making up in some measure for the falling off in ,february4 ,but too much encouragement must not be taken from this single item4 ,let it only stimulate our friends to a steady effort to round out the year with the #cjj1jjj called for by the annual meeting and by the imperative needs of the work4 ,to reach that sum #afh1jjj will be required for the remaining six months of the year1 or #bh1jjj per month4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the most infamous enactments of the ,congress of the ,united ,states have been made in response to the demands of caste prejudice2 as for example in the ,fugitive ,slave ,law4 ,a parallel to this is found in the recent bill prohibiting ,chinese immigration----an enactment injurious to this country1 a wrong to ,china and a violation of the fundamental principles of the ,declaration of ,independence1 and of the law of ,god4 ,it is a shameful repudiation of our boast that this land is an asylum for the oppressed of all nations1 and it is a cowardly acknowledgment that a hundred thousand inoffensive ,chinamen can so excite and alarm a nation of fifty millions of people4 ,it is with great gratification that we chronicle the veto of this bill by ,president ,arthur4 ,we only regret that he has not put the veto more squarely against the principle of such prohibition4 99 99 99 99 99 ,popular virtue is spasmodic4 ,it was a spasm of public righteousness that overthrew ,wm4 ,m4 ,tweed in ,new ,york4 ,but the spasm soon passed and ,new ,york was again misgoverned4 ,sudden uprisings of enthusiasm in the temperance cause have given us prohibitory and other stringent laws1 but soon again the tides of intemperance have swept onward4 ,in missionary as well as reformatory work is the evil of these spasms felt4 ,some new developments of special need or of special encouragement arouse the churches1 and unwonted streams of contributions pour into the treasuries of the ,mission ,boards4 ,on the strength of these gifts the mission work is enlarged and new responsibilities are assumed1 but ere long the decay of the special impulse leaves the ,boards to face their newly-created obligations with an empty treasury4 ,this has been specially true in regard to the work among the ,freedmen4 ,on the proclamation of ,emancipation1 and the enactment of laws giving the ballot to the blacks1 the popular enthusiasm knew no bounds4 ,liberal benefactions called into life the ,freedmen's ,aid ,societies and filled the treasury of this ,association4 ,at length1 however1 the ,freedmen fell into the hands of the politicians1 and the nation lost interest in the conflicts of parties and factions over them4 ,the ,aid ,societies were abandoned and the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 with its vast machinery was left in debt4 ,now1 again1 within the last few years has the public attention been aroused to the education of the colored people as their only hope and the nation's only safety4 ,presidents ,hayes and ,garfield have voiced the feelings of the ,north1 and ,senator ,brown and ,dr4 ,haygood have re-echoed the sentiment for the ,south4 ,during these late years the treasury of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 has felt the new impulse1 and again it has ventured upon enlargement4 ,shall it once more be left on the sands of a retreating tide and the work for the ,freedmen be again crippled8 ,nothing will avert such a result but conscience and ,christian principle on the part of the friends of the colored race4 ,if this work ought to be done1 and what patriot or ,christian doubts it1 then the patriot and the ,christian must give it their steady and generous support4 99 99 99

educational institutions in the ,united ,states4 ,the greater part of this was given for endowments and permanent educational facilities----a portion of it had been provided by donors during previous years1 and a part still remains unpaid4 ,of the grand total only #ff1ejj was for ,freedmen----the money for their support having for the most part come through the contribution boxes4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,concerning ,,endowments4 ,the success already achieved by the institutions of this ,association and the favor already won by them among all classes of the ,southern people1 amply justify the work hitherto carried on4 ,it is believed that the time has fully come when this work should be put upon a more substantial basis4 ,permanent endowments are needed that these institutions may achieve that larger success which is rightly expected of them4 ,certain phases of our work1 sometimes overlooked1 greatly emphasize this need4 ,careful attention is invited to the following points3 #a4 ,the unusual difficulties attending the successful prosecution of our work4 ,it is no ordinary school teaching that we have undertaken to carry on in the ,south4 ,our pupils bring to the class-room absolutely no inheritance of scholarly mind4 ,only two or three generations separate them from the heathenism of the most uncivilized continent in the world4 ,some of them come with the most meagre vocabulary----a few hundred tattered and torn remnants of ,english words4 ,many of them have no equipment of general information1 such as other children absorb from their parents4 ,but worse than all is the evil inheritance which many of our pupils bring from centuries of heathenism and slavery4 ,let us be frank and add that even the great boon of freedom1 so righteously conferred1 has1 by the very suddenness of its bestowal1 unavoidably brought peculiar peril and damage to many of the freedmen4 ,it is not a light task to deal with such material as this4 ,moral character must be developed at the outset and carefully nurtured all along4 ,the rubbish of incorrect speech must be cleared away1 and a correct and copious vocabulary formed4 ,the commonest facts of general information must be imparted4 ,of course1 in our higher institutions there is less of such work to be done2 but a still more responsible and difficult task takes its place----that of preparing college and normal students to perform this same arduous primary work as teachers and leaders of their own people4 ,never was such a mass of ignorance thrown so suddenly upon the educational resources of a civilized people4 ,but there is a brighter side4 #b4 ,the unprecedented facilities now available for the prosecution of our work4 ,never was a civilized people so well prepared as our nation now is to meet this great emergency4 ,the progress made in the science of education was never so great as it has been in recent years4 ,the adaptation of methods of teaching to the varying necessities of pupils was never so well understood as now4 ,text-books and school apparatus1 juvenile literature and helps for ,biblical study were never so excellent as at present4 ,the value of industrial training1 even as an element in the most liberal culture1 is receiving unwonted emphasis4 ,in short1 the accumulated wisdom of the latest and best century stands ready to serve us1 if we only summon its aid4 ,much of it is in service already2 but far more is needed than our present financial resources can command4 #c4 ,the necessity of a high order of talent in the teachers and managers of our work4 ,to understand thoroughly the needs of such pupils as crowd our schools1 and to apply successfully the most approved educational methods1 requires