" Base iNcntATiTiJDE.-r-Sanrael Henry, lately a colored resident of Salisbury, Md., is an ungrateful reprobate, and does by no/means appreciate the goods which the gods provide. For, when Mrs Sam Henry lately presented to him—not twins, nor triplets—but, as we may say, quadrants—four smiling sable pledges, only to be described by that noun of multitude, cherubim—did Sam Henry show any gratitude for this distinguished boon ? None to speak of, we mourn to say. His only remark was, "I ain't gwine to live in dis heah Salisbury no longer."—N.Y. Tribune.

"What in the world are you doing here, Austin?" "I am doing equal justice to all mj clients."
