A Mother's Love. How brief is the history related in the Oid Testament of the creation of man: “Male and female created he them.” Since the formation of the first pair the entire human family have been brought into existence through divine arrangement. We owe our being to the pie existence of one whom we are honored to call “our mother.” When the world had become involved in transgression and sin, it called into requisition infinite wisdom to devise a plan of redemption. To perfect this scheme of redemption, one was chosen who was born of a woman, and when the star of promise rested over Bethle hem the tidings of his birth was an nounced to a band ot shepherds who were watch ing the fold to guard the flock of sheep, until a mother’s watch ful love should lead and conduct the coming of the Good Shepherd, who came to lay down ilia life for the wan dering, scattered sheep that were ram bling far away over the rugged moun tains of sin. This tender, loving Shep herd came to call back the sheep to the fold, from whence the prowling Wolf could no more destroy. The trans gression of divine law brought sin into the world, with all of its culminating woes. Heaven, with all of its celes tial perfection, did not contain a single being that could be made subservient to the wise purposes of infinite wisdom in perfecting a rule by which He who was just could remain just, and ye', justify many who had fallen into condemnation. This stupendous ar raugement could only be accomplished by blending celstial and terrestial agen cies. In the fullness of time, nearly four thousand years after the edict went forth, “Dust thou art and unto dust slralt thou return,” an angel was seen going to a virgin to announce tidings that brought joy and hope to the world of mankind. She who was first to put forth her hand in an act that brought desolation and despair upon the broad face of this sin smitten earth, was chosen as the most perfect being of earth, and the only ono who could rep resent her posterity in the scheme of human redemption. Love, that glit tering attribute that first conceived the plan to save the lost, was found to pervade the tender heart of a mother. No depth of human suffering can drive a devoted mother’s love away from her child. Go yonder and look at the inmates of that house of sadness and mourning. What womau is that with heart almost broken, whose wailiug cries arouse our deepest sympathy ? We need not. ask who that young man is that we see there so cold and motionless. That mother’s grief reveals the sad story of whose boy he was. It matters not how deep dyed in sin that boy may have been, his crimson deeds though loathsome to all others, still that moth er’s love leaps over the dark chasm, and hurries in the deep, deep grave of things forgotten, whatever crime that may have stained hor child. The love of a mother comes nearer the infinite love of God thau any other being this earth can produce. Go watch her untiring devotion to the wants of her child when the burning fever is wast ing the energies of vitality and con tracting the beating pulse, which often points to the terminus. Human lan guage in its highest attainments is over burdened to tell of a mother's love. Here our feeble pen retires from the task that an angel’s tongue would tremble to perform. My Mother’s Bov. Advertisement.] What a Slain. The colored people of McDonough should be proud of her schools when looked at in the right maimer and in a true sense; but w heu looked upou as it is at the present time, ’tis a shame and disgrace upon her and the community. Mr. Aaron Kinnebrew of Lovejoy, an ex-school teacher of ’B7, having lailed to make any grade as a teacher, after the state examination, threw up his professorship and went back to his farmer trade of bus’ness. For the last fifteen months the ex teacher, Kinnebrew, has been doing business for himself by running a little store. This line of business not being flourishing dunug the last summer sea son, and to favor and assist the ex teacher financially, I employed him as an assistant of mine. It is reported that the state has appropriated more money for school purposes, and this ex-teacher, Kinnebrew, who had to give up a little country school taught by himself near Lovejoy, for the lone sake of not being competent, has now opened a school at the colored M. E. church, free of charge, claimiug that the board of education would come so near paying what is due a teacher, lie will not charge the patrons anything. Any professional teacher or any fair miuded persou knows that the board of education have not paid all. neither will it pay all that is due the poor teachers for their labor. It has never made a contract under any such a fool ish head, neither will it. But we all trust that the time w ill come when she can pay all that is due the educational laborers. And to has ten the time on, let every man come up like men and pay up his taxes and be a free and independent citizen. But when they fail to pay their teach ers and fail to pay their taxes, how may we expect to rise as an intelligent race? The ex-teacher is now teach ing with the expectation of making some grade in the May examination. It may be possible that he will get a grade, and if he does I would say to the board of education look sharp, for you are his only dependence. The man must live, and besides he has no hold on any one hut you. John W. Price, who is a finished scholar, opened up at the same place a few weeks ago could not get enough pupils to continue. If McDonough needs two teachers, and must have them, and at the same time will not consent for the teachers to teach together, or in the same house, the teachers should have that firmtiess of mind to stand together for the sake of the divided race. But if one leader is going around to under mind another leader, how may we ex pect to 1 ise ? I have never in my ex perience underminded any teacher by teaching for mere gratis, or even below the figures of my neighbor teacher, but am always governed by that true say ing of our Savior, “I)o unto others as you would have others do unto you.” If a man will come around and take what you will throw at him, he will not do to trust. Money upon a dead man’s eye would be in a dangerous place, should any one fail to keep watch. M. W. Bennett. What a Ilorse Would Say If He Could Speak Knglisli. Don’t hitch me to'an iron post or railing when the mercury is below the freezing point. I need skin on my tongue. Don’t leave mo bitched in my stall at night with a big cob light where 1 must lie down. lam tied and can’t se lect a smooth place. Don't compel me to eat mo re salt than 1 want by mixing it with my oats. Dou’t think because I go free under the whip I don’t get tired. You would move up too if under the whip. Don’t think becasue I am a horse that iron, weeds and briars won’t hurt my bay. Dou’t whip me when I get frighten ed along the road, or I will expect it next time and maybe make trouble. Don’t trot me up hid, for 1 have to carry you and the buggy and myself too. Don’t keep my stable very dark, for when I go out into the light mv eyes are injured, especially if snow be on the ground. Don’t say “whoa” uuless you mean it. Teach me to stop at that word. It may check me if the lines break and save a runaway and consequent smashup. Don’t make mo drink ice cold water nor put a frosty bit in my mouth; warm the bit by holdiug it half a min. ute against my body. Don’t forget to file my teeth when they get jagged and I cannot chew my food. When I get leaner it is a sign my teeth need filing. Don’t ask me to back with bliuds on. lam afraid to. Don’t run me down a steep hill, for if anything should give way I might break your neck. Don’t put oil my blind bridle so that it irritates my eye or so leaves my forelock that it will be in my eyes. Don’t be so careless of my harness as to find a groat sore on me before you attend to it. Don’t lend me to some blockhead that has less sense than I have.
