A WARNING
Richmond Planet.

Colored men, remember any
man who stands in the way of the
seating Of Hon. John Mercer Lang
ston, the rightfully as well as leg
ally elected congressman from the
Fourth Congressional District of
Virginia is not worthy of recogni-
ton in the Republican ranks nor
by the colored race.
Colored men everywhere will
breathe sigh of relief to learn
that Hon. JOHN MERCER LANGsToN,
has been fairly elected to Congress
from the Fourth Congressional
District of Virginia. He carried
his District by 5000 majority. The
Republicans are pledged to fair e.
lections as in opposition to fraud
and corruption at the baIlot-box.
Mr.. LANGsToN will carry his case
to that tribunal which will rise a.
bove partizanry in the decision
of such questions. Hon JOHN MER-
GER LANGsToN will be in congress.
But how unjust it is that he should
be forced to assume the role OF a
contestant after having been over
whelmingly elected over two COM
petitors.
We call upon all classes irrespec-
tive of color to unite in the de-
mand that the peoples representa-
tive shall be accorded justice.
Colored men, bury politically
any man, be he black or white,
Republican or Democrat, who en-.
deavors to throw any hindrauce
in the way of our representative.
God reigns.
There is no greater evidence of
this than the fact that the body
that Is to pass upon these questions
is Republican. LANGsToN must be
in Congress.

THIS, TOO, MUST PASS
AWAY.

An Eastern king of antiquity
wanted a ring engraved with a
brief proverb that would apply
alike to prosperity or adversely.
The artizen engraved the ring
with these tour words: "This, too,
must pass away"
This, too, must pass away,
Whether estate bliss or sorrowful
woe,
Both must fade as the days come
and 60.
What e'er it is of pleasure or pain,
Whether June's bsImy air or
winters rain
Whether the starless night or
golden day,
This, all this, must pass away.
This, too, must pass away,
Twas so decreed in the olden time,
Told in prose and sung in rhyme,
'Thus far" to each throbbing
pulse Of JOY,
Earth has no pleasure without
alloy.
The more rapturous your joy, the
briefer its stay,
'Tis written, this, too, must pass
away.
This, too, must pass away,
The artists fond fancy, the poets
dream,
The laurel wreath of honor, the
worlds esteem,
The flush of prosperity, and ad-
verstity's wan cheek,
The Moons silvery glory, the sun'E
crimson streak.
Nothing is abiding, nothing car
stay.
Earth's best and brightest must
pass away.
This, too, must pass away,
The hearts dearest treasures, its
hope and trust,
Will fade and wither and crumble
to dust:
Time will touch with its ruthless
hand
The fairest flower in all the land
The bud of promise, that blossoms
to-day
Tomorrow, brother, may pass
away.
Only THIS shall not pass away,
The hope that the Master has given
That whether the wad be rough or
even,
Whether tempest tossed, or holy
calm,
Or bearing aloft the victor's palm,
Whether the morn's rosy flush; OF
close of day
The hope of heaven shall not pass
away.
