Time and eternity are one; Time is eternity begun, Life changes, yet without decay, ’Tis wa alone who pass away. It is not Truth that flies; 'Tia we; 'tis we, are flying; It is not Faith that dies; 'Tis we; ’tis we, are dying. 0, ever-during Faith and Truth, Whose youth is age, whose age is youth; Twin stars of immortality, Ye oannot perish from our sky. It Is not Hope that flies; ’Tis we; ’tis we, are flying; It is not Love that dies; 'Tis wo; 'tis wo, are dying. Twin streams, that have in heaven your birth, Ye glide in gentle joy through earth. We fade, like flowers beside you sown; Ye are still flowing, flowing on. Yet we but die to live; It is from death we’re flying; For over livee our life; For us there is no dying. We-die but ns the spring-bud dies, In summer’s golden glow jo rise. These be our days of April blodm; Our July is beyond the tomb. WOMAN AT HOME. BY MRS. SIGOURNEY. Ob, homefelt bllssl—so passing sweet, The cheerful fire beside, My baby creeping at my feet, Who oft with glance of pride Looks t»ok elate, and pleased to show \ How fast his tiny feet can go. And closely seated at my side, My little daughter fair, Whose doll upon her knee doth ride, Essays a matron’s care, — While many a leSson, half severe, With kisses mixed, must dolly hear. There lie my volumes, closed and still, Those chosen friends of old ; The pen, regardless of my will, Lurks in its bronzed hold; High joys they gave, but not bo dear As those that gild my fireside here, Where harp and viol enrol sweet, •* 'Mid youth’s unfolding hours, And gladness wings the dancer’s feet, That seemed to tread on flowers,— I’ve shared the cup,—it sparkled clear,— ’f was foam,—the precious draught is here. I’ve trod the lofty hills, where dwell The noblest of our land, And mot, though humble was my cell, Warm smile and greeting band ; Yet she dues feel a thrill more b'est, Who lulls her infant on her breast. Strong words of praise,—such words as gird To high ambition’s deed, — The impulse of my mind have stirred, Though all unearned their meed: Yet what of these?—they fleet away, Like mist, before affection’s rny. " Though many a priceless gem of bliss Hath made my pathway fair, Yet have I known no joy like this, A mother’s nursing unre,— To mark, when stars of midnight shine, My baby’s bright eyes fixed on mine. i Even she of buanty’s brightest ray, By fashion’s throng oarest. If from that pomp she turn away To build a hallowed nest, And hoard the jewels of the heart, Like Mary, finds the ' better part.’ Might woman win earth’s queenliest rose, Yet miss that wild-flower's zest, Which by the lowliest cradle grows, ’Twere but a loss at best; Pass on, great world, in all thy pride, I’ve made my clioicCj and here abide. LITTLE CROSS BEARERS. The little girls laughed merrily, and, hurrying home, packed their dinner baskets in such haste, that Carrie and Jenny Bell had hardly finished their breakfasts, when the whole eager party ar rived at the garden gate. “Why, girls,” cried Susy Wright, “not ready yet? Do hurry, for it is a long walk, and wa want to get into the woods before it grows much warm er.” „ “It won’t take me two minutes,” cried Carrie, but Jenny stood irresolute. “I’m afraid we oughtn’t to go.” “Why not, pray?” cried Carrie, sharply, “Why, you know mother has one of her bad headaches coming on, and there’s Walter and l'red to be taken oare of.” , “Well, and there’s Sally to do V’ said Carrie. “But you know Sally’s sister is very sick, and mother has given her leave to go home to-day.” “ Howjsrovoking,” said Carrie, fretfully. Then she added, after a pause, “But I don’t believe mother’s head is very bad, and I’m sure Fred will be good, and Walter would help amuse him." “Walter Is almost a baby himself” said Jenny, “and Fred frets almost all the time since he’s been getting his teeth, poor little fellow!” “ Fred will be good enough if you are not here to spoil him,” cried Carrie, “and I’ll just go and ask mother if she can’t get nhmg without us. It would be too bad to keep us in such a lovely day.” Carrie was hack in a few minutes, with a ra diant face. “Mother says we may go. She can spare ns if we are going to enjoy ourselves so much.” Jenny hesitated. The woods in the distance looked so misty and pleasant, and Fred’s fretful little ory jarred upon her ear, while she thought how hard it would be to amuse him, and keep Walter quiet and happy through all that warm day. But would it be any easier for her mother, loft all alone with her aching head? “No,” thought Jenny, “ I cannot be so selfish. I should not enjoy myself at all." “What ore you thinking about so long?” asked Carrie, impatiently. “Come, let’s get onr bas kets ready.” “I believe I won’t go,” faltered Jenny. “Why not?” cried two or three disappointed voices. “ I can’t bear to leave mother so sick.” f “What a mean girl you are, Jenny Bell,” whis pered Carrie, angrily. “You want to make all the girls think you are moh a saint, and I am so selfish. That’s ail you’re doing it