odist Episcopal South, II; the Epis-
copal IL, and the Congregationalists
Sc of them among the colcred peo-
pie, In 1873 the Presbyterians cele-
brated their semi centennial; now
they have 13 churches. Despite
their poverty and the hard times,
they have built within the last two
years. two mission chapels, three
brick churches, one fine wooden
church and one seamen's bethel. The
Methodists, who have Is churches
among the colored people: the Bap-
fists, who have 25, and the Congre-
gationalists, who have 6. would seem,
from these figures, to be doing much
more for this unfortunate race than
the Presbyterians, who have no
church of colored people in the city.
Whether they seek and obtain admis-
sion to the churches Of the whites I
do not know.
A casual glance shows New Or
leans to be. like all our large cities,
wicked city. In two respects, how
ever, it appears to the stranger to be
worse, il possible, than some of the
larger cities Of the North. There ap-
pears to be more intemperance, and
it is certain that the Sabbath is more
widely disregarded. Thousands OF
shopmen ply their trade here as dill
gently on the Sabbath as on any 9TH
er day OF the week. The day, by
other thousands, is given up to
pleasuring. "Most subject is the
fattest soil to Weeds" says the great
dramatist, and the weeds grow here
in rank and noxious profusion. But
there are also many and fruitful
plants of righteousness. The churches
here are doing good work.

me, sir" said the gentleman, with a
formal bow.
"Your face seems somewhat famil-
ar, but yet cannot place you," re-
piled Edwards.
permit me to bring myself to
your recollection, then, as I wish you
to know me. A little more than six
weeks ago was talking to you on
business, and you observed that 1
turned pale and became agitated?'
"Ah, yes, I remember you now"
"Let me tell you why 1 was affec-
ted. My eyes had CHANGED upon a
curious watch seal, which had be-
longed to a merchant named Philip
Sidney, who was shot in the western
part of the State some twenty years
ago, and, looking at your features
closely, knew you to be the villain
who perpetrated the foul Decd"
"Merciful Godl" exclaimed the
banker, with blanched face and qua
king form.
"Yes, 1 know you," pursued the
other, "and a week later I disguised
myself and had an interview with
you in your house. You rembmber
that, OF course?"
But, gasped the trembling wretch,
"did not pay you your own price to
keep the fatal secret?"
Yes. and with that very money and
what other 1 could command, 1 was
enabled to buy up enough OF your
bills to make that run upon your
bank which broke it and forced ruin
upon YOU"
"And what would you, now that
am ruined?" inquired the other, with
the deadly calmness OF desperation.
Now, that have had my revenge,
I want you to know that 1 myself
am the man you tried to murder and
did rob. 1 am Philip Sidney. Be-
hold the scar where the ball struck
and glanced" and he lifted his hat
and showed it.
God be praised!" calculated the
other. "God be praised that you are
still livingl" and unable to restrain
his emotion, he burst into tears. "Oh,
sir" he continued, @you have taken a
load off my conscience-a weight
from my soul. Though poverty. beg
gary, disgrace and death stare me in
the face, I am happy in the knowl-
edge that am not guilty Of murder
happier than I have been for twen-
ty years with all the luxurious sur
roundings OF wealth. 1t was my first
and last crime. 1 have never been
able to tell how 1 was tempted on
that fearful occasion. Now, sir, do
with me as you will-only, 1 pray
you, be merciful with my innocent
family"
Il forgive you," returned the other,
extending his hand. Il forgive you.
You have been fearfully punished
already. And as God has seen prop
per to preserve us both together, let
us hope it Is for our salvation; let us
endeavor so to live as to deserve the
blessings we receive. I will restore
you enough to place you and your
family above want; and for the rest.
/ trust we shall soon render an ac-
count of our stewardship In another
world"
Philip Sidney kept his word. and
with fresh start in the world, and
an easy conscience, James Edwards
accumulated another fortune, much
of which he spent in charity.
Philip Sidney died in 1S4S, and
James Edwards in 1851.

A Lazy Passeng er.

CEVERAL years ago was called
- upon by a party named Tom -
to allow him to work his passage on the
schooner - to Baltimore and return,
Ia very common request before steam
boating was established on the river he
hailed FROM. / agreed, and he took his
place IN the cabin, and seemed more at
home there than anywhere else. He

in the salt water region, he failed at all.
On our way back we arrived off the
mouth of the river Ia very wide one)
about midnight, and as the wind was
very light, and strong A" ebb tide"
anchored with my sails up.
A large schooner was lying ahead of
me at anchor, and was the only thing
visible. w. utrui
Now, thinks L, is the time to settle
with my "green" (S) passenger. He was
in the cabin "dead'' (asleep). The crew
"went below'' and "turned in" L
waited till everything was quiet, then,
standing by the wheel 1 called Tom.-
After a good deal of yawning, he
turned out" and wanted to know what
was wanting. told him to +" take her
awhile" Il. e., to take the wheel). He
said
g You know, Cap, can't steer by the
compass.
Now, Tom, I've got you all fixed up
nicely. You see that large schooner
ahead?n ee bnf
''Yes, SIR" he replied. 4p
"Well, steady her. right for her. She
is steady craft, and as the wind is
light,we oughtto overhaul her that is, if
you can keep our craft steady" And
telling him to call me when he came up
with her, I laid down.
The strong tide made our vessel sheer
about whenever Tom moved the helm,
and the water passing us gave the ap-
pearance of the vessel going ahead
After half an hour sang out:
Toni.

