A colored youth lay on a cot in the baggage room too sick to speak. He was put on the south-bound train at Selma early in the morning by some "outsider," as a telegram from the agent there states. The lad has typhoid fever. The 6trangest part of it. is that no one seems to know him, neither here or in Selma. Dr. James McKee was sent for, who proceeded to try to revive him with cold baths and such treatment as was necessary.

Dear Drother : I was so deeply touch ed by your lecture on Foreign Missions the other night at Clinton, that my mind cannot find rest. On Saturday morning when I arose I found my face bathed in tears and my mind deeply fixed on Africa; notwithstanding I feel that there is a is a great work at home to do and a great mission that I ought to help carry on, I am deeply interested in home wcrk and desire to help spread the Home Mission cause. But there is one thing I ask, and you may enroll my name on your Foreign Mission Board as a Missionary to Africa. I will go as a Missionary to Africa and spend four or five years, if the Lord so permit. I send you twenty-five cents to put my name on the roll of honor, I did not have enough at Clinton to do so ; this will make forty-five cents. I am already a subscriber for the Quarterly. Nery truly yours in Christ, J. T. Kerr. An "Excelsior" Joke. Angelica "Mother, may I go on the picnic to Rand's mills, Thursday?" Irate Mother " No, you shall not."

Greensboro Record. Deaths. Ctjyler We chronicle with sorrow the death of Mrs. Augusta E. Cuyler, who ?as:ed away April 20th in Fayette ville. he deceased had been confined to her room only a short time. She was a most excellent and popular Christian lady and had numerous friends, both in Fayette ville arid Wilmington,' who were grieved to learn of her untimely death. She leaves a loving husband, now pastor of St. Luke's A. M. E. Zion Church, and three lovely little children, the youngest of whom eoon followed its mother in death. .Rev. Cuyler and children have the sincere sympathy of many friends. By her death not only the church has lost a faithful member, but a loving family, husband, children, and relatives are left to mourn their loss. Sad , indeed, though from what we learned of her, she seemed fully ripe for an entrance into the rich ness of her reward. The loving wife, the tender, watchful mother, has left an aching void in the hearts of the objects of her love that only the blessed thought that she is with her Saviour, and they shall be reunited to her, can fill.
