When the world was created, and all
creatures assembled to have their life
appointed, the Ass first advanced and ask
ed how long he would have to live.
"Thirty years" replied Nature; swift
that be agreeable to thee?"
"AlasP' answered the Ass, Hit is long
while. Remember what wearisome ex-
:stence will be mine; from morning until
night | shall have to bear heavy bur-
deDs, dragging corn sacks to the mill,tha
otherszmay eat bread while have mo en-
couragement, nor be refreshed by any
thing but blows and kicks. Give me but
a portion of that time, pray
Nature was moved with compassion, and
presented but eighteen years. The Ass
went away comforted, and the Dog came
forward
How long dost thou require to live?"
asked Nature. Thirty years are too ma
ny for the Ass, but wilt thou be conten-
ted with them?"
els it thy will that I should?" replied
the Dog. "Think how much shall have
to run about; my feet will not last me
for so long time, and when shall have
lost my voice for barking and my teeth
biting, what else shall I be fit for but to
f1ie in the corner and growl2"
Nature thought he was right, and gave
twelve years.
The Ape then appeared.
"Thou wilt. doubtless, willingly live
the thirty years" said Nature; thou wilt
not have to labor as the Ass and the Dog
life will be pleasant to thee"
''Ab, no!' cried he; $50 it may seen to
others, but it will ndt bel Should pud-
dings ever rain down, should excite
laughter by my grimaces, and then be re-
warded with sour apple. How often
sorrow lies concealed behind jest! I
shall not endure for thirty years" ah
Nature was gracious, and he received
but ten. m
At last came Man, healthy and sttong,
and asked the measure of his days.

"How short time!" exclaimed the
Man. "When I shall build my house,

Thus Man lives seventy years: The
first thirty are his human years, aud pass
swiftly by. He is then healthy and hap
Ply. He labors cheerfully and rejoices in
his existence. The eighteen years of the
Ass come next; burden upon burden is
heaped upon him--he carries the corn to
feed others; blows and kicks are the re-
ward Of his faithful service. The twelve
years of the Dog follow, and he loses his
; teeth, and lies down in the corner and

Alabama Legisln 1t urc.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, November 22-Gov
Parsons delivered his message to the
State Legislature to-day. The message
urges the adoption of the amendment to
the Constitution Of the United States
abo]ishing slavery, and the passage of
laws Tor the protection of the freed ne
groes and their property. This course, he
says, will secure the admission of our Rep
resentatives into Congress, and restore
the State to all her political rights in the
Union.
He approves of special code for the
government OF the negroes, and recon
mends the adoption of vagrant laws, to be
used upon the whites and blacks alike,
and suggests that vagrant laws similar to
those in force in the State of Massachu-
setts be adopted.
Gov. Parsons also recommends that
provision be made for destitute white and
black men.
