STAY AT HOME.

We believe a great mistake is being
made by our educated and wealthy
Colored men going North as soon as
their means and opportunity affords
them. We will admit that the lack of
prejudice and discriminating laws
makes life more pleasant in the North
but we owe our race a duty, and that
is, to raise the masses of our people.
Our Southern cities are full of vices,
and our rural districts full of Hitter
acy, and as long as such condition
prevails, public sentiment will be gov
erned largely by what they see. Our
educated men Should take a deeper
interest in church work and reforma-
tory measures, to the end that there
would be no such thing as a Negro
slum. The flower of our men in this
city visit the Bowery-her dance halls
and pool rooms, and socially suffer
no inconvenience, therefore, our Bow
cry should be a burden upon the
hearts of all the Christians of this
city, for if the Negro citizens ever ex-
perience a racial clash, it will begin in
a Bowery district; and as this is true,
would it not be expedient to circum-
vent its effects by doing everything in
our power to discourage young men
from loafing and lettering in that
vicinity? Our Y NJ. c. A is again
open, with a very efficient secretary.
and every inducement possible should
be made to encourage our young men
to take advantage of the splendid op-
portunities of making useful citizens
