HINDOO FABLE.

There is fable among the Hlndoos, that
thief, having been detected and condemned to
die, thought upon an eXpedient by when he
might be rescued from death. He sent Tor the
TAILOR, and told him he had an important secret
TO disclose to the King. and, when he had done
so, he would be ready to die.
The King sent for him, TO know what TINS
secret was. He told him that he knew the art
of producing trees that should bear gold. The
King, accompanied by his prime minister,
courtiers, and priest, came with the thief to
certain spot, where they began their mcanta-
tons.
The thief then produced piece of gold, de
claring that if sown, it would produce a tree,
every branch of which should bear gold.
Butt he added, 4" This must be put into the
ground by a person perfectly honest. | am
not so, and therefore pass il to your Majesty"
The King replied, "when | was boy, re-
member taking something from my father,
which, although a trihe, prevents my being
the proper person. pass 1t, therefore, TO my
prime minister" The latter said: " | receive
the taxes from the people, and, as | am ex-
posed to many temptations, how can be print
iectly honest. therefore give it to tee
priest 2" The priest pleaded the same as %
his conduct in receiving the sacrifices. At
length the thief exclaimed, =" know not why
we should not all four be hanged, since not one
of us is honest"
The King was SO pleased at the ingenuity of
the thief, that he granted him pardon.-Se-

THE BREAKFAST.

Is this all we are going to have for break
fast ?" said James, as he seated himself at the
table.
YES" said the mother, /" the bread and
butter are fresh, and the potatoes are baked
very nicely they would be great luxury to
many poor children this cold morning."
James said nothing more, but began TO eat
very slowly and rather sulenly. He knew
that he must eat what was set before him, or
60 without food until dinner.
Mrs. Green" said colored woman, as
she entered the room, Mrs. Johnson's two
little girls are in the kitchen they are almost
frozen, and are very hungry they haven't had
have some of the cold meat that was left yes
terday"
"Poor things" said Mrs. Green. 81 will
come out and see them. James, you may come
with me, and see if they will eat what you are
so strongly inclined to refuse"
James hung down his head, and followed
his mother into the kitchen.
Mrs Green gave the little girls some bread
and butter and some baked potatoes, which
they eat with voracity which showed that
they told the truth, when they SAID they were
hungry.
"Oh, how NICE" said the youngest, little
girl six years of age; how do wish mother
was here"
Mrs. Green gave them supper of things
suitable for their widowed mother in her needy
circumstances, and they left the house very
happy.
As Mrs. Green returned to the breakfast
room, James put his arms around his mothers
neck. and. bursting into tears, said, /" Mother,
will never complain again. "-Selected

C0NSTlTUTI0N OF INDIANA.

MANCHESTER, DEARBORN Co, INDIANA,
March 80, 1881.
To The Editor Of me National Era:
The "black clause Of our new Constitution
is creating considerable excitement. Senator
Milliken and few others are determined that
the subject shall be agitated Some few meetings
have been held. Last night discussion was con-
Quoted by our Senator, Mr., Milliken, and Squire
George Lozier, in which the latter advocated the
scrptural authority Of slavery, the necessity Of
expelling the free blacks from this and every
State, and forcing them to " more happy home
namely, Liberia, in Africa, that degraded, su-
perstitious, dark, benghted, and miserable couu-
try,n as he termed it The Squire was 80 much
beaten, that he failed to fill up the time allotted
to him, though he several times said he could do
this and that, by way Of argument, "if he had
timen Another meeting will be held to-day, and
| believe the subject will be thoroughly discussed
in our county. Allow me to suggest TO our Anti
Slavery friends, that Indiana is an important field
for their labors There is great restitution Of
and great ignorance and prejudice on
this important subject. | believe, IL an effort
were made to have lectures delivered throughout
the State, that 1t would amply repay for the ont

