FOR THE BANNER & BAPTIST.
Our Home Above.
BY COL. L. T. DOYAL.
In this dark world of toil and pain,
We wander weary and unblest;
And often sigh to meet again,
The loved ones in the land of rest.
Through tears we often gaze above,
And think we hear the heavenly lyres;
And long to feel the burning love,
That each immortal harp inspires.
Ah! when shall we enraptured fly,
Far from this sin-encircled sphere;
Up to our father’s house on high,
And dwell with him forever there ?
Here, disappointments often wring
The heart with agony and woe,
But there eternal spirits sing,
Seraphic strains, and weep no more.
The loved ones that have passed away,
Through death’s dark valley bid us come;
And with the bright-winged angels stray,
Enchanted through the heavenly home.
Oh ! thou Eternal Spirit dream
On our sad soul's celestial light;
And dissipate the shadowy dream,
That lures us to to eternal night.
We cannot walk by faith unless,
Thou slialt our wandering footsteps guide;
Father, our feinting spirits bless,
Through Him who on the Cross hath died.
Oh! leave us not amid the snares
That linger on life’s road; '
Dear Saviour, hear our humble prayers,
And guide us to thy blest abode.

THE PECULIARITIES AND DISEASES
OF NEGEOES.
BY JNO. STAINBACK WILSON, M. D.
Sleeping Arrangements for Negroes.—
In view of the defective heat-generating
powers of the negro, already so much in
sisted on, it follows that comfortable beds
and bedding are no less important to his
health than good warm clothing and hous
es. Indeed, protection against cold is even
more necessary during the inaction of sleep
than when he is engaged in the active la
bors of the day.
I feel that this necessity is not sufficient
ly appreciated by some who seem to think
that they have discharged their duty in
this matter if they give their negroes one
or two little, coarse, holy-cotton blankets,
that are just about large enough to cover
the head and shoulders, leaving the lower
part of the body unprotected by this scanty
covering. And with such people as these,
all the other sleeping arrangements are on
a par —their negroes are unprovided with
bedsteads, and they sleep on the floor, or
on benches around the fire, not unfrequent
ly sitting up all night. Thus are they ex
posed to the danger of being burned up,
while the sleep thus obtained must be un
quiet and unrefreshing. I would not say
anything willingly to bring our much
abused “peculiar institution” into still
greater disrepute among its maligners;
wvMli>LJ.iun extenuate the evils
of slavery, duty requires that errors and
abuses should be pointed out, with the
hope of correction and reformation. This
is a duty due to the dependent creatures
whom God has committed to our charge;
it is due to ourselves individually as slave
holders; and it is due to us collectively as
a community of slaveholders, deeply, vi
tally interested in the vindication of our in
stitution before a misguided and gain-say
ing world. Yes, it is the duty of all slave
owners, of a’.l who are interested either di
rectly or indirectly, in the perpetuation of
the institution, to disclose its abuses, not
with the intention of inflaming a morbid
fmatieisin, but with a design of correcting
those abuses and thus disarming our ene
mies. I know that it is a delicate task to
speak of the abuses of slavery in the pre
sent highly excited state of the public mind,
even when the motives are of the purest
and most upright character—even though
the speaker or writer is as true to the in
stitution as the needle to the pole. lam
equally uware that there are demagogues,
political mountbanks, pseudo-philanthro
pists, and religious fanatics, who will con
tinue their attacks upon us in spite of all
that we can do. For many of these are
blind and incorrigible—-one-half, perhaps,
being incorrigibly wicked, and the other
half, if possible, more incorrigibly deliased.
The former includes the offic seekers, the
political tricksters who scruple at no means
to aix-omplish their selfish aspirations for
power, and who, to compass their ends,
would plunge the laud in civil war, and
inurder the people of one-half the States of
this I nion. 1 would fain hope, however,
that my estimate is too large, and that otto
half the opponents of slavery do uot belong
to this diabolical and desperately wicked
class; but though they may be com para
lively few in numbers, they are mighty in
potMr —some of them being in talents like
that tail Arch fiend, of bad pre-eminence,
of whom Milton writes.
