"Now pull it slowly" cried she to her
husband, and she gradually unwound the
string until in reach of her husband.
"Now hold the string fast, and pull itup,"
cried she, and the string grew heavy and
hard to pull, for Tom and his mother had
fastened thick rope to it. They watch
ed it gradually and slowly uncoil from
the ground, as the string was drawn
tighter.
There was but one coil left. 1t had
reached the top. "Thank God! thank
God" exclaimed the wife. She hid her
face in her hands, in silent prayer, and
tremblingly rejoiced. The iron to which
it should be fastened was there all right
but would her husband be able to make
use of i:9 Would not the terror Of the
past hour so have unnerved him as to
prevent him from taking the necessary
measures for his safety? She did not
know the magical influence which her
few words had exercised over him. She
did not know the strength that the sound
of her voice, so calm and steadfast, had
filled him wilh-as if the little thread
that carried him the hope of life once
more, and conveyed to him some portion
of that faith in God which nothing ever
destroyed or shook in her pure heart.
She did not know that as she waited there
the words came over him, why art
thoa cast down, o my soul, why art thou
disquieted within me? hope thou in God.".
She lifted her heart TO God for hope and
strength but could do nothing more for
her husband, and her heart turned to God
and rested on film as on,a rock.
There was :. great shout, He's safe,
mother, he's safe!!" cried little Tom.
"Thou hast saved my life, my Mary"
said her husband, folding hel in his arms.
"But what ails thee? thou seemeth more
sorry than glad about it" But Mary
could not speak, and if the strong arm OF
her husband had not held her up, she
would have fallen to the ground-the
sudden JOY after such great fear had
overcome her. "Tom, let thy mother
lean on thy shoulder" said the father,
"and we will take her home" And in
their happy home they poured forth thanks
to God for his great goodness, and their
happy life together felt dearer and holier
for the perl it had been in, and the near
ness of the danger had brought them unto
God. And the holiday next day-was it
not indeed thanksgiving day.

Another Word of Advice to the
Negroes.

We have frequently endeavored to ad-
wise the well-disposed Negroes in regard
to the true policy for them to pursue;
and, in this connection, we would espe-
cially commend to their serious consid-
Grafton the subjoined words of wisdom
taken from a speech recently delivered at
Holly Grove, Miss, by Hon. ALBERT 6.
BRowN:
Most of you want land: Allow me to
say in all sincerity, as your friend. re-
garding you in your present position,
that is the last thing you do want. If you
had land, what would you do with it?
You would want provisions, plows, hoes,
axes, carts, mules, everything necessary
for carrying on a farm, and where are
these to come from? Now | will tell
you what you want-frst of all, you
want g. years provisions and clothing for
yourself and families, or the means of
buying them. Next you want horses or
mules, then you want farming utensils,
and last of all and most important, some
thing to feed the horses or mules on.
When you get thus equipped, there will
be no trouble about the land. There is
land enough for everybody. If any one
or fifty Of you will come to me next
year with the means of carrying on q
farm on your own hook, | now promise
you land on your own terms.
But understand me. do not agree to
put up houses and fences, sink wells, and
furnish mules, plows, hoes, wagons, fire.
wood, provisions, clothing, and in short
everything to carry on farm, and then
give you everything you make; that
would be setting the Golfer a little too
deep. But if you want land and nothing
else, come on, am ready for you.
have another little piece of advice for
you: When you get land, rs you will
after while, pay for it out of your hon.
est earnings, and then you will feel hap
py in the knowledge that you have not
by fraud or force appropriated other peo-
Piles goods to your own use. / travelled
the other day, with black man who rode
his own horse. He had bought and paid
for him, and admired the honest pride
with which he strobe him. If he had
stolen him he would have skunk away as
thief look to the day when every
honest man among you will own land,
and set down in full security at your
own door, protected by the majesty
of the law. But warn you that
you must WOO the coming of that day
by habits of industry, frugality md
earnest desire for peace and good will
among men.

A Saratoga Story.