something more than an ordinary teacher4 ,an eminent advocate of popular education has stated it as his belief that the most interesting and valuable improvements yet to be made in pedagogical science will be made in connection with the education of the colored people4 ,but tyros and bunglers in teaching will never give us much that is interesting or valuable4 ,the very best teaching ability must continually be employed in our schools and colleges1 and be properly remunerated4 #d4 ,the relation of our work to the future of education in the ,south4 ,the justification of all ,northern missionary teaching in the ,south has been that it was designed to accomplish what the ,southern people were not prepared to do themselves4 ,to whatever extent they may in the future take up our work1 it will still be our mission to maintain that helpful leadership which it has been our privilege to exercise from the beginning4 ,our institutions should be the best and do the best work of any in the ,south4 ,we should be the first to discern the peculiar needs of ,southern pupils and the first to introduce whatever is new and excellent in educational appliances4 ,we ought1 for instance1 to have at once industrial departments connected with all our larger institutions4 ,every normal and college graduate should be able to use intelligently either the wood-working or the iron-working tools2 and the same expenditure of time and money which the ,harvard and ,yale boys make in learning to wield the oar and the bat would accomplish this much desired end4 ,already our institutions are being visited by ,southern teachers eager to witness the advanced methods of teaching already introduced4 ,we should always be able to reward such visitors by showing them something which they have not seen before4 ,above all1 we should send out from our institutions such noble specimens of young manhood and womanhood as shall prove a stimulus to the whole educational work in the ,south4 ,the destiny of the colored race is to be largely determined by the character of the young men and women now crowding forward into active life4 ,the immediate future will demand all our resources1 and more1 to save these young people4 ,in the more distant future1 our success as influential leaders in education will depend largely upon the promptness with which our institutions are now put upon a substantial basis4 ,every consideration of past success and of present and future need enforces our plea that these endowments should be provided at once4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,rev4 ,j4 ,m4 ,,williams1 of the ,mendi ,mission1 died at ,freetown1 ,february #ba4 ,mr4

has been a great deal of religious interest among the students here4 ,at the meetings1 which have been held nearly every night during this time1 twenty-nine persons have told us of their determination to serve ,god for the rest of their lives4 ,many of those who have lately begun this new life are young people1 who have a good deal of influence over their classmates and associates4 ,we feel glad to know that now they are on the side of ,truth and are ready to use whatever influence they may have in the best way4 ,not only have sinners been converted1 but ,christians have been stirred up to do better work4 ,one night1 after a sermon upon the subject 8,confession10 from the text3 8,will a man rob ,god8 ,yet ye have robbed me10 an invitation was given to all who felt it to be their duty to confess any sins that were weighing upon them4 ,the first who arose was a young man who was converted a year or two ago1 and who has ever since been foremost in every good work4 ,he said that he had been guilty of an act of dishonesty which had caused him much sorrow4 ,in a lesson that he had written upon the board a few days before he had misspelled a word4 ,one letter was wrong1 but as it happened to resemble very closely the right letter1 he reported it as such when he saw his mistake4 ,for the next three or four days he had no peace4 ,he knew that he ought to confess the act to the teacher whom he had deceived1 but he was afraid that she would lose all confidence in his integrity4 ,he also tried to persuade himself that it was a very little thing1 hardly worth reporting4 ,why not keep quiet about it8 ,no one would ever find it out4 ,but these thoughts brought no comfort with them4 ,the more he thought about the matter1 the more he felt convinced that his act was not a little thing4 ,he knew that it was a sin1 and therefore not a small thing4 ,after praying about the matter1 this suggestion came to him3 8,since you have asked the ,lord to forgive you1 you have done all that is necessary4 ,you need not ask your teacher's forgiveness40 ,he soon saw that he ought not to expect ,god to pardon his sin until he had done what he could to set the matter right with his teacher4 ,he felt now as if the very salvation of his soul depended upon his making this confession4 ,as soon as possible1 after coming to this conclusion1 he went to her and acknowledged his sin4 ,with this acknowledgement came peace4 ,other confessions followed this4 ,some told of similar acts of dishonesty1 which they had committed4 ,all who spoke expressed a sincere determination to do better for the future4 ,we felt as if these confessions had cleared the moral atmosphere and made it possible for more effectual work to be done for those who did not profess to be ,christians4 ,among the number recently converted is a middle-aged woman from the neighborhood4 ,for at least thirteen years she has fully realized that she ought to lead a better life1 but has been so much under the influence of old superstitions and ignorant associates1 who told her that she could not be called a ,christian until she would say that she had seen all sorts of impossible visions and had numerous strange experiences1 that she has hardly known which way to turn4 ,now she has come out from under her yoke of bondage and feels as if she had seen a great light1 a much clearer and better one than that for which she watched so many years4 ,we are hoping and praying that the good1 work which has been begun here may continue3 that those who have started in the right way may have strength of character enough to keep in it1 even when the prospect looks dark and they do not feel so full of enthusiasm as now4 ,miss ,f4 ,j4 ,webster4 ,a ,,summer ,,shower4 ,it fell out of a clear sky1 without foretokening of cloud or of electric display4 ,it was at ,chattanooga1 in ,pastor ,joseph ,e4 ,smith's church4 ,at the regular ,wednesday evening prayer meeting a young man announces that he has made up his mind to turn and live a ,christian life4 ,good ,deacon ,morford asks of the pastor3 8,how would it do to have a meeting to-morrow night80 ,it is appointed4 ,two or three more at that time come out on the ,lord's side4 ,then a meeting every night is agreed upon1 with a sermon from the pastor2 and every night souls are hopefully born again4 ,the series continues two weeks4 ,for the last few days ,pastor ,penney and ,superintendent ,roy drop in to help glean a little4 ,over two-score souls are numbered among the believers4 ,forty are examined and approved by vote for membership in the church4 ,but there was some preliminary work after all4 ,the lady missionary1 ,mrs4 ,almira ,s4 ,steele1 of ,revere1 ,mass41 who is sustained by the ladies of the ,congregational