The man stood irresolute, but sinner
went down into his pocket, ratified around,
and said:
"Here's ten cents that says they are

"Well, I'll give as much,'' replied the
man. "You go and buy something, and
they can sit here and eat it,"

the children ate until he felt obliged to

The man locked after them through
the window with softer lines in his face
than had been there for months. The
boy stood outside on the walk and
watched until they had turned corner,
and then exclaimed:
"PheW! but I almost feel that I was

A NEGRO DOCTOR.
Whose Skill in the Use of Roots and Leave
Came from the Seminoles

We came across an old darkey the other
day, a character in his way, who evident
ly gave true and veritable autobiogra-
ply. He says he will be 81 years next
January and was born In South Carolina
his mother was an African born woman.
In the early days of the Revolution she
was captured by the Indians, and lived
with them for years, and while with them
became familiar with their ways of cur
ing diseases and wounds, the roots and
herbs they used, and after her return to
white settlements she became noted as a
doctress, not only Of colored, but Of white
people of high and low degree. The old
man from early childhood always went
with his mother in gathering, and assist
ed IN preparing and giving medicine, and
growing up, he has followed it up, and
had great reputation for his skill in
the up-country. He says that he has
been married three times, is the father of
twenty-eight children-all boys, no girls
and is now here on visit to his great
great-grandchildren. He generally has
in stock varieties OF roots, leaves, flowers
and decoctions for various diseases. His
diagnosis of disease is very simple, and
he makes no secret of the virtues of his
medicines or their results. It is said
that with colored patients he, eithe
from b. lief or to numor them, practices
the "spells" and "charms' which Africans
use, and which have been transplanted
and secretly continued here.

Senator Sharon once dined with q lit

he quoted from history, and little man

Sharon waxed trife warm, and insinu-

forte. After dinner, Sharon remarked to
friend, "Who is that little cuss there

LITTLE RED NOSES.
BY RI. QUAD.

How the north wind whistled and stung
the other day! It was the first signal Of
a long, dreary winter, and even men in
overcoats turned sharp corners to get out
of the biting blast. Two children, boy
and girl, neither of them over nine years
old, stood shivering in doorway, wish
ing to go on to their lowly home, but
dreading the wind. They crept closer
and closer to each other, and their chins
quivered and their noses grew red as
they grew colder. Hundreds of men and
women passed by without care, but by
and-by along came whlstling, jovial
lad of fourteen, who was swinging his
bootblack's kit by strap, and picking
up the steps of some clog dance. He
saw the shlvering bits ofhumanity, while
Others were blind, and, hating before
them with a .'clig,jigger-rigger" of his
heels, and toss of his box, he called out
''Kin I borry them ERE chins o. yours
about an hour2''
Eyes, ma'am demurelySrepl1ed the girl

piled.
IF I please-ha! ha! ha!-'nother
give-away on me! Well, you autumn
leaves, come along with me. I hain't
got no influence on the weather, but I
kin smell hot stove as fur off as the
next sinner in this town. Come right
over to this store.
He led the way across the street and
into an Office where there was fire. He
had placed chairs for them, when a man
came in from back room and said:
"What do you children want here?"
"Want some o. this waste hotness,''
bluntly replied the sinner. ''These 'ere
cubs is nigh froze to death, and Ybrought
'em here to thaw out"
"And we won't even look at you, nor
cough, nor sneeze!' added the little girl,
as she saw frown on the mans face.
ssThat's richness; there's innocence ~
laughed the sinner; and the mans face
cleared, and he poked up the fire and
said they could sit nearer.
"S'pose men you chip in and buy 'em
sumthin' to stay their stomachs2" sug-
gested sinner, all of sudden. "Tell you
what, some of the children in this town
don't have a square meal any more'n
you'n me wear diamonds. Little gal, are
ye hungry?"

PLOTS AND ESCAPES.
The history OF old Newgate is rep4ete
with interesting stories of the attempts
Of prisoners to gain their liberty. Some
of them are OF thrilling interest. 1t
might be supposed that escapes would
be impossible, but sharp-witted and des-
perate convicts frequently succeeded
! The first general escape was during the
Revolutionary War, when the prison had
been but recently occupied. The small
number OF prisoners were shut in a
chamber, and it was the custom of the
Warden to carry them their meals There
was an anteroom or passage through
which to pass before reaching their cell,
and the Warden looked through the
CRATES into this passage to observe, wheth
er the convicts were near the door. II
not he entered and locked it after him
