From tho Pennurlvanlft Inquirer. M 7 EARLY LOVE, J REMIXISCEXCr. To such of ray readers ns may be desi rous of knowing who and what 1 am, I will merely say—my name is John H . 1 am a retired merchant, and by the world re ported wealthy. Out of a large family all my children have married or died, but one— mv little pet, Mar-y. I still her “ray little pel,’’ although eight winters haye glided by since 1 clasped her to my bosom. 1 love her yery name, and whether on this account or because she is my youngest, 1 know not, but 1 have always felt for her a more than paternal fondness. But it is not of myself or family I intend to speak. To-night, seated in my study, surrounded by every comfort, my| mind has reverted again and again la an incident which happened long ago, until I have determined to record it. It was twenty years ngOj, this very day, March, IS —. The morning was blustering and unpleasant, as March mornings gener ally are, when 1 started from my homo to the counting-house. 1 was fl am sorry to con fess it) in a bad humor. The baby had cried all night, my .coffee had been badly made and altogether 1 was what is vulgarly called “out ot sorts.’' 1 gave my overcoat a hurried jerk, and waiting to buttorl it and pul on my gloves on the way down, I\slammed the door, and rushed off; At tLd corner, my rapid progress was impeded by a figure which had been crouching on ope of the door steps. Just as i came up, n sprang forward, directly in my path, and seemed to be intently regarding something down the street. With a aigh of disappointment, it was shrinking back again, but not before I bad exclaimed angrily, “Woman, gel out of my Way.” She turned around, and with such a look I lam an old roan now, and yet that pala, waited face, with that reproachful look, is as vividly present before me as then, and will haunt me to my dying day, She -fixed her gaze upon me for a moment, and then, in a voice hollqw and weak—ah I me, Weak, 1 doubt not, from said—“Sir, you ought not to speak to a miserable creature, to.” I fell ashamed of myself, and in a kind tone, inquired whether she was expecting any one.—Her frame shook with emotion, which she vainly strove to conceal, as she replied. “My boy' Harry has gone some errands for me, and lam waiting for him.” Her head sank upon her breast; and, throwing her some money I was passing on, when, with a sudden emotion, she stretched forth her hand, all purple with the cold, and said—“ Sir, did you ever know Mary Beech.fieldl Can you Ifil.l tpe where she lived 7” 'Mary Beechfield I What a flood of mem ories that name sent through'my soul! 1 exclaimed involuntarily (and mjr heart whis pered, she was your first love) —'‘know her ( why I can see her now.—So tall and grace ful, with brown hair, and such liquid eyes. The last lime I saw her was"—but remem bering myself, I answered very quickly— " Yes, i know her, but it is many yoafs since I moved from the place where she lived,'and * have not heard of her since. Why do you askj" for I fell it almost profanation for such as oho to have bjary’s name upon het lips. She drew her hood more closely' over her Ihce,' as she replied in faltering accents; ' "She wap kind to mo once." .* ’ Something about the'womau interested me and asking epv'eral more questions, I prom-’ ised to call oh the morrow, and hurried on, It was late when I reached the'store, but all (hat day 1 could not attend tqliusinesa.

Suffice it to say, circumstances were such we did not marry.. 1 .moved to .another city, where t married, and heard no more of Mary. But (o return .to my story. All that day I felt.uncomfortable,. At one lime I.would blame myself-for speaking harshly, to the Mary had treated kindly; and at another time, I would feel provoked to think ao small an affair could unnerve me. [ went home early, and determined to find the woman. I continued to- make inquiries for her daring several weeks, but with no success. No one had seen such a person. A year passed by, and 1 was beginning lo forget the incident,- when one evening, in con versation, a friend turning to mb, said— “ John, you were once a great admirer of Mary Beechfield, were you not ?” 1 assented, and'ioqUlred - why aha spoke of her then. '• “Because I heard Ihis morning she died in a miserable alley near here. You know her uncle disinheiited her when .she married Jackson, a worthless fellow, nnd since then she has lived in great poverty,” How every word pierced my heart I wailed to hear no more, but seized my hat and hastened to the gloomy abode. Ou my way the words, “Sir, did you ever knew Mary Beeehf}eld’’ came fresh to my memory, and the thought'rushed across pm that it'must have been her. ’ No one can imagine my feelings. My hand trembles, and my blood runs chill, when 1 remember that night. To have spoken' unkindly—nay, ordered her from my path ; it was too much. I reached the hovel, for I can give it no other name, nnd there, in the person of the poor woman, 1 found my lost Mary., Her poor little boy hung over her in speechless grief. Everything about the department spoke of poverty, extreme poverty, and- yet such neatness pre vailed that you felt ybd Vere not away from refibeVnent. Ah !- ho; her everf thought was. oobje. .She was' fitted to adorn any station, however exndted, and to Bo brought to this! when I encountered her in tho street, she evidently had intepded'to reveal heVself. But when I spoke in such glowing terms of the Mary of my remembrance,' her pride— woman’s pride—forbade it. All that day at the office t felt like; writing bsr name upon every check, and Heaven knows, had I thought she needed them, I would nave titled them all. Well! well! Such are the changes of fortune. lam becoming weary and must close. My only restitution was to lake the boy into my family. Hu has always been as my child, and no one, not even my wife, knows the reason I take such a deep interest in Harry, or why be has succeeded as head of my affairs.

