There's a divinity tirat Shapes our ends rough - Hew them as we will. The distinguished writer, .lames Frreman Clarke has written the following parable of "A Little Boy Who, Was Looking for .lesus,'' which is wjirthy a place in all hearts. There is a pathos and sim plicity als.ut it which makes it read like a Bible story and im presses itself on every mind anil heart. El.j There was once a little boy who read in his Testament the stories about Jesus: and as little children think that everything they read is near by, he supposed that .Jesus and his disciples were living near by. in the same town or the next, and he thought lie woujd like, to go and find Jesus, and ask him wheth er he might not stay with hiin awhile, and be one of his scholars. So one morning he' got up early and set out on his journey before any one else was up. He left a lit tle' note on the table, for his father .,ii j and mother, which was this: ni.le ' Dear Papa and Mamma : 1 am going to find Jesus. 1 wish to be I one Ol U1S UlCIIie, H iui ifin ami James and John. I am very Mttle, but I can do something. 1 can bring him water when he is thirsty, and wash his feet when he is tired with walking, and by and by I will come home and tell you all about Chaklkv. So Charlev set out very bright and fresh. He had an idea, as lit tie children have, that the wo. Id is only a few miles across, ami that everything is close by: so he thought he would meet some one soon who would tell him where Je sus was. P.ut after walking for an hour or so, he began to get tired, and wanted his breakfasr. He went straight into a house and sat down. Now, in this huse there lived a very old man and woman who had no children. When they saw this little curly-headed boy com ing iu, they said : "What do you waut, my son:'7 Ami lie told tliem Close Votes in The Past. The Ohio man will occupy a hack seat for four years.

Ah, it has lieen a cruel thing th.it the republicans, for the purpose- of controbng the votes of the colored people ever misled them in respect to the probable results of the election. They have been made to believe, for false purposes, that the success of the democracy would be the de struction of their race as estab lished bv right of law and the con situtiou. but they will learn that the colored man is protected by the same constitution ' that pro tects you a-xl myself, my brother ami sister.

Applause and laughter, i Are you the Pharisee GREAT PREPARATIONS. The Southern Exposition, which is to opeoed At.New Drleans on December 1st, is tu outgrowth of an idea that .originated in 1S7H. when the Mississippi Cotton Plant er's Association was organized with a view to meet the' desperate state of thing thfcu threatening the planting interest by the proposed exodus of the colored population aud apparent necessity for replac ing the old methods of raising cot ton by new methods and labor-saving machinery. The association embraced planters from Texas, ! Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisi ana representative men who com prehe.uded the importance of imme diate action. . Corresf Kin deuce with Edward Atkhrsou and .others who took great interest in the idea, resulted in the memorable expositiou at At lanta, which proved a revelation and a means of education to the southern planter. It was an object lesson of the first class, easily com prehended. The many practical illustrations ot what couiu oe uone ! xn the way of improved cotton planting led to widespread results. For instance, lienjamin !. kocks, a well known planter of Yazoo, said ings anch as naturally around great exposition intentioif is to provide room for all exhibitors who have anything- to show worth seeing. The exhibits are to lid catalogued In niue groups with alnfit 1,000 classifications. The primary object of the exosi tion is to educate the people, aud this will le kept constantly in view. The president of th exposition is Edmund Richardson, of Mississip , pi, the largest cotton planter in the ' world. The director-general is j Major E. A. Burke, of New Orleaus. ! The main office is in New. Orleans. ' Theie is an office iu New York in I the Stewart bnildiug, at Chanilie8 street and Broadway, and another office in Chicago. Then there i a eomiuissioucr in every state with o,000 to spend in the interest of the exposition. There are also 14 men traveling in Enrope giving fri formation alioiit the exposition and getting exhibitors.

But the Atlanta exposition was less a primary school lor technical education compared with what is proposed in the New Orleans Ex position, which is intended to le a sort ot college to teach the applied science of agriculture. Tlf" idea that the Atlanta show should not" only be equalled but eclipsed soon obtained favor, and at a great gathering of agriculturists in Octo ber, 1882, the preliminary steps to the New Orleans Exposition were taken. It was then arranged that the exposition should embrace ev erything that is calculated to di versify southern industries, ana bring together the land owneis and farmers of the South and the ma chinery makers and capitalists of the North. It was determined th-ifr Mia vrvositinn .dionld be under uuawu j - - - . er's Association, embracing all thesr Rnntirn Htnte. and that, it should be located in such city as the exee&j ntive committee thought ottered the largest inducements. The New Orleans Exposition is in fact a sort of centennial celebra tion of the beginning of the cotton industry of the country, as the first cotton was exorted in 17S4. Thns was the beginning of the great ex: l.ort trade that has made America cotton aa important factom the in dustry of the world. Thenar 1884 also marks the hundredth anniver sary of the peace that, closed the Revolutionary war, and it was thought fitting that the occasion should be made moue memorable by the exposition that the South had been the area ol the most- re markable. Industrial progress of j this decade, and ws tlferefore, the j proper center for jf such k celebra tion. ' The coming exposition is called the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, and it is to be held under the auspices, of. the United States and the , Nntional Cotton Planter's Association. On April 24, 18o'l, tile Executive com mittee selected Jew Orleans as the site for the exijosition. Congress approved the charter constituting a lioard of thirteen members, six ot whom are- appointed by the presi dent, aud seven on the recommen dation of the association and sub scribers. Under the act the commissioners of the exposition had the authority to. invite foreign governments to participate in the exposition. In order to make provision for the guests thus invited, an. act of Con irress was passed loaning a million was sinking into unknown depthts it came out of the mud like the noise of a suction-pump when the j water is exhausted.
