A LITTLE Cur OF TsARs.-The follow.
ing German legend is from Thorpe's Yuls-
tide Stories:
There was . mother who loved her 6rst
child with her whole heart, and though,
she could not live without it; but the Al
mighty sent q great sickness among the
children, which seized this little one, who
Law very sick. even 10 death. Three days
and three nights the mother watched and
weps and prayed by the side Of her dar-
ling child, but it died.
The mother. now alone in the wide
world, gave way to the most violent and
unmi,takable grief; she ate nothing. or
drank nothing, and wept-wept three
long days and three long nights. This
the mother did without ceaIing calling on
her child.
The third night, as she sat, overcome
with suffering in the place where her child
had died, her eyes bathed in tears, and
faint from grief, the door softly opened,
and the mother started, for before her
stood her departed child. It had become
a heavenly angel. and smiled swestly as
innocence, and was beautiful like the
blessed. It had in its hand . small cup,
that was almost running over, so full it
was. And the little child spoke:
"Oh, dear mother, weep no more for
me; the angel Of mourning has collected
in this little cup the tears you have shed
for me. II for me you should shed but
one tear more it would overflow; 1shall
have no more rest in the grave, and no
Joy in heaven. Therefore, oh, dearest
mother, weep no more for your child, for
1 am well and happy. and angels are my
companions"
I, then vanished. The mother shed no
more tears, that she might not disturb her
child's joy in heaven.

A Teachers State convention. held at
Houston. Texas, in July last, discussing
this subject, came to the conclusion that
I" it is the duty Of Southern teachers to

churches will no longer be burned when
Southern teachers enter the race with the
despised Yankee"
In an address on the subject, this con-
vention says:
"Tns negro is human, and has an In
