A NEW SENSATION,

Missouri was treated to a new SEN
sation this week, when Hon. w. M.
Moore, the first colored man ever
elected to it's legislature, was sworn
in and took his seat with the other
members of the House. He was elected
from a district in the fashionable
"West End" of st. Louis. It is hoped
that he will make good and that other
colored men will follow him until a
colored legislator will create no SEN
sation whatever.

My ear is panied
My soul is sick with every days report
OF wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.
There is no flesh in mans obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.

Not colored like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such worthy cause
DoOms and dev0tes him as his lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother and destroys:

As the service ends, the PROSTATE
Persians rise and lift their faces to
the light, singing all together: "Pur-
ity and glory will grow and bloom
forever for those who are pure and
upright in their own hearts,
And now is the chance for you to see
the king, in his purple robe and yell
low shoes, with his fan-bearer and
his parasol-bearer behind him, and
the bearer of the royal footstool to
stand ready beside the chariot the
moment the beautiful black horses
stop.
The chariots are out upon the walls

walls, and yet the boys have found
room to squeeze themselves in, and

think it is tomorrow that the caravan
starts. If we can only get place
upon the city wall, we shall see it
grandly."
And, full of the idea of being in
time for the procession, the boys ran
races with each other, until they were
close up to the great braZen gates,
which shone in the sunlight like gold.
"Hurrah; here we are!" cried
Darius. Look, Baryta, can you
read? See, the stone-cutters have
been making a new inscription, and
! we might find out what it is if we
could read"
But Baryta shook his head; read
ing had, as yet, formed no part Of
his education. He couldn't read the
inscription, and I don't believe you
could, either, if you had been there.
It was only a strange collection OF
arrow-heads, or wedges, beautifully
cut into the stone. We should find
them now, if we should go to see
| for that is kind of writing that
lasts.
Early the next morning the whole
city is astir. 1t is the festival Of the
new year; not our first Of January
but the twenty-first of March, wher
the sun passes the equator, and be.
| gins to move northward.
/ don't believe Darius had any New
Years presents, and Christmas Day
had passed like any common day; fol-
this was long before the Christian era
and there was no Christmas Day
But come out with Darius to the
banks of the Euphrates early on this
New Years morning, and see the
i silver altar placed on the highest hill
! and the priests, in their pure white
| robes, standing around it to feed the
sacred flame with pieces of sandal
wood. The chief priest pours the
! juice Of some plant upon the fire, and
then, as the flame curls up, he casts
fresh butter upon it. While it burns
clear and bright, all the people join
in a prayer or song asking blessings
on their nation.
No Persian ever thought it right
| to ask blessings for himself, but only
what was good for all, and for him
through the blessing of the whole.
Do you remember the little altar
among the Hindoo Koosh Mountains,
| where Kablu's family worshipped
without priest?
Isn't there something in this serv-
ice to remind you of it? These far
| away Persians have brought the wor-
ship of the hills with them; and Zorro
aster ttheir golden starr has taught
them that Ormuzd, the spirit of pur-
ity and light, whose temple is the
earth and the heavens, needs neither
image nor church for his worship.
