I.S.4SM UGH.

IF had dwelt''-so unused a tender woman,
All fine emotions stirred
Through bordering DER that life, divine yet
human,
Told in the sacred word
If had dwelt of old, Jewish maiden,
In some Judean street
Where Jesus walked, and heard His word SC
With comfort strangely sweet;
And seen the face where utmost pity blended
With each rebuke OF wrong;
/ would have left Il Y lattice, and descended
And followed with the throng.
If had been the daughter, jewel-girdled,
OF some rich rabbi there,
Seeking the sick, blind, halt, my blood had
curdled
At sight of such despair,
And had wrenched the sapphires from my
fillet
Nor let one spark remain:
Snatched up my gold amid the crowd to spill it.
For pity of their pain.
1 would have let the palsied finger hold me;
1 would have walked between
The Marys and Salome, while they told me
About the Ma sdalcne
Foxes have holes''- think my heart had
To hear the words so said,
while Christ had not"-were sadder ever spok-
enI-
"a place to lay His head?"
would have flung abroad my door before Him,
And i'll my joy have been
First on the threshold, eager to adore Him,
And crave His entrance in
All would you? Without recognition
You passed Him yesterday;
JoStled aside, unhelped, His mute petition,
And calmly went Your way,
With warmth and comfort, garmented and gir-
died,
Before your window sill
Sweep heart-SicH crowds-and if your blood is
curdled.
You wear your jewels still.
You catch aside your robes, lest want should
clutch them
In its implOring wild;
Or lest some woeful penitent might touch them,
And you be thus deiiled.
o dreamers, deaming that your faith is keep
ing
All service free from blot,
Christ daily walks your streets, sick, suffering,
weeping,
And we perceive Him not.

SUPERSTITION.s OF BRIDES.

One of these is expressed in an old
rhyme which is familiar to us all ::
Change the name and not the letter,
You marry for the worse and not for the bet
ter.
Another is that the day must be
fine, in accordance with an old-time
saw:
Happy is the bride that the sun shines on,
Blessed are the dead that the rain rains on.
There is still another superstition
POLITICALLY rendered that a brides
wardrobe must contain
Something old and something new
Something borrowed, something blue.
1t is considered very bad fortune for
a bride to make her own wedding cake
or to have anything to do with it,
and, strange as it may seem, it has
been observed over and over again in
unhappy marriages that the bride has
stirred the wedding cake.
TO lose the wedding ring in the first
month of marriage augurs great mis-
fortune. TO lose it at any time is sup
posed to predict calamity There is
an explanation to this superstition
which is of the same theory that time
will cure all this:
As the wedding ring wears,
So wear away life's cares.

THE DAUGHTER SPEAKS.

A lady, apparently of great wealth,
had been for more than an hour impos-
ing upon the unceasing endeavors of
patient saleswoman to tit with a
ready made costume the daughter of
the shopper" child of about eight
years. The hope of adding one more
sale to her days list buoyed the droop-
ing spirits of the saleswoman and
made her indefatigable in her efforts
to please, but her hope was in vain,
for her customer finally said, well,
will not decide now, but l will return
this afternoon" whereupon her child
quickly remarked, why, mamma,
we won't have time to come back here
and the nine other stores where
you've promised the same thing

THE NAMES OF TWO CITIES.

On the principle of ''In Rome do as
the Romans do" think it a safe rule
to pronounce the name of place as
the residents of that place do. Hence
we should speak of st. Louis as though
it were written "St. Lewis" not "St.
Louee.n All good Missourians say

The Colored Mems Demands.

The Cozored Republican is the name
Of new paper dated Oxford and
printed in Charlotte. It is edited by
four young colored men, E. w. Can
nady being managing editor.
The new publication warmly advo-
Gates the shelving of the white Repub-
licans, and wants the negroes to take
the management of the party in their
own hands and to fill the offices i'll
Granville county with negro men. 1t
is very much in earnest, and from the
sentiments expressed by the speakers
! at the convention in Oxford Saturday,
it is solidly backed by the colored race.
They have made up their minds to no
longer take back seats in the Republic
can ngre-ation-they won't submit
to being sold to the Third party. and
they will do everything in their power
to get control of the county.
We give a few extracts from this
new paper:
The colored Republicans of Granville
coun Y have a better chance now than
| ever o elect colored men to office. Now
| is the time to show race pride if you pos
|
ers, but let us earnestly contend for the
nomination of honest, intelligent colored
men when the Republican county con-
! ventiOn meets.
| Let US have aState ticket at all hazard
with some cOlored men on i. Colored
Republicans, contend for your rights
Let us take advantage OF the Democratic
| split and get what we never have had
| that is office
If it is true that the white Republicans
OF North Carolina have sold the negroes
to the Thirdites, the latter have certainly
lost their money. Now, if you don't be
leve it, Third party people, Just wait til
November and your party will certainly
be found wanting.
We quite often see white Republicans
and Third partyites conversing on the
streets. Guess the latter proposes to
buy the negroes, and the former proposes
to sell them: but we will meet them al
the block, and don't you forget it
