Richmond Dispatch
A short time ago an old negro was
passing through the Second Market
when his attention was drawn towards
Sc veral piles of sea trout as they lay on
the nice marble table OF a fshmonger.
Walking up to the counter, the darky
placed his nose within an inch of the
''speckled Beauties" as though testing
their soundnesS through the medium of
his olfactOries.
The keeper of the stand eyed him with
considerable interest and contempt for
his impertinence for half minute, and
in tone of anger said:

"I don't know. He went down south

When she was once more alone, busy
with her knitting, Mary recalled the
time when james Rae pleaded for her
hand. and she had replied that she
could not marry drunkard.

she had seen pass the shop on several
occasions, went in and asked for a
couple Of cheesc-cakes. These he ate,
and then asked for another and another
until he had eaten dozen. Mary felt
inclined to refuse him more for fear he
should do himself harm.
But while he was lingering the thir-

the man turned round with start and
