CHOOL BOOKS FOR TRUM-
BULL COUNTY.

Teachers. School Officers and Parents
are requested to read the following recon-
! mendation of school books for use in the
schools of Trumbull County:
WARREN, MAY 81, 1860.
We have long felt the necessity ofa uni
fcrmity of text books in our common schools.
This can be secured and preserved only by
the judicious and decided action of the
boards of education.
Teachers educated in different localities,
have preference for different books. In
the rural districts, these pre- erences fire.
quently lead to unnecessary changes which
involve pareats in needless expense, and
prevent a uniform system of instruction so
essential to the Advancement of the pupils.
We would therefore call the attention of
boards of education to this subject, and
urge upon them the importance of estab-
fishing a system of textbooks. In town.
ships where a uniformity already exists, it
may not be advisable to change, especially
where such a change would be attended
with any considerable expense. In all
such cases we would recommend that the
change be gradual

TO THE MINISTERS OF ZION.

| DEAR BRETHREN:-The election of Su-
perintendent is drawing near. Are we
prepared to meet it? The experience of
years as minister of Zion has strengthen
ed in me the desire to put forth stronger
efforts for the union of our once powerful
connexion. Now, ] wish to address you
as brethren, plainly and truthfully, as one
who desires most earnestly the wei of
Zion.
For eight years we have been divided,
bnt there seems at last to be desire among
the most intelligent to consolidate. Several
still refuse to listen to considerary pro-
posal of union, from reasons well known
to the connexion. But l would say to
such that we are convinced that it is
wrong to give way to senseless prejudice,
AVID altogether injurious to any connexion.
We wonder why the Gospel has so little
effect, but when we turn to ourselves is it
not surprising that it has any effect what
CfCl AC ACdt 70 VI IhCLI Alstf q UCCn
ened against the influence of the Gospel
by the contentious of its professed subjects.
While we cry "Peace Peace p we are d.
vided and quarelling among ourselves.
Hence we may never expect to accomplish
any good until we unite. AS Christians,
we cannot, we must not, we dare not re-
fuse to come together. Brethren, let me
plead with you for the sake of humanity
and the saving of souls-let me plead with
you for the sake of the Masters name,
which we profess to love and trust, to take
into consideration the Importance of con-
sultation, before the General Conference
of 1860. ZION.

A GENERALIZATION

Mr.. EDITOR Six months have rapidly
glided away, and among the events record
ed in them we find there registered the de-
but of the Weekly Anglo-African" in our
city. However rugged has been our tas k,
however often we have been abused and
insulted for insisting in its behalf, and Is
often as we have had doors slammed in our
face, this fact inspires us with bright hope,
that our list now numbers five hundred
regular subscribers, of which seven out of
every ten are ladies.
Feeling satisfied from the support now
given to your noble paper, that by its con-
tinuation our numbers viii greatly increase,
we usher in the new year with cheerful an
ticipations, and free from all doubts. 'As
it is generally acknowledged that we stand
in need of an organ that will develope and
diffuse literally our every sentiment, we
hope for continuation of patronage, and
in conclusion would suggest that each and
every one be not backward in recommend
ing it to the notice of their friends.

On the other hand, where there is an at
tempt made by the elders to set aside the
will of the people by foisting into the pull

it not a stretch of power by no means to be

LETTER FROM WORCESTER.
WORCESTER, Mass, Jan. 13, 1866

WORCESTER, Mass Jan. 49, 1860.
DEAR ANGLo:-This city has a colored
population of about two hundred, and all
appear to be of that intelligent and indus
trious character that distinguishes our peo-
pie in most of the Western and Eastern
towns and cities. They own considerable
real estate, and are engaged in business as
hair-dressers, dyers, and clothes-dressers;
one student at law, young Davis, of Libe-
ria,) an upholsterer, and two draymen, (J!S
R. and R. Fl. Johnson) They have a
small but neat church edifce, capable of
seating congregation of about three hun

Church, and is in charge of Rev. Peter
Ross, who is an able pastor. In connec-
ton with it is good vestry room, in which
the Lyceum meet every Tuesday evening,
presided over by Gilbert Walker. I at
tended for two evenings, and found every
thing going on harmoniously and credita-
bly,, and on one of the evenings, through
the courtesy of the members, was invit-
ed to act as Judge during the discussion of
the question, "Is the term negro rightly
applied to us a nation 7" Both sides
were sustained with skill and ability, and
would have done honor to any class of cit
izens. The decision was given in favor of
the affirmative.

essays, the productions of two young Ia
dies, read before l arrived.
The school privileges of the old "Bay
State" are superior to those of most Of the
other States. They certainly mean equal
ity in this place. !. The district schools,
academies, and the female college are open
20 all. In the latter institution there are
three young colored ladies.

MISTAKES.

1t is mistake for man to begin to
practice economy by stopping his newspa-
per. To do this is to deprive himself and
family of great benefit.
1t isa mistake for any one to suppose
that newspaper can be made exactly
what every one would like it to be- The
general tastes and wants must be coz
suited.
1t is mistake for any one to think that
editors can, by any possibility, admit into
their columns every article that is sent
them. They must often decline contribu-
tions ably written, because space is deman-
ded for something of present interest, Of
which the world wishes to read
1t is a mistake for one who can compose
lines with certain number of syllables to
suppose himself true born poet.
1t is mistake to suppose that editors
have much leisure, lead an easy life, and
are too well paid.

