invalid for many years and :i sre.'it sutlferer.

Mr. J hi t/h 1 Vllmn:
>1*1? Fitiksi?:?Permit me to express
my thanks to .vou lor your editorial "The
Neirro Problem vs. Potatoes." I am astounded
Unit men who set themselves uj> for statesmen
and philanthropists are continually asking
Use question, what is to become of tne negro.
it is adinitied the prospects of the negro are
not wry bright, t>m iire the prospects of the
poor white men of the country any better?
The negro may inquire what ts to become of
the white man? No insignificant number ot
the white people of the country are very dependent
on the negro, and besides they tire
covered all over with m or tenures, liens and
promises ici pay. The negro is poor, uiu ue i*
generally out of debt, lor lie lias, as a rule, no
crctlit. It is as clear as day light that our
country cannot long live at ibis poor dying,
rale. A lew are, it luuy he, growing rich, but
:he multitude are on the high way which
leads to beggary.
The South is emphatically an agricultural
people and the majority of her people who
labor at all are tiilers of the soil; still nearly
everything we cat and everything our domestic
animals eat is produced hundreds of miles
away from us. We buy it all?and ali on a
credit.
The cry is made by the farmers in every
section of the State that their crop last year
did not pay the expenses of making It. This
cry has been heard year after year until every
man and woman has become perfectly familiar
with its sound. Unfortunately, for both
white man and the negro it is no false alarm.
The naked truth is, the multitude of the
\\ hile men arc hopelessly involved in debt
ior bread and meat. Notwithstanding this,
our would-be statesmen are wronging the
country with the siilyfqucstion "what is to
become of the negro."
The bread and meat merchants get the
largest amount of the cotton crop. They get
the white man's cotton and they get the negro's
cotton. With these lucts before us we
may well ask what Is to become of us. Are
i we to go on for generations abusing,the North
and all the time eatinc Northern Hour and
j Northern bacon and feeding our horses,
mules, and cows on Northern corn and hay.
The only remedy for thiscoudition of thiugs
is for our people, our white men and women,
to go to work, live within their Income,
give no liens, buy nothing except
what they actually need and have Ithe
money to pay for. A few years hard work
and judicious economizing on the part of ail
! the people would put the country ina healthy
financial condition. This is visionary. The
poor farmers and his family have learned
now to imitate the rich merchant and bankers
and they will not be likely to mend their
ways.
Wc are rapidly approaching that state of
things when the many are to be the veriest
I slaves to the l'ew. The many are now working
nearly all their time for the few. This is
I slavery in disguise.
The question?the startling question which
grates on the ears of tho white men of our
| country is, what is to become those who have
no oilier way 01 maKiug u eiui> um uj giving
a lieu upou it before it is made.
our farmers need uot abuse our legislators
on account of bad legislation. No body ol
Southern legislators is able to make corn
grow when it is not planted or reduce the
price of Northern Hour or bacon, or raise the
price of cotton or prevent a man from becoming
poor who makes live dollars and spends
six. I think your editorial "The Negro Problem
vs. Potatoes is sensible and eminently
opportune. Yours Ac.

has just received a letter from Dr. T. J. Barnards,
of England, who is the .Superintendent
ol the home for orphans and destitute children,
18 to 2ti Stepney Causeway, London.
Dr. liarnards makes a touching appeall in behalf
of these "poor waifs,| strays." He says:
I have now actually three thousand poor
children under my care and every day eight
or nine fresh cases are admitted to the shelter
of our home." "Christian people by the exercise
of a little self-denial could very effectively
hold up my hands whilst I and my
colleagues continue the arduous task in
which we have been ceaselessly engaged for 22
years in the east end of the metropolis." Of
course the kind heart of our worthy fricud
responds liberally to this touching appeal
and he will take pleasure in forwarding the
contributions of others who are likewise inclined.

