Frederick Douglass was traveling with a friend of another color in a part of the country where public sentiment was bitterly hostile to the association of colors. They stoped at a tavern and dined together, at which spectacle the village, growling and grumbling about the stove in the bar-room, was immediately dis posed to mischief. The bar-room philosophers were sadly troubled for the honor of their color. " What right has a white man to be traveling with a nigger, anyhow? If he doesn't know what's decent, we'll teach him." The crowd was, indeed, very anxious to give the offender a few summary lessons iu decency. They were like uelists, who have a ludicrous conceit that they know what honor is. D mglass slipped out quietly, and, returning after a little while, he remarked to his companion, in a good humored way, that he had just seen a very singular sight in the stable ; and the crowd turned to hear what it was. "You'll hardly believe it," said Douglass, addressing his companion as if there was no one else iu the room, " but I gave my white mare and your bay horse four qnarts of oats each, and there they are, eating side by side as quietly and contented ly as if they were of the same color ! 'Tis most extraordinary." He did not laugh nor wink, but made his remark with a simple sincerity that was irresistible. There was a moment of .silence. Then came the echo. Human wit had spoken, and a human heart answered. " What cussed fools we are !" said one of the crowd, sen tentiously; andaloud laugh followed, which scattered like a burst of sun light the gathering cloud of mischie vous inteution. A little tact had been an hundredfold more effectual in melting a prejudice than a series of solemn lectures. Editor's Eay Chair in Harper's Magazine for April. o Grit. It was midnight. The young man had farewelled himself out, and Ein eline had locked the door and was untying lier shoes when her mother came down stairs with a bed-qullt around her and said: "Wauted to creep up stairs with out my hearing you, eh? Didn't think I knew it was an Hour alter midnight, did you V" Tho girl had no reply, and the mother continued: "Did ho propose this time?" "Why mothei!" exclaimed the danghter. "You can 'who mother' all you want to, but don't I know that he has been eoming here for the last year? Don't I know that you have burned up at least four tons of coal courting around here? The girl got her shoes off, and the mother stood in the stair door and asked : "Emeline, have you got any grit?" "I guess so." "I guess you haven't. I just wish that a fellar with false teeth and a molo on his chin would come spark ing me. Do you know what would happen, Emeline?" "No." "Well, I'll tell yon. He'd come to time in sixty days or he'd get out of this mansion like a goat jumping over sunflower seeds." Timeline went to bed to reflect over it. Detroit Free Press. Understands Woman's Natuke. At the lower end of Woodward ave nue yesterday, an old apple woman ofl'ered her fruit to a vessel captain who was signing over the good times of 1S-A. She wanted three cents apiece for her apples.