churches of ,chelsea1 besides her general service1 has had a ,friday afternoon sociable for the women1 which not only worked as a preparation but was used all through the revival with marked spiritual results4 ,so her service in the ,sunday-school1 with the handling of the review intrusted to her1 had borne upon the happy issue1 and all the people1 who are delighted with their lady assistant1 trace the work back in part to her influence4 ,the pastor1 who had become almost discouraged1 becomes a new man4 ,the church is confirmed4 ,this fruitage encourages the patient culturing of the ,sabbath-school4 ,it rewards proper teaching4 ,there was no noise1 no confusion4 ,none of the inquirers were looking for visions and dreams1 for long-drawn agonies1 for 8the power40 ,they were just marched up to the question of immediate submission and trust4 ,this work shows how our little churches that are striving for purity and order and character may be spiritually empowered and built up4 ,,refreshing ,,at ,,macon4 ,it will gratify our friends to know that our ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 mission in ,macon has been spiritually refreshed4 ,there was a growing religious interest among the children of our day-school and ,sunday-school1 and early in ,february we were enabled to secure the aid of ,rev4 ,e4 ,e4 ,rogers1 of ,orange1 ,conn4 ,the neighborhood prayer-meetings and house-to-house visitation by day were followed by powerfully impressive meetings at night4 ,the work spread remarkably among the children1 many of whom have started out in the new life4 ,for more than three weeks the scholars of our ,lewis ,high ,school would voluntarily leave their play and spend the whole half-hour of noon recess in prayer and religious instruction at the parlor of the ,mission ,home to the number of sixty and upward4 ,at one memorable pray-meeting in the school-house there were twelve or fifteen of the students who gave their hearts to ,god4 ,it was a ,pentecostal season1 a time of great rejoicing to the faithful teachers who had so long prayed for their pupils4 ,the clear1 decided testimony of one bright little ,sunday-school boy1 eight years of age1 who was converted in one of the ,sunday-school prayer-meetings1 would put to shame the half-way1 timid professions of some older people4 8,out of the mouth of babes and sucklings ,thou hast perfected praise40 ,sixteen members of our ,sunday-school have joined our 7,congregational7 church4 ,twenty-two in all have united1 of whom eight are heads of families1 while eight or ten of the students have joined other churches1 where their families are connected4 ,the daily meetings continued for six weeks1 with the efficient help of ,rev4 ,d4 ,sherrell1 of ,savannah1 for a few days1 after ,brother ,rogers' departure4 ,,good ,,harvest4 ,the religious interest in ,atlanta ,university1 which was reported to you some time since1 has continued for five weeks without any abatement1 and a good harvest has already been gathered4 ,the meetings have been well attended1 in spite of some sickness and bad weather1 and have been marked by an earnest attention to the truth and a fervent spirit of prayer4 ,we have good reason to believe that many more than a score of souls have chosen the service of ,christ1 and they show a tenderness of devotion and a carefulness of demeanor which promise well for their stability4 ,scarcely one is left among those who made their home here who has not been deeply affected1 and who has not taken some steps in advance4 ,we do not expect any reaction or falling away from the uplift which the whole school seems to have experienced4 ,,increase ,,in ,,prayer ,,meetings4 ,the prayer meetings at ,hampton are well sustained1 and the religious feeling in the school is good4 ,there has been a marked increase in our prayer meetings this year4 ,we often have #bjj in our ,sunday morning meeting conducted by the students1 where last year there were only thirty or forty4 ,we have kept up two ,indian meetings during the week1 in which a verse of the ,bible is read in ,english by one of the students1 then by all who can read ,english in concert1 then by one in ,dakota4 ,then it is explained4 ,after trying several ways1 this seemed to be the most satisfactory4 ,prayers are offered in ,dakota1 in ,arizona and in ,english by the students4 ,a meeting is kept up by the ,english-speaking students among themselves in order to fit them to take part when they go back to their homes4 ,,paris1 ,,texas4 ,we are in the midst of a special work of grace4 ,nineteen have given evidence of having been born by the ,holy ,spirit4 ,they all have been added to our church4 ,besides these1 one came by letter from another denomination4 ,others are anxiously inquiring the way of life4 ,all these converts1 with two exceptions1 are from the ,sunday ,school4 ,among these 8new-born babes0 one is the wife of a minister and one is the wife of a deacon4 ,the two oldest children of the pastor are among those that professed a hope in ,christ4 ,m',,intosh1 ,,liberty ,,co41 ,,ga4 ,last ,sabbath was a 8high day0 with us4 ,we have been holding extra meetings about four weeks4 ,the result was the conversion of about fourteen persons1 among whom were several of our most promising scholars4 ,our communion season came off last ,sabbath1 when nine of these converts came to unite with us4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,our ,,youngest----,,the ,,tillotson4 ,the ,austin branch of the ,texas ,central1 a few miles below the capital1 falls into the valley of the ,colorado4 ,as you run up that lovely vale1 you soon see on the right1 just out of the city1 the ,tillotson1 a five-story stone and brick edifice1 crowning a ground swell that overlooks the river and town4 ,its neat fence and the grounds graded by nature are attractive4 ,as we roll up the valley1 ,i see a fine carriage standing at the door2 and this1 as ,i come up to the place1 ,i find to be the turnout of ,gov4 ,pease1 who has brought his family up to visit the institute and to call upon the family of teachers4 ,an original ,connecticut man1 #cj years a resident of ,texas1 her ,governor for a term1 during which a fund of #b1jjj1jjj was set apart for public schools1 and now a trustee of the ,tillotson1 his interest and influence are worth much to such an institution at the ,south4 ,but1 so soon1 the house is full to overflowing1 in its assembly-rooms1 in its dining-hall and in its dormitories4 ,so that already the call is for another building4 ,i find #adj scholars1 of whom #fe are boarders4 ,i find enthusiasm and spring in these freshly gathered students4 ,in this ,state the colored people are getting land faster than in any other3 partly1 for the reason that1 from the beginning1 there was here the least opposition to their doing so2 and1 partly1 from the fact that ,texas is a new and largely a ,western ,state2 and so1 these more well-to-do parents are ready to avail themselves of the advantage of such a school4 ,the father of one of these young men was a slave1 but now owns #ejj acres of land1 on which he has paid #f1jjj of the #g1jjj purchase money4 ,the ,president1 ,rev4 ,w4 ,e4 ,brooks1 who left his pastorate in ,west ,haven1 ,conn41 to take this position1 is supported by ,prof4 ,j4 ,j4 ,anderson1 a graduate of ,beloit ,college1 with a dozen years of experience1 and by ,misses ,hunt and ,topping1 graduates