Dent say that, Patty STAN.
, mered Morton, stretching his hands
out in eager, despairing entreaty.
But this only gave Patty the greater
assurance that little decision q,
her psrt would make him give up
his Methodism.
Il do say il, Morton, and / will
} aere,. take it back" There was a
sternness in the white face aud a
fire in tho black eyes that left Nor
ton no hope.
/ But he straightcncd himself up
now to his full six feet, and said,
with manly stubbornncss: "Then.
Patty, since you make me choose, 1
shall not give up the Lord, even for
you. But" he added, with broken
voice. as he turned away, ssmay God
help me to bear it.
| All, Matilda Maria! if Morton were
a knight in arnor giving up his ladye
love for the sake of monastic re-
ligiousness, how admirable he would
be! But even in his homespun he is
man making the greatest OF sacri-
Aces. It Is not the gsrb or the age
that makes sublime souls offering
of heart and hope to duty. When
Morton was gone Lumsden chuckled
not a little, and undertook TO praise
Patty for her courage; but ! have
understood that she resented his
compliments, and poured upon him
some severe denunciation, in which
the Captain heard more truth than
even Kike had ventured to utter.
Such are the Inconsistencies OF wo-
man when her heart is wounded.
1t seems trifie To tell Just here.
when Morton and Patty are in trou-
blc--but YOU will want to know
about Brady. He was at Colonel
Whcelor's that evening, eagerly
telling Of Morton's escape from
lynching. when Mrs. Wheeler ex.
pressed her qualification that Morton
had ceased to gamble and become !
Methodist.
"Mithodist9 He's no Mithodist."
"Ycs, he is," responded Mrs.
Wheeler, 'shis mother told me 50,
and what's more, she said she was
glad of it," Then, seeing Brady's
discontinue, she added: "You didn't
get all the news that time, Mr..
Brady "
"Well me dair madam, when Tn
admitted to family irtervoo. it's
not proper fer me to tell all / heerd.
l didn't know the fact was made
public yit, and SO l had to denoy II.
It's the honor Of Oirish gintleman,
We know"
What journalist he would have
made.

This is the way the leading party
uaper in Democratic Delaware-the
home of the stocks and whipping
posf--concludcs a shrek for State
Rights. The Delaware Democrats
applaud their Iowa brethren, but de-
ride their subterfugcs IN the matter
Of name and their squeamishness
about such other fundamental princi.
pies as arc referred to in the rcsound-
ing paragraph which we quote as fol-
lows.
"Undcr Democratic rule our con.
stitution was not only the guide fof
the footsteps Of our highest officials
and statesmen, fixing the limits be-
yond which they dare not tread, but
"was fixed in the affections Of the
people from whose choice it sprung"
Under Republican rule it has become
but the patch work Of Republican
tricksters, with almost every trace Of
its beauty obscured by the shadows
of the negro, the hopes Of political
advancement, and the cmoluments OF
office. We warn our fellow white
men who are being seduced into the
meshes Of negro consponionship,
stake heed to your ways,' ''for who
shall be able to see who shall be af-
ter him" Take care that you do not
so dcmoralize your children by COM
mitting them 10 coaspaniotship with
negroes that their future course in
life shall ''bring your gray hairs in
sorrow to The grave" or, if this
should not be the case, the children
into whose tender minds you ought
to have in the memories Of parents
who, for the sake of temporary ad-
vancement and the spoils Of Office con-
tributed to place them under the ban
OF negro rule and committed. their
posterity to the demoralizing infuen-
ces of negro companionship.
Our limits in this issue will not al
low us 10 dllate upon tho subject, but
we intend, in compliance with the
sugges ion Of the contemporary above
referred 10, TO keep this subject be-
fore the people, and although The sug.
gestion alluded to may have been de-
cisively made, our own sense Of duty
to our own race, to our children and
their posterity, will lead us to contin-
tinuc to battle against negro rule and
negro compnnionship, no,withstand
ing such course may bring down mp
on our humble heads the wi,hering
sarcasm Of contemporary who was
the first in this State to raise the
standard of negro rule and negro
coDpanionship, but against whose ad-
vice and remonstrance the white men
Of Delaware have continued to swell
at each succeeding election the con-
tinually increasing majorities Of the
Democratic party. To white men
we appeal again, and say, raise high
your banners and never lower them
one inch until every honest member
of your own race shall find shelter
beneath their ample folds and until
