A PASSAGE AT ARMS.--White children whose parents are laboring in colored
schools are sometimes taunted by the unkind remarks of ill-mannered youth
with whom they come in contact. For example, the little daughter of one of
our teachers was told, "Your papa teaches niggers." The reply came quick
as a flash: "Well, your papa sells them whiskey, and that is worse."
Another threatened to beat her at recess. She promptly said: "You can’t do
it. My grandpa beat yours in the war."
A SUBSCRIPTION LIST.
BY A GEORGIA TEACHER.
I inclose something I thought might interest you. The idea of circulating
the paper originated with the girls and the money was nearly all raised
without our knowledge. We added enough to buy a serviceable pair of shoes.
The poor girl to whom they were given was almost barefooted and stayed at
home Saturday afternoon when the others went for their walk. The
thoughtfulness and generosity of the girls touched us, for what they gave
was to most of them a real sacrifice.
THE APPEAL OF THE GIRLS.
"While sitting in church to-day my heart was made to feel sad as I sat by
one of the girls. I noticed that she was almost barefooted and has been
for quite a while. Miss C. and I, feeling ourselves unable to purchase a
pair of shoes, concluded we would ask all who will help us to please
assist us, not for our sake, but for the Lord’s sake.
"Miss E. H., 5 cts., pd.; Miss C. D., 15 cts., pd.; Miss C. M., 1 ct.,
pd.; Miss A. G., 5 cts., pd.; Miss M. G., 10 cts.; Miss H. G., 5 cts.,
pd.; Miss R. W., 5 cts., pd.; Miss M. D. G., 5 cts., pd.; Miss L. B., 5
cts., pd.; Miss A. S., 5 cts., pd.; Miss L. B., 5 cts., pd.; Miss S. L.; 5
cts., pd.; Miss G., 15 cts."
THE SOUTH.
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
BY SECRETARY WOODBURY.
The Carolinas comprise a territory of eighty-two thousand square miles, a
little more than the combined territory of New York and all New England,
excepting Maine. North Carolina has a population of about a million white
and half a million colored people; while of the million inhabitants of
South Carolina a large majority are colored. In the two States there are a
million and a quarter of colored people.
