Africa's Promised Land.

St Louis Globe-Democrat
A large quantity of miscellaneous
household goods piled up on the levee,
and an old gray haired darkey who was
watching them, were all that reminded
one Yesterday of the landing of the
Southern pilgrims last Sunday morning
The old darkey was humming camp
meeting tune in a rather mournful tone
as he was approached.
Are YOU from the South, Uncle?"
"Yes, sab, from ole Mississippi, sab. ?"
"Where are those who came with
you?"
''Some hab gone to Kansas, an some
am here, COS dey can't get awee. Dem
as is here are mos all a-stayin' wild de
folks oh de Baptist church, uptown.

"What do they intend doing?"
"Stayin' right hyar till dey gifts

Have any of them obtained employ
ment?"
Yes, sab; dere's lots o white folks
comm in from de country to git us to

Yes, sab; for Kansas | is boun', an
Tn gwine to git dar wild de help o

Happy Thought.

Paris Paper.J
We commend to amateur actors, trou-
bled with bad memories, the happy idea
of our friend c. Though still young
man, he was to play the father, and the
daughter CHANGED to be very handsome
woman So when he forgot his part, he
could think of nothing better than while
holding his child to say:
" Kiss your father"
And each time when he felt that his
memory was about to fail, he would save
himself by crying out;
Come to my arms my child
The husband ofthe daughter was heard
to try that he thought the author re-
peated himself very often

Footsteps Of the Dead.
the Detroit Free Pre--.l

From the Detroit Free Pre--.l
= 1t YOU had seen this old man
as he sat in the corner where the spring
sun fell brightest. If you had heard
his words Of faith, YOU would know that
faith can become a second life. as it
were, never wavering or doubling
through years and years, and dying only
when the heart ceases it beatings He
had said; CHOSE who died long years
ago are ever with me in the spirit. /
cannot see them, because / am mortal
but when ] am called to 90, be ii night
or day, / shall hear their footsteps. and
they Will lead me over the dark river
into Heavens sunlight beyond The
other day he rat alone i'm the sunlight.
No one dreamed that his end was near.
When his feeble, worn but still loving
wife entered the room 10 see if he slept,
the old mans pale, dead face had such q
smile a. she had never seen before, and
his hands were held out as if to give
greeting. While the house was still the
old man had heard the footsteps Of his
faith For more than @ score of years
he had waited and listened and never
doubted Had men told him that there
was nothing beyond earth but dust and
darkness it would have broken his
heart. Softly fell the footsteps along
the hall, a if children were creeping In
to give grandpa a surprise, and when
| the old man raised his hand and turned
that smile, which even death could not
fade, was brought to his face, and he
stretched out his arms to those whom
he knew would come.

And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust,
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penued by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds though now we must
Furl that Banner softly, slowly,
Treat it gently-it Is holy
For it droopS above thedead;
Touch it not-uniold it never,
Let it droop there, ilyjed forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead
