the hag Of st. Johns Guild. Then there was

EXPECTATION.

We rode into the wooded way
Below us wide the shadows lay;
We rode, and met the kneeIing day,
We said, ut is too late
THE sun has dropped into the west
The mountain holds him to her breast
She holds and bushes him to rest
For us it is too late
"To see the leaf take fire now.
TO see, and then to wonder how
The glory pauses on the bough,
While painting grass tops wait.
When, 10 the miracle came on
A road side turn--a moment gone
And FAR the sun loWlying shone;
The forest stood in state.
Transfignred spread the silent space;
The glamour leaped about the place,
And touched us, swept from face to face.
We cried, mot yet too late p
But one, who nearer drew than all,
Leaned low and whispered ''Suns may fal
Or flash dear heart I speak and call
Your soul unto it's fate
TREAD bravely down hfe's evening slope.
Before the night comes, do not grope!
Forever shines some small, sweet hope,
And God is not too late
zine for December.

To those of the colored race who have
been voting with the Democrats, please
take notice of the Democratic press of In
diana. They are trying to work up the
old mob spirit of 1910 and IS45, when ne
gro would settle or attempt to settle in
white neighborhood. They would mob
him out. Now the Kokomo Dispatch asks
the people will they allow the negro to
settle in their midst and thereby introduce
cheap labor in Indiana? j would ask the
editor if he remembers of colored person
in Howard county that will work below
customary wages? Does not the editor of
the Dispatch know that there is quite
demand for day laborers in Indiana? Do
any of those yelping newspaper editors
know of any law to prohibit an American
citizen from emigrating to any State they
please? If there is any, We would be glad
TO have 1t cited to us, and if there is none,
the inoffensive colored man will go wher-
ever he can earn an honest living, for the
time has come when the colored man is 60
ing to demand perfect freedom or death.
