Yankee Courtship.
'Get out, you nasty puppy let ma alone,
or I'll tell your ma!' cried out Sally
to her, Jake .who sat about ten feet from
h er, pulling dirt from the chimney jam.
'I arn't touchin' on you, Sal,' responded
Jake.
'Well, perhaps you don't mean to, nu.tb.er
do vou?'
NoI don't.'
Cause you're too darned long-legged,
lanter-jved, slab-sided, pigeon-toed, lab
beiheaded, gangled-kneed owl. you you
ain't got a ta'ual bit o' sense; get along home
with you!
Now, Sal, I Iovo you, and you can't help
it;atd if you don't let me stay and court
you. my daddy will sueyou'rn for that cow
he sold hitn t'other day. By jingo, he said
he'd do u.
Well, look here, Jake if you want to
couit me, ycu'd better do it as a white man
does that thing not set off there, as if you
tho't I was pizen.
Ilow on airth is that, Sal?
Wny, slide right up here, onl hug and
kus nie.as if you really had some of the bone
and sinner of a man about you. Do you
's-poso a woman's only made to look at, you
stupi 1 fool, you? No, they're made for prac
tical resultj, as Kossuth says to hug and
kiss, and such like.
'Well,' said Jake, taking a long breath, 'if
T must, I must, for I love you, Sal;' and so
Jake commenced sliJiDg up to her, like a
maple poker going to bottle. Laying hia
aim gently on Sal's shoulder, we thought
we heard Sal say:
That's the way to do it old hoss '.hat's
acting like a white man orter.'
'Ou, Jerusalem and pancakes, exclaimed
Jake, 'il this arn't better tlian any apple
sass ever marm made, a darned sight.
C-r-a-c-k-e-e! buckwheat cakes, slap jacks
and 'lasses aint nowhere 'longsido o' you'
Sal! Oh, how I love you!' Here their lips
camo together, and the report that followed
was like drawing a horse's hoof out of tha
mire.
"It was not so at Home."
'Ah, massa! it was not co at home! when
my oilier baby died, old missus came and
laid her out herself, and I had a clean bad
to lay htr on, and Miss Emily put flowers
i:i her littls coflin.'
Sorrowful words are these, and from them
a lesson may b3 learned by all who are not
too much blinded by the modern sentimen
tality of lhe hour.
A poor uegress, beguiled by the syroo
song of Abolition philanthropy, has escaped,
with her two children, from her 'Old Vir
ginia Home,' and is the recipient of Govern
ment bcui'ty at Washington. 'In a wretched
cabin, the hot, stilling air in which, felt like
that of an oven, and the thin boards of
which were no protection cgainst tha burn
ing sir.!.' thia Neophyte of Greeley ism first
tasted the sweets of African freedom,
But sorrow is no respecter of persons.
Disease strikes down her two babes 'one five
and the o! In r se' sii, 'and who comes towatch
and wres-tlu along with the mother now?
Who visits the cabin at lone hours of night
and relieves tho sorrowful mother of her
wearisome vigils? N.Jt the strange white
p.'op!i not those who told me 'Hoe to tha
North and cast off the accursed chains of
slavery for.-vei!" Ah, no!
Alas, during the night one child is taken,
and at break of day the oilier follows, wbilo
the m (tuer is left alone in her sorrow, with,
noiivs to a,d, with uone to comfort. True,
she is fece, hut -is the hunter of items for the
evening paper drops in, she kneels over the
li eless hums of her tw babes, lying ia a
bundle ol rags in her miserable hovel, and
piteoiisly exclaim?: "Ii was not so at home!'
Old midsu-,' clean bed,' 'Aliss Emily, and
the "il iver&' come bubbling up from the dear
nuMiiory ol the past. Bd t it is too lata now,
S so is free.; but 'it was not so at home!'

Negko Soldiers General Hunter's black

cost a great deal of nnney, and made a deal
of fuss. If lhe President would only give