Smith & Son,
The Little Maid's Ameu.
A rustic of robes as the anthem
Soured gently away on the air?
The Sabbath morn's service was over.
And briskly I stepped down the stair;
When close In a half-lighted corner,
Where the tall pulpit stairway came down,
Asleep crouched a tender, wee maiden,
With hair like a shadowy crown.
Quite puzzled was I by the vision,
[ Hut gently to wake her I spoke,
When at the llrst word, the small damsel
With one little gasp straight awoke.
"What brought you here, lair little angel?"
She answered with a voice ii^o a bell:
"I turn tos I've dot a sick mamma,
And waut 'oo to please pray her well!"
"Who told you ?" began I; she stopped me:
' Dust nobody told me at all;
And papa tan't see tos he's cryin',
And 'side, sir, I isn't so small:
I'se been here before with my mamma,
We tummed when you ringed the big bell:
And ev'ry time I's heard you prayin'
For lots of sick folks to dit well."
Together we knelt on the stairway,
As humbly I asked the Great Power
To give back her health to the mother,
And banish bereavement's dark hour,
I llnished the simple petition,
And paused for a moment?and then,
A sweet little voice at my elbow
Lisped softly a gentle "Amen!"
Handlu hand we turned our steps homeward.
me nine luuiu 3 wuguu nucw uu 1 unt,
She prattled, and 1111miced and caroled?
The shadow was gone from her breast;
And lo!?when we reached the fair dwelliDg?
The nest of my golden-haired waif?
We found that the dearly loved mother
Was past the dread crisis?and safe.
They listened amazed at my story,
And wept o'er their darling's strange quest,
While the arms of the pale, loving mother
Drew the brave little girl to her breast;
With eyes that were brimming and grateful
They thanked me again and again?
Yet I know in my heart that the blessing
Was won by that gentle "Ameu!"

Take Care of the Boys.
Yes, fathers and mothers, it is your
boys that need your mo3t thoughtful
care. It seems to he instinctive with
parents to shield their girls from the
sight or the sound of sinful things.
What mother would rest if, when evening
comes, her little daughter were at
large in the street, frequenting the village
store, or hanging about the door of
a drinkina-saloou? How many times
is the son, only a ten-year-old, away
from the sight and sound of the mother
at nightfall, breathing in a worse
malaria than that from stagnant pools,
from the rude talk of older boys, or of
coarse, vulgar men '
Out grow it, will they? Do they?
Now and then a boy poisoned in childhood
by vicious associates does live
down the poison, and comes out a
clean, pure man? but look over any
community in search of the young
men, without guile, whose souls and
bodies are clean, and are they not
the exception? Scrutinize the sisters
of these same young men and do you
expect to find the spotless among them
the rule or the exception? It is the
curse of the world that its boys are
I-??,nwr\rl 1 xr tlion ifa triple i
Jirnr> nanvuij u;u>!
that they whose temptations to physical
vices are strongest, have the least
done to fortify tlieni against evil.
Do not say that because of the difference
in their natures, boys and girls
cannot bo trained by the same standard
of morality. It is a base libel upon
manhood, fostered so long in the
world that it has almost to be believed.
If boys have greater temptations, so
have (hey stronger powers, were they I
only cultivated. JJut too often they
are wholly neglected. I)o not trust to
the future to bring your boys out right,
for it will almost certainly bring them
out scarred! Neither trust to their
1 tfi?. ti,n infnots
oeing iiuuvi' n.'injH.iin/i., i...
of angels and arch-angels would in
their infancy be subject to temptation !
Know always where thev are, and
what are their inmost thoughts; jind
this, not by prying, tyrannical oversight
of their movements, but by such
a loving, yearning interest for their
wellbcingthat they love to open th'iir
souls to yon. Some day these boys of
yours will be seeking out mates, and
jyou expect them to bring you spotless,
highminded girls. In receiving them
how can you think it honorable to give
less in return than spotless, high-minded
boys?

What She Old.
Many stories are told of the courage %
of the women of that early generation
who first broke ground in the forests of y,*
Pennsylvania and Virginia. They
were in constant peril from wild beasts
and from hostile Indians, but with he- ,
roic patience endured hardships, labor,
and disease. An example of another 1
kind of courage is preserved by the
descendants of Christiana Dickson, j
the wife of one of the first settlers of
Erie county, Pa.
She was a small, low-voiced woman, ^
extremely timid by nature, but upon ; *
one subject she was resolute: ?she had Si
a horror of drunkenness. She lived
in the days when the use of liquor was
universal. Whiskey was as common
a drmk as water among those hardy, *.
hard-working pioneers. A temper- '%.
ancc or abstinence society was unheard *3
of. But when her sons were born, she /'I
resolved, as far as she could, to put a
stop to whiskey-drinking in her home.
Her husband being absent from
home, her brothers called for the help Si
of the neighbors, according to the custom
of the time, to put up a barn need- - .
ed on her farm. They all assembled ||
and went to work, while she prepared
a great dinner.
After an hour or two, whiskey was
canea ior. une 01 aer urocnera came
to the house for it; she refused to pro- " ^ igS
vide it to make her friends drunk. r
Her other brothers, and at last an elder
in the church, came to reason with V
her?to tell her she would be accused
of meanness. 4
Without a word, the little woman M
went out to the barn, and baring her 'idfo
head, stepped upon a log, and spoke
to them in a faltering voice as fol- ^
lows
"My neighbors, this is a strange 'J|
thing. Three of you are my brothers,
three of you are elders in the church, 4^
all of you are my friends. I have prepared
for you the best dinner in my
power. If you refuse to raise the barn
without liquor, so be it. But before I
will provide whiskey to give you,
these timbers shall rot where they O.7J8
lie."
The men angrily left the work and
went nome; me liiue wurnau reiuru- ^
ed to the house, and for hours cried
as though her heart would break.?
But the next day every man came '
back, went heartily to work, enjoyed
her good dinner, and said not a word '?j
about whiskey. si
Afterwards whiskey at barn-ralsings
was discontinued in the county. ;?j
Her sons grew up strong, vigorous
men,-^ho did good work in helping
to civilize and Christianize the world; 7|1
their descendants are all of a high
type of intellectual and moral men . vlj
and women. If she had yielded this r&S
little point, they might have degenerated,
like many of their neighbors,
into drunkards and spendthrifts.
There are still vices and malignant '.
customs to be conquered, and for the J]
work we need women of high souls fl
and gentle spirits, like Christiana
Dickson.
A Crying Evil.
New York, July 7.
The continued heat, as might be expected,
tends to still further increase
the mortality in the tenement houses
on the East Side, and the labors of the
Sanitary Corps have rarely been put to
I a severer test there than has been the
case within the past fortv-eight hours. '-ji.
At [he Thirty-fourth street ferry, leading
to Calvary Cemetery, there is an
almost unbroken procession of funer- .
als from morning till night, while at . :jj
Greenwood, the Evergreens and Cy- > ;J
press Hills there are like evidences .of
the harvest of death. To persons who
really know something of what tene- >Jfsaj
ment house life is in this torrid temperature
the surprise is not that the ^
mortality is on the increase, but that it
is no greater than it is.
Fancy, for example, one of a row of ; . M
these dwellings, say in Second avenue,
containing twenty families, averaging
live persons each? iu all 100. One
apartment and a dark bedroom are usually
assigned to the family, and here
the cooking, washing, etc., have all to
be performed. There is a red-hot
stove in the apartment the greater part , - $
of the day, arid the mercury iu ttte
shade meanwhile is between 90 and
100 degrees! All the other houses in
the row are a duplicate of this one. and
of these rows, or blocks, as everybody
knows, there are many miles, east of
the Bowery and north of Houston
street, running clear through to Harlem.
A Rev. Mr. Huntington, sometimes
known as "the Episcopal Monk," has
recently published in one of the ,-M
monthlies a graphic description of the
sort of life that is led by the inmates
of I hese terrible dens, based upon personal
observation, which ought to arrest
general attention. Vice, disease
and human suffering pervade them in
ever}' form, and the worst of it all is
that the wealthy and well to-do are apparently
as indifferent to it all as if it
was absolutely no concern of theirs.
But this state of things, and the in- 'iVgjS
difference to it, cannot go on forever.
If a pestilence should break out in
these over-populated centres of
wretchedness, poverty and disease, it
would not be confined lo the dark alh-y
ways or the overheated rooms or
the wretched people who inhabit *
them, but would find its way to the
brown-stone fronts and to the families
of the well-to-do. This consideration.
alone, selfi*h one though it be, ought
to inspire a more active public interest
than at present exists in the question
of improving the tenement house system,
or. if improvement is impossible,
suppressing it altogether. The case is
one in which the motto or legend of
I the Knights of Labor is peculiarly ap- \
plicable: "The injury of one is [or V
should be] the concern of all."
Tenement houses in New York pre- ^
sent an awful record of mortality
whenever there are a few successive
days of very hot weather. Last week
there were 1276 deaths in the whole
city, and of these S34 occurred in tenement
houses. No less than 94 per
eent. of the deaths in the tenements
were of children under live years of
age. Jt is a literal "slaughter of the
innocents." *
Leopold, King of the Belgians has
never signed a death wairant, and, although
the statute has never been repealed,
capital punishment is practically
abolished in Belgium.
The population of Atlanta, Ga., by
a census just completed is 74,076.
