WOMAN’S ANSWER.
Do you know you have nslicd tor tbe costliest
thing
Ever made by the hand above ?
A woman’s heart and a woman’s life—-
And a woman’s wonderful love? :
Do you know you have asked for this priceless
thing,
Asa child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what others have did to win,
With tlic reckless dash of a boy ?
You have written my hsson of duty cut
Man-like you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar of my woman’s soul,
Until I shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be hot;
Your socks and your shirts be whole ;
I require your heart to be true as God’s own,
v And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
I require a far greater thing;
A seamstress you’re wanting for socks and for
shirts,
I look for a man and a king.
A king for the beautiful realm called home,
And a man that the Maker God
Shall look upon as he did the first,
. And say, “It is very good.”
I am fair and young, but the rose will fade
From my soft, young cheek one day—
Will you love me then, ’mid tha falling leaves,
As j'ou did ’mid the blooms of May ?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep
I may launch my all on its tide ?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she becomes a bride.
I require all things that are grand and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all/1 would sense my life,
' Td'be all you demand of me.
If you cannot be this—a laundress-and cook
You can hire, and a little to ptiy ;
But a woman’s heart and a woman's life
Are not to be won in that way.

DOTS ABOUT THE DARKIES,
The negroes in this country are evi
dently relapsing into a state of Pagan
darkness and superstition. In some por
tions of the South they have been led
away by fanatical leaders to undertake
wild and ruinous pilgrimages, which
have resulted in distress and destitution.
In other portions they have become the
victims of other follies, such as “Yon
dooing,” fetishism, and the practice of
certain sorts of incantation and witchery.
In some other places we hear of leaders
among them who .are pretending to new
revelations and who are introducing
strange practices, and demonstrations,
which they claim to be supernatural evi
dences of Divine favor.
In Elbert county, below Elberton,
within a circle of ten or twelve miles be
tween the two rivers, tlreir superstitious
nature is cropping out in various ways.
There is a growing fondness among
them for wonderful experiences, dreams
and visions. Some, with pots and herbs
and weeds, have been essaying sorcery
and witchcraft. Recently, various pre
dictions and prophecies of wonderful
things have been made by some of them.
In this line their imagination revels in
destructive storms and tornadoes, which, !
however, always fail to come to time ae-!
cording to appointment. The failure has
brought chagrin and mortification to the
would-be prophets.
Another fact under this head is well
authenticated. A few weeks ago a negro
man advertised publicly that ho was go
ing to Heayen. Said he, “My lord calls
me and I must go.” The Lord had told
him to be ready on a certain day; that
he would send for him, not a chariot of
fire as for Elijah, but a brace of white
geese would come down from Heaven,
upon the top of his house, and translate
him in the sight of all the people. On
the day appointed—the Sabbath—a large
crowd of the colored population assem
bled at his house to witness-the ascen
sion. The negro had actually made a
hole in tho roof of his house, and he and
all the crowd were in a high state of
excitement ami expectation. They waited
a long time with upturned eyes for the
white-winged carriers, but the chariot
came not, and the negro dreamer found
it was all a dream, and the deluded look
ers on went away with reluctance. Ma
ny, however, are still expectant, as the
dreamer apologised for the failure of the
geese on account of the weather, and ro
newe’d his promise to “go up” hereafter.
Among their pretended dreams and
revelations are many things told which
are sublimely ridiculous. As.a matter
of Christian experience, one fellow told
of his combing to Heaven backwards on
a ladder, and how, when he got up to the
ninetieth round, lie saw sister Lucindy,
who was dead and gone, on the ladder
many rounds ahead of him, and how the
ladder, at lest, “fell away over yonder,”
and he found himself, with sister Lucin
dy, on the golden shore, and on th>
golden shore was the “pettiest sand, and
on the golden sand was the mostest and
.tho pettiest gooses' tracks he ever did
see.”
Their worship is often attended with
novelties of their own devising-. In
some places they have what they call
“Religious Walks or Marches ” These
they have .usually on Sunday afternoons
after their regular service. They march
by couples, male and female together—
man and wife—but each one taking some
other man’s wife. So the congregation
in double file march and sing around the
church or Louse of worship, until they
work thernselv.'s up into a good way of
excitement, and then, going off into the
country, they drop out by couples sepa
rately here and there in the woods and.
fields for pious meditation an commu
nion.
