FABLE OF THE ASS AND THE STEAM.

An ass, heavily laden with n sack Of letters di.
rected to a distant town on the river, was met on
his way by a fox, who %apprisod him shat ease and
expedition would both be promoted by transferring
his burden to a steamer which had just then stop

"This is unreasonable, friend Reynard," replied
the patient beast for my method of transporting

years. yours only fifty. 1t is impossible that the
combined wisdom OF so many generations should
not exceed that Of one"
"Your reasoning" replied the fox, "can have no
weight, unless there had been n race or races be-
tween steamboats, and asses during the said three
Il ousand years, and it had been decided that the
ass always gained the race and was less fatigued.
Now this trial of speed and strength must have
been impossible before steamboats, were invented"
Whilst tho mail-carrier of the old line was stag

timely aid to the confoundcd disputant.
Master Rcynard," quoth he, you are not of an
age and size rightly to decide such matters. Your
facts and arguments may be unanswerable; but
they should have no weight with any respectable
ass. No respectable or learned ass should ever
adopt the new method, until some other ass, more
respectable and learned, shall have previously
adopted It,"

ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

While waiting for his water-pipe and sherbot,
tho visitor has leisure to run his eye over Il small
library which has been prepared for his entertain
ment. There are q few books in all languages,
treating of history poetry and travels. The Korau
is also there, and rests beside a copy Of the Bible
a few volumes Of Turkish poetry diversity the
collection; the works Of Hanmum Leila, and Of
HdRnUm Fitnette and the DirdH Of Kechedgee
Tade are among the latter class. There is also q
late collection Of Oriental songs, by various au-
thors, remarkable only as an index Of eastern
character.

onica," which was a critical work ON the condition
Of Turkish society, and was printed in CONSTANT

james shall make his appearance. Imagine his
surprise to find that same unrufled face and that
same pair of boots, which have followed him like
his shadow to his own parlor. Lest his wife and
friends should see his pertinacious visitor, whom
he had tried in vain to insult into anger, he pur-
chascs his peace by paying the bill, even though,
by so doing, he is obliged to appropriate the mar
ket money Of the next day.
Sometimes he does not so easily obtain his claim,
but having exhausted all appliances at the shop, is
obliged to haunt tho house morning, noon, and
evening. lie is told by the maid that the man is
in the house, and soon after by the mistress that
he has Just gone out, when he tells her he will
wait his return. Thus will he sit and rat for
three mortal hours, or until his Gagged bird "shells

leaning against the wall. There are also seven
small tables and a suficiency Of chairs. The light
is admitted from the top. and is somewhat sub

interior. The walls are painted in arabesque, and
a curtainea recess ut the back completes the dc,

PROSPECTUS or THE I'M

In announcing a rev Volume of this periodical,
we deem it essential to call the attention of the
reading public to the claims it may have upon
them for patronage.
The womans' rights movement having become
one of SO much importance as to enlist almost
every variety of character and shade of opinion,
it has Been deemed needful that n correct history
OF It's progress might be preserved; its demands
truthfully presented; and its philosophy thor
oughly treated that there should be one periodical
through which those most interested could have
utterance.
Political papers or those devoted to special re,
forms are alike unsuited to present n question in
volying so much OF truth as this, one which needs
the fairest the most candid and careful examina-
ton and consideration.
Our paper has been free in its character admit
ting almost every variety of opinion and upon all,
subjects and this it will continue to be.
Arts, science, literature, philosophy both spirit;
ual and natural, the science of association or the
reorganization of Society, and individual develop
ment, will each receive their due share Of atten-
ton.
Our contributors a few of whose names we give
will be warmly greeted by our readers Mrs. Dali,
Mrs. f. Cakes Smith, Mrs, L. j.. Eames, Mrs. F.
D.. Gage, Mrs. e. Cheney, now in Paris, Mrs.
Peter, Lizzie Linn whose story Of marriage the,
only alternative" opens with the first number If
the New Year and is quite worth the price of tho
paper.
The business department of the paper h, wing
passed into other hands with every prospect OF
permanence, we feel a confidence in pressing it's
claims for support and attention.
Its price is one dollar per annum, payable in.
variably in advance. All business letters should
be addressed post paid to S. C.. Hewitt, Is Frank
lin St. Boston Mass.

