A Good Country for the Negro.

Sierra Leone is terrestrial paradise
for negroes, where they have almost
everything their own way. In Sierra
Leone negro might assault and half
kill a European, and only be fined a
small sum, but if finger is laid upon a
negro, the fine is twenty pounds. 1t is
no uncommon thing for negro to follow
white man all over the town shouting
after him, "White Niger" which they
consider a most opprobious epithet, and
dancing around with menacing gestures.
All this is done in order to make the
"white niger" lose his temper and
strike the "black gentleman" in which
case the latter Immediately takes out a
summons against his assailant, who is
mulcted out of twenty pounds. AS
large proportion of the fine goes into the
pocket of the person assaulted, many of
these "black gentlemen find that it is
more profitable to provoke white men to
strike them than to work for living.
In this negro Utopia" instead of the
negro being the miserable, down-trodden
wretch he is generally depicted, he is
defer. 1t is not surprising, after all, that

of his own Importance. He sees large
fleet kept up for the purpose of prevent
ing his c0untrymen being carried into
slavery; he knows that the Colony of
Sierra Leone is maintained solely for the
benefit of his liberated compatriots, he
sees and mixes with the missionaries,
and, being ignorant and naturally vain,
he imagines that since white men take
so much trouble about him he must be
person of immense Importance. There
are many excellent and pious mission
aries, but, unfortunately, the spectacle
of the sectarian divisions carried out
there from Europe has had bad result
in some respects. What is the negro to
think of Christianity when he sees mis-
sionaries of the various churches con-
tinually squabbling among themselves?-
Good Words.

THE CINCINNATI INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION
is now open to the public, having been in
augurated by the grandest trades procession
ever witnessed. 1t remains open until Oc-
tober 9th. The great departments of ma.
chinery, horticulture, fine arts, etc., are more
attractive than at any previous Exposition.
Either OF the departments of itself would
amply repay visit to Cincinati and when
we state that one admission fee of twenty
five cents entities visitor to enter all parts
of the Exposition, it will sufficiently show
tn G liberality of this great enterprise.

A NEW disease has broken out among
swine in Western Missouri, which affects
them most singularly, and has resulted
in the death of number of hogs. When
first attacked, the hog squeals rs il in
intense pain or fright; the legs and back
then break out with an eruption, leaving
the flesh raw, and his porkship soon after
yields up the ghost.

A tear or two fell she wiped them
away and through the mist that veiled
her eyes, she saw bright, ardent, young
face, strangely in contrast with the cool,
formal, unmoved countenanee, with its
handsome features and practiced smile
that had just passed from before her
vision. 1t was the face of Marcus More
land and before she was aware of his
intention he had passed his arm around
her waist and kissed her.
"lf never may again, / must now, !"
said he. II have never dared to tell
you while / thought you so rich. but l
have loved you since the first day We
met. We are both poor, let me fight
the battle of life for you. l can do it
l will do it. God always prospers love
like mine"
The twilight shadows were creeping
over the scene. The distant mountains
were losing the faint tips that they had
worn. All was still save for the distant
tinkle of the cow-bell. A soft, sweet
breeze swept up from the meadows, full
of the fragrance of grass and clover.
Did these things bring the sudden calm
and sweetness to Mays wounded heart !?
She stood still, making Marcus no an
swer, but she did not repulse him.
Tell me that you like me a little, ="
pleaded the boy.
81 do like yeu, Marcus" said May,
''but don't say any more justnow can
not tell you why, but this is not the
time. I-I-just say goodbye, now.
Marcus. I must 60 away tomorrow, but
l will write to you
Remember, my love is life or death
to me, said Marcus, and they parted.
One day. when May thought she had
nothing but scorn for her fortune-hunt-
ing doctor, she did write to Marcus
Moreland, and what she said may be in
ferred from the fact that they are to be
married when the next spring comes,
and that the people at the store, and
the doctor also. doubtless knew that
Farmer Parsons pretty young boarder
was really an heiress. and that Farmer
Parsons, a shrewd old man with plenty
of good sense, knew and approved of the
ruse that had tested the heiress' lovers
all along.

CRITICAL TIM ES.

Death, in a natural way, comes to
more persons in the neighborhood of five
o'clock in the morning, than at any 9TH
er in the twenty the fewest about
the hour of one in the afternoon. In
the early morning the world is still, the
atmosphere heavy with the damps of
night, and the body debilitated, often,
with the long fast from supper time,
with nothing to rouse the spirits or the
circulation. AT about one o'clock in the
afternoon the air is most generally fully
dried by the sun, has more life, more
oxygen in it, hence is more purifying,
more invigorating. while the bright day
light itself has an elevating tendency.
These facts should be borne in mind by
those who are nurses to the sick for by
extra attentions of various kinds the
critical hour might pass, and, if so, the
patient is more likely to live over anOth-
er twenty -four hours. 1t is said by OBJ
servant physicians that each seventh
year of life is critical which means that
every seventh year is liable to be fatal,
but if passed over with improved health,
it gives reasonably certain lease of an
other seven years; for example, the
most of those who become consumptive
do so about the age of twenty-one-a
year sooner or later; but twenty-one is
the largest average when disease becomes
decided. About forty-two, the six times
seven, is by far the most critical time Of
life in women. If that is passed health
fully, they have good chance of seeing
three-score. 1t will perhaps be found
that larger number of persons die
within year or two including sixty.
three than at any other specified time
between forty-nine and seventy. These
things suggest that increased attention
should be given to the health at these
critical periods.-Dr. Hall
