Why is it that everybody nowadays
dies of "heart failure? Why not
"breath failure" or "life failure? To
ascribe death to "heart failure is
equivalent to saying that the subject
died because he ceased to exist. Every
death is accompanied by failure of the
heart, though the causes leading to it

The Chelsea shepardesses, each

To hold Dorinda's pot pourri

OF patches, powder, belle and beau,

The sweet sad tales that no one knows,
The deathloss charm of dead delight.

CHATTER II.

"When she wakes In the morning, Agnes,
do not question her, leave her TO tell her
story at her own time. Only make her feel
welcome here; remember il Is Christmas
time, when lie, who was the Spirit OF Chari-
", was born amongst us. The girl has o
good sweet face, and is habited like lady.
Let that suffice; let her understand we see
no wrong in her, and she will then trust u.s."
Come, Ally" he said to the child, "let
me wrap you in this, and take you to bed.
You puss, it is almost what you call morn
ing time"
The child allowed her father to wrap her
up snugly, but protested against going to
bed directly minute"
She was cold, she said, and wanted some
negus and mince-pie like Agnes had got for
papa
And as usual she had her own way, and
eat on the rug by Drifts side till she fell fast
asleep, her pretty dark head Graded on his
warm coat.
Then with CHEEKY good night, Pierce
picked her up and carried her to her little
bed. AS he laid her down she whispered
drowsily:
Papa, will Santa Claus bring the pretty
lady present to put in her stocking? See
she hangs 10 out have mine. Kiss me
goodnight"
The dark lashes swept the rosy cheek,
and in second the dear little one slept
and dreamt of benefcent Christmas fairies,
fine gifts, and Christmas cheer.
Pierce thought Of her words. Why should
not the poor outcast be remembered kindly
by him?
He picked bit of holly, all rudy berries,
and hastily going TO the best parlor, he pick
cd his only flower, Christmas-rose grow
In terra-cotta pot, painted with swallows
and wild roses.
This he bound together with piece Of
cord, and sat down TO write q Christmas
card.

among friends who do not want TO question
your past but only wish 10 help and sue
cor you. God bless you and restore you TO
happiness, Is the sincere prayerof your true

Under Henry l. coiners Of false

tons of various kinds were in common
use. saws All the Year Round. In 1l60
we hear of heretics who had refused to
abjure their faith being handed over to
the church by the civil authorities to
be branded with hot iron on the
forehead. have their clothes torn off
frsm the waist up, and be whipped
through the public streets. Boycott
ting was at that time legal practice.
whatever it may be now. for the said
heretics were not only forbidden 10
worship as they desired. but forbidden
to enter the houses of orthodox believ-
ers. or even to purchase the necessaries
of life.
The popular notion of the crusaders
as an army of Bayards, sans pear ct
sans reproche." is hardly consistent
with the code of criminal law which
Richard Ceur de Lion enacted for the
especial behoof of those with whom he
set out for holy Palestine. If any one
of them were convicted of theft, boil
ing pitch was to be poured over his
head, then a pillow full of feathers
shaken over him. and he was to be
abandoned at the first port the vessel
touched. Whoever killed another on
board ship was to be tied to the corpse
and cast into the sea; whoever killed
another on shore was to be tied TO the
corpse and buried with it. A blow was
to be punished by three duckings in the
sea aud the use of the knife in quar-
rel caused the aggressor to lose one of
his hands.

Colored Talks on the Sub

He Gives His Views on the Prblem to
Times" Reporter---.Advised the
Race Not to NEEDLE With Politics
for the Present Colonization an
Absurd Scheme.
(From Chattanooga Times. J

Among the visiting delegates to
the Presiding Elders convention
which closed its session Thursday
night, was ex-Senat ,r III. r. Re wells,
of Mississippi. DR.. Revels was the
oldest delegate in the convention.
He is about 6 feet i'll height. with a
light. copper colored complexion,
and might easily be mistaken for
white man. He has large we'll
shaped head, with high receding
forehead, and his regular features are
lighted up with bright, intelligent
expression In answer to the quer,
les to the race problem, DR.. Revels
said:
don't regard the so-called race
problem as anything at all danger.
Gus, as many.of the people of this
country do. There has been be-
tween the white and colored people
Of the South a great deal of trouble,
chiefly of a political nature. The
white people have been led to believe
(and to a considerable extent corr
rectly so) that the colored people
were disposed to cast their ballots
and exercise their privileges against
the interests of the white people.
This has been source Of trouble and
uneasiness to them. But for this l
verify believe there would not have
been one -hundredth part OF the mis-
understanding and trouble between
the races as there has been hereto
fore. Notwithstanding these facts,
of which the colored people are well
aware, until very recently they have
believed that they must affiliate nd
work for the interests of the Repub-
lican party (Which, in some instances,
has proven sad mistake), regard
less of the consequences. And this
they have done through fear Of the
Democratic party. | believe this
fear comes from a lack of mutual
friendship, confidence and respect
between the two races.
"The conviction is rapidly gaining
ground in the minds of the colored
people of the South that for the
present for them to meddle with pol
itics is useless, and that it is best for

the race that they turn their atten-
ton toward the accumulation Of
property and the education Of their
children.
Gin the next place am certain
that, with the fewest exceptions, the
colored people do not carry in their
hearts any ill-will toward their white
fellow citirens. / have made this
situation Of my race in the South
special study. and have long since
come to the conclusion that friends
ship will exist between the white and
colored people Of the South as fully
as it exists between the races in the
State Of Massachusetts, and | am
uncon. romisingly opposed to the
emigration Of the 'lored people
from the Southern States to other
parts of the country.
"The idea of colonizing the col Y
ored people, | think, is simply ridi-
cuious, and don't believe it will
ever be DONE"
