OUR BROTHERS IN BLACK.

CAN Address of the South to the North)
Hark YOU, my Puritan critics.
Forget You the Cavaliers pride?
And know YOU the black Ethiopian?
The leopard-the spots on his hide?
You sold MS the African chattels;
You tempted our case and our greed,
And then You got zealousiy righteous
And warred on the law and our need,
While we made the savages Christians
And paid for the sins of us both
Now, counting the good and the evil,
We blush not, and nothing are 10th.
We forged, too. a bond of affection.
More firm than the title you gave
The veal of the served and the serving,
The love of the master and slave.
VIC sucked the breats of their mammies-
They fed from the fat of our store;
And called to the far field of conflict,
We left them on guard at our door.
We bowed to the God of the battle
We own He was wiser than We
And patiently took up the burden
OF teaching the bond to be free.
For wronging-if wrong was committed
The rod had been laid to our back;
Yet stricken We knew it was ours
To guardian our brothers in black.
And, you, in your needless ambition
Forgetting the Cavaliers pride,
Forgetting the rule of the Saxon
For which you yourselves would have
died
With bricks without straw you endeavored
To fashion new pillars of state
And seal up the house of our fathers
With sectional, partisan hate.
Instead. you made wreckage Of state
hood;
You loosed us the terrors of race
And only our God and our virgins
Know what we were called on to face
At last by the right Of the Saxon,
BY strength that was bred in the bone
BY law that is higher than statute,
We came In the end to our own.
Again we gave cheerful compliance
We took up the burden with care.
We give them the blessings of learning:
We pay-they receive-share for share
And full opportunity opens

Hens Must Lay Egg a Dav.

Bevidere, HIS, April 11.-(Specia1)--
one of the oldest contests ever inaugu-
rated by Illinois farmers is that which
has been going OH near this town for the
last two months The object is to pro-
duce as near as possible an average
of an egg Gay by some of the nlooded
poultry stock of the farmers.
During the month of March flock
Of twenty-five hens owned by Ben Lear
produced 44 eggs, an average of twenty
eggs to the hen for the month A flock
of nineteen Wyandotts owned by George
Fry produced an average of nineteen
eggs to the hen during the same month.
Ten barred Plymouth Rock hens belong
ing to W. II. Church ran the average 10
to twenty-three eggs per hen during
the month. In February the same flock
produced an average OF only a fraction
over fourteen eggs to each hen.
Ihese are considered wonderful accom-.
plishments in production, and poultry
men are hopeful that they can produce
stock that will lay an egg day in ths
longest months of the year.

because the contest closes on April 20. the
date of our next issue. Estimates must
be mailed and postmarked on or before
april 20 to be admitted in the contest.
In the three weeks remaining that you
have to figure on to the close of the

By this contest you have exact figures for
the three years just past.
Last season for these three weeks the
port receipts were 1883. Should the
coming three weeks tally exactly with
them the port receipts to May would b.
