you give
for it?'
v, tHC Var STUN Is HO use 10 me, out see
in it S yeou, sheriff, I'll give you TWENTY-FIVE
cents for it, if you really don't want it. -
The sheriff handed over the bottle at the
large discount from his own purchase, and re-
ceiyed his change
e"Neow, said the peddler, give got ques-
ton to ask yeou. Have you got any peddIer's
license about yeour trowsers anywhere p
mo; | hav'n any use for the article, my
SELF replied the sheriff.
"Hain't, Ell? Wall, guess we'll see about
that, pooty darn soon. Eff [ understand the
law, it's a clear case that yeou We been tradin'
with me-hawkin and pedlin' balm of Clumby
on the highway-and II inform On you-darn
if | don't now!''
The yankee was as good as his word. When
he reached the next village, he made his COM
plant, and the sheriff was fined eight dollars
for selling without license.
He was heard afterwards to say, that ''you
might as we'll try to hold creased eel as live
yankee"

Gays the Alexandra Gazette, that he has been
mlslnformed as to the demise of that venerated
and time honored parsonage. He still hres };
changed In his circumstances, reduced in his
fortunes, somewhat depressed in his spirits-but
he still lives We see him and converse with
him constantly He remains, as before, as gen.
erous as his means will permit, and as hosnita-
BILE as of old. You find in him all his former
noble qualities and exceencies. You see him
now, as in other days, kind to his neighbors,
confidlng to his friends, even forgiving to his
enemles and courteous to all. He cannot, it
may be, entertain you, as he once did, in the
excess of his afluence and as he would wish to
do, with the Injuries of life, but he gives you
hearty welcome and the best cheer he can af-
ford. He has not now around him, as in old
times his family domestics, prompt to serve
his guests, nor have his children their old and
whom they loved next to their parents; his
kitchen has not the same cooks it formerly had;
nor are such Of the broad acres that are left

his own care and control-they have all gone to
the Freedmens Bureau and the -; but his
heart is the same-''open as day to melting
charity glowing with affection and friend
shlp-Warm as sunbeam, and filled with the
milk Of human kindness He accepts the
situation, " with the best grace possible, "grits
his teeth a little when he hears of some new
exaction, threat or prescription, and has his
own thoughts about the allies of those who op-
press and injure him-but endeavors to be as
charitable as human nature will allow We do
not know but that we love the old gentleman
even better in adversely than we did in pros
perlty lie stands so straight, so firm, and
looks so redolent of benignity Hope has not
deserted him-despair has never reached him /!
He suffers, he endures, but he looks forward to
better days! God bless him God bless those
who follow in his footsteps and initiate his ex-

The Freedman's Complaint.

am dying, Andy, dying:
Corn and Bacon will not last fs
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Issue rations to support me,
Not working orders l-bow thine ear,
Listen to the Freedman's secret,
Not for thee alone to hear. --
Though overseers and the driver ~
Raise on high the lash no more;
Though Abe Linkum's proclamation
Lands me safe on Freedom's Shore;
Though no irons now surround me,
To make me do de white mans will,
Yet I'm sick, and faint and hungry
And there's nothing left to steal
Let no Southern servile minion rs.
Mock the Lion thus laid low,
Twas no foeman's hand that felled him,
Twas de Buro delt de blow!
Hear, then, pillowed on this bosom,
Ere too late, this Freedman say,
'sGive me rations, give me franchise,
Ere the life-tide GIBBS away"
Hank We, Howard tell the rabble,
Who demand that [ should sweat, -- 3
That my noble spouse, poor Dlnah,
Weeping in her lone retreat,
Has had dreams, the gods have told her.
Affairs, augurs, circle-wlngss
That our blood with yankees mingled
Yet shall mount the throne Of kings.
AS for all those freedom Knockers,
Home and foreign, rank and file,
Light their path to Styglan horrors
With the splendor of thy smile;
Give the Freedmen crowns and arches,
Let their brows the laurel twine;
I can scorn all labor contracts, -
Triumphing in love like thinel
Yes, Tn dying, Andy, dying, -
Hank, the insulting Provosts cry!
They are coming quick, my falchlon!
Let me front them ere die.
Now no more mid desolation
Shall my name contention swell;

ORIGIN OF THE PRINTERS DEyh.-When
Aldus Manutius set up in business as printer
at Venice. he came in possession of little negro
little black devil who assisted the mysterious
typo, and some of the ignorant persons believ-
him to be none other than the embodiment OF
Satan, who helped Aldus in the prosecution Of
his profession. One day, Manutius desiring
to dispel this strange hallucnation by publicity,
displayed the young imp to the poorer classes.
Upon this occasion he made this short but very
characteristic speech-'B Be lit known TO Venice,
that /, Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy
Church and Doge, have this day made public
exposure Of the printers devil. All those who
think he is not flesh and blood may come and
pinch him.

Gossiping.


The Wabasha (Minnesota) Herald gives the
following sensible advice to gossipers and tale
bearers:
Stop it Stop talking about your neighbors,
every one OF you, and get up series of festivi-
ties of some kind, Or turn your attention to
something else that will dispose of the idle
hours that Satan is supposed to monopolize.-
There can be but little enjoyment in this ever
lasting abuse of each other, and it amounts to
nothing except running the reputation of some
innocent persons now and then, which, although
it may be considerable, is but poor compensa-
ton for the energy displayed Don't you see,
it there was any merit in this gossip business,
| that those who are the most jealous would de-
serve the most credit, and you all know that
these common carriers are generally des-
plsed Who ever knew one of these news ven
doris, that stands ready sponsor to every knock
kneed bantling that Madam Rumor brings
forth, to have any friends, or get anything but
curses for her pains? When you have depos-
tied the filth that you have been enabled to col
lect, and are gone, your confidant turns round
and tattoos you with bad names, and INDUCES
in unkind suspicion about you, that are but poor
pay for all you have sacrificed to become a go
between. You neglect your duties at home !;
lose your self-respect; become sneaking, So
clal spy; lay yourself liable to suspicious that
oar INQUEST pen leaVes you TO imagine, and
then get nothing for it but metaphorical kicks
from all good people. Better stop it, and take
stock IN this new woman suffrage business
circulate petitions; call meetings. and get up
an excitement; wear boomers and write poe
try, or dispose OF your superabundant cussed-
ness in some way that will pay better than Cos
siping.. And you that are not quite so far gone,
stop where you are, and if you have more leis-
ure than you can dispose of, then get up some
rational amusement-sing dance, play whist,
skate or do anything else S sensible, but DOM
gossip, and for your own sakes, when one of
these social dirt-gatherers calls to empty her
scavenger cart at your feet, send down mot
at home" in italics.
