The Black Man enigrated tew this

was kindly furnished with a free ride
and some rice and water for vittles.
Immediately after his arrival here,
he commenced bizzincss for other folks
on our eastern coast, and had plenty
tew do.
He was very Economical in hiz hab-
its ov clothes, wearing but fu, and
those, seldom made out ov cashmere.
He occasionally changed his loca-
ton, moving into an adjoining State,
but in these journeys he waz alwaz
kindly furnished with a guide, so there
waz no danger ov hiz Citing lost.
In these trips he seldom took hiz
family with him, they were ether to
remain to hum, or made excursions in
search ov work to other States, under
the guidance ov experienced guides.
Once in a while the Black Man
would stray away far to the cold and
bitter North and get cruelty lost.
Hiz guides would mourn for him
then. and search for him, but hiz fam
lily soon reconsiled tew his loss.
Everybody sed, where he lived, that
he waz the happiest critter that had

mourn for him when he got lost.

A Touching story.

The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of
Georgia, in u recent address at a meet
ing in Alexandria, for the benefit Of
the Orphan Asylum and Free School
of that city, related the following an
ecdote:
GA poor little boy, one cold night,
with no home OF roof to shelter his
head, no parental or maternal guar
dian or guide to protect or direct him
in his way, reached at nightfall the
house of a wealthy planter, who took
him in, fed him and lodged him, and
sent him on his way with his blessing
These kind attentions cheered his heart
and inspired him with fresh courage to
battle with the obstacles OF life. Years
rolled round Providence led him on
and he reached the legal profession f;
his host died; the cormorants that
pray on the substance of man had
formed in conspiracy to get from the
widow her estates. She sent for the
nearest counsel to submit her case to
him and that counsel proved to be the
orphan boy long before welcomed and
entertained by the deceased husband
The stimulus of a warm and tenacious
gratitude was new added to the ordina.
ry motive connected With the protes.
sion. He undertook her cause with a
will not easy to be resisted he gained
it the widows estates were secured tC
her in perpctuity, and Mr.. stephens
added, with an emphasis Of emotion
that sent an electic thrill Throughout
the house, that boy stands before you =

Fast COnlpOsitOra.

They don't know what fast com
positor is in the Northwest. A SO call
ed fast type.setter is thus described by
one Of our newspapers up there:
"In the office Of a Wisconsin journal
there is a compositor who sets type SO
rapidly that the friction of his move
ments fuses the leaden emblems in his
stick, making them solid stereotype
plate. The only way to prevent this is
to have his case submerged in water;
and the rapidity of his motions keeps
the water boiling and bubbling so that
eggs have been boiled in his space-box.
Pipes lead from the bottom of his case
to a boiler in the press-room and the
steam generated by the fast compost
ors motion runs the power press. In
one day he set 50 much that it took all
hands, editor and devil, three weeks to
read proof, and it wasn't his good day
for setting type, either"
That fellow would have to do
great deal better than that, or he
would starve in the Evening Express
Office, where there are several COM
positors, either of whom could give him
fifteen hundred thousand ems start in
a race Of two hours and beat him to
death and back again. He is no more
to our fastest compositor than snail
is to streak Of lightning. This COM
positor Of ours has a fre-proof case
made with boxes which hold each ten
bushel Of letter, and when he begins
work those piles of type all disappear
simultaneously just as so many pile.
Of gun-powder disappear when you
touch redhot poker to them. He
has been known to fill thirty-three
miles of galleys, in half a day, and
forty-horse engine, consuming two tons
of coal per day, was holding him back
all the time. If he had been uncoup-
led from the engine and allowed to
spread himself, his proof-shcet would
have been as long as the Pacific rail-
road.-N Y. Express.

Truth in Brief.

Anybody can soil the reputation of
any individual, however pure and
chaste, by uttering a suspicion which
his enemies will believe and his friends
never hear of. A puff of idle wind can
make million of seeds of the thistle,
and do a work of mischief which the
husbandman must labor long and hard
to undo, the floating particles being too
trifing to be seen and too light to be
stopped. Such are the seeds of slander
so easily sown, so difficult to be gather
cred up, and yet so pernicious in its
fruits, They know that many a wind
will catch up the plague and become
poisoned by their insinuations, without
ever seeking the antidote. No repu-
tation can refute a sneer, or any hui
man skill prevent mischief.

A Beautiful Idea.