The misguided philantn»pists. and the
religious fanatics are largely under the in- i
flueuee of these, and thev are the most
formidable in numbers and the most hope
less in delusion of all the enemies of South
ern slavery. For they verily believe that
they art' doing God service in this thing,
and when people get such a notion as this
in their heads, and when that notion is
fostered by a reckless sect of office seekers,
nothing less will move them than such a
miraculous and knoci'ing-doten power as
that which converted St. Paul. Yet not
withstanding these things, we should, in a
proper way, and w ith a proper spirit, point
out the abuses of slavery, for we are, to a
considerable extent, the keepers of each
others character in this matter, and we owe j
it to our tellow-eitiaens and to the institu
tion, as well as to ourselves individually , |
to diseteargv this duty.
I cannot better conclude this digression,
((or v*hn-h I hope I will be excused.) than •
by a quotation from Rev. C. F. Sturgis, in
the Prine Essav before referred to. He i
“ As a farmer and a Southron, I boldly
declare, that a* iroig as >ueh bad economy
in practised, in even a few case*, it will be
impossible t.> gag the aKditii-uists •_ and
Southern ; - i. ought to.protest aganist all
such Iwd economy, on the grounds that al- j
though a matt is in some sense a sovereign I
at home, and ou his own farm, still there
h a «MMt> in which we are mutually the
keepers of the characters us each other. I >
kin-w that fanatical men and women will
rant against us, do as we will; but then
the duty of the master rs to act so. that I
ail such rant sag shall be false.’’
Rut to Mum. Xegnws should have an
abvmdanl supply of large, warm, all-wool ,
blanket* Or. what would be more com-1
sortable and more economical, they might
be made to make for themselves “comforts, ■
by tacking bats of cotton between two
pieces of cloth. These could be made with
very little expense, with inferior or refuse
cotton, which would answer every purpose;
and they could be prepared by the v imen
on rainy days, when they would otherwise
have little or nothing to do, in this day of
machinery when it hardly pays to spin and
weave even on rainy days. Certain it is
that their time could not be more profit
ably employed than in providing these ex
cellent protectors, which are far superior
to blankets in retaining the warmth of the
body. Cotton is one of the best of non
conductors of heat, while the air entangled
in the meshes of the carded cotton makes
these comforters superior to anything else
as a protection against cold, as all know
who have tried them. Besides these cover
ings, negroes should have large mattrasses
madj of this same non-condncting, cheap,
and easily’ obtained cotton ; and the cotton
should be intermixed with shucks so as to
prevent the cotton from matting together
too much. Feathers are good non-conduc
tors, but of course feather beds are out of
the question with negroes. And I would
remark, en passant, that it would be very
well if white people would dispense with
the luxury of soft feather beds. Considera
tions of economy have banished these from
many of our public houses; and they would
not long continue in our private houses if
the more important consideration of health
were properly regarded. Feather beds are
objectionable because they are heating and
enervating—because they are a fit reservoir
for the poisonous emanations of previous
occupants—because they smell badly, and
because, in all probability, they interfere
with the electric currents of the body.—
Therefore, they should be dispensed with
by all who value health more than a soft
bed. And what an impetus would it give
to King Cotton,, if all the feathers were
scattered to the four winds, and the fleecy
down of our cotton fields were made our
resting place, as well as our covering.—
With such a padding as this, our weary
bones could rest comfortably; while, if
there is anything in the proximity of a thing
that so much occupies the minds of many
in their waking hours—visions of wealth
and power would hover over, or rather
rise up from their couches.
Columbus, Ga., 1860.
From the Index.
Letter from Rome,
Rome, Ga., June 26, 1860.
Dear Brother Bogkin ;— Why should not
the Baptists, as individuals and churches, be
systematic in their efforts to raise funds for
the promotion of the cause of Christ? Why
should they be different in this respect from
any other people or organizations in the
world ? And from themselves too, in their
prosecution of worldly schemes ? Nations,
States, Counties, merely human organiza
tions for philanthropic purposes, corporate
bodies for worldly gain, all understand the
importance of system and adopt it. Shall
the children of this world always be in their
generation, wiser than the children of light?
