An ipoNtollt ftu KIm.f,
The Southern negroes, in their horror of Ku Klux mysteries, are particularly fearful of graveyards. They have always been superstitious in this regard, but now they will not go within a mile of a cemetery. An amusing story is told of Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia, who had occasion some time ago, to visit a remote por tion of his diocese.
There were not many Episcopa lians in that region of Georgia but few of the whites had ever seen a successor of the Apostles, and the negroes did not know what sort of a creature a Bishop was. It soon became noised about that on a certain evening the Bishop would arrive and hold services in a church in a certain village of the above district, and the whole neighborhood was filled with curiosity to go and see the strange animal that read prayers out of a book. The negroes were especially excited, and they determined to attend the church in mass. The house of worship was not an Episcopal church consequently it had no vestry room in "which the Bishop could put on his vestments. This difficulty was, however, remedied by some one's suggesting that the Bishop should robe himself behind the church, and come around and enter at the front door. So he sent a friend with his surplice, who placed it behind a tombstone, where it would be at hand when he should require it. Long before the time designated for the opening services the little church became filled with the whites of the vicinity, and the negroes, finding that there was no room for them inside, stood packed before the door. The Bishop, at the appointed time, entered the graveyard by the back gate, went up to the tombstone and donned his episcopal vestures.* The wind was blowing rather fresh, and just as he turned the corner of the church a flaw spread out his white robes. A negro immediately bawled out Ku Klux! IvuKlux! They all looked around and beheld the flaunting white garments approaching, the whole crowd took to their heels, shrieking Ku Klux! In ten seconds not a darkie could be seen, but the sound of their footsteps in the distance fell upon the ear, and for half an hour afterwards could be heard the terrible words Ku Klux! far off in the country as the affrighted crowd were making for their homes.
Advice to a Bride.
Zchokke, in one of his tales, gives the following advice to a bride: In the first solitary hour after the ceremony, take the bridegroom and demand a solemn vow of him, and give him one in return. Promise each other sacredly, never, nor in jest, to wrangle with each other—nevex* to bandy words or to indulge in the least ill-humor. Never—I say—never! Wrangling in jest, and putting on an air of ill-humor merely to tease, becomes earnest by practice. Mark that! Next promise each other sincerely and solemnly, never to keep a secret from each other, under whatever pretext, and whatever excuse it may be. You must continually and every moment see clearly into each other's bosom. Even when one of you has committed a fault, wait not an instant, but confess it freely. Let it cost tears, bnt confess it. And as you keep secret nothing from each other, so on the contrary, preserve the privacies of your own house, marriage state, and heart, from lather, mother, sister, brother, aunt, and all the world. You two with God's help build your own quiet world. Every third or fourth one you draw into it will form a party, and stand between vou two, that should never be. Promise this to each other. Remember the vow at each temptation. You will
