He was through a part of Virginia
in which he was unacquainted—du
rnig the mean time he stopped during
the night tit an Inn near the forks,, of
she road. The Inn-kcepor, was a
line old gentleman, and no doubt one
of the fir si families of the Old Domin
ion Knowing who his distinguished
guest was, he endeavored during the
evening to draw him into a conversa
tion, hut ailed in all bis efforts. But
in the morning when Mr. Randolph
was ready to start, he called for his
bill, which, on being presented, was
paid. The landlord, still anxious to
have smne conversation with him, he
began as follows:
>• Which way arc you travelling,
Mr. Randolph-?'’

vana. r Fuller, ol the N ,- w \ ork
Mirror, in one o! his letters Irom Ha
vana, says :
It is a well krown fact that nearly
all the merchants and shop-keepers ol
Havana are native Spaniards, and
they are not only contented, but faiiat. |
ically devoted to the Spanish Govern- j
ment. A large proportion of this class
came to Cuba as adventurers, and be- 1
gan life as clerks, on small salaries.
After accumulating five hundred dol- |
la rs, they would purchase a share in a
joint stock slave trading company, and |
in the course of a year or two, receive
a prolit in the shape of a dividend
amounting to ten thousand dollars, j
which sum re-invested in the same
business,soon made them millionaires.
These nabobs then generally return to
Spain to spend their ill-gotten fortunes, i
leaving a crop of clerks to follow in
the footsteps of their inhuman prede-j
cessors. It is, perhaps, not generally :
known that some of our New York j
“ merchant princes,” whose sudden
wealth has been attributed to the su
gar business, have derived their largest
revenues from capital slyly invested
in the slave trade. Persons who are
curious in such matters may learn fur
ther particulars by making inquiries
in Havana.
Meekness —We heard of a poor hoy,
about eighteen, who fell in love with a<
* strongmindecT widow aged thirty
five. He was in a bad way, didn’t
understand ‘ widders’ but * hung
around* so much as to attract the no
tice and contempt of his idol. Getting
desperate and hearing the widow was
sick, he mustered his courage, went
down to the house and offered to
1 watch with her.’ er eyes flashed,
she jumped up, looked at him, and said
with awful distinctness—
‘ Jem. tell your mother if she don’t
keep you to home I’ll hurt you!’
Jem arose, went to her ‘ dogaratype’
which hung over the mantlepfece,
kissed it. dropped two tears on the
cat’s back, made up an awful face—
and left. Hasn’t been there since.—

Jupiter Ammon ! don’t Iwish I teas
a man, just to show the masculine how
to play their part in the world a little
better! In the first place, there ain’t
a mother’s son of you that has got as
far as A IJ C in the art of making love,
(and I have seen a few abortions in
that way myself, as well as the rest of
the sisters.) .What woman wants to
■ ■ be told that “her feet and eyes ate
pretty,” or “her form and smiles be
witching ?” Just as if she don't know