For the Weekly Anglo African
A THOUGHT ON DEATH.
BY CHRISTOPHER BROWN.

Mans structure is composed of dust; his
body is the object of his care, his exertions
are made for its sustenance. But, alas
all that he can do will not prevent its final
overthrow. Death is the end of all men,
the appeaser of all trouble, the reliever of
earthly cares. He enters without permis-
sion, and with frightful gaze looks his
victim in the face, until life dwindles away
into utter insigni6cance, and all that earth
can do is lost in silence and suspense.
How solemn the hour when lite must be-
come extinct-when the grim monster
shall approach with his cold and frigid
form to execute what nature can only per-
form, the last work of mani Then shall
the hope of future life be frightened, or
the sad consequences of sin be brought
before our view; and then shall mortal
power be mouldered into dust, and all that
earth can give be rendered unavailable !!
How dreadful the thought Death /!
death /! when all the brilliant scenes OF lie
must fade as flower, and the gaities of
the world sink into oblivion-when time
with us shall be no more But, ah thy
presence is not dreaded by the Christian;
he sees thy footstep and beholds thy terri
BILE form, and with a placid smile AYERS, "It
is but the messenger of God, who has come
to take me homen Oh, death the Chris
tian's friend, we welcome thee. Now hope
can pierce the glimmering vale, and allthat
has intercepted the Christians view must
disappear, and then with a joyous heart he
can express, Welcome, bright home
home of peace and comfort-let me now
receive my reward !"

AN ALLEGORY.

The devil, says the allegory, once held
great celebration, at which his emissaries
were gathered from every part of the
| world to report what they had been doing
in his service, and how far they had been
successful.
IL" said one, who came up exulting in
his zeal, Il let loose the wild beasts of the
desert on a whole caravan of Christians,
and their bones are now bleaching on the
sands"
"What of that7" said the adversary !;
"their souls were all saved"
"And l." said another, "drovs the hurri-
cane against ship freighted with Chris
tians, and they were all drowned in the
sea-"
"And what of that7' again said the ad-
versary, you did but shorten their way
to glory, for they, too, were all saved"
"And l." said another, thinking he had
done more acceptable work, 81 kindled
persecution against little band of disci-
pies, and, as they refused to abjure their
faith, they were all burned at the stake"
''Fool p said the adversary, in his anger,
"you but sent them to brighter crown in
Heaven"
"And T." said another, Cannot boast Of
much, for have been ten years trying to
get single Christian asleep; but at last l
have succeeded, and he is slumbering
STILL"
"Well done p cries his master; "that is
indeed feat worth achieving and asmile
of cati. IA ction arose IN his lIUs
"And l." said still another-"I, under
one pretense and another, and through
worldly influences, and little temptations,
and gradual back-slidings, have got the
great mass of church to sleep, SO that
they live on about as the world live; and,
what is more, they do not seem alarmed at
their state"
At this the devil shouted, and all the
night stars of hell sung for joy.

9eferreo Correspondence.
COLORED ELDERS
SEEKING WHITE PASTORS FOR COLORED
CONGREGATIONS.
NUMBER THREE.

According to the present constitution of
things in the political and religious world,
prescription is the rule. If you desire the
proof, you have but to go on Gods day to
Gods house, where the Gospel is preached
to Gods people, and there you will witness
the sad spectacle that even in the sanctua-
ry of the Most High Gods children are not
permitted to sit together to worship their
common Parent. The question may be
asked, whose fault is this2 The answer
may be given, it is the fault of the congre-
CATION; or it may be said, it lies with those
who rule in the church. / am inclined to
the latter-thoSc acho rule-the elders, ded-
cons, and minister's and, shuttle the thing
how we please, it will turn up just there;
cry out how we may, the echo will come
back, at is So"
| can conceive that, at the organization
of church, did the minister and elders, or
deacons, determine that no such exclusive
ness should exist in the congregation, far
different state of things would be seen than
the unchristianlike view presented by the
congregations in our churches. The
charge comes home to the rulers of the
churches. Upon their heads with crush
ing truth falls the evil, and they will be re-
Sponsible to God for the alterations, divi-
sions, and acrimony existing among those,
both white and colored, who lay claim as
worshippers and followers of the meek and
lowly Jesus
The power for good or evil upon the
part of our elders and deacons is very evil
dent. Hence, suppose, the exhortation of
Paul to Timothy to clay hands suddenly
on no man" the plain meaning of which is,
that before any man is set apart for holy
purposes he must be known and approyed
"a man whose principles more than his
profession, are understood. Now, to us, in
view Of our prescription, it is of vital i'm
portance that the men who are to rule in
our churches should be well understood,
for they can do much evil to their people.
Take, for instance, Presbyterian church.
1t is well known that in case no pastor be
settled over the congregation, the elders
or sessions possess the power of filling the
pulpit. The people may request them in
congregational meeting, by vote, to extend
an invitation to a minister whom they may
desire to hear; but if these elders are bad
men, or if they are prejudiced against that
minister, they will not invite him, and
aere the matter will rest
Elders are elected to represent the peo-
He; Or in other words, they are their rep
'SSentatives. They should not, therefore,
w anything conflicting with the expressed
~ !" their congregation To do other
aoa would be lording it over Gods herit-
