It's Alright.

We have just received one Of the
Frederick Douglass watches 30 exten-
sivejy advertised by The Colored Amer
lean, and which has been advertised IL
this paper, It is a neat, attractive
unique watch and it is guaranteed.
We have dOnnsd it ourselves and we
are proud to show it to our friends.
Every intelligent Negro, man, woman
and child ought to have one of these
watches. 1t Is not only useful but the
fact of having it Is the highest tribute
that can be paid to the greatest Negro
American this country has ever pro-
dued.
The COlOred American is to be con-
graduated on its enterprise in giving
such valuable as we'll as such an sp-
propriate present. Mr.. Douglass was
never certain of the exact date of his
birthday. but. knowing that he was
born sometime in February, he selected
st Valentines Day as his birthday
and once year the cOlored schools of
the District Of Columbia, as we'll as
many schools in the other states, give
the pupils holiday in honor.
Those who would like to have one of
these watches should read their adver'
tisement in another column or should
write to The COlOred American, Wash

present worth having The Douglass

JOSEPH IN PTISoN Gen. xxxIx. 70 to xI.. Is.

Joseph was there in the prison; there are probably several years of monoto- nous, weaTisome, bitter life covered by that short phrase. Nothing is told, for there was nothing to tell. He was un- noticed and unknown, with none 10 speak kindly word.
 The prison cell was the mount of vis- ion. from the height of which he saw. as he had never seen before, the pano- rama of divine lovingkindness. It were we'll worth his while to go to prison to learn that.
 Whenever you get into a prison of circumstances, be on your watch. Prisons are rare places for seeing things. II was in prison that Bunyan sa " his wondrous allegory, and Paul met the Lord, and John looked through heayen open door. and Joseph saw Gods mercy. God has no chance to show his mercy to some of Us except when we are in some sorrow. The night is the time 10 sec stars.
 1.-The Lord is thy keeper" Amid the perils that threaten Us, the snares laid for our feet, the enemies that as- sail. and considering also our infirmi- ties and our natural tendencies to evil, the assurance yielded by these words is most certainly encouraging. We need a divine keeper. He never slum- bers. He is never surprised. He is always al hand. His resources are in- finite. He is never weary; never dis couraged. His understanding is infin- ite. He never fails nor forsakes his people who trust in him.
 Joseph's brethren sought to bring him to grief. but God Oyerruled their evil and made it good. Again, Jos eph's mistress sought to blight him by the shadows of prison life, "but the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy" ThOTns were placed

The onlookers were established as
