Oh, happy Childhood I-tender buds of spring, Touched in the ..11aytime by a wandering frost, Ye have escaped the summer's sultry wing;. No drouth have parched you,, and no wind bath bossed, Shaking the pearl of morning from your breast; Ye have been gathered ere your swees were -lost. Ere winged passions stole into your rest, - To rob the heart of all its dewy store. .Now in the endless Alaytime overhead, In . k.airri gardens of the azure shore, Ye bloom in light, and are ror evermore , • The blessed dead. . Ye youo and maidens, dear to joy and love, But fallen midway bet Ween morn and noon; Or bird-like flown, as if some longing dove Should seek a better time while yet -'tis : June, . Leaving: our fields forlorn I_ Oh, happy flightl Gone while your hearts are full of summer tune, . And ignorant of the autumnal blight— , Ere yet a leaf hath withered-oh the bough, :, r innocent rose bath drooped its dying head; Come with virgin lilies on your brow ;, e, singing in immortal youth, are now : The blessed dead.. . I And ye, who in the harvest of your years, Were stricken when the sun was in And left the earth bedewed at noon with tears, • Ye have known all of life that is most fair, The laugh of April and - the summer bloom. Ye with the orange-blossoms in your hair, Who sleep in the bridal chambers of the tomb ; Or ye, who with the sickle in your hand, • Have bowed amid the sheaves the manly head, And left the sod unto a mournful band— Ye are all numbered in your resting land, The blessed dead. 1 50 And ye, who like the stately upland oak, Breasted the full allotted storms of time,, And took new strength from every gusty stroke— And ye who, like a vine long taught to climb And weigh its native branches with ripe frolv— Much have ye suffered 'neath the frosty time - hichautumnbringsand winters loud di:Tete ! But now: transplanted in the fields aur, YOur age is like a withered foliage shed— And where youth's fountain sparkles like a star, This have ye learned : they oniy,live who, are The blessed dead.

A FEW SCENES FROM A TRUE lIISTORY Late in the afternoon, Mr. Grossman wade his appearance. "Well; my beau ty," said he, "are you tired of the cala boose? Dor't you think you should like my house rather better ? " She yawned listlessly, and without look ing up, answered, "I am very tired of staying here." "I thought so," rejoined her master, with'a chuckling laugh. "I reckoned 1 should Wring you to terms. So you've made up your mind not to be cruel to a poor fellow so despe'rately in love with you —haVen't you? " ihe made no answer, and he continued: "You're ready to go hothe with we,—are you?" "Yes, Sir" she replied, faintly. "Well, then look up' in my face, and. let me have a peep at those devilish hand some eyes." He chucked .her under the chin, and raised.her blushing face. She wanted to push him from her, he was , so hateful; but she remembered:, the mysterious_ or ange, and looked him ,in the eye, with passive obedience. - -Overjoyed at his suc cess, he paid the jailor' his fee, drew her arm within his, and hurried to the car riage. How many humiliations were crowded into that short ride! Ho* she shrank from the touch of his"soft swabby hand I How she loathed the gloating looks of the old Satyr! But she remembered' the 'or ange, and endured it all - stoical.ly. Arrived at his stylish hOuse, he escort ed her to a large chamber elegantly fur nished. E. A. JONES. "I told you I would treat you like a princess," he said; "and I will keep my rd." • . e would have seated himself; but she ilrevented him saying, "I have one faVor to ask, and I shall be very grateful to you, if you will 'please to grant-it." - "What is it, my charmer?" he inquir- e,botza to -tile -of aqa Elie @issehffintioit of 4110614; qita tfews• From the Atlantic Monthly 1,00 LOO. [Concluded.] COUDERSPORT, POTTER _COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 18 38 will consent to anything- reason- 4 able." Sbe answered, I could not get a wink of sleep in that filthy prison; and . I.am extremely. tired . ; please leave me till to morrow" "Ah, why did you compel me to send you to that abominable place? It griev ed me-to cast such a pearl among swine. Well, I want to convince you that I am a kind master; , so I suppose I must con sent. But you must reward me with a kiss before I go." This was the hardest trial of all ; but she recollected the danger of exciting his suspicions, and Complied. He returned it with so much . ardor, that she pushed him away impetuously; but softening her manner immediately, she said, in plead ing tones, "I am exceedingly tired ; in deed I am I" He'lingered, and seemed Very'..ieliie tant to go; but when she again urged her request, he said; '"Good night. my beau-', ty! I will send up some refreshments for you,-before you sleep." • He went away, and she had a very un comfortable