Matthew Hobson, generally called 'Black Matt/ on account of the darkness of his oomplexion, was well known among the inhabitants of the seaboard of Virginia, some years ago, as a slave dealer, and accomplished broker in bad flesh. Be once purchased a bright mulatto by the name of Sam at a very low price, on aoconnt of his numerous bad qualities, suoh as thieving, lying, and drunkenness. Sam was intelli gent with all ins faults?could read aod write, aod ape the airs of a most polished gentleman. He was so far removed, too, from the pure African, that he could scarcely be distinguished from the pure white man. On his becoming the property of the slavedealer, be<*eceived several admonitions, in Order that he might have a foretaste of the temper of his master. Secretly he vowed vengeance for these striking proofs of ^Matt's affection, and in a short time an opportunity offered to gratify that vengeance." Mate made up his gang, and shipped at Norfolk. The barque arrived safe ly at New Orleans, and was brought to the wharf. In order that Sam might bring a a good price, he was togged off in fine olothes?calf-skin boots, a silk hat, and kid gloves. Matt thought by this external show to realize at least $600 for the mulatto, as the body servant of some rich planter^ * Sam was consequently allowed to go on shore, in order to ^ehow himself off. He nroneedftd tn th? Alhamhra. and tViera sfmt. ted along among the beat of them. Hearing a portly clergyman remark that he wished to purchase a good body servant, he went up to him, and with an independent swagger, said: 'My dear sir, I have got jnst the boy that will suit yon.'' 'Ha,' rejoined the planter, 'I am glad to hear yon say so, for I have been looking ( for one for several days. What do you ask for him.?' ^ \ 'Nine huodred dollars,' replied Sam, ! 'and cheap as dirt at that. He has every ' quality?can shave, dress hair, brush boots, 1 and is besides polished in his manners. I oould have got fifteen hundred dollars for him, but for one fault.' 'Ha !' ejaculated the planter, 'and pray ' what kind of fault is that ?' 'Why, sir, a ridiculous one. He imagines | himself a white, man.' ' 'A white man ?' exclaimed the planter, laughing, 'that is a funny conceit, indeed ; j but I can soon cure him of that?I've had considerable experience in training and * managing gentlemen of color.' Oh lair,* continued Sam, 'there is but * little jjoubt that he can be cured?though j you may find some trouble at first.' 'Well, sir, you appear to be a gentleman,' said the planter, who was rather too anx- 8 ious and confiding. <1 will take him on 8 your recommendation. Where is he now ?' 'On board the barque yonder at the wharf; you can see him at any moment/ 6 replied Sam. ^ 'Good!' exclaimed the planter, 'I am ^ much pleased with your honesty and candor, ^ and in order to save time?here are nine , hundred- dollars?please give me a bill of sale.' g Sam got the olerk to draw up a bill of sale, signed the name of Samuel Hopkins, pocketed the money and told the planter to ask the captain for Black Matt; he would himself be on board as soon as be closed a bargain with another gentleman who was ^ desirous of purchasing one of his field hands. . The pursy planter made his way to the barque, and demanded of the captain to see the. boy Black Matt. The officer pointed to^fatthew Hobson who sat on the quarter deck smoking his cigar and superintending the debarkation of his slaves. 'Afe you Black Matt, my fine fellow!' asked the planter, addressing the slave merchant. 'Folks call me so at hum,' was the reply, 'but here my name is Matthew Hobson. What do you want?? 'I'll tell you, Matt, what I want. I ^ want you. You're a likely looking fellow, I and will just suit me.' ^ 'Look here, stranger,' said Matt firing up, 'may be you dont know who you are speaking to?' 'Yes I do tho'?you're my property; I boughtyou of your master, Samuel Hopkius, u just now.' . . 