One of the great subjects of our clos
ing part of the 10Th century is Fred
Douglass and his wife. The scribes say
that the wifes folk will not recognize
her since she married the man with the
dusky skin. This is a great premium on
other women to do likewise, for it seems
to be the only way to get rid of ones
relatives and connexions. 1t might occur
to some people that the possession of in
tellect, morality and kindness in man
made attractions above the color of the
skin or the kink of the hair. have
never noticed that white men, especially
where these prejudices are the strongest,
fed in great fear from the dusky women.
There must be some accounting for these
mulattoes. The fine qualities of Fred
Douglass he gets from the white race.
His father was white man from Mary
land, but the father never had such good
traits as the son. Douglass is always
right, without forethought. His incen-
tives, through the moral cultivation of
years, are all just and Christian. AL
though believer, he is no bigot, and
when saw him at one of Ingersoll's lee
lures in Washington afterward and drew
comparison between the lecturers
ideas and this former slaves honesty of
religious faith, he wrote me letter tell
ing how on one occasion when he came
to a town in the freezing night and no
hotel nor private house would let negro
sleep there Ingersoll came down and
took him to chamber and put him in
one of his best beds and called him his

~ F"TER THE BALL.

She counts her conquests all as naught
Before this browning one
The love that seemed to come unsousht
Like splendors of the sun.
And every word he spoke tonight
Is craven on her brain
In letters of auroral light,
Forever to remain
She lays her lips upon the hands
His fervent lips have kissed;
And Ger her clear eyes as she stands
There comes happy mist.
What was her charm in form or face
O'er others at the ball
That he mould do her such a grace
AS choose her mid them all?
Ske casts her shining silks aside,
Aud robes her for her rest;
Her only dream till morning-tide,
HE loves me-loves me best
oh virgin faith o face so sweet.
heart that pulses true.
Will any mans heart ever beat
As loyalty for you?

He leaves the ball, but not for rest,
And not for faithful dream;
Life needs, it seems, another zest
Where Lais reigns supreme.
Fill high the beaker with champagne,
And crown the board with tlow'rs;
husband may not know again
Such gay Bohemian hours.
Not his the love that lives for aye,
Not his the loyal troth;
His passion lasts summer day,
He swears traitors oath.
So take this moral mid the strife
Of Hymeneal plans,
That love is all woman's life,
And only half mans.

1t is remarkable fact that the travel

will find himself going along the path of
temperance cyclone. He will find the
capital city (Richmond) of Virginia in
the heat of a prohibition campaign. He
will find Raleigh, the tarheel metropolis,
trying to drive rum out. In Atlanta,
Georgia's capital, he will find the work
already done. Due west on line Of rail
he will find Meridian and Jackson, the

to Columbus:
"Can you discover America ?"
yes" said Columbus, eff you will
give me ship"
So he had a ship and he sailed over
the sea in the direction where he
thought America night be found.
The sailors quarreled and said they
believed there was mo such place.
But after many days the pilot came
to him and said, columbus. l see

Daniel Webster used sometimes to

Judge Dudley, trader and farmer,
manuscript copy of which he had for
years in his desk. 1t was a treat to
hear him read it in pure and undefiled
English, as it doubtless came from
Judge Dudley's lips:
you have heard, gentlemen of the
jury, what has been said in this case
by the lawyers, the rascals! but, no, /
will not abuse them. 1t is their bust

have done in this case well enough;
but you and /, gentlemen, have some
thing else to consider. They talk of
law. Why, gentlemen, it is not law
that we want. but justice. They would
govern us by the common law of Eng
land. Trust me, gentlemen, common
sense is a much safer guard for us;