sensation when she heard him lock the door behind, him. A pris oner with sucka jailor ! With a quick mimenient of disgust, ehe rushed to the water-basin and wash'ed her lips and her hands; but she felt-that the stain was one no ablution could, remove. The sense of degradation was so cruolly bitter, that it seemed to her as if she should die for very shame. • Ina short time; an elderly mulatto wo man, with a pleasant face, entered, bear ing a tray of cakes, ices, and lemonade. "Pdon't wish - for anything to eat," said Loo Loo, despondingly. "Oh, don't be givin' up, in dat ar way," said the mulatto, in kind, motherly tones. "De Lord a'•n't a gwiue to forsake ye. Ye 'may jus' breve What Aunt Debby tells yer. rse a poor old nigger; but I hab ‘sarved dat de darkest tiwe is allers jus afore de light come. Eat some ob dese yer goodies. Ye onghter keep your self strong fur de sake ob yer friends." Loo Loo looked at her earnestly, and repeated. "Friends ? How do you know I have any friends ?" "Oh, rse poor old nigger," rejoined the mulatto. "I don't knows nottin " The captive looked wistfully after her, as she left the room. She felt disap pointed ; for something in the woman's ways and tones bad excited a hope within her. Again the key turned on the out side ; but it was not long before Debby reappeared with a bouquet. "Massa sent young Missis dose yer fow ers," she said. "Put them down," rejoined Loo Loo, languidly. “Whnsr shall I put 'em ?.” inquired-the servant.. "Anywhere, out of my way," was the curt reply. Debby cautioned her by a shake of her finger, and whispered, 'Massa's out -dar, waitin' fur de key. Dar's. writin' on dem ar towers." She lighted the lamps, and, after inquiring if anything else was want ed, she went out, saying, "Good night, missis. De Lord send ye pleasant dreams." Again the kev turned, and the sound of foot-steps died away. Loo Loo eagerly untwisted - the• paper round the bouquet and read these words : "Be ready for travelling. About midnight your door will be unlocked. Follow. Aunt Debby with your shoes in your hand, and speak no word. Destroy this paper." To this Madame Labalfse had added, "Ne craigner rien, ma there." Loo .Loo's heart palpitated violently, and the blood rushed to her cheeks. Wea ry as she was, she felt no inclination to sleep, As she sat there, longing for mid night, she had ample leisure to survey the apartment, It was, indeed, a bower tit fOr a princess. The chairs, tables, and French bedstead were all ornamented with roses and lilies c:recefully intertWined on a delicate fai; colored ground. The : tent-like canopy, that partially veiled the couch, was formed of pink.and white stri ped muslin, draped on either side in ' am- ple folds, and fastened with garlands _ofd roses. The pillow-eases were embroid ered, perfumed - and edged with frills: gailled as neatly as the petals of a dahlia. In one corner stood _a small table, decora ted with a very elegant Parisian tea-ser vice for two. -Lamps of cut glass mined the face of a large Pysche mirror, and on thei toilet before it a diamond neck lace and. epings _sparkled in their crim son velvet case. LooLoo looked at them with a half-acorptul smile; and repeated to herself: lie bought me somewhat high : Since -with me came-a heart he_ could not buy." She lowered the lamps to twilight soft nes, and tried to wait with patience. How long the hours seemed ! What if Aunt Debby had been detected in her plot ? What if the. master should come in her stead ? Full of that fear, she tried to open the windows, and found them fas tened on 'the outside. H.er heart sank Within her; for she had resolved in the last emergency' to leap out and be crush- ed on the pavement. Susperise became almost intolerable. She listened, and lis tened. There was no sound, except a loud snoring in the next apartment. Was it her tyrant, who was sleeping so near? She sat with her shoes in hea hand, her eyes fastened on the door. .At last it opened, and Debby's brown face peeped in..-...They.passea out together,--the mu latto taking the precaution to lock the door and put the key in her pocket Softly they went down stairs through the kitchen, out into the adjoining alley, Two gentlemen with a carriage werein attend ance. They sprang in, and were whirled away. After riding some miles the 'car riage was stopped ; one of the gentlemen alighted and handed the women out. "My name is Dinsmore," he said. - "I , am uncle to your friend, Frank- Helper. You are to pass for my daughter, and Debby is our servant." •-. • "And Alfred, Mr. Noble, I mean,— were is he?" asked " oo Loo. "He will-follow in good time. Ask no more questions now." The carriage rolled away; and the par tyrit had conveyed were soon on their way to! the. North by an express train. It would be impossible to describe the anxiety Alfred had endured from the