for—just to Bbow off.” “No, indeed! Carrie,” said Jenny, coloring deeply; and turning to the girls she added, “One of us can go just as well as not, and, of course, as Carrie is the oldest, she has the best right, and, indeed, I do not believe I care half as much about it as she does, for she has been talking about it all the week.” No persuasions could move Jenny, who only shook her head cheerfully, and insisted that she did not feel badly at all, and at last the impatient little party moved on. After watching them down the road, with glis tening eyes, for it was really a very great trial to be left behind, Jenny went back to the nursery, where her mother sat bathing her head with cam {ihor, and trying to amuse the little complaining l'red with some piotures. A look of glad sur- Jrise came over her flushed face, as she heard enny’s step. “I thought you were gone to the woods.” “No, mother,” said Jenny, trying to speak oarolessly. “ I thought I would like to play house keeper to-day, and first I am going to put you to bed with your dreadful headache, and then Wal ter and Fred and I are going to have a nice time ont in the arbor.” ' The happy tears came in Mrs. Bell’s eyes as her kind daughter arranged the pillows under her throbbing head, and darkening the room, stole softly out with Fred and Walter. But it was no small task that Jenny had un dertaken. Poor baby Fred bit his fingers with his hot, swollen gums, but as that did not make matters any better, he threw away, one after an other, flowers, books, and playthings, which pa tient Jenny brought, and was quite determined to he a very unhappy little baby. Then Walter was full of mischief, and could be only kept still withstories, which poor Jenny told industriously, walking up and down the garden walk, carrying baby Fred till she thought her arms would drop off. Once in awhile a vision crossed her of the hap py party seated in the shady woods, making crowns, and eating wild strawberries, but she pushed it bravely aside, and kept on her tiresome walk, only thinking to herself that if mother was having a nice rest, she oould bear it a little longer. The sun grew very hot, but little tyrant Fred would not be carried into the house, and as poor Jenny, turning in the path, was just beginning her seventh story, she saw a gentleman at the garden-gate. “Could you give me a drink of water, little lady?” said be, pleasantly, and Jenny, incumbered by the clinging Fred, soon brought a cool, brim ming goblet. “You look tired,” said the gentleman, kindly, as be thanked her, and before she knew it—drawn on by bis Sympathizing questions —she had told lil'M all the story of the morning’s trials and dis appointments, though, for some reason, she hard ly understood herself, she never told him she had a sister Carrie, who had gone to the woods. They had quite a pleasant talk together, and at last, wbe’n the gentleman went his way, he said, “I like you so much littie.Jenny, that I don’t want' you to forget me,” and drawing from his pocket a small book, he begged her to keep it in memory of his visit, and with a bright, kind smile, he was gone. The day wore on. At-noon Jenny made a nice cup of tea for mother, and after feeding baby his bread and milk, and giving busy Walter his din ner, to her great joy, both children —overcome with fatigue and heat—fell fast, asleep. Now she had time to examine her little book, which she found very strange and interesting. It told about some pilgrims, going on a long journey, with heavy crosses on their backs. They had a great many trials, and often their waylay through hot, sandy deserts, so that some of them grew very lired and sad, and some tried to throw away their crosses, but others went on very patiently, always looking as if they saw something so beautiful just a little way before them, that they forgot all present sorrow and trouble. So the story went on, till the pilgrims all came to a very dark valley, through which they must pass. Then some of them trembled, and grew pale, but others went in singing, and some of the words of their song were, “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me,” and suddenly, white they were sing ing, the heavy crosses fell from their backs, and in their stead, angels brought them shining crowns. And there came a voice, “ Father, I will that these whom Thou hast given me, be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory.” Then the whole valley was filled with light, the angels shouted, “They shall see the King in his beauty,” and the happy pilgrims'passed through the ever lasting gates into the golden city. Jenny’s tears fell fast as she finished the strange little book, which she could not quite understand “My sweet little daughter,” said a voice, and looking.up, she saw her mother coming in at the door, and knew from her eyes that the bad head ache was quite gone. “ You have made me very happy," continued Mrs. Bell, kissing Jenny’s round cheeks. “ You have been so self-sacrificing and patient to-day, that I am sure my prayers have been heard, and that one of tny little daughters is learning to take up her cross daily, and follow Christ.” “Mother,” said Jenny, eagerly, “Do you mean that I am a cross-bearer?” “ You certainly have been to-day,” said her mother, with an affectionate smile. Jenny bur.