A recent dispatch from Washing
ton says:
IA meeting was held here for the
purpose Of taking measures towards
establishing weekly journal in
Washington, to be managed cxclu-
sively by colored men, and devoted
to the interest of the colored people.
Frederick Douglas, Professors Lang
ston and Wilson, and other promi-
ncnt men Of that race, earnestly Sec
ended the views Of the Rev. George
w. Williams, Of Boston, who came
here to establish such journal, the
general sentiment being that this was
absolutely necessary, as the white
man no longer took an interest in
The black man.; Various sums Of
money were subscribed to aid in the
enterprise"

what is the use TO say it was or was

is great fundamental truth of equal

1t is an infamous slander on the
philanthropy and Christianity of the
white man to say that he is no longer

him freedom and aid him to maintain
it? How many are doing all in their

Activity and Spirituality.

There is n mistake as to the activity IN
benevolent work, which is so happy n
feature of our time. Processing Chris
tians are very busy. Christian work is
pressed on them. \ little stir, eonse-
quenee, and pleasant contact with amia
BILE fellow man, attend it. There is an
agreeable consciousness of laudable and
benefieent action. Men, as they some
times say, ''enjoy themselves in it, and
unwittingly they utter great truth.
They ''enjoy themselves"
Artificial attractions, are, besides, lent
to this Christian work. Ministers and
others are glad to encourage laborers.
Reports are usually rose-eolored. Chris
tian Iaborers are. from their very amia-
bility, inclined to mutua. adulatiOn.
The general tendency to make the most
of things, is not wanting here.
have heard men described rs doing
''grand work" whose results, one fears,
will not bulk largely in the when ''the
fire shall try every mans work, of what
sort it is" All this being so, there is
great danger Of substituting activity
without personal growth within; and all
the more because the activity is recon-
mended as II means Of grace. Ii is a
means Of grace along with Others-nOt
by itself. We are busy about religious
things; 50 we think ourselves religious.

SHALL WE HAVE NEW PRoNouH

4 slip Of grammar in a recent NUN
Der of the Atlantic Monthly has revived
the discussion as to the necessity of "a
new personal pronOun singular that will
do for either sex. The atlantic permit
ted itself TO say: 1--WE would ratherSet
a boy or girl upon some one poet nearest
akin to their mental aptitude" " Now this
peculiar blunder is very frequent If
only occasionally found in the best wri-
tiu@-, Il is because the proof reader in
trrpoSeS his correction before the sell
tence reaches the public, for every edi-
tor lIOwS how often even careful writers
make the mistake; while ia the ordinary
utteranees of the da.y it is as common as
air. Ii may be noted in the. printed
regulations Of almost every car and
steamboat, and is ubiquitous in adver-
tisements and announcements, as for in
stance; Every passenger must pay
their fare Oh entering the car, &c. To
avoid this blunder either an awkward
circumlocutiOn must be made, such as,
Every passenger must pay his or her
fare, - or else one Of the sex must be
boldly ignored. 1t is true that the pro
noun OF the masculine gender may be
used in these cases as representative of
/ the entire human family, but the in
stincts OF justice are stronger than those

" fashion, "a contemporary forcibly
puts it. Certain writers assert very de-
/ c:,!edlr that no pronouns are needed be-
/ yOnd those we al ready possess, but this

ported bv the facts. No matter what
/ pedants may say in the matter, every

avoided in many instances only by FL
1 ther clumsy circumlOeutiOn or hall
statement, there does exist radical de-
feet in the langage TO cause it. 1t will
be said that EngIish-speaking people
have managed to get along good many
centuries with the present supply OF
pronouns; and this argument sounds,
40 doubt, very conclusive to some Peo-
ple. Ii i 50 old and venerable an argu-
n-nt that perhaps it oGght TO receive a
lit,le respect; its equivalent was used
when gts, railways and steamboats, were
proposed, and it has attempted to har

GERMAN AMERICANS most i'll
telligent German citizens of America are
urging upon their German friends the
Importance of laying aside all clanishness

Hon. Guido Marx in his telRqyk1 before

given him by his German friends of New
York OF the e.e"t I.is departure for Eu-

IMPROVING on ACQUAISTANCE.-D
Holmes, in the "Autocrat OF the Break
fast Table" says that every man has
three distinct selves; one, what he real
Is is; a second, what he thinks himself
to be; a third, what others think him to
be. The last often changes on aequaint-
anee.
Mr. g. r. Leslie, n distinguished paint
er, was appointed on one of the import
ant committees at the great Exhibition
in the Crystal Palace, London. When
he first met tine Committee he thought
his colleagues We're very ordinary looking
men. But they soon began to discuss mat
tiers of science in n very intelligent man
ner, and on looking up again he thought
their appearance much improved. Turn
ing to the catalogue, lie found that his
colleagues were Sir David Brewster,
Sir. John Herschel, Baron Legnier, Prof.
Potter, and other eminent men. After
listening,to their instructive conversation
he left the meeting with the impression
that the gentlemen were remarkably
wise-loOking men and wondering how
he could have thought differently ON
first seeing them.

