The negro is a good laborer on a cotton tarm, butis .a.bad citizen, We abuse the negro on account of his ,ltadicalism and his thI.vish propensitids,- but, when he seems to be making a success ful etofrt to getaway, then we discover that he is a "great' institutfon." It is our abiding conviction that he ever has been and ever will be a curse to our country. For this- he' is,"not alone blatiewdrthy. His labor, - as now' managed, is of very little. pecuniary benefit to his employer. lie is a fail ure -as a law-maker; but to his ranks we may confidently look for recruits for our prisons. The best of all is, lie is a good shade in hot weather for a lazy man. GUNTER. QVA rn.G.V g,r.Y rp.. ]Daete .8t .8phen's CAu rh---A Impressive Service. The day was lovely (and who ever saw Easter Sundaay a rainy: day?) and notwithstanding the frobty. weather of the past two weeks, nature, both in gaiden and forest, expanded the rose andi the leaf, typefying the victory over the grave; and in the balmy stillnuss of the scenery could be imagined the resolute announcement of the Redeem er as he burst from his granite sar-s cophagus--"I am the Rresurrection and the Life." The services were conduct ed by the Rev. Mr.: Obear,. assiyted by Aaj. Charles E. Thomas, lay reader. The venerable rector preached from Job, 14th chapter and' 14th veree-'"I ~ 0i~.i1 ~ ~gwfin?.,All f.hA days of my appointed time will ~wait, till my change core." *.The Architectureef this chureli is"ab beautif\tl that the festooning and- dec4k tAions showed to the very best advant ae.

On tOie right'of the chancel were the words, "Hie dieth no. more," and on the left, '"Christ Is rise.n." The large white marble font which was present ed to this church by St. Chrysostom Chapel, Newv York city, a fe* 'years ago, was garlanded at its base with cedar and white blooms, and fron .the' basini stood out the Easter cyoss.S vith Its crown) bf andr4iifes.' 1.pon two small tables arrangad diagonaillyr across the Monr-th'fmngne were arranged white, pink ?&u& erlin son geraniums.