-t into happy tears, and held out her little book. They read it over together, and Jen ny's mother explained it, “And will all that ever happen to me?” said Jenny. “ Yes, if you take up your cross daily, and bear it patiently, you, too. shall see the King in his ..beauty.”. ... Carrie came home very cross that, night. She knew she had been selfish, and nothing had gone right all day, while there sat Jenny, looking so wonderfully Happy. What could be the reason ? Was she doing it just to be provoking? The little party, stopping at the gate, were very voluble, telling Jenny of the pleasures of the day. They never before had had such a splendid time,' and had never seen the woods so beautiful, and so fall of birds and flowers. But not one of the party was as happy as the patient little cross bearer, for the angels were singing, “She shall see the King in his beauty, and the land that is very far off.” M. L. P., in the Congregationalism. ESSENTIALS OF GOOD COMPANIONSHIP; BY F. I>. HUNTINGTON, D. D, I begin, then, by reminding you that the best companionship requires a restraint of self-asser tion. Indeed, we shall find no one thing that stands more in the way of a free and cordial in tercourse between persons, than a constant effort of one or the other to maintain some sort of supe riority. A secret and almost impalpable disgust begins to draw people apart, the moment they find they are engaged in a disguised competition to outdo each other in the brilliancy of display or to get the start of each other in the admiration of the company. That is a dismal picture Doctor Johnson gives of Goldsmith, sitting all one eve ning at a supper party of eminent wits, sullen and sulking, because he had no chance to get into conversation, and shiue. It has its counterpart, however, iu our every-day gatherings of men and women. Self-seeking crowds out all spontane ous, natural manifestations of character, and de stroys the life and spirit of genuine sociability. It stiffeus manners. It ebiils hospitality. It spoils talk. It petrifies humor. It paralyzes sympathy. Nobody can have a good time, be cause somebody in the company wants to be dis tinguished. There can be no genial, uncalcu lating cheerfulness, because Mr. A or Miss B. has come on purpose to be admired. There is no foe to enjoyment like this surly or pert self-con sciousness. What smiles It has are smiles for ef fect, and so are meaningless and hollow—a ghast ly grimace. It chokes down laughter, when it has come halt-way up the throat. True mirth is self-forgetful. It is not plotting all the while for a compliment, an envious glance, or a vole. It bubbles np, and flows over, and gladdens the dry wastes of small-talk with its nutritious drippings, —let other people say what they will, and think what they will, and admire whom they please. Hero is one of the differences between humor and wit. Pride arid ambition maybe witty; but only sympathy and benevolence are humorous. In fact wit, aimed at persons, has it for a favorite exercise to humiliate, to satirize, to take down, to sting; and these are not processes that assimi late and harmonize people. Hence, wit is not a social creature, while humor commonly is. Wit is cold; humor warm. Wit sneers, and humor laughs. Wit, self-promoting, sets us apart, and may set us to admiring, or may set us to hatin»; but humor, which regards more the'gladness of the party, or the essential, comicality of the thing, creates a common feeling, and diffuses a common exhilaration. I have seen a man of bright parts enough, so greedy always for the first place, and so pursued by himself, that whatever circle he en tered, he never relished a pleasantry, simply be cause lie did not make it himself. He watched the conversation only to catch a chance to say something smarter than the rest There was al ways a sense of relief when this dull, talented fellow, so vulgar in his gentility, went out of the room, much like taking off a blistering plaster from the chest. Again, it is contrary to the science of good com panionship, to be always laying out the field of conversation into roundabout paths for bringing forward your own strong points, hobbits, pet ac complishments, or past honors. It is pretty well authenticated, that a clerical couple of Boston, in the last generation,—by a clerical couple, I mean of course a clergyman and his wife, —remarkable for their brilliant talking, used to prepare and re hearse their parts regularly before they went out of an evening, arranging all the surprises, inter- S«urir*tt 4** ®»»«gciist. questions, beforehand. The price oi 5? effect was not cash, but the astonis nn Another principle in the science of truei