CoFFEE TEA AND HARD Within

COIored Emigration.

When the colored man WAS u slave, and an
occasional philan,hropic master manumitted
him, it was generally with the proviso that
be should go as colonist to Liberia. Tbs
machinery Of the National Colization SOcie-
ty, with Mr.. Clay at its head, was brought
into requisi,ion to SECURE him safe transpor-
tation- The scheme of populating that far
off and inbospitable region, never in i,s pros
Gus period, amounted to muth. The best class
of coiored people, after giving Liberia e trial,
deserted il whenever an opportunity offered.
Those less ambitious instead of having their
condition improved, fell into habits Of iu-
dolence, and dwindled away under the mala-
rial diseases of rhe country. till of late but
little Is heard of them, and that little always
TO their disadvantage.
But the colored man. as an emigrant, has
marked our for himself new field, where
the prospects are much more fattering, and
the conditions sll in his favor. If he will i'm
prove them He has fixed his eyes on a
broad and productive country west of the Mis-.
sissippi, where it is his intention 10 found a
new State. and as he is now in possession of all
the privileges of citizenship pertaining to

ter into composition with them in acquiring
wealth and the enjoyment of unabridged
happiness.
The movement as yet il in its inoipieney.
but it has been commenced. Several small
parties of co!ored people passed through St.
Louis some three weeks ago, on their way to
southwestern Kansas Most of the number
were from Tennessee. They were to be join
ed shortly by 1000 persons from Kentucky,
and it is believed that the colony will, from
time TO time, be still further augmented by
emigration from Louisiana, Mississippi,
Georgia, and other Southern States.
1t is said that these emigrants have no
serious complaints to make but they are of
the opinion that the two races cannot live
and prosper together; that the stronger Will
alSs enjoy advantages TO which the
weaker cannot attain and that in govern
ment of their own, they can establish that
perfect social aud political equality for which
the freedman naturally sighs, and of which
the law cannot deprive him. These people
have had their own explorers ont, who have
purchased lands for the colony and paid for
them They will prosecute agriculture, erect
follow mechanical pursuits, and in
every way endeayor TO make their communi-
ty self-sustaining. They will have the best
wishes of. and no doubt considerable msteri-

For to-mnrrow Will prove but another TODAY.
With Its measure OF Joy and sorrow.
Then why forecast the trials of life
With such sad and grave pesisienee.
And watch and wait Tor q crowd of Ills
That as yet have no existence.
Strength for tO-day-what precious boon
For the earnest souls who labor.
For the willing hands that miaister
10 the needy friend or neighbor.
Strength for to-day-that the weary hearts
In the battle for right may quail not;
That the eyes bedimmed with bitter tears.
In search for light may fail not.
Strength for to-day, on the down-hill track.
For the travel Is Tear the valley

Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day-that our precious youth
May happily shun temptation,
And build irom the rise 10 the set of sun
On strong and sure foundation.
