LONG OR SHORT SwEErENING.-Two young
officers were travelling in the far West, when
they stopped to take supper at small road
side tavern, kept by q very rough Yankee
woman. The landlady, in a calico sun-bon-
net and bare feet, stood at the head Of the
table to pour out. She inquired of her guests,
"If they chose long sweetening or short
sweetening in their coffee?"
The first officer, supposing that "long
sweetening" meant large portion of the ar
tcle, chose it accordingly. What was his
dismay when he saw their hostess dip her
finger deep down into an earthen jar Of hon
ey that stood near her, and then stir it (the
fnger) round in the coffee. His companion
seeing this preferred "short sweetening,"
upon which the woman picked up large
lump of maple sugar that lay in brown pa
per on the floor beside her, and biting off a
piece, put it into the cup
Both the gentlemen dispensed with coffee
that evening.

were the words which came from that sister for
they were indeed written upon her brow. Happy

Negro Equality in Connecticut Woman S
RIGHTS.


The House Of Representatives in Connec
ticut by a vote of one hundred and twelve
to ninety four has passed bill amending the
State constitution, so as to allow negroes to
vote. Every black republican voted for it.,
and every democrat against it! The same
party voted down proposition to allow
white women to vote by a majority of one
hundred and twenty seven to eighty-two!
They considered the free negro better and
more fit object to exercise the right of suff-
rage than their own mothers, wives and
daughters. The same committee that re-
ported the negro-sutfrage bill, have proposed
another amendment to the constitution,
which requires foreigners to remain in the
State OF Connecticut twenty-one years before
they are allowed to vote. Under the opera
ton of these laws an ignorant and filthy ne
gro slave, just escaped from Southern plan
tation, will vote Immediately in Connecticut:
but the most intelligent white European, al
though he may have been college profes-
sor in Munich or Berlin, will be compelled
to wait twenty -one years. The avhite foreign
er is prescribed, dsfranchised in Connecticut,
while the negro is petted, caressed and al
lowed to become citizen at once. What
is the more astonishing, this discrimination
in favor of the negro appears to have the ap-
probation of large body of foreign-born
citizens, who always vote with the party that
places upon the class to which they belong
the badge of inferiority to the negro Pro-
vided he is elevated, they care nothing, ap-
parently, how much they are degraded and
dsgraced.
This action in Connecticut and other New
England States, by black republican legisla-
tors, affords the most conclusive proof of the
truth of the charges of the democracy-that
the republicans are in favor of absolute ne
gro equality with the white, political and So
cialy, and that it is, in fact, the only dis
tinctive feature of the party. Hereafter nc
man who has any regard for truth will ven
ture to deny it, Cincinnati Enquirer.

England and America in 1918.

The following is from the London Times,
Of March 18th, 1913:
The public will learn, with sentiments
which we shall not presume to anticipate,
that third British frgate has struck to an
American. This is an occurrence that calls
for serious reflection-this and the fact stat
ed in our papers of yesterday, that Lloyd's
list contains notices of upwards of five hun
dred British vessels captured in seven months
by the Americans. Five hundred merchant
men and three fligates! Aye, and three
sloops- of-war.
Can the statements be true, and can the
English people hear them unmoved? Any
one who had predicted such result of an
American war at this time last year would
have been treated as a mailman or a traitor.
He would have been told, if his opponents
had condescended to argue with him, that
long ere seven months had elapsed the Ame-
rcan flag would have been swept from the
seas, the contemplate navy of the United
States completely annihilated, and their ma
ritime arsenals rendered heap of ruins.
Yet, down to this moment, not single
American frigate has struck her flag. They
insult us and laugh at our want of enterprise
and vigor. They leave their ports when
they please, and return to them when il
suits their convenience, they traverse the At
lantic, they beset the West India Islands
they advance to the very chops of the chan
mel, they parade along the coasts of South
Notwithstanding cbases, nothing inter
cepts, nothing engages them, but to yield
them triumph.

"How oft heart-sick and sore

A little child"
Brother darling l send you my shadowy self
AS thing to be valued above other pelf;
Though its only an image, a meaningless face,
Devoid of all beauty, expression, or grace,
Yet pray you accept it, because, as you see,
'Tis very good likeness of poor homely me.
Do you see how the wrinkles have come to my brow
And the roses that once on my cheek used to glow,
How like the spring blossoms, all faded away,
Leaving naught to remind you of ife's early day?
Y es! roses and dimples together have fed.
And wrinkles and burrows have come in their stead
But though faded and dim is the light of mine eye,
Though change in each feature, your glance may
espy,
Yet my heart is still beating as fondly for you,
AS in days of our childhood, when troubles were
few.
And feel that your love will each blemish DER
look.
And give this a place in some snug little nook.
And oh. brother, sometimes when your thinking
of home,
And yearning once more its loved precincts to
After looking long time at your father and mo-
ther,
At Margaret, Mary Emma, and brother,
Should your eyes, for moment, fall kindly on
me,
Oh, think Of our childhood so careless and free
II ow swiftly and joyously then few the hours,
While we rambled all day in the search of wild
flowers,
Or, to seek the red berry, climbed up the steep
hill,
Each striving most quickly basket to fill;
Till exhausted and weary, when home came in
sight,
We hailed lis appearance with heartfelt delight
Yes, think of our childhood, but look on me now
And forget that the shadows have come to my
brow;
Forget the long years we have journeycd apart,
And think of me still as one joyous at heart;
AS a sister whose love is all centred in thee,
A favored companion oh! still let me be
