away with the other would be done
away with. The superior competence
OF the white man., which for the pres
emit is undeniable, would be legally
acknowledged while nothing would DO
demanded OF tho black man not ac-
corded by tho man who is white. 1t
will be said, Of course, that the black
man would resent his illegal inferi-
ority;" but We do not find that the
mass OF white women in the States, or
in South Africa, resent theirs, and do
not believe that the black is at heart so
blind to what he feels. as regards all
black men but himself. to DO self
evident truth. We want, in fact, first
of all, to be done with lying about the
matter. The black man has exactly
the same right to happiness, liberty
and the pursuit of knowledge as the
white man, but he has not the same
right TO govern, because he is not so
capable of dong it. Whether he will
become capable we do not know, nor
does anybody else. The experience of
1000 years ia against him, but during
those years he never had the guidance
of another and higher race, and never
accepted a creed which strengthened
him, as Mahommedanism has strength
eped the Houssas, or softened him, as
undoubtedly Christianity has softened
the emancipated blacks Of Jamaica.
1t has been pointed out that 1T is
necessary in any plan OF this kind 10
define "black," or, as be would
prefer to be called, ''man of COLOR"
"a feat which Americans have never
yet succeeded in accomplishing. We
ghould define him MS "a person of
African origin, whose family had not
been crossed twice in succession with
white blood" thus admitting all
quadroons, octorcons, &C., into the
white class. We think it most danger
Gus to exclude them, and believe that
the ineiliciency for which, and not for
color, we would disqualify pure
negroes. does not exist in the mixed
race. They often show, as we are now
seeing in Cuba, and formerly saw in
Hayti, great capacity for leadership;
and their permanent ambition is TO be
registered among white mep. They
would feel exclusion excessively, and
our object is not to depress this or
that race, but to secure the means of
happiness to tho blacks without de-
priving the whites Of that leadership
which it is better they should have,
and whi"h in the long run they will
inevitably take, IL necessary, by the
sword. We want, in fact, Christian
principle and the facts of life to be
thoroughly harmonized; to give up
lying about a non existant equality,
and to put down expressions, but not
variations, of political grade.

On the rear platform of the cable car

man. Who's running this carP'

Say meet fellows like you every
day. You're talking through your hat. /"
"That'll be all right Let me off at
at the next corner"
The short and soft spoken man
alighted, followed by the defiant grin
of the conductor.
When that car reached the limits
station the superintendent Of the place
was waiting for the conductor.
"l've put another man on your car, "
said he. YOU'RE laid off. -
Laid off? What for?"

Next morning as the general solicit

the conductor came into the room and
humbly waited for chance to square

In couple of days the conductor
was reinstated, but the story of his ex-
perience must have been passed around.
One evening the attorney for the COM

front.
Every time the car started it made
sudden lunge AID nearly upset every

10 A roUNG MARRIED COUPLE.


Oh, babes in the wood just married,
And strayed for awhile away
From the world where so long you hav
tarried,
The kingdom of Everyday.
To the wonderful realm of gladness,
Where never u joy is barred,
And no cloud of regret or sadness.
Ere shadows the sky, bright.starred,
Oh, babes in the wood greet you,
Rejoicing in youth and love.
MAY never Il drear day meet you,
May the heavens he bright above,
MAY the earth be forever smiling,
With flowers and the sunshine bright,
Till the day, with its sweet beglnling,
Glides onward to peaceful night.
Oh, babes in the wood may never
The world that you left regain
Its sway DER you hearts, but ever
In paradise you remain;
For the earth that we know has sorrows,
And many Il heart is sad,
But vista of gay io-morrows
Makes your world sweet and glad.

A PARTING.



Months of sunny life and fair
Days that ilitted-none knew where;
Hours of pleasure, hours of pain,
Hours that meier can come again.
They are gone, but do you find
You can leave them all behind?
Come not memories evermore
Drifting round you from that shore7
Words which lessened every care,
Thoughts no other cen could share,
Duties that we ever met
With one thought-can you forget2
Can you calmly thus eiface
From life's tablet every trace
OF the hopes and prayers and tears
We have shared in all these years
Can we all these memories smother,
And "be nothing to each other?"
When for lis lifes task is DER a..
And we tread its paths no more;
When, mid shadows dlmly falling,
We shall hear the angels calling,
AS we calmly stand and wait,
Just outside the golden gate
Then will these dark moments seem
hut phantom or a dream;
In that dawn of purer light
You will read all things Alright;
False words will not seem as true
Till that morn-Adieu Adieu!