time Loo Loo became the property of the cot ton-broker until he heard of her escape. From motives of policy he was kept in ignorance of the person employed, and of the measures they intended to take. In this state of suspense,. his reason might have been endangered, had not Madame Labasse brJught cheering mes.sages, from time to time, assuring him that all was carefully arranged, and success nearly, certain. When Mr. Grossman, late in the day, discovered that his prey had escaped, his. ' rage knew no bounds. He offered one thousand dollari fur her apprehension, and another .thousand for the detection of any one who had aided her. He made suc cessive attempts to - obtain an indictment against Mr Noble ; but he was Troved to have been distant from the scene of action, and there was no evidence that he had any connection with the mysterious affair. Failing in this, the exasperated cotton broker swore" that he would have his heart's blood, for he knew the sly, smooth spoken. Yankee - 3ms at the, bottom of it. He challenged him; but Mr. Noble, not -withstanding the arguments of Frank Helper, refused, on the ground that he held New England opinions on the sub ject of duelling. The Kentuckian could I not understand that it required a far high-1 er kind of courage to refuse than it would I have done to accept. The bully proclaim ed him a coward, and shot at him in the, street, but without inflicting a very seri ous wound. Thenceforth he went armed, and his friends kept him in sight. But he probably owed his life to the fact that Mr. Grossman was compelled to go to New Orleans suddenly, on urgent business. Before leaving, the latter sent messengers to Savannah, Charleston, Louisville, and elsewhere; exact descriptions of the fugi tives were posted in all public places, and the offers of reward were doubled; but the activity thus excited proved all in vain. The runaways had travelled night and day, and were in Canada before their pursuers reached New York. A few lines from 111 r. Dinsmore announced this - to Frank Helper, in phraseology that could not be understood, in case the letter should be inspected at the Post-office. He wrote: "I told you we intended to visit 31ontreal ; and by the date of this you will see that I have carried my plan into exe cution. My daughter likes the ,place so much that I think I. shall leave her here awhile in charge of our truity servant, whilel go home to look after my affairs." After the excitement ,had somewhat subsided, Mr. Noble ascertained the pro cess by which his friends had succeeded in effecting the rescue.. Aunt Debby owed her master agrudge for having repeatedly sold her children; and just at that hue a fresh wound was rankling in her heart, because her only son a bright lad of eight , , een, of whom Mr. Grossman was the re puted father, had been sold to a slave-tra- ' der to help raise the large sum he had given for Loo Loo.- Frank Helper's friends, having discovered this state of affairs, opened a negotiation with the mu latto woman, promising to send both her and her son into Canada, if she would as sist them in their plans. Aunt Debby! chuckled over the idea of her waste; disappointment', and was eager to seize the opportunity of being reunited to her, last remaining child. The lad was accord ingly purchased by the gentleman who distributed oranges in the prison; and was sent to Canada aecording.to promise. Mr. Grossman was addicted to strong drink, and Aunt Debby had lono. i' been in the habit of preparing a potion for him before, he retired to rest. "I mixed, it, powerful, dat ar night," said the laughing mulatto; "and I put in someting dat de gemmen guv to me: I reckon he waked up Myna late." Mr. Dinsmore, a maternal uncle of Frank Helper's, had keen visiting the South, and was then.!about to return to New York.' then th him, he said nothing more than to take the own protection. SCENE Mr. Noble arranged be wreck of bis affairs as speedily as po sible, eager to be on the way to. Montre h The evening before he started, Frank. Helper waited'! upon Mr. Grossman 'and said : "That badsome slave' you haVel been trying so hard to catch is doubtless beyond your reach, and will take goodlcare_notto come within your power. Under these circum stances sheds worth-nothing to you; but for the sake of quieting 'the uneasiness of my friend Noble, I will give you eight hur'dred-dollars to relinq ish all claim to ' her." , " I'll see you both damned first," he replied. " I shall trip 'n up yet I'll keep the sword hanging'over their cursed heads as long as I live.. 