THE EMI © [£ n ® T . “ Care to our coffin adds a nail no doubt, But every grin of laughter draws one out!” GEORGIA DEBATING SOCIETY. At a village debating club, the question had been argued in the affirmative, when the opposite side were called upon to open their batteries. The first speaker in the negative, rose and made a most masterly speech, in which he completely demolished the subtle arguments of his adversaries, and convinced the entire assemblage of the cor rectness of his own positions. lie was fol lowed by an eccentric genius, rather more famed for his dry humor than his eloquence. “ Mr. President,” said he, “ this minds me of a shootin match 1 went to once. It was a little \vays in the country, but ther was a great many young gentlemen thar from town, with ther little brite, silver moun ted rifles, all titivated off, till they shined like anew button. These rifles was monstrous slick affairs, with very small bullets and the leetlest kind o’ tetch holes. Well, every time they fired, they went, ‘pew!’ and the bark flew mightily, but the judges hollered out, * Nothing d-o-n-e !’ 4 Pew!’ goes/another. ‘Nothing d-o-n-e!’ says the judges. And thar it was—‘Pew!’ ‘Nothing d-o-n-e!’ fora long time, til bimeby an old hunter from the country stepped ifp with his old rusty yauger— ‘ bang-a-lang-lang,’ it went, with a thunderin rattlin ’bout the board. The judges run to the stump and looked awhile 4 The bull's eye’s o-u-t!’ says they. Well, ther want nothin left to shoot at, so the old yauger tuck the prize. Jest so it is now, with me. My ftiend here’s knocked the bull’s-eye out o’ the fine arguments of the other side, and haint lef: me nothin to speak at. So I’ll set down, Mr. President.” We need not odd that the decision was in favor of die negative. How to break ill Neu-s. —Mr. G.—Ha, Jarvis, how are you, my old hoy—how do things get on at home ? Steward—Bad enough, your honor. The magpie’s dead. Poor Mag ! So he’s gone. How came he to die ? Over-ate himself, sir. Did he, faith ? a greedy dog. Why, what did he eat that he liked so .w ell ? Horse flesh, sir. lie died of eating horse flesh. How came he to eat so much horse flesh? All your father’s horses, sir. What! are they dead too? Ay, sir; they died of over-work. And why were they over-worked, pray ? To carry vvatei, sir. To carry water ! atul vvliat were they car rying water for-? To put out tho fire, sir. The fire ! what fire 1 Oh, your father’s house is burned to the ground. My father’s house burned down ! how came it on fire ? I think, sir, it must haveltetyi the torches. Torches ! what torches ? At your mother’s funeral. My mother dead ! Ay, poor lady ; she never looked up after she heard of it. Heard of what ? Your father’s death. My father gone too ? Yes, poor gentleman : he took to his bed as soon as he heard of it. Heard of what ? The had news, please your honor. What! more miseries ? more had news ? “ Yes, sir, your hank has failed, and your credit is lost, and you are not worth one shilling in the world. I made hold, sir, to come and wait on you, to tell you about it ; for I thought you would like to hear the news. John Neal, the talented writer, and liber al contributer to the “Portland Tribune,” says—“A negro wishing to say that if the sun rises clear and goes into a fog immedi ately, it is a sign of rain,—did so in the fol lowing terms : ‘ Ben e son rise berry airly, and set afore he rise, sartin to have rain afore soon.’ ” This, he declares, is nothing to the prayer made by a negro belonging to the late Gov. Tompkins, who had been allowed by the Governor, in consideration of his fidelity and great piety, to have com pany atthanksgiving. “ The other negroes,” says he, “ having secured theirplaces at the table, some holding by the cloth, some by a chair, and not a few, ‘to make assurance doubly sure,’ by both—Cato fixed himself with his legs as far apart as he could stand without tumbling over, and locking his hands together, began thus— ‘ O Lord ! pray see good vitell on e table; more in e pot —good as any Massa Tomkin’s got —tunner in e heavens! trashee down dry hemiochee tree! trashee up afore Massa door ! save cuftee on de oven wood—under glorious sunshiny gospel—dis day to one day, world afore lat ter end, Godsake amen !’ YVe are glad to be the first to publish this evidence of the capabilitiesof that poor despised race, which joking apart, are not halt so stupid, nor a fiftieth part so mad as many of the whites who are now undertaking to lead them by the nose. We know what we say—the nose. No wonder they find it slippery work. Catching soaped eels would be no thing to it.” Hair-ecy. —De hair is divvided into five parts :—de red hair, de brack hair, de curly hair, and todder two parts is no consequence now. De red hair is for white fokes and disgust your ‘spected preacher bery mutch. De black hair is bery good for iniius, but dey can’t make it curl. Den de curly hair is ’portant and ’lude ’ticklarly to do poppy lation ob color. I spose you link you hub short hair; but when you come to traiten it out, you find dat you hah long hair niter all. Mind I tell you. Cut down your hair, nig grr. —Deacon Snowball. Reading prayers to the King. —The old King (Federich William) had a strong sense of religion, though he expressed it at times with a vehemence truly comic. Being too unwell to read the usual prayers himself, his daily practice, he desired his valet de cliam bre to read them to him. His attendant, thinking it disrespectful to thou n king, on coining to the words “ The Lord bless, you.” “ It is not so, read it again,” cried the exas perated king, at the same time throwing something at the reader’s head. The poor fellow could not conceive what blunder he had made, und again read, “ The Lord bless you.” The king was furious, and having nothing else at hand, he pulled off his night cap and flung it in the attendant’s face, cry ing out, “It is not so, I tell you ; read it again.” The frighted valet again gasped— “ The Lord bless you.” “Bless tliee , rogue,” roared the monarch, losing all patience and self-control—“ bless thee. Don’t you know, fellow, that in the sight of God, I am only a mi serai de rascal like yourself!”— Cu mpbell's Life of Fcderick the Cl/cut. Swieillerism. —The reporter of the Auro ra tells the following story of a quarrelsome man arid wife : Dick White and his wife led a deuce of a life; from their always a fighting, and scratching, and hiring, and kicking up shindies, and breaking the win dies; and getting their fill,of hauls off to the mill. Ami last night Dicky White, and his lady so bright, got blue, and of course, had a beautiful fight; for with fists and with feet, and with broom-sticks so neat, each other almost into mummies they heat. But ere they were kilt, or much blood had been spilt, apprised by the din, a watch-man came in, and soon to that battle so grim put a stop, by marching the combattantsoff to the shop. But this morning Dicky White, and his rib were all right, for they kissed and made up in the magistrate’s sight, and vowed that to gether no longer they’d fight. And there fore the court gave them orders to trot. So Dick and his r ib toddled oil'like a shot. JVhohas the most Money? —A swell clerk from Pearl street, who was spending an evening in a country tavern, cast about him for some amusement. Feeling secure in the possession of the most money, he made the following offer: “ I will drop money into a hat, with any man in the.room. The one who holds out longest shall take the whole and treat the company. “ I’ll do it,” said an old farmer. The cockney dropped in a quarter —the country man followed with a “ Bungtown” copper. “ Cl o on,” said the cockney. “ I won’t,” said the farmer, “ take the whole and treat the company.” Tee-total Test. —The young ladies in Ver mont, it is said, still continue to kiss the lips of young temperance men to see whether they have been tampering with toddy. In the reign of Henry VIII. of England, it was enacted that in order to prevent the extension of “ poysonage,” persons guiliy of the offence, should he “boiled to death.” Conditional Verdict. —“ Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed ? wlial is your ver dict ?” “We find the prisoner not guilty, //"lie'll leave the town !” “ Come down from that building, you ras cal, and I'll knock your eyes out.” “ You will, will you ?” “ Yes, you scoundrel, I will.” “ Then, I guess, upon the whole—l shan’t come down.” imxiiww; j.k'l-.'..'. j . njm-1 u i jii^mami API® TDSIMEIKim MADISON Male and Female Academies. rpHE Trustees of these Institutions have the pleasure A to announce to the community that both Schools will open on the second Monday in January next, un der the most favorab'c auspices.
