How wo arc Nlaii'lcrcft AbroaO.
The following anecdote is going the
rounds of tho press. We do not vouch for
its truth: *
OomMtAY Find the Verdict.—At a re
cent sreSioft of one of tho courts of South
Carolina, an entire negro jury wns empan-
nelcd. A case was hroWght before them,
the witnesses examined, and the nttoflleyt*
made their resprcllvu ariruments.
The judge, after laying down the law
and recKpitWlaliBg the tostimy, gave the
papers into the hands of the foreman, a
ratlier intelligent looking darkey, with In-
structionR pa soon as they Ihttttu a vetdiet
to bring Vt ill Without fail.
Thirty minutea or morn elapsed, when
the jury returned, headed by the foreman,
and* stood before the judge.
As the foreman appeared to hesitate,
the judgo enquired:
“Afr. Foreman, have you found a ver-
dlct?”
“Ko, Massa Judge, wo haben’t found
’em no how,” replied tltc ehrtllV juryiAan.
*Tt’« a very plain ense,” said the judge.
“Can’t help It, mnssn, eouldA’t see it,”
replied ebony again.
“Oti what grounds?” enquired the judge.
“We didn’t look into tho grounds, Mas-
sa Judge,” replied the foreman, “do ossi-
fer he did take us into ft room and locked
us in, nnd told us when we found do ver
dict ho would loll* us out. So wo pognn to
And do verdict, and search ebery nook,
corner, crevis, and in eltry ting (Tore was
in dnt romp, hut we found no verdies—no
nuffin ob do kinc dhr.”
Not for Joe.
A young man living down town, with
out the fear of his sweetheart's parents be
fore his cyes^ulertook to “hook” the ob
ject of his adoration from a second story
window in her father’s house, on Friday
night Inst. The old man hearing the
“mss,” went out in his night clothes, look
ing like the ghost of Hamlet, nnd espied
Joe going up the ladder. The old ntau
caught hold of the foot of tho ladder and
let something drop. It wns Joe. Crab
bing him by the collar, he lifted him to his
ibetaud nearly shook bun out of his clothes,
after which he led him into the house and
lectured him as follows:
Look here, you cussed sneak, whenever
you go and learn a decent trade, nnd kin
make enough money to pay house rent an’
raise a family, yon’kin come here without
a ladder, walk hi the frontdoor nit* marry
my darter, an’ not till then. D’ye hear?”
And the ferocious old man led Joe out of
the house, and told him to “git.” The
young lady has signified her willingness to
wait for .Toe. I piny of the proprietors of
our manufactories are colled upon to-day
or to-morrow by a young man who wants
to learn a trade, take him in—that's Joe.

“Wlmt will you take to drink?” asked
a waiter of a young lad who for the first
time accompanied Tils father to ft public
dinner. Uncertain wlmt to say, and feel
ing sure that he could not be wrong if he
followed Ids father’s example, he replied,
“I’ll take what father takes.**
The answer reached his father's c'rtf, ftnd
instantly the tell responsibility of his po
sition Hashed upon him. If he said, “l’H
take ftle,” as he had always said before, his
son would take it also, aud then? And
the father shuddered ns the history of sev
eral young men, once as promising as his
own Wight lad, aud ruined hy.drink, start*
ed up in solemn warning before him.—
Should his hopes also be masted, and that
open-faced lad beeomo a burden? But for
strong drinks they would have been active,
earnest, prosperous men; and If it could
work such rum upon them, was his own
lad safe? Quicker than lightning these
thoughts passed through his mind, and in
a moment the decision was made. “If
the hoy falls he will not have me to blame,”
nnd then hi tones tremulous with em’dtmri,
and to the astonishment of those who
knew him, he said, “Waiter, I’ll take wa
ter;” and from that day to this strong
drink has been banished from that man’s
tabic nnd from that man's home.

God made them. A lover could then tell
whether his love weighed one hundred and
eighty or seventy-live pounds; could tell
at a glance what she was. But now they
could not toll whether the girl wns made
by the divss-mnker or by God; they lookod
her over, nnd were not suro she was not
half cotton; touched her head, anddidu’t
know whether they felt nature’s hair or a

A Good One.
In an article upon the probable scarcity
, of ice during the next summer the Hart
ford Fast tellstho following story:
“A godfl mnH.y years ago, when tec In
slimmer was a rarity in cities add fth un
heard of thing in the country, a good dea
con of a rural church was charged with
haviug got decidedly fuddled one 4th of
July in Ncw Yorlc. lie was arraigned for
his misconduct. With tears In luS eyes he
confessed his fault, but plunded in pallia
tion that it was a prodigious hot day. and
ice in the punch ltd look so cool and invi
ting thnthe couldn’t resist the tchiptdlion,
and he supposed he did actually drink to
intoxication. A tew browed brother on a
back seat listened attentively but Incredu
lously to the defence, nnd nt Its cc
arose. “I lmin’t no objection,” said ho,
to a man’s getting drunk if he own up to
it and is sorry for it. That’s a thing a
man’s liable to, and p’raps, sometimes h'e
can’t help it; hut when tlio deacon comes
in here and undertakes to excuse himself
in any such way as that—talking about
seeing ice in July—I go lor jerkin’ him
outibr lyln.”
