A Boys Religion.

If a boy is a lover of the Lord Jesus
Christ, though he can't lead prayer
meeting, or be a Church officer, or
preacher, he can be a godly boy, in a
boys way and in boys place. he ought
not to be too solemn y Or quiet q boy. he
need not csasesto be- aboy because he is
Christian. He ought to run, jump, play,
climb.and yellslike a real boy. But in
it all he ought to be free from vulgsrity
and profanity. He ought to eschew to.
.bacco in every form and have horror OF
Intoxicating drinks. He ought to be
peaceable, gentle, merciful, generous.
He ought to take the part of small boys
against large ones. He ought to diacour-
age fighting. He ought to refuse to be
party to mischief, to persecution, 10 de.
ceit. And, above all things, he ought to
show his colors now and then. He need
not always,be interrupting game to say
that be is Christian, but he ought not
to be ashamed to say that he refuses to do
something because he fears God or is q
Christian. he ought to take no part in
the ridicule of sacred things, but meet
the ridicule of others with bold state.

What q wonderful healer time is, in
deed!
The last speech Of Daniel II. Chamber.
lain, then governor of South Carolina,
ever made on the stump, was at Midway
in 1876. The man who opposed him on
that occasion was Hon. George D. Till
man. Angry glances were exchanged,
opprobrious epithets were hurled at
Chamberlain and those with him, while
hundreds of men stood in front Of the
stand, almost hoping that something
exciting" would occur.
Several exciting things did occur, and
bloodshed vas averted by the coolness
of Colonel Tillman and some of the
other speakers. 1t was a wild day.
Chamberlain left hurriedly in buggy,
vent back to Columbia, and almost inn
mediately afterwards, declared martial
Law. Within a comparatively short
time, he left the State, as every one be:
lieved, and as he doubtless thought, for
ever. 49,
Yesterday Congressman Tillman and
Ex-Governor Chamberlain met for the
first time since that memorable day at
Midway in '76. Mr. Chamberlain is now
receiver of several valuable rail road
properties, and his ability as manager
has elected the most aattering comment
from the business men of Charleston. and
he has been the recipient of much atten-
ton from them. The ex- Governor salu-
ted the congressman cheerily, and soon
they we're engaged earnestly in conversa.
ton. What strange memories must have
rushed through their minds, crowding
one upon the other, as they chatted
pleasantly in front of the Charleston
hotel yeaterday. -.
A man who might have suggested in
1876 the bare possibility of such a thing:
would have been regarded as fit sub

Young men in Mexico, when pay

do so at very little expense. They are
eager to invite them to theatres, parties,

to pay for the tickets and furnish the

"For several years, in the spring months, I
used to be troubled with drowsy, tired feeling,
and dull pain in the small of my back, so bad,
at times, as to prevent my being able to walk,
tho least sudden motion causing mo severe
distress. Frequently, boils and rashcs would
break out on various parts Of the body. BY the
advice of friends and my family physician,
began the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla and con'

Bruce, Of Mississippi, relative to the
moyement,now on foot to induce the col
ored people Of the South to emigrate to
Liberia. Bruce condemns the movement
and predicts its failure, just as four pre-.
vious attempts of the same kind have
failed.
he says the colored people are not in
sympathy with it, In fact, Bishop Il. M.
Turner, of the African Methodist
Church, is the only prominent man in
this country who favors the scheme and
believes that the negro will only reach
his highest development in the Dark
Continent. The Bishop is man Of re-
cognized ability and influence. but he has
failed to impress his peculiar views in
this respect upon the race.
The black race in this country is not
African except in color. In all the ele
ments of civilized manhood they are
American, and there is no more reason
why they should abandon the land of
their birth and go to the Dark Continent,
because their fathers lived there, than the
Irish or Germsn should return to the Old
World because their forefathers lived
there. One ofthe most potent arguments
made by the friends Of the movement is
that conditions are easier, that vast sums
can be. realized from the mahogany trade
and other tropical productions. They
seem to forget that the negro has to-day
practically the monopoly of the agricul-
tural labor ofthe South, producing near.
ly all the cotton, rice and sugar of that
section. If the progress made by the
colored people of the South since their
emancipation were less satisfactory the
colonizationists might fud some ground
upon which to stand. I speak of the
South because: fifteen sixteenths of the
eolored race reside South and it is in this
sec'ion 1naS al Tue enof's are maze IN

posed TO have fallen into the water, but no bodies
were washed ashore or recovered
Coroner Rodman after the accident, immedlately
summoned jury and permitted the removal OF
the bodies. The jury in its verdict strongly
censured the owner of the excursion barge for
carelessness, on the ground that the vessel was
rotten.
The place where the disaster occurred is at
the head of Cold Spring Harbor. not far from
Laurclton, and is favorite picnic ground. The
falling Of the deck of the barge and the sad
results that followed are, IL is said due partly
at least TO the rotten condition of the supports.
Many OF the pleasure seekers carried home With
them pieces Of the centre posts, which show that
they were rotten at the core.
Mrs. Schamaut, Of No. 214 Driggs-st., whose
daughter Lizzie was among the killed, says that
she was standing at the upper end of the barge,
her sister being about the middle with the little
girl. She saw the storm coming and was trying
to get shelter when cyclone came and ripped
the top of the barge Off and minute after she saw
her daughters feet sticking out from between
the guard-rail and the edge of the deck. She
could hear her screaming, but could not help
her She does not know what became Of her
sister and feared she also had been killed.
George Peters, of No. lOl Ewan-st who was
slightly bruised about his body by the roof strik
ing him when it slid over, said: Everybody had
gone on board both barge and steamer, and they
were Just preparing to cast off the hawsers by
which the barge was fastened to the pier when
a cyclone struck the barge and threw it over
to one side They had just pulled down the can
vas on one side to protect those on board from the
rain which began to fall, when fearful gust of
wind lifted the roof off and carried it, with the
pilot house and everything else, over against the
crushed between the edge of the roof which
dropped down when the supports broke, and
think most of those who were killed had their lives
crushed out in that way. assisted a number of
women and children to get from under tho
collapsed roof. l never witnessed such terrible
sight in my life did not know many of the
killed or injured. Several of those killed were
strangers to most of us. was under the roof when
the wind struck it but it slid over me-
Frank BRANDED, of No. 147 Maujer-st.. gave an
account of the accident similar to that of George
Peters. lie said "The wooden pillars which sup
ported the hurricane deck of the barge were badly
rotted, and easily broke when the squall struck"
The special train carrying the larger number
of the pleasure seekers, whose days pleasure had
been so sadly marred, on it's arrival at Brooklyn
was besieged By a crowd of not less than 1900
people, who were friends relatives
of those who had gone away on
the excursion in the morning. Every one was
asking those who left the train whether the in
quirers friends had escaped Others, mostly men
looking for wives and children. were crying as
they asked for their relatives whom they had
heard were killed or injured.
