'The oldest inhabitant' perfectly remembers
j the Widow Trotter, who used, many years ago,
j to occupy a small woouen house away down
J iii Hanover street, in somewhat close proximity
' tt> Salutation Alley. Well, this widow was
| blessed with a son, who like Goldsmith and
? ?.on /1i/<l?n/r<i!i;Ua<l in ? Pf t?r lll'.i \vf?iC
I man v uuici iiivu) ui^miguioiicu in uuwi sin.,
' the dunce ol' his class. Numerous were the
hoggings which his stupidity brought upon him,
and the road to knowledge was with him truly
a 'vale of tears.'
One day he came home, as usual, with red
eyes and hands.
"O you blockhead !' sproamed his mother?
she was a hit of a virago, Mrs. Trotter was?
'you've beiigettin' asiother lickiu' I know.'
'O,yes; replied young "ir. Trotter; 'thats
one uv the reg'lar exeicisea?lickin'me. ',Wter
I've licked Trotter,' says the master, Tli
hear the 'litiuuetic class.' 'iiut mother, to
change the subject, as the criminal said when
he found the judge getting personal, 'is there
any arrant 1 can do for you V
'Yes,* grumbled the widow; 'only you're so
eternal slow about anything yon undertake ?
go get a pitcher of water, and, be four years
about it, will ye!'
JJoh Trotter took the pitcher, and wended
his way in the direction of the street pump;
but he hadn't got far, when he encountered his
fijeud, Joe Hulier, the mate of a vessel, issuing
fro:.i iiis house, ami dragging a heavy sea-chest
' loiliX illllT llllll.
'Coine, Hob,' said Joe, 'bear a hand am! help
me down to Long V? liart'witli this.'
'Well, so I would,' said IJob, 'only von see
mother sent me alter a pitcher of water.'
'What do you care lor your mother?she i
don't care for vou. Come along.'
'Well,' said Hob; 'tirst let me hide the pitcher i
where I can lind it again.'
With these word* lie .-lowed away his earth- j
eu-ware under a '.light of stone steps, and accompanied
his iVieml aboard ship. The pilot
was mging the captain to cast oli'and take advantage
ot the wind and tide, hut the captain
was awaiting the arrival nfa hoy who had slapped
the tlav before, and wishing no good to his '
eyes ior liie del.iy he had occasioned.
At last he turned to lioh, and said?
'What do you say youngster, to shipping
with me ! 1 li treat you well, and give you leu |
dollars a month.'
'1 should like to go,' said Hob, hesitatingly,
'hut my mother '
'ilang tour mother!' said the Captain.? j
'She'll be glad to get rid of you.'
'I Iiaiul got no clothes,'
'Ji-Mf .s a elios-t 1'iH. i he other chap was <
just vom* size, ami they'll lit von to a 'I'.'

'Cast uli thai lino there!' shouted the cap- |
lain : ami the .ship foil mi' with tI?e lido and was
soon standing down the hav wilii a lair wind, j
and every stitch ol canvass set. ."die wa$l?miuil j
for flio .Northwest via Canton, and hack again, j
which was then called the double voyage, and !
usually occupied about lour voars.
In liiv1 meanwhile, the non-appearance of;
!>oh seriously ..Ruined his mother. V iiignt
passed,and the town crier was called into re- j
rpiisilion, a week, when she gave, liim up. had i
a note read for her in meeting, and went into j
mourning.
.fast four years after the occurrences, the "
ship got back to port, and lh>!> and Ins friend
were paid oil". The wages of the widow's son
amounted to just four liuudred.and eighty dollars,
and lie found on sipiariug his accounts .
with tho cnjitniii, t!i;i! his advances nan aiiimini- j
od to tint odd toils, and lour hundred dollars j
clear were the frails of his long cruise.
As lie walked in the direction of his mother's :
Iioiim', in company with Joe, he scanned with
a curious eye lite houses, the shops, and the
people that lie passed. Nothing appeared
changed ; the same signs indicated an michangit
g jhospitalit v on the part of the same landlord,
the same loafers wore standing at the
same corners?it seemed as if lie had heengone
only a day. With the old sights and sounds,
Boll's old feelings revived, he almost dreaded
to see, debouching from some alley, a detateh- i
meat of hoys sent hv his ancient enemy, the
schoolmaster, to know why he had been playing
truant, and to carry him to receive the customary
walloping.
When lie was near home, lie said to himself:
'Joe, I wonder if anybody's I omul Hint oki
pitcher ?'
lie stooped down, thrust his arm under the
stone steps and withdrew the identical piece of
earthen-ware he had deposited there just four ;
years a go. Having rinsed and tilled it at the J
pump, he walked into his mother's house, and :
found tier seated in her accustomed arm-chair.
&he looked at him for a minute, recognized ;
him, screamed and exclaimed ;
*\\ hy, IJoh ! where have von been?
What have you been doing V

