“ Hardly knew You.” —A mni

had not been to church for several
years ; but, on the accession of a small
property, she bought herself anew
bonnet, shawl and. dress, with the ap
propriate gloves, boots, Ac., and ap
peared on the following Sabbath in a
style which almost destroyed her iden
tity with the hitherto shabby , and
hoopless old maids..
Just’ as she was walking up the
aisles, aud every eye seemed to be
turned upon her, the choir commenced
singing an anthem, the burden of
which was “ Hallelujah ! Hallelujah'. ’
The indignant spinster retraced her
steps down tbo aisle in high dudgeon,
exclaiming,

Gov. W. Q. Brownlow, of Tennes
see, takes this view of the future of
the negro, in a late letter to his
Knoxville Whig, upon the presump
tion, we suppose, that they are to re
main among the whites:
: The negroes, like the Indian tribes,
will gradually become extinct, having
no owners to care for them, and not
owning property in them, they will
cease to increase in numbers—cease
to be looked after and cultivated— ~
while educated labor will take the
place of slaue labor. Idleness, starva*
tion and disease, will remove a major
ity of the negroes in this generation.
The better class of them will goto
work and sustain themselves.
