The Atlanta Constitution calls
the attention of Southern people
to some of the numerous swind-
ling schemes of Northern shar-
pers practiced upon colored peo-
pie. One of these is an alleged
organization offering a reward Of
$500 for evidence against any one
engaged. in lynching. Colored
people are a sked to give ST each.
The organization exists only on
paper, and would have no power
if it did really exist. A person
accused Of a crime can be tried
only where the offense was COM
mitted. These Northern associa-
tons are partly responsible for
some of the crimes which invite
lynchings. There are aid socie-
ties, pension schemes, and other
societies by which the colored
man is swindled, conducted by
Yankee scallawags who profess
to be his friends.

Envy and Jealousy.

From the Baltimore Sum-

ness, which is prohibited in one of
the commandments, but it at least
includes covetousness if it is not
synonym therefor. 1t is a petty and
contemplate fault but, like many
other faults, may be developed by
habit. Its development may, there
fore. be resisted by the cultivation of
generosity and sympathy. The nat
ural disposition of an envious man is
to exalt his own successes and decry
those of other people, even those
whom he is pleased to call his
friends. He soon develops venom
Gus, malignant disposition. Some
acquaintance or friend passes him in
the race of life; instead of rejoicing
in the latter's success he seeks de-
predatory explanations of it. His
envy leads him to detraction, and be
explains that not his friends merit
bat some fortuitous circumstance led
to promotion or proved the turning
point in successful career. Refec-
tions of this kind render the envious
man morose and unhappy. He is not
only envious of his friends; he is dis
contented with himself. He bars the
way to his own advancement by the
evil of his disposition, for he is not
an agreeable companion; he sacri-
fees the friendships that might have

We may know the plainest fact and

Death.

The fiat of Nature is memorable.
There is no appeal for relief from
the law that dooms us to dust.
We flourish and fade as the
leaves of the flower that withers
in a day. Generations of men
will disappear as the grass, and
the multitude that throngs the
world will vanish as the footsteps
on the sand. Men seldom think
Of the event of death, and it casts
it's shadows across their own path
way, hiding from their view the
faces and forms of loved ones
that were the sunlight Of their ex-
istence. Death is the antagonist
of life, and the cold thought Of
the tomb is the skeleton of all
fears. We do not like to go
through the Dark Valley, although
the Dark Valley may lead to
Heaven. We do not like to lie
down in damp graves. 1t cannot
be that earth is mans abiding
place. 1t cannot be that our life
is only a bubble. cast upon the
ocean of eternity, to float for a
moment on it's waves and then
sink into nothing; else why is it
that these glorious aspirations that
leap like angels forms in the
temples of our hearts, are forever
wandering around unsatisfied? In
the beautiful drama of Ion, when
the young Greek is about to offer
his life, Clemanthe asks him,
"Shall we meet again?" And he
replies, 81 have asked that ques-
ton of the hills that look eternal,
and of the stars among whose
azure fields my raised spirit has
walked in glory. All were dumb;
but when l gaze on thy living face
feel there's something in the love
that mantels it's beauty that can
not wholly perish. Yes, we shall
meet again. "-[Geo. D. Prentice.
