A PoRotNE JOKE. "A good stJry is
told of a Mr. Sayer of Lexington, KY:
Mr. Sayle lisps little, aud good joke

on his place. Said Mr.. Sayer:
Very veil, go and buy four or FIVE

on the farm soon .5A

without questioning, asked; 10GTa ?

them here--I'll pay for them, or give you
the money to pay when you get them.'
The ovsrseer went bis way and in two
weeks returned, when the following CON

AQuEER WtLL.-We have heard Of
arather queer will which was lately aa.
mitted to probate in one of the counties
bordering on the upper Cumberland A
wealthy old citizen had two sons, onelof
whom was in the federal army, and the
other in the rebel ranks. During the
early part of the war the old gentleman
astaksn suddenly ill.,, and wishing to
divide his property equally between his
two sons, bequeathed to Henry (the fed.
eral soldier), all his slave property, en-
bracing about fifty negroes, and to Thorn
as (ths boy in gray, his entire landed
estate. He died, and thus the will stands.
Both brothers lived to return from the
war, and the gallant soldier Of the lost
cause being perfectly satisfied thatslavery
was no more, generously divided the
lands with his brother, and both are liv-
ing happily together, and are bitterly op'
posed to the radical programme,-[ Nash

NUMBER II.
Pertinent QuesIiOns Ans
WeFed.

THE New Orleans Times contains the
following pertinent Bit of catschism,
which will puzzle some Of our Radical
friends to Contute:
Did the Northern States ever have the
institution Of slavsryP Yes.
Did they free their slaVes2 No.
How did they get rid Of the accurSsd
thing2 They sold their slaves to tho
people of the South.
Why did they discoDti tinue slavery in
their midstP Because it paid better to
sell their slaves than to keep them.
Did they make any provision for tho
future freedom Of their slaves when they
sold them? No. ga9 aJar4s
What States werO chiefly engaged in
the slave trade? The, Northern States.
Did they continue the trade after
slavery was abolished in their midst p
Yes. They continued it until the cOmv
neneement Of the war.
Which Of the Northern STATES had the
greatest number OF vessels engaged in
this trade and made the most money by
keeping poor Africans and selling them
into bondage? Massachusetts,. '''
Could not Congress have passed .
gradual emancipation and colonization
act, allowing moderate compensation
for slaVes2 It could.
Would such an act have been accepted
by the SOOth? Undoubtedly.
What prompted the rebellion in the
South? An assurance that the very men
from whom originally the Southern peo-
pie purchased their slaves, after they had
been stolen from Africa, were determN
ined to release them without a restitution
of their own ill.gotton gains in the
premises, and to make use Of the Freed
men as tools. in order to perpetuate their
own political supremacy.
Have the fears of the South been re.
allied ? Yes. rLo,,
1t is unnecessary to make further ex.
tracts from this suggestive and TetrOspeO'
tive cateChism. lia-

PensiOnimg Newspapers.


According to an act of Congress, the
Clerk Of the House of Representatives is
empowered to authorize two newspapers
in each Of the excluded States to publish
the United States laws and do the official
advertising for the Government. Good
prices are paid for this work, and the
weaker class Of newspapers struggle for
il as if it we're the journalistic elixir of
life. Mr.. MCPHERSON, the House CLERK,
has awarded this patronageito papers in
nearly all Of the Southern STATES, and we
find that the fortunate ones are all oftRS
extreme Radical type, and nearly all of
them sickly concerns, which could not
long exist without food from some unit
sual quarter. 1t seems to US that if the
Radicals are determined to pension the
the few papers in the South which are
engaged in fomenting disturbances and
keeping alive political passion and hatred,
it would be better to make direct money
appropriation. !; nga*h X nos
They might as well be published in
Kamschatka as in the journals selected,
SO far as their presentation to the South
ern people Ia concerned. The said iour-
nails have no circulation that is worthy
Of the name, and the few copies thatthey
print are mainly sent to admiring friends
in the North. 1t would be better plan
to keep them alive by raHons from the

A SLEIG H RIDE:

COurting a School Ma'am.
BY H. ELLIOTT NJ BRIDE.

| sM - 900 l4Gme
UNCLE, it is a whim Of mine. l am
sick and tired Of city life, and this round
of fashion. Fortune hunters are forever
besieging me- and l am determined to
marry none Of them. Whom I marry,
the happy man shall be an honest and q
good man, and one who loves me for
myself alone, not for my fifty thousand.
'And so, my dear, this is why you wish
to leave the city, and become prim

the unsophisticated clod-hoppers out

You are dear, kind uncle said the

from his forehead and imprinted kiss
thereon.

Morton. Will you be off before day.
light tomorrow, and commence immedi.
aseIy the task of teaching the young idea
how to shoot in the proper direction p
No, uncle; | will write to that kind
lady friend Of yours, Mrs. Hawley, and
ask her if she will allow me to sojourn
with her for while. Then, when am
in Wrentham, I will have ample time to
look around me and see if | eau get an
opportunity of filling the Office Of school
mistress. And remember, uncle, 1 wish
to be known out there only as Alice Lin
vile, not as Alice Linville Harper
Mrs. Hawley will humor me know
and hope you will do the same
Certainly; anything to keep peace in
the family. Everything shall be arrarg-
ed as you desire.'
In three weeks after the conversation
above narrated took place, the pretty lit
tie Alice found herself seated behind q
high desk ia the dingy school.room Of
Wrentham, and surrounded by three or
four dozen towtheaded, dirty faced ur.
chins. For time she felt that she was
out of her sphere, and tired of her un
dertaking. She plucsed courage, how
ever, and went boldly ahead with her
work, determined tha. nothing but sick.
ness or death should remove her. In the
course of TINA she came to like the busi-
ness, and her scholars almost idolized
her; this being the case she progressed
swimmingly The school, which had
before received the name oftbe Fighting
Den, was now very much changed; and
Alice, as a teacher, received golden opin-
ions from all sorts of people.
Reader, enter with me the Office Of o
modern Esculapius. IT'S dirty place
to go, I know, as the air is perfnmed
with all kinds Of ugly and disagreeable
medicines. Harry Benson is there, and
we must enter too, if we would hear the
conversation with the young Doctor,
even Mark Percival. 7't
Il tell you, Harry, you'll regret if you
marry ber. Take my advice, and don't
propose. This kind Of love is all noon
shine. She's as poor as Jobs turkey,
and makes her living by school teaching.
Even if you could live on love for d
week, you would tire Of it after while,
and would begin to hunger for bread
and beef. Take the advice;ot a sensible
man, do not marry until you fnd q wo-
