A few years ago, says Hmper's Mag
d-iHe, while the Alabama aud Chatta-
noOga Railroad was in progress OF con-
structiOn, il was a favorable field for
colored preachers to labor and take up
collections "for de spread Ob de gospel -
Among these a frequent visitor was old
Father Helms, from Tennessee, whose
vivid eloquence and practical "spound-
in ob de Sacred Word" were very at
tentively listened To 10y large eongrega-
tious Of the sable race, with no small
delegation of interested white listeners
upon the outskirts. Upon one occasion,
assembled in a lovely Alabama grove,
he addressed his congregation thus:
"Ladies aud gentlemen 90 my beloved

to preach to yer dis Sabbath mOrnin',
but will read a chapter from de Bible,

He then read the fourth chapter Of
Genesis, after which he continued his
remarks:

Frank, turning sharply to bis enemy as

able coward, did"
Hush Stop, Captain; you don't

his lawyer, hastily, adding, presently,
this trouble is upsetting you badly;
you must be very careful what you say"
Remember" said Frank, sail the
conditions, and observe them faithfully.

So saying, Frank turned aud walked
away, followed by curses and execra-
tions. He Joined his friend and left the
hotel, after charging the policeman not
to lose track Of bis man till he was on

Captain Talbot remained for a three

Dounced, much TO the surprise Of his set,
that Captain Talbot had sold his elegant
residence, disposed Of all his property,
and sailed for Europe.
