Adiectives were of course invented
because we could not do without
them, but among the older writer's
they were almost as sparingly used

In our day they are not pearls, but

tunes.

Who has not been at some time |
and in some degree subjected to sore
trials and rugged drawbacks in the
course of life. It has been the lot
of almost every human being at some
period or in some way to experience
adyersityi and those are fortunate
who, in their troubles, find the lights
of old friendships still warm and
bright in misfortunes as they were in
the days of propituous fortune. Men
and women should so live as to feel
the consciousness of unyielding in
tegrity. He who is thus fortified is
covered By an impenetrable and pro-
tecting shield. Many minds are so
gently and delicately constituted
that they yield too readily to the
wintry blasts of disappointments and
the blight of faded expectations
While this may show that they have
hearts of keen sensibilities and re-
fined emotions, it proves also that
physically and mentally they are not
constituted to buffet the angry waves
of misfortune, or have cultivated and
unstrung to an undue extent those
delicate chords of soul which yield
melody to the breath of happiness
and vail to that of misfortune and
sorrow.
While it is pleasing to see in any
one the emblems of sensibility in
difficulty and danger, it is admissible
to show true heart, sustaining
energy and unconquerable spirit. He
who displays energy in adversely is
far more certain of receiving the
substantial sympathy and encourge-
ment of the world than he who sinks
under the sweep of the tempest
The man who defes the rage of the
storm, who meets it with an unblink-
ing and steadfast eye, is apt to excite
admiration and sympathy, and may
triumph over apparently insuperable
difficulties and dangers. The proud
spirit of man should rise in dignity
and unbroken strength, though ad-
versity and poverty and neglect may
surround it, though even human love
should falter in its idolatry. It should
take courage, look up, and rely upon
integrity and energy, for they are
linked with the most valuable gifts of
fortune. In no other way can man
hope to retrieve disaster, when antic-
ipated success and triumphs have
vanished like the dreams of summer
night. An elegant writer has said ::
No man need feel ashamed of sor-
row." Sophocles makes even Her
cules sink beneath impressions of
vicissitude. The man of virtue be-
comes sacred by misfortunes, and
every honorable mind feels disposed
to address him as the courtiers of
Cambul addressed the person of their
sovereign, "May your sorrow be turn
ed upon me-" The same writer elo-
quently said: "When we look around
us and behold the pride, the envy
and malice that Expresses the mass
of mankind; when we consider how
many virtues society nips in the bud,
and with what industry it Furnishes
thoae virtues it is obliged in decency
to command; when we see with what
eagerness the feelings are insulted
and the mind starved, and observe
the seeming delight with which some
men survey the wretchedness of their
fellow creatures, there is, assuredly,
sufficient justification for the pro-
foundest melancholy"

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
CoIored Citizens Serenade Senator
Chandler-His Address to Them.

Senator Chandler was serenaded by the John
sherman and William f. Chandler clubs We'd
nesday evening. The members of the clubs,
headed by band, marched to the Senator's
residence on street, where a large crowd was
collected. The Senator received the clubs in
the reception room. where Mr.. W. Calvin Chase
read an address. in which he called attention
to alleged violations in the southern states Of
the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution.
Resolutions were read by Mr.. j. Z. Bruce
which asserted the citizenship OF the negro and
protested against the political discrimination
under which he suffered in the south.
MR.. CHANDLER ON THE COLOR LINE IN POLITICS.
Senator Chandler spoke from the front steps
of his residence, and made a short but vigo-
rous speech. He assured the audience of his
sympathy with every effort made for the well
fare of the colored race. He objected to draw
ing any color line in politics, and said what
was needed was the enforcement of the fif-
teenth amendment. He thought that with a
free vote and fair count there would be no
difficulty about white republicans in the south
joining with the colored republicans to carry
the southern states In closing he said that
the President was in sympathy with these prin-
ciples and he urged that the people should
not be impatient because in their opinion
changes in the offices were not made rapidly
enough.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Chambers adj
dress the crowd cheered him and then dis
persed.