That we believe Id be the price between New York and Boston, for instance. The work, however is not at all popular with expressmen, and (he messengers never meet among their fVeight with one of those wooden cases in which coffins are usually en closed, without a wish that they were rid of it. Some of them are very notional upon the subject; not from superstitfba, but from that instinctive fear of ihe progress of decay which all feel in the presence of a corpse; especially when there is any suspicion (hat it has been kept too long. , An instance illustrating what we have said, occurred in this city one morning last week. An express messenger having among his freight >in the company's car, one of those ominously oblong boxes, declared confiden tially to the conductor of the train, that the body inside "must be very far gone,'indeed,” and "the smell of it made him as sick as a horse.” In vdin he'tried to forget it, or aa lubrify.jhe odor, by smoking a magnificent cigar. Tbesmell. became more offensive to him every minute during the long night that he was whizzing away with, it over the rail track; and before the train arrived in New York it affected him so much that he vomited. When the driver, with the wagons of the New York office; went to the depot for (he express freight, the illness of the unfortunate messenger wqs obvious, and in answer to in quiries he explained the cause,.i All.eyes fell on.the oblong box, and every roan held'his nose. It was decided unanimously (bat it was too far gone to be taken to the office, and as the railroad men swore (through their com pressed olfactories) that they would notsufier it to remain in the depot,, the strongest nerved and roost accommodating driver present took it,.to the “dead bouse” up town. ; ' No ope knew where the .obnoxious ,■box came from. It was usual to make a special bargain ip such cases,, but no allusion, was made to it on the way bill. In the course of the day, however, the mystery waa not rod.— A gentleman came into the office in Broad way, and called (or the box. * It baa been taken to the dead house,” was the reply of the clerk. “The dead house!” exclaimed the appli cant. “Yes, sir, rejoined (he clerk, firmly, “we couldn’t stand it, sir. Too. far gone, sir. “Too far gono?” was the angry retort. — “I should think so, if you have sent it up to —th street. Explain yourself. What do you mean 1” “I mean that the body smelt too bad, sir,” retorted the clerk. - “Smelt bad!” cried the visitor, “I have handled it for ten years past, apd I ppver smelt anything but.(he varpish, and that not unpleasantly. Hang it, sir, that box contains rpy manikin, an artificial anatomy or model of the hpman body. lam ftjr. Wieliug, the lecturer upon Phisiology.” This ridiculous explanation, produced ad explosion of laughter throughout the office, and it js still the best joke of the season. It is a capital illustration of the power qf ifie imagination.— N. Y.

If correct it should be understood and iidmitied by.Norlhern men ; if incbrfect, it should be promptly met and exposed. 1 " 1 ’ The doctrine that man, bearing the image of liia Qod, immortal' in his ijbneS andaspii .ration's, cari’be transformed into property, changed froth human to the brute crea tion,, is repugnant to the' judgment “of man kind ; opposed to the teachings of nature und of i-evelation ; in direct contradiction' to the intentions and understanding of those who founded our Govern Open t; in Conflict with the convictions arid objects of those who framed our Constitution, and is contradicted in the moat emphatic manner by the spirit and letter ofthat Instrument. " It is repugnant to th,e judgment of man kind:' In no age of the world, in'no part n has a' being existed in the' form ol man, with the ordinary intellect possessed by our race, who did not feel conscious that no other person could have rightful power over his life, his liberty or his labour; This con sciousness was infused Into the, soul of man at his creation,'and constitutes onej of the elements df our rhoral nature. It has never befin'separated from rhe soul of man. Nei ther you, nor the most strenuous advocate of slavery, ever did, or ever will admit that you cari'be disrobed of'your manhood, transferred into a brute'and made the property of your, brother man. You are conscious thdt your lungs are inflated by your own inspiration ; your limbs move at the instance of your own will, and not at (he instance of another ; your hands cultivate the earth and gather i's fruits under the guidance of your own judgment, and if you foil.to feed and pourish your body agreeably to the demands of nature, you die. When you have obtained food for the nour ishment of your -6wn body, you will not admit 1 the righf-of another to take it from you. You are conscious that such robbery would be wrong—an offence against natural justice. Yet these propositions are merely self-evident truths, standing, parallel with the absolute right of every'ipan' tojiia own body and the use of his dwmijmb^.' The South Sea cannibals kill and eat (ho bodies of ihoso whom they conquer ; but even the New Zelander denies the right of others to slay and eat him. He is fully con scious of his right to enjoy pis awn Ijldtlib erty and labour; holds that “allegiance to the power which gave him the form, requires him 10 defend the rights of man,” and Sheri dan spoke truly when, 10 1782, he declared that “never yet was this truth dismissed from the human heart; never in any time, in any age—never in any dime where rude man hud any social feelings—never was ihis in extinguishable truth destroyed from t-tje heart of man, pluced as it is in the core end cen tre by his Creator, ihnt man was not made the property of man.” ■ The doctrine that slaves are property is opposed to the 'teachings of Nature and of Revelation. ■ Fot.Th* Agitator, lu our siavo Stales men are held and treated as property. The owners attach to them the incidents of property. 'They regard the whole physical and rpbral being of the slave aubserviepl to the interest of his owner. They seek to prolong the lives of their slaves so far ay will baprofilable lo.lhe master, and no longer. They drive him so hard as topro duce death at.ljial period which the owners believe most conducive to their interests. It is a well ascertained fact that 25,001) murders are thus committed on Southern plantations annually, tender ttye excuse that slaves are property, ( peed o° l ?ay that such barbarity is revolting tp all ifte feelings of our nature. Sir, | feet deeply pained when I reflect that a man of your ppljtical.intelligence charges our Pedetal.Constitution with such heathenish barbarity. , Mature jeaclaes us that the design and object of hunaap existence's to elevate and unfold ib.e intellect, the spirit, the soul of manj. that the body is merely the tenement, the habitation of the soul lobe nourished and ,mt)de Healthy in ofder to render it An agreea ble dwelling for the .moral being.
