The SOUTHERN NEGRO's DOG.-When
you come to study the matter you will find
Just as much difference between the south
ern negro's dog and the white mans dog,
as there is between a canine owned by a
negro and one which comes when Senator
snaps his fingers.
The Southern colored man who is too
poor to have a mule, OK, pig, fowls, doors,
windows, or Fireplace in his cabin, has a
dOg-sOmetimes four or five. When he
comes to town at least one follows him.
When you pass his home the whole family
of CANNES bark at you from distance, or
silently gaze at you from the doorstep.
The negro's dog is a slouch. He is built
on wrong principles to begin with. It
would seem as if half of him had been on
earth for a year or two before the other
half was hitched on. He seems to realize
that he isn't ''purty," and he behaves ac-
cOrdingly. He is almost invariably of
dun-color. He sidles along where other
dogs trot, and if he isn't stump-tailed he is
lucky canine. He follows along in a
humble manner, as if begging pardon tor
being on earth, and the smallest Whiffet
can scare him until his eyes stand out like
peeled onions.
You never see one misbehaVe IN town:
He sits under the wagon, if there is one; If
not, he follows his masters heels up and
down and around in abject humility, ready
to run at the slightest alarm-ready to re-
turn as soon as danger has passed. Step on
him and he will not show tooth speak to
him and he skips out with his tail dragging.
The master may be ever so independent,
but the dog has no business on earth lie IS
an interloper. He feels this, and he sinks
and slouches, and if perchance he happens
to utter bark as a stranger rides up he is
at once seized with the most dreadful re-
morse, and he goes for the sWamps to do
pennance and convince himself that it was
purely accidental.-DetroH Free Press.
BowINGToTHEI EINEvITABLE.-TheC Chris
tim Commonwealth has a timely article on
"NIaking the best of the Inevitable" What
the inevitable is may be defined as evil that
can not be avoided-the marred fortunes
that can never be mended, the impaired
constitution that can never be made strong
again, the lost life of our beloved that can
never be restored Under such experiences
there can be no way of endurance equal to
that of being assured that God is love and
of being fully persuaded that no natural
evil lies outside of His will.
The duty of submission to the divine will
is imperative, but we can only recognize
it when we are made to see and feel that
our own preferences are in conflict with
Gods plans. When this is once made clear,
there is no alternative left us but to bow to
the inevitable and to seek comfort in the
confidence that all that occurs is wisely
and lovingly ordered by our Heavenly
Father. SIN trying to learn this lesson of
submission to a will very different from our
own, we may find the most powerful and
acceptable aid in the example of Him who
in Gethsemane showed that he had learned
the prayer which his own lips had taught
to others: 'Thy will be done Father, not
as will, but as Thou wilt If by this con-
fessedly difficult path we can only get near
enough to cast our burden on the bosom of
infinite love, we shall win from the inevi-
table a present victory and an ultimate joy
not to be wrung from chance or fate.-Bap-
tist Weekly.
