But time cannot destroy our love, its stronger

Since we broke up keepin' house, we've led

Jane puts the blame upon her man, and John

They think not of their infancy-of all those

When we toiled day and night for them, and

We leave behind us all the scenes of ealIy years,

And all the friends with whom we've won the

We leave behind the little church, where oft

But, good wife, we will never leave the God

There's a Niger in the Sleeper"

The Southern heart is fired again.
Again is the foot of the tyrant placed on
the neck of a brave but oppressed people
The superintendent of the Pullman Pal
ace Car Company has issued orders to
allow respectable and cleanly colored
people who pay the fee to take berths in
the sleepers running on Southern rail-
roads. Now they do "go for Mr.. Pull
man. He is called "mean radical" and
"a vicious ass" who, according to the
Meridian Mercury, offers to 'sleep negroes
in his palace sleeping-cars gratuitously to
insult and provoke the Southern whites
to toviolentresentment OF negro insolence. i"
The same paper advises a high-toned
Baltimore lady who sat up all night be-
cause there was a "damnigger" in the
sleeping-car, to get some male friend to
assault Mr.. Pullman. And the Mobile
Register is clearly convinced that Pull
man is engaged in "a fanatical effort to
transport foul odors, vermin and dis
ease" and to expose white citizens to
"the contact of the vulgar and filthy
creatures who compose nineteentwenti
eths of the negro race" Beware of
travelling pest-houses !" shouts another
irrate journalist. In fact one would
think the civil rights bill compelled
white people to ride in palace cars wheth-
er they wanted to or not, and that all
the plantation darkies were quitting their
work and paying 81 so a night and rail
road fares for the vicious purpose of in
citing the Southern chivalry to murder
them.
This is very funny. Those same cars
have always had "niggers" for stewards,
who, of course, slept in the car, when
they slept at all, Southern ladies insist
on taking their servants and colored
nurse-girls with them. But then the diff
ference is, that these "niggers" are there
as servants and not as travellers, and
they were not admitted by reason of the
civil rights bill or other Yankee tyr
amy.
So in plain truth the whole furore is
against the rights of negroes before the
law. 1t is not the proximity of negro
that harrows up their souls; they have
been used to that all their lives; some of
them have been little too near negroes,
if tightening up of compilations is any
proof 1t is the idea that a negro has
any rights. 1t is the recognition that he
is anything more than servant, hired
bondsman In short, the outcry arises
from the old slavery prejudice, intensi-
fed by hatred of all laws to secure free
DOM 1t is the echo of the slavedriver's
whip, with hatred of the North as a
cracker.
A lady entered street car in Rich
mond not long since The only vacant
seat was by a matronly-looking neat col
ored woman. The latter politely drew

than nature had given it. "Lor bless

The commonest objection to the civil
rights bill and all bills for the protection
of negroes, is that it undertakes to en-
force social equality and wipe out natu-
raj prejudices by statute. This objection
has gained some meaning from Republl-
cans "How would you like to have
negro forced into your society and seated
at your table against your willP' say the
reactionists. 1t is precisely the same
argument we used to hear in the anti
slavery controversy. The friends of free
dom were called "nigger lovers" and mis-
cegenationists," when the truth was that
every mulatto and quadroon in the
United States could trace his parentage
directly back to some STAKEHOLDER. 1t Is
so now. Contact between Democrats
and negroes is all right so long as the
negro approaches the Democrat as an
inferior. When law and eternal justice
make that negro citizen and they come
together before the law, then the contact
becomes a disgrace. The difference is
not in the negro, but in his changed
status in law. The prejudice is not nat
ural, but political 1t is his freedom

white and blue-not black, brown and

BILE that their sensitiveness will not be
appeased until the negro is again made
their inferior in law and rights. No
thing but the restoration of involuntary
servitude in some form will give US
peace The repeal of the civil rights
bill and all such will not be enough.
Uncle Sam must keep his hands off while
the Sovereign States of the South legis-
late the negro back into that condition
of inferiority for which he was designed
by God''-and by the white man, especial
ly for the white man. We commend
this fact to the consideration of such Re-
pubticans as think the negro does not
need federal protection. The sleeping
car howl is only protest against the
freedom, the citizenship, and against any
and all rights of the negro.

WAGES AND LABOR.

Every farmer should give wages
only in proportion to the worth Of the
men, and no, heed the complaints Of
,,pcnual amounts, for some men hon
cstly earn double what others do, and
there are often those to be met with
who would not be cheap if given
naucht but their board. 1t is high
time that the boarding Of hands in
the farm house was custom OF the
rast as there should be cottages on
every farm, and, by having respecta-
Die families in them, extra hands at
busy times could be boarded there,
thus saving the farmers wife from
The greatest nuisance to the family !;

borcrs without having servant girls,

norant, dirty, saucy and lazy or

once or twice week and expects her
mistress to do more than half the

was a disgrace to serve and so fool

with men, for though they live plain,
their fair is substantial and no fancy
dishes are expected, though in the

ishel The farmers wife having a
dairy, poultry, often the flower gar
den and some other beds, besides her
children to attend to, her position is
pitiable, and it is no wonder that well
educated farmers daughters choose
husbands that are not farmers.
When the advantages of having
married men in the cottages is fully
understood, it will be found to be a
great gain to employ the boys IN the
families, as there are many new nipple
monts coming into use which can be
managed by any one who can rice or
drive horse, and thus there will be
great saving in the cost Of manual
labor. There is plow coming out
which may make a great change IN
the cost of cultivation, for, as stated IN
Illinois, the horses draw much easier
with a rider than the common plows
do with q man walking behind. 1t
will be a great saving, as man or a
boy unable to walk all day can guide
the horses, and by using one pair TIL
noon, the driver could do as much
with each team in half a day as will
be done in whole day in the old
fashioned way Of resting at land 8 ends
and going very slow to make the ami
mails and man hold out for the long,
scorching day till shutdown. Thus
double the work can be accomplished
for about half the cost.