THE XOJITii AND THE SOUT II.
a In 1iro:ifiluitn.
Thoro is a great. J'uvs up about South- i
em-rights and Northern aggressions, and* ail 1
lliat sort of tiling, wo privntne it. will do much j
to quiet matters and subside the troubled poiiti- :
! eal waves, if we can demonstrate, as we hold |
| ourselves prepare-! to do, that there .is no such j
| a thing as thy Sot ,'.i. We do not deny that j
j there is a point of the compass called, for the
sake of convenience, "the South.'* and thai there j
is one portion of the Confederacy farther re- j
moved from t : North I'ole than another. Ail J
this is very cheerfully conceded, but does not j
j in the least aii'ect onr proposition. It can be I
j shown that every thing in the place we desig- j
! nate "the South," has a Northern origin, except
perhaps the soil and sunshine, then the case
shall have been clearly made out.
The farmer cultivates his land with Northern
I tool;, lceds ami clothes Ins lamtiv n un .\ona- i
| crn products; he employs a Northern govern- j
ess, who teaches his daughters to perform j
Northern music 011 a Northern piano, and to ,
read Northern novels, and follow Northern
fashions. He learns his 3on to ride a Northern
horse, with a Northern bridle and saddle, and '
| urge him on with a Northern whip or North- i
! era spurs fastened to Northern bouts; he sends
1 him to .school to a Northern teacher, to be j ;
J taught i.t Northern books, and finishes his men- i '
j tal provision by sending him to a Northern
I College. The I; on so wile sees her Northern |
| furniture and Northern piate through her North- i
j em spectacles; she prepares her Northern dour ;
| with Northern yeast, and imi.es it in a North- j (
! ern oven, cuts it with a Northern knife, puts it j
j in a Northern dish, and places it before her j
! guests who are sealed on Northern chairs a- |
i round a Northern table covered with a North- ,
em cloth ; she doses her children with Northern
medicine, dresses in Northern prints, and (
every tiling about her is Northern Irom the nut- ]
; meg she grates to the carriage1 in which she (
I rides. It is the same with her liege lord, he
j drinks his Northern brandy front a Northern
tumbler, Ighls bis Northern cigar with a No' tii- j
i 7 rt # c j ,
ern match, stretches ids feet on a Northern fell- '
der or lounges on a Northern sofa, and reads (
!n< northern newspaper: lie finally takes sick, '
throws himself upon a Northern bed, sends fur !
a Northern physician, who fundles him with j

M'A LISTER THE MAGICIAN AND THE
MARKET WOMAN.
McAlister the famous magician, was passing
through one of our markets the other morning,
accompanied by a friend when they suddenly
paused before an old woman who had a few
doren eggs to sell.
"Arc these eggs?" enquired Mac.
"Yaw, (ley ish very fresh." was the reply.
"I mav try a few of them I suddosc. to Drove
tiiem if 1 pay you for nil I break.
' Yaw said the vender of eggs and McAliater
immediately proceeded to break one.
' Good gracious!" he exclaimed with feigned
astonishment, "What is this?" and he picked
out of it a gold piece. The woman started
in surprise. McAlister broke another egg
?the woun.'i eyeing him closely?when tf>
lier increasing surprise, out dropped a ?10gnlu
piece. Tiio magician took up another
egg, which he broke, when out fell a $5 gold
piece upon the stand.
"I rather like these eggs,' he quietly remarked
breaking another, and picking up a quarter
eagle piece from the ruins. By this time the Dutch
woman ! gnu to get excited, and taking her
basket exclaimed: 1
"I doesii ant like to see mine eggs all proke
on te ground. I
41 Oli, nonsense, my good woman what i?
that to you so you get your pay returned Mac.
"At all events, let nie have one more egg,"
and so saying he took another egg, which he
Iroke and extracted another gold piece.
The woman now refused to sell another egg
at any price. Whereupon the magician and
Ins companion, paying for the damage they
had done continued their walk through the
market. After some little time they returned ;
tojthe scene of egg exploit, when to their astonishment,
behold! the Dutch wcnrratimttTacrowd
around her, and was smashing her eggs as fast
is she could but looking in vain for the gold
nieces.
Why what is the matter good woman?"
said Ale A lister. ,
"Vere ish do eggs mit golt?" shreeked the
woman.
"Why you dont know how to sort them?
now let me see?I'll take this one.?
"No you shant," exclaimed the vender
snatching the egg and breaking it herself, but
with the same mortifying result.
"I guess the good ones are all gone," said
the magician but as you haven't many I'll tako
the lot at vour regular price.
With a sign the woman consented, and ha?ileu
over the basket McAlister at once began
to examine the eggs closely, and presently began
to break them?one?two?three?four
