The Texas CoIored Convention.
st Louis Republican


The colored State convention in Texas
must be very careful, else it will knock the
bottom out of Republican exodus arguments
When large and respectable body of
colored men come together for the
express purpose of di,couraglng col
ored emigration, there is great
danger of throwing the latest Republi-
can device out of gear. Texas is overwhem-
ingly Democratic, and has very large negro
population. So, from a Republican stand
point, it ought to be red-hot "house of
bondage" where no negro can get his rights
or his wages, and from which every negro
should run as fast rs legs can carry him. But
few of them care TO run, and these few are
regarded by the majority as deluded victims
of the Kansas promised land" humbug.
The business of the convention is to urge
them to stay in Texas, where they are well
treated, and where they can do well if willing
to work and ecnomize. The fact that such
advice is given by the best class of the colored
community shows that there is not only no
ground for serious complaint, but that the
general condition of the negroes in Texas is
all that could reasonably be desired Con
way and his disciples ought to step to the
front as soon as possible and convince the
members of the convention that they do not
know anything about Texas; that it is an
awful place in which no American citizen of
African descent can afford to remain
over night aud that the superior advantages
of Kansas and Indiana cannot be safely neg
lected, mnch less despised. While Conway
& Co. are engaged in this labor Of love, they
might MS well inquire how it is that, without
a suspicion of "bulldozing and intimidation"
at least four-ffths of the Texas blacks vote
the Democratic ticket.

Nervousness.

Every organ and every muscle in the
human body depends for its action on
nerve-force, elaborated by the brain, or
spinal ganglia and so does every thought
and feeling-the more active the think
ing, or the more intense the feeling, the
greater the expenditure of nerve-iorce.
The little white threads that run III
branches through the body from the
brain and spinal cord are merely con-
ductors of this force, just as the decline
wires are of the electricity.
The brain-battery, when in vigorous
condition, Celebrates enough nervous
force, not only for all ordinary but for a
vast deal of extraordinary use, directly
from the raw material in the blood for
in such case the raw material is fur
nished in proportion to the expenditure.
But in nervousness of every form
the balance is disturbed; the supply is
not equal TO the demand, hence there is
a state of nervous exhaustion.
BY carefully guarding the outgo, the
person may enjoy a tolerable degree of
health; but he feels, often to prostration,
little extra demand, especially if pro-
tracted. Generally self-control is weak
ened; one is easily startled laughter
and tears come at trifles; the person is
touchy, and perhaps hysterical; the blood
is impoverished, and hence no organ or
tissue in the body is properly fed, nor
can fully do its work.
This deficiency of nerve-force may re-
suit from a deficient diet; the abuse of
stimulants; too little sleep; proracted
overwork of brain or muscle long con-
tinued care, anxiety or grief; sensual or
emotional excess of any kind lack of
recreation. and other causes.

Poultry Habits.

OF all farm stock, hens are the most
easily taught. The education Of hens
can be com1enced at any age; but best
while young. They should be housed
and shut in every night, and not allowed
to roost on sheds, well sweeps, or trees /;
even neglect to shut the door on them
for one night will cause the timid ones
to seek higher roost the next night,
and they can only be found out-of. doors.
This leads to laying out of doors-a
great nuisancc-and TO constant loss
from rowing night enemies. At sunrise
every morning call the chickens all
around you, and scatter a full feed for
them; let this always be done on the
same spot of ground. Keep, in a con-
venient place, reservoir of fresh clear
water, if you have no running stream
At certain and regular times in the day,
you will find the whole flock there.
Throw no scrap of food around the dwell
ing, or you will teach them to become
house nuisance. Burn all the egg
Shells or you will teach the hens to eat
eggs in the nests. If you coop your
chicks, take hen and brood to the hen
house as soon as the coop is dispensed
with; otherwise you will have to spend
hours every night for a week before
they will house we'll Protect hens
while setting, by light board or lattice
cover to the nest, so they shall not be
annoyed by other hens wishing TO lay
with them. In fact, any bad habit or
any habit that does not suit your sur
roundings may be entirely broken up
and changed by reasonable preventa-
tive measures.

The Nude in Art.

