A colored skaptic.


When schools we're established in the
South for the education of the negro, they
we're eagerly patronized by the colored
folks Of all ages. Coy maidens of thirty
and bashful lads equally old gayly trudged
to school with diminutiye primers in their
hands, while the small fry swarmed in the
school-houses, and were enthusiastic on
the education question. OF Pete, the
subject Of our anecdote, it might be truly
written that 'ne'er did pencil trace a
winter eye or blacker face" His former
master, DIR. H, had taken great pains
with him, instructing him daily in reading
and writing. In the fall Pete was to 90
to school, and anxiousIy looked forward to
it. This was in 1869, when the sun was
iE total eclipse in August. There were
oil sorts Of rumors among the colored peo-
pie about the calamities which would
happen at the time Of this phenomenon.
A few days before it occurred the follow
ing conversation took place between Pete
and friend:
s'Pete did you know dar was gwine to
pc cilpce on ue SUI ncAe neee'
Eyes" said Pete, ~ heard de folks
talkin' bout it.
sPetc / hear dat awful things is gwine
to happen when it comes. Dey say dat
de Sorld is gwine to come to an end
Curling his lips in scorn, and fixing his
big white eyes on him, Pete answered with
contempt, "Go way, niggah. Don't you
know dat school opens in September

The Matrimonial Lottery.

A young stranger called on DR. NC.
one evening, while he was pastor in New
York City, to engage his services in the
performance of nuptial ceremony.

doctor, said the young man. 81 think
the girl am to marry win make first
rate wife If you win wait a year for
your fee, and she turns out as think she
win, LII then give you fifty dollars"
They agreed, the young couple we're
married, and the incident passed from the
doctors mind At the end Of a year, at
the same time in the evening, the young
man called again. The doctor did not
recognize him at first.
ado you not remember the bargain we
made when you married me year ago ?"
"Oh, yes, replied the doctor
"WelI, said the young man, ''she is
twice as good as / thought she was There
one hundred dollars for you"
Exactly the opposite of this is the fol-
towing:
A clergyman in one of the Hudson river
towns united German couple in marriage.
When the knot was tied the bridegroom
said :--"Dominie, I've got no monish, but
Ill send you Won leetle pig" 1t twas done,
and the circumstance forgotten by the
clergyman. Two years afterward he met
the German in another town, for the first
time since the marriage ceremony was
performed.

members you married me, and / gave you

A SENSIBLE CHILD.-A little grand
nephew of Prince Bismarck was sitting on
the Princes knee the other day, when he
suddenly cried out :-"0h, uncle, hope
shall be great man like you when

cheat them.