of ,olivet1 who are born teachers and disciplinarians4 ,the ,president1 besides teaching several classes1 preaches on the ,sabbath in the chapel1 and also conducts a ,sunday-school4 ,he is welcomed to the pulpits of the city1 and is on the friendliest terms with the first citizens4 ,rev4 ,dr4 ,e4 ,b4 ,wright1 pastor of the ,northern ,presbyterian ,church1 is one of the trustees1 and is greatly attentive to the interests of the ,institute4 ,mrs4 ,brooks1 an accomplished pianist1 has twenty-eight colored pupils in piano music1 which shows the zest for cultivation4 ,once a week a lecture is delivered before the students by teachers or prominent citizens4 ,the wife of ,judge ,garland1 who has had an ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 school in ,austin for fifteen years1 continues in a primary school near at hand2 and the ,judge himself1 for the present stress1 is volunteering a half-a-day of teaching for a month4 ,a ,new ,hampshire schoolmaster1 he became a lawyer1 then a judge in ,texas1 under appointment of ,gov4 ,davis4 ,a grand future is apparent for the ,tillotson in this ,empire of a ,commonwealth4 ,the only question is whether it can keep up with its opportunity and its demand4 ,it gives us no time to rest4 ,no sooner is it opened than it calls for more room4 ,the growing brain makes room for itself1 and so must this educational enterprise4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,alabama4 ,,teachers' ,,institute ,,at ,,talladega4 ,president1 ,henry ,s4 ,de,forest4 ,of late it has been the custom to end the spring term at ,talladega ,college with a teachers' institute1 giving special training to those who are so soon to go out and teach4 ,the one just held at the last of ,march has been very pleasant and helpful4 ,prof4 ,a4 ,j4 ,steele1 of the ,le ,moyne ,institute1 ,memphis1 ,tenn41 was present1 bearing a large part in its instruction1 and giving it the choicest fruits of his own training and experience4 ,the ,hon4 ,h4 ,clay ,armstrong1 ,state ,superintendent of ,education1 had a place on the programme1 and ,rev4 ,daniel ,duncan1 the ,county ,superintendent1 was present at every session from beginning to end4 ,three years ago1 at the beginning of the series1 he said1 that was 8the first institute ever held in ,talladega ,county1 from the creation of the world40 ,this one1 especially1 roused all his enthusiasm1 and again and again he gave his testimony to the good that was effected4 ,the need of such institutes and of the steady1 persistent work of a college to train teachers and preachers is most apparent1 when it is considered that probably not more than one in ten of the blacks1 in a ,state where they make about half of the population1 can read so as to make the sense1 and half of the voters of all colors are unable to read either ,god's ,law or the amendments to the ,constitution4 ,some are teaching who have never been at school themselves4 ,school-houses are few1 and often without floor1 or window1 or fireplace2 desks and school-books are scarce2 the school-year averages only #fg days1 and the appropriation per capita for the year is #ig cents4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,georgia4 ,,hon4 ,,william ,e4 ,,dodge ,,and ,,atlanta ,,university4 ,mrs4 ,t4 ,n4 ,chase4 ,some of you doubtless remember seeing a recent account of a very cordial welcome given ,gov4 ,colquitt1 of ,georgia1 at a handsome reception in the home of ,hon4 ,william ,e4 ,dodge1 of ,new ,york4 ,the courtesy was soon reciprocated1 and a few days ago the ,atlanta ,constitution----a democratic daily which stands at the head of ,southern journals----announced the expected arrival of ,mr4 and ,mrs4 ,dodge in ,atlanta4 ,this good man and his noble wife have made frequent trips to ,georgia and ,florida during the past ten years1 always stopping to say a cheering word to ,atlanta ,university and shake hands with two or three needy students1 who each year for all this time have been supported by the generosity of these good people4 ,to-day they visited the school1 accompanied by ,mrs4 ,gov4 ,colquitt and one of her lady friends4 ,mr4 ,dodge said he remembered well the first time he addressed the students4 ,he wondered how many had a purpose to go out and gather forty and fifty about them to do for those in the dark places what had been done for them by their teachers on this hill4 ,he begged them to remember that unless they sought first the kingdom of ,heaven and its righteousness all other knowledge would be vain4 ,he said he must add a word about temperance1 in which he knew they were so much interested4 ,he could not believe any before him would ever reel through the streets a staggering drunkard1 but their only safety lay in total abstinence4 ,his words were so instructive and his benign face so inspiring that the very instant he took his seat the entire school burst spontaneously into the plantation melody3 8,do you think ,i'll make a soldier80 ,i might as easily describe an exquisite fragrance as these choruses of young voices from our #bej students1 especially when singing this 8spiritual10 whose words so touchingly portray the mingled hopes and fears of those deep1 emotional natures4 ,but1 when in verses second and third they triumphantly sing3 8,we are climbing ,jacob's ladder1 ,every round goes higher1 higher10 our hopes with theirs conquer our fears1 and we sympathize with ,mrs4 ,colquitt when she remarks3 8,i feel like making a speech to the school myself40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,atlanta ,,teacher ,,at ,,macon4 ,miss ,julia ,a4 ,goodwin4 ,everything here is new to us1 and we enjoy the country-like city in its irregularity1 broad streets1 steep ascents and descents1 its profusion of flowers1 especially its roses4 ,then it is a real pleasure to compare the workings of the school and church with our own4 ,we think we could not accomplish what these teachers do who are obliged to teach some of the time----two of them in one room1 each conducting a recitation at one and the same time2 but they work admirably together1 without a particle of friction1 and are a very happy family4 ,mrs4 ,lathrop's sewing-school is also very interesting4 ,as we walked into the room last ,saturday morning1 two old ladies1 who were sewing just as busily as the children1 arose from their seats and came across the room to greet us4 ,one of them1 whose sprightly manner and unwrinkled face would never have betokened her great age1 said to us3 8,i am ninety-two years old if ,i live till ,monday4 ,i can't do much1 my hands are so stiff2 but ,i thank the ,lord that ,i can come here and sew a little20 and she showed us her patch-work squares with as evident satisfaction as any of the younger pupils4 ,ninety-two years old and learning to sew6 ,ah1 thought ,i1 most old ladies are through with their needle at that age4 ,these sewing-schools must bring some comfort into many homes4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,africa4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,mr4 ,,ladd',s ,,journal4 ,saturday1 ,dec4 #c4----,we started from ,assiout at five o'clock this morning on our voyage up the ,nile4 ,the air to-day has been wonderfully fine4 ,the landscape1 too1 has presented a constantly varying panorama full of novelty1 full of interest1 full of beauty4 ,we have called for a few moments at a number of villages to leave the