The Negroes Claims.

We clip the following sensible talk
from the Nashville Banner:
The recent convention of the negroes
of this State, which assembled in tie
State capitol, was an evidence of their
desire to advance aud elevate themsei YES
in the social and political scale. This
desire is to be placed to their credit.
The white people of the State have no
objection to every laudable effort they
make in this direction. Indeed, the
white people of Tennessee have shown
in the plainest possible manner that they
want the negro educated. The white
people are paying for their education
from ten TO twenty dollars where they
themselves pay one. There is not prob
ably one negro in a thousand throughout
the State who is not dependent in some
way or another on white people for en-
pIoyment, for advice ard for homes.
These are simply facts that no conven'
ticn can change, no resolution blot out
and no speech cOntrovert. The posses
sion Of tile ballot cannot change the fact
The make great mistakes when they
undertake to compel the white people To
accord them status to which they are
not entitled, either by their intelligence
or voting power.
In this State, at least, the negro is in
minority, and will SO continue to the
end of time. For them, in the face OF
these things, to present an issue of races,
is most absurd. They will, in time, see
and appreciate the truth. 1t is by no
means our purpose to discourage the
praise. worthy efforts of leading negroes
to advance, improve and elevate their
people. But taking the history of man
kind, they should not be surprised that
not in one generation nor in several gen.
erations have any people emerged from
q slate of servitude and entire iliteracy
and become the superi0rs or the equals
socially or intellectually Of those who
lately controlled them.

THE MYSTERY OF THE STARS.

When night that wells the earth, unveils the sky
And opens worlds unnumhered to the eye
kinding with light the spreading vault Ger
srchng;
The starry groups which stud the heavenly space,
That shone on patriarchs of the early race,
Are shining yet and with majestic pace
Along their ancient pathways still are march
ing
Orion in the clear autumnal nights,
Comes proudly climbing up the eastern heights,
His silvery bands in all their beauty cleaning;
Arcturus greets us with his shining face,
The Pleiades still wear their native grace,
The North Star hangs above the empty place.
Where the mysterious Arctic fires are stream
ing.
But, oh, what thought can sound these boundless
deeps,
Where awful silence Der grim empire keeps,
Aud where the worlds merry wheels are
speeding?
With wondering, longing eyes we stand and gaze,
With seers and sages Of prmeval days,
And while our hearts 60 out in hymns of praise,
Our nmost souls for light, for light are plead
ing.
How lone and desolate these fields of air.
Except an everything God be there
To rule and guide through all these boundless
ranges;
A King, with power to act kngy part,
A heavenly Father with fathers heart
TO feel His children's every grief and smart,
And bear them up through all life's weary
changes.
IT. on the wings of morning we can fise,
And range the outmost limits of the skies,
Where the long wondering stars are homeWard
wheeling,
And feel that God attends us on our flight,
These dreary soitudes are filled with hight,
The heavens aud earth are but mirror bright.
Gods greatness, wisdom, power aud love re-
yealing.
