The ntuiio of Fred Douglass is ouo of the beat known in ( ho country , and Uio fact that lie , n colored limn , escaped from slavery at a time when the Un- clen romil railway wan running ita perilous trips ia hUe well known. The manner jof his escape , however , has never until now boon told. ly ) the kind permission of the editor of The Century Magazine ( formerly Scrib- nor'fl Monthly ) I nm poHnlttod tb give a fonr extracts from Mr. Douglass1 narraiivo of his escape , printed in that magazine lor the first tune. To toll the vholo atorV in thia loiter would not bo fair to the magazine , so Tshall only touch upon aomo few of the inci dents of that light for freedom. Though of tea asked to * rite the story of hia escape , Mr. Douglasi has re fused on the grounds that while sl& very existed there wore a gobd manj reasons for not tolling the story , an since it had ceased to exist , there TTH no reason for tolling it. Ho has a last boon prevailed upon to toll th tale. Those persons who expect sensational story will bo disappointed There is , however , in the simple nar ration n pathos that nil who read i must feel. It is n record of courag that could risk betrayal , and braver that was ready to encourage death i need bo. But those qualities wor not largely drawn upon. Address run' cmmiiw were of more use and the , won the day. Nearly half n century ngo , whoi Douglass made his escape from slavery it was the custom in the state of Mary land to require all free colored poop1 ! to bo provided with "froo papers , without which they were not permit ted to travel. A description of the person was given in these papers , nm the person was examined very' rigidl ; to make good his identity. A slav' answering'to the general dcsription would sometimes borrow or 'dire hi papers from a free negro , but this , wa a critical thing to doandoffonreaultec disasterously to both the owner am the borrower. ' Douglass1 answered'n ' description papers ho had aeon'sof plaii could hot be adopted in hiB.Ctlse Ho had a friend a sailor who was | provided with certain qovernmon papers that had at least on ofOcia look. Baltimore was his starting point. Ho arranged with a friondl ; hackman.to take liis luggage to ih station and arriving there himself'jus ' in time tb jump'aboard the train , hop ing in the confusion attending its do parturd to avoid .exciting1 . suspici6n The story is best told ih Douglass1 owi language i "Inmy clothing I was rigged ou in sailor ( style. I had on n red shir and a tarpaulin hat , ' and a black crava tied in sailor .fashion carelessly am loosely about my nock. My' knowl edge of ships and sailor's talk came much to my assistance , for I know a ship from stem to stern and from keel son to cross-trees , and could talk sailor like an 'old salt. ' 1 was well on the way to Havro do Grace before the conductor came into the negro car to collect tickets and examine the papers of his black passengers. This was a critical moment in the drama. M ; , wliolo future depended upon the decision cision of this conductor. Agitatet though I was while this ceremony wa proceeding , still , ' externally at' least I was apparently calm and self-pea ecssed. He wonb on with his duty examining several colored passenger before reaching mo. Ho somowha harsh in tone and peremptory in man ner until ho reached me , when , strang' enough , and to my surprise and relief his whole manner , changed. Soeinj that I did not readily produce 'mi free papers , as the other colored'per ' sons in the car had done , ho said mo , in a friendly contrast with his bearing toward the others : " "I suppose you have your free pa pore ? " To which I answered : "No , sir ; I never carry my free papers pors to sea with mo. " ' But you have something io show that you aie a freeman , haven't' you ? ' Yes sir " I answered "I have , , ; a pa per with the American eagle on it , and that will carry mo around the world. " At Havro-do-Graco ho mot a young colored man whom ho know and who seemed curious to find out his business so far from homo. Ho got rid of this difficultyonly to encounter another. At the window of a train , standing on a side track directly opposite the one ho was in , sat a man for whom lie had just boon working at Baltimore. , By good luck the man did not' turn around , ao ho was undiscovered. ' On reaching Philadelphia ho inquired h's ( way to the Now York trains and ar rived in this city on the 4th of Sep tember , 1838 , n free man. But his troubles were not over. In Now York iio found that it was hard to find a trustworthy man oven of his own raco. Largo premiums were offered for the return of runaway slaves , and few of the miserable darkies iu.tlio city could withstand the temptation to betray a brother. For days Douglass wandered liomoless mid hungry through the itrcots. Finally ho found a good Samaritan who directed him to the louse of David Rugglca , one ot the ) fllcors of the Underground Railroad , .vlio liyed on the corner of Church and Liisponard streets. There the poor unuway was hidden for several days md there ho was joined by his iritendr id wife , a free woman'froin Baltimore , md they were married by1 a Presby- iorian minister. From Npw York the iewly-iiiarried couple > vcnt to Now Bedford , Mass. , where their free lifo icgan in earnest. It was in Now Bod- brd that Douglass , on the advice of n lolorod friend , changed the name given urn at birth to the ono ho now boars. Frederick Augustus Washington Bai- oy was his orignal name. Her frinnd , laving just read The Lady of the Lake , iiiggestcd , indeed insisted upon Doug- ass ns the now surname , aim Douglass t was made. EIUHMUH. Her Recommendation * . ; hlcago Tribune.

