Negro Pulpit Eloquencc in New Jersey
1t was not many moons ago that the sa-
bic sons and daughters of Africa, in this
quiet city by the Delaware, were stirred up
to their darkest depths by the expected
advent ola distinguished African pulpit
orator from Pittsburgh. On the dov an
pointed for the holding forth, the pulpit.
stage, erected in a Druid,lile grove near
the city, between two Venerable oaks. was
crowded with the hcralds of glad tidngs
belonging to "dc Messodist episcopal
Church" Beneath and around it lay a
darkness, which, like that of Egypt, might
have been "fclt," and [ may add, unlike
1T, smclt. After the opening prayer by a
venerable preacher, upon whose black
ssconce, the white wool lay in patches, like
hoar frost, young athletic negro, with a
face shining like polished ebony, and the
crisp, short curl ofthc wool only to be seen
in the real Guinea Breed, advanced to the
pulpit desk. He evidently felt that his
fame had gone before him, and he looked
over that dusky mass, now hushcd to adj
mirlng silence at his presence. The sable
ChryS ostom then announced his text, which
came forth sonorouS and strong through
the ivory gateway of the whitest teeth
that ever opened for the admission of " hor
and hominy."
My text, my bruddrcn," said he,

gospel for de day. Put not your trust
in princes"
In most glowing exordium, he cx-
planned the meaning of the word princes
as having reference to " de profanc princes
of dis world for, said he, dcrc are but
two kinds of great men in dc HOLY Book
dat are mentioned holy princes and pro-
fame princes. In de last, my bruddcn, dc
world must ncbbcr put its trust. Why?
because der ways have become corrupted

Nullln could stop dat man He LATED at
de Alps whcndcy shook der frowning brows
at him, and he and his soldiers walked right

could put any faith in Him he cheated ev
crybody as soon as he got chance, when
dc indignant Carthagcniuns cot up muss

pair. And den whar was all his glory
when de Lord struck him down? Oh, NV

did dc Lord punish him? Let dit awful
groan dat went up from de foot of Pompey's
statue answer dat question, when Brutus

sings.