A melancholy tale is told here of
young man who came from New York
with hundred dollars and new suit of
clothes. He carried himself in lofty
and famboyant manner, and never felt
himself so much like an aristocrat as
when he was being brushed. He would
stand for several minutes, turning round
and round, apparently in an ecstacy of
felicity, while colored walters whisked
their brushes about his back and should.
ers. He had obtained twenty-five dol
lars worth of new quarters at the Sub
Treasury before leaving, and every time
he was brushed he handed one of these
forth from his vest pocket. He came
upon the Drew, and through the influence
of the stamps was much brushed on the
voyage. He took breakfast, of course,
at the Delevan, and from the moment
when he gave the man o twenty-five cent
piece who brushed him on the steps, the
walters rushed wildly after him with their
brooms; at the office where he registered
himself; at the counter where he checked
his cane; going up stairs to breakfast; ;
coming down again; at the counter where
he got his cane again; and all the way
out to the pavement. When he stepped
from the coach here he had package of
quarters ready in his pocket; and there
was never another man so brushed at
the hotel. He stopped four times from
the door to the Office enjoying the salts
faction of the brush, and distributing quar-.
tiers. He was brushed up stairs and
down stairs, in the halls and in the
parlors, in the piazzas, in the grounds, in
the billiard rooms, and in the barber
shops. The walters watched him, laid
wait for him, 9uarrelled with each other
for possession Of him. And the more he
was brushed the more lofty he carried
himself. They never brushed him any
where but in the small of the back and
on the knees of his pantaloons. The re-
suit was that in three days those portions
of his attire were threadbare, and the
next day new hand al the barber shop,
desirous of earning his money, brushed a
hole in his coat. The young man looked
at his pocket book and found that he had
only just money enough to pay his bill
and his fare home, to say nothing of a
new suit Nearly all of his new stamps
had been spent solely on the luxury of
the brush. He gave notice at the office
of his departure, but he was brushed to
the last. They brushed him out to the
stage, and one stalwart colored man,
growing facetious with him now that he
was leaving, gave last stroke and tore
the young mans coat straight down the
middle Of his back. Eie put on his duster
and was seen no more. But the walters,
counting their earnings, found that in the
aggregate they had received s2l.25 for
brushing that unfortunate young man.

A Burglar Trapped.

The New York correspondent of the
Troy Times gives the following:
was informed of a case in which a
burglar was handsomely trapped a few
nights since. The house of a resident of
Brooklyn was entered about midnight,
and the occupant, Mr., awakened.
As he arose in bed he saw standing in the
room rough looking man with a blud-
geon in his hand. "What do you want
here 2" was the inquiry of Mr.
81 want your money or your life, "
suddenly replied the thief.
"You do, eh 2" exclaimed Mr., and
he slipped his hand under his pillow and
drew forth q splendid revolver "You
do, ch?' he repeated, and sprang from
the bed, presenting the revolver at the
,ad of the thief "Now, sir, want
your money or your !ife," he continued,
still presenting his revolver.
The thief comprehendcd the situation
at glance" and fairly "shook in his
boots" as he stammered, 81 will 90 out,
sir !"
"No you won't until you give me
your money-then you may go!''
The thief drew FROM his pocket ten
dollars and handed the sum over.
"Now, | want your coat" This was
delivered. "Now, will take your shirt
boots, and pants" The thief hesitated.
elf you don't take them off instantly, |
will shoot you dead where you stand
and throw your body out of the window.
The thief. complied, and stood naked.
"Now you may leave" REPLIED" by
the same way you came-through that
window, down the shed and over the fence.
And if ever see you within fifty yards
of this house again, day Or night, I'll shoot
you dead-so help me God!"
The thief took his departure, and when
related his adventure next morning
to the family, who were entirely undis.
turbed by it, he was obliged to exhibit
his captured clothing and money to. in
duce belief.

A CUTE PREAcuER.-The pastor of a
church, not thousand miles from Bridge,
port, says the Bridgeport Standard, was
once desirous that the Conference should
meet at his church. The people being
aware that they must board the ministers
during their stay in the city, were quite
averse to their coming. At a meeting to
consider the subject of giving the invita-.
ton, the pastor stated the proposition and
said:
Gail those in favor of inviting the
brethren here will say yes-all opposed
no."
He then proceeded to put the question
but not a yes was heard. Whereupon
he paused, looked around and remarked
"Sience gives consent. The Confer.
ence will come"
At the concluding meeting, when a col
lection was to be taken up for the visiting
brethren, the pastor told his people that
it was necessary for all the ministers tc
be back to their respective focks; that
they had no money to 60 with, and must
stay in their present quarters till the cash
was raised. The dilemma was either to
board their visitors gratuitously, or pay
their fares home. We can guess how they
solved the problem.

And you are likely to go down.

coats, he would say to him that he had a
coat which he had given gentleman to

siderable advance on the usual price; and
he never comes back to see about it.
