WORK AND BE HAPPY,
ARP'S ADVICE TU-T_H_L:BOYS AND GIRLS.
Be Independent by Earning Your Living~s
Cutting a High Figure on a Small
Salary Den't Pay.
~ Not long ago I saw nice young
man who is yet in his teens going
round town hun‘ing for a place in
a store. He looked anxious and
timid and didu’t spem tobave n.uch
faith iu finding a place. The hoy
belonged to a hroken down aristos
cratic family and suddenly realized
that he had to work for a living.,
He had never plowed or hoed or
dug or chopped wood, or curried a
horse, or done auything but go to
school and visit around and have a
good tinie, but now he had worn
out his welcome and realized that
the realities of life were upon him.
He must go to werk. His hands
were soft and feminine, He had
very good clothes, was handsome
and would have made an attracs
tive clerk in a dry goods store.
But there was no place and he had
no experience. A few days after
wards, as I was weandering around,
[ saw him making up mortar for a
brick mason. He was pulling
awty as hard as he could, but I
noticed he had gloves on. I didn’t
like that until I learned that his
hands were blistered so bad he had
to wear gloves or quit. Ie was
bright and cheerful—said he was
getting seventy-five cents a day
and was promised a dollar as soon
as he could do as much work as “a
nigger.” He said he enjoyed his
weals and slept splendid, and had
four dollars in his pocket that he
had earned, the first money he had
ever earned, and he felt richer and
more independent than he had ever
felt before.
There is grit in that boy. He
has met the enemy_and the enemy
ishis. He has wlipped poverty
and dependence at the start, and if
he will keep out Lat line his fortune
is made—l mean the line of work.
He bas begun at the bottom and
will work up. He won’t spend
those dollars—they cost too much
to tkrow away on foolishness. They
eust sweat and tireq museles and
aching bones and blistered hards
and humility, but he is getting
over that now.” It nearly killed
him for the society girls to ride by
and see him at work. They know
him, and cne said: “I thought he
would have to come down.” Anoth
ersaid: “Poor fellow! lam just
as sorry for him as I can be. He
is o nice and dances so charms
iugly.”
That is what is the matter with a
good many of the yvoung wen.
They are afraid of what the girls
will sav. They had rather loaf
around anong their kin or pretend
tobe reading law than to go ta
work —work iz not exactly respee
table. This false pride isa cons

try, If he does not it is his own
fault. If he can’t get rich fast he
can slow. If he will begin young
aud work hard and behave himselt
he will accumulate a plenty for his
old age. Old age wants some mone ‘
ey. It wants rest and ought to
have it. “Otium cum dignitate” is
the Latin for dignified leisure, but
I heard Judge Underwood say it

Dig first and rest afterwards. Old
age don’t want to get up on a cold
winter morning and mske the fire
and cook the breakfast. Yester
day morning a little darky tapped
at our bedroom door and said:
“Mammy say she sick and her
can’t come des mornin’,” and then
I heard a female voice reply, *“Oh,
dear me, there it is again. I
thought last night she was fixing
to get sick. She is such an aggra~
vation. [ wish she would quit and
stay quit. Here it isseven o’clock,
and not even a fire made.” And
go the breakfast was like the trains,
an hour late, and the children were
late to school, and got marked, and
everything was out of joint,
and baven’t got strightened. out

perquisites won’t keep a ecranky

breakfast myself, but I won't do it

Mrs, Arp shan’t do it, either. She
wants Ler otium, and is entiled to

but 1t is provoking. There is a
good deal of provoking in this vale
of tears. Lest night I started to

INTOXICATED 8Y DRINKING WATER.
New Fuacls in Alesholic Heredity--Some
Remarkable Cases.
A prominent military man, who
had drunk moderately during the
war and had abstained from that
time, while attending a dinner with
his old comrades, where niost of
them were intoxicated, suddenly
became hilarivns, made a foolish
speech, and settled back in his chair
in a drunken-state, and was finally
takeun home quite stupid.
He had not drank any spirits
and had only used coffee and water,
aud yet be had ali the symptons of
the others, ouly his was intoxica~
tion from contagion—the favering
soil had been prepared long ago in
the army.
Another case was that of a man
who had been an inebriate years
ago. but had refornied, says the
popular Scientific Mouthiy. He
was recently elected to office and
gave a dinner to some frieus,
Among them was a physician who
has been greatly interested in thes
studies. He sent me a long re«
port, the sabstance of which was
this:
On the occasion referred to many
of the company became partially
intoxicated, and the host, who
drank nething but water, hecame
hilarous and finally stupid with
them. He was put to bed with
every sign of intoxication, but rc
covered, and next morning had
only a confused notion of thece
events,
- The third case oceurred four
years ago, A relorm>d man, of
twelve years' sobriety, went on a
wilitary excursion with a drinking
company, and, although he drank
nothivg hut lemonade, became
as much intoxicated 43 any of the

