The xyth Amendment.

The National Executive Commit
tee, George L. owning, President
and F. 6. Barbodes, Secretary al
Washington, have issued the fol
lowing address to the collored peo-
pie OF the United States. d,
Your N ,tional Executive Com
mit,ee, created by you in the Ma
tionaI Convention, assembled Jan
uary ID, 1869, to urge Legislation
looking to the educational, material
and political interests OF the color
ed people of the nation, deem that
they have at length arrived, in the
progress Of their efforts, at prob
able political consummation in their
hopes in so far as the organic law Of
the Republic is concerned They
recognize the result in the anticIpa-
ted announcement of the fratitica
ton Of the Fifteenth A end nent to
the Federal Constitution; which for
bids any abridgement of the right
of suffrage on account of the race
color, or previous condition OF any
citizen of The United States. They
feel that this Amendment should, in
the estimation of the colored man,
transcend in Importance even the
revered Declaration of our Nation
al Independence, inasmuch as it is
the practical affirmation Of the rights
Of men, while the other was theo-
retical enulciation thereof. There
fore, it has been determined that it
is fitting for your committee to ad-
wise the general assembling of the
colored people Of every State and
Territory through the length and
breadth of the land, wherever the
said Fifteenth Amendment has
been officially announced as being
ratified, i'll order to offer up prayer
and thanksgiving to Almighty God,
an in all proper ways to assure the
world Of our appreciation of the
righteous act of our fellow country
men in constitutionally securing to
us that which; has always been our
just due, but unjustly withheld.
Your Committee does hereby thus
advise, and take OCCASION at the
same time to declare in your name,
that this just act of the American
people will be held at its full estimate
by those whom it enfranchises that
they will make such use of the rigi..4,
thereby secured to them as sha.,.i add

Of the country, and tnat in1possess

wA good story is told Of a
Tioga county merchant who agreed
to take a farmers oats at forty
cents bushel if the latter would
let him tramp the measures when
filled. The farmer agreed to it.
The buyer paid for sixty bushels
and next day went after them. The
farmer filled the half bushel, and
the merchant got in and trampled
them down. Whereupon the far
mer poured the oats so compressed
into the bag. The merchant pro
tested. and demanded that the mea-
sure should be filled up after tramp
ing. The farmer informed him that
there was no agreement of that
sort, but that he might tramp down
the oats to his hearts content after
they were measured. r u qm. F.

Two Clever Sailors.

In small old town on the sea-
shore, there used to live two sail
ors, named Jack and Joe. They
were great friends, and had one
boat between them, and used to go
out fishing together. r
They were both strong, brave and
sunburnt. They both liked rum,
and so they both wore loose trou-
sers. And so they never could
make out which was the most
clever. r
Il know the best way to cook
herring, mackerel and sole," said
Joe.
$50 do l." And I know the best
way to catch them, answered Jack.
$50 do l." said Joe. "But what
is the use of all this when we have
not got any ropes for our nets -
elf we had time we could make
some," said Jack.
''If we had money we could buy
some," said Joe.
= eff we knew where we could
borrow some," said Jack.
eff we knew where we could
steal some," said Joe. ..,
just then the bells of the church
on the hill began toiling for even
ing prayers.
"They ring those bells with
ropes" said jack -F-
"And the ropes are very good,''
said Joe.
Jack began to smile, Joe began
to laugh!
"Shall we go to church tonight
mate p said Jack. @5 G
"And shall we stay there till the
last p said Joe. &
Up the hill went the two sailors
b They stopped in church until the
prayers were over and everybody
was gone. %
"Now is our time," said Jack"
"It's our turn now," said Joe.
Off they went to the tower where
the bells were hung. Here they
found two long, and strong, thick
ropes. ~ raI zEz sEaaSs e5,rFs =,

j "What stupid head you are,
