We greatly enjoy our situation and work in this place. The weather is charming. We should call it the perfection of our early autumn weather,--just cool enough for comfort with a nice fire in the grate, but bright and balmy through the day, making the shady side of the street preferable at mid-day. The frost has killed the elm and mulberry leaves, but the magnolia, mock orange and fig leaves are green as ever, and the hawthorn hedges and roses make the door-yards look almost like June. Their geraniums they are protecting with temporary board coverings, letting them remain out all winter. Our Mission Home is a large and commodious mansion built by a slave-holder, whose fortunes went down with the lost cause, and it was purchased by the American Missionary Association. Our school, near by, has a building which compares favorably with some of the Chicago school-houses, two stories and a good basement, the whole accommodating from 300 to 400 pupils, with three noble white teachers and three colored, who have graduated from this school. I have just visited the school, and was greatly delighted. It is no disparagement to your excellent schools to say that, in point of order and apparent earnestness and successful work on the part of both teachers and pupils, these dusky boys and girls would not suffer in comparison. Our church here is a neat, pleasant, wooden building, and our congregation appear fully to appreciate a preacher's best efforts. Their singing is, like ours, led by a good organist. Their prayer meetings are quiet and social, and very enjoyable. Our Sunday-school is flourishing, under a colored man for superintendent, who is teaching in the country. I enjoy my work, and hope to have a profitable winter. * * * * * TENNESSEE. Le Moyne Library--Sunday-school Work. MISS LAURA A. PARMELEE, MEMPHIS. There has been some work and much time spent upon the library in labeling and cataloguing the two hundred and thirty new volumes, and arranging the whole five hundred in classes. We have nineteen popular books of science; twenty-five bright records of travel; forty-seven good histories, essays, stories, &c., of genuine worth. Many of them are already in circulation. I am confident this must gather to our support the best elements in the colored community. Some of the public school-teachers have spoken to Mr. Steele about reciting to him at night. They say they wish to review the lower branches. The arrangements have not been perfected. And a request has come that a class be formed in theology, for the benefit of young men who are obliged to work, but wish to fit themselves for preaching.
