What to DO with the Dead.

There is an institution in England
called the " Earth to Earth Society,
which deserves to be better known
than it is throughout the world.
While acknowledging all the evils of
our present burial system as set forth
by the cremationists, the members of
this society object to the burning OF
the body as repulsive, and as an un-
necessary waste of material which
might enrich the soil. In the decom-
position of the body after death, there
results q watery vapor, carbonic acid
and sulphate Of ammonia, which, if
the corpse is placed in dry earth,
mipgle rapidly with the soil, and be-
come inert and inodorous. Confined
in q strong coffin, these substances
become extremely offensive. 1t is
simply horrible to contemplate the
fostering mass which is the result of
Theoretically sealing up our mortal re-
maine. Then, tho preservation of
this noxious compound makes every
graveyard and cemetery peril to
the health of the living. The germs
of terrible pestilences arc often thus
kept alive for centuries. The "Earth
to Earth Society" says that tho
body, enwrapped in a single robe,
should be placed in an open wicker
basket, covered with flowers, and
then buried in dry earth. There is
then no fostering, no production of
poisonous compounds, but a whole
some mingling of tho atoms that
form our bodies with the earth from
which we originally came. Ophelia's
brother, at her death, expressed the
hope that "violets might spring from
her fair and unpolluted fesh," an ex-
preston as scientific as poetical, as
plant-life would be nourished by the
decay of the body without pollution,
if our resting place was under the
green sward without any covering
between us and the ground in which
we were placed. Cremation would
be an improvement upon our present
method of burial, but it is a hard
trial to consign ones dearest rela-
lives to the flames. Then, it removes
al trace of such crimes as poisoning,
which would not be the case in earth

A country paper, more especially
than any other, is by consent made O
free public hack-horse, for everybody
to ride at will, without money and
often without thanks. Country pa
pers are expected to puff everything
from a chicken-fght to church fes-
tival, and everybody from young
politician to q dead man who chad
his faults-as who has not ?"-and
furnish copies of the paper gratis on
all occasions.-Galveston News.
The Banner knows the above to be
true, but would add that the country
editor" who allows himself to be i'm
posed on in this way is a fool. When
a paper puffs everything and every
body indiscriminately, its compli
ments everybody, unfortunately, its
compliments are worth nothing and
its opinions are not respected
Greenville Banner.
The last clause Of the above con-
veys an idea which however obvious,
appears TO be little considered. The
FREE Pass scorns to stoop to indis-
criminate putting. Hence its praise
is worth something and its censure
hurts.

The Chinese minister at Washing
ton has entered u formal complaint
with our government against the
treatment the Chinese are subjected
to on the Pacific coast. There is no
doubt that Cinnamon have been killed,
driven from their homes, robbed and
generally outraged. Our govern
ment is bound to protect them by
solemn treaty obligations. When
Americans are ill-treated in China,
our government promptly demands
indemnity. What is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander, and it
need not be surprising if the tax-pay-
ers Of the country at large would
have to pay big indemnity one Of
these days for the deviltry Of the Pa
cifc slope hoodlums. There are two
sides to the Chinese question, and
whilo the Pacific coast folks make
the music, the rest OF the country
may have to dance to it at a pretty
costly rate.-San Antonio Express

On the twenty.seventh day of No
vember last the Morris Brown Col
lege, of Atlanta, Ga, took possession
of its new hall, which was dedicated
with appropriate ceremonies, includ-
ing an address by DR.. Haygood,
president Of Oxford College, in the
same state. The event would scarcely
claim notice here, but for the fact
that this is n collsge for colored
youth, and that the money to build
and launch it was contributed by
colored men. A colored college, in
lately slave-holding state, started by
colored men, and dedicated by the
most eminent white educator in The
state, is testimony that there is q New
South.-Christian Leader.

