LOVES WISDOM.
BIZ MARY e. BRADLEY,
lin Applcton's JournAl.]
Once in the idle days
When "Youth, the DREAM" was substance
in possession,
T knew BY heart the rare and rapturous
ways
Wherein Love seeks expression
The passionate delight
OF clasping hands and interchanging
glances,
The hopes that autter to such airy height,
The fear that hope enhances
I knew them allah, me
And, even yet, some chance association
Has power to thrill that chord of men,
DRY
TO subtle, sweet vibration.
But Youth has flown away,
As Life attests with melancholy clcarness;
I could not waEcn in one heart to-day
That old s'desire for nearncss."
Nor would Lii I could
I am content at last with surely feeling -
That Love itself is the srpremest good,
And not Loves sw:c: revealing.
Therefore I make nc sign,
I seek no answer, and norecognition;
The simple joy of loving-that is mine,
And brings its own fruition.

THE WAR or RACE!S.'
from Harper's Weekly.l

lirom Haiper's Weekly.1
The "war of races" at Austin, in
Mississippi, began, as usual, by an
outrage upon tho part of a reckless
white MAJ who shot q colored man.
The testimony Of experience is con-
elusive that the colored race in this
country is not aggressive, murder
ous,: or disorderly, and that, as in
the massacres at New Orleans and
Memphis, soon after tie war;, the
first guilt Of blood is, almost with
out exception, upon the race That
calls itself superior: 12deed, the
,nildness Of the colored race has
been accounted its weakness. IN
1871, as many Of Our readers will
remember, there vas gyeat public
excitement oyer the case of the brig
Creole. She sailed from Richmond
to New Orleans with u cargo Of
slaves. Nineteen OF them rose, took
possession Of the brig, and carried
her into Nassau. A slayo-dealer'
YVES killed in the struggle, and sew
eral OF the crew wounded. The
sla7cs had all the whites if their
power, but they did only what vas
necessary for their freedom. The
difference between their conduct and
that to which they had been sub
.jected by the, whites was sublime.
2>qtt they; were denounced by Cal
houn and Benton aad Webster as
:" murderers and nutineers., If
they were so, what were Washington
and Warren? Il they. were so,
what were the men who were car
rying them to the shambles in Now
Orleans?
Just before, in 1889, occurred the
CO. e Of tie Amistad. Against Sp IN
ish law a cargo OF slaves stolen
from Africa was landed in Havana.
and was tr%anshipped in the Amis-
tad to Principe. The Africans
rose, as Americans would have

toward the promised supper in tn
kitchen, he muttered to himself
mighty sorry I lef' the ole place

"ancient regime" the race that has
come up out Of the house of bond.
age, which with the virtues and i'm.
perfections pertaining to their for
mer condition.; their child-like
ignorance and apathetic patience
their humility and trained capacity
fo: labor, have c~onjointly served to
carry them creditably through a
! period Of transition fraught with
trials and dangers. They have
passed the Red Sea in safety, and
yet few more years and the race
Of freedmen itself will have passed
away. We may hatter ourselves
that in their regard the problem is
already and favorably solved.
"In conclusion We may sum up
the results CT our observations in O
brief paragraph:
"Ihere has been a decided i'm
proVeinent in the manners, morals,
and social habits of the colored race
since emancipation, operated by the
simple consciousness Of freedom.
The influence ofbooks and letters
has been most favorable as lar as it
extends, but the schools IRE too few
and too limited in means to cover
SO vast a field. They need rein
forcements both OF men and money.
For a people Gas for an individually
to maintain a status in this country
a fair share of the solid property is
