Davis. — — THE SLAVE MOTHER'S STORY. | BY REV. WALTER H. BROOKS, ‘Twas as we sat one evening Beside the cabin door, Yorgetting quite the sorrows Which all our lives we bore. And talked of bliss of heaven With rapture and in tears, And golden streets and angels Far, far, beyond the spheres. Old master came with fetters And bound my daughter tight, For he that day had sold her | And she must go that night. I saw the traders take her; I heard their jests profane, As trom the dear old cabin She went in galling chain. I saw them treat ber rudely— | Insult to her face For they had bought my daughter | For barter and disgrace: | But she bad pledged her Master, | Who dwells and reigas on high, | To lead a life of viriue Or, in the effort, die. So weeping for her mother, And hot with rage she went | She knew not, ask’d not whither | Till days and nights were spent. | \ She went to lose, not houor, | But life itself instead, For news came shortly to us, “Thy daughter, now, is dead.” | Sleep on my child till judgement Thy sacred dust shail rise, | And thou shalt judge thy masters | From thrones within the skies. | Thus spoke a mother to me, As through the South I went To find out why the Negroes, When slaves were not content. And, as I heard her story, And saw her furrowed face, And had the proof from many | The thing had taken place. I felt the blood go coursing Through all my manly frame, Ay! felt as they did, who fought To free our land from shame. But I should not grow angry, | The slave is free to day, | Tte horrors of his boudage | With it mast pass away. | Yet, like some field of battle, All strewed with wounded men | When cannon cease their thander } And peace has come again. The South is covered over | With marr’d and battered forms, | Wha, in their state of surfdom, | Brook’d fierce and bitter storms. | Their minds and hearts and bodies | Have each alike been crushed ; ‘Tis ours to help these weak ones. | So shall their cries be hushed. Then let us help the Freedmen— Help make their lot secure; Help educate their children, And make them wise and pure. Help make their homes a comfort— Their rights let’s help maintain ; Help them when traly worthy, Destination proud attain. Aud when the late oppressor Lifts high bis hand and smites The ignorant and helpless, Because they plead their rights, | QO! let us, one and many, | Take up the Negro’s part, | auything but he is looking+ And tell the pSuedo master Just all that’s iu our heart, | | Ay! tell him by our protests From pulpit, stamp and press | Tell this our Christian Nation Shall each vile wrong redress. 1 NO MIXED SCHOOLS. | THE PEOPLE ARE OPPOSED TO THEM. There was a large meeting held last Monday night atthe 5th Bap- tist charcb, by some of the lead- ing citzens of this city. Represen~ tative Kelly, of Kansas, made the leading address. He announced himself as the friend of the colored race, and contrasted their condi- tion now with that of a quarter "Wis to say a word in behalf of! century ago. He explained the’ from 12 to 2 }and churches so long as Lama difference between the Blair educa- tional bill and the one introduced by himself. In his own the money Was not to go into State treasuries, but to the township officers and teachers. He added that he considered separate schools for blacks and whites criminal nonsense. The Constitution makes all equal. He said that he was proud that he represented a district which had done away with this kind of non- sense, A white child was as good as acolored child, provided she behaved herself. The idea that should be uppermost is that all are citizens of the United States, and the Constitution makes them equal. Rev. J. S. Cole followed ina speech, in which he said he was opposed to mixed sehools, from the fact that if they existed there would be nothing for the colored teachers todo. He was satisfied to let them remain as they now are. All that was desired was mon- ey to educate them. Colored teach- ers were amply qualified to conduct the schools. “I am opposed to mixed schools minister,” began Rey. Geo. W. Lee when be gained the floor. “1 know some mixed churches and the pastors are all the wrong color for me.” He then said that he was like the old woman when her little boy prayed for bread. She spoke up and told him to strike the Lord for pie. He was after the pie and wanted all the money Congress had to give to schools. Revs: W. H. Seott, W. H. Brooks, G. M. Arnold, W.J. Hertad and Mrs. W. H. Gray made short ad- dresses, all opposing mixed schools except Mrs. Gray, who favored them. A committee on resolutions reported the following which, were adopted : Whereas, Tke mass meeting call- ed by the Baptist conference of all | the inivisters of the District of Co-] down to ruinous figures—in some | | lumbia and vicinity to take in con-]| cases 50 on the dollar | sideration the propriety of peti-- | tioning the Congress of the United | Y rp.

The chairman of the meeting was Rev. T. S. Robinson, Kev. S. G. Lampkins, seeretary, J. W. Crom- well, reporter. The following committee was ap- pointed to visit Congressmen aud ask for the passage of some meas- ure of educational interest: Revs. T.S. Robinson, C H. Phillips, G. W. Lee, W. H. Scott, W. J.
