How the Raven Became BLACK
A LESSON TO TALE BEARERS

LESSON TO TALE BEARERS.
There's c ever classic story,
Such as poets used to write,
(You may find the tale in Ovld.)
That the Raven was once white
White as yonder swan q sailing
At this moment in the moat,
TIL the bird, for misbe heavor,
Lost one day his snowy coat.
Raven. white" was once the saying,
Till an accident, alack
Spoiled its meaning, and thereafter
TWAS changed 10 Raven black -
Shall tell you how it happened
That the change was brought about
List the story of COronis,
And you'll find the secret oRt.
Young Coronis, fairest maiden
OF Thessslia's girlish train,
Whom Apollo loved and courted,
Loved and Courted not in vain,
Flirted with another lover
$50 at least the story goes)
And was wont to meet him slylY
Underne cath the blushing rose.
Whereupon the bird of Ph@bas,
Who their meetings CHANGED to view,
Went in haste unto his master;
Went and told him all he knew;
Told him how his dear Coronis,
False and faithless as could be,
Plainly loved another fellow
II he dOabted, come and see
Whereupon Apollo, angry
Thus to find himself betrayed,
With his silver bow and arrow
Went and shot the wretched maid
Now when he perceived her dying,
He was striken to the heart,
And to stop her msrtal bleeding,
Tried his famous healing art
But in vain the god of Physic
Had no antidote; alack
He who took her off so deity
Couldn't bring the maiden back
Angry with himself, Apollo,
Yet more angry with his bird,
For moment stood in silence
Impotent to speak word
Then he turned upon the Rrven,
"Wanton bsbbler see thy fate
Messenger of mine no longer,
Go to Hades with thy pirate.
Weary Pinto with thy tattle
Hither, monster come not back;
And-to match thy disposition
Henceforth be thy plumage black -
MORAL.
When you're tempted to make mischief
Ii lie wisest to refuse;
People are not apt to fancy
Bearers of unwelceme news.
SECOND MORAL.
Something of the pitch yen handle
On your fingers win remain;
AS the Ravens tale OF darkness
Gave the bird a lasting stain

WHY LABoRERs HAVE NoTurNG TO
Do.-The New York Express explains
very satisfactorily why laborers have
nothing to do, and why employers
are daily discharging their workmen,
as follows:
First-the Southern States are not
admitted in the Union on an equali-
ty, and second, the country is in q
state of alarm owing to the revolu-
tlonary measures of the dominant
party. The Southern States, if they
were represented in Congress, would
be to-day, what they always were,
our best customers; but it cannot be
expected that capitalists will invest
money in States whose future may
be such as will characterize that OF
any land governed by narrow -mind ded
and unscrupulous rulers
No laboring man needs to be told
that no nation can prosper when one
branch Of the Government is con
stantly and unconstitntonally at
tempting to destroy the other de-
partments. There will be financial
uncertainty and consequently lack
Of steady employment for labor,
