Do swidgel rightses bill am passed, and now dey can't refuse ' To pass a culled gemmon to the front seats in the show; I - Or to let him in de big hotel and de best i room on de flo*. "I golly, Undo Hannibal, dis niggah's happy now? ? - Ho'sgWine to sell hismuleand cart, and, if lie can, his cow; And he's gwine to take de money and dress Miss Dinah gay, And sit among the white folks eb'ry oh en in' at do play. "I used to be. so 'ligions, and pray dat when I died, I'd go to Hoben and fly around among dc Bwanctified; But Pso not. so anxiouB now, you sec, since I hab got my rights? For Heaben was nuffin more to mo dan equality wid do whites. "You's silent, Uncle Hannibal?is ydu ailin' anywhar? F'r'hopn youhadn't ought to stanxl out in ? the eoeniu* air"? "No, chile, Ps well as nshill; but it grieves me through and through, To thinL: how littlo wisdom lies in what | you's gwine to "do. * "Dem great folks up in Washington, who passed dis triflin' bill, Hab forced upon de Suddern folks a mighty bitter pill; But while it harrows up dar souls and stirs dar fiery blood, It don't do us poor culled folks a singlo ounce of good. "You keep your horse and cart, my chile, and don't you sell your cow,. But Btay at home, if you are wise, and follow up de plow? Do field's de theatro for you, and if you tend it well, You'll live as good as white folks live, and have some corn to Bell." She May Not Have Loved Him. A woman never quite forgets the j man who has once loved her. She may not have loved him; she may, indeed, have given him the "no" instead of the "yes" he hoped for; bnt the remembrance that he de? sired a "yes" ; always softens her thoughts of him, and would make him, wore he reminded of it, a friend forever. There may be girls who jest of discarded suitors; but they are generally very young, and the wooing has been something that did not betoken much depth of tenderness. There are mercenary offers, too, that only awaken scorn and hate in the woman wooed for money and not for herself; but,! really, to have touched a man's heart, is something not to be for? gotten while she lives. m ? m - A worthy old farmer, who was recently being worried in cross examination by a lawyer, at length asked permission to put a question. It was granted, and the privilege resulted in this: "Look here,! Counsellor C-, don't you ask a | great many foolish questions?" A butcher sold a sailor a ham on credit, but finding in a few days he had gone to sea, he growled, "If I'd 'a known that he wasn't going to pay for it, I'd 'a charged him three? pence more a pound-for it, the rascal." ?,' It is hard to do anything with a boy. It is hard to. make him go to bed, .and it iu hard to make him get up. - ii ii i ii iii i.
