A Negroes Skin Becoming White.
[Cairo Letter.1


There is In our city now colored man
who, for fifteen years past, has been stead
ny turning white. He says that before
the war he was the slave of Mr.. Winston,
now living near Union City, Tenn, and
that any one doubling that he is negro
can have those doubts set at rest by writ
ing to his old master. He has farmed
near Columbus Ky, for seven years past,
and his children, all black, have grown up
and married. He saws that the change in
the color Of his skin began fifteen years
ago, ir. spot the size of three cent
piece on his right wrist, and has been
spreading steadily until now the only
black left upon his person are few spots
on his hands and mask, as it were, on
his face, extending from his forehead to
his mouth with the exception OF his eve
brows, which are white, the hair on them
being black and straight like a white
mans. The skin of his head, neck and
body is a healthy flesh color like that of
any white man, and is tender and easily
blistered by the sun, and his hair is get
ting straight, like white mans. The
first impression upon seeing him is that
his face has been painted with iodine, but
his eyes are the unmistakable color of a
ncgros. His name is Henry Winston.
He says that soon after the change began
he was examined by twelve physicians at
New Orleans, and they told him not to
be alarmed; it was healthy change, and
would not injure his life. He had feared
1t was the leprosy.

A QUEER STORY.
DAan't Mind killing the pa.rents, but the
NJ. bothered Him.

Cadnt Mind Killing the Parents, but tho
MI nothered Him.
Madison (Ind.) Star.]
Our friend Charlie Bunnell was then
cunning messenger on the J., M. & l., and
he tells us the story. Bluff old Jack Mills,
rough but kind hearted, was the engineer.
About a mile and half this side Of Col
umbus there is fine stretch of road, and
Jack had "pulled his wind open" to make
up lost time, and the old engine and train
were rocking along at rate of about 90
miles an hour A country road runs par
allel with the track here some distance
and finally crosses it. But short dis
tance from the crossing on the day we
refer to, there was suddenly discovered
man evidently half drunk, in two horse
country wagon, and in it was his wife
with him. The man was standing up
driving like mad, but the train was so
close upon him that no one dreamed of his
attempting to cross, but making sudden
turn to the left, he endeavored 10 cross
the railroad track.
BY the time the wagon was fairly on
the track the locomotive struck it, mashed
the wagon to splnters, killed the horses
and mangled to death the man and wom-
IN. The train ran some distance before
Il could be stopped, and when it was
finally checked Bunnell went forward and
found the engineer, Jack Mills, swearing
Hike trooper; fiis engine all "mussed,"
and he was damning the drunken fool in
the wagon for his criminal carelessness
which brought on the accident Jack was
hot. AS he turned to get on his engine
to reverse her and return to the scene of
SShs accident, his eye caught sight of
tiny pair of baby shoes, which had been
emcns other Of the purchases Of the man
IN the wagon and knocked out. They
had fallen on the boiler of the locomotive,
and there they rested as gently as dove
sitting in a cannon's mouth. A flood OF
recollcctions of the little ones at home
watching and waiting for their parents,
who would never come, thoughts it may
be, of little feet at home, were too much
tor the true and tender heart of the rough
and hardy engineer, and he leaned on
Charlie Bunnelps shoulder and sobbed
aloud. "Just look at them little shoes,
Charlie" he said between his tears, "l-
l-didn't mind so much runnn' over that
id drunken fool who tried to cross ahead
Of us when he couldn't, but the little one,
Charlie, the little kid that's waitin' for
em, that's too rough!"

Love in q Cottage.

A woman who writes from experience
draws this picture of love in cottage on
. small income: "a few months Of ease
and comfort, then they begin to realize
they are saving very little. Retrench-
ment begins; they move into smaller
house; perhaps sickness comes; the little
money laid by goes for drugs, and other
comforts have to be sacrificed to pay the
doctors bill; little helpless lives come
calling for attention. The young mother
who could easily attend to her domestic
affairs before now finds all her time taken
up with baby. Duties that came easy
then are irksome now, but they must be
gone through with, though the head aches
and the limbs are weary, for servant can
not 6e afforded.
The husband, too, may have had his
dreams of making life pleasant for the
woman of his choice, and finds himself
straining every nerve to make both ends
meet; and, though his manhood cries out
against the eternal grind and drudgery he
has to witness, he is powerless to avert it
So they slave and slave, tasting little OF
life's comfort Do you think am over
drawing the picture? | would | we're, toI
the sake of some know, and thousands
! do not Lives of sacrifice are not easy
ones to live, and though we may in al
good faith think we could live them, ano
not be unhappy,few Of US are the heroine'
we think we are, when the test is applied
Living on "bread, and cheese, and kisses,
reads well in romance, but in reality II
not pleasant. For life at its best, has 1T
cares, and husband and wife often encoun
ter troubles that require all the love ant
respect they have for one another to sur
mount them.

Sort of a Religio-B business Habit.

tits pretty hard to throw off old habits
all at once. A Nebraska dealer in agri-
cultural implements "got religion" felt it
his duty to point out the way to others,
and said to farmer: "Brother Jones, l
will guarantee that if YOU will join our
church you will not only find it the best
in the market, but it will take you straight
through without any further inventory.
Give it trial, and if it is not satisfactory
| will take back your religion and re-
fund your money"

Effect of Inventions on Labor.

The inventions and Improvements of

instead Of driving people out Of employ
ment they have created innumerable new
employments and given living work to
three times as many people in the civil.
lied world as existed then.

will he mend it Make up your mind tc
do thing and you will do it. Fear MOI
If troubles come upon you. Keep ur
your spirits, though the day may be a
dark one.
/ Troubles never last forever,
| The darkest day wlt pass away.
| If the sun is going down look up to the
stars; if the earth is dark keep your eve
on Heaven. With Gods presence and
Gods promise a man or child may be
cheerful.
Never despair when fogs in the air,
sunshiny morning will come without warning,
Mind what you run after. Never be
content with bubble that will burst, or
fire wood that will end in smoke, and
darkness; but that which you can keep,
and WHICH is worth keeping.
Something sterling, that will stay
When gold and silver fly away.
Fight hard against a hasty temper. An
ger will come, but resist it strongly, A
spark may set house on fire. A fit Of
passion may give you cause to mourn all
the days of your life. Never revenge an
injury.
He that revengeth knows no rest;
The meek possess peaceful breast.
If you have an enemy act kindly TO
him, and make him your friend. You
NAV not win him at once, but try again.
Let one kindness be followed by another,
till you have compassed your end. By
little and by little great things are com
pleted
Water failing day by day
Wears the hardest rock away.
And so repeated kindness will soften
heart Of stone. Whatever you do, do it
willingly. A boy that is whipped at
school never learns his lessons well. A
man that is compelled to work cares not
how badly it is performed. He who pulls
off his coat cheerfully, strips up his
sleeves in earnest, and sings while he
works is the man for me.
A cheerful spirit gets on quick,
A grumbler in the mud will stick
Evil thoughts are our worst enemies,
Keep your heads and hearts so full of good
thoughts, that bad thoughts may not find
room.
Be on your guard and strive and pray
10 drive all evil thoughts away
