A magntfcent Aurora.
From the New York Post, Jsruary ).

From the New York Post, January 5.
Those who were fortunate enough TO
watch until a late hour this morning saw
a celestial display which fully repaid them
for lost rest. About four O'Clock heavy
bank of cloud in the northwest was light
ed up as by great fire behind it, and be-
gan to overflow with silvery margin OF
light. Short columns OF white haze ap-
reared to the north and west, and gradu-
ally extended their base around ba!f the
horizon, trembling upward towards mid
heaven. where vast crimson spaces gloWed
upon their SUBMITS. Soon after i've o.
clock tho glory of the scene was at it's
highest, streamers shot brilliantly to the
zenith, and patches of blood-red fire COW
cred half the sky. To the first glance one
startled from sleep at this hour, it seemed
that the city must be in flames. No perfect
corona was formed in the zenith, but the
Pickering towers OF light mingled the'
SUBMITS curiously there about ten min
utes after five, aud then the whole scene
rapidly faded away.
| The green and purple masses Of hgh'
which in the great aurora OF 1888, con
trasted so magnifcently with the gold o.
the horizon and with the silver streamers
were not seen this morning; but the dis
play, as d whole, was quite equal to any

Labor in the soutl2-IfirIng Hands i'm 1870

From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, Dec. 80.
1t is remarked that not one tenth the
number Of field hands are seen upon the
streets this Christmas as were any former
since the war. They are far less rowing.
They are getting more settled, and hndlng
out that yearly changes from one planta-
ton to another do not pay. Thousands OF
them are becoming landholders upon a
small scale-that is, proprietors are giving
each head Of family two or three acres OF
ground upon which they have erected
house, fenced in, and are cultivatlng gar
dens, raising poultry, hogs, &c. All euch
have no sort of disposition to leave and
hunt other places. By this wise policy the
planters are obtaining leases upon which
| to make future calculations-are attaching
the freedmen to their possessions This
| is the plan worked upon for thousand
years in England. It is the germ here'
but will eventually take that course.
| The prices paid for hands are Sl5O for
number one men, $12O for number two,
$50 for women. and in that proportion fo1
half-grown boys. In contracts upon shares
one third Of the crop is given to the freed
men.
Iu this connection it may be remarked
that, as general rule, men who deal Justly
with them have little trouble obtaining E
full supply. Every available hand II

The xta.ers OF the stranger.

Ihe Rev. CHARLES Z. Deems, d. D., of
the North Carolina Conference Of the Me
thodist Episcopal Church South, is en-
gagged in good and important work in the
city Of New York as pastor of the Church
of the Strangers, a church the name Of
which in the city of New York will indi-
cate pretty clearly its character, its work
and its object. In connection with this
church there isau organization OF Christian
women-"Tho Sisters Of the Stranger
aided by ChristiGu men, the object OF
whose work is to give help of every practl-
cable kind to those who are Strangers
money help where needed, and when there
is anything i'll the treasury. The assocla-
ton cares for the sick, puts strangers IN
the way of employment, and obtains legal
advice when needed. There is a pleasant
room to which strangers are welcome every
dog, where they may read, talk or wllte.
The first directress is Mrs. DR.. Deems, No.
20 East Ninth street, New York. The
treasurer is Miss Sturtevant No. 40 Bible
House, to whom money and packages OF
clothing should be sent. The association
is admirable in plan and purpose, and
needs only more means to make il of large
value to every stranger in tho great

The Impress Eugene has returned home
from new Egypt to new France. In
that Eastern land she personlhed with
Infinite grace and charm the dalntlest
and most delicate civilization OF Western
Enrope. Wherever she appeared her
rracinus presence was hailed as the hap
piest of atlpuries aud her winning smile as
the sweetest of benedictiOns upon the
great enterprise Of her kinsman's genius.
& To what ill chance must we
attribute tile 81 critice of this estlmable
advantage? How happens it that this lady,
exempt by birth. and by her earlier for
tunes, from the perilous and bitter lsoia-

hands-all her energy gone, and
all her powers of mind and body
Frustrated utterly, so that without
any difficulty she was placed in
pOst-chaise, and taken, not to the con-
vent from which she had escaped, but
to another, famed for the strictness
of its discipline, and there she still
remains, if death has not set her
free. Who shall say what agonies
of mind and body have been inflicted
upon her? No human tongue will
tell, nor pen will write, what ber
tortures have been, for the high walls
and barred gates of the prison-house
keep those secrets well but the all
seeing eye of the great Being has
seen it all, and His ear has heard the
utterance Of her despair. "Ven-
geance is mine; | will repay" saith
the Lord. But God will not hold
those guiltless who, having the pow
er to prevent such cruel atrocities,
permit them to go unchecked, and
who even uphold Church whose tyr
ranny has been the nightmare of ages.

The Real Danger.

"Regret! remorse! shame! We three
hell-hounds that ever dog my steps and
bay at my heels" Such was the Ian.
guage Of Robert Burns to Mrs. Rid.
del. At an entertainment at her
house the night before, he had drank
to excess, and proved that an iLtox.
icated man is the vileSt of beasts" -
He hastens to send a frank and beau
tifully written apology to Mrs. RiddeI
and the ladies present. To the gen
tlemen he makes none, but insists that
they have no right to blame him be-
cause they insisted on his drinking
more than he chose. Not in the hab-
itual, voluntary indulgence in that
which destroys, but in the last glass is
the sin.
Il would give a thousand dollars
if Charlie could stand as much whis-
ky as | can said a father of his son.
Hoary with years, an inordinate drink
er all his life, yet his legs failed him
not. His son, not half as old, had
been in the gutter, was enduring the
agonies Of a second attack of the de-
lirium tremens. Wherein lies the sin
W h a constitutes drunkenness p
Where is the real danger? Moderate
drinking respectable, is the doctrine
that is hurrying so many into drunk
ards grave. There is something fas-
cinating in the first indulgence in a
social glass. The wretched, bloated
sot is repulsive, sickening. Heis pit
led, despised. His influence is moth
ing. The respectable drinker is the
really dangerous character. He is ge-
NAL, companionable, enticing. He
controls himself, be walks upright, the
drunkard is beneath him. You will
be like him; you yield like him; you
are doomed.
One glass upsets the son, but the
father endureS them hourly and lives.
Many men drink for years and avoid
drunkenness. Few men are habitual
drinkers who do not, sooner or later,
become habitual drunkards. Appetite
eventually conquefs. Let society
sFow the same disapprobation for first
indulgencies, as for subsequent excess
es, and step is taken for suppre8sing
the evil. If man deliberately throws
himself into the rapids above the falls,
not the flowing with the current or the
gliding over the falls constitute the act
of self destruction. He was lost from
the beginning.
The real danger and sin is not in
taking the last glass that completes
the overthrow of reason, but in be-
ginning the indulgence8 which must
eventually end in destruction This
is the battle ground. Here the line
must be drawn between temperance
and dissipation. To justify or excuse
occasional or moderate drinking, is to
join the enemy's ranks. The young
man is half lost who sees shame only
in the excess. He sleeps OIL, at the
beginning of the fire, when little
water would quench it, and he wakes
to find the building in flames ana the
roof fallen in.