Danionship is the forgetfulness of things that d the ignoring of things that distuvb. It is frightful, and altogether humiliating, to how much there is in the common ongoingo - mestic and social life, which deserves no.h.ng but to be instantly and for ever forptten. Yet ‘is eouallv amazing how large a class seem to have no other business but to repeat and perpetuate the°e very things. That is the vocation of gos sip-™ order of society that perpetuates more mischief than all the combmed plagueof B»pt together You may have noticed how many speeches there are which become nnsclnevous only by being heard a second time, and what _ army of both sexes are sworn to sec to it, that the fatal repetition shall be bad. Blessed is that man S womaS that can let drop all the burrs and ti tles, instead of picking them up, and fastening them on to the next passenger! _ W ouid we only let the vexing and malicious sayings die, how fast the lacerated and scandal-ridden world would get healed and tranquillized. A great deal of unpleasant friction between ac quaintances comes about from an.excessive demand for sympathy. We ask too much, and give too little,—which is not the way to be happy. We get tired of those people that are always going about the world appealing for compassion, -in sisting that nobody understands, them, talking dolefully about uncongenial surroundings, differ ence of spheres, and ail that sentimental whine of constitutions too self-conscious to be satisfied, and too lazy to work, —discontented, poetical By rons,—male and female, —only with • the poetry left out. Not that we feel absolutely hard-heart ed at real suffering, or grudging of a Christian pity. But we want a chance to give, sometimes, before the beggar petitions. And when our neigh bors inform us, morning, noon, and. night, that they are wretched, and then complain that no body can measure the refinement of their sensibi lities, we are irresistibly moved to tell them to go about some honest business. You remember Ro bert Hallos allusion to a man who wont through the world with an air that seemed to he offering a perpetual apology Tor the unpardonable presump tion of having been born; what a trite essayist calls “supplicating manners.” There are indi viduals .who bewail tlieir insignificance and un worthiness, with a tone and air which suform you very distinctly that they are responsible for none of it; mankind have eouspired to underrate, and hinder, and crush them; ten to one you are in the conspiracy: so they continue to charge others with their short-comings, just as those who abuse their opponents do it, half the time, only because they have got angry and with themselves. If we would help give to society a free aud natural play, we must resolutely refrain from pushing too hard for its special consideration, or exacting too much from its charity ; for that al ways clogs and compromises the more spontane- , ous and beautiful impulses. Thayer’s Home Monthly. A FEW WORDS TO MOTHER 3. One great trial and* source of depression to a married woman, surrounded with a family of lit tle children, is the small amount she can do. It seems literally, as mouth after month rolls by, as if she accomplished nothing. Life seems a blank, only filled up with petty cares, that wear out, and corrode, and canker the frail tenement of the flesh, but leave no trace behind. “Oh! if I could only live for something, I could cheerfully bear all the burdens time brings to me I” is the desponding cry of many a mother; hut, mother, look back on your own childhood, and then tell me if you do not live for something 1 Years ago, tired, hungry from out-door play, who brought you the nice, sweet bowl brimming with milk, that tasted sweeter to you than the rarest dish to the epicure? Who folded you in her arms, and rocked you to sleep as gently as the --“lrene —to iuL.ktd~rn "£<arl><rd —Wtrcrgavo bright smiles and softkisses when your heart was quivering with pain from the harsh, unfeeling words of some playmate? Whose soft step and light touch, and whispered words of prayer, drove away the dark images of fear, that darkness, to the child, is so often peopled with, and lit brightness in the belief of a protecting, sleepless care over all ? Who fanned your fevered brow, aud held the pure cooling draught that dripped from the gray rocks in the woods, which you had dreamed of all night, to your lips, and talked pleasantly of heaven, when your little feet seemed almost ready to step into death’s dark river, and you shrank trembling back from the hurrying waters? Who gave you the pleasant memories of childhood, that have stolen to your hearts as gently as the dew to the flower, through the long, long years, and brought light and joy to the darkest hour of your life? Name your price for these memories, and then I can tell you what you are accomplishing! What if God had said to your youngest, that pet one, with soft silken ringlets and rosy dimpled fat hand, who is catching at the buttons on