.1 Time io Duite. Calling; at the house of an old friend, a few 4vs since, we fell into conversa tion with his Httle daughter, when the fbllowHhg dialogue, “for substance of doctrine,” took place : “ Have you any little girll “ Yes, one nine years old.” “ Does she dance 1” “ Yes, certainly. From my window 1 see her dancing every day, up and down the yard, and out into the street.” “ Does she take the steps!’ “ I guess you would think so, if you saw her. She steps up and down, and around and across. All sorts of steps — more in an hour than you can count.” “ Does she have a teacher ?” “ O, yes, her mother teaches her, in this way ; she gives her a lesson on some sewing, and when her task is finished, the little girl feels all over, as if it were “a time to dance,” and so, putting on her sack and boots, she sallies forth. There is a flock of kind and happy children at the next door, and they come out and join her, and the dance begins. It’s a beautiful sight !” “ W hat do they dance 1” “ Country dances, i. e., dances made in the country. Now and then, Cato, the dog, fromuverthc way, springs in among them, and proposes a polka. Dogs al ways like polkas. They are not toblame, for God has made them so.’ ” “ Do they have any music l” “ Certainly they do, and the best I eves beard. It comes right up from their glad hearts. In cold weather, they fur nish it all. But in a few weeks, when the maple is casting its blossoms, and the green grass is corning up out ofthe ground, and the sooth wind is waking the earth from its long sleep, their orchestra will be greatly enlarged. They will be join ed by the Oriole, with his silver trum pet, and the Thrush, and the Robin, and the Blue-bird, who making their nests in the elms above, will pour down their music upon the performers below. With such music, and a ball room so beauti ful, what little girl could keep from dancing 1 Oughtn’t we to pity poor chil dren who have, to dance in the cellars and alleys of the town, and those —big and little—who are crowded into great hot and dusty rooms, without any grass, and flowers, and trees, and who are ob liged to hop round at the music of fiddles and horns, instead of the sweet melody of birds.’’ “ Does it snake your little girl sick to dance 1” “ Not by a great deal ! When, just at evening, she goes to the dance for an hour, she returns with a face flushed with health, she is hungry for her supper, and when she lies down for the night, she fulls quickly asleep, to dream of music and dancing, and all is beautiful in sight or sound.” “ And so we came to the conclusion, in the face of all narrow-minded people, that there is a place, and away, as well ‘ as “a time to dance.” Whitley’s Joe Many years ago, us oiir old friend Dr. S. tells the story, there lived somewhere in North Carolina a negro, known as Whitley’s Joe, whose character was so excellent, and whose gifts were so highly prized by hi? Christian brethren, that the church, of which tic is a member, purchased his time that he might be at liberty to exercise his calling us a preacher. So acceptable were his ministra tion*, that whites as well as blacks would aisetnWd in Urge numbers to hear him at bis regular appointments. It might beauppo&ed that tne attainment of so much celebrity would havespoiled Joe, but he never, m his intercourse with the brethren, presumed up on the consideration with which they treat ed him, always observing a modest und re tiring demean jr. On one occasion be was to preach with a brother Manping oqe of the regular pertor ipers “#n a Jiprp qy p thousand strings,” and pit alike at that, and echoing the same unva ried twpugj from which if tp*y bo observed, Joe's stylo of performance fey no meuns free. On the principle of Haying the hast for the laa t brother M. was to lead 40 d hrpthei Joe to conclude, lor the letters tplunm genre nousid.e.ra.hly the more respectable qf tRc ‘two. Brother fanning began ; on what teyt, Uj and was, immaterial, tor he speedily fell into tps accustomed strain of bewailing his own mi worthiness. • Ah, my breethering,” said he, “perhaps you think me a good man-er, but I know better. I am the meanest man that God ever made-er. Yes, breethering, I repeat it-er ; I say tliut I, Henry Manning, am the meanest man that God ever made-er. Yes, breethering; you may sarch between the leds o’ your Bible from Geuesis to Revela tions, and you can’t find such a mean man as me any whar iu the whole volume. Ja cob told a he to his old falher-er, but he wasn’t nigh on so mean as I am-ur. David committer some great sins, but we can't call David u mean man-er. Paul said he was the chief of sinners*er; But I, Henry Man ning, didn’t live in bis days, or he wouldn't a’ darr'd to a’ said any such a thmg-er. Yes, br**ther-iug, I repeat it-er; I, Henry Man Bing, am the meanest man that God ever made-er.” And so on to the end. Alter the conclusion of this discourse, Joe arose, and, with becoming modesty com menced : ‘•jproderin’, you’.fe jew been lis’nin’ to. de word o’ G.id from brothlM* Henry Manning, the meanest man dat God ever made-er ; an now yon’s gwiue to hear it from Whitley’s ‘a aUnos* a* w*aß.-**JVai>w AW A Tbt Violet CUrl. A little girl wliom people may have observed selling violet* around the New York Hotel, off 1 cred a bunch the other day to a gentleman and lady who were staying at that establishment, as they were returning from a walk. ‘Please buy ray violets, sir,’ said the little one, holding up a purple bunch that still seemed to have the dew upon It.—‘Please buy my violets —only a sixpence a bunch.’ ‘No; go away child,’ said the lady rather harshly; ‘X don’t want them.’ ‘My dear,’ remark* <1 the gentleman, mildly, ‘you have spoken rather harshly, to the poor child; see, her eyes are filled with tears.’ The lady looked round. The little violet girl, whose eyes were as dark as tlio flowers she sold, was weeping silently. In an instant Mrs. Y’s warm aouthem nature gushed out, and turning back, she clasped the poor little child in her anus and endoavord to assuage her grief. ‘How very, very like our poor Alfred this child is,’ said Mrs. Y., looking attentively in the face of the poor violet girl.—Alfred was their only son. who had come on to New York some live or six years before, where he died of dissi pation. Mr. Y., attracted by his wife’s exclamation, examinod the little girl attentively. ‘There is a strong likeness.’ he replied. They questioned her. She had little to tell. Her Her mother and father were both dead. What was her name? Site was not certain, but her father’s name was Y . It was enough. The old lady and gentleman took the child be tween them in a carriage, and straightway drove to the house of her grandmother, with whom she said i-iio hud lived. There they discovered that their sou had absolutely been married, some time before his death, to a pretty sewing girl, who did not king survive him, and who died, leaving behind her this one child. This little creature, ragged and uneducated, was more welcome to them than a fortune. She was in stantly washed and dressed, and teachers had for her. Her fortunes changed as the season chan ged. It hud been winter with her for a long time, and it was now May. Bets ox the Comet. —We ought to hnV” published long ago the propositions of the Urbana (III.) Constitution concerning the esmet. They have been extensively quoted and credited to a paper which stole them from the Constitution, and, late as it is we’ll do what we can to set the matter right.— Zimmerman, after observing “ the critter - ’ carefully with the instruments of the Urba na Brass Band, comes to the conclusion— 1. The comet will not strike the earth; but-- 2. If it does strike, it will never do it a second time. In case, however, any gentleman holds opinions different from the above, ami is willing to back his views to a limited ex tent, iu order to arrive at the truth in this momentous matter, we hereby make the following PROPOSITIONS j Ist. We will wager $20,000, more or lee* that if the comet offers to strike, we will dodge before it does it; it) other words that it can’t be brought to the scratch. 2. A like sum that if it does strike, it will be knocked higher nor n kite. 3. Twenty-five times th. above amounts that it) case the Comet strikes it won’t budge the earth six indies by actual meas urement. 4. A like amount that after the comet strikes its tail drop. 5. An optional sum that the earth can knock the comet further than the comet can knock the earth, nine times out of eleven. 6. That aft nr the comet gets through striking the earth, it will uever want, to strike anybody else. These propositions are intended t; cover the case of any gentleman on this globe, or on the comet, or elsewhere. All wagers to be decided by the Judges of the Supreme Court. Money to be deposited in the Banks of Newfoundland. Time of striking and other arraagements to be fixed by the parties.

