E'Woe be Unto the Colored Race"

Florence, Aug. 25-Part of the
colorsd population of the city is in
quite sad state of mind over the
appearance of q strange spider which
they cay possesses the faculty of writ
ing. They declare it is a warning
from heaven that the DAY of judg-
ment is near at hand and in conse.
quence are having some warm revival
meetings, many having become con-
verted and sanctifed.
The spider, it seems, ia a strange
one, not like any ever seen before.
It is about the size of silver dollar
and spins peculiar shaped web
The interpreter says it forms the
letters "W. B. u. T. G. r. which
be interprets, "Woe Be Unto The
Colored Race" Negroes from miles
around have come to view the specta-
Gle and one of the colored ministers,
it is said, has preached sermon on
it's significance, comparing it to the
hand writing on the wall. Intelli.
gent parties who have seen the won
derful sight see nothing strange
about it. What is referred to as
writing they say is simply a V-shap-
ed web, yet it is doing a great work
among the negroes here.

The police are paying close atten.

to cruelty to animals, and every case
which comes under their notice, OF

ly acted upon. This morning they
arrested a negro boy, Willie Hobbs,
who had most fendishly beaten a
poor mule attached to a City Trans.

barely walk. Great whelps were
upon it's sides, and to anyone who
saw it it was difficult to repress a
feeling that a similar punishment
applied to him would not be too
severe.

Rock Of Ages. "

Seldom have we read q sweete
illustration Of the thoughtless an
the experimental way of singing tbi
precious hymn than that which
embodied in the following apony
nous verses, which We take from a
exchange:
Crock Of Ages, cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung;
Fell the words unconsciously
From her girlish tongue;
Sang as little children sing;
Sang as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words like light leaves down
On the current of the tune
Rock Of Ages, cleft for ME,
Let me hide myself in The.''
"Let me hide myself in thee
Felt her soul no need to hide.
Sweet the song as song can be-
And she had no thought beside,
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not they each may be
On some other lips prayer
Crock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
''Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,''-
Twas woman sung them now,
Sang them slow and wearily-
Wan hand Oh her aching brow.
Rose the song as stormed tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred
Every syllable prayer
Crock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Crock Of Ages, cleft for me-
Sung above coffin lid;
Underneath, all restfully,
All life's joys aud sorrows hid,
Nevermore, O storm tossed soul
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore from billows roll,
Wilt though need to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye still, the words would be,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

In concert. in the present instance,

Nothing succeeds like success.
Jose's rise from a humble blacksmith

to be proud of and reads like a TO
nance, or a theme in fiction. Jose
loves his art, his work is his life,
which probably accounts for the rare
soul quality and spirit with which he
imbues the songs he sings with SO
much warmth and color.
A special feature of his present en-
sagement here will be his rendering
of the beautiful song TOO Late, a
