lish nobleman, recently decea, ed;:: The
duke was. once in, church. when eollec-
ton. was announced for'some charitable
object. The plate began to go round,
and the duke carefully put his hand into
his pocket and took out tlorii1, which
he laid on the. pew before him, ready
to be transferred to the plate. Beside
him; sat 81 little snob,, who, noticing this
action, initiated it by .ostentatiously
laying a sovereign alongside the ducal
-horin. This was too much for his grace,
who. dipped his hapd into his pocket
again and pulled: Out another form,
Which he laid by the side of the first
The little sHqn followed suit; by laying
another SOY vessigns beside the first. Ills
graeeEYuietlyT added g. third form,
which was capped by a third sovereign
on, the part OF the little sneb: :. Out
came a fourth fiorn to swell the dukes
aonation,. and then the little snob
triumphahtiy y: laid three sovereigns at
once upon the board The duse, not
to be beaten, produced. three Herins.
just at this moment the plate arrived.
The little: snob took up his handful Of
soyereig:s, ostentatio:sl,;: tattled them

and quietly swept the remainder inso

Slavery in Eng'and.

The pleasing notion that there is no
such thing as slavery in: England, re-
marks the London YruM, is rather rude
]y shaken by an extraordinary story
which was. .tolu the other day: in the
Croydan Police Court. 4 lodging house
keeper applied for a summons against
one Of the dodgers for systematically
ill~treatng little negro boy, whose
screams sile had often heard through
the door. The boy had been PURCHASED
in Africa as a servant, and when the
lady demonstrated with her lodger" for
his cruelty, he replied: ''Oh! he is only
a colored child; and, besides, he be-
longs to my brother.'. The landlady's
interference seems to have been visited
on the little boy, who had his wrists
tied together, and was hung up to a
hook On the wall of the room.
