A LESSON OF GRATITUDE.

A gentleman was once making enqui
ries in Russia about the method O.
catching bears in that country H.
was told that to entrap them, a pit wat
dug several feet deep, and after cover
ing with turf, leaves, etc, some fooo
was placed on the TOP. The bear, ii
tempted by the bait, easily fell into the
snare. "But," he added, eff four O,
five happen to get in together, they al
get out again." "How is that 2" asked
the gentleman. "They form sort Of
ladder by stepping on the shoulders Of
each other,and thus make their escape.
"But how does the bottom one get out:
"Ah these bears, though not possess
ing mind and soul such as God has
given us, yet can feel gratitude +; and
they won't forget the one who has been
the chief means Of procuring their lib
erty. Scampering off, they fetch the
branch Of tree, which they let down
to their poor brother, enabling him to
speedily rejoin them in the freedom
in which they rejoiceF Sensible bears,
we would say, and great deal bette
than some people we hear about, vhe
never hep anybody but themselves. :

The co-Educatien Of the Races.

w. B. Derrick, pastor of the Third
street Methodist Church of Ricbmon d,
in the course Of a sermon recently de-
livered upon the subject of the edu-
cation of the colored race, said
sFrom information received the Gov
eminent now contemplates the passage
of bill in which the coeducation of
the races is to be attempted. Now
may be frowned at by my people, but
regardless of frowns and consequences
l will say the moment such an enact.
ment appears on the statute book the
public school system in the South will
receive a blow that will cause its
death, and No power this side of Heaven
can infuse life into its dead carcass.
Then who will be losers, the blacks or
whites? need not tell you. That
leave to you to answer and ponder
over. / am anxious for the days to
come when caste will be abolished 3;
but the teachings of two hundred wears
cannot be forgotten in ten or twenty
years will look forward with
gloomy anticipations if such a law is
passed. Why, how long would such a
system be maintained in the fifteen ex.
slave States? Just as long as would
be required to go through the forms of
law needed to destroy it. Some bring
the lawfulness of the bill in question !;
but all things that are lawful are net
expedient. As negro, l am with YOU
as tar as consistency will allow me.
There are to be found in the South
over one million of colored children at
tending schools. Are we prepared to
furnish means to continue their educa-
cation when these States refuse to
impose taxation for school purposes,
which they will surely do? In Vir
ginia there are $4,000 colored children
attending the public schools What
will become of them! If the govern
ment will furnish US new props to the
present system, so that when the old
ones ere removed we need not suffer.
let it come. But see no such quar-
antee. l have heard of no such prom
ise We are now passing through one
>ef the most solemn periods of our ex-
istence. The education of the rising
generation is matter of no small i'm
portance strike it now and it will take
another generation to cure the injury.
| am not discussing the civil rights
l am discussing the thing pertaining
to our future welfare Education and
Wealth will rule. Tell the Govern
ment to give us surety that when our
present system is abolished they will
provide for us, and that ought to be
done at once, for time is too precious
to be wasted in experiments"