'You bought me ! the devil you did, I'm a white man !' said Matt. .n 1 njome, come now,' calmly said the man,! <it won't do?I know you?you can't humbug me with your conceits?I'll whip it out of ywtf sir,?I'll teach you'? * Here'Matt drew back and aimed a blow P at the ruddy nose of the planter, who seiz j ed him by the throat and bellowed for the . police. An officer happened to be on the levee?he at the instance of the planter seized the slave and bore bim to the calabose, where he remained until evidence could be j procured identifying him as a free born white c citizen of the United States. a Sam, in the mean time, got on board a ship that was just weighing anchor for an European port, and has never been heard of t since- Thus has the rascal had his revenge. Matt lost his slave, and the green fat gen- s tleman bis money. BONED'TUBKEY. ] George Coleman and my myself were chums, and, as a natural consequence, room- t ed together. George possessed a spirit for j fun; and when an opportunity offered where- t by he could outwit the faculty or the everwatchful tutors, he was sure to improve it. nnM on A T-olnn nnnnl * 1 ? vuv VV1U auu 4HIUJ CICUlUg lUVYdlU IUC j | latter part of December, George and my- j self were snugly ensconced in onr little room on the third floor of the college building. Both of us had been for the last two hours deeply' engaged in study. Now our e studies being fully learned, wc threw aside | our books, and sat gazing vacantly at the ] fire. Presently, George arose; and, after i pacing up and down the room several times, exclaimed, aloud: ?I have it! Now for some fun.' He thereupon seated himself in front of me, and as though some matterof great im- j portance were to be discussed. 'Lew,' said be, 'what do you say to having some roast turkey?' I replied that it would be very acceptable, and wished to be informed how we were to procure the article in question. 'Why, easy enough,' replied he. 'All you have to do is to follow my directions, i and the turkey will be forthcoming.' j He then bade me remain till be returned. Potting on bis hat and coat, be left the room. He soon returned, however, and from beneath his overcoat produced a fine, plump turkey, all dressed, ready for cooking, procured by Bome mysterious means. He set about the task of being chief cook, tying a piece of thin wire to the neck of the fowl and then suspending it, like Mohammed's coffin, between earth and heaven, from the mantle shelf, thereby imitating the old custom of cooking. All things had progressed very well, so far; and the savory smell arising from the now nearly cooked turkey, served to increase our appetite, and our mouths watered at the sight. It was now done and ready to be served, when we were startled by a load knock at the door. George hastily caught up our bird, and raising the window, let it gently down by the wire; then making the wire fast, be softly closed the window, and resumed his studies, while I waited on the door, which I opened ; and there before me stood one of the tutors ! He said he called to see if our room needed any repairing; and we, of course, invited him to enter, wbioh he did. He said that he always took a deep interest in the personal welfare of the students, and he thought perhaps our closet wanted repairing?thereupon looking into it. He next looked under the bed, to see if we needed any carpet there; also in the bed, to see if more covering was essential to our comfort. But finding all right, he seated himself in a chair, and very coolly wanted to know if the culinary department had been moved to the upper part of the building, as he smelt the fumes of cooking very plainly. We made what excuse we could; and after remaining in all about an hour and a half, he took his leave. fi-enrcre immediately raised the window. v a ' and hauled up the wire on which our evening meal had been suspended. But judge of our chagrin and astonishment when we beheld, instead of the turkey, only the bones fastened to the wire and a paper accompanying them, on which was written: That was mighty good! Send us another.' The joke of it was, we had bung it a?ainst the window of the room below ours j md the inmates seeing it dangling down, appropriated it to their own use. Long ifter that we were known as the cooks. TAKING A MAN TO PIECES. k Captain Evans was an old naval veteran )f sixty-seven. Hfr had lost an arm and in eye, years and years before, atNavarino, ivhich last action settled his understanding, ioth legs being carried off by chain shot. Jork legs were coming into fashion. Capain E. had a pair of the first quality made or him; he had a false leg and hand; ind into the latter he could screw a fork or look, as occasion required, and being glov- i :d the deficicenoy was not easily perceived, j \s increasing years rendered him infirm, i lis valets took advantage of him, so that! le wrote to his brother, a Somersetshire i quire, to send him up some tenant's son as l body-servant. 