There is capital anecdote told in this work,
of a Philadelphia charcoal man, who was


hard up as nuisance, for sounding his horn
in the streets. The official reproved him with
the most dignifed solemnity, and Jimmy stood
the rebuke, as if Satan had not only allowed
him his own color, but also his courage. His
reply was cogent and conclusive. Look here,
your HONOR said he, ! ha'nt no disposition,
by no means. to complain of them ere people
as has complained of me- Folks in my line
can bear upwards Of considerable in the way
Of epithets, without changing color and getting
mad. But do say, that axes them as charg-
es me with making too much noise in the
world, why they have got up such an antipa-
thy agin my horn! And should like to know
| if my little tin affair troubles them SO now,
how they will feel when they come to hear
the big trumpet that is to be blown at the day
of judgment, calling them, just as likely as
not, to coal hole, mighty sight blacker than
the one came from?"
