A woman FOOLS The Deyil.

If you want to know how the natural
bridge was built across the Mynach river
in Wales, this is the true story:
Once upon time an old woman had a
COW, that fed on the Crom folder noun
tain, and came home night and morning
to be MIXED. One evening she did not
come, and the old lady, much troubled,
went to fetch her. When she came to
where the Mynach flows between two
high rocks, she saw the COW on the other
side.
Then she set up loud lameDtation,
for she saw the COW could not come to
her, and she could not 60 to the COW, for
the river could not be crossed, and it was
a days journey to 90 round.
In this straight the devil appeared.
Sol so you've lost your COW, old lady,
have your Never mind, III build you
bridge, and you shall go fetch her," 5
''Thankee kindly, sir; I'll be mech
obliged to you if you will, and she curt
sled low and with much humility.
ITO be sure will; and he cast a look
at her out of the corner OF his eye. But
the COW is worth something's must have
toll; keep that dog quiet can't your
for the old woman had cur dog that
kept on growing and grumbling.
'Harkee, old lady--ifI build you the
bridge, I'll have the first that crosses it.
Is it bargain r .-1
She was sorely troubled. II she went
over for the cow she had sold herself to
the devil; and if the COW came to her, she
lost her COW.
Bridge or no bridget said the devil.
Build the bridge, sir, if you please"
"Ay, ay, said the devil, tits very
easy to say build the bridge, but do you
agree to the toll2
Eyes; sure, sir, replied the woman.
With that the devil put both his fore
fingers to his mouth, and gave shrill
whistle; and there was the bridge sure
enough, and the devil sitting on the mid
die Of it, smiling away like clock-work,
rocking himself to and fro, and switch
ing his tail with great satisfaction.
The old woman shook like an aspen
leaf, but she took crust of bread from
her pocket, and showing it to the dog,
threw it over the bridge and past the
devil where be sat in the middle. ~
Whip that dog" said the devil; for
he was cut to the quick at being outwit-
ted by the--old woman; but he did not
want the dog, and he did not try to stop
him, and the bridge was crossed and the
spell broken. he was mortified and an
CRY, but, being gentleman, be arose
and doffed his hat to the old lady-for
the keen respect the keen-and having
done so, he hung his tail, much humbled,
and walked away,
And the old chronicler who records
this fact comments thus on the incident:
1T must be acknowledged that Satan be-
haved very honorably and kept his word
which is more than men always do"

Shot Dead.

Yesterday two negroes residing on the
Gregory farm, one and half miles from
Whites Station, engaged in personal
difficulty which resulted in the death of
one of them named Nose jenkins. Jen-
kins on his way to his field had to pass
by the cabin of Sam Foster. Yesterday
as he was passing he found Foster and
his wife quarreling, and he ordered them
to stop. Jenkins had hoe on his
shoulder and started toward Fosters
cabin, when he was ordered to stop by
the latter. Not needing the order, Fos-
ter seized shot gun and fred load of
buckshot into Jenkins throat, killing
him instantly, A warrant for his arrest
was issued, but the murderer escaped,
To-day Esquire Brooks held an inquest
on the body Of jenkins and the jury
returned verdict of wilful murder

what a Negro Preacher saw.

A Selma ala, preacher has, accord
ing to Southern exchange, been telling
his congregation a strange yarn. We
hope he preached " to the Marines"
but his audience was colored, and he
himself the hue of ebony. The negro is
credulous.
He said that young man, living in
one of the many towns he had visited,
asked young lady to accompany him
to church on the Sabbath day. She re-
piled pettishly, that her hair had not
been curled, and that she would go to
the bad place with her eyes wide open
before she would venture to the church
with her hair uneurled. And she went
not at that time; but the next Sunday,
having gotten her eurls adjusted, she
ventured out and listened patiently to
the sermon until its close When the
congregation had been dismissed she
moved toward the door, but fell on
reaching the portal, with her feet to the
door and her head toward the pulpit.
As she fell her clothing cracked like
Chinese crackers exploding, and on ex-
aiming her face, it was found that her
eyelids were completely goHe. She was
dead, but it was impossible to close her
eyes, because Of the loss of the lids.
When her friends crowded around to
raise her up, they found themselves un-
able to move her The sequel showed
that it took twelve strong men to lift her
from the floor, and twelve to put her in
her coffin. 1t also required the united
exertions Of twelve ministers to preach
her funeral sermon-an exceedingly
heavy job doubtless. When the last sad
rites we're being observed, the lid OF the
coffin suddenly raised of its own accord,
and something about the size of black :
cat leaped out. And as this creature
iumped from the coffin to the floor 1t
cried aloud TO the petri6ed audience;
Wait wait wait until i curl my hair
AS expect to answer in the day OF
Judgment" said the sable divine, Il saw
this scene with my own eyes, and 1t was
lust as l have told it.
