est. Now as compared with the interest
OF this great aud growing region, tat Of

cred in the adjustment Of such question.

education in his youth, VIC have al
ways been the last to ceusnre him
for his misfortune, but when he is
thrust into positions for which he
is totally unfit, then that sad ignor-

imposition on the public. The wri-
ter OF the above letter fills an i'm
portant position. He has the su

is unable TO even write q short

not soimportant who freed you,
as it is how you use your free
dom. IF you do not show that
you are competent to act as
freemen, tits so much the worse
for him who freed you, and so
much the worse for you who
have been freed.
You are free, and not simply
free from the restraints ofslave-
ry, but you are free to act, to
buy and to sell, to vote and to
hold Office, to sit upon jnries
and enjoy all the rights, civil.
legal and political, of any other
citizen.
What matters it then who
freed you?
The questions for you to set
tie are
1. Are you worthy of free
dom2
2. As You are free, whose
aid and friendship benefit you
most7
A freeman is one who owns,
not simply mis- body, but also
his minds one who acts and
thinks for himself, fears no one,
and does what he does opely.
He is not ruled by any one, but
rules himself. He may and
ought to listen to reason, but
exercises the right of judging
and acting for himself. When
he comes to vote, he votes as his
"head men" dictate. He has
the right to vote because it was
believed he'had mind enough to
decide how he should vote,
without dictation from any one.
If the.freedmen, being free, are
worthy of freedom, they must
show the fact by acting indie
pendent of all dictation. They
must show that they believe in
freedom, and not in slavery, the
worst form of which is slavery
of the mind. They must act
for themselves, and think for
themselves. They must recog,
nize no masters, or "head men,"
but themselves. Only bad men
will mislead them, and it is
only bad men who will try
to lead them contrary to their
own interest," [Ouachita Tele-

BELFAST.-ThiS place is the
principal town in the country of
Antrim and province of Ulster in
Ireland. 1t is situated ut the
mouth Of the LagIn, at the head
of what is called Belfast LOugh,
twelve miles from the Irish Sea,
1Ol miles north of Dublin, and
100 northwest of Liverpool. The
site of Belfast Is only about six
feet above the sea level, the
ground being mainly alluvial de
poSit redeemed by the energy of
man from the adjacent marshes.
The surroundings of the place on
the land side are quite pictur-
eSque; two ridgeS-DariS and Cave
hIIl-riSing respectively to the
heighth of l,567 and 1,1S5 feet.
Belfast boasts OF great antiqui.
ty, having been IA point ofsome i'm
rortance as early AS the thirteenth
century. In the fourteenth it
was captJred and destroyed by
Edw. Bruce and speedily recover
ed, and in 1911 received royal
charter. Business of all kinds
flourish here, though the princi-
pal manufactures are cotton and
linen. In 1853 there were no
less than thirty-three steam spin
ming mills, giving employment to
$1,000 hands. The registered
shipping of the port is not far
from 800 vessels, and forty regu-
lar steamers run to the cheif ports
OF England and Scotland, as well
to Dublin and Derry. The main
streets are spacious and cleanIy,
the public aud private buildings
are OF handsome design and sub
stantial construction, and the
SuberbS are adorned with numer
oHS beautiful villas and cottages
belonging to the wealthier classes.
Belfast is governed by a corpora
tion of ten aldermen-one acting
as mayor-and thirty councillors. 1t
sends two members to Parliament.
The population is in the neighbor-
hood of 1O0,OOO.-[Missouli Re-

PUT IT DOwN.-YOuug man,
why will you do itl You cannot
afford to drink. That single glass
of whisky that You take cost Won
only twenty-five cents, does it?
Let us see. 1t cost your father a
shudder. 1t cost your mother a
heart ache. 1t cost you, the loss
of your purity. 1t digs deep into
your manlinesS. 1t cost Your
young friend, perhaps, his soul.
for he followed your example. 1t
countenanced a traffic in human
lives and soul. 1t dishonored
God. 1t helped on the flood tide
of drunkenness in which our land
is drowning. 1t "put an enemy in
your mouth TO steal away your

way for another drink, and that
for another, and that for another
still, and these for numberIeSS 9th

ADVICE.-YOung man don't
get too foxy. If you happen to
get in possession of a few dollars
act just as you did before you got
them. Don't swell up and burst.
Ii you have a good share of brains
you wont do this; you will remem.
Der that neither money, clothes or
good looks make the man, and
that worth is as often GRABBED in q
ragged coat as it is in broadcloth.
Don't stand on hotel steps, dang
ling your watch chain and talking
"hoss." Those who load them
selves with airs are the smallest
kind of potatoes and the feWest in
the hill. A fat job often spoils
young men of weak minds, They
Immediately commence to dress
fine, and take great pride in cult
waiting an aldermanic corporation,
and a sporting air. Sensible per
sens are always disgusted with
such actions when they deign to
notice them, which is very seldom.

A Fool FOR LUCK.-John, the
fool of the New York Sun, was
made rich in spite of himself at
Long Branch, and this was the
way it WIS done:
Just as [ was the hungriest,
Longfellow and Harry Basset
were brought out and they went
round the corner like two Colts
revOlvers. All. the nice young
men around me stood up and
bowed and scraped and held ND
one finger as if they were stopping
an omnibus. They all yelled:
GA hundred to eighty on Harry
Bassett." They all appeared to
be so very polite, that L held up
my finger too, and l nodded and
bowed back to all of them. I
never saw such a polite lot of
young men before. You would
have thought | was the Grand
Duke Alexis. kept up the bow
ing just as long as they did, and
pretty soon the race was over, and
| confess [ was agreeably surpris-
ed to see about four hundred
young men file up and each one
chuck a 800 bill into my lap.
Then thought that lot of young
men just about the incest lot of
young men | had ever met. There
| sat with $4,000 in my lap, and
much to my astonishment, L
found that all the time / was
pointing my finger and bowing
back to 'em, darned if / wasn't
taking every darRed bet that was
made, and daTned if | knew it. 1
only had eight dollars in my
pocket, and if | had lost, I'd slept
in an oyster bed that night.n

INDIA RUBBER.-The belt of
land around the globe, 500 miles
north and 500 miles South of the
equator, abounds in trees produ.
cling the gum of ILdia rubber
They CAN be tapped, it is stated,
for twenty successive seasons
without injury, and the trees
stand so close that one man can
gather the sap of eighty in day,
each tree yielding OIL an average
three tablespoonsfuls a day
Forty-three thousand of these
trees have been counted in a
tract of country a mile long by
eight wide. There are in Ameri-
ca and Europe more than 150
manufactures of India rubber ar
ticles, employing some 500 opera
tives and consuming more than
10000, 900 pounds a year, and the
business is consider to be still in
its infancy. But to whatever ex-
tent it may increase, there will
still be plenty of rubber to sup
ply the demand.

They rest in happy silence.
As the shadows deepen fast;
One lives in coming future,
And one in long, long past.
Each dreams of n rush of music,
And question whispered low;
One will hear it this evening,
One heard it long ago
Each dreams of loving husband.
Whose brave heart is hers alone;
For one the joy is coming,
For one the joy has flown.
Each dreams of life of gladness.
Spent under the sunny skies;
And both the hope and the mem'ry
Shine in the happy eyes.
Who knows which dream is the brightest
And who knows which is the best
The sorrow and joy are mingled,
But only the end is rest.
