Heartbreaking Little Story of Two
Devoted Old People.
"How's business, Ebeng
The old man was washing at the
sink after his days work.
Fine, Marthy fine!"
Does the store look just the same,
with the red geranium in the window?
Land, how I'd like to see it with the
sun shining in! How does it look,
Eben?"
Eben did not answer for a moment;
when he did his voice shook a bit.
The stores never been the same
since you left, Marthy."
faint little flush came into Mar
tha's withered cheek. Is wife ever
too old to be moved by her husbands
hattery?
For years Eben and Martha had
kept tiny notion store; then Martha
fell sick and was taken to the hospital
That was months ago. She was out
now, but she would never be strong
never be partner in their happy little
trade again.
Il can't get over hankering for a
sight of the store" thought Martha
one forenoon. "If take it real careful
/ can get down there; 'tisn't so far.
Eben'll scold, but he'll be tickled most
40 death"
1t took long time for her to drag
herself downtown, but at last she stood
at the head of the little street where
the store was. All of n sudden she
stopped. Ahead, on the pavement,
stood Eben. A tray hung from his
neck on which were arranged n few
cards of collar studs, some papers of
pins, and shoelaces. Two or three
holders were in his shaking old hand
and as he stood he called his wares.
Martha clutched at the wall Of the
building. She looked over the way at
the little store. It's windows were fill
ed with fruit, and an Italian name fiut-
tered on the awning. Then Martha un.
derstood. The store had gone to pay
her expenses. She turned and hurried
away as fast as her trembling limbs
would take her.
1T will hurt him so to have me find
outw she thought, and the tears
trickled down her face.
Hes kept a secret from me, and I'll
keep one from him." she said to her
self. He sha'n't know that / know"
That night when Eben came in, chill
ed and weary, Martha asked, cheerful
~, the old question:
Flows business?"

Nearer Home.
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and DER;
I'm nearer my home to-day
Than l ever have been before
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown,
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the silent, unknown stream,
That leads us at length to the light
Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dread abysm
Closer Death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.

Have almost gained the brink;

Father, perfect my trust;
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of living faith.

What is the Negroes Burden
Washington Post.

ashingtOn Post.
We published in our edition of
Monday morning q very intelligent
communication, signed ''R. S. Rives"
1t would have been greatly improved,
however, by the omission OF its
closing paragraph:
II think if the negro bears patient
~ his burden, trusts and serves his
God, ceases to do evil, and learns to
do right, he will and must survive
the crisis. We beg the good white
people of this country to give US a
show in the manhood market of
American citizenship. And ere the
sun sets at the close OF this century
we will be people of whom the
nations of the earth may not be
ashamed"
What is this ''burden' which the
negro is told to ''bear PATIENTLY"
One hears a great deal about it, but
we have yet to see it identified in any
satisfactory way. Go where you will
within the boundaries of the United
States and you will find prosperous,
contented, cultivated, highly educa-
ted colored people. You will find, also,
degraded. ignorant, criminal colored
people. The same phenomena are
presented, however, by the whites.
In each race there are rich and poor,
accomplished and illiterate, civilized
and savage. Where is this burden
which they tell us is peculiar to the
negro? In the South, at least, there
is no place where a colored man who
wants to work cannot get employ
ment. There is no place where he
cannot accumulate property, accord
ing to his industry and thrift. The
whites do not put distinctions in his
way. On the contrary they encourage
and they help him. The whites do
not take away his money or his
house after he has acquired it. On
the contrary they enact laws and
maintain institutions of government
under the operation of which he is
protected in the enjoyment of all his
rights.

We are not without hope that to-
bacco prices will improve when the
better grades of the new crop, which
is still in the field, with the exception
of primings, begin to appear on the
market, but there is nothing certain
about it and the doubt does not pro-
mote complacency. However much
some people may think otherwise,
none of us live to ourselves. There is
an inevitable interdependence. No
thoughtful business man in the city
can be Indifferent about the welfare
of the farmer. When he suffers we all
suffer, and when we suffer he generally
feels it, too, in one way or another.
There is no sense in the talk so often
heard about the clashing interests of
city and country. Each needs the
other and especially does the city
need the country.
