"WelI,' said the doctor, "if I

your health, will you abstain from
their use?"
'Sure and | will sir"
''How often do you take tea and
cOIee! asked the doctor.
"Morning and night sir.''

you ever experience slight dizzi-

oeratic in its very aim, and in no
respect national or constitutional.
1t used to be, as he would have it,
that "the colored man has no
rights that the white man is
bound to respect but then the
Constitution and man we're
against Us, hut now we have God
and the Constitution ON our side;
then there were two parties III one
race, the white, now there are
three parties in two Faces, the
white and the colored; then it was
the white mans government, but
now it is the government of all
native born and naturalized citi--
zens of every race on the globe.
At one time it was the meanness
of the white man to oppress, and
the safety of the colored man to
submit, but now it is the privilege
of the white man to attempt it,
and the right of tho colored man
to resent it.
That we need improvements
of every discri ption, morally men,
tally, educationally, socially, relig-
iously, civilly and politi, ally, we
fully comprehend, but that the
mean white people, who are abso-
lutely the cause of all our short

recommendations protest, [ bold
