In the village of Stockbridge, Mass lives black man by the name of Agrippa Hull, who served in Revolutionary war At the close oft he was hon. orably discharged, in testimony of which he shows a certificate signed b. General Washington. He was for some years tho servant of General KoscI- usko, of whose generous and humane character he speaks with love and admiration.

 Arrippa has an uncommonly fine head, and is remarkable for his excellent understanding and good character By his industry he has become possessed ot a valuable farm, which, at the age of 7G, he cultivates himself, He is eminent for his petv and those who have heard him speak at con- ference meeting, which Ee is in the habit of atten- ding with his white neighbors, say that in prayer he is distinguished for fervor and eloquence, and peculiar originality and richness ot language.

 The acuteness and wisdom of his views upon most subjects and the wit and force of his lllusra lions, make his conversation SO impressive that you remember what he has said long after you have parted from him During an interview of perhaps half an houI 1 was so struck with his remarks, that as soon as he left me wrote down his very words without any alteration or embellishment.

 When I expressed to Agrippa my opinion upon the subject of prejudice against color, he said

 "When there is flock of sheep, and some black ones among theri, always think that if they be- have well they have good right to be fed as the white ones. God will not ask what IS the col. or. but what has been our conduct. The Almighty made all colors If we find fault with the work, we find fault with the Workman. His works all good It is not the cover of the book, bul what the book contains IS the question. Many good book has dark covers Which is the worst, the white black man, or the black white man"

 "When white man says any hard thing to me about my color, tell him pity hm; and ask him which is the worst to be black outside or in? When black man is treated ill by white man and he bears it patiently, and only pities him, think that he has chance to take very high place over the white man

 "Oncc," said Agrppa, "when was servant to gentleman who overbearlng and naughty, we both went to the same church. On Sunday mulatto gentleman by the name of Haynes preach ed When we came out of meeting my master said to me. "well Agrippa, how did you like nig- ger preaching!

 Sir D I answered, |" he was half black, and half white; I liked my half, how did you like yours! ? -.Niss Pollen.

 A PAsroR AND HIS PEoPLE.-The Rev MT. W. of Bristol county, Mass, wished to address every portiop of his flock, in manner to impress them most deeply, and accordingly gave notice that he would preach sermons to the old, to young men, to young women and to sinnTs At ms hrst sermon the house was full, but not one aged person was there. At the second Uo young men) every lady in inc narish was present, and but few for whom t ,,,s ;,tondd Al the third a few young ladies a!- tendc1 but the aisles were crowded with young man Al tbe fourth, addressed to sinners, not solitary individual was there, except the sexton and organist. "So," said the good parson, "everv boly came to church to hear his neighbor scolded, but no one cared to be spoken of himself"
