The Brazier and His Dog.A Brazier had a little Dog, which was a great favorite with his master,and his constant companion. While he hammered away at his metals the Dogslept; but when, on the other hand, he went to dinner, and began to eat,the Dog woke up, and wagged his tail, as if he would ask for a share ofhis meal. His master one day, pretending to be angry, and shaking hisstick at him, said: "You wretched little sluggard! what shall I do toyou? While I am hammering on the anvil, you sleep on the mat, and when Ibegin to eat after my toil, you wake up and wag your tail for food. Doyou not know that labor is the source of every blessing, and that nonebut those who work are entitled to eat?" From Aesop's Fables |
We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. ... It is time now to write the next chapter-and to write it in the books of law.