Dosi't Worry. —This in the first thing at, j editor should get by heart. If Mr. Slocum threatens to withdraw his patronage because ! you criticised Prof. Drawl’s lecture on the j onion question—don’t worry, but tell him to j go ahead and do it. II Mr, Bullion writes you an iusulting let ter, saying that if you don’t stop writing about the Diddleton Railroad, he will ruin you with a lawsuit—don’t worry, but dare him to try it on. If Mr. Smith threatens to “cave your head in,” because you mention that “ his son Bob” whs sent to the Tombs for pelting a street lamp with brickbats—don't worry, but tell him that you So love the law, you dine on a salad made of red tape and sealing wax. Again we say, never worry.

Mull Derangement* —We have discovered the reason why the Daily” Citizen does not reach Starksville till the 2nd day niter publication. The packet, wo are informed, tor that office, is placed in the Americus pouch, and duly forwarded, but in consequence of tho dis tance from the Depot in Americus to the Post Office and the little time, (only half an hour) al lowed the Post Master there to open and re mnil the packages for Starksville, be ore the train passes on to Smithville, all packages for Starksville and other points above Albany have to wail a day in the AmericusP. 0. This is out rageous and should have a prompt retnody. The Post Master at Americus should have more lime allowed him to distributet!.e mails sent to his Offico, or the pacukagcs for Starkville should uot be sent in tho Americus pouch. The subscri bers at Starkville, would wo suppose, be as well if not better served, if their papers were allowed to go to Albany and thence bo returnedtby the mail of tlie same day. Hut there should be necessity for this, if the Post Office Department is intended ag a public convenience. Even a separate pouch for Statkville would not entail on our Post Office any greater burden than should cheerfully bo borne, to obviate any de rangements or delays, such as that we lmv; men tioned.

Not being able to resist the evidence of the Memphis Editor which we introduced, it seeks to dispar age tVtv force o the same, by a emi. that the Editor aforesaid might have been regaling on champagne, and was therefore nor. compos mentis at the time. Now we have no doubt at aliAbut’ there was some inspiration in the ease, but it was that derived from thesparkling eyes and rosy lips of peepless beauty.— Nor was he the only one who was thus rapt in e!y uni, by gazing on the in comparable loveliness of our women.— Another Memphis editor made a similar voluntary declaration to us, about the same time, so that we have scripture au thority for the truth of our statement— it being established by the mouths of “ two or three witnesses.” By the way. Venice tljat our neighbor of the Tele graph copies oy,’ para graph and gives credit for it to an Au gusta paper. This is too bad ! We must thus not be shorn of the honors we have fairly won, in this Editorial Tournament, in behalf of the Bibb Queens of beauty.