The Bev DR.. Crosby uttered vigorous
protest in the Christian at Work against
the nude in art. He made some very
strong points when he said:
God Las clearly shown us that the hui
man body is to be covered. Art comes
forward and declares in direct opposi-
ton 20 God, that the human body shall
be stark naked. Christians leave God
and follow art. Then when we tell these
Christians that they are aiding vice, they
ridicule our yerdancy, aud call on the
world of culture TO join them in the
laugh.
1t is not the question whether it is
possible to have white marble nudity
that would be pure to every pure MIND.
To that all will agree. But the practical
question of to-day for Christians to set
tic as before God and His word is wheth-
er they can approve of nudities IN every
degree of color TO represent life, and In
every attitude of wantonness-whethe
in the name of art they can NEEDLE with
such filthy subjects rs Leda and the
Swan, Danae, Venus and Adonis, etc.,
and not be detled.
The French school of art has a faculty
for putting vice forward III yoluptuous
and attractive forms to the young, while
the moral (if there be any, as in the
"Prodigal Son. is almost hidden in
corner. And this French school is now
the fashionable one for American Christ
ians.
Besides the seductive influences of
these obscenities upon our youth, We
are to remember that every nude pictur-
ed female presupposes q nude real ie-
male sitting before the artist as his mod
ell. The immortality of the business, ev-
erv one who has read the history OF art
knows.
Has it come TO this that the Church
of Christ is ready to break down the
barriers which separated it from the IL
centious world, and to adopt Greek cul-
ture in the place of Christian ethics?
French art and the theatres are doing all
they can TO promote loose notions of the
relations bktweeu the sexes, and 10 steep
society in immortality. Some easy going
Christians are beng caught in the snare.
l. is fashionable to admire indecencles,
and Christians wish to be fashionable.
Ii is now hard to convict our low, OBJ
scene theatres before the courts, because
the plea is that the respectable theatres
have the same obscenities, ana Christian
mothers take their daughters TO thsm.

rapidly onward to an immense hoi'ow
tree and forced his way into its depths.
There was a smothered cry Of alarm,
the removing of a sheet, and Sue Salmon
stood painting in the arms of Paul
Cheney.

"Then settle it quickly, and let me 60"
she said, impatiently stamping her little
foot.
"Well, let me see. How many nights
have been haunted on my way home p
''This is my first night" asserted Sue,
"All the girls took it by turns"
"Ahl did they? And you are generous
enough to again be their scapegoat, and
take punishment along with your own p
''Yes, yes; only please let me 60"
And there were four of YOU" and
STOPPING down to her flushed face he
left four kisses burning there.
II will never forgive YOU" she ex-
claimed, struggling from him, and, stand
ing little apart, began twisting her long,
loosened hair, and coiling it at the back
of her pretty head.
81 shall be sorry for that, very sorry,
Susie dear. As ! told you to-day, you
make my life miserable, yet | love you
with all my soul"
"And l late YOU" she replied passion
ately.
Are YOU going, Susie" questioned he,
"and without single kind word ?"
"Iesw she snapped out, "and give
me that sheet. / am sure | don't know
what mother will say, because it is so
torn"
"One little word" he continued, "be-
fore you go. We may not have another
opportunity to see each other alone, as l
shall leave this place next week"
Going awayY she asked, with little
quiverin her voice, and staying her steps.
The term will soon be out, and shall
not teach longer-least Of all those who
hate and refuse to be guided by me-"
She drew nearer to his side, with
downcast eyes, and giving him her hand
said softly:
Forgive me, Mr.. Cheney, | have been
very unkind and rebeiIious. To-day you
bruised your own hand to save mine. l
saw how red and swolenit was, aud that
was the most severe punishment you
could have inflicted on me-"
"A bruised hand is nothing to bruised
heart" he replied.
81 did not know that | was injuring
so important an organ"
"When you say you hate me darling"
II did not mean ] hated you. | am
very grateful, and-and 50 sorry you are
going away"
Then if you love me-" he whispered,
twining an arm about her, bid me stay"
"Then--stay-stay, only"
"Only what, SusieP
Il am done being scapegoat for any
mortal or ghost either"
"Th.t is right, and henceforth receive
only rewards"
What she might have said in response,
he never knew, as her lips were for the
moment eliectually sealed.
A few months later Paul Cheney's city
friend was not surprised ut his return,
though he was at his bringing back a
bride the chief of his tormentors.