"Don't you young folka sot up till tha morning paper cornea , thia time , " shouted she over the bannisters. "No o P , " replied n unroot voice from the parlor ; "wo won't , will wo ? " said she in an undertone. "Not if I know it , " was the reply. "If the old folks nro going to bo M aour ns thia I guess I'll .skipnow , " nui ho reached for his hat. "Seo herol" antl the girl's eye gleamed with cwunostncssj "you're tli first follow I'vo had and you've got t put down that lint and ait up nn court mo iu good slmpo.

"How many do you thinkmy sisters have had ? Not a sign of ono , cither of thorn. Such pretty girls aa May and Nellie were , too , and so much attention as they usedtoliave ?

No , Fred j as1' ' a lover you are just perfect , and I shall hate awfully to give yoi up. Still , if'you ' are bent on marry ing , there are plenty of girls who have not married sisters , or who are nol wise enough to profit by their exam ple , if they havo. And don't frel about me , for no doubt I can ' find some ono to fill your place But before Lizzio had concluded Fred made for the door , muttering something "unmentionable to ears polite " "There ! " exclaimed Li/zio , as the door closed with a bang , "I knew ho \ras \ no better than the real. He'd make a bear of ahusband ; butl'msorry ho came to the point so soon , for ho was just a splendid beau , " Thellotaller. A finicky , fussy , round little man stepped up to the first waiter in a now oyster saloon in Sixth avenue and aid : "Havo you got any really nice , resli , good oysters ? " "Yes , sir. " "Not too fat , you know but not hin , either. I want them just ox- ctly right , and I want them perfectly rosh. " "How will you have them half hell ? " "Stop a moment , " said the little mn ; "if you have got ju t the right Kind in just the right con- ition , please take half a pint of mull onia ( not top sinnll , you know ) , nd strain the juicoou" them carefully , i-nving just a little juice over them , 'ut them in a pan which has been coured and dried , and then add a lit- to butter , ( good , pure buttei ) , and a ittlc milk ( not Now York milk , but oal country cow's milk ) , and then lace the pan over a coal lire , and be areful to keep the pan in motion so s not to let the oysters or the milk urn ; add'a little Juice if you choose , . nd then watch the pan closely , so lint the exact moment it comes to a oil you can whip it off , At the same imo hiwo n deep dish warming near hand , and when you see the first ign of boiling empty the pan into the ish1.

Upon my word , when I think of the whipping that wont on tiny after day in the old Mayhcw school ) I am aston ished at it. Yet , with the \arioty of corporal punishment so freely bestow ed there wai mingled a sort of ghastly sportive element , agiim humor which did not always commend itself to the perception of him who. received the llngelmtion , A merry conceit , for in stance , was that of Master dough , The ingonimnis person would alruc culprit to stand upon the platform near the desk , and without bonditij the knees , touch the Hour with hi lingers , Then n smart ilourish of the rattan and a sudden blow would canto the unhappy youth to involuntarily resume sumo an upright position with divert ing rapidity. If was really very aunts ing ( to Master Olough ) . Sometime an oirdndor would bo oskod by one o the musters which instrument of tor ture ho would choose the riding-whip the ruler , or the rattan. Whiohovei ho seemed to prefer was not the ono used , but one of the others > woulc make him smart. This little chanqi would have a healthful moral inllu eiico upon the scholar , teaching patience tienco and resignation under d is ftp pointinont. A pleasant ! | luslratioi ( to the teacher ) of the irony of fnti was shown in another way. Whoi the stock of rattans ran low ( mid tha uns not seldom ) Borne \ictiinlndts grace would be dispatched for a frost supply , knotting that on his return ho would feel the first stroke ot the rod With what ingenious refinontcnt o torture the victim was thus made to tind the weapon that should woum him ! There was another diversion of our kind-hearted masters which in sum mer , when the dajs were long , occa sionally broke the monotony oi school boy life. Sometimes , of a sultry July afternoon the qound of voices in the room grow fainter and fainter1 , his head would droop and finally sink up on his desk ; and he would quickly bp in the land of dreams. Then it was that the master , sei/ing his rattanand , stealthily yet joyfully striding across the rows of desks , would give the sleeping wretch such a rousing wlmck a to astonish and confound as well as suddenly awake him. I confess' , that these diversions of the podogoguo were neb without their attraction for us who looked on and saw at , the contortions of the boys whoso fortune it was at the moment to bo under discipline. The fact that our turn might como next did not pre vent us from finding what entertain ment wo might in what our master ev idently enjoyed. None of us had yet road the maxims of the cynical La Rochefoucauld , but wo realized that under certain circumstances there is something in the misfortunes of our friends that gives us a certain sort ol satisfaction. Those werojindecd days when flog ging was administered in no homoeo pathic doses , but with a most heroic fullness _ of practice. I once made a careful estimate of my own experience in that way , and came to tho'coticlu- sion that I had averaged whipping and a half a day during my connection with the Mayho'w school. Of course wo became somowhat'hmrei ! to this rough treatment. It' was con sidorcd the proper thing to suffer witl Spartan firmness , and ho who whih laid across the mastor' jkneotopult calmly make comical and derisive faces from his ignominous position , for the entertainment of his associates , without' ' having his \ attention divortec tto other imrta of 'his ' body , waamc counted a bravo' ' follow. Then there was a superstitious belief that > by lay ing one's eyelash in the hand that wai about to bo feruled , the accursed wood was sure to bo shattered' ' on coming in contact with thomngio hair. But ] never saw one shattered. Liquid Gold- Dan'l Plank , of lirooklyn.
