A Beautiful Resolution.

It makes no kind of difference who
said it, but some sensible man or
woman wrote: "Let US resolve, first,
to cultivate the grace of silence; sec
ond, to deem all fault-fnding that
does no good a sin, and to resolve,
when we are ourselves happy, not to
poison the atmosphere of our neigh
bors by calling upon them to remark
every painful and ~disagreeable fea-
ture in their daily life; third, to
practice the grace and virtue of
praise" Did we ever read anything
more appropriate for these times?
But we, will forget if we don't take
care.-Exchange.

bitterly, calling them Ignorant
gourd-headed, jug-taverned mig
gers" His next effort was a funeral
sermon on the death of a man who
left a widow. In his discourse he
remarked that "No doubt the dear
departed was at that moment before
the throne of God ~interceding for
the wilder" He was arraigned for
heterodoxy, and asked if he did not
know that Christ was the only in
~tercessor? He answered yes. "Then
why did you preach differently" "I
jes said dat for de comfort of de
widder." Sam was stopped from ex
ercising his gifts in public.
About this time Squire George
Mebane's Sam also preached. His
sermon was on the judgment day,
and was somewhat as follows "Gabel
will b1o' his trumpet. He blo' so
loud he crack de ground an de dead
come outen der graves. Den your
eyes will shine like a highten' bug;
you will tremble and your knees will
knock together chickechack, like
Marser Georges cutting box.
Immediately after the war I'LL
country was over run with negro
preachers. One preached at Battle
boro. A friend and myself went to
hear him. A large number of negroes
had gathered in the old cotton ware
house. A small black negro arose
and announced himself as divinely
| called and sent to preach to them
that day. AS to his call, he told the
Lord he was not able to go; that he
could not read and that if he did go
he would be killed. The Lord COM
manded him to go and he would be
with him. He was informed that
men with guns and dogs lay in wait
for him on the way, but the Lord
caused a deep sleep to fall on them
and he passed right through them
and they did not wake, and he hadn't
heard that they had walked up yet.
He said he could not read a word,
but it was all revealed to him. The
design of his discourse was to prove
that the negroes we're the descend
ants of Ishmel. He gave a very
graphic account Of the casting out
of Hagar; that Haga's little boy
laughed at Sarah's boy and that
made Sarah mad and Sarah ran Ha-
gar with Ishmal off.
think these notices Of negro SER
mons are sufficient. It must be said,
however, hat many negroes are good
speakers to the amount of knowledge
they possess. To discuss all the pc
culiarities of the negro would re-
quire more space than could be
given in an agricultural paper.

as much as two dollarsl He and his
wife learned to read quite well. He
somehow obtained a geography and
of this study he was very fond, soon
learning the directions on the maps
and names of the different States.
Adroitly he would inquire which
were the free States, and which the
direction to them. Shortly before
the war DR.. Thomas Grifis, who then
owned him went to Texas. Quite a
number of persons wished to buy
him, as he was anxious to remain in
North Carolina, and he was a val
liable smith. Many good men great
ly sympathized with him. His mas
ter would not sell him. One of his
friends, a prominent man, procured
for him a free pass that had belonged
to q free negro, who had died. prior
to 1885 all free negroes we're required
to carry a pass with the county seal
on it, By the use of this, working
as a journeyman blacksmith he
reached G~allipolis, Ohio. Not feel
ing ecure there, on account of the
fugitive slave law, he went to Can
ada, where he remained until after
the war, when he returned to Column
bus, Ohio, and sent to North Caro-
lima for his wife and children.
The negro, like Diotrephes, loves
pre-eminence. This he shows in all
meetings where he is permitted to
take a part. He is also very fond Of
exercising his authority over others
whenever he is able. He makes a
cruel taskmaster land as a foreman
in slavery time, he often unmerci-
fully whipped those in his division.
If Mrs. Stowe, instead of depicting
Uncle Tom as helping those under
him to perform their tasks, had rep
resented him as chastizing them and
compelling them to wait on him, she
would have more TRULY delineated
the negro character. The negro is
very fond of showing his ability to
speak in public. AS the ministry
affords the best opportunity for this
and the qualifications required for
this are not very high, many of them
take to this profession. 1t may not
be amiss to mention some of their
efforts in the pulpit. Prior to the
year 1885, when they we're prohibi-
ted by public statute from speaking,
churches of different denominations
appointed negroes to exhort and
preach to those of their own color.
The Hawfelds church session ap-
pointed Bakers Sam, and he was
permitted to occupy the church on
Sabbath nights. At his first appoint
ment a large congregation of ne
groes and quite a number of bad
white boys assembled. Sam arose
with great solemnity and com
menced: "My disclose tonight is
founded on these words: Every tub
must stand on it's own bottom. Let
every man chaw his own terbacker,
and mind his own business" It was
said to have been a very original ser

More RecOIlectIOns of Negro Life

Dear Aunt Jennie In my last
communication l spoke of the South
as a vast missionary field; that the
homes of the slave holders we're
training schools where the slaves
were fitted for the various occupa-
tions of life. All that know the ne
gro race are aware that they are very
initiative and readily copy the man
ner of the family to which they be-
long, not only in the use of language
but even to the tone of voice. Gen
orally the planters of the South were
courtly in their manners, surprising
in this respect any people in the
United States. When a small boy,
l heard an old neighbor remark to
my father that if a negro was taken
and put in Judge Rufin's family and
permitted to associate with none
else, he would still be a negro in his
manner. In this the old mar was
mistaken. All the old negroes that
I know retain the good manners of
their early training. The old men
doff their hats and make a courtesy
bow and the old women drop a
Courtesy" when addressing their
~superiOrs.
Profanity was not common
among the slaves. In Christian
families moral training was not neg
lected, and l am sure the moral con-
dition of the slaves wars much better
than that of the freedmen, as our
| court records will show. They were
compelled to observe the Sabbath,
and permitted to attend church on
Thanksgiving and fast days, besides
the regular services on each Sab
bath. My father, who was a strict
churchman, on such days and Sab
bath mornings called his servants
in to family prayers.
In the year 1885 there was a law
passed in North Carolina, prohibit
ing the negroes from being taught
to read and write. It was found
that Northern emmissaries were
travelling through the South, dis
guised as peddlers, and were dissem-
mating abolition sentiment.
Nat Turner's in~surrectiOn oc-
Cured in Virginia in the year 1888,
and one in Hayti a few years pre-
vious. This caused considerable
alarm in sections where the slaves
greatly outnumbered the whites.
This scare soon passed away, and IN
MANY families the negroes were still
taught to read by the white children.
In my fathers family l taught sew
eral of the negroes to read. Charity,
nv mothers laundress, learned to
read at Sunday-school, before 1885.
Valentine, her husband, informed
me that he was sent to school with
his masters little children to take
care of them and that he often re-
cited his lessons with the white chill
dren. He at that time belonged to

er of Mrs. Nels Engen, died at APO
o'clock yesterday afternoon, shortly
after The Republican had gone to press,
at Mrs. Burns Home hospital, of ty-

C. Hogbin conducting the services.
The deceased was the twin brother
of Walter Wolbol. who died at South

he had been with a shipment of stock,
being taken i'll shortly after his ar
rival at that place. Ncls was sick at
the same time and was brought to
town that he might have the constant
care of a physician. He was taken to
the hospital upon his arrival in the
city and remained there until the time
of his death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wolbol and the sisters
of the young men are almost heart
broken over the death of the twins
so close together. They were born
May 25, 1882. in this county, and had
grown to young manhood here. Both
were students at the University of
Wyoming, in the business department,
expecting to fit themselves for active
business pursuits. The members of
