THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

wretched inhabitants oc Mexico and tho country
of the lncas had to atone for the natural riches of
their soil, with the conquest Of their homes and
the annihilation of their race. 1t is a misfortune
to possess anything that anybody can covet or lust
after. If one is rich he is envied If he is in pos.
session Of place or power he is hated if learned
aud accomplished, he is slandered. To be sure of
not being plundered, "a man must have nothing in
his pockets; to pass through life without an enemy,
one must be n very cold.blooded friend, indeed,
and to miss being cheated, one must make no bar
gains.
The muscle first spoken of slept comfortably in
the brooks from year to year, among its ancestors
and neighbors, rs sweotly as any clam or oyster
need to do, till somebody, alas discovered a pearl
dropping from his weeping eye, Then his doom
was decreed. lie was not simply slowed, fried
and roasted, and "donc in every variety of STYLE
for gastronomic pleasure, like his just mentioned
relatives. Had such been his fate it could have
been borne. lie would have felt Il degree of sat
~israction in being cooked by the skillful hand of
- and devoured by many Il charming beauty.
But just think of it! lie was put upon the rack,
dissected, and thrown away by carloads, like
dogs flesh and ofail This il past all endurance,
And we really think ourselves, that this hard
shell has been hardly used, and has \ title to
complain.

A FLOWER GARDEN IN A PRIsoN.-Some time
since, we stated that Mr. Adams, keeper of the
East Cambridge House of Correction, contemplate
ed turning a vacant spot of land within the prison
walls into n flower garden where the inmates ,espec-
ally those of the female sex might, during good
behavior, spend a brief period at the close Of each
day in an innocent and healthful enjoyment. The
plan has been successfully carried out, and in the
lately barren spot now bloom beautiful flowers, the
score or more unfortunate females confined in that
institution having zealously, and with much taste,
seconded the design of Mr.. Adams. We doubt if
there are many gardens in the world outside, which
a place is certainly a novelty, and we hope the ex-
pertinent may be attended with the best results,
not only giving to the prisoner brief moments OF
respite, but by its influence gently drawing him
toward the innocence of other and better days