This event was the sulject of
much comment and loss to him,

protested, aud others confiriaed his

THE NEGRO AT THE NORTH.
HOW OUR COLIRED FRIENDS FARE IN
NEW YOSRK.
In New York city a short time
time #go, a colored man asked for
a drivk at the barof the Astor
House and was refused. He sp ke
indignantly of the affront, and cn
that accouat, was ejected, placed
under arrest, and fincd $lO in a po-
It has omly been a few days
since the principal ot the pub'ic
schaols at Jamaica, L. 1., excluded
a child because its mother was sup
posed to have a taint of negro hlood
in her veins,
Not only does this rece prejudice |
exist socially, but it extends to|
business matters. No negro can
be apprenticed to learn a trade.‘
He cannot be a clerk or asalesman
in a store. He cannot be a teler
graph operator or engineer and he
can follow mno profession except |
among his own race. He cannot
even fill the place of street-car
driver or conductor. In short all
business is closed to him except
that of waghing, scrubbing, or othe
cr menial work. |
In religion there is little or no:
attention paid to the colored man.
He has his own churches, which
are attended only by his own race,
and there are no white churches
whose doors are open to him.
Politieally the negro in the north
cut no figure etall. He is allowed
to go to the polls and deposit his
vote for some white candidate, but
there his political equality begins
and ends. No colored man is fool
ish enough to ask or expect any
political recognition, except, pers
haps, to be sent to Liberia or Hay»
ti, on some unimportant mission.
On one occasion during the
summer I saw & well dressed white
woriun, escorted by a stalwack eol
ored man, enter the grand stand at
the Wild West show. In a mos
ment sll eyes were directed towards
ihem and when they ut last found
swits every woman in the vicinity
gathered up her skirts and hastily
sought other seats. Kvery oune
scemed to think that they were go
ing to be contaminated, aud in a
little while the ill sorted couple
were oceupying their seats with no
one within ten feet of them. An
effort was made to have them cject
vd from the stand, and when it
was found that this could not be
legally dove, they were subjected
to all kinds of ridicule and insult~
ing remaiks. This they stood for
a little while, but finaily they re
tired.
Or Long Isdand there are thous
ands of negroes whe live in little
liets, scattered through the woods,
or gathered in little settlements
apart to themselves, These people
cannot attend the white schools or
churches and being too poor to
support onewf thewr own, they
have passed through more than
halr a century without mental or
moral treining. The result has
been deplorable in the extreme and
the average Long Islund negro of
tosday is in point ot civilizatiou
midway betv eea the negro of the
south a.d the wild inhabitant of the
Conze country,
It was in oue of these regro set
tlements, not two miles distant
from the cclebrated Creedmore
range, that the horrible murder of
the colured girl, Maria Jones, was
commiited lust April. The supers
stition of the negroes in the sottle
ment caused them to keep among
them an old white hag whom they
regard.d as a witch, apd who was
feared on aceount ot her supposed
supernatural powers. This wisery~
ble old erestare went from shanty
to shauty in bher rounds, and one
night finding Maria Juues slone in
her eubin, she cruelly wurdered
her with an ax, aud aiterwards re«
mainea in the rocia to driuk a bots
tle of - whisky over the corpse.i
Notbing but the worse sort of sue
perstition everkep ki old white
woman in the settlement aid even
after her terrible erime nany i»fi
the negroes were afiaid to testify
against her. {
Op one occasion last summer 1
weni to sce a vegro picnic down un]
| Long Isiand close to the little vils
l lage ot Ja naica, and while there I
winessed sights which I am sure
are never seen among the negroes
in the south,
The pienic was one “incessant
round of barbaric mirth and de
bauchery. There was no orchestra
of string or wind iustrumesdts, but
dancing was kept up to the beating
of littleand big drums and the
clangiug ot brass cymbals, There
day and night’aa to this wierd
noise the negroes danced snd cas
pered as wildly as canibals wround
some missivnary roasting fire.
There was no let up and when any
of the dancers stopped for a mo
rient it was only to visit a dirty san
loon where the vilest kind of
whisky was dealt out at five cents
a glass. Long betore night fighta
ing begun in which men and women
indiscriminately mingled, and at
an early hour of the morning the
affair wound up with a general
row.
I could not help contrasting the
negroes at this picnic with the
plantation darkey of the South,
and I could draw no conclusions but
which wepe fuvorable to the latter.
The mnegro | saw before me had
been ireec for many years, but
whet had treedom done for him?
It was too plainly evident that
it had pusbed him down rather
than litted bim up. Here he wis
just as poor and just as ignorant
as the colored slave of a quarter
of a century ago, and without a
single trace of that happy, light«
Learted disposition which will
cause the plantation darkey to live
in poetry aud song through ages

Pictures ot bright and wild uelight
To crown wy future years,
She said: “‘Dark clouds are in sy

But in the book of Fate I see
At lasi—all will come right.”
And o'er my face there stole &

And in my heart a lest, :
To think the augel Peace would

Her white wings in my breast,

A gladsome face that (lia_v;