Away among the Alleganies, there
is a spring, SO smal that single OK,
in 4 summers day, could drain it dry.
1t steals its unobtrusve WAY among
the hills, till it spreads out in the beau
tiful Ohio. Thence it stretches away
Il thousand miles, leaving on its banks
more than a hundred villages and
cities and many 4 cultivated farm, and
bearing half a thousand steamboats,.
Thenjoining the Mississippi, it streatch-
es away and away some twelve hun
drcd miles more till it falls into the
emblem Of eternity. lit is one of the
great tributaries of the ocean, which
obcdient only to God, shall roll and
roar till the angel, with one foot on
sea dud the other on the land, shall
lift up his hand and swear that time
shall be no longer. So with moral
influence 1t is rill-a rivulet-a
river-an ocean-and as boundless and
fathomless as eternity?

HOWARD COUNTY.

HOW AkD COUNlls
Howard county, Missouri, contains
nearly six hundred square miles of ter
ritory, and has a population Of about
$4,000: and for fertility of soil, health
Of climate, variety Of products, and
general excellence of situations unsur-
passed by any county in the State, or,
n fact, the entire West. 1t is the
healt of the tobacco-growing section of
the State, the soil being particularly
adapted to the cultivation of that
staple. Hemp, corn and wheat are
also raised in abundance, the yield of
the latter for the year 1869 being esti-
mated at -- bushels, or an average
yield of. twenty-five bushels to the acre.
The county is located in the central
part of the State, having the Missouri
river for its western and southern
boundaries, giving it thus river front
of over fifty miles. A bed of bitumin-
GUS coal, Of the best quality, underlies
nearly two-thirds of the county, crop
ping out in various places. There are
extensive salt works also at Boonslick,
already in active operation, under the
auspices of ajoint stock company.
The surface of the county is undulat,
ing, and entirely free from swamps and
other malarious influences, rendering
it one of the healthiest locations in the
West.
The soil, especially the highland:
along the river bank, is very fertile
and produces corn crop unexcelleC
by any bottom land in the State. Oak
hickory, beach, maple and other timber
is found in abundance. AS u manu-
featuring county Howard is excellet
by few in the State.
In 1860 the capital employed in the
manufacture of tobacco alone, was
1858, 900; cost of raw material, 1871 =,
e 500; total capital invested in manu-
e factures, 03,4S5; total amount o
products, $1,005,0S7.

Daniel Websler's Fright.

Upon one occasion, Mr.. Webster
was ON his way to attend his duties in

A Legend.

The favorite Sultan threw a stone at
a poor Dervise, who had requested
aims. The insulted Santon dare not
complain, but carefully searched and
preserved the pebble, promising him
self he should find an opportunity,
sooner or latter, to throw it, in his
turn, at the imperious and pittiless
wretch. Some time after he was told
that the favorite was disgraced, and
by order of the Sultan, led through
the streets on a camel, exposed to the
insults of the populace. On hearing
this, he ran to fetch his pebble, but
after a moments reflection, cast it into
a well. 81 now perceive" said he
"that we ought never to seek revenge
when our enemy is powerful, for ther
it is imprudent nor when he is inyoly
ed in calamity, for then it is mean and
cruel"

NOTES ON LEGs.-Some enthusias-
tic Frenchman once declared the hu-
man leg to be the most philosophical
Of all studies. "Show me the lee"
says Gautier, "and l will judge the
mind )" and it does seem quite natural
that the leg should inicate the disposi-
ton as the shades Of the hair should
indicate the temperament. What
sloth, for instance, doe the limb betray? =?
What shrew is the.possesor Of q limb
like walking-sti But what a gen
tie woman is she Of the arched instep,
the round ankle, and the graceful
pedestal, swelling to perfection, and
n'odulated to lightness What dogged
obstinacy the stumpy leg with the
knotty calf exhibits What an irres-
olute soul does the lanky limb betray !!
How well the strong ankle intimates
the firm purpose how well the fiat
ankle reveals the vacant mind.
Young men about to marry-observe.
The dark girl with large leg will be-
come fat at thirty, and lie abed until
midday. The brunette, with slender,
very slender limbs, will worry your soul
but with jealousy. The olive-skin-
ned maid, with the pretty round limb,
with make you happy. The blonde
with large limbs will degenerate at
thirty-fve into the possession of 4 pair
of ankles double the natural size, and
afflicted with the rheumatism, The
fair-haired damsel, with thin limbs,
will get up at halfpast five in the
morning to scold the servants, and will
spend her night talking scandal over
tea. The little rosy girl, with sturdy
muscular, well-turned leg, will be just
the girl you want. lfyou can find &
red haired girl, with large limb, poi
the question at once. The short lady
: should always possess a slender limb
the tall lady should possess a large anC
ample one. No doubt these hints ar
reliable, and the prevailing fashion
! make them quite practical and avail
able.
