In the first punber Of Gen. D. u.

THE BLACK RAM
dssop, or some other writer Of fables
relates the following: In the Island Of
Crete there dwelt formerly a feeble but
plucky little fellow, who owncda black
ram, which he had reared with his fam

tf,cm in a little wagon, andin thousand
ways showed its fondIess for them.--
But three of the neighbors Of the little
man had long lookcdwitb an evil eye at
his comfort and enjoyment, and came TO
him saying, We wish 70 sacrifice 70 our
God, aud have come FOR your black ram,
which was born for nobler things than
merely 90 contribute to your happiness,
But tho owner said | aud my children

worshipped the same God, condemned
his hot temper and rash impciuosity, aud
thought that a good pounding would
make h-n a better citizen. SO they
stood quietly by while chs four bullics
were beating and the three neiehboEs
wera pushing them ou from behind.
Now wIlcn the three ueishbors saw
that the l.jileman could resistno longcr,

4 Consclenslous DutchInan.

One Of the most conscientious Dutch
men ever known was porter in a COM
mission house in Cincinnati, and some
timer sold some Of the merchandise
when the proprictors were absent. lie
was good salesman, and pretty good
Judge Of money, but in one of his sales
he took in yerysuspicious looking five
dollar bill aud when the book keeper
took il to the bank, the bank refused it
and pronounced it spurious, but said it
was an excellent imitation. The book
keeper returned it to The porter, and
told him to return il to the party of
whom he received it. About week af-
terwards the book keeper, thinking he'd
had time to sectlre party and get anoth-
or note, asked the porter if he had re-
turned the spurious "Y."
"yell," he said, ''dat man yoS gave
me dat bill he didn't coined around al
ready, and some doys tink dc bill vas
goot, and some days | tink the bill vas
bad and so one of dem days yot / tink
it vas goot | passed him out "

In lIayti, Which Il controlled exci1-
siScly by negroes, no white man IS al
lowed TO vote or hold any Office OF trust

that Horace Greeley aud his fanatical
followers have not one word to say a.
gainst this. Why do they not discuss
the Injustice of such government =
The agitation of this subject would
prove their consistency at least, it not
their sincerity on the subject of politi-