'No matter bow stupid, if >ut bonest and taitbtul, be wrote. His brother was abseDt, and sent to bis teward to select a lad. This the steward lid, but merely mentioned that Captain Svans was infirm, not apprising the lump;in of his new master's deficiences, and sent lim to London at once, where the Captain ived. At ten at night he arrived, and was hown to Captain Evans' sitting-room. 'What is your name ?' 'My name be John, zur.' 'Well, John, my rascally valet is absent ji gain, without my leave; help me to bed,; s it is getting late, and then you can goi lown to your supper.' Adjourning to the bed-room, the old gen- j leman said: 'John, unscrew my leg.' r 'Zur' ? said John. 'Unscrew my leg, this way, 6ee.' i John did so, trembling. 'John, unscrew my other leg.' jl 'Zur?'said John. j 'Unscrew the other leg, sir.' h John did so, now in a great state of be- '| rilderment. 'John, unscrew this arm.' ji Trembling still more, to the Captain's j i reat amusement, he obeyed. 'John, put this eye on the table.' Johu took it as if it would have bitten j iim. 'Now, John?no I won't take the other ji ye out?lift me into bed.' This done, the waggish Captain contin-11 led : 'John, beat up the pillow, it is not com- : ortable.' It was done. 'Beat it up again, sir; it is quite hard.' i He again shook it up. 'That won't do, John ; I can't get my j lead comfortable, t'onfouna it, John, un- j crew my head 1' 'Nay, Day ! I'll unscrew no more !' And John fled from the room to the ;itchen, swearing his master was Satan, ta:ing himself to pieces like a clock. An Irish Understanding.?'If I catch ees Dear my house again, I'll break your leek, ye rascal,' said one Irishman to nother. 'But you asked me yourself.' 'But I didn't ask yees to make love to!' ny wife, ye scoundrel.' 'I haveu't made love to your wife; you ire larboring under some mistake.' 'Don't tell me that now: didn't I see you vid ray own eyes trying to come the blarley over her ?' 'But I tell you I didn't do any such hing. I don't care that for your wife,' givog his fingers a snap at the words, 'nor hat.' 'Yees don't care for her, hey? She's as ?nnd a wnmnn as vnn are anv day. ve dirtvi ~ J J J ?

Why, bars, to be sure. They are put on bank windows to keep thieves out, rod on jail windows to keep them in. flay-'What object do you see V asked a doctor of a youug man. The young man | hesitated for a few moments, and then re- j plied : 'It appears like a jackass doctor, but I rather think it is your shadow.' figrWhat is the difference between one! who walks and one who looks up a flight of itaris? One steps up stairs and the other jtares up steps. ggy Auot Betsey says be is a mean man who skims his milk on top, and theu turns ;t over and skims the bottom. Jfact Jfmt & jfattcg. The pleasure of doing good is the only one that never wears out. There is just as much intemperance in drinking physic, as in drinking anything else. ' " . Never purchase love or friendship by gifts; when thus obtained, they are lost as soon as you stop payment. 'Jane,' said a wag, 'it's all over town ?' What's all over town?' 'Mud.' Jane's eyes dropped. ... Tkfl nnnfidanfiol friandshin nf t.wn had aud cunning men is generally an injury to others, and no benefit to themselves. The young queen of Portugal lately asked her husband at dinner what wine he preferred. Port-you-gal!' was the reply. A crusty old bachelor says he thinks it is woman, and not her wrongs, that ought to be redressed. Nothing is more odious than the face that smiles abroad, but flashes fury amid the caresses of a tender wife and children. ... Why is the bridegroom more expensive than the bride ? Because the bride is always given away, and the bridegroom is usually sold. ' S&" A gentleman praising the generosity of his friend, observed :?'He spends his money like water.' 'Then off course he liquidates his debts,' rejoined a wag. Prentice thicks if a young lady has a thousand acres of valuable land, the young men are apt to conclude that there are sufficient grounds for attachment. A rich man told a poor man that he worked to get a stomach'for his meat. 'And I,' said the poor man, 'work to get meat for my stomach.' It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back upon half the world. ** It is a general remark that all classes aP nnrcnno nrn ooor ron^tr fn crivA tflPlP nnin.

