ONLY A BABE OF THE POOR. Only a bafty, with innocent eyes, That scans, with a mournful sort of surprise The face of its mother, ami womlrrs why Rabies mu si hunger ami moan and die. Only a baby, with face tear-stained, Wondering, doubtless, what it has gained In roming to earth with its baby grace, To find poor babies are here out of place. Only a lwiby, an innocent thing, With a touch as soft as an angel’s wing, With rosebud mouth and a face ns fair As the sweetest dream of a painter rare. Only a baby, a morsel of life. Afloat on this turbulent river of strife, With nerves to quiver with pain and feel The hand of want with its grip of steel. Only a baby, a bud from the tree <»f life that blooms by the crystal sea; That fell to earth from an angel's hand, A souvenir of the better land. Only a babr f a child of the poor, Whose hearts entwine it close, to be sure, Rut who have more of kisses than bread. And mingle their tears o'er its little head. Only a baby, fast fading away In the morning hour of its mortal day. With wan, whitefaeeand small hands pressed In meekest submission across its breast. Only a baby, with eyelids closed In that dreamless sleep no hunger know s. With its waxen handeon its pulseless breast The balu* of the poor from want finds rest, Only a baby’s lone mother to weep And sob her darling’s name in her sleep, And sadly to say in her want and woe: ‘because we are poor it is better so." Only a baby’s short history, this; A tale of its hunger and helplessness: Rut w hat of the babies who still endure? Ood pity and help the babes of the poor. New York Evening World. the intelligent colored man or woman in America, seeing the depths to which we have descended, who desires to leave his or her race and cast his or her lot with another people,, who preach constantly our inferiority, ought never to have been born. They are a disgiacc in the world, and when they are dead the abnormal negroes of this country will be belter off. I know that there are gentlemen who argue about the power of. love and oppo sites attracting, and all that kind of stuff. 1 have only to say that very- few negroes commit suicide on ac count ol “heart troubles,” and since the creation of the world, if the statis tics were gathered of the colored p sons who had taken their own lives on account of ‘‘heart troubles, would, in my opinion, be found that fully 99 per cent, did not intend to commit suicide, but thought they would scate somebody, and met with an accident. When a negro leave his race by a foolish intermarriage, it is the duty ol the race to have noth ing further to do with him. This talk of destroying the color line is non sense, and the man who talks it either shows that he docs not think or that lie is ignorant. “Can a leopard change his spots, or an Ethiopian his skin ?" One negro like Taylor is worth a train load of whites like Duck, I-cwis ad id genus omne.—Evening News, Macon. PROMINENT NEGRO LAWYER. And Late United States Minister to Li beria. The News received a visit this morn ing from Chas. H. J. Taylor, colored, of Atlanta, attorney at law, and late U. S. minister to Liberia by appoint ment from Kansas City by President Cleveland. Taylor is in Macon on legal busi ness. He has a lucrative and success ful practice in Atlanta, and bears high testimonials of endorsement from Gov. Gordon and other distinguished Geor gians, as to character and intelligence. He has been admitted to practice in the superior and supreme courts of this State, and by his general excellent department has won the respect and confidence of all classes. Taylor is about 33 years old. He was born in Alabama, and was given a good edu cation, and was sent to the university at Ann Harbor, Michigan, where he took a general course and also grad uated at law. He lived quite awhile in. Savannah, and was in the employ of Col. J. H. Kstill. Taylor has practiced law about twelve years. He has always been a Democrat. lie has held political offices in Indiana and Missouri. He was formerly assistant city attorney of Kansas City. By his powers of organization and good ad vice, he consolidated the negro vote in tavor of the Democratic ticket, and wrested the city from Republican con trol. He has been a leader in politi cal conventions. President Cleveland thought a great deal of Taylor and appointed him Minister to Liberia, which office he held two and a half years. He was encouraged to move to Atlanta. He says he has been well treated there and shown as much consideration by the whites as he could possibly expect, and has done better than if he had remained North. He came South, because he loves the place of his na tivity and because he prefers living among people of his own color and blood, and because he is inspired by a laudable desire to elevate and in struct his race. Taylor is conservative in his views, and recognizes the fact that the ne gro’s best friends arc the people ol the South. He depreciates such af fairs as the Bryant Alabama incident He thinks the negroes should be taught by Southern teachers and not by im ported Northern teachers and that the State should aim to establish schools and colleges to he under the guidance and management of Southern people. Such schools arc better for the rising generation of negroes than the insti tutions established by Northern phi lanthropy and Northern money, for then the young mind of die negro will not he filled with false teachings and evil doctrines about the South and Iter people. He desires the negro to learn that politics is not the only and best panacea for their ills. . . • . ‘‘I am an anti-misccgcnaticnist, and opposed to this attempt to absorb the negro race by ‘intermarriage.’ I shall fight all unions of the kind until the time shall come, it it ever arrives, when we can favor such unions with out making a surrender.
