THERE is vast deal of a certain kind of
originality about negro composition. Take
this example of an illustration, lately used
by a colored cxhortcr at an evening confer
cncc meeting in the lower part of Phiadel-
phia: "Nly brcdrcn, God bless y6ursouls,

ocean; fortunately, she and her child
fell exactly in the midst of the bonnet
