dreamed a dream the other night,
Which filled my mind with awful
fright,
Aid after 1t I could not sleep
II seemed a watch I need must keep.
| dreamed my friend had gone away,
10 stay forever and day,
And, oh, my heart seemed sad and
sore,
AS | babe God speed from the shore,
She went into foreign land
10 so journ on n mystic strand,
Der rugged seas and deserts drear;
A message Of Gods love to bear.
To perishing benighted souls
Who newer reach life highest goals:
Who never lift their eyes above,
And know not of q fathers love.
But then how will they Ger blieve.
Unless from others they receive.
The words which are of words most
blest,
Which ldndle joy within the bA,ast.
But my dear friend had perfect faith
And did not fear the stalking wrath
OF fevcrs, plaques and direst care;
Since God, her God, was everywhere.
She knew that life Is lord Of death
And that we draw not ono short
breath,
Without our heavenly Fathers will,
Who lives and rules all nations still,
And yet l know her faith is right
For I have seen it's potent might.
And know when earth's joys fade
away; :"
l, then shall gain eternal day.
But, then.@I always loved her so,
And twas so hard to see her go;
And though I babe good by eant
smiled
I could not then be reconciled.
And strange the dream is somewhat
true,
It's very realistic too;
For ere few short months pass.by,
My friend and I must say goodbye.
kut hush complaining heart of mine,
10 Gods will mine I will resign;
But dear Lord, bless her day by day
And keep her on her pilgrim way.
And on her let thy dear face shine
And let her rest her hand in thine.
Thy bounteous mercies never cease.
Ana grant her everlasting peace.

BRASS TACKS
NEW TREND OF THOUGHT.


Tho trend Of thought Of the colored
population seems to be directed along
the line Of political endeavor. Much
speculation is RE concerning the best
methods Of utilizing the more than
5000 votes to the best advantage for
our more than GO 900 black folk hero.
Some opinion favors n movement to
discredit tho lilly white Republicans
here by showing the strength OF the
colored Republican vote by using
Others favor utilizing the ballot in
local elections to benefit the civic
conditions here by voting only for
those candidates who will pledge to
work for better conditions among the
colored districts.
Colored Republicans have filed J.
r. Pollard as candidate for the
United States Senate and III, II. Price
for Congress. How to use the vote
for local applications is now worrying
the brains of Richmond colored stu
dents Of applied political science.
NEW CHURCHES.
Richmond is destined to have some
fine new churches in the next few
years. Fifth Street Baptist Church
is already pledged to build a fine
structure and plans for building
fund are in operation. Sixth Mount
Zion Baptist Church has decided to
erect a beautiful structure at Saint
John and Duval Streets. The pic
ture of this proposed magnificent
edifice Is now on exhibition. The
Mt. Olivet Baptist is ahead of them
all, the roof having been placed on it's
new structure at 25th and S. The
Presbyterian Mission on Seventeenth

building which will care for all of the
needs of it's members and friends.
