TuR DARKEY AND Ills TITLE Some
time since, in Mississippi, venerable
darkey, who had been led 20 believe that
with his freedom he was to receive forty
acres OF land and mule, applied TO the
head carpet-bagger of freedmen's bureau
for his ticket to vote, his mule, and the
title to his real estate, wheresoever 1t
might be. He voted the ticket given him,
and was given four little sharpened stakes,
two feet long, painted like young barber
poles, and told to select his forty acres
anywhere.
For this certificate of freedom, he was
asked ten dollars by the agent But the
darkey had but four dollars and seventy
five cents. So the loyal keeper of the
new men and brothers compromised for
this amount and the brushing of his clothes
and boots.
After the work was finished and the
money paid, the agent gave him the sticks
or stakes, and receipt for the pre-emp-
tion money, to show in case there should
be any trouble about locating the land.
The darkey found on plantation near
by forty acres, aud drove his stakes. The
owner came out to know why these things
were thus, when the darkey told him it
was all righ,-that he purchased the land
of the government and had the bill in his
pocket.
.'Let us zee it," said the planter.
''Here abe is," replied the triumphant
son of Ethiopia, hauling forth half sheet
of legal cap, on which was written:

OF all the joys earth can bestow
On forlorn mortals here below,
The best is, with pretty mate
To lean across a garCen gate,
You IL surely never go amiss'
If you will only practise this
For there's no harm. with pretty Kate,
To lean across a garden gats
No matter how the hours do fly,
Nor how the dawn lights up the ky
For all the good and all the great
Would talk across a garden gate.
If with the world you get disgusted'
Or your friend are Grabbed and crusted'
WHY with u kiss just seal your fate
Across some neighbor's garden gate
And when you're settled down in life
A happy man and happy wife
Do not forget the hours so late
Spent leaning Ger garden gate
