Little Dents.

There are some people who are very
punctilious about the payment OF
large debts, but little ones they seem
either TO forget or disregard IN
either event they are inexcusahle.
The man who forgets to pay debt
because it is small, is Just as culpa-
bic and full of blame as he who dis
regards it.
Men should be careful about the
little things of this life rather than
the big ones, for the latter class of
objects usually manage to take care
Of themselves. "Take care OF the
pennies and the dollars will take care
Of themselves" is an adage familiar
to everyone, aud If it be true that
man should be careful in the collec-
ton Of pennies, it is equally true shat
be should be careful in dis
bursting them to whom they are due.
The aggregate Of human life is made
up Of little things, each forming a
factor of the whole So with a
mans character; it is the little
things in his life that must indicate,
as so many factors, the nature and
character of the man.
Men should do everything from
principle-do it because it is right
to dc it. IF it is right to pay large
debt then it is also right to pay a
small one. The principle is owe 40
man anything; and to keep this prin-
ciple inyiolate, the minutest farthing
must be paid. Reader, is ii your wish
to be strictly an honest man? Then
pay every deot, however small, to
the uttermost farthing Owe no
man anything Let this be your
motto, and regard it sacredly
through life. But this is not all
1t is not only enough that you pay
your debts, but to carry out tie
spirit and the letter of the injunction
they should be paid promptly when
due. Not the.month after, nor the
week after, nor the day after, but the
very day they become due they
should be paid, however small.

Owl Rights.

In our last issue we barely an
nounced that the Supreme Court of
the United States had decided at
last that the Civil Rights Bill was
unconstit utional. No decision that
las been reached in years, by this
august tribunal, has been received
with such wide spread satisfaction
as the one referred to above. Tha:
the Civil Rights Bill was unconstitu
tional the southern people have new
er doubted from the day OF its enact
ment by corrupt radical congress,
and the only wonder now is that the
Snpreme Court had never passed ad-
versly upon it before. The idea
that hotels, restaurants, theatres and
other pnhlic places should be COM
pelled to receive and entertain ne
groes in all respects as white people
was preposterous-too absurd to
think about, and, as a rule, the ne
grOe6 have had too much sense to ex-
pect such treatment In some of the
northern cities, however, the negroes
appear to be considerably wrought
up over this decision, aud, in some
places, they have called mass meet
ings to express their condemnation
of the said Cortland its ruling.
Bnt for all this, the statute will for
ever remain dead letter upon the
books. In the meantime no power
upon earth viii ever be able to en-
force the idea or intention contem-
plated by the Infamous bill. Civil
rights, in the sense of social equali-
ty, is step that the white people of
this country will never tolerate. Be
it said, however, to the credit Of the
negroes in the south, but few of
them, if any, have ever desired or
sought to thrust themselves forward
upon the social companionship of the
whites. In the north it has been
different Numbers of cases have
come up from time to time where
the negro has attempted to enforce
the conditions of the Civil
Rights Bill upon his radical yankee
neighbor, and it was this contact
more than anything else that inhuenc-
ed the court to pass adversely upon
the bill The evil effects which the
authors of the bill intended should
be felt at the south operated in the
main at the north. It was the eff
feet OF their own wickedness heap ed
upon their own heads-their own
sins returning home to dwell 1t
were well that the negroes recog-
nize their relations to the whites at
ouce. While they Will have the full
est protection OF the law ir the en-
joyment Of all the rights they are
entitled to, this question of social
rights-social eqpality-is one that
the white people will never look up
on with the least degree of allowance
or toleraiion. In other words. the
negro must have no aspirations to
leave his his own proper sphere, the
society of his own color So long as
he recognizes this truth and accepts
it as his destiny he will have no
cause OF complaint, bat, upon the
contrary, will be protected to the
fullest extent Of his rights.