Or, rather, exclaimed Byron, 'because it becomes all the less by paring.' _ Pleasure, like quicksilver, is bright and shy. If we strive to grasp it, it still eludes us, and still glitters. We perhaps seize it at last and find it rank poison. Never neglect your fireplaces. Much of the cheerfulness of lifev depends upon them. What makes a fire so pleasant is, that it is a live thing in a dead room. Make good use of time, if thou lovest eternity j yesterday cannot be recalled?tomorrow cannot bo secured?to-day only is thine, which, once lost, is lost for ever. / -Hold your tongue for a fool!' was the polite recommendation of an Irish husband. 'Sure, then, you're going to speak yourself!' was the equally polite reply of the wife. Misery makes strange fellows?A handsome young fellow in this city recently married a rich old lady of seventy. Ho was miserable for the want of money, and she for the want of a husband. An old Scotch parson, praying after a fiowcrv voun? brother had Dreached said : -* -j j o r 'Lord bless tby young servant; and with thy great wisdom prick him with thy Spirit; and let the wind out of hira.' Mr. Merryman Lathrop ^ys, when he went on the steamer to California, they kept the chickens in the hcitchmiy, the beef in the bull works, near the steerage; and when they run out of eggs, the ship lay too. The Bishop of Reiz thanked the bishop of Lisieux for having consecrated him. 'It is for me,' said the latter, 'to thank you. I were the ugliest bishop in France until you were elected.' In 1832 the wages of Factory girls were 12 cts. a week, and calico was SI,00 per yard; now calico is from 8 to 10 cents per yard, and the wages of factory girls, six dollars per week. The highest and most characteristic! glory of all earthly beauty is to make us! aspire to a heavenly one; and a woman is great in proportion to the ideal she suggests. Most of persons are particularly spiteful igainst those foibles in others which they themselves have. They remind us of a monkey scratching and grinning at the mimic monkey in the glass. A book, formerly a thing put aside to be read, is now read to be put aside ; and the world is now divided into two classes? those who forget to read and those who read tn fr\i"r?of The influence of woman, either for] good or evil, on the heart and mind of man j is omnipotent. Vain are the struggles to j resist it. In misfortune it tempers the energies, in prosperity it adds a grace to them. An exchange thus pathetically describes the fainting of a young lady : Down fell the lovely maiden, Just like a slaughtered lamb; Her hair hung round her pallid cheeks Like sea weeds rounds a calm !' Aunt E was trying to persuade! little Eddy to retire at sun-down. JYoui see my dear, how the little chickens go to roost at that time.' ?Yos, aunty,' replied Eddy, lbut the old hen always goes with them.' Aunty tried no more arguments with him. A man should neither be a hermit nor a buffoon ; humau nature is not so miserable, as that we should be always melancholy ) nor so happy, as that we should be always merry. In a word, a man should not live as if there was no God in the world; nor, at the same time, as if there were no men in it. A Chinese merchant in San Francisco tersely gave an American friend his ideas on the Japanese Embassy's receptiou in this country, as follows: 'Japanese great meu cow?Americans want more Treaty? by'n'by Treaty be signed, Japanese like anbody?like Chinese?just like dem nig-! ger.' The New York Observer says: A: young lady ran a rusty nail into her foot ! recently. The injury produced lockjaw of j of such a malignant character that her physician pronounced her recovery hopeless. An old nurse then took her in hand, and applied pounded beet roots to heri toot, removing tbeui as otten as they became dry. The result was a most astonisbiug and complete cure. Such a simple remedy should be borne in mind. People say that they shell peas, wheD they MH-shell them; that they husJc corn, when they wn-husk it; that they dust the furniture, when they ?t?-dustit, or take the dust from it; that they skin a calf, when they u/t skin it; and that they scale fishes, when they ??-scnle them. I have heared many men say that they were going to weed their gardens, when I thought their gardens i weedy enough already.
