Strong Language from Negro Preach

StTUHS LduS udSo iiVM AWE CaCu
erS.
In Washington city last Sunday
some of the negro ministers in
their sermons on Southern outrages
used very strong language. Rev.
W. B. johnson, colored, ofthe
Second Baptist Church, likene(l
the negro to Samson, and told the
members Of his race to secure
homes in the South and West and
prepare to stay IN them, even if
every inch of land must be defend
ed with Winchester rifles. The
negro was learning the lesson OF
organization from the socialist and
the Irishman, and twenty years
from now wonld no5 be the docile
being of today. THE negro" he
concluded, .haS been building for
the whites long enough. 1t is time
TO build for himself. He cannot
be exterminated or inundated.
He is III the blood and bones of
the nation. and if undisturbed will
do no harm, hut if stirred may
grasp the pillars of our civilization
and, like Samson, of old, IN his
death. pull down the temple of
liberty"

Surprise and astonishmentwere depict
ed on every countenance. The pages
looked first at the king, then gazed upon
the audscious intruder, expecting mo-
mentarily that his majesty would give
orders to have him removed from the
table. Alphonso, however, kept silence /;
while the beggar, unabashed by the pre-
sence of royalty, ate all he desired.
When his hunger and thirst were ap-
peased he rose, and without a word of
thanks departed from the palace.
What despicably mean fellow i
cried the boys. Calmly the good king
rose. and, with much earnestness, said:
Boys, holder and more audacious
than this beggar have you all been.
Every day you SIT down to table sup
piled by the bounty of your heavenly
Father, yet you ask not His blessing,
and leave it without expressing to Him
your gratitude. Yes, each and all of
you should be heartily ashamed of your
condnct, which was far worse than was
the poor beggar's. = The Little Chris

Bessie Taylor and the Rose.

Bessie Taylor was very disconnected
girl. She was never pleased with any
thing-alwsys looking out for what was
disagreeable, and not for what was pleas
ant, in anything. She was going away
from home, and her grandmother asked
her if she would have a rose to stick In
the bosom of her dress. So, being fond
of flowers, she told her that she would
like one. Away went her grandmother,
with her cane in her hand, into her little
garden, and gathered the finest rose
there. There were two buds growing on
the same stem with the rose, and the
leaves were as fresh and as green as the
leaves of rosebud could be. You may
suppose that Bessie was not a little sur
prised when her grandmother shipped Oft
the rose, the two buds and the green
leaves with her scissors, and offered
Bessie Taylor the stem alone, all covered
with thorns. 20 grandmother, this Is
not rose Do you think that l will
stick that ugly stem In my dress, without
a single flower or leaf upon it No;
that I never will You do not deserve
to have roses growing in your gadren if
you spoil them in this way" Perhaps
not, mildly replied her grandmother i;
out there are other people in the world
besides me who spoil theirroaes. Then, ="
said Bessie, they must be yer silly peo-
pie" 81 think go. too" replied her
grandmother. And now 1 will tell you
the name of one OF them. 1t is Bessie
Taylor" Bessie Redeemed to her very
ears, while her grandmother said: 1t
has pleased God, Bessie, to mark your
life with many blessings, mingled with a
few cares, and you are continually neg
lecting your blessings and remembering
your cares. If, then, you thus wilfully
despise your comforts and repine over
your troubles, what is this but throwing
away the flowers and green leaves of
your life and sticking thorns in your
bosom ?" Who is like Bessie Taylor?

St Augustine's Conversion.

