When one marks the long lIsts>Of
recent graduates from our principal
colleges-Iists in most cases twice
as long as they were thirty years
agO-One wonders at first sight
where such multitude of highly
educated young men Will go. Where
are they to find places suited to
their training and attainMents?
One can imagine some of them
asking despondently with TENNY-
son:
''What IS that which l should turn to,
lightning upon days like these?
Every door is barred with gold, and opens
but to golden keys"
Yet, If we look closely at the matter,
we shall see reasons for believing
that the supply of educated men is
not in excess of the demand. In
the first place, we must remember
that the population of this country
is twice as large as it was in 1860,
which means that the field of Op-
portunIty has expanded in proper
ton to the number of graduates.
In the second place, a marked
change has come over the post
graduate intentions of college
students, and consequently over the
nature OF the studies cOmprehended
in a university course.
At the beginning of this century
majority of the men graduated
from our Eastern colleges entered
the ministry. Thirty years ago, by
tar the greater number cOntempla
ted the practice of law or of medi-
cine. Now a large and steadily
increasing fraction of graduates
apply themselves to tue innumerable
forms Of business or industrial
activity which have sprung into
existance under the JOINT stimulus oil
capital and science.
This signal alteration IN the
objects which graduates have II
view has had the effect Of broaden,
ing and Teorganiziug the university y
curriculum, Not only is it no longer
the sole function of colleges to turn
( out clergym20, but it has even
ceased to be their exclusive purpose
to qualify young men for the learn
ed professions generally. They
now seek to impaTt such a training
and Equipment as will fit the taithfn
student for any walk of life. il
which disciplined and welI,store(
intellect and the invaluable habi
of concentration are the factors o
success. Such being the aims an(
the methods Of contemporar,
colleges, We do not think the mum
Der of their graduates IS out Q
proportion to the needs and oppOr
tunities of our fastgrOWlng country

furled n every township and United
States cruisers may cast anchor in
every river throughout her borders,
but the result will be the same For
the last FIVE years the Democrats
have been losing ground in North
Carolina. They had no pressing
need to unite. Their only danger
was their security. Let this measure
pass the Senate, receive the Presi
dents signature and become a law,
and the people will be banded to-
gether as they have never been be-
fore. At the close of the war, the
Republican leaders placed the ballot
in the hands of three million ignorant
freedmen, hoping thereby to per>
petuate their power. BY meaps Of
these votes the Democrats secured
control of the House OF Representa-
tives for fifteeA years, and in 81
sent Cleveland to the White House.
History repeats itself. This bill
which they esteem their strength
will prove to be their weakness, It
may become a knotted cord in the
hands of justice to scourge the
money-changers from the Temple
of Government and the Republican
party may find too late that,
Upon their heads they placed fruitIess
crown,
A nd put barren sceptre in their gripe,
Thence to be wrenched by an unlineal
hand,
No son of their succeeding"

The Negro up North.

Thomas W, Swami, colored, writes
an instructive communication to the
Philadelphia Record, in which he
says:
"Being native Of Danville, Va.
add the son Of former slave / have
been living in the North bet a short
period hut what [ have seen Of the
two sections, | claim the Southern
negro has more privileges and ad-
yantages than his Northern brother
of the same race. Though | have
used my utmost endeavor to avail
myselt OF the equal rights so boast
ingly mentioned by the friends of
the negro in the North, | am de.
barred from the workshops, from the
GountingrOoms, from official posi-
tlons, or from any occupation [ may
seek, except that which requires me
TO wear the white apron, badge IF
cook, or waiter, or as hod carrier.
| must seek only the positions least
remunerative If not the most menial.
When | pass along Lombard street,
Phlladelphi | find that prejudice
against them has crowded the negroes
together like pigs ia pen, and |
venture to assert that there is not a
spot South of Mason and Dixon's
line where the negro Is In so much
misery,or faces such squaIid poverty,
as the poor denizens Of Lombard
street and the other miserable quart,
ers in which he has been compelled
on accouAt of his color to reside in
the Good City of Brotherly Love-
1t would he wise to let q little of the
love of the brother in black to begin
here at home"
The ambitious negro in this coun~
try has certain obstacles to overcome
wherever he locates. Not constltu
tlonal amendments, nor any legisla
ton, can remove those obstacles. In
the North or the South, they will be
alike encountered. This may be 8
sad condition of things, and it may
be unpleasant to mention it; bnt 1t is
q fact, and q fact that should cause
the negro to regard as 4 Eumbug
any party that pretends to give him
milk and honey at nothing q glass
The way for the negro to overcome
these obstacles is not by abuse Of the
white race, or constant expression
of discomfort with his Surroundings
The thing for the intelligent negro is
to aid in promoting the prosperity oI
his section, realizing that he has s
somewhat hard road to travel" but
resolving to travel it. Working
against tie people who befriend him
will not smooth his pathway.
The best evidence Of the progress
of the negro race, would be its refu'
sal to surrender Its vote for "tafy.'

Men have found ont that the fifty
two days OF rest in every year are
not subtraction, but an addition.
1t has been demonstrated in sill de-
partments. Lord Castlereagh thought
he could work his brain three hun~
dred and sixty-fve days in the year,
and he broke down and committed
suicide; and WIlberforce said in re-
gard to him: Poor Castlereagh !,
This comes from non-ooservance Of
the Sabbath" \ prominent mer-
chant Of View York said: II shoali
long ago have been a maniac but for
the observance of the Sabbath" The
nerves, the brain, mentar and moral
constitution cry oat for Sabbath rest
What is true of man is true of
beast. Travellers have found that
they come sooner to their destination
if they stop ole day in seven. What
is the matter with some Of these
horses attached to the street cars as
the poor creatures 60 stumbling and
staggering on? They are robbed Of
the Sabbatic rest.
In the days of old, when the sheep
and the cattle were driven from the
far west to the sea coast, it was found
out by positive test that those drov-
ers got sooner to the seaboard who
stopped one day in seven on the
way, They came sooner to the sea-
board than those who drove right on
The fishermen off the banks of New
foundland have experimental in this
matter, and they find that they catch
more fish in the year when they OBJ
serve the Sabbath than in the year
when they do not observe the Sab
bath.
This is also true Of machines.
When | asked a Rocky Mountain
locomotive engineer, az | was riding
with him. "Why do You switch off
your locomotive on a side track and
take another?"-as | saw he was
about to do-"Oh, we have to let the
locomotive stop and cool off, or the
machinery would very soon break
down" The manufacturers Of salt
were told that if they allowed their
kettles to cool one day in seven they
would have immense repairs to
make; but the experiment was made
and the contrast came, and 1T was
found that those manufacturers Of
salt who allowed the kettles TO cool
once 8 week had less repairs to make
than those who kept the furnaces in
full blast AMI the kettles always hot.
What does all this mean? 1t
means that intellectual man and
dumb beast and dead machinery cry
oat for the Lords day.

Two Soldiers at Gettysburg.

The armies they had ceased to fight,
The night was still and dark,
And many thousands on the field,
Were lying stiff and stark.
The stretcher men had come along
And gathered all they could;
A hundred surgeons worked that night
Behind the clump of wood.
They flashed the lanterns in my face,
As they were hurrying by;
The sergeant looked and said, he's dead,
And [ made no reply.
The bullet had gone through my breast,
No wonder | was still;
But once will be nearer death
Than when upon that hill.
a gray-clad picket came along
Upon his midnight beat;
He came so near me that | tried
TO move and touch his feet.
At once he bent and felt my breast
While life still fought at bay;
No one who loved me could have done
More than this man in gray.
O'cr me all chilled with blood and dew,
His blanket soft he spread;
4 CRIMSON sheaf Of wheat he brought,
a pillow for my head.
Then knelt beside me for an hour
And bathcd my lips and brow
But for the man who was my foe
I'd not be Lying now,
Then as the coming daylight shone,
He bent his lips to say:
God spare you, brother, though you wear
The blue and L the gray"
The sounds of war are silent now,
We call no man cur foe,
But soldier hearts cannot forget
The scenes of long ago.
Dear as the one who stood with US,
To struggle, or to die;
No one can oftener breathe their names,
Or love them more than [.
But from my life I'd give year
That gray clad man to see;
TO clasp in love the foeman's hand
Who saved my life to me.

Seven DruInmers Tried to Razzle the Hotel
Clerk, but Didn't.

Clerk, but Didn't.
a thrilling story is afioat concerning Ger
tain hotel clerk in St Paul, who is himself
not at all backward in starting the story on
its travels again, whenever it comes in his
way, with good healthy push. There were
seven commercial men from eleven wholesale
eastern houses, the other evening, each dis
placing q certain amount of atmosphere in
that particular hotel. As they had not yet
registered, it occurred to one that the time
might be cheerfully occupied in having some
fun with the clerk. The diabolical scheme
was speedily formulated. One of them ap-
preached their intended victim and said:
"My name is B"
Chow do you do, STRIP said the clerk, and
out flew the hand ever ready to welcome the
coming and speed the parting guest. "You
are from'-
"Saugatuck."
"Yes; well, how are times?'

The saddest case Of the Enoch Arden kind
is that recorded of O Missouri man, which
took place lately. One day in the year 1861
his wife sent him out to get an armful of
wood, but he walked to town, where he en-
listed and went away to the war. When the
war closed he drifted away to California and
Mexico. His wife waited five or six years;
then, concluding that he was dead, she
married again. The second husband died in
1879, and in 1882 she led another blushing
groom to the altar. About month ago the
original husband came numbering back But
there was no glad smile for him. The wife
looked over shoulder at him from where she
sat by the stove and asked him if he had got
that wood yet Then the third husband came
in and told him to make tracks, and mako
'em lively" 'Frailty," exclaimed the first
husband. thy name is womanl" Then he
went out. and the third husbands dog chased
him to the forks of the road West Shore
