that there is no "ground for the charges of Jud ge

not deny them:

passage, in which he maintains the intellectual
equality of the black and white races and states
that at a certain time his son was at school with
Il negro boy who was very smart, etc On this

stall to answer and he, after paavering about the
negro population of Massachusetts,, admits that at
different times, Mr. Everett had had two sons at
school with negroes, He calls them " coIored. W
From his failure to answer yea or nay = from
his turning the correspondence over To s5atonstnll;
and from that worthy's admission, Mr. McCraw
inIcrr d, that Mr. Everett did favor negro equal-

A STRING OF PEAMs.- Cultivate true sent-
ments, and good manners will suggest them
selves.
Men are said to admire that which they look
up to and to love that which they look down
upon.
Generosity consists not in the sum given, but
in the manner and the occasion OF its being be-
slowed.
TO quel the pride even of the greatest, we should
reflect how much more we owe to others than to
ourselves
We are sure to be losers when we quarrel with
ourselves it is civil war, and in all such conten-
tions, trlumphs are defeats.
The Philosopher Frazer says that though man
without money is poor, man with iothine but
money is poorer"
Philosophers themselves like the stole gentleman
of Marmontel, after praising simplicity of living,
often sink to sleep on heavy suppers and beds of
down.
An old author remarks: In borrowing money
be precious of your word for he that hath care
OF keeping days of payment is lord Of another
mans purse