" "Exactly,'' nodded the general, "and
that Is precisely what / intend to do by

" A large amount of money given to

"Just what l was thinking Of in your
case, chuckled the general. {" But you
DOM seem to like 1t any more than she
did,"
"The cases are not parallel sir" cried
Basil, Indignantly.

demanded Gen. Bertrand. Il tell you,
my boy, It's poor rule that won't work

were degrading your wife, Basil Use
your own common sense, my son = ask
yourself II wife has not as many priv
ileges as business partner-and let me
know tonight at what conclusion you
have arrived"
And the next day when General
Bertrand stopped in to see his daughter
on his way down town, Emily met him
with n radiant face.

he has been thinking 1t over, and he

"And won't 1t be nice ?"
Very nice, indeed" said General
Bertrand"

morning, he found the quarterly sum

w Gen. Bertrand. " Not mar

tears like an April snowdrift, or July
mist. This won't do, at all it will
never do In the worldV"
All the gay world had cried out at
Emily's Whites "good luck" when
Basil Bertrand asked her to be his wife
Basil Bertrand, who was the only son
and heir of the rich old general, who
had made such fortune in the Mon
tana silver mines. And, indeed, Emily
herself had scarcely credited the full
amount of her own happiness.
And, to the astonishment of all her
friends, the BRIDES first act was to strike
up an affectionate alliance with her
father-in-law, who, on his part, caressed
and petted her as he might have done a
Maltese kitten, or little white fawn.-
And so it came that on this April day
the old general walked into Emily's
boudoir, and surprised her in tears.

trying to smile, g but indeed / cannot

"Then don't try, my DEAR" said the
general seating himself in the big easy
chair beside her, and laying kind

DANGEROUS HAIR.

THE name of the lady who few
i weeks since dropped her back hair
on the sidewalk of street in Clinton,
Illinois, has now been ascertained. The
hair in question was Of bright red
color, and few persons would have i'm
agined that it was dangerous when un-
connected with its owner. Neverthe-
less, that seemingly innocent back hair
led to tragedy that nearly ruined the
peace of two happy and respectable
families.
Messrs. Smith and Brown are the
leading citizens engaged in the grocery
business in Clinton. They are men of
great worth of character, and have
reached middle age without incurring
the breath Of slander. One evening Mr..
Smith returned from the store and sit
ting down at the tea-table, produced
Chicago paper from his pocket and re-
marked with much indignation. That
revolving Beecher scandal has been re-
vived, and its loathsome details are
again polluting the press and corrupting
the minds of the public"
Mrs. Smith replied that 1T was a
shameful outrage that the papers were
allowed to publish such disgusting
things" and asked her husband (which
paper had the fullest account of the mat
ter"
That excellent man said that he be-
lieved the GaSette contained more about
1t than any other paper, and that after
tea he would send one of the boys to get
copy Of 1t.
His wife thanked him, and was in the
act of remarking that he was always
thoughtful and considerate, when the
Oldest boy exclaimed
"Pa, you've got long red hair on
your coat collar !"
A prompt investigation made by Mrs.
Smith confirmed the boys accusation
There was an unmistakable female hair
on the collar of Mr.. Smiths coat, and it
was obtrusively red. Mr.. Smith re-
marked it was very extraordinary
thing, and Mrs. Smith also remarking
every extraordinary indeed" in dry,
sarcastic voice, expressed deep disgust at
red hair and a profound contempt for the
"nasty creatures" who wore it.
About the same hour Mr.. Brown was
also seated at his tea table, and was en-
deavoring to excuse himself to Mrs.
Brown for having forgotten to bring
home paper. That lady, after having
expressed the utmost indignation at the
revival of the Beecher scandal, had
asked for the paper in order to see who
was dead and married, and was, of
course, indignant because her husband
had not brought it home. In the heat
of discussion she noticed a long red hair
on Mr.. Browns coat collar and, holding
it before him, she demanded an explana-
tion. In vain did Mr.. Brown allege
that he had not the least idea how the
hair became attached to his collar. His

A LAY TO SUMMER.
JOHN r. Eek.

And thou art here with thy sweet South winds,
And thy glow of blushing flowers
With perfume laden on every breeze
From thy amaranthine bowers.
AS thy balmy winds sweep over the hills,
And over the limpid river;
wish that the bright, sweet Summer time
Might linger with us forever
Thou bringest the meadows waving grass,
And the scent of the new-mown hay,
And the fragrance of the lily cups,
As the rivulets round them pay.
Oh give me the bright, sweet Summer time,
And the grandeur of the trees,
And the music of the babbling brook,
And the softly signing breeze.
Thy breezes sigh through the leafy wood,
And the sunlight glints between;
And the birds are singing overhead
In the beautiful forest green.
think of the Summer woodland paths
AS memories round me throng,
OF the many happy hours I've passed,
With harp and Lutte and song.
Obi love the hours, the joyous hours,
OF summers dearest pleasures,
When the earth puts forth her gladstone smiles
And yields her bounteous treasures.
Then give me the bright, sweet Summer time,
The light of the Summer hours
The soft low winds, and the wild-bird's song,
And the greenwood, leaves and flowers
