The truth is that the girl is a negress and

His wife became very fond Of ayoung
African girl while he was there and asked

father, thinking the missionary was jok-

came for parting wanted to be released
from his promise. Chester still persisted
IN his request. and finally. as no member

Dr. Pindar.a Schnnna

DR.. Walcot, the celebrated Peter
Pindar." was an eccentric character,
and had great many queer notions of
his own. a good story is told by one of
his contemporaries of the manner in
which he once tricked his publisher.
The latter. wishing to buy the copyright
of his works. offered him a life annuity
OF two hundred pounds sterling The
doctor, learning that the publisher was
very anxious to purchase, demanded
three hundred pounds. Ia reply the
latter appointed day on which he
would call on the doctor and talk the
matter over. At the day assigned the
doctor received him in his dressing
gown, even TO the night cap, and hav-
ing aggravated the sickly look of a nat
urally cadaverous face by purposely alb
staining from the use of the razor for
some days, he had all the appearance of
candidate for quick consumption
Added to this the crafty doctor as
sumed hollow and sepulchral cough
such as would excite the pity Of even a
sheriff S officer and make a rich mans
heir crazy with JOY. The publisher
however, refused to give more than e2OO
ull suddenly the doctor broke out into a
violent BIT OF coughing, which produced
an offer OF e25O. This the doctor
peremptorily refused, and was seized al
most instantly with another even more
inghtful and longer protracted attack
thst nearly suffocated him. when the
publisher, thinking it impossible that
such man could live long. raised his
oiter and closed with him at e3Oo. The
o'd rogue lived twenty-five or thirty
years afterward.-Life.
