A mat¬ tress which was carried into a negro house close by ignited setting the house on fire, but for timely inter- ference of a negro man who had not so easily yeilded to the drowsey God, Morpheus the whole would have been cremated, so much for clear conscience and a sound sleep.

I will give you a few dots from this place. We are needing rain.

We have preaching at Fellowship church every third Sabbath and Saturday before. The Negro is having a splendid time fishing as they say they can’t find any work, but they will buy on a credit if they can. Mr. Editor if you think these re- marks are worth printing you can correct.ny errorln them and them,if not worthy ot printing teare it up. FLOW T1 Bov. Amateur Spring Poetry. On April first we children thought That we would have some fun, Enjoy the day, and a lttle walk, Beneath the April sun. So we hied to the littl brook, Not far away from town; We neither had a pole or hook, When the brook we had found. So full of glee was our crowd, We took not time to think; We made us up an April shrowd, And placed it near the brink. Near the hank if the little brook. We spread our dinner out; When of these we had partook, We sought a homeward route. We hoisted high a flag of truce, And majehed up into town; The joys wt had were so profuse, We could not keep it down. Our flag was a large white shawl, And belonged to Claudia Gay; And hoisted at the captain’s call, Of march, march, away. The day was spent in merriment, Each one had had his fun; The party had its full consent, To erjoy the April sun, Now to our teachers we vote our thanks, And wish for them a joyous life. For kind forbearance with our pranks, In this world so fraught with care and strife. One of the hoys. Programme For the Easter Concert and Egg Breaking. Friday night April 23rd, 1886. Singing.
