Dream of the future dim
'Tis thine Away to dream
Though dreams but oft deceive,
No matter what they seem.

Far to most distant sky,
And pleasing omens bring;
And should perchance they fail
And wrathful tempests seize
The place of gentle gale,
Still dream of pleasant lees.

ODDS and ENDS.
An Enjoyable Time.

When the radish bloometh brightly,
And the peas are coming round,
When the "tater" slowly riseth
From the rich and mellow ground
When the lettuce gives its surcease,
And the parsnips come to view,
And the onions fast increase
In mad and merry crew;
That's the time when earth hath pleas
ures
And the sorrows roll away,
For the ground reveals it's treasures
And we think they've come to stay"
April in Tennessee is like a smile on
child's tear-stained face. 1t is a
month of disappointments, of broken
promises, and is as full of guile as an
accomplished flirt, While it laughs it
threatens tears, and when the tears fall
in sprinkling rain the laughter comes
back in flashing sunshine, and every
thing looks better, brighter, more beau
tiful than before, 1t is the cloud-shad-
ow of the year, and spends its measure
ment Of existence as mysteriously.

Plymouth Church and the Negro.

Rev. Lyman Abbott, the present
pastor of Plymouth church. does not
hold the same views with the late
Henry Ward Beecher.
The following is Rev. Lyman Abb
potts most recent utterance: at is
safe to assume that the African race
is socially and temperamentally diff
ferent from the AnglO-SaxOn race.
The negro is not merely a sunburnt
white man. 1t is also safe TO assume
that whatever that race may be in the
future, it is at present a. a race in
feriOr to the AnglO-SaXon. The one
has three centuries of slavery and un-
numbered centuries of barbarism be-
hind it; the other race has ten GEN.
turies of Christian civilization behind
it. If the AnglO-SaxOn race Of today
were not superior to the African race
of today it would be either because
the African is naturally immeasur-
ably the superior race or because cen
turies of Christian education pro-
duces no effect on ch aracter."
