THE EVENING NEWS.

III EVENING NEWS.
coScxRr.-On Saturday last we re-
ceiv.d an invitation TO attend q concert 70
bs given Sabbath evening, in the Metho-
d;,t Church, Virginia, by the Sabbath
school scholars, which invitation we &C
csn,ed. and a, the time appointed we re-
,.;,sa 70 the church, and found 1t well
sIIod with those who are interested in the
Elevation of morals and the proper culti-
ya,ion OF the rising generation. There
were present some n hundred children,
many of whom took part in the exercises,
which consisted Of singing, declarations,
etc. Several of the children did exceed
ingly well IN the parts they performed,
and. in fact, we may say all did well but
those most worthy Of note were Martha
Andrews and Clara Corrier. The disser-
taaon to the Bible. by three little girls and
boys. was well done. The singing was
very good indeed. especially the manner
in which the piece called "There is a Light
in the Window for Me-" was executed.
The verse was sung by Hattie Emory,
Jennie Ballard and Josie Young, and the
whole school joined in the chorus, and
sweeter music than they made is rarely
heard. Nor have we seen a more success
full entertainment Of this character given
anywhere, or one that seemed to give such
general satisfaction to the large number Of
persons present. The whole affair was
under the direction Of Rev. I. s. Dunn
and DR.. Bird. who are using their utmost
endeayors to make the Sabbath School
under their charge one that shall be inter-
es,ing to the children as well as instruc-
tive. Let parents Of children attend the
school and take their children there with
them. As q twig is bent, so the tree will
grow. Teach a child morality il you
wish to have him make a model man.. In
conclusion, we wish to say that the deela-
nation BY little Maggie Long. Of "The
Blind Colored Standard Bearer" was one
of the most complete things we ever saw.
The child Is but three and q half years
old, yet her articulation was good and ALI
the gestures were perfect. She held In
her hand a small flag, and at the close
waved the starry banner, and gave so
much emphasis to her words hat it was
difficult to keep the audience from ap-
plauding. although a special request to
that effect had been made. We append
the words recited by the little girl, which
were composed by Clarence F. Buhler:
THE BLIND coLoR-BEARER.
Once, As We hailed our volunteers
Returning from the war,
One, blind with honor's noblsst badSs-
A scar In 'front.' Jaw.
But while, as they were boys again,
The gray-bearls seemed TO cheer, Poll.
He, weeping. bowed his head In grief,
That never bowed in fear.
Said I, When Heaven above Ia blue.
And earth beneath 10 green,
With blossoms like the rosy snow.
Ofgardens hung between,
Tis hard you cannot see the flowers
You smell. and birds yon hear"
But that were not enough" he said.
ITO force . soldiers tear.
I'D care not for the sunbsap's lance.
That splinters on the crag;
Or Spring. with beauty on her wlngs.
Could l but SEQ the fagi
Por over many q traitors corpse
I've borne IL; and they say
That all It's stars are back again,
And not u stripe away.
But when I'm mustered out by our
Great Captain in the sky,
Perhaps i may look down and see
