Address OF the Immigrant Relief
Board to the Public

At a mass meeting of the colored
citizens of indianapolis, held in Betl.
ell A. NJ. E church, on Monday even
ing. the oath of November, the un-
dersigned were appointed com nittee
to devise ways and means Of caring
forany destitute imm'gran who may
come to our State from the South
We do not stop now to discuss the
causes that have led TO this exodus
of our people from the South. We
simply say that no reasonable man
who mingIes and converses with these
people can doubt that in the South
they are defrauded, prosecuted, pro-
scribed, denied their political rights,
and treated in general with the most
inhuman barbarily. They leave their
homes to escape outrages to which no
freeman should be subjected in free
country. They come to Indiana be-
cause they expect to find nobler
civilization, humane treatment, and
protection in their right to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness
In this expectation they will not be
disappointed.
These people are our kindred
bound to us by the strongest ties that
bind men together, hence we feel it
an imperative duty to m AXE provis-
ion for the temporary relief OF any

Theodore Parker,s Christmas PRAYER.

Chiefiest OF all do we bless Thee for that
noble Son of thine born of a peasant mother
and pc. ant sire, who in days of great dark
ness went before men, his life pillar of fire
leading them unto marvellous light and peace
and beauty. We thank Thee for his words,
so lustrous with truth; for his life, fragrant
all through with piety and benevolence; yea,
Lord. we bless Thee for the death which sin
full hands nailed into his lacerated flesh, were
through the wounds the spirit escaped tri-
umphant unto Thee, and could not be holden
of mortality. We thank Thee for the tri-
umphs which attend that name Of Jesus
for the dear blessedness which his life has
bestowed upon us. smoothing the pathway
of toll, so.tening the pillow of distress, and
Frightening the way whereon truth comes
down from Thee, and life to Thee goes ever
ascending up. Father, we thank Thee for
the blessings which this great, noble soul has
widely scattered throughout the world; and
most of all for this-that his spark of fire has
revealed to US Thine cwn divinity, enlivening
this mortal human clod and prophesying such
noble future of achievement here on earth
and in Thine own Kingdom of Heaven with
Thee.

A Plain Duty Of Women.

N Y. Evening Post
The episodes OF misery, defalcation and
death that have succeeded each other in so
apd succession in various parts of the coun-
try almost uniformly confirm the observa-
tions often made in these columns relative to
current habits of costly living and the extern
sive embarrassment TO which those habits
have given birth. The downfall of this OF
that unhappy person may be commonly i'm
puted to speculation, or misfortune in bust
ness or to other causes; but the origin of the
great bulk of these disasters if carefully
sought out and verified, will be found we
believe in extravagant expenditure in every
day life
The financial storm that during the last 10
years has swept over this country has brought
about these calamaties, but in strictness it
has not cauesd them. As with
houses built on sand, the weakness
already existed and awaited but
the strain of the tempest to become deplora
bly, manifest. The custom, to pursue the
metaphor, was to build as if no storm was
ever to be expected. But the only safe GUS
tom is to build as if the storm was imminent
and inevitable. Had our various social edi
fees been constructed on the solid rock of
prudence and far-sighted accumulation the
hurricane might have burst as it would, and
all would have been staunch and strong; or
at least many home would have stood fast
and firm that has fallen in desolation and
ruin.
American women have task set before
them to which they should forthwith put an
earnest and willing hand. 1t is to return so
far a. may be to the old and
frugal ways, the forehanded and
sagacious domestic management of their
grandmothers. By example. no less than
actual saving, they may by this means do
world of good. Let them show their hus-
bands and fathers that they are determined
to oppose wasteful and unseemly outlay as "a
matter of principle. The family may be able
to Stafford" such outlay to-day but may not
be able to afford it to morrow. A useful les
son is to be had here from the king who in
sisted that his children should be taught a
trade, and this applies to girls as well as
boys. No one can positively tell what his
future circumstances may be. Some of the
richest noblemen in England are the poorest
because of the constantly increased demand
upon their resources. Poor Richard may
not be the best guide in the world in every
thing, but he is certainly safe one in do
mestic economy.
There is no earthly need for doing always
what other people do or thinking always