THE TIMES, THE MANNERS AND THE
MEN.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

By JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
The times demand new measures and new men
The world advances, and in time outgrows
Thelaws that in our fathers days were best;
And doubtless, after us, some purer scheme
Will be shaped out by wiser men than we.
Made wiser by the growth of truth.
We cannot bring Utopia at once;
But better almost be at work in sin,
Than in a brute i~naction, browse and sleep.
No man is born into the world, whose work
Is not born with him there is always work,
And tools to work withal, for those who will;
And blessed are the horny hands Of toll!
The busy world shoyes angrily aside
The man who stands with his arms akimbo set,
Until occasion tells him what to do;
And be who waits to have his task marked out,
Shall die and leave his errand unfulflled.
Our time is one that calls for earnest deeds.
Reason and Government, like two broad seas,
Yearn for each other, with outstretched arms,
Across this narrow isthmus Of the throne,
And roll their white surf higher every day.
The field that lies wide before us where to reap
The easy harvest of a deathless name,
Though with no better sickles than our swords.
My soul is not q palace Of the past,
Where worn cut creeds like Rome's gray Senat
quake
Hearing afnr the Vaudal's trumpet hoarse,
That shakes old systems with a thunder-ft,
The time is ripe, and rotten ripe, for change;
Then let it come. ] have 10 dread Of what
Is called for by the instinct of mankind.
Nor think l that Gods world will fall apart
Because we tear q parchment more or less.
Truth is eternal, but her. afluence,
With endless change is fitted to the hour;
Her mirror is turned forward, to reflect
The promise of the future, not the past.
l do not fear to follow out the truth,
Albeit along the piecipice's edge.
Let US speak plain there is more force in names
Than most men dream Of. and a lie may keep
Its throne a whole age longer, if it skulk
Behind the shield of some fair-seeming name;
Let us call tyrants, TYRANTs, and maintain
That only freedom comes by grace of God,
And all that comes not by his grace must full
For men in earnest have no time to waste
In patching fig leaves for the naked truth.

THE HUDSON AND THE RHINE.

In a recen; work, a "Diarv in Turkish and Greek
Waters" by the Earle of Carlisle, formerly Lord
Morpethe, under which latter nam he visited the
United States in 1912, we find the following COM
parison between the Rhine and the Hudson, which,
coming from q competent head, is worthy of note;
"JUNE Gth.--Started to ascend the Rhine. l
will not invade the province of poets, tourists, and
hand-books, by any detail of its well-known seem
cry. had felt some curiosity to compare it with
the Hudson. Even apart from all association with
history, legend and song, every building on the
Rhine, from castle to granary, is picturesque, while
every building in the United States, whatever its
other more important characteristics may be, is
essentially the reverse. Then, the vineyards on
the Rhine, though not strictly q beautiful feature,
give an air, at least an idea, Of genial animation
to the steep slopes and narrow cliffs in which they
are imbedded. So much on the side of the Rhine.
| am inclined to think that the natural sites and
outline Of the Hudson arc finer; but the great
point Of superiority is the look of movement on
the river itself; every one of its varied reaches is
sure of being at all times spangled with white
sails whereas | felt quite astonished at the small
appearance of tr.tlic on the Rhine. | had al Says
looked upon it as the great highway OF all the
German nations, for the tolls Of which free cities
and powerful leagues had competed, and States
and Empires protocoled and fought; but one Of the
large timber-rafts, and n few steamers of very
marrow girth, were all / saw to-day, to compete
with all the life and business that swarm on the
Hudson, the Thames or the Clyde"

A RIDDLE OF THE PAsT.-We learn from a Mad
rid paper, that in the Province of Logrone, between
TeI1cciiia de Camera and PeHa dc Ia Neil, near the
high road from Madrid to France, they have just
discovered, at the depth Of seventy feet below the
surface, a vaulted gallery, seven feet broad the
floor and roof are ornamented with countless sta
]lactites and stalagmitcs, united in many places into
pillars. Seen by torchlight, this gallery, the work
of human hands, ornamented by those of nature
resembles a fairy palace.
After traversing this corridor, which may be
about $50 or 100 feet in length, you arrive at a cir
cular area of 800 superficial feet; in this the
roof is too lofty for the eye to distinguish its form.
In the centre of this vast hall are the remains Of
an enormous funeral pile around are heaps Of
wood, some rotten, others reduced to mere dust
Farther off were piles Of human bones, some cal
cincd, some in their natural state. In the floor
are several openings, having circular stairs of cut
stone, which prevented their depth being ascer
tanned.
1t was impossible at the time to push the search
further, as the difficulty of respiration increased
every moment, but it is to be continued with the
greatest care. There is much excitement among
the curious, who are lost in coniectures rs to thu
uses of of this mysterious and funeral cavern
