the porch, a messenger he little dreamed
OF seeing that morning came, all unob-

messenger of death. In Lis long wears

Tit for Tat.

Dobbs was up and doing last April
Fool Day. A singular phenomenon was
to be seen in the vicinity of his place of
business. Dobbs went home from his
store the last evening in March, and while
taking tea remarked to his wife that his
colored porter had been blessed with an
increase in his family.
"WhY," said Mrs. D., ''that makes
nine!" .'.5..# s. sr
Exactly" said he; "but the singular
lty about this new conner is, that one-half
OF its face is black"
! Dear mel" exclaimed Mrs. D.: s'that is
singular indeed. How strange! What can
be the cause of such d1stigrrement?"
"Can't say" replied Dobbs, ''But it is
curiosity worth seeing, to say the least
of it. =

Dobbs knew she would, so he went out
to smoke a ci gar. Next morning, after
he went to his store, the kind-hcarted
woman made up basket of nice things,
and, taking the servant. girl, went down
TO cheer up the mother and see the sin
gular child. When Dobbs went home to
dinner his wife looked surprised. Before
he had time to seat himself she said:

other side; that was black, too. First Of

Dobbs departed in haste and did not re.

he looked disappointed.