Their religious convocations in some,
places are “powerful meetih’s,” but the
power is rather questionable as to what
sort it is. After their usual services at
the prayer meeting or regular public
worship ou Saturday night and Sunday
afternoon, they have introduced an after
piece of dramatic performance, which
they call “strugglin’ for sinners.” After
the closing prayer ad singing, very of
ten the preacher or leader, or “exalter,”
as he is called, declares solemnly that Lis
work is not done, that he has the Spirit
of the Lord upon him cons train-in tr him
to die- for this or that sinner? pointing
him out. And so, yielding to the super
natural power, he begins to wriggle and
twist and distort his body, and to roll
up his eyes, and to bleat “like a dying
calf,” and to surge and sway himself
about with all sorts of violent contor
tions, until he is quite exhausted, and
then he begs his brethren to lay him out
and let him “perspi e, ’ and so, will ma
ny hard struggles, he gives up the ghost
and pretends to be dead. And then
again, after reviving, he assumes to die
for the “good nigger,” and he shows
how he dies, modifying his former dying
agonies and going off rather less "vio
lently. While all this is going on the
elder “bredren and sistren” stand dr sit
around the victim, seemingly profoundly
interested, in deep religions awe, or ma
king various demonstrations of feeling
by prayer and songs or shouts and prai
sss, while all the younger people are gy
rafing around, talking, laughing, and
making the place a sort of Pandemoni
um. In the course of the afternoon
perhaps there will be three or four such
exhibitions ■ y different, persons. The
same demonstrations are very often re
pea ted during the night and their meet
ings prolonged until the morning hours.
This “diablerie” is spreading like a con
tagion among the old and young A
few of the most sensible negroes among
them are shocked by such follies and
denounce it, and say the “white people
ought to interfere and stop it.” while
others are so bewildered and deluded
they are afraid to speak against it. Even
in the fields and about their houses they
have these religious ecstacies and crazy
demonstrations, • which they assume to
be a part of anew revelation made es
pecially to them as the favorites of hea
von. In some neighborhoods there are
lenders among them bold enough to in
dieate in various ways that their religion j
must necessarily be different from the
white man’s religion, and that his Bible
cannot be their Bible.
In ante-bellum days their religious
wants were well supplied by the various
churches, and many of them had tolera
bly correct and rational views of the
great truths of the Christian religion,
and exhibited in their lives some fruits
of a true faith and of practical piety:
but they have bqen so spoiled, corrupt
ed, inflated, and bewildered by their po
litico religion's would be friends that they
are fast relapsing into a sort of semi
barbarism in a Christian land. They are
so alienated and estranged from the
white churches that they hear the gos
pel from native whits preachers with
suspicion or refuse to hear it from them
altogether. They are poorly supplied by
their own colored teachers, who at best
give them but a little wheat with a great
deal of chaff and stuff. They have been
abandoned for the most part by their
northern friends, wdio have found little
or no money in preaching to the “man
and brother.” They are proud of their
religious liberty and independence as
colored churches, but they change and
sever their church relations by whim and
caprice, oftentimes being as sheep with
out a sehpherd, not knowing where they
are or to whom they belong. There are
some exceptions in town and country,
but as a class they are to be pitied—
drifting as they are to moral wreck and
ruin. There is a terrible responsibility
somewhere. Whose is it '.

her charms and conversation, he remained hour
after hour, his orderly leading bis horse to and
froacross the lawn. It is this incident which
the engraving represents.
It is the Largest and Most Costly
We have ever offered, and can only be bad of
us, as it will not be sold elsewhere. At a retail
store similar pictures are sold at from six to ten
dollars each. It is engraved in the very highest
style of the art after an original picture, and for
patriotic as well as artistic reasons ought to be j
in every home in America.
To accommodate the tens of thousands of j
persons who will desire to have this engraving,
we offer it as a premium to persons getting up j
clubs for 1875.
Remember that the postage on both the Mag.
axine and the premium will be prepaid at the |
ollica of mailing, without additional expense to j
the subscriber.
