She sighed for her darling Shark

One day venturesome skipper came
A-sailing along the sea,
And he thirsted for great piscatorial fame.
So he baited a hook for very big game,
And he .Ieaved it merriee.
The Shark was taking a lazy swim

(Although twas little too early to dine)
In order to gather it in.

She sprang down that mouth so vast
And upward the bubbles flew
Those jaws closed up with a cruel crunch
And the hook swept harmless by;
And the Shark gave gentle MUNICH
And he felt himself comforted by his lunch
For Love had dared to die
She had won the right TO be with him

And since she had made SO free with him,
She did her best to agree with him,

Regular correspondence of the NATION
AL LEADER.
Alexandria, Va, Sept. 5, 'S9.
There is some discussion here as
to whether the term negroes is the
proper designation for the colored
people. We have no objection to
to the name per Sc. We know that
most OF the races of mankind are
called by names whose significance
is lost i'll their application. What
we do object to is our assumption of
a name that involves a feeling of
contempt in its use. We feel free
to assert that when white men say
negro they mean "nigger," that is,
they use word that expresses su-
preme contempt. When they feel
respectful toward us and desire so to
express themselves they say colored.
AS it would be foolish to call the
American white people Englishmen
though they are most largely des-
cended from those people, so it is
foolish to call the colored people of
this country Africans or negroes.
AS climate, environment, mode of
thought, and nature of government
have changed many of the physical,
mental, and moral traits ofour white
people who are descended from
Europeans, SO we must think the
colored people who have been sub
jected to similar influences. The
distinctive characteristics of the ne
gro have died out, or are fast dying
out i'll our people. Another king
has come to. the throne. We have
used and may still use the name
Negro, but we shall spell it with
capitol n, and shalt always use it in
good faith and not as an embodi-
ment of hate and contempt.
We would like two hundred and
fifty subscribers here. Let the
friends of colored enterprises send
us their names.