mail4 ,we have been peering through our glasses1 as we sat under the awning on deck1 at the natives along the banks in their varied costumes1 and in almost no costume at all1 at the high bluffs1 which in some places rise abruptly from the river1 and at the wonderful tombs with their hieroglyphic inscriptions cut out high up in the rocks4 ,the river is full of boats of one kind or another coming and going4 ,sunday1 ,dec4 #d4----,one misfortune of travel on the ,nile is that any discussion of the weather becomes monotonous and trite4 ,every day is like every other day1 beautiful1 bright and balmy4 ,no church bells ring for us to-day1 so our thoughts naturally turn homeward4 ,the views1 as we slowly steam up the river are charming4 ,we pass some bold headlands1 call1 as yesterday1 at many villages by the way1 and witness many interesting and peculiar scenes4 ,a fringe of 8shadoofs10 with half naked men hard at work at them watering the crops1 keep up a constant creaking4 ,we notice also great numbers of birds of every size and shape4 ,we tie up for the night at ,keneh1 celebrated for its porous jugs1 its dates1 and once on a time1 its dancing girls1 whom the march of civilization has driven higher up the river4 ,monday1 ,dec4 #e4----,we have seen something of what is left of the great city of ,thebes1 its magnificent temples1 its stupendous halls1 its wonderful colossi1 its interesting tombs----,karnak and ,luxor1 on one side1 ,gourna on the other4 ,it is hard to realize what pomp and splendor were once displayed among these ruins1 still so grand in their desolation4 ,the strong current of the river got the best of us to-day4 ,the steamer in rounding a point could not be made to obey her helm1 and before we knew what was going to happen1 with full steam on we ran bunt up against and on to the steep bank4 ,the men pushed and grunted1 and finally we got clear and righted up again4 ,we have witnessed a nearly total eclipse of the moon this evening1 soon after it rose1 which for the manner in which it came on and went off was very remarkable4 ,we could hear the natives in their villages trying to frighten away the dragon which was supposed to be swallowing the moon4 ,we tied up at ,esneh for the night4 ,here we went ashore with torches and lights to visit a portion of a temple1 which is in an excellent state of preservation4 ,i first went to see the ,mudir to get him to telegraph for us to ,korosko for camels4 ,he had retired for the night1 but as our business could not be transacted at any other time1 ,i sent in our orders from ,cairo1 and he soon appeared4 ,coffee was served1 our papers made out1 viz43 ,an order to the governors of places where we might call within his mudirieh to show us proper attention1 and a telegram signed by the ,mudir to provide camels for us at ,korosko4 ,then joining the rest of the party we visited the temple4 ,the top of it is only a little above the successive deposits of ages1 and one has to descend a long flight of steps to reach its floor4 ,it is completely covered with sculptured work1 which is finely preserved4 ,this1 however1 is only the portico of the real temple1 the entrance to which is walled up4 ,illustration3 ,,elephant ,,hunting ,tuesday1 ,dec4 #f4----,our steamer made a long stop at ,edfou to-day1 as is customary1 to let passengers see its splendid temple4 ,this is the most complete1 and the best preserved in ,egypt1 and gives one the best idea of ancient ,egyptian architecture4 ,its massive pylons had long been in sight as we steamed up the river4 ,as soon as the steamer stopped we took donkeys and started toward them through the winding mud-walled streets of the little town4 ,what a temple6 ,a book would fail to do it justice6 ,every inch of it is covered with the most beautiful carving4 ,i have not space nor time to tell of how we climbed the pylons and wandered through the dark mysterious chambers1 and stood in admiration before those beautiful and ever varied pillars1 and explored dark winding passages built in the walls themselves4 ,one has an overwhelming sense of sublimity and awe as he stands under the shadow and in the profound hush of these sacred monuments of a departed glory4 ,we tied up for the night at ,gebel ,silsileh1 a narrow1 rocky passage1 through which the river seems to have burst its way4 ,here we went on shore and with the help of torches examined the tombs and chapels and noted quarries4 ,the perfect silence here was almost painful4 ,there was not even the usual gentle murmur of 8backsheesh40 ,returning to our steamer we took a moonlight row up the river1 and over to the opposite shore4 ,ruins and moonlight1 and a boat ride on the ,nile6 ,could anything be more romantic8 ,here is a picture hung upon the walls of memory never to be forgotten4 ,wednesday1 ,dec4 #g4----,we have run aground twice to-day4 ,we passed the ruins of ,comombo early this morning1 and now we are at ,assouan1 with another stage of our journey accomplished4 ,we have visited the bazaars1 where all sorts of curiosities from ,nubia and the ,soudan are sold1 and had crowds of wild-looking1 long-haired1 grease-smeared and more than half naked desert ,arabs thronging around us1 and have been besieged with strange looking people with stranger looking things to sell1 of which we bought none4 ,in fact1 our novel experiences in and about the town would1 if all told1 be a tale too lengthy for these brief pages4 ,we also visited the island of ,elephantine1 with its ruins of pottery1 human skeletons1 and interesting ,nile meter4 ,ibrahim was dispatched the first thing on our arrival1 to secure a dahabeyeh for us4 ,he has returned1 and reports that he has found one1 such as it is1 which will take us and our baggage from here to ,korosko for #e4 ,we have agreed to take two men1 ,mousa and ,ibrahim ,cohen1 with us to ,khartoum to lighten our expenses4 ,then we have ,mongades1 the ,bible ,society's man with us1 so that we shall really have to pay for the dahabeyeh only about #c4 ,we have been invited to see a 8fantasia10 but our taste not being cultivated in that direction we declined4 ,thursday1 ,dec4 #h4----,some one was sick in the night4 ,thinking it might be the ,doctor ,i jumped out of bed to go to him1 and landed in cold water6 ,the ship had sprung a leak4 ,all the rooms on one side were found to be flooded1 and the engine-room was a pond4 ,the pumps were put to work1 but it was some hours before the water was where it belonged4 ,some things in my room were spoiled4 ,we started early for ,phil1 where our dahabeyeh lay1 at the other end of the cataract4 ,it was five miles1 and we took camels so as to gain a little experience in riding preparatory to the long desert journey4 ,our route lay through the ancient bed of a river4 ,on the way we visited the famous granite quarries1 and saw the huge obelisk left partially cut out of its bed4 ,we all went on board our dahabeyeh for lunch4 ,the stars and stripes had been raised1 and we also ordered up the ,english flag in honor of our guests4 ,after lunch1 while ,ibrahim and ,mourgan were getting our baggage on board1 we1 the party1 took a small boat and rowed out to the interesting island of ,phil4 ,first we rowed around it to get a comprehensive view of its beautiful temples4 ,then we landed1 and examined them all in detail4 ,we also visited the ruins of a little ,christian church1 which an ,american has