Tile Regeneration of Africa.

Prof. T. McCants Stewart, a colored
South Carolinian now acting as general
agent for the advancement Of industrial
education in Liberia, lectured to large
audience at Morris Brown A. M. E.
Church last night on "The regeneration
of Africa"
Prof. Stewart began by saying that
Africa had already played an important
part in the ancient history of the world
and that every indication points to the
fact that she will yet act an important
role in its modern history, and that when
she does become civilized, hers will be
the finest civilization of the world. We
have been acquainted with Northern
Africa for centuries and with Southern
Africa for generations, as both of these
portions are without the tropical zone,
but Central Africa has until within the
last fifty years been as unknown to out
siders as the contents of sealed book.
Since the explorations of Livingston and
Stanley have thrown open much of this
portion of the continent and shed q ray
of light into some Of its darkest recesses
there is every reason 10 believe that Its
regeneration and civilization will be
more speedy than it has been up to this
time. The reason why more has not
been accomplished in this direction is
that there is an unhealthy belt extending
around the continent for a distance of
about fifty miles from the coast, and the
colored emigrants who have gone there
from this country have been compelled
to settle in this coast belt on account of
their poverty and inexperience, and
good deal of the yigor aud vim which
they carry with them from this country
is taken out of them. He did not think
that the time had yet come for general
emigration to Africa, and said that the
only kind of emigration that could now
result in any good to the emigrants and
to the country was that which was back
ed not only by thrift and industry, but
also by capital. AS you advance into
the interior of the country the climate
becomes healthier, and hence it is that
the hope of the regeneration of Central
Africa lies in the development of the in.
terror towns and settlements. 1t will
have to be founded upon the aboriginal
stock, in other words, the development of
Central Africa will have to come from
within. Liberia, the lecturer said, is in
fairly prosperous condition, but moth
ing to boast of. The trouble is that most
of the emigrants who have settled there
are poor and ignorant and not in a con-
dition to promote its development. What
the country needs is not muscle, lit has
plenty of that but capital.-Necs and

Gen. Lee on the Object. of the War.

Mr.. John Leyburn, of Baltimore, pub.
fishes in the Century highly interesting
account of an interview which he had
with Gen. R. E. Lee shortly after the
close Of the war. What was said on the
subject of slavery as the object of the
war is reported by Mr.. Leyburn as fol-.
lows:
CATER dwelling with emphasis and
then introduced another topic which
also moved him deeply, viz, the persist
ent manner in which the leading North
ern Journals, and the Northern people
generally, insisted that the object of the
war had been to secure the perpetuation
of slavery. On this point he seemed not
only indignant, but hurt. BE said it
was not true. He declared that, for
himself, he had never been an advocate
of slavery; that he had .emancipated
most of his slaves years before the war,
and had sent to Liberia those who were
willing to go; that the latter were writ
ing back most affectionate letters to him,
some of which he received through the
lines during the war. he said, also, as
an evidence that the colored people did
not consider him hostile to their race,
that during his visit TO Baltimore some
of them who had known him when he
was stationed there had come up in the
most afectionate manner and put their
hands into the carriage window to shake
hands with him. They would hardly
have received him in this way, he
thought, had they looked upon him as
fresh from war intended for their op-
preston and injury. One expression
T must give in his own words:
$50 far, said Gen. Lee, from engaging
in war to perpetuate slavery, | am
rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I
believe it will be greatly for the interests
of the South. So fully am l satisfied of
this, as regards Virginia especially, that
I would cheerfully have lost all | have

ed.' This he said with much earnest
ness"
This is precisely what one would have
expected to hear from Gen. Lee, and it
accords, we fully believe, with the gene
raj sentiment of the South. Grants
armies would have made short work of
their opponents if they had encountered
only those Confederates who were fight
ing for the perpetuation of slavery.
Gen. Lee was right, also, in asserting
that the abolition of slavery would be
beneficial to the South. The danger is
not in emancipation, but in enfranchise-
ment, and the serious dangers of enfran.

a Remedy For .Sprees.

