A sENsIBLE CoNCLUsION.

A wealthy gentleman of Boston sever
al years ago gave friend the following
short narration of his own experience
He had an income of $4,000 year, IA
large sum then but not considered so now
a house in town and country seat few
miles out He had several children-a
coach, fine horses and driver; and took
pleasure in riding every day with his child
rem. One day when riding, the thought
struck him that each one of his children
would expect to have fine house and
coach and horses and driver, as their fa-
ther had before them, and to live as he had
lived; and if they did not they would be
unhappy. He did not think that all of
them could have things as he had them,
or live as he was living; and he rode
home, sent his coach and horses to mar
ket and sold them; bought a cheap carry
all, and became his own driver.
With emphasis he declared that no
amount of wealth could induce him to re-
turn to his former mode of living, for if
any of his children should chance to be
poor, as in all probability some of them
would be, they should not suffer in their
feelings by the reflection that their father
rode in his coach while they had to rough
it on foot The example he gave them af-
forded him a satisfaction greater than his
wealth had to bestow.

The substance of the law enacted in
most of the rebel States in relation to the
Freedmen has been thus tersely summed
up by Gen. Howard:
No negro shall own real estate.
No negro shall sell real estate.
No negro shall own or rent city prop
erty.
No negro shall bear arms.
Negroes shall not assemble together by
themselves they shall not establish schools,
they shall not have suits and give testimo-
ny in courts of law, or, in case they are
allowed to do so, it shall not be regarded
as legal testimony; they shall be obliged
by force to enter into articles Of agreement
The white man who abuses him shall 90
unpunished; they shall be whipped for
disobedience and other sins.

TIE WAY TO Avon CALuMNY.-"If
any one speaks i'll of thee" said Epictetus,
"consider whether he hath truth on his
side; and if SO, reform thyself, that his
censures may not affect thee" When
Anximander was told that the very boys
laughed at his singing; cay" said he,
''then l must learn to sing better" Plato
being told that he had many enemies who
spoke i'll of him, said: at is no matter
! will live so that none shall believe them"
Hearing at another time that an intimate
friend of his had spoken detractingly of
him, he said: 81 am sure he would not
do it, if he had not some reason for it,
This is the surest as well as the nobIest
way of drawing the sting out of reproach,
and the true method of preparing man
for that great and only relief against the
pains of calumny-d good conscience.
