YE MEM OF WISDOM.

Ye men of wisdom-men of might,
Why should you struggle with the clod,
And smo ther all the gloriouslight
Within-the blessed gift of Godl
He made you in his image, not
To be degraded in the dust
With fear and misery your lot
Half eaten with a cankering rust.
Put forth your strength and energies,
And act like sterling men-who feel
That they can pierce the vaulted skies,
Or make earth's deep foundations reel.
Lose not moment-up-away
Where duty prompts or interest calls
Determined every foe to Stay,
Or die where every brave man falls.
The dust of earth was never made
To be your pillow-'lis your shroudj
And fools alone themselves degrade,
And dare not think or speak aloud.
Up! in your strength, and burst the band
That letters your immortal mind, a.
And take high and glorious stand,
And cast your doubts and fears behind.

An Unparalleled Case of Cruelty and
Oppression.

The New Orleans Picayune, Of the
9th ult, alludes 10 case before the
District Court of that city, which, if the
allegations of the plaintiff are both of
them proven, will develope case Of IN
paralleled hardship, cruelty and oppres-
sion.
The principal of these suits is that of
Sally Miller as. John F, Miller. Toe
plaintiff, in her petition for trial, rep
resents that she is native of Germany,
of honest parentage and leg innate birth
that in early infancy her parents emf.
grated to Louisiana that they soon az
ter died, while she [Sally) was yet of
tender age, and too young either to as
sert or be aware of her rights, that she
was illegally and feloniousIy seized by
John 4. Miller; was converted and
seized es slave, her natural liberty was
debarred her, she was made to hold a
place with negroes and those bound to
as a slave For more than twenty years,
she suffered the hardsaips and ptivations
imposed only on the African race, and,
as she believes, to the knowledge and
by the direct instrumentality of the said
John F. Miller, who did well know Of
her free birth, and who, in defiance of
all law, and in outrage of all moral obi
cation, did inflict on her wrongs which
no time can alleviate and no remunerar
tion adequately compensate. She fur
Their alleges that she had three children
by Mr. Miler's overseer, who is now
dead that two Of these children, the
eldest Of whom is thirteen years Of age,
are still held as slaves that on the 9th
July, 1888, she was herself publicly sold
as slave to Louis Belmonte, of this
city, who still assumes ownership in her.
For these, and all other grievances, she
claims from j. F Miller for damages,
$1,000.
The second suit which Sally Miller
has brought is against Louis Belmonte,
who bong hit her from Miller, and who
now claims ownership in her. We have
not seen The papers in this case, but
learn that she alleges belng--as she
does in the other case--the child OF
German parents, who came to this coun-
try in 1918, and articled themselves for
a stated period to Mr.. Miller, who paid
their passage money that they, as be-
fore stated, shortly after died and then
it was that ownership in her as a slave
was assumed by MIR. Miller.
Exceptions have been filed in both
cases. The argument on them COM
menced yesterday morning, and will be
continued this morning. Nswto'on Jour-
nal.