A young wife had just settled in her
new home. All seemed fair and promis.
ing, for she did not know her husband
was drunkard. But one night be came
home at very late hour and much the
worse for liquor. When he staggered
into the house his wife was very much
shocked; he told her he was sick and
must lie down at once; and in moment
or two he was comfortably laid on the
sofa in drunken sleep. His face was
reddish purple, and altogether he was a
pitiable-looking object. The doctor was
sent for in haste, and mustard applied to
the patients feet and hands. When the
doctor came and examined him, and
found lie was only drunk, ne said: HE
will be all right in the morning" But
the wife insisted that he was very sick
and that severe remedies must be used.
"You must shave his head and apply
blisters," she urged, cor will send for
some one who will" The husbands head
was accordingly shaved close and blisters
were applied. The patient lay all night
in drunken sleep, and, Notwithstanding
the blisters were eating into his flesh, it
was not till near morning that he began
to beat about, disturbed by the pain.
About daylight he woke up in the un::
comfortable consciousness of blistered
agonies. "What does this mean? he
said, putting his hand to his bandaged
head. "Lie still; you mustn't stir" said
his wife "you have been sick" $! am
not SICK" "Oh, yes, you are; you have
had the brain fever. We have worked
With you all night" II should think
you had," groaned the poor victim
"what's the matter with my feet?"
"They are blistered." "Well, am better
now; take off the blisters-do," he
pleaded piteously. He was in most
uncomfortable state-his head covered
with sores, and his feet and hands still
worse. "Dear," he said, "if ever Ishould
get sick in this way again, don't be
alarmed and send for doctor, above all,
don't blister me again." ooh! indeed |
will! ALI that saved you we're the blis-
ters. And if you have another such
spell I shall be more frightened than
ever, for the tendency, am sure, is to
apoplexy, and from the next attack you
are likely to die unless the severest
measures are used" He made no further
defense. Suffice it to say that he never
had another attack.-Daily BaAimorean.

The CAild's Prayer.

"Kiss me good night, papa, I have
said my prayers" and with the fathers
kiss upon her lips the darling child goes
peacefully to sleep. The little crib, that
happy face 80 calm in slumber, that little
evening prayer sent up to God with such
innocence and faith, do you not remen-
Der it father, mother.
The youngest child, the darling of the
household, the dear, sweet girl, what
a wealth of love she receives !
Where in life is there aught 80 pure as
that homelike scene? Does not the
memory of it come back sweet and fra
grant to refresh the heart, as rain upon
the thirsty fields?
How tenderly the little pillow is
smoothed /! How softly the quilt is
spread over the little slumberer as she
Law with lips half closed, the teeth of
pearly whiteness cleaning through that
fringe of red 4!
Child of my heart and love, sleep on !;
dream on the long night throug b. In
nocent the sleep; innocent the sleeper;
innocent and pure the prayer.
Sacred and holy is the altar from
whence that prayer ascends. Not in the
church with its rich frescoes and gorge
Gus windows, is that altar reared, but in
the sacredness and sanctity of home,
where marriage VOWS are kept unbroken.
That altar, do you not remember it by
the side of the little crib? That kneel-
ing child, with folded palms, do you not
see her in her long white robe? That,
little pleading voice, which so often was
as music, do you not hear its sweet tones
again as she prays to her Father in
heaven? Was ever picture painted on
canvas so fair and pure? Was ever
PRAYER offered so full of faith and trust?
Was ever heaven brought so near to
earth?
The vision of it comes back framed as
in gold after long years of mingled Joy
and sorrow. That quiet room, the quiet
evening hour, the little crib with its
snow-white pillow and its snow-white
counterpane, the little girl with her oval
face, her dark. brown hair falling in
waving folds from her clear, white brow,
under which sparkled round and full jet
black eyes.
eyes, child, kneel again and pray to
thy Father in heaven. In the busy world
there is no calm, in wealth and fashion
no deep, pure joy, no quiet rest such as
is found in thy goodnight kiss and thy
nursery prayer. =,
This kiss is love, thy prayer is faith,
and these are the jewels of the home.
They burn with undying glow through
all changing years and mingle at last
into the deeper and purer radiance OF
the love and home in heaven.
