NEGRO THRIFT.-A notable instance OF
negro enterprise is given by a Tennessee
paper. Three years ago three colored men
Manuel Persons, Moses Persons, and Ad-
olson Lewis-bought a farm about six
miles below Somerville, containing near
200 acres, for which they agreed TO pay sS,-
800 in annual nstalments-one-third ofthe
sum at each payment. Atthis da'e The last
cent has been paid, and they now hold a
good title to the farm. They started with
no capital except five mules. They had TO
buy everything else, and in addition sup
port their families. They psrforlned all the
work themselves.

The shOrtcst Way Home.
"The shortest way by half mile
come so very often by It
Is up the roa I, across the stle,
And through the meadow. Shall we try 2"
The days were not without charm
when, talking soft and looking silly,
Ny love and I walked arm in arm,
Ind lanes were lone and fields were Silly.
We found so many things 10 say
That alwAys, in the shiny weather,
We took the-well, the shorter way,
To be a longer time together.
We talked about Cbut, goodness knows
Our topics Of confabulAtion)-
About the weather, suppose,
The crops, the harvest, and the nation.
Al all events, although the talk
Was neither wise nor witty,
We ended each successive walk
with "Home already-what pity"
We might have lost a little ground
Through coming by the road selected,
But both agreed that we had found
The Journey shorter than expected.
Can Lifes experiment support
The paradox that Love proposcs7
Does any path seem very short,
Unless 1t be path Of roses7
We seldom ind the nearer way;
And II we hit upon and take it,
BY creeping ON from day to day,
1t seems AZ long as length can make it.
The road to fame is never brief,
The way to wealth is duh and dreary;
All earthly routes in my belief,
Are very long aud very weary.
Nay-ons that leads through care and strife
Is short, when mortals once begin it;
We take the "near cut" out Of life,
Although we take the longest in 1t.

THE AFRICAN PIoMIEs.-The represen-
tatiyes of the newly discovered tribe of
diminutive negroes seen by Bayard Taylor
in Egypt were two, one of them twenty
years old and the other ten or twelve.
The Khedive first gave Mr.. Taylor an ac-
count of them, which was verified by in
spection. The older proved to be 46 inches
inches in hight, the legs being % inches,
aud the body with the head "a, which is
somewhat better proportion than is usual
in savage tribes. Head and arms were
quite symmetrical, but the spine curved in
remarkably from the shoulders to the hip
joint. The boy was 43 iuches high, with
the same general proportions. The weight
OF the older was judged TO be about Go
pounds. At recent meeting of the Egyp-
tian Institute it was stated that the Ian
guage Of these pigmies has no resemblance
10 that of any other in Central Africa. They
come from an equatorial table-land, and
the Khcdive had learned from his soldiers,
who had captured these specimens of the
tribe, that they are quite warlike, and by
no means despicable foes TO their larger
negro neighbors, since they are active as
apes and difficult 10 find among their ma

clergyman ofSt. Albans, and wife ofa Cam
bridge professor, entertaining less strin-
gent views on the temperance question
than are commonly held by her sex, has
nut them into practical shape by forming
society and adopting a creed which teach
es that the mlder forms of liquor should
not be clsssed with the fiery kinds that
beer drinking and beer galleries should be
countenanced by young ladies; that women
should drink malt liquors instead Of teai
and that the total abstinence pledge is "a
stigma upon the community and direct
accusation against the wisdom and morale
