I ) who yearned for pOO pistol cards printed, the printer to furnish the cards and stamp the same. And lo, end behold, when the printer saith that the expense thereof would be 9 7-8shekels($6. 50) h-s marveled. And he said unto the printer behold I can get them for 0 5-8 shekles ($4,75) and he went his way. Then it came to pass that the wayfaring’ quack doctor and sooth payer cometh junto the printer with ^i vers jobs wrought in many colors, even like unto the rain bow. And perad venture, he did beguile the printer to print by giving cash offerings in gold and in ^silver and in paper and likewise nick-1 and copper, for the first job. And as he brought forth h’s to behol<1 “ stuft - ed like unto the whale that did Jo nah swallow. And ye pr ater smiled with ex¬ ceeding great joy. Now the soothsayer beheld the gladness of heart of ye printer and he waxed glad and he communed with him self and said I will strike him again. And moreover he struck. But when he got second, third, yea, and even the fourth job, he payeth not but skipeth like unto ye flea or hopper-grass. And ns man knoweth unto this day whereof he alighteth. Now there was a certain wise man by the tame of William, whose surname was McCullagh. And the printer sought him out and they communed one with the other. And MCcullagh spake unto the printer albeit that he has fled into the land of boodlers which is many leagues north of Harlem or maybe he is lost in Brooklin. And trie printer waxed wroth and murmured evil saying. Mut¬ tering the while “Lost in Brook¬ lin; lost to the world,” and dire confusion prevailed in all the land. —Selah. CONYERS LEADS AS USUAL.

In coffins, caskets, funeral I robes, and all kinds of undertakers [ goods, they are headipiarters while- j they sell at prices that are not op- j pressive to anyone.

They do rpairing, roofing, engine work, plumbing, etc., in fact it is to-day one of the most useful and liberal houses to be found anywhere. STOP IT. We understand that upon more than one occasion warrants have! r i a,ui battery, highway robbery etc : and that m some cases settlements ; have been made by the payment | of the costs and so much money to j the prosecutor b. Jn one case, ate informed, a prominent negro forced two other negros to pay; him $5 each—charging them with attempting to rob him. The real facts are that they were playing with him, but he saw that lie could make them pay aud he did so. If they were not jesting with him, then his conduct in settling the matter by receiving money for it only makes it the worse and B hows that he is willing to let such ,, a s S pruvUV-d he can get a few dollars out of it. Ii th of the law, he and ail wh wer with him, in settling UCll c g are in a worse fix than th ose V.'IlO are charged with th crime of at temped robbery.