discovered4 ,friday1 ,dec4 #i4----;,for some reason ,i did not sleep well1 and was up early and over the side of the dahabeyeh for a good swim in the ,nile4 ,a light breeze soon sprang up1 the sail was set1 and at #h4cj ,a4,m4 we were off1 the ,englishmen still in the cataract4 ,we passed an island to the right of ,phil1 stopped for a few moments at a little village where some of our sailors lived and then we were off again1 slowly passing immense granite boulders1 between narrow banks fringed with dom-palms and very black ,nubians1 creeping along pretty fast for the light wind that just fills our big sail4 ,we pass ,debod1 and then towards evening the wind goes down1 and we have to make the bank and tie up4 ,we do not remain here long1 however4 ,our ,reis1 who is a fine fellow1 ever on the alert1 hears a rustling in the trees1 a gale is upon us2 the big sail is quickly flung out1 and we start almost with a bound and strike a rock6 ,the captain reports 8no leak10 and off we go again1 fairly flying before the wind4 ,after a while it dies down and once more we have to make the bank and tie up just this side of ,gebel ,kalabshe4 ,here we go ashore and wander about1 but are quickly recalled by the ,reis4 ,a good steady breeze has followed the lull after the gale1 and off we go4 ,now we enter scenery that in the deep shadows of the moonlight is grand and sublime in the extreme4 ,the granite mountains tower up from the water's edge close to us on either side4 ,there are deep gorges and overhanging cliffs1 and huge boulders around which the pent up river swirls and eddies4 ,i have named this wild spot 8,the ,gates of the ,tropics10 for now we pass the invisible line and enter the tropics4 ,the southern cross is clearly visible in the heavens near the horizon1 and toward it we are flying on the wings of the wind4 ,in the witchery of such an evening1 in such a place1 we sit on deck till long past the midnight hour4 ,saturday1 ,dec4 #aj4----,the captain has been up all night and we have made a good run of it4 ,it is very hot1 and the wind dying down4 ,over we go for a swim4 ,we have passed a rock-temple1 and another very good temple at ,dakkeh4 ,the flies are getting to be a perfect pest4 ,sunday1 ,dec4 #aa4----,the wind is lighter and our progress has been slower4 ,however1 we have gradually drawn away from the grand rocky mountains that rose up abruptly from the water's edge on our left this morning1 and now around us are the volcanic peaks that indicate the vicinity of ,korosko4 ,we reached ,korosko at #d ,p4,m41 having made remarkably good time from ,assouan4 ,we noticed a queer peak just before reaching the town4 ,there is a sacred mountain with a tomb upon it just at the rear of the village4 ,soon after our arrival the governor and various other officials came on board4 ,the old governor was delighted when he found that we could talk together in ,turkish4 ,the usual formality of salaams1 and coffee1 etc41 were duly exchanged4 ,our camels were ready for us4 ,monday1 ,dec1 #ab4----,we had a pleasant visit this morning from a merchant who arrived by caravan during the night from ,darfur4 ,we talked together in ,greek4 ,we have moved our boat higher up stream4 ,have received a number of visits from officials and sore-eyed men4 ,the ,doctor is having quite a practice4 ,we have climbed the road that weary pilgrims tread to the top of the sacred mountain ,gebel ,aboo-,gowenah1 whence we have had a fine1 extensive view of the winding river1 and the billowing ocean of volcanic peaks1 and our own desert route that winds in and out among them4 ,we send off a batch of letters for home1 pack and get ready for our long journey4 ,the bread is all made and properly dried4 ,tuesday1 ,dec1 #ac4----,up about #e ,a4,m41 roused the crowd1 and pushed things as fast as possible4 ,we expected to find the camels waiting on the bank1 but not a living being was in sight4 ,hours went by and nobody appeared2 we sent two men in different directions after the sheik of the camel-drivers1 but he was not6 ,finally patience was exhausted4 ,we went to the ,governor's house to see if we couldn't start things up a little4 ,he was pretending to hold court1 but dismissed the case when he saw us4 ,then it being the proper thing to do we raised a row with ,his ,majesty over our delay4 ,it had the desired effect4 ,the sheik was speedily produced1 and we rode back to the boat on donkeys1 with the whole crowd at our heels4 ,here we soon discovered that the governor1 the sheik1 and every other man in the crowd was determined to have a finger in the pie1 and make us pay double the proper prices for all our camels4 ,we talked and reasoned till #a ,p4,m4 without avail4 ,then we grew righteously indignant4 ,we laid down our terms----refused to listen to another word----gave orders to have everything put back on board the boat if they were not accepted1 and threatened to go on to ,wady ,halfa and denounce the whole crowd of them as miserable rascals4 ,our terms were then accepted1 and they thought a good deal more of us for standing for our rights instead of yielding to their exorbitant demands4 ,part of the money was paid and part held in reserve2 the papers were made out1 the baggage weighed and loaded1 and at #a4cj ,p4,m4 we started out4 ,we went about a mile or two into the desert1 and camped in a rocky ravine1 and here we got everything into good shape1 looked to everything connected with our water supply1 and made ready for the real business of the long desert before us2 and here begins our tent life4 ,wednesday1 ,dec4 #ad4----;,broke camp1 and started the caravan at #h4cj ,a4,m4 ,now for the great desert journey6 ,all the morning we pass peak after peak of a volcanic nature4 ,at #b ,p4,m4 we stopped1 took a hasty bite of lunch in a sort of cave in a mountain called ,elemnasir4 ,then on and on we go1 swaying back and forth on our camels1 and trying to 8bone down0 to the regular business before us4 ,at #e4ae ,p4,m4 we went into camp for the night1 considering it wiser not to make too long a day of the first one1 as camels and men were both fresh1 but to reserve our forces for the great strain toward the last4 ,the spot chosen for our camp is a wild place under the shelter of a volcanic peak called ,diakazarkha4 ,up goes the tent1 all hands taking hold with a will4 ,mourgan starts a fire2 now then1 in the words of the 8old folks'0 song1 8,jerusha1 put the kettle on and we'll all take tea40 ,mourgan produces a marvel of a meal for such a place1 and we fall to at once to do it ample justice4 ,our caravan consists of #ai camels and #ae men4 ,the guide is a strong1 bold fellow1 thoroughly up to his business1 and evidently enjoys commanding his men4 ,the camels get only #b quarts of dourra a day1 carry about #djj lbs4 each1 and are expected to go without water till we reach ,murrat4 ,our water supply is to last us till we reach the ,nile at ,aboo-,hamed1 as the water at ,murrat is not drinkable4 ,how brightly the stars shine out here4 ,the stillness of the desert soon rests upon the camp1 broken only by the occasional growl of a camel1 and the snoring of the men4 ,thursday1 ,dec4 #ae4----,we are all up early1 take a hasty breakfast1 pull down the tent1 load the camels amid a chorus of roars and growls1 and start the whole caravan at #g ,a4,m4 ,more volcanic peaks4 ,the ground is everywhere covered with balls of iron from the size