When Augustine, in his home at
Carthage, resolved to visit Rome, his
mother wished either to prevent him
from going, or to go with him. He
would listen to neither proposal, and
resorted to trick to carry out his plan.
One evening he went to the seashore,
and his mother followed. There were
two chapels dedicated to the memory OF
the martyr Cyprian and he pressed her
to spend one evening in the church OF
the martyr, while he would accompany
friend on board ship, there to say fare.
well. While she was there in tears,
praying and wrestling with God to pre-
vent the voyage. Augustine sailed for
Italy, and his deceived mother found
herself alone. In quiet resignation she
returned to the city, and continued to
pray for the salvation OF her son.
Though meaning well, she erred in her
prayers, for the journey OF Augustine
wac the means OF his salvation. The
denial of the prayer was in fact the an
swering of it.. Instead of the husk, God
granted rather the substance of her petit
ton in the conversion Of her son. There
fore said he, 10 God, Thou hadst re-
gard to the aim and essence OF her
desires, and didst not do what she then
prayed for, that Thou mightest do for
me what she continually implored."

washingtons Modesty.

One trait of Gen. Washington charsc-
ter frequently caused disappointment to
his guests-his reluctance to talk of his
own actione He was fond of pleasant,
familiar conversation, and enjoyed a jest
as well as any man but it was well-nigh
impossible to draw him out" on the
striking scenes of his career, whether
political or military. Even the members
of his own family rarely heard him men
ton any OF the exploits with which his
name was popularity identified. Miss
GUSTS wrote that she had heard him
laugh heartily at her girlish FRANKS, but
that usually he was silent and thought
full, and "never spoke of himself She
declared that though she grew up in bis
house, she had never once heard him re-
late a single act of his military life.
Bishop White of Philadelphia, bears sim
liar testimony. He said he had never
known a man who was so scrupulous In
this particular. 1T has occasionally
occurred to me when in his company,
said the Bishop, that if a stranger to
his person were present, he would never
have known from anything said by him
that he was conscious of having dis
tinguished himself in the eyes of the
world" He really had no vanity, and
made no claim to special consideration.
The incident of his carrying with his own
hands bowl of hot drink in the night
to young guest who was coughing
badly, astonished the young man ex.
tremely, but it came ss natural as pos
sible to Gen. Washington. He had done
similar things a hundred times to sick
slaves. The same may be said of his
giving up his seat to poor woman. 1t
was in Morristown during the Revolu-
tionary War, on a Sunday morning,
when service was held in the open air,
and all the troops were present. a
chair had been placed for the Comman-
der-in- chief, which he, from regard for
the consideration that placed it there,
occupied. Just as the brief service was
about to begin, woman with child in
her arms drew near. Washington at
once arose, seated her in the chair and
remained standing until the close of the
exercises. The best thing ever said OF
George Washington was a remark of his
secretary Tobias Lear, who lived at
Mount Vernon for some years, in the
closest intimacy with his Chief
"Gen. Washington" said Mr.. Lear,
I" is believe, almost the only man of an
exalted character, who does not lose
some part of his responsibility by an in
innate acquaintance. 1 have never
found single thing that could lessen my
respect for him" Some foolish pereon
has said that Z" no man is hero to his
valet, to which some wise man replied
" That depends on the valet" There
are Wallets who have Wallets souls as we'll
as Wallets aprons. and to such no true
hero could seem heroic. Tobias Lear
was gentleman of education and good
sense his word on the subject has value
and weight Youths Companion

The Thankless Beggar.

An interesting anecdote is related by
the Yilgend FTeund of King Alphonso
X surnamed the Wise, whosucceeded
to the throne OF Leon and CASTLE in 1852.
On learning that his pages neglected to
ask the divine blessing before psrtaking
OF their daily meals. he was deeply
grieved, and sought diligently to find the
best and most Impressive way to point
out to then the evil OF this omission.
At length he succeeded in finding a
plan. He invited the pages OF bis court
to dine with him A bounuiul repast
was spread and when they we're all
assembled around the table the king
gave a signal that all was in readiness
for them to begin They all enjoyed the
rich feast, but not one remembered to
ask Gods blessing on his food
Just then, unexpectedly to the thought
less guests, there entered poor, ragged
begear. who unceremoniously seated
himself at the royal table, and ate and
drank, undisturbed, to his hearts con-
tent.
