What is social equality? Is it 10 be

Intelligence, refinement, morality, or

the President, a hundred dinners at
his table would not make him such,
and on the other hand, if he was the

that he had never dined at the White

The peOl ls who affect to be more out
ragged than Others at the act of the
President, are the Southern white peo-
pie. They claim that there exists a
''natural abaOrTence" on the part of
the whites to ths Negro, against any
semblance OF equality, or intermar-
rage, the proof of which is about as
convincing as the evidence the Jew
clothes dealer offered, to prove that
the coat he WAS eDdt avOring TO sell,
Was ali wool. He exclaimed 20 his Gus,

GETTING ON IN THE WORLD.
S@%$&&@@%@$@&@ k@@@@W -

When we take into consideration the
many impediments that the Negro race
necessarily has TO encounter, 1t will be
seen that the ait OF getting on in the
world" Is one Of the greater concern
than most persons imagine. There has
been many demonstrations though of
the fact, that the Negro can make his
way IN the world fully as well as any
other man, If he so elects. The first
and most i'm pOrtant essential necess ary
to ones "getting on In the world" is
to geEher ali the information possible,
as to the "hOw," and after finding the
right path, stick to it, take things as
they come, making the best OF every
thing and success is sure.

mainstay Of the individual at every
Juncture and those VINO rely solely upon
agencies other than their own merits
Will find that there Is in the path Of
life many rough places that will more
than likely, prove difficult to them.
There are many who have formed q
habit of fretting and fuming over the
few ills that they chance to stumble
upon, The habit Of worry is largely q
physical infrmity; it is lack OF har-
mopy in the mental system. The well
poised soul, the seif-contented man,
never wabbles or hesitates. The infinite
balance wheel preserves him from all
shocks and all accidents OF uncertainty.
Worrying indicates lack of conf
dence in our strength; 1t shows that we
do not lay hold Of that universal energy
which leaves no doubt, no uncertainty.
The individual who does not worry,
who believes in himself. touches the
wires of Infinite power. Never doubt

reinforced from the OmnipOtence that
