EsoP.-Here is fable written many
years ago by E<op. 1t has very
palpable application to matters in this
country:
"a certain man having bought a
blackamoor. was SO simple us to think
that the color of his skin was only dirt
and filth. which he had contracted for
want of due care under his former
master. This fault. he imagined, might
easily be removed. So he ordered the
poor black to be put into tub, and was
at considerable charge in providing
ashes. soap and scrubbing brushes for
the operation. To work they went,
rubbing and securing his skin all over,
but to no manner of purpose, for when
they had repeated their washings several
times, aud were grown quite weary, oil
they got by it was, that the wretched
blnckumoor caught cold and died"
Ii that is not the best illustration of

From the Aberdeen (Miss.l Examiner.
The greatest sufferers this year through
the decline in cotton seems to be the
freedmen gbo are farming for them
selves. We hardly know of one in the
county who has not been completely
ruined. Many of these poor people had
accumulated nice little start while
working for others, but have lost it all
this season ~ experimenting as renters
on advances.
We hope that the lesson VII have a
good influence upon them, and iesyp
then at the outset of independent life
what their cid masters are slow to learn !:
that cotton cannot be successfully Guilt
waited by those who have to buy their
supplies, and that the farmer who is de-
pendent upon the merchant must, sooner
or later, come to grief.
Very few of these freedmen will have
dollar to spend on Christmas, and many
of them will be sold out lock, stock and
barrel by the supply-men, and will even
then be deeply in debit
But few ffesdMep will begin the new
year as well as they did The last, and not
many of them will have as much money
in their pockets on Christmas as they
used to have when slaves
