The Preservation of Negro Dia-
1ect HYMNS.

An old colored woman of Atlanta was
asked how their dialect hymns were
brought into existence. She answered ::
"Well, I reckon de spirit was a crowd
in an dey jess had to come out"
A good definition of inspiration, was
it not?
Among the more intelligent negroes
I find strange disposition to eschew
these wonderful slave songs. The young
men and women of Atlanta University
seem to share, in measure, this slight
ly contemptous estimation of the old
melodies. [ suppose it is because their
awakening intelligence associates them
with the degradation of their race,
and they have not the penetration to
see that these wonderful hymns embody
the very genius of their people.
Another fact makes it hard to gather
together reliable collection; the va
rious hymns are sung differently in diff
ferent localities, SO that frequently two
versions of the same piece would hardly
be recognized as akin. This was the
inevitable result of the illiteracy of the
negro, whereby both words and music
were unwritten for 50 long time.
1t is matter of regret to me that in
most of the Southern city colored
churches an effort has been made to dis
card these plantation melodies, except
in social religious meetings. Cores

The Folly of Leaving Great For
tunes to Children.
Ne W York Letter in the Utica Herald.

u.
1t is often question with men OF
great wealth what to do with it. II
they leave it for their children, it gen.
orally proves their ruin. Here, for in
stance, is a grandson of John J. Phelps
who has just committed suicide. ]
remember John J. Phelps as a splendid
business man, who pursued wealth
with an intense greed and left half
dozen millions. Such instances meet
one at every turn in high life, and wealth
so often proves only the rapid way to
ruin that the prospect is often painful
In this connection l may mention that
Fifth avenue now contains two vacant
houses side by side which recall the
history of distinguished family. One
belongs (by purchased to E. d. Morgan
and the other has recently become his
by inheritance. 1t was occupied by his
grandfather (the late EX-GOVERNOR,
and still later by his widow. The
grandson closed up his establish
ment and started on round the
globe voyage in his yacht, accompanied
by his wife and few friends, and dur
ing his absence his grandmother died.
As she had no other descendants, the
house is left in charge of housekeep-
er. It is sad to think that SO noble a
pair as the ex-governor and his wife are
gone never to return, and there is but
little consolation in the prospective use
to which their wealth will be devoted.
With the exception of q few legacies. not
equal to one-twentieth of the estate, it
all goes to the present E. D. Morgan,
who on his return will find the splen-
did houses awaiting him, and also . few
millions Of spending money. Alas, to
think that when a young man is loaded
with money it is almost sure to sink
HIM. While young Ned Morgan has
two elegantly furnished houses in the
center Of fashion, there are, on the other
hand IS. 900 homeless wretches within
stones throw of them, who are glad to
find lodgings at the station houses.

Story of a Smart American Dog.
From the Spectator.

From the Spectator.
One summer afternoon group of
children were playing at the end of a
pier Which projects into Lake Ontario,
near Kingston, New York, U. S. A.
The proverbial careless child of the
party made the proverbial backward
step off the pier into the water. None
of his companions could save him. and
their cries had brought no one. from
the shore, when, just as he was sinking
for the third time, a superb Newfound-
land dog rushed down the pier into the
water, and pulled the boy out. Those
of the children who did not accompany
the boy home took the dog to a confec-
toners on the shore, and fed him with
az great variety of cakes and other
sweets as he would eat. SO far the
story is of course, only typical of scores
of we'll known cases. The individual
ity of this case is left for the sequel.
The next afternoon, the same group
of children were playing at the same
place, when the canine hero of the day
before came trotting down to them
with the most friendly wags and mods.
There being no occasion this time for
supplying him with del1cacies, the chill
dren only stroked and patted him.
The dog however, had not come out of
pure sociability. A child IN the water
and cakes and candy stood to him in
the close and obvious relation of cause
and effect, and if this relation was not
clear to the children, he resolved to
impress it upon them. Whatchlng his
chance, he crept up behind the child
who was standing nearest to the edge of
the pier, gave sudden push, which
sent him into the water, than sprang in
after him, and gravely brought him to
the shore.
70 those of us who have had high
respect for the disinterestedness of dogs,
this story may give proof that the dsvel-
opment of the intelligence, at the ex-
pense of the moral nature, is by no
means exclusively human.

A Last Kiss.

The rough miner who, in Califor-
mia theatre, when the orchestra struck
up as fto drown the cries of little
child, yelled out, stop your fiddlin',
and let's hear that babyr' gave char
acteristic illustration of the feeling
every man has when long an exile from
home and friends. The pathos of the
situation is deepened if the absentee Is
a husband and father, and the emo
ton awakened in the breast of such o
one, a soldier far away from home, by
the sight of babe in its mothers arms,
can only be guessed by a single man.
While on their way to Gettysburg,
our troops were marching by night
through village, over whose gateway
hung lighted lanterns, while young
girls shed tears as they watched the
brothers of other women march on to
possible death. A scene of the march
is thus described by the author of "Bul-
let and She'll"
Stopping for moment at the gate of
n dwelling, l noticed a young mother
leaning over it with chubby child in
her arms. Above the woman's head
swung couple of stable lanterns, their
light falling full upon her face.
The child was Growing with delight at
the strange pageant, as it watched the
armed host pass on.

Manners, one OF my men, Us he dropped

mother and her child.
Il beg your pardon. but may kiss

like him ut home; ut least he was when
last saw him, two years ago."
The mother, sympathetic tear roll
ing down her blooming cheek, silently
held out the child. jim pressed his un
shaver face to its innocent. smiling lips
for Il moment and then walked on say
ing