BE AS HAPPY AS YOU CAN.

This life is not all sunshine.
Nor is it yet all showers,
But storms and calms alternate.
As thOrns among the flowers
And while we seek the roses.
The thOrns full oft wc scau-
still let us, though they wound H.,

This life has heavy CrOSscs,
As well As joys To share,
Aud grief aud disappOintmeniS,
Which you and must bear;
Yet, if MisfOrtunes lava
Entombs Hopes dearest plan.
Let Us with what Is left Ia,
BE us happy as We can
The sun Of our enjoyment
Is made Of little things,
As oft the broadest rivers
Are formed from smaller springs;
BY treasHring small waters
The rivers reach their span;
So we increase our pleasure,
Enjoying what We can
There may be burning deserts
Through which our feet must 20,
But there are given Oascs
Where pleasant palm trees grow;
And if we may not follow
The path our hearts would plan,
Let us make all around US
As happy rs We can.
Perchance We may not climb
With ambition to its goal,
Still let us answer "present;"
Where Duty calls the roll.
And whatever our appointment,
BE nothing less than man,
And, cheerful in submission,
BE as happy as We can.

GIRLS IL EGYPT.--A Cairo correspond
ent says: Girls become marriageable
here at eleven, not seldom younger; if
they do not marry by the time they are
fifteen their chances are excellent for the
life Of an old maid. Marrying so young,
entirely ignorant, even Of housekeeping,
they cannot be good mothers; bearing
children before they cease to be- children
themselves, they are old at twenty, and
withered when they ought to be in their
prime When the first school for girls
was begun here, the parents would not
send their children any more than the
farmers will use the Khedive's steaIn
pIou.hs and his improved instruments
and ways of agriculture, and children
were caught up in the streets and forced
into it, Now a change has taken place,
and the schools for girls. at least one Of
them, are 80 popular that the daughters
Of Pachas attend them The Khedive's
mother, who Is not a person Of educa-
ton, though Of a strong mind, has great
Iy interested herself in the education Of

The mu .titudeof mereies.

Tie great cause Of our inse visibility To
the goodness of the Creator is the very
extensiveness Of His bounty. We prize
but little what we share only in com
mon with the rest, or with the general
ty Of our species. When we hear Of
blessings, we think forthwith Of success
es, Of prosperous fortunes, Of honors,
riches, preferments, !. e., Of those ad
vantages and superiorities over Others
which we happen either to possess, or to
be in pursuit of, to eovet. The com
cape Us. Yet these are the great things.
These constitute what most properly
ought TO be accounted blessings Of Prov
idence what alone, if we might so
speak, are worthy Of its care. Nightly
rest and daily bread, the ordinary uses
Of our limbs and senses and understand
ing are gifts which admit Of no cOmpar-
ison with any other. Yet because al
most every man We meet possesses these
we leave them out Of our enumeration.
They raise 10 sentiments they move no
gratitude. Now, herein is our Judgment
perverted by seliishness. \ blessing
ought in truth To be the most satisfactO-
ry, the bounty at least Of the donor Is
rendered more conspicuous, By is very
diffusion, its eommOnness, its cheapness
by its falling to the lot ard forming the
happiness of the great bulk and body ol
our species as well as ourselves Nay, even
when we do not possess it, it ought 70 b.
the matter Of thankfulness that otHer-
do. But we have a different way OF
thinking. We court distinction That
is not the worst; We see nothing bat
what has distinction to recommend IT,
This necessarily contracts our views Of
the Creators beneficenee within mar
row compass and most uniustly.

THE ARAB's PKOOF.-Sone year ago
a FrenclIman, who, like many Of his
countrymen, had won high rank
among men OF science, yet who denied
the God who Is the Author Of ali science,
was crossing the great Sahara in cOmpa
ny with an Arab guide. He noticed,
with sneer, that at certain times, his
guide, whatever obstacles might arise,
put them all aside, and, kneeling on the
burning sands, called Oh his God.
Day after day passed, and still the
Arab never failed, till at last one evening
the philosopher, when he rose from his
knees, asked him, with eOntemptuous
smile:-''How do you know there Is a
Gody' The guide fixed his eyes on the
scolTer, for a moment, in wonder, and
then said, solemnly y:-''HOw do l kno"
there is a Godl How do l know that
man and not a camel passed my hut last
night in the darknessl Was it not by
the print Of his foot in the sandl Even
So" and he pointed TO the sun, whose
