making the school days Of her pupils happy

One day last week some colored farmers

There still comes to us, very frequently,
the cry that tho hard times, and very low

This, it seems, is extensively told among the
oolored aud ignorant white people, by men
who are considered educated and intelligent
farmers and others. We do not know
whether it is done through malice or sheer
ignorance. If the former we will treat
them with silent contempt But We presume
1t is done through the latter; then we pity
their ignorance. Poor ignorant creatures,
then we despisc their presumption, presum-
ing they know SO much Of things Of which
their knowledge extends no further than
their front yards. Isn't it surprising how
some Intelligent people will lot thcr preju-
dice If it is not ignorance) blindly lead
them, so rs to cause them to work agains,

interest? It seems TOO, the partisan nows-
papers generally forget there arc Intelligent
people who read and digest other papers
than their own sheets, and are capable of

Alliance is the cause to certain extent, but
indirectly, for the present condition of
affairs, by the "goldbugs," spectators in
futures, money controllers, etc, contracting
currency, and doing everything else they
can to disbaud tho Alliance, so they can
have things little more the way they wish
But every blow they strike, or every obsta-
Gle they throw in their way, only acts As
scaling wax to bind them closer and closer |
Thore is no denying the Order has done u |
great amount of good, not by working SCI
hshly for itself, but for every legitimate
business in the whole country. There are
many good eligible men and ladies outside |
the order that could help greatly and be a
power il in it, aud would let their minds
become unprejudiced. There are also good
men whose business and occupation debars
them from coming in, but who can help and
BE helped. The. Alliance would like The
sympathy and aid Of these, but caunot sto,p
to 60 down on its knees TO beg for it. 1t
can't be laughed down, for it has learned
against the periis OF rfdicu,e end sneerS; shu