And Baptists in their connection with
these worldly organizations understand and
practice system to raise funds; are they,
and shall they be always, wiser in regard
to their own temporal perishable interests
than they are in regard to the, imperisha
ble interests of the Kingdom of the Saviour
who died for them I
But we are not left to learn the impor
tance of system in this thing by the exam
ple of human organizations, and by expe
rience. God teaches it to us in the Bible—
in His government of the Jews, none of
whom were so poor as to be exempt from
the systematic contributions and offerings
in the instruction of the apostle. “ Upon
the first day of the week let every one of
you lay by him in store as God hath pros
pered him.” Why not do this all ye chil
dren of the living God, or its equivolent ?
Aud if the doing it render agency work
unnecessary, one at least will say, Amen !
I am almost afraid to send this for pub
lication, because it has been written under
unusual muscular, nervous and mental de
bility. 1 have been quite sick, and so pros
trated in all my powers as to be unfit for
any effort during two weeks or more past;
1 am better now. and improving slowly.
Some of my friends wish me to go off'
health-seeking somewhere—to Saratoga,
some say—to Cohutta, others. Perhaps I
need rest, but I see not how I can seek it in
the way recommended. I hope I shall be
as strong as usual before a great while. 1
don’t wish to reproach myself in my last
hours on earth for consulting too much, my
own ease, or for any unnecessary loss of
time. Truly vuurs, Ac.,

It is Only a Cent.
Now, my little lad, don’t spend that cent
for candy.
“ Why, didn't father give it to me?”
Certainly, but that is no reason why you
should spend it. If you run over to the
candy shop aud buy a roll, in five minutes
you will be no better off for having the
money ; now save your money and put it
in a box.
“ But it's only a cent!”
A hundred of them will make a dollar,
and if you do not save the cents you will
never have a dollar.
“ But ]>apa gave me this to enjoy it. 1
do not want to lay it up.”
Well, i will tell you how to enjoy it—
not by throwing it away for sweetmeats;
but keep it until you have six, and then go
: to the baker’s aud buy a nice loaf of bread—
“ Why, what do I want to buy bread
for
Stop a moment and I will tell you. A
poor old lady live* down the alley below
your house, and all that she has to live up
on is what kind neighbors bring in. Now,
do you take your loaf of nice bread, and
get your mother to put a white napkin
round it, and then carry it down to her
house and say—“ Here, Mrs. 8., is a loaf
of bread, will you please accept of it.”
“ Well, I’ll do it. I know just what
she'll say; she will cry, and then put her ,
hand upon my head, and say, ‘God bless
my little boy I’ And 1 shall feel so happy. I
■ I wish I had the money now-. But 1 won’t |
spend a cent until I get it.'
| Then you will enjoy your money. “It !
I is more blessed to give than to receive.”

DAYTON’S MONTHLY.
rpHE undersigned has been often and earnestly
JL solicited by brethren in several different States,
to publish a first class religious and literary Maga
zine. There have until recently been reasons which
he thought sufficient to forbid it. Some of those
reasons do not now exist; others have lost much
of their force by changing- circumstances, while on
the other hand such a work as he proposes to issue
is more, needed now than ever before. He, there
fore, intends, at an early day, as soon as one thou
sand subscribers shall have been secured, to publish
DAYTON’S
BAPTIST MONTHLY MAGAZINE,
DEVOTED TO LITERATURE AND RELIGION.
This is not designed to be a mere compilation,
but a magazine of original matter. Besides articles
by some of the best writers in the South, on various
important subjects which agitate the pnblic mind,
there will be a series of narratives by the Editor, in
the style of '■‘■Theodosia Ernest,'' aud the "Infidel's
Daughter," designed to teach, illustrate or enforce
some great religious truth, or important religious
duties. Its readers will thus be the first to see
“DEACON CRUSTY” and “THE CRAZY
PREACHER,”
besides several shorter stories, as “THE OLD IN
FIDEL BAPTIZED,” Ate., &e.
Each number will contain at least 64 pages.—