For the FREE PhEss.
"UNTIL THE MORNING BREAKETu." )"

Rest you here, oh, weary pilgrim,
Yet little longer stayi
Wait, ''until the morning breaketh,
And tho shadows flee away.
Oh, know your soul is longing
For the pastures fair and green;
For the crystal waters, shining
Meath tho orient rainbow's sheen.
Well know your tirod spirit
Signs for that unbroken rest;
But around you, souls are dying
Tell thom Of the mansions blest.
Let your lamp, all trimmed and burning,
Shed around a saving light,
So that some poor, erring brother
May be guided through the night.
When the loving Savior cometh
Down to claim His precious sheaves,
Would you meet Him, sadly bringing
Only DEAD and withered leaves?
When you render back the talents,
Would you tell Him, "Lord, I've mono
Save the one you gave unto me,
II hath never others won"2
Though your loved ones have departed,
And all earthly joys are DER,
Scatter round you smiles Of brightness,
Though your heart is sad and sore.
Though your resuless soul is yearning
For tho light Of perfect day,
Wait until the morning breaketh,
And the shadows fee away.
Soon, all, soon you'll reach tho portals
Enter through the golden gate
Where the loved ones gone before you
For your coming watch and wait.
There the angels songs are waited
Der fair Eden's vale of bliss,
Where the lilies bloom unfading,
Meath celestial mornings kiss.
Struggle on--the night is waning;
Soon, for you, will come the dawn;
Soon, across the hill-tops stealing,
Comes the golden light of morn.
Then your spirit, soaring upward
To the realms of endless day,
Shouts, "Behold the morning breaketh,
And the shadows fee away!"

Homo PoIiteness.

A boy who Is polite 10 bis father
and mother is likely to be polite to
every one else. A boy lacking polite
ness TO his parents may have the SEM
blauce of courtesy In society, but is
never truly polite in spirit, and Is in
danger, as he becomes familiar, Of be-
trayiDg his real want Of courtesy. We
are all in danger Of living too much for
the outside world, for the impression
which we make In society, coveting
the good opinions Of those who are in
a sense q part of ourselves, and who
will continue to sustain and be In
terested in US, Notwithstanding these
defects of the department and character:
We say to every boy and to every
girl, cultivate the habit of courtesy
ard prOpriety at home-in the sitting
room and the kitchen and you will be
sure in other places 10 deport yourself
in a becoming manner. When one has
q pleasant smile ana a graceful de-
meanor, it is q satisfaction to know
these are not put. on, but that they
belong to the character, and are mani
fest at all times and under all circum-
stances. Young Gturclanaan.

A Japanese Story,

/ Once upon time there was crat
who lived in a hole on the shady side
of hill. One day he found bit O
rice-cak A monkey who was JUS
finishing persimmon met the crab
and offered TO exchange It's seed for the
rice. Tho simple-minded crab, ac
cepted the proposal, and the exchange
was made. The monkey ate the rice
cake, but the crab backed of home
and planted the seed in his garden.
A fine tree grew up, and the crab
was delighted to think of the nice fruit
he was to have. He built nice new
house, and used to sit on the balcony
and watch the persimmons. One day
the monkey came along, and, being
very hungry, he exclaimed:
"What a fine tree you have here
Could you give me one Of those nice
persimmons? will not trouble YOU
to pick it; will 60 up for it myself"
"Certainly," said the crab. aWill
you please throw down some to me?
We will enjoy them together"
Up went the monkey, but ne had no
idea OF throwing fruit down to the
crab. He first filed his pockets; then
he ate all the ripest persimmons AS fast
as he could, aud threw the seeds at the
crab.
"Ha, hal" laughed the crab, pre-
tending to enjoy the fun, so as to out
wit the monkey. ,tWbat good shot
you are! Do you suppose you could
come down from that tree head fore
most ?"
eyes, iudeed!' said the monkey !;
"of course can; and Immediately
turned around, ana started down the
tree. OF course all the persimmous
dropped out of his pockets. The crab
seized the ripe fruit, and ran Off to his
hole. The monkey, waiting till he
crawled out, gave him sound thrash.
ing and went home.
Just at that time rice mortar was
travelling by with his several appren.
ttces-a wasp, an egg, and a seaweed.
After hearing the crabs story they
agreed to assist him.
Marching to the monkeys house,
and finding him. out, they laid plot
to dispose of him when he came home.
The egg laid in the ashes on the earth,
the wasp in the closet, the sea.weed
near the door, and the mortar over the
Intel. When the monkey came home
he lighted fire TO steep the tea, when
the egg burst, aud so spattered his face
that he ran following away to the well
for water to cool his face. Then the
wasp flew out and stung him. In try
Ing TO drive of the wasp he slipped ON
the sea-weed, and then the rice mortar,
falling on him, crushed him 10 death.
The wasp and the mortar aud the sea-
weed lived happily together ever afier-
ward. This is a sample of what
happens to greedy and ungrateful
people.
