in the following strain why, / tell

Ole poet' S Column,
THE LITTLE DOG OF BRETTE.

THE LITTLE DOG OF BRETTE.
There lived in Brette city
A man both poor and blind,
Who for himself no longer
His bit of bread could find.
Then was his faithful poodle
A friend in need, and bore
Between his teeth and basket,
And begged from door to door.
A billet in the basket
Said, Give the blind man foods! I"
And each one gave the poodle
Right gladly what he could
Which then the faithful creature
To his poor master bore;
And never touched morsei.
Though oft-times hungering sore.
But once he came on Friday,
To where butcher dwelt;
The simple beast had never
Mans cunning known or felt.
The butcher was bigot;
A Papist strict was he;
"Flesh wouldst thou have on Fast Day?
But stop: I'll give it thee"
Then chopped his little tail off,
All at single blow;
And threw it in the basket,
And said, . There's meat, now go!o
Disgraced and manned, but faithful,
The basket home he bore;
And laid him on the Threshold,
And moaned and breathed no more.
Then heavy grief and sorrow
On all the city fell
For all the men and children
Had loved the dog so we'll.
Above the city gate now,
For a memorial shown,
Without tail, poodle,
Stands there hewed out in atone.
And when faithful action
Meets base return, they say,
He's treated as the poodle
OF Brette was one day.

possession, they shall be your bond-men
forever" I ask any candid man, if the
words of this institution could be more ex-
plicit2 It is from God himself; it author
ICES that people. to whom he had become
king and law-giver, to purchase men and
women as property; to hold them and their
postcrity in bondage; and to viii them to
their children at possession forever; and
more, it allows s----.rs- % set
tie and live among them; to breed slaves
and sell them. Now, it is important to
correct understanding Of this subject, to
connect with the right to buy and possess,
as property, the amount Of authority to
govern, which is granted by the law-giver;
this amount of authority is implied. in the
first place, in the law which prohibits the
exercise of rigid authority upon the He
brews, who are allowed to sell themselves
for limited times. "If thy brother be
waxen poor, and be sold unto thee, thou
shalt not compel him to serve as a bond
servant, but as hired servant, and as
sojourner he shall be with thee, and shall
serve thee until the year of jubilee-they
shall not be sold as bond-men; thou shall.
not rule over them with rigor." Levitt. XIV.
80, 40, Al. 40, 43. It will be evident to
all, that here are two states of servitude; in
reference TO one of which,. rigid or COM
pulsory authority, is prohibited. and that its
exercise is authorized in the other.
