Canon Raw!inson. OF Oxford, Il few

to compose the negro problem by
freely marrying colored women.
Prof. Gardner, of Albany, says that,

when the twenty seven Mexican
States become part Of the American
Union, American negroes will settle

assumes that there viii never be any

he is greatly mistaken. The move
ment has already begun. The census

Don't go to the theatre. lecture or ball,

DENY yourself to the friends that call,
And a good. long letter write
Write to the sad ola folks at home,
Who sit when the day Is done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes,
And think Of the absent one.
Don t selfishly scribble Excuse my haste.
I've scarcely time to write,"
Lest their brooding thoughts go wander

To many a by-gone night,
When they lost their needed sleep and
rest,
And every breath was prayer
That God would leave their delicate babe
TO their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel that you've no more
Of their love and counsel wise;
For the heart is strangely sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes:
1t might be well to let them believe
You never forgot them quite

Long letters home to write.
Don't think that the young and giddy

Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thoughts for you
That the old folks have to-day.

| Let sleep or pleasure wait,
Lest the letter fo- which they looked and

Be day or an hour too late.
For the sad old folks at home.

Are longing to hear of the absent one

DYNAMITE.

T..
The discovery of this and perhaps
even stronger explosives has intru-
duced new element of danger into
society, and calls for new safeguards.
1t is true that the q sassin might IN
ali ages slay his victim at more or
less risk of lis own life, and since
the discovery Of gum owder his pow.
er of destroying not only life, but
buildings has been greatly increased !;
nevertheless, mankind got along, in
times OF peace, with comparatively
little mOlestation from the secret use
lof snch destructive powers. 1t was
in wars that their terrible ravages Oc-
Cured. The discovery Of dynamite
and other similar explosives nas
greatly increased the power of de
struction of the secre, foe. and in
like measure decreased the danger Of
his detection 1t therefore becomes
necessary to enact new laws to pro-
tect life and property from them.
Such law Britain has been forced
to enact in hot haste ON account OF
the imminent danger in which her
tpublic buildings, and in fact whole
cities, We're placed BY tue dynamite
plots OF freshmen in America and
Britain.
The manufacture and sale Of these
powerful explos. .ve-, except by licens-
ed establish ents, is prohibited by
the law under severe penalties. The
possession Of them, unless it can be
sho sn that they are to be used for
lawful purposes, is made crime sub.
ject to twenty years imprisonment
AS is the sending Of them by mail or
by carriers or vessels. except for law
full purposes; and ample authority is
given to inspect all suspicious boxes,
trunks. ETC., before allowing them tu
te taken on board ship or permitting
them to b. landed. Tue most effect
i've clauses of the new law are those
which condemn all who in any way
conspi ir or k,.Lw.nely aid any
plot to blow up buildings, or to as
sassinate persons. and this is to take
effect on british SUBJECTS who con
