Come at once with all thy noon,
Manly, joyous, gypsy June.

Half defrauds thee Of thy right;
For her best is shared by thee
With a wealthier potency,
So that thou dost bring US in
A sort of May time Qa>Culine,
Fit for ss"tion or for rot,
As the luxury seems the best.

Or in love with paths of trees,
Or disposed full length to lie
With hand enShaded eye
On thy warm and golden slopes,

Listening with nice distant ears
To the shepherds clapping shears,
On the next fields laughing play
In the happy wars OF hay,
While its perfume breathes all over,
or the bean comes fine, or clover.

The Education Of Negro Chill
aa dren.

The resolutions adopted by the Conven-
tiOn of colored men lately in session in this
city, aside from proper recognition OF tho
benefits of the coIored race has received by
the events and results of the late war, arc
not of so much practical Importance, eN-
cept the one relating to the education oi
colored children of the State. Ii there was
ever good reason why they should I've de
priyed of the benefits of a common hoo
education. we have been unable 10 perceive
IT, The only justification for the levy oi
taxes bv the State for educational purposes
is. that the happiness and morals of society
are improved and conserved by the ditiu-
sion of intelligence among the masses ol
the people, and that an ignorant population
is dangerous 10 the State. We are unable
to perceive how society il to bc benefited
by keeping negroes in ignorance, as it is
manifest that an illitcratc, degraded ncgrC
population is as little to be desired a. an
equal number of uncducated whites.
Indeed it may well be questioned whc!h-
er ii IS not an Imperative duty imposed up
ON the Legislature by the Constitution. tU
provide schools for the black as well as
white children. BY the first section of Ar
ticle VIII. the Legislature is required ''to
provide by the law FOR general and uni
form system of common schools. wherein
tuition shall be without charge aqd cq"oiiy
frce 10 oil"
This does not necessarily imply that
children of the two races shall attend the
same schools. hut il does seem to require
that free schools shall be provided for all
children resident in this State.
AT present the property of negroes and
l,,f
school purposes. although that Of white
men is subject To State schoOl-taX of six
teen ccl.ts ON each hundred dollars. and IL
specific taxes br the local authorities for
building and maintaining school houses
Ii is difficult to justify this exemption in
the face OF that section of the Constitution
which declares that:
The General Assembly shall provide by
law for n rriiorm ard eqnal rate of assess
mcnt. and taxation. and shall prescribe
such regulations as shall secure a just val
uation for taviiion OF all property. both
real and personal. excepting such only for
municipal, educational. literary. scientific,
religions or charitable purposes as may bc
specially exempted 10y law"
Is il not a plain proposition that the
property of negroes iS bound under the
above mandate of the Constitution. to pay
tn same rate oftsXation imposed npon The
property ot other inhabitants of the State:
IL the Legislative may exempt the property
of one class on account of their color. it
may exemp: that of others because ol
their nativity or occupation. and thus the
uniformity OF taxation prescribed by the
Constitution be utterly destroyed.
In orr iui ment. justice. aS well aS the
Constitution, demands that the property OF
negroes shall be- taxed for school purposes.
and that their children should receive the
same benefits from the public school fund
that are cnioycl ny white children under
the laws as they now eXist.-Ind. Jour.

forced to tell Mr.. Doolittle that Mrs. Bow

sickness of neighbor's wife and that they
would be obliged to dine without ladiap
