The negroes upon the plantation where

people, highly conservative. Though
freedmen, they still are attached to many
of the old ways and works of their plan

The work is principally conducted by
the foreman of The plantation, shrewd,

Nose knows the capability of every hand,

have always been in the way If getting
up in the dim gray of dawn and working
two hours, and then coming home and

so they insist on doing now, and their en-
ployers wisely let them do their work in

The average rate of good field hand is

The Children in the Woods.

The Austin (Texas) Gazette narrates
the following melancholy incident of the
death of two children who had become
lost in the woods They were twins
brother and sister-four years old,
named Dunbar, residing in Limestone
county. The Gazette says:
"The day was mid and pleasant, and
they had been playing between the house
and the spriug not far distant where their
mother was engaged in some household
duty. How the little innocents had been
tempted into the forests depths is not
known, but darkness came on, and the
children we're missed and did not return.
The country is sparcely settled, and no
neighbors could be called on TO assist in
search until morning. Tnen the alarm
was given, and numbers joined in tie vain
effort to find some trace of the lost ones.
This was continued until the evening Of
the third day (the scarchers then number

another fact, which, simple as il is, touched
our heart to the core. The shoes and
stockings of the little darlngs had been
taken off, and were found near them. The
explanation Of this 10 our mind is plain.
When ni-ht came on there was sudden
change in the weather. peculiar to this re-
gion, called wet north~r. The effect of
cold on the human system is well known.
The children became more drowsy as the
piercing wind chilled through their tender
bodies, until they could resist the influence

A HAPPY IlEARr.-A little boy came
TO me this morning With broken arrow
and begged me to mend it for him. II
was very handsome arrow, and was the
pride of lis heart, just then, so did not
wonder TO see his lips quivering, and the
tears come into his eyes.
"l'll try to fix it darling. said, " but
I'm afraid l can't do it.'
lie watched me anxiously for a few
moments and then said, cheerfnlIy:
" Never mind, mamma if you can't fix
it, I'll be just as happy without it"
Wasn't that a brave sunshiny heart +?
And that made me think of a dear little
girl, only three years old, whom once
saw bringing out her choicest playthings
to amuse little homesick cousin. Among
the rest wa little trunk, with bands of
gilt paper for straps-a very pretty toy
but careless little FIR d tipped the lid too
far back, and broke i, off. He burst out
with cry of fright, but little Minnie, with
her own eyes full of tears, said:
"Never mind, Freddie just see what
a cunning little cradle the top will make"
Dear little Minnie went to live with the
angels, few years ago, but we have .
great many such sweet memories to keep
Of her.
Keep happy heart, little children, and
you will be like sunbeams everywhere
you go.
