The Tribune on Free Blacks.

The "Tribune" Of September
22d. 1855, spoke thus of the free
blacks of the North ,..,f1r,lz-i
"Nine.t .tontha Of the free b!acka
have no idea of setting Themselves
to work except as the hirelings or
servitors of white mon; no idea
cf building a church or other seril
ous enterprises, except through
beggary Of the whites. As a class,
the LlIcks are ind ,lcnt, improvi-
dent, scrvile and licentious, and
Gcrrit Smith, il a letter TO Cover
nor Hunt, complained that the
most of them preferred to rot both
physically and morally in cities,
rather than become farmers aud
mecnanics In the country" 3
This is as true now as in 1855,
and yet the Tribune" proposes
that the negroes shall be made, as
far a. law eau make them, the sol
cial aud political equals Of white
men.

A Child Lost.

There is a beautiful idea in the
following, which is clipped from
tho "IIomc Evangelist"
I we'll remembe a night which |
8 ent many years ago in the city
of Buffalo. After retiring to rest.
l heard the ringing of a large hand
hell, followed by the loud cry of IA
human voice. Arising and throw.
ing open the window. | discovered
man riding down the street on
horseback, at a rapid rate, and
stopping at the corner and ringing
his hell y few moments, and then
crliug out in loud and measure ed
tones-"A CHILD LOST! A GUILD
LOST! A little boy four years ola;
had on, when last seen. a small
blue cap, and (snch a: d suclI) IL
dress' '-(giving a description ofit.)
And ;hen riding on to another
corner, he again broke the Stiffness
of the night with the cry: "A CHILD
LOST! A CHILD LosT!' as before. -
Though many peals ago, | still
seem to hear that voice ringing
out its thrilling tones as clear as
upon that lonely night.
And methinks some messenger
of mercy might come down and
stand by almost every house in any
neiglborhood and cry out-"A
child lost! A child lost !'-for yer
lily many of them are lost in a
moro terrible sense than the it,.
stance narrated.
And what is your task, teachers
and parents, but to bring back
these little wanderers to Ito Fa.
theirs told and the Fathers arms =?
Noble mission! GodIike work !!
May you never weary of it.
