A Slavic Sells bis Own Master.
Matthew Hobson, (generally called
“ Black Matt/' on account of the darkness
of his complexion,) was well known by
the inhabitants of the seaboard of Virgi
nia, some years ago, as a slave dealer, and
an accomplished “ breaker in" of bad flesh.
He once purchashed a bright mulatto by
the name of Sam, at a very low price, on
account of his numerous bad qualities,
such as thieving, lying and drunkenness.
Sam was intelligent with all his, faults—
could read and write, and ape the airs of
a most polished gentleman. He was so
far removed, too, from the pure African,
he co.uld scarcely be distinguished from
a white man. On his becoming the pro
perty of the slave dealer, he received sev
eral severe admonitions, in order that he
might have a foretaste of the temper of
his master. Secretly he vowed vengeance
for these striking proofs of Matt’s affec
tion, and in a short time an opportunity
offered to gratify that vengeance.
Matt made up his gang, and shipped
them at Norfolk. The barque arrived
Safety at New Orleans, and was brought
to the wharf. In order that Sam might
bring a good price, he was togged off in
fine clothes—calf-skia boots, a .silk hat,
and kid gloves. Matt thought by this ex
ternal show to realize at least $1,500 for
the mulatto, as the body servant of some
rich planter..', Sam was consequently al
lowed to go on shore in order to show
himself off.' He proceeded to the Alham
bra and there, strutted about among the |
best of them. Hearing, a portly gentle
man remark that he wished to purchase a
good body servant, he Went up to him
and with an independent swagger, said:
“ My dear sir, I have got just the boy
that will suit you." ' . *
“ HaJ" rejoined the planter, “I am
glad to hear you say so, for I have been
looking for one for several days. Whai
do you ask for him ?”

“ Nine hundred replied Sam,
“ and cheap enough at that. He has eve
ry quality, he can shave, dress hair, brush
boot, and is, besides, polished in bis man
ners! I could have got' fifteen hundred
dollars for him, but for one fault.”
“ Ha!” ejaculated the planter, “ and
pray what kind Of fault is that ?”
“ Why, sir, a ridiculous one. He im
agines himself a white man.”
u A white man !” exclaimed the plan
ter, laughing; “ that’s a fanny conceit in
deed; but! can soon cure him of that—
I've bad considerable experience in train,
ing and managing gentlemen of color.”
Oh ! sir,” cohfcuiued Sam, “there is
hut little donot that he oan be cared
though you may find ;soine trouble at
first"
“ Well, sir, you appear to be a gentle
man/’ said the planter, who was rather too
anxious and confiding. “ I will take him
on your recommendation. Where is be
now ?” '
On board the banjue——yonder at
the wharf; yon can see 'him at any mo
meat" /•
“Good!” exclaimed the planter; “ I
am muoh. pleaaed witb, your honestyand
candor, and in order to save time—-here
are your nine bnndred doUais—-pleaso
give me a bill of sale./ \
Sana got the clerk to draw up a bill of
sale, signed the name of Samuel Hopkins,
pocketed the money, and told the planter
to ask the captain for Black Matt; he
Wbnld himself be on board as*soon as he
closed a bargain with another gentleman,
who was desirous of purchasing one of his
field hands.
The pursy planter made his way to the
barque, and demanded of the captain to

Though that is almost Heaven,
But where I first my Saviour found,
And felt my sins forgiven.
Hud wm my toil to reach the ehore;
U°ng touted upon the ocean;
Above me was the thunder's roar,
Beneath the wave’s commotion.
Darkly the pall of night was thrown
Around me, feint with terror.
In that dark hoar how did my groans
Ascend for years of error.
I
Sinking and panting, as for breath,
1 knew not help was nigh me,
And cried, “0, save me, Lord, from death!"
Immortal Jetua save me.
Theni quick as thought, I felt,him mine;
My Savlonr stood before me;
I saw his brightness round me shine,
Andshouted, “Glory! glory!”
01 sacred hour I 0! hallowed spot I
Where love divine first found me—
Wherever foils my distant lot,
Uy heart shall linger round thee,
And os from earth I rise tp soar
Up to my home in Heaven,
Down will ! cast my eyes once more,
Where I was first forgiven.

How to Pbospkh in Business.—ln
first place, makeup your mind, to accom
plish whatever you undertake; decide up
on some particular employment . jpersevere
in it. All difficulties arc overcome by dil
igence and assiduity. ■ ' |
Be not afraid to work with your own
hands, and diligently, too. «A cat in
gloves catches no mice.” '
“ He who remains in the mill, grinds:
not he who goes and comes. -I
Attend to your business, and pever trust
it to another. “ A pot that belongs to
many, is ill stirred and worse boiled.”
Be frugal. “ That will not make a pot
will make a,pot-lid.” “Save the dimes,
and the dollars will take care of them
selves." '
Be abstemious. “ Who dainties love
shall beggars prove.”
Rise early.: u The sleeping fot catches
no poultry." “ Plow deep while sluggards
sleep, and you will have corn to sell and
keep.”
Treat every one with respect and civil
ity. Everything is gained, and nothing
losti by courtesy. Good manners insure
success.
Never anticipate wealth from Spy other
source than laborj especially, nefer place
dependence upon being the possessor of an
inheritance. “He who waits for dead
men’s shoes may have to go foreter hare
foot." “He who runs after a shadow has
a wearisome race.” 5 n: >'

rat look in the grizzly muzzle of a Scotch
tetmer ihr mercy, when about to be caught

pression of human kindness and sympathy
in the face of a hirsute man.
We Can appreciate the value of a smile.
It lightens up the countenance with ador
ning sweetness, indicates a kind heart, and
radiates gladness to the hearts of others,
encourages thedeaponding, soothes the af
flicted, cheers the sorrowing, wrath
and kinoes up genial sympathy and, recip
rocal regard. But a smile cannot drop
out from the face of a man “ bearded and
moustached like the pard.’.' You suppose
from the agitation of tall grass, that some
animal was crawling through it. So you *
may infer from the whisker of hair that a
smile waa l burrowing along there some
where out of sight. The smile of such «
man cannot be distinguished from the'
grin of a ribbed nose baboon, which had
burnt its mouth with a hot ohbsnut.
The lips are capable of indicating a va-
of passions and emotions. They can
express kindness, good-humor, sweetness
or disposition, Sorrow, firmness and deoi
sioii of character, or they manifest and
decision of character, or they manifest
scorn, contempt, disdain, loathing, user,
■and threatened like loaded revolvers.—*

The passion and affection have their
polls in the face, firmness in the upper
lip, mirthfulness near the corners oi the
mouth, and the affections in the edges'of
