TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
A Hint to Exeter Sail. Does human kindness drain its cup For black and whitey-brown, * That still you cry the darkey up, And bawl the planter down. Reason is reason, right is right, v Though all the platform pack Join m the cry that black's so white, And white so very black. Justice demands an equal mind, Unchanged her gauge should be : And as we know that she is blind, Colors she cannot see. Fools think that nature draws her deeds Like lawyers, by the skin : Her acts he only rightly reads Who can read hearts within. Then lay your suit of sables by, Black predilections smother, And listen to the tvhite-wian's cry — " Am not I man and brother ?" That every question, fairly tried, Two sides must have, is true : If this one have its sooty side, It has its white side too. — Punch.