want small tract on the Black Clause, and one

would be Of immense service

mistake, but it is one in which Mr. Davis is not

mistake, but it is one in which Mr. Davis is not
singular.
! shall refer to only one other piece Of evil
dence., That is the latest in time and is, alone,
conclusive Of the fact that Mr. Davis can be no
supporter Of the present Administration. The
Convention which nominated Mr. Davis for Con-
gress held at Northampton on the 4th day OF
October last, passed the following resolutions
ResolUed, That the non-extension of human
slavery is principle now and always lying at the
foundation Of our course of political action; and
that it remains for the friends Of freedom to see
that Utah and New Mexico, whenever admitted
into the Union, follow the lead and example Of
California
"Resolred, That while we rejoice that the slave
trade will no longer be permitted to disgrace the
Capital of the Nation we deeply regret that the
right of trial by jury, so eloquently claimed by
our own Representative for the colored citizen
charged with the crime of seeking his freedom,
should be withheld from him, and that the con-
stitutional clause under which he is claimed, obi
Gus in itself should be rendered still more odous
and detestable by the mode of its enforcement.
! ReSOlued, That while, as good citizens, we can
not counsel open resistance to the execution Of the
| Fugitive Slave Act we will give every possible
! legal aid and assistance TO those who may be ar
rested under it, in the assertion and maintenance
of their rights.
Resolped, That the better to insure the safety
and the rights of the fugitive, it is expedent and
desirable, in the opinion Of this Convention, that
the Legislature of this Commonwealth, at its next
session, should pass act authorizing the Execu-
tive to appoint one or more Commissioners in
every county, whose duty it shall be to appear for
any person arrested as fugitive under this law,
to protect his rights and aid him in establishing
all facts necessary to procure his discharge, and
directing the payment of all expenses incurred
by any person so arrested, in establishing his
rights, to be made from the treasury of the Com
monwealthD
Mr. Davis not only accepted the nomination
rendered by the Convention, but in a letter pub
lished in the SpiagfeH Republican, and copied by
many other papers, expressed an unqualified ap
probation of the resolutions.
| have thought this explanation Of Mr. Davis's
position due alike to himself and to those who
supported him, under the belief that he was an
incorporating abolitionist. That he is such
and that the Administration may as well expect
support from Joshua r. Giddings or from Sal
mon p. Chase, as from George T. Davis, | think
| the friends Of freedom may rest assured

cleaning; | wish we had dentist on board,
but, as we have not, will operate as well as
can. Send the armorer up here with his
longs"
When the armorer made his appearance, the
boy was made to open his mouth while the
chew of tobacco was extracted with this rough
instrument.
"There now" said the lieutenant, :" Pm
sure that you must feel better already, you
never could have any appetite. Now, captain
of the after guard, bring piece OF old canvass
and some sand here, and clean his teeth nice
ly"
The captain of the after guard cameiorward,
and, putting the boys head between his knees,
scrubbed his teeth well with sand and canvass
for two or three minutes.
"There. that will do" said the lieutenant.
" Now, my little fellow, your mouth Is NICE
and clean, and you'll enjoy your breakfast; 1t
was impossible for you TO have eaten anything
with your mouth in such nasty state. When
it's dirty again, come to me, and III be your
dentist. "-Peter Simple.

PRIDE In DRESS A FABLE.

A little boy and girl Were once seated on a
tiowery bank, and talking proudly about their
dress.
" See" said the boy, "what a beautiful
new hat have got; what a fine blue jacket
and trousers and what nice pair of shoes
ii is not every one who is dressed SO finely as
| ann"
" Indeed, SIR" said the little girl, /" | think
am dressed finer than you, for | have on a
silk hat and pelisse, and fine feather in my
hat; know that my dress cost great deal OF
money"
" Not so much as NINE" said the boy, 81

" Hold your peace" said a caterpillar,
crawling near the hedge " you have neither
Of you any reason to be SO proud of your
clothes, for they are only second hand, and
have all been worn by some creature or other,
of which YOU think bvt meanly, before they
Were put upon you. Why, that silk hat first
wrapped up such worm as am"
There, miss, what der goa say to that ~
said the boy.
"And the feather" exclaimed a bird =,
pcrched upon tree, "was stolen from, or
east oil by, one of my race
What do you say to that, miss ?" repeated
the boy. "Well, my clothes Were neither
worn by birds nor worms"
True" said sheep, grazing close by,
"but they Were worn on the back of some of
my family before they Were yours and, as for
your hat, know that the beavers have sup
piled the fur for that article; and my friends,
the calves and oxen in that field, Were killed not
merely to get their flesh to eat, but also to get
their skins To make your shoes"
See the folly of being proud of our clothes.

for theml and even then we could not use
them, il God did not give as the wisdom to
conrive the best way OF making them tit to
wear, and the means of procuring them for our
