THE COLORED MAN AS A BANKER. ‘ It B©etns that he ran short of fund* and *©t bia #iU to work to replenish his pttrso, and elrspga to say, for a peniless mm, lie proposed to start a bank. He started out among his country friends to ‘ take up” the batk and get them to take stock, saying: ’Do you know why the white folks con always get money when they want it and we colored people can’t?” “No we dou’t know ?” “Wei! I has Lund it all ofltsince I been living in tnwii ” Well how is it Uncle Jim ?” “It’s ju-t ’cause the white folks have banks. When they need any money, tiny just checks >a the banks and gets it. We colored people always will bo poor and hard run for money (ill we h tvo banks like the white folks’ In this manner he soon talked up a bank fever anu ng the negros. When ihey naked: But bow are wo to wau ge it ? We don’t know how (o ’tend to these things like the white folks,” lie replied: “I has done learned ull about it sinco I been living in town You 6oe, you just has to lake stock ’cording as you is able Some put in live dollars, somo four, somo three, some two, and so oil. I’ll manage the bunk, and in four or fivo months after the bank gels a good start you cm br gfiu to check on it, when you ueeJ money." He soon made up seventy or eighty dollars among his friends, who were much elated at the idea of holding Block in a knnk. Jim turned to Franklin aud lent out his banking luuds to tbe grocers for flour, bacon, sugar, coffee, whisky, and other luxurios of life—in fact, ho lived like a banker as long as the seventy dollars last'd. In the courso of time, some of the stockholders being “bard up” for funds, came into lown to check on tbe bank. Imagine their surprise when Jim vevy coolly said to them: “Tlio bank is done broke.” ‘Why, how is this? Didn’t you toll us you was gwino to manngo it just like tbe while folks, nud we would all have plenty of money ? Now you done ohe it us out of our money, and we’ve a groat mind to hcafe-you for it, you nigger you I” “Why you fool niggers don’t yon know the white folks’ buuk.’ sometimes breaks, and does yon ’sped me to be suirHer than the white folks? Wfirro io you boon all this time, that you ain’t beam lull of the Freedman s Bunk bu.-tui 1 up at Washington, and losin’ ull the colored people’s money; and the white folks was managing it, too.” WLatevol’ may he thought of tho na tive genius of tho negro, this shows lie is an npt sdholar iu imitating the ex ample of some of hia white friends.— Religious lkrald, Richmond, Va. llk Shouldn’t llavk Lied.— “ Are tl o. e Pennine sausages? asked he ol the butcher. “Ya,” said the butcher, “dey is genuine” “Made of dog and cat, and oil like that,” observed the man, “Ntinl nein I dey ish not I” indig nantly replied the butcher; ‘T ilirfkes no dogs’ and cats’ in ray sausages!” “Well than said tho man, walking off, “I don’t wnnt them; I’m after the gen nine artie'e.” The butcher was perplexed to lose the customer, and gazing wistfully after him, reproachfully muttered: “Ya, ya—it ish somedime better tif I toldt de truth!” HOW IT HAPPENED. She I'd him to o sofa, and in a deep boss voice called him her soul's idol, and inquired what his monthly income was. Seeiiifi his gaze fixt on her boa eonst-iiotor-l ke mouth, eho r marked: "Darling, I see you notice my largo and beautiful potato-trap; let me explain to you ihe reason of its unusual siz". When I was quite a child I was playing on papa’s cellar-door; it gave way; and 1 was precipitated down into the base ment, and caught by the mouth on a projecting mett hook, which ripped up my f >c* and extended tny mouth several inch's.” With his eyrs full of sym pathetic tears, he rose from the sots, and replied, as he made way toward the door, “my angel, you are perhaps mistaken. Probably in the excitement of that awful moment, you left your mouth down in tbe baceinent and ac cidentally brought up the cellar. We shall meet again in a better world” Adieu.” Ore fountain there is, whose deep vein has only jnst begun to throw up its silver drops among mankind—a fountain that will allay the thirst of millions, and will give to those who drink from it peace and joy.
