a Touching Instance.

A touching instance of insect
instinct has Just been sent to us.
The writer says: Il found a cock
roach struggling in o bowl OF
water. I took half peanut shell
for boat. [ put him in it, gave
him two wooden toothpicks for
oars, and left him. The next
morning visited him, and he had
put a piece of white cotton thread
on one of the tuothPicks, and set
the toothpick on one end as a sig
nal OF distress. He had a hair on
the other toothpick, and there that
cockroach sat a fishing. The cock
roach, exhausted, had fallen asleep.
The sight melted me to tears. I
had never to chew leather to get a
soul; | was born with one. / took
that cockroach out, gave him a
spoonful Of Cruel, and left. That
animal never forgot my kindness,

Cheerful Women /.

In marrying, men should seek
happy women. They make a ter
BILE mistake when they marry for
beauty talent or style. The sweet
est wives are those who possess
the magic secret of being happy
C,der any or every circumstance.
Rich or poor, high or low,it makes
no difference-the bright little
fountain of JOY will bubble up
just as muslcally in their hearts.
Nothing ever goes wrong with
/ them; no trouble is too serious for
them ''to make the best of it.
Was ever the stream of calamity
SO dark and deep that tLesunlight
of happy face across it, turbid
tide would not awake an answer
ing CLEAN? Why, the joyous
tempered people do not know half
the good they do. No matter how
cross and crabid you feel, no mat
ter if your brainii full of medita-
tion Oh "afiicting dispensations,'
and your stomach with medicines,
pills and tonics, just get one of
those CHEEKY little women talking
to you, and we are not afraid to
wager anything that she can cure
you. The long drawn line about
your mouth will relax, the cloud
of settled gloom will vanish-no-
body knows whare-and the first
thing you know you are laughing.
All what blessing are these hap
py women. How often their little
hands guide the ponderous ma
chinery of life with an almost in
visible touch! No one knows, no
one will ever know, until the day
of judgment reveals, how much
we owe to those, hope full uncom-
complaining, happy womenl

That Social Equality Business Causes
Lady the Loss of Her Diamond
Ring.
Quitman Free Press.
As proof that our people have
been correct in their surmises that
the lady(?) teachers in Mr.. PARIS
colored school were decidedly on
the social equality" line, we give
the following which comes to us
ffom q reliable. source:-..Among
the visitors or scholars at the col
lege was negro well-known in
the community, named Ranlal
Coalson. Randall is not a very
bad negro and we never heard
that he was extraordinary pious.
Nevertheless he is a negro all
over, very nearly as black as the
ace of spades, about thirty years
old, which would seem to pre- ,lude
the idea of his being a student,
and weighs probably $50 pounds.
1t seems that between the said
Randall and one of the white teach
ers, whose name we never learued,
but who will be remembered as
the tall, light-haired one with the
UoLuptuonS mouth, there existed
considerable degree of intimacy,
So intimate had they become in
deed, that the lady in playful mood
lent the aforesaid Coalson her fine
diamond ring. Whether the ring
was intended for an engagement
ring or merely lent for the pur-
pose Of enabling the colored party
to cut a swell for a few days still
remains mystery, ard the whole
matter might have continued
mystery had not Coalson lost
the ring. And now the lady let's
the cat out of the bag by sending
to the marshal, Mr.. Dinkins, with
the request that Ae use his official
capacity to recover her diamond.
Coalson being pushed up a little
to return the ring called on the
jeweler, Mr.. Barnes, for the pur-
pose of buying one to replace the
one lost. The first rings shown
him were worth about four dol
lars. These were too expensive,
and he finally compromised on
one for which he paid doiiar and
this he presented to the lady to
replace the lost diamond, which it
is said was worth one hundred
and fifty dollars.
Such carrying on" as this be-
tween a white woman and a negro
fellow are simply indecent, unnat-
uraI, outrageous and disgusting.
A woman at the north who
would be guilty of flirting with a
negro would be classed as she is
here with the lowest dregs Of So
ciety. Can the citizens of any
community, north or south, be
blamed if they are opposed to the
"Social equality teachings of such
creatures? Our most intelligent
negroes here understand the stu
alton. They do not ask for or de-
sire social equality, and full we'll
they know that those who teach it
do so through selfish or vindictive
motives or in consequence of ut
ter Ignorance. We do not publish
the foregoing in a spirit of porse-
cution, but to show that if these
people have not been received
among us with open arms there
was good reason why they should
not have been.
The Dawson journal., 1885-12-03


foR any town to grow and pros
per there must be unity of pur-
pose, concert Of action and an un-
selfish willingness on the part OF
rich and poor to do something to
add to the general comfort, con-
venience and Thrift. To live in a
community and be constant bene-
fclqries OF everything that adds
10 'ts prosperity,and like a sponge

WHEN a rakish young man goes
astray friends gather around in
order to restore him to the path Of
virtue. Gentleness and kindness
are layished upon him to bring
him back to innocence and peace.
No one would ever suspect that
he had sinned. But when a poor,
confiding girl is betrayed she re-
ceives the brand of society and is
henceforth driven from the way OF
virtue, The betrayer is honora-
bly, received; there is no place for
her this side of the grave. Socie-
ty has no helping hand for her, no
smile of peace,no voice of forgive
ness. There is a deep wrong in
this, and fearful are the conse-
quences. And yet to our shame
be itsaid, in this Christian land,
we boast of humanity and kind
ness to woman!

LOCAL AND GENERAL ITEMS.

LET no one despise the country
home, for around it cluster the
sweetest, purest, truest memories
in life, to all who have experience
ed its blessing. The old farm
house, though RAPIDLY going to
decay, has the carressing tendrils
of ivy about its caves that hide
the scars made by the rude hand
of Time, and teach us the glories
of affcc ion. We should love and
never hate the sacred pile. With
in its sanctuary we first saw the
light; heard the glad choristers of
Nature pipe their evening and
their matin songs; received fa-
theirs blessing, and basked in the
sunlight of a sainted mothers
presence. Around the ingle, when
the snowhakes and biting frost
drew its fanciful pictures on the
window panes, we gathered for
the evening diversion. Who were
so happy as we, the lords of do
main, the heirs of contentment?
A thousand ties are scattered
around the country home. Do
not break them for the glare ard
tinsel and vanity of a home in the
city, where many hearts are pray
ing for su;h as are dwellers in
humble homes, where Nature
heals the wounds, and binds up
the bruised branches of life.
