Truth is immortal: tbe sword cannot pierce it, fire cannot consume it, prisons cannot incarcerate it, and famine cannot starve it.
In one of the earliest trials before a colored jury in Texas, twelve gentlemeu of color were told by the judge to retire and " fiud a verdict." They went to the jury-room. The sheriffs and others standing outside beard the opening and shutting of doors, and other sounds of unusual commotion. At last the jury came back into the court, wheu the foreman rose and said, *' Massa Judge, we have done looking every whar in de drawers and behind the do\ and can't found ao vwdie\ It waio't in de room."