your dress, “He is a little thing; I will not mind about his sight?” Think of those laughing, sparkling, “pretty, pretty eyes,” as you have said a hundred times, as sightless orbs; never again turning to liis little crib, to find him watching you from un der the soft laee; never starting from sleep as he clasps his arms around your neck, and raising your head from the pillow to catch a view in the clear moonlight of his loving eyes; never again joying at the glimpses of baby’s mind through the mind’s windows. What if God had said, “He is a little thing; I will not mind about his intellect!” Just look at your sweet baby laughing, cooing, forever touch ing, some chord of hope arid joy, and then clasp a soulless casket in your arms. His cheek is fair and delicately tinted, his hair golden as the sun beam, but his poor little mouth and eyes! No answering smile, no grieved look, no wondering glance, nothing but a vacant stare. Think of watching and yearning so for one look of intelli gence, and when you catch your breath with joy to think it is yours, have it end in a smile of mere muscle, a contortion of the lips. Oh 1 the disap pointment! the death of a loved one brings no sorrow like that! God, who said, “'Let there be light, and there was light,” has great and stupendous things be fore Him, but riot a sparrow falls to the ground without his notiee; and if a bird is worthy of his care, need mother complain that time, talents, strength must be given for comfort and training of the little ones, who each have a soul undying as eternity ? Perhaps when time passes, and those loved children go out from the maternal nest, and their hearts grow hard and callous in the battle of life, : some—-what you now think trifling, value less-act may: come back to them as a sweet memory, that will permeate the hard crust that is closing around them, and leave it open to all kind, pure influences. We cannot see the end from the beginning, so let us trust Him who can, and ac cept our work elieerfully, if it does debar us from entering into the achievement of what we are often tempted to think are the great deeds of life.—Ex change. THE PRAYEB-MEETING SIGN. It is well kriown to our citizens, that a Union Prayer-Meeting has been kept up for several years in this city, by the several religious denomina tions, and that they occupy a room on the corner of Gray and Main streets, where there is a modest sign out, with the inscription in bronzed or gold leaf letter, “ Union Prayer-Meeting Boom.” Not long since, some troops from one of the Cotton States were passing through the streets, looking at the town, and burning with indignation for the old defunct Union, could not bear to see a sign up with a word upon it that would call the Union to mind. They halted Hooked at it! swore by the God who made them, that “ that d—d thing must come down 1” One of the secession leaders of the town approached them and assured them that the allusion on the sign was not to the Federal Union, but to a Union of denominations. They very graciously permitted it to remain. We have heard of another instance in this county, in which & secessionist refused to let his children be taught lessoti at Sunday-school out ’ of certain books having k the title page tbe in scription “American Union. This is carrying hostilities tjfthe Union to a great length, ItisceH, GEN. SCOTT AN!

The Mississippi and the Atlantic onCe ours, the Southern States wouldjhave been compelled, by the natural and inevitaile pressure of events, to seek, by a return to the Union, escape from the ruin that would speedilf overwhelm them out of it. “This,” said lie, “yas my plan, But I am only a subordinate.

These gentlemen must take the responsibility of their acts, as I am will ing to take that of niinej. But they, must not throw their responsibility bn my .shoulders.” The following remarks; rnade on the floor of the. House of Representatives .on the Wednesday after the battle, will throw further light on the subject: f Mr. Richardson. —I repeat that Gen. Scott had been forced to fight (his battle. I will tell him what occurred yesterday morning. My col leagues (Logan and WA3hburne) and myself were present with the president, Secretary of War, and Gen. Scott. In the course of our con versation, Gen. Scott reniarked, “I am the big gest coward in the world.” I rose from my seat. “Stay,” said Gen. Scott;i “I.will prove it. 1 have fought the battle against my judgment, and 1 think the President ought to remove me to-day for doing it. As God is? my judge,” he added, after an interval of Mlehee, “I did all in my power to make the army efficient, and I deserve removal because I did not stand when I could, and did not.” I stand here to vindicate Gen. Scott. I am indebted to the gentleman from Missouri for the compliment he paid me, I de sire to say for myself that I am here the last of a generation, my father and grandfather having fallen beneath the flag of their country. I, too, have fought under Us folds at