FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
INTERESTING READING FOR THE
COMING MEN AND WOMEN.
Gallantry of a Small Urchin to a Very Small
Damsel-Jack, the Boy Missionary, Who
Survived the Perils of Africa to Die at
Last in London-WInning His Name.

The passengers on a Pennsylvania
annex boat enjoyed a pretty little scene
the other day, says the New York 1ll-
6urae, in which the g~allantry of a small
boy 6 or Z would compare with that of
Mrs. Burnett's far-famed little lord. He
was q sturdily built little fellow, and,
dressed in his %pea-jacket, with knicker-
bockers and military cap, looked the
picture Of a little gentleman. Occupy
ing the seat next to him was a fair little
maiden. perhaps 3 years old, who wished
very much to see the book which the
boy held in his hand. In the most gen
tie and courteous way he showed her
the pictures, explaining, in his childish
fashion, their meaning. Not content
with this, he began to tease his mamma
to let him give the book to his admir-
ing pupil. The mother seemed pleased.
but said: why, I thought you wanted
me to buy this book so you could have
it to read on the cars going home?"
$50 [ did, but can't the little girl
have it?" She finally gave her consent.
His face lighted up, and the little gal
liant handed his beloved book to the shy
maiden at his side. Great was his sur
prise and disappointment to have it re-
fused in the most decided manner, and,
as he took the rejected book and walked
off the boat. he looked the picture of
despair. He did not forget, however,
to turn around at the last moment and
touch his hat to his little friend, who,
as she held fast to her mothers hand,
said, "Dood by, little boy"

Rivalry.

Denominationalism is i'll right, pro-
vided it be kept within The limits of
Christian charity. Wei believe in a
generous rivalry-in the fvalry of faith
and good works.
Moreover, each Denomination sets
forth in a distinctive way some feature
of the Gospel, which might otherwise
be neglected OF under-emphasized. No
one has it all, but each types some more
or less essential phase of 1t. 1t is only
by correlating these representative
denominations that we gel the rounded
truth. Truth is a wheel, Of which the
respective denominations afe the spokes.
One spoke doesn't makeI a wheel-it
takes all. But the various spokes of
the Gospel wheel are apt to forget their
mutual dependence, and to set up each
n as being the whole wheel.
We commend to the churches this
sentence from Lord Bacon: "Let your
rivalry be like that between the olive
and the vine, which shall bear first
fruit; and not like that between the
briar and the thorn, which shall be the
most Improbable"

Red.Hot Iron His Food.

The story of the Flying Dutchman:
is thus told by M. Jal, a French writer.
in his incidents of Maritime Life" An
unbelieving Dutch captain had vainly
tried to round Cape Horn (not Good
Hope) against q head. gale. He swore
he would do it; and when the storm
increased, laughed at the tears of his
crew, smoked his pipe and drank his
beer, even throwing overheard some of
the men who tried to make him put the
ship about. The Holy Ghost descended
on the deck; but he fred a pistol at Il.
whereupon his arm became paralyzed.
Then he cursed God, and was imme.
diately condemned by the apparition to
navigate always without putting into
port, always on the watch and with
nothing but gall to drink and red-hot
iron to eat. He was to be the evil
genius of the sea, to torment and pun
lsh sailors, and to carry warming of ILL.,
fortune to the luckless mariner. It is
he who sends the white squalls and
sudden tempests. If he visits a ship.
all the wine and beer turns SOU and
Bill the food becomes beans, which the
sailors hate. Nothing must be taken
from his hand, for the person who
touches anything he has touched is lost.
His ship is manned by all the old sin
ners of the sea, thieves, murderers. nj
rates and towards, who e~ternally toll
and suffer and have little to eat or
drink. Thus the relationship is the
purgatory Of the wicked mariner.

1t has been noticed, says the New
York E%uanqelist, that daracter can be
determined by the natrfe of peoples
laughs. The condesce1ding laugh Of
supercilious, the requisite smirk of the
cold-blood villain, the Superficial laugh
of the hypocrite, the faw1ing laugh of
the stricky schemer, "tAe noisy laugh
which shows the vacant BRAIN" and the
genial, hearty laugh Of tie large, true
man-all are tell tales.
A more certain knowledge of the real
character of the people hay be easily
gained by observing tho things they
laugh at. In spite of What new dis
guises they ssum we iced make no
mistake in determining the character
OF those who laugh or eve4 smile at the
sufferings or SORROWS of ahy living be-
ing, animal or human, Of at the low,
obscene Jest, or at the e4ors and sins
of others. There need Id no difficulty

Being lover Of the Great and

few dots.
Along the line of the M. q G. r.

to the short crop.
The cid year has passed away and
with it many joys and sorrows Of hu
man family-Judge Lynch has sat
with open court and many poor
colored person has been hauled before
his tribunal when will this fair
southland rise in its might and shake
off this monster stain upon its fair
escutcheon?
II has been noted for its brave men
and fair women-and will it now
stand idley by and allow this burn>
ing shame, Of lynching a poor and
helpless people; will they dare say
that they cant trust the strong arm
Of the law when the Judge, Jury and
all are in their hands?
appeal to noble men and women
those who would scorn a dishonest
act, [ ask that they lend
the weight Of their influence in be
half OF my people. | don't ask pro-
lection for the guilty, but give them
fair and impartial trial before you
condemn.
l hope the convention Of colored
men, called to meet at Chicago will
be the cause of much good being
done-and I would like to have some
of our able men of North Ala, in
that body.

there not more serious questions for
us to consider. than pleasure; while
our brothers are being butchered all

Sam Jones in Charlotte.

Sam Jones is in Charlotte and thous-
ands of people are flocking to hear him
from all the country round about. The
Chronicle says this of his wit and
pathos:
AT times, with the great, long han
died broom Of his wit he would sweep
away the clouds Of sorrow and gloom,
and let the bright sunshine of merri-
ment blaze abroad, and the next mo-
ment with the mighty auger of his
pathos he would bore for water, and it
never took him long to strike it; some
times it would gently well out from the
eyes, as the overflow from a cool, hill
side spring, and again it would burst
forth in great, artesian streams, forced
by the current of agony behind it.

The Sunday-schOOl.

Parents, do you send your children
to Sunday-school or are they permitted
to spend the time in idleness, or what
is worse, in doing some kind of mis-
chief? No sight is more pleasing or
gratifying than to see the young lad or
young miss with gladstone feet wend-
ing their way to Sunday-school, each
Sabbath day. 1t is in the Sunday
school where the tender mind is stored
with truths, that, though they may be
temporarily forgotten, will never lose
their impression. Many who are now
filling important positions in the world
can revert with inexpressible gratitude
to the Sunday-school where they re-
ceived early instructions. The Sunday
schools connected with the respective
churches in the town, should be recOg-
nized by all as a stepping stone to
greatness, and its benefits should al
ways be held up to the youthful and
susceptible mind.