'll wouldn't mind spending ten thousand dollars to be re venged on that infernal Yankee." Mr. Noble reached Mqntreal in safety, and found his Loo Loo well, and cheerful. Words are inadequate to describe the emo tions excited by reunion,ifter such dread- Ail perils and hair - breads escapes. Their marriage was solemnized as sown as possi ble; but the wife being an article of pro perty. according to American, law,_ they did nut venture to return to the States. Alfred obtained some writing to do for a commercial house, while Loo Loo instruc ted little girls in" dancing'and embroidery. Her character had strengthened under the severe ordeals through which she had passed. She began to question the right , fulness of living so indolently as she had done. Those painful scenes in the slave 1-prison made her reflect', that sympathy' with the actual miseries 'O . life was better, , than* weeping over romtnees. She was rising above the deleterious influences of, her early edncation, and beginning to feel the dignity of usefulness. ' She said to her husband, " I shall not be sorry, if we are always poor. It is so i) easant to help you, who have done so inuch for me I And Alfred, dear, I ' l watit to give some of my earning to Aunt Debby. The poor old , Soul is trying to lay . UP money to pay that friend of yours' whd Pought her son' and sent him to Canada' _ Surely, I, of all people in the world, ought to be will ing to help slaves who have been less for tunate than I have. Sometimes, when I lie awake in the night, P have very sol emn thoughts come over me. It was.tru ly a wonderful Providence that twice saved the from that dreadful fate that awaited"' me. I can never be grateful enough to God for sending me such a blessed friend as my good Alfred." They were living thus contented with their humble lot, when a letter froth Frank. Hel per announced that the extensive house' of Grossman & Co. had stopped.payment. Their human chattels had been put up at auction, and amoiig them was the title to our beautiful fugitive. The chance of capture was considered so hopeless, that, when Mr. -Helper bid sixty-two dollars, no one bid over him ; and she became his property, until there was time to transfer thn leanl claim to his friend. Feeling that they could now be safe' under their own vine and 6g-tree, Alfred returned to the - United States, where he, became first a clerk, and afterward a i pros-, perous merchant. His natural or.aaniza tion unfitted him for conflict, and though .hia peculiar experiences had imbued hun with a thorough abhorrence of slavery, he stood aloof from the ever-increasing agi- cation on that subject; but every New Year's day, one of the Vigilance Commit tees for the relief of fmkitive slaves re ceived one hundred dollars from an " un- known. friend." As his pecuniary means increased, he purchased several slaves, who had been in his employ at Mobile, and established them as servants in North ern hotels. Madame Labasse was invited to spend the remainder of her days under his roof; but she came only in the sum mers, being unable to conquer her shiver. ing dread of snow storms. Loo Loo's personal charms attracted attention wherever she made her appear ance. At church, and other public Oa ees people pointed her out to strangers, saying, ‘. That is the wife of Mr. Alfred Noble. She was the orphan daughter of a rich planter at the South, and had a great inheritance left td her; but Mr. I Noble lost it all in the financial crisis of 1837." Her real .history remained a se. cret, locked within their onn breasts. Of their three children, the youngest was named . Lon Loo, and greatly resembled her beautiful mother. -When she was six years old, bee portrait was taken in az • • sy hat garlanded with red berries: tr . 4 was dancing round a little whitedog, - -a.e: long streamers of ribbon were floating hind. her. Her-father had it framed - in an arched environment of vine -work, and presented it to his wife on, her thirtieth birth-day. Her eyes moistened as she gazed upon it; then kissing his hands, she looked up in the oktway, and said, "I TiIANK:YOti, SIN 2-011:-.BUYING:_ME."

She had two years ago ninety:;, one lines of ocean mail steamers running' direct from England 'to foreign ports, em- ploying about four hUndred steamers ; , atid - she had twenty-five lines running between foreign ports in connexion with them, em- ploying one hundred and five steamers ; making five hundred and five ocean mail..: steamers which receive large sums direct' from the governmetit as an inducement for their several companies to establish and run them. These are all subject to' the orders of the government whenever 1 the exigencies of war render it necessary rfor her to use them, 'either as war steam ers or transport vessels. Thus it will be'. I I seen that she has a war force at her Com mand of about one thousand ateamirs, he= sides nearly the same number of Mercan- tile steamers, making a grand / total of total of nearly two thousa d ocean ' t steamers. Sir, she has alread'taken a large share of our carrying tide,- and nearly the whole of the most [valuable' ;portion of it.
