A Governor in the Pulpit!

Says the Atlanta Constitution:

“You can’t; get out of the way;

“ Only let me see her one minute,”

the side of the chariot box ; and as
he gazed into the face, agonized tears
rapidly streamed down the cheek on

O, it was painful to hear the cry
“ Only once, let me see my mother,

Quickly and brutally the hard

so that he reeled with the blow. For
a moment the boy stopped, panting
with grief and rage, his blue eyes
distended, his lips sprung apart,
fire glittering through his tears, as he
raised his puny arm, with a most un
childish accent screamed, “when ]

There was a cotfin and a heap of
earth between the mother and the
poor forsaken child. A monument
much stronger than granite, was built
in his boy heart to the memory of the

In the pulpit was the noble and
benigned face of the Governor of the
Empire State of the South. Alter
the preliminary services were over,
the Governor arose, and, for an hour,
talked to the attentive mass of ne*.
groes in an earnest, homely and sin
cere way. He took his text from the
first gospel, and discussed the para
bles. The negroes eagerly drank in
every word that he had said, and
seemed very grateful, to him for his
coming to talk to them.
This little incident is one that
might be considered with instructive
results by those northern fanatics
who still affect to believe that the
negro receives no kindness or advice
at the South. Governor Colquitt
was elected by 81,000 majority.
Georgia is overwhelmingly demo
