A. pin and a needle being neighbors in a work basket, and both being idle began to quarrel, as idle folks are apt to do. "I should like to know," said the pin, "what you are good for, and how you expect to get through the world without a head?" "What is the use of your head," rcJdied the needle, rather sharply, "if you uive no eyes ?" "What is the use of an eve,' said the pin, "if there is always something in it r "I am always active, and can go throught more work than you can," said the needle. "Yes, but you will not li e long ?" "Why not i" ""Becauseyou have always a stitch in your side," said the pin. "You're a |?oor crooked creature," said the needle. "And you are so proud that }*ou cau't bend without breaking vour1 back." "I'll pull j'our head olY if 3*011 insult mc again." "I'll put out your eye if you touch me; remember 3*our life hangs on a single thread," said the pin. While the3* were thus conversing, a | little girl entered, and, undertaking to j sew, she very soon broke of the needle ! at the eye. Then she tied the thread around the neck of the pin, and at j tempting to sew with it, t>he pulled it* ! head oti, and threw it into the dirt by the side of the broken needle. "Well, here we are,', said the needle. "We have nothing to fight about now," said trie pin. "It seems misfortune has brought us to our sensee." "A pity we bad not come to tliem sooner," said the needle. . "How much we resemble human beings, who quarrel about their blessings till they lose them, and never find out that they are brothers til they lie down in the dust together, as we do." Count Them.

Count mercies beforo you comolain of afflictions. i [Religiovs Telescope. \ ''Niggora" vs. White Folks. Dklta, the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati jLnquirer, writes i the following: Last Sunday the Rev. Mr. Beecher. after the sermon, brought up a good looking mulatto girl in his pulpit and made ft speech over her, in which ho got the women all crying, and so magnitized the men as to get Ids hand into their pockets. He told n pitiful story i about the girl being 6old into 'slavery" and her becoming the victim, of the tust of some Ilaley, and all snob horrible stories, and said ho most lulvc the casli on the spot. The men under the impulse of the moment, emptied, their purses on the contribution plates, and 'Sarah, was bought out of'slavery, i to have her virtue put to the test by beingfree to do as she pleases. But is it not a strange and indeed a pitiful sight to see a whole congregation of white people dissolved into tears over such stories. The women present, who were so mnch excited over the possible fato of this iculatto girl?an evidence herself of sin and beastliness of the lowest description?think, nothing of the positive fate of t wentv thousand of their own sisters?their flesh and blood ?who, within the sound of tho hell of Plymouth Church are every ten j^ears going dow to graves of sin* pollution and rottenness. When in the name of Heaven, will the interests of the white ( race again becoming as important as those of the black? A white person , has to exert himself tremendously now a days to be as good as a nigger.' Family Cakes An Excellent Sugar Giwjerhrtad.? !
