It is not to sweep the house, and make the bed, aud darn the socks, and cook the meals, chiefly that a man wantsa wife. If this is all he wants, hired servants can co it cheaper than a wife. If this is all, when a young man calls to see a lady, send bim into the pantry to taste the bread and cakes she has made; send him to inspect the needle-worg and bed making; or put abroome into her hands and send him to witness its use. Such young man will quitely look after them. But what the trae man most wants of a wife is her companion ship, sympathy, and love. The way and man needs a companion to go with him. A man is sometimes over taken by misfortunes; he meets with failure and defeat; trials and needs one to stand by him and sym- pathise.

Lee, preached to quite a large audience a very interesting and instructive sermon from St. Luke II 15th verse. «Let us now go even unto Bethle- ham and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.” The church and congregation presented the pastor the sum of $26.25 in money, the Sunday school also presented him $10.00 making a total cash of $36.25. The following is the letter to the pastor from bis school : City, Dee. 23d, 1888. Rev. J. H, Lee, Our Dear Pastor: We have agreed to give you asa Christ- mas preseut the enclosed $10. Ac- cept it not for its great value but as a little token of our love for you. Our appreciation of the help you have been to us, the love you have shown toward us, the godly ad- vice you have given and the many lessons of encouragement you have given us cannot be told by words or gifts. Weare lovingly your sisters and brothers in Christ, Teachers of the Sunday School. T. K. Ware, sec’y, A. H.

Little Jimmie Lee received as a present from Deacon West, a fine pair of shoes which pleased him much. The oth- er children also received a number of presents. And Mrs. Lee was the recipient of a very handsome lady’s blue cloth suit and a pair of kid gloves. On Wednesday, Dec. 26th, the Savbath school convened at the church at 5 p.m., and had appro- priate exercises for Christmas, such as singing, recitations, essays, solos, ect. After which the teach- ers served the children with ice cream and cakes, candies and nuts. Allhada good time. They also showed their great appreciation of the labors of their good superinten- dant, Bro. Albert H. Catlett, by presenting him,as they did their pastor,a purse of $10.00, which was received with thanks by him. On the 5th Sunday in December the pastor made an earnest appeal to the church and Sunday school for Africa, which resulted ina col- lection of $10.14. This collection we takeup every Sunday to aid the cause of Christ in Africa. There were 18 persons who asked for prayer on watchmeeting night. We commenced our week of prayer last Monday mght, looking forward toa glorious ingathering of many precious souls.

T. ea ON PUBLIC Souloque, P.O., Iberville, La., December 2oth. 1888. Editor Times-Demoerat : in your paper of this date my attentioa is called to the following: “THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH.” “A few days ago “The Times- Democrat” called attention to the fact that the Negro was treated much worse in the North than in the South, being crowded out of all the trades and industries, if not im- possible, whereas here he is always certain of imployment.” _Now, sir, | desire to throw out tais wager to any colored man North of the Ohio river: st. I would say that in the Par- ish of Iberville, La., within the last five years I have competed against about 50 white Levee Contractors before the State Board of Engi- neers, under Governors McEnery and Nicholls—beimg under bond with the State of Louisiana for the amount and will have constructed when my present Levees in Lber- ville will have been completed, for about $35,000 worth of Levee work with white Superintendants and colored Superintendants—white laborers and colored laborers work- ing side by side for the same wag- es. Now, tothe point: If any col- ored man North of the Ohio river will send me to Soloque, La., a cer- tified certificate from the Secretary of State of any of the States north ofthe Ohio river, showing that said colored man did, in person, compete before a board of State public work ; and that he is him- self in charge of State work for over $2,000, and is under bond, and that he bas under him white sa- perentendants and colored superen- tendants, white laborers and colored laborers, all working for the same amount of wages according to their positions on his works—I will ship to his address, freight paid, a Jer- sey Heifer, which is registered in the American Cattle Club book, of New York, as worth $250. This wager will be kept open for 90 days. White and colored papers in the United States will please copy. I speak not as a Democrat but as a Grant, Blaine, and Harrison Re- publican of the South.
