How often YOU hear people say: There

there is no exception. A lady very richly
dressed went into q confectionery for d
glass Of soda. She had with her beauti-

was a free country. No aristocracy and the
law had freed the slaves, so that they were
on an equality with the whites. OF course,
there is distinction between the upper
and lower classes Of white people. 50
there should be distinction Of the upper
and lower classes Of c0lorcd people In
England, where it is not free country,

coIored doctor in England that She
rich and poor loved. He was good
man, the friend Of the poor would share the
last he had with them. His servants in the
winter were solely employed III making
soup and taxing it to the poor and in1irm.
When called TO fight for his country and
tend the sick and dying, he was the first to
leave his home, but not before he got up in
the pulpit, in the place Of clergyman, to
take q sOrFOWiuI iafGWGIl OF HIS people, aDG

half, and never before was that church SO
thronged, and one and all wept many bitter
tears. II was the most sorroWful parting I
ever witnessed. From the highest to the
lowest, children and all, made him part

his arrival on the field OF battle. There is
now every tribute of affection paid to his
memory, and none can speak Of him but with
tears IN their eyes. Here, no matter what

the bond is from, whether they have that
much to their name or not, you are free to
kill as many more az you Like. You can
stain your hssGs @ith as much human blood
az you like, and money will spare your lie.
This is about the only advantage you have Of
a free country. The time will arrive when
the c0lorcd people will be thought the same
Of as the whites. The whites are obliged
to 60 to the same last resting place, their