of a large pea to that of a cannon-ball4 ,the iron is so pure that the natives are able to beat these balls into knives1 etc4 ,now we see our first mirage4 ,it is a beautiful lake1 whose surface1 scarcely rippled by the gentle breeze1 clearly reflects a distant mountain range4 ,the illusion is perfect4 ,we lunch in a cave in a place called ,gamoor4 ,we have met one caravan of cattle and another of two or three hundred camels4 ,our guide stopped to camp about five o'clock1 thinking probably that we were exhausted by this time4 ,he looked surprised but pleased when we protested1 and informed him that we intended to make forced marches of at least twelve hours every day4 ,on and on we went into the darkness1 for it is dark at five4 ,at #g4aj we halted and pitched our camp in a portion of the desert called ,nasbelhedoriah4 ,before we arrived in camp there was a commotion4 ,what's the matter8 ,nothing1 only the cook has fallen asleep and rolled off from his camel6 ,but the shining1 round face comes up with a grin1 8,all right1 kutter herak kattir40 ,we are not half way to ,murrat yet1 and the water in our 8bootleg0 bottles and skins is as black as ink4 ,a whole week more before we reach the river6 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,chinese4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,statistics ,,for ,,february4 ,figures may be dry1 and yet ,i am sure that a summary of those contained in the ,february reports from our schools cannot but interest and gratify all friends of our work4 ,no less than #aaf new pupils were enrolled in our schools during that month4 ,change of location or other causes produced the removal from the schools of #ii4 ,but the total number enrolled1 #gbf1 is the largest total ever reached1 and the average attendance1 #ced1 is also larger than ever before4 ,among the pupils thus enrolled are #aai who give evidence of ,christian life4 ,the total number who have become members of our schools during the fiscal year1 thus far 7i4e41 from ,sept4 #ast to ,feb4 #bhth7 is #a1cge4 ,,the ,,chinese ,,new ,,year4 ,in the month of ,february occurs the ,chinese ,new ,year ,festival----the great holiday period for them of the entire twelvemonth4 ,at my request1 our teachers have given me some account of the way in which it was observed by our ,christian ,chinese in their respective localities4 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,ostrom1 of ,oroville1 who has served as a missionary in ,china and whose heart is still there1 states the following 8general facts03 8,their preparation for the ,new ,year is commenced weeks before the close of the old4 ,one of the first things is to plant the ,narcissus----a water lily called by the ,chinese #8the water angel flower'----so that it may be in bloom on ,new ,year's ,day4 ,a beautiful legend connected with this flower is everywhere told and believed in ,china4 ,in a certain district of the ,fo ,kien province lived a man who had two wives and a son by each wife4 ,the man died1 leaving a farm1 which the elder brother seized1 allowing to the younger brother only a small1 marshy corner1 through which ran a sluggish stream4 ,these lilies were found growing in the stream----all that the marsh and stream produced4 ,the gentler younger brother1 loving the beautiful flower1 cultivated it1 and found that it would always bloom on the ,new ,year4 ,its beauty and fragrance won the admiration of many and the demand for the bulbs increased till finally it came in from all parts of ,china1 and the wealth of the owner of the little stream and marsh soon surpassed that of the avaricious elder brother4 ,then1 through some pretence1 the latter took possession of the little stream and marsh1 expecting thus to grasp the revenue from the sale of the lilies4 ,but1 lo6 when ,new ,year came1 they refused to bloom4 ,conscience-stricken by this apparent rebuke of the gods1 the marsh and the stream were surrendered to their rightful owner1 and then1 strange to say1 the lilies bloomed forth as before4 8,such is the legend2 now for plain facts4 ,at the close of the year the house is cleaned1 and dressed on its posts and walls with new red paper containing good words from the sages4 ,on the last day of the old year1 every family worships the ancestral tablet1 and the idols1 with offerings of slain birds and other animals1 with vegetable delicacies added4 ,eight kinds of meat are offered to the ancestral tablets1 and only fish1 pork and chicken to the idols4 ,fruit1 and a pudding cooked in boiling lard are also used as offerings4 ,these furnish the feasts for the following day2 for the spirits only inhale the perfume1 leaving the substance for base mortals4 8,on the last day of the old year1 the married daughters must be at their husbands' homes1 and must not revisit the paternal roof till the ,new ,year's festival is over4 ,the devotee rising very early on ,new ,year's morning1 worships1 first of all1 the ancestors1 burning incense1 and red paper representing money1 before the tablet1 on each side of which candles have been lighted1 and before which the offerings have been placed4 ,then the idols of the household are worshipped1 and1 next1 those of the temple4 ,fire-crackers are snapped by the priests in the temple1 and by all the people at their homes and their places of business4 ,if any one has married1 or is successful in gambling or in business1 he expresses his gratitude by these explosives4 ,breakfast comes next1 composed of vegetables only1 for no blood must be shed or be used on ,new ,year's ,day4 ,liquor distilled from rice is sipped from tiny cups4 ,now1 calling and the exchange of cards follow4 ,only good words are to be spoken4 ,it is a violation of etiquette1 established by the custom of ages1 to speak evil of1 or to1 any one during the first ten days of the ,new ,year40 ,such of these usages as are purely social are retained by our ,christian ,chinese3 ,the house-cleaning which brings to our several mission houses a thorough renovation2 the trimming upon the walls and elsewhere with evergreen wreaths1 with bouquets of artificial flowers and other samples of ,chinese art2 the cultivation of the fragrant ,narcissus1 and the interchange of calls and cards and mutual good wishes2 the treating with candies1 fruits1 and tiny cups of tea----guiltless of the ,american concomitants of sugar and cream----all these you will find our ,christian ,chinese carrying forward with no less zest than their heathen countrymen4 ,in these cases1 this year1 they invited the teacher with the whole family to which she belonged1 to a banquet after the ,chinese style2 and in all cases the teachers seem to have been remembered with gifts selected often with exquisite taste and purchased at a considerable cost4 ,but with our ,christian ,chinese these days are holy days rather than holidays4 ,the week is a week of prayer4 ,in all their sociality their religion is remembered and their ,saviour is recognized4 ,if on their special reception-day1 a minister is among the first to call1 he will be likely to be asked to open the day's enjoyment with prayer4 ,every day there are special religious services2 and connected with these1 fresh resolves of consecration to ,christ and fresh and earnest intercessions for each other and for their still benighted countrymen4 ,one such meeting ,i attended by appointment at the home of our ,oakland brethren4 ,i remained with them an hour and a half4 ,the school there had been in an unsatisfactory condition2 running down in attendance and in spiritual power1 while the schools in this city and at most other points were advancing in both respects4 ,we looked the facts in the face2 prayed over them2 and then took counsel together4 ,the result was a unanimous determination to take up missionary work among their countrymen with more earnestness and more system than ever before1 and with ,god's help to make their school as large and as efficient for good as possible4 ,illustration3 ,,japanese ,,pleasure ,,party4 ,perhaps the account given by ,mrs4 ,carrington1 of the services at ,sacramento1 presents the week's work as fairly as any4 8,a watch meeting closed the old year and opened the new4 ,on ,saturday evening there was a union meeting at the ,presbyterian ,mission ,house4 ,on ,wednesday evening a ,new ,year's banquet was given at our ,mission ,house4 ,rev4 ,dr4 ,dwinell and ,mrs4 ,dwinell1 with the superintendent and teachers in the ,chinese ,sunday-school and other friends1 were present4 ,other evenings were spent in less formal but more social worship1 and on ,saturday evening1 ,february #be1 a crowning union service was held at our ,mission ,house4 ,the room was filled to overflowing4 ,twenty or more of the ,american friends were present1 and much interest was manifested4 ,and so this ,new ,year's festival was closed40 ,as between the hurried and meaningless ,new ,year's calls1 with the accessories of unwholesome food in gluttonous quantities1 washed down by poisonous wines and fiery liquors1 which the old ,knickerbocker custom has entailed upon ,americans1 and these festivities of our ,christian ,chinese1 it does not take me long to judge which ought to be preferred4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,grasshopper ,,teacher4 ,by ,m4 ,k4 ,smith4 ,atlanta ,university1 ,ga4 ,a young lad who had found his way from the ,west coast of ,africa to ,atlanta ,university entered my class in entomology last ,october4 ,shortly after1 when naming the teachers under whose instructions he came daily1 he quaintly designated me as his 8grasshopper teacher40 ,in order to give some idea of the amount of enthusiasm the common grasshopper is capable of rousing in the mind of the average colored student1 it may be interesting to give a brief explanation of the method of study pursued4 ,the pupils had no particular love for the troublesome insect2 in fact1 they had hitherto entertained for him a sentiment the reverse of friendly1 and when ,i gave each student a pin upon which a grasshopper 7it had been killed by immersion in alcohol7 was transfixed1 a dissatisfied giggle or a contemptuous sniff from each gave evidence that the little world of the class-room was decidedly out of sympathy with the existing state of affairs4 ,the ,african boy refused to touch a 8specimen10 and regarded me with an expression in which surprise1 fear and defiance were blended4 ,the fear was doubtless the result of experience with poisonous insects in his fatherland1 while the surprise was that a grasshopper should usurp the place of a book1 for which the savage has all the superstitious reverence which characterizes the civilized student1 and the defiance probably arose from a resolution that no earthly power should induce him to touch the strange animal4 ,i did not urge him1 but quickly called attention to the insect in hand4 ,without much difficulty they found the principal parts1 to which ,i gave the names1 head1 thorax and abdomen4 ,by the time these words were written on the board the class was pacified1 for the colored student loves new words whose significations are beyond his comprehension just as well as his white brother4 ,when the shape of the head was considered the students realized for the first time the lack of words which is so general among these people4 8,it's like a horse's head10 broke forth a boy1 impetuously1 while a hum of approval ran along the forms4 ,i accepted the resemblance1 and asked them to observe other things in connection with the head1 and very soon the eyes were mentioned4 ,i drew on the board a diagram of hexagonal cells1 closely connected1 and explained that the compound eye of the grasshopper is composed of facets of similar form and each having power of sight4 8,why1 he is better off than we are10 exclaimed a wondering youth4 8,we have only two eyes apiece1 while he has thousands of 'em4 ,what's that for80 8,god made him that way10 returned another1 as he handled his 8specimen0 a little more gently1 while the ,african boy leaned over to get a good look at those queer eyes that were even nicer than his own4 ,i then called attention to the position of the eyes on the head and secured the statement that by their being placed just as they are the insect can see before1 behind and on both sides at the same time4 ,in a moment more than a dozen hands were waving wildly in the air1 while two excited youths came to their feet as suddenly as if they had been moved after the manner of a 8,jack in the box40 8,i know1 ,i know10 shouted one1 8they are there so that he can see danger all round him4 ,many a time ,i've tried to catch him1 and ,i would steal up behind him and ease my hand up soft1 soft 7the boy illustrated the action7 and then just when ,i thought ,i had him1 he was off60 and the lad's hands were outspread to imitate the sudden movement of the insect4 ,i directed attention to the place where the head joins the thorax4 8,he's got a collar on10 shouted one4 8,what is that for80 8,to cover the seam nicely1 and keep it from harm10 answered another1 before ,i had time to speak1 8and it's made mighty pretty1 too10 he continued1 admiringly4 8,i should like to know what this means80 exclaimed another1 who had extended his investigations1 and now held up to the astonished gazers the under wings1 spread out as they had never before seen them4 ,i wish1 dear reader1 you could have been with us that day1 to have felt with me the delight of those people1 who for almost the first time were using their eyes as ,i think ,god intended they should be used----to give light to the understanding4 8,just like a thin lady's gray veil10 suggested a little girl1 as soon as she found a chance to speak1 whereupon a quizzical laugh arose1 until she explained that the veil was thin1 and not the lady4 ,the ,african boy at the very next lesson held out his hand for a 8specimen10 and throughout the term was as much interested as the others1 striving with all his might to announce his discoveries in correct ,english4 ,the grasshopper became popular4 ,we studied him for more than two weeks and then felt we were only beginning his acquaintance4 ,the students spent their leisure in watching grasshoppers eat1 in studying their habits and in finding out their uses4 ,the lessons went on with an eagerness that made the 8grasshopper teacher0 fear that something must be wrong1 for it seemed against all law and order that teacher and taught should have such an uninterruptedly good time4 ,the pleasure was ever new1 while1 side by side with the development of power to think and reason1 grew a sense of ,god's care over and nearness to his creatures4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,receipts ,,for ,,march1 #ahhb4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,maine1 #caa4de4 ,bangor4
