A Pen Picture of TaImage.

Talmage is not much handsomer
than the caricatures which the public
see so constantly repeated, but he has
little of their comicality. His mouth,
like his church, is more commodious
than that of any other American cler
gyman. Otherwise he is common
looking man. His hair is straight, and
reaches to his coat collar behind,
but not nearly to his forehead in front.
His checks are nearly covered by side
whiskers. The whole face is mobile
and expressive, but the irregular fea
lures are by no means grOtesque.
When he smiles, You know it, but you
do not see the idiOtic grin of il clown.
He steps high in walking to and fro on
the platform, but does not jump up
and crack his heels together. He uses
his arms freely in gesticulation, but
they never look like more than two.
He is not a jumping jack-at least he
was not on this occasion. Perhaps
there was nothing in the sermon eX-
citing enough to pull the string. Gods
mercy is great topic, but rather old,
and the preacher had nothing to say
on it that could have startled either
himself or his hearers. There was
nothing clerical or careful in his dress.
He wore black frOck coat, unbut-
toned, and black vest and trousers,
all having the cut of good business
suit, and fitting his lean figure well.
| His shirt collar was incOnspicuOusly
turned down, and his necktie was
black He not only failed to he very
demonstrative, but was not even awk-
ward How many public speakers
could gracefully occupy Il platform
without a desk or anything else to
put their hands on He did it. His
gestures were always appropriate and
seemingly spontaneous he moved
| about with unconventional freedom
| he did not use so much as a scrap Ot
paper for reference all that he did
! had the manner of eXtempOraneOus
ness. Right there was the astonishing
! thing about Talmage. | happened tC
know that his sermon, about five thou
sand words long, was already in type
and that he had committed it to mem
DRY by studying the printed slips. His
voice was strong and lOud, and he
| kept it at a high key, as the size of the
auditorium required but there wa,
no Pcrceptible straining after effect
and no signs that he had memorized
the language. So thoroughly had ht
done so, however, that the actual de
livery differed only in the slightest
degree from the copy. | do not believe
that a sentence was omitted, and Ger
tainly the adherence to the Origina
was closer than that of most actors t.
the language of their parts. When i
/ is considered that the longest role in {
play seldom equals that sermon il
length, and that the actor is aided by
the breaking up of his lines into dia
logue, by the dramatic situations il
which lie is placed, and by the prompt
er whenever his recollection fails, theI
r Talmage's two feats of memory ever
Sunday may be fully cOmprehended.-

Education Of the COIOred Wan.

The question of the capacity of the
cOlorcd people to rcceire education Is
one of great interest. 1t is, of course,
still uncertain whether many of them
will bc found capable of acquiring II
high degree of intellectual culture, and
considerable time will he required
for the solution of this problem. 1t
does not appear to me probable that
the race in general will prove to he
possessed of sufficient intellectual fiber
and tenacity to enable them to endure
the labor and discipline upon which a
varied and complex culture depends.
Ii will he very strange, considering
their anteccdcnts and their present en-
virOnment, if the colOrcd people do not
show themselves manifcstly inferior to
the whites. | think that the sanguine
friends of the black people may he dis
appointed by the results of their edu-
cation, because, as it seems to me, they
expect too much of Il generation which
has no intellectual past behind it. But
it is possible that the disappointment
really awaits those who are less hope
ful. The negro has not failed where
he has had fair trial. He was suc-
ccssfuI as Il slave. The race was de-
velOped and benefited by slavery in
this country, instead of being corrupt
ed and ruined 10y it, and this may indi-
cate the possession of qualities which
will render it capable of high degree
of civilization but it is more prOba-
BILE that its most important character
istics are such us fit it for IA subordinate
position. In such IA relation to IA
stronger race, the black people would
be likely to evince great tenacity and
power of endurance under conditions
of depression and misfortune. But it
is question whether the race is pos
sessed of qualities which will render it
in high degree vital and efficient in
its relation to the actual environment
here in America. Negroes have great
er initiative ability than the whites.
and they acquire the rudiments of
knowledge with readiness which is
often wonderful; but | doubt their
possessing capacity for sustained and
complex intellectual exertion. Yet
they have more of sentiment, fire and
passion in their nature than the white
people, and these elements may great
| ly increase the vigOr and efficiency OF
| intellectual ndOwment.-lT The Allan
| tic Monthly.

trembled as | said this. My wife must
have noticed it, for something like
moist, shining pity trembled IL her
beautiful eyes. At my taking leave,
she held the little one toward me and
asked, in soft, caressing tones, "Will
you not say adieu to our childY" took
up the little one, perhaps too roughly;
at all events he began to cry and to re-
sist my caresses. Then | put him
down and hastened away.
| travelled in uncertainty through
the world, and behold after the first
few days, in addition to my ordinary
travelling companion, bad humOr, there
came another fellow who told me
plainly that | was a fool. First it
sounded like whisper, then louder
and louder: "yOu are a downright
fool" Finally, read it in the news

blue mountains the locomotive
Shrieked it to me. Yes, | believed it
why did | not then and there turn my
face homeward Well, the fool must
travel it all off before everything
would be right again.
At last, one day, with a violent beat
ing of my heart, | again entered my
dwelling. What solemn stiffness
reigned there! | could now hear the
sound of whispering voices; my wife
came toward me. at is sick, very
sick" moaned she; sit will surely
die :" | tried to comfort her. Only
short time, however, proved that her
fears were but too well grounded.
During the last night we both sat by
thn littln ha1 Shn thnrn and | hnrf
each of us holding one of his little
hands. All these feverish pulse
beats every stroke sounding like an
appeal. Our eyes met, full and earnest
through the glittering tears, as in il
first, holy vow. Words would have
seemed sacrilege then. Not long af-
ter we laid our darling in the warm
spring earth.
When we again sat down at our ta
bile, there was IL stiffness between us !;
but it was not the same stiffness as
that which the little stranger had bro
ken in upon with his parting papa"
Even by the wall still stood his high
arm chair, and on the little board be-
fore it lay his spOOn-sccpter. My wife
reached her fine, white hand over the
table, and asked, did you also love
it ?-at least little ?" Her voice
trembled. "My wife I! my sweet, my
own wife - called l. Then | fell at
her feet and held her hands fast in
mine, II love thee, my wife, oh, my
wife! ~
After the first emotion had subsidized,
| pointed to the armchair. "The lit
tie one came to teach us love-" whis-
pered |. "And when it had finished
it's teaching, it went again to the an
gels" added she, through her tears.
One day the physician stepped out
of my wite's room, with "A smiling face.
He touched the little arm chair as he
passed it. saying: ''Let it stand there +;
you will need it again"
Really Was it possible? Had |
deserved such happiness ?
As | held my wife close to my heart
in my irrepressible joy | could not for
bear to bend down to her blushing lit
tie face, and say, eve will love it
dearly, very dearly, is it not so 2
