In voting upon the negro suffrage question
by the citizens of Washington, the Evening
Star says "at every polling place the best
known and most decided Republicans in the
city voted an open ticket against negro suf-
frage, thus proclaiming that, like their fell
low Republicans in Connecticut Indiana,
Wisconsin. Iowa, and elsewhere, while will
ing to grant the negro every right due him
before the law, they are not prepared to
make a farce of the right of suffrage, by
giving il to an ignorant mass Of negroes"

the old man, who advancing to him said,
IN timid voice, 81 have come back TO
tell you that | am guilty of lie. In
saying that had no other property about
me, L did not remember, in my fear at
being attacked, that | carried a few gold
pieces in the lining of my cap, which

But ! would rather die than have a lie

taking it out of his cap.
None Of them dared to touch It. so
much were they surprised at this strange
man who seemed TO them almost n super

made on them, he continued, in solemn
tone, 81 have lived long, and expect TO

for Gods Word says we must neither lie
nor deceive. 1t is sad thing to live

Some of the men endeavored to make
a jest OF these words, but in vain their
guilty conscicnces accused them of habit

became conscious of my sin, was mser-

with the rest and refreshnent he so much

not many months after, he never omited
to pray for that wild rubber-ba and he

A Tale of the Black Forest.

Many years ago there lived in village
near the famous Black Forest a worthy
old pastor. His life had been spent IN
doing good, i'll helping the poor, and com
torting the unhappy; and now in his old
age he was calmly waiting the summons
to his eternal home. Wishing while still
able to travel, to visit widowed sister.
who with her children lived at consid-
cradle distance, and to give them small
sum Of money which he had saved, he
set out one fine autumn morning, hoping
to arrive before nightlall ut his sisters
cottage. Ills path lay through portion
OF the forest; and as he looked up to the
clear blue sky, visible through the still
thickly- covered branches, his heart rose
in Thanksgiving 10 the God of Nature.
who mad so graciou,ly preserved him so
many years. Suddenly he WAS surround
ed and seized by band of fierce looking
men, who seemed to have sprung from
the ground, and with threatening words
demanded money
Trembling, he delivered up his little
travelling bag, telling them to take all he
had. After emptying it of the few ar
tcles it contained, the chiet of the robbers
seized him roughly, and asked whether
he had amy valuabes on his person. Still
trembling he answered "No.' With d
scorniul laugh the robber set him free.
Fear seemed to have quickened his steps,
and sooner than he had believed it pos
sble he found himself on the outskirt of
the wood, and not far from his sisters
dwelling, where he hoped in the pleasure
of the meeting to forget his misfortune.
Then for the first time he thought of
the money which he carried inside the
lining Of his black velvet cap. lie said
to himself, it is certainly sin to steal,
but it is also sin TO tell lie. Am |
not as bad as they how could | die hap
PLY with lie on my conscience! After
few minutes delibcration, he turned
back, determined that, cost what it would,
he would restore peace to his mind BY
telling the robbers what he had done,
The moon had risen before he reached
the spot where he had been attacked, and
by It's light, he saw several of the band
sitting on the ground smoking their long
meerschaums and laughing over the con-
tents of his knapsack which lay near.
One of them held in his hand silver
bound and clasped prayer book, pne of
