AIMING Their Snneriors.

Nothing seems to be more universal
than the practice servants have of initial
ing their masters. In the South this was
more noticeable In ante-bellum times than
it is now, for then changes ia housahol
or personal servants were exceedingly
infrequent. It was very common then for
servants to ape the manners, expressions,
tone of voice and eccentricities of their
masters and mistresses, ana frequently to
assume their very names.
Often the servants appeared to think 1t
a conscientious duty to show respect for
their masters, by assuming their airs and
bearing. and a slur on their masters was
almost sure to be met with reproof or re-
sentiment, especially if it WAS cast by
servant ofsome envious neighbor. Some
times the servants appeared uncon-
sciously to ape their masters, while occa-
sionaliy one would find a slave possess
ing a fine, If uncultured, vein OF humor,
who would, when encouraged by a dram
or quarter Of dollar, entertain one for
an hour or two with life-like delineations
Of the characters and peculiarities OF
their masters or other prominent men
whom they know. Some OF these dusky
actors are yet found in our villages or on
the plantations, and not few Col. Smiths
and Judge Roblnsons have vet colored
counterparts, who have initiated them so
closely that the assumed characters have
become kind Of second nature.
An American writer travelling in Eng
land gives an interesting account of his
observation of a similar practice among
the white servants in that country. The
lackeys and waiting maids there also as
sumo the manners, expressions and even
the titles OF their masters and mistresses.

team from ON Lord" aud get out for a
holiday, green citizen from this land OF
liberty might we'll mistake them for a
party Of the titled nobility Of the United
Kingdom, were il not for their gaudy
dress and too free aud easy manners.
In this country personal servants now
are constantly changing places, and there
are few who remain long enough with one
master to become in any respect identified
with him. IL is true, however. that in
our cities and towns dudes. bellies and
ministers as we'll az lawyers and public
officials have scores of imitators among

A Pleasant Superstition.

New York Herald.-st. James Ga
zette pscalls pleasantly the oft told
story OF the wooden image in sene.
From all the country round young
girls pay n visit to the image for the
purpose of sticking pin into it. 1t is
pretty we'll dccayed by this time, and
how many thousands of pins have
been hopefully and yet fearfully driven
into it no man can tell. If the wooden
image had been q living man lie
would have died long ago Of his many
wounds. IS =.
Those pins mean marriage; hence
the "earn,stness with which they are
contributed. They must be driven
we'll into tbs wood, ior if they fail out
tile betrothal will prove IL failure. Il
they stay, however, the marriage will
take place within year. 1t must also
be strong pin, for if it bends in the
driving the husband will be bunch.
back or a cripple.
We may laugh if we will, but if a
wooden image of that sort were set up
in this country, it would probably
have all the pins it wanted, and some
TO SPARE. It is foolish superstition,
doubtless, but young girls like to 'be on
the sale side i'm such matters. ' S''
