PROMISING TO MARRY THE GIRL.-We,
yesterday, heard rather good story on one
of our city ministers. During last winter a
revival was in progress in one of our country
churches near the city. Among the regular
attendants on the meeting was beautiful
and estimable, but rather unsophistica,e
young lady, whose friends were very anxious
to have her unite with the church.
She seemed, however, reluctant to do so,
and tho minister in question was requested
to stalk to ber.2 This be did several times.
on one occasion saying, in ajocuar manner,
:" Miss NJ, if you'll join the chuich. I'll mar.
ry you," meaning he would perform the oerc
mony. The girl seemed. pleased with the
proposition, and few evenings after walked
up to the altar and united with the church.
Several weeks after this the minister
preached at the church, and, after services,
met the yonng lady. Brother =" said
she. "you know you promised to marry ME if
I'd join ,he church. Are you going to do so i?
don't wont to wait any. longer" The min
lister saw his dilemma and attempted to ex-
plain. g. 1 meant would perform the cere.
mony,n he said, "that's all. can't marry
you myself, for / am already married, and
love my wife too much to desire to swap her
off for another"
The young lady became indignant, declared
that she'd leave the church, and that she
"never did have much faith in these town
preachers" Our ministerial friend declares
that he will never again use any other thai,
plain scriptural argument to induce Young
lady to join the church.--New Albany Daily

One of the Practical Results.

The negroes are generally under the ims
preston tha- the crushing taxation provided
for in the new Gonstit alton jstoe fall aimast
exclusively on the; whites because the latter
own nearly oil the property in the State. 70
show that they are mistaken, we willre!ate
an incident that occurred since the election.
a gentleman OF our acquaintance, in the days
Of slavery an indu!gent master, and always.a
liberal employer, has in4his employ q num-
ber Of negroes. These negroes. voted the
Radical ticket, the employer making 10 effort
whatever to influence them 10 vote against
the Constitutions
The election over, and the Constitution rat
flied, the employer called up the employees
and, in mild but decided manner, address
ed them substantially as follows: Have /
not always treated you we'll? Have not
gone security ior your house rent2 Have l
not made frequent advances On your wages
In short, have / ever refused you a favor 2"
These acts:beiog ali admitted, the employer
proceeded: well, you nave voted to make
my taxes i've times as great as they werclast
year; and, while have conceded to you the
right to vote as you pleased, and maae. nc
effort to induce you to vote as voted, these
increased taxes must come out ofyour wages
if you stay with me-"
The negroes listened attcntigely to these
sound, pract Cal Words but tEey could make
no reply. The decision OF the employer was
a Just and proper one. The negroes thi2k
that the new Constitution is to prove highly
beneficial to their race; and is it not fair to
insist that they pay something for the bene-
fits {?
The whites think the Constitution oppres-
sivc and they cannot be expected to bear
the entire burden of taxation. When capital
is taxed, labor is taxed. 1t cannot be other
wise., The Convention Disseminated against
the whites in their schemes for taxation; but.
they.oyerlooked the important fact thar, 49s
they lessen the ability Of the property holder
to meet his taxes, they lessen his ability to
pay high wages.
We ihirk it right that the color..d, man
should pay fair proportion Of the taxes and
we know Of 10 better plan than tae Que
originated BY .he gentleman we refer to
Wilmington Morning Star.

A Distant Relation.

An incident occurred some time ago at

No one answered.
"Wcl then, whar is the cap'un? I must
see Col. Mcintosh"
On being informed that the captain was on
tie hurricane deck, our inquiring friend
PASSED through the crowd in that direction.
"Haul in the planks and shove her off"
sounded in his ears just as he reached the
deck.
"Stop her. cap'un-stop her 1 ain not
