Mr. Editor: Dear Sir :— Please allow me in your es cd sheet, to make a few sug- eestious relative to the above. The z juestion which seems to have ed the jadgement. of leading sters, Statesmen and judicious ofournation, and which few race bave dared to attempt ravel, will in the next decade half be solved, if no less op- nities are ended to our hau at present. 1 do not sure the colored race so much distance it has got to go, ‘) the distance it Las come ; b leve thousands of our in the South, rich or, see itin the same light ‘at Ldo. Oar people have Pped to wait on the passage Bla Bill, thatthey hope (twill rejoice to see; but are every Opportunity day and yeducate, obtain property , © callivate virture aud morali 1uch as was ever known in Ciozeps rorms. $2.00 Per year in Advance, story in America.

Education and Without virture and moral almost worthless aud are ‘pute factors which are ‘zthe problem, bat may be ‘ered its components, while © and morality are its prime “rs, and should be taught our ‘trom the pulpit, in the vlsaud around the fire side. *wHeve that | express the wish- ‘undreds of thousands of our bople in asking this present Con- for the passage of the Blair, 1. suuiltar bill, that may reach “<ase of the freedmen of the South. I believe the passage of | such a measure by Congress, will | gladly meet the approyal of Presi- | dent Harrison, whose message has | sats for him ee ot nine- | ‘Y per cent of the colored peopl: Ef the South. President Rien tes | distinguished himself with ‘'Vash- | ington, Lincoln and Grant. He is a great statesman, a great warrior | and a great leader, deserving the | coufidence and every effort of our, race throughout the entire South | to re-elect him 1892. This warm | expression for the soldier in his | message, the admission of so many | hew states to the union in his ad- ministration, his advice to Con-| gress to remember the widow and | orphan of the soldier, and the ap- pointment of so many distinguish- | ed colored men to prominent posi- | tions, will give him a warm place | in the heart of every philanthropist | In the nation. The colored people of the South | should be patient, but never fail- | ing to petition Congress for ev- | ery rigkt to be bestowed upon them | as American citizens. We are not | unthankfal to the God who has guided us safely through the! scenes of adversity as well as pros- | perity; nor are we ungrateful to | the Republican party by the hands of which the Almighty bas been pleased to bring to us, to our chil- dren, and to our children’s cbil- | dren the light, liberty and freedom, | as dear to us as life itself. I say, | sir, the colored people of the South | should be patient, never to resort | to any means of violence to obtain | a right which the government guar- antees. Very respectfully, Wo. H. Gaston, Huntsville, Ala. i | May 12th, 790. -o--___ WHAT IS A GOOD BOOK? | | | A good book is one that interests | you, One in which the bright rath | er than the dark side of lite is shown. | One that makes you see how | mean are the small vices of life | and how despicable are the great | sins. | One that glorify virture in wo-| man and honor in man. One in which the good are re- warded and the wicked are made to suffer—suffering, by the by, that may be of the conscience—or | in amore material way, a reward given either on earth, or promised | for the fature. | One which convinces you that) this world is filled with good men | and good women. One that breathes forth the | goodness of a Creator, and respects | His all-governing laws. | One that makes you feel you are | meeting real people—people who | elevate your thoughts as you asso- | 1 ciate with them. A good book is one that remem- ber with pleasure that when the| dull hours come you can think of with interest and feel that there are people with whom you have a most ip i acquaintance, who are yet only characters of im-| agination. | A good book is one that tells, in good Buglish, the story it bas to; sees no necessity for using foreign | words and does not quote from | ths Arabic or the Sanerit as if} the author had written it with an Kneyclopaedia Britannica beside | him. A good book is the one that we | want when weary of the people of | the world; that we can read out aloud and discuss; that we can} tand to oar dangters that it may | give them pleiure, and which willonly be a stepping stone ov the road of taste, not ouly to bel- ter and nobler books, but a better | and nobler life. Thet is a good book—and, my friends, there are bandreds of | theni. Ladies’ Home Journal. | CHOOSING A SWEETHEAT. Choose your sweetheart carefal- ly, wisely, aud tenderly, my dear) girls, says a writer in the Ladies’ Home Journal. Remember he is} to be more than even this to you) some day he is tobe yeur hus-| band, for surely you are not one of the girls who havea sweetheart) bere, and one there, and gives a little love to this one, and a little to that one, until when the real oae appears the perfect bloom is | gone from the peach aud she can- | net give him what he offers her. You girls know very quickly when | a mau means more thau ordinary | the | and | an excellent article for the me | lumbia, friendship for you. You have an instinct that tells you that this big good looking fellow has come sweet- hearting. and that this is the time for you te study' him a little bit. Think out if bis temper and yours are certain to agree well togather ; think out if his tastes and yours are alike, or if they can grow to be so, for you know, little women, if you want to be happy in your marriage life, you mast learn the great and wonderful virtue of adaptability. You must ¢hoose your sweetheart as yon do a new gown, so he will wear well; but you want him for longer than a winter; he must last through the long summer days and through the winter ones, and before you put your hand in his and tell him that you are willing to fight out the battle of life togather, think it all over and remember that you are choosing your sweetheart not for for aday or a year, bat for all through life and, please God, if you love each other enough, for after death. ————< +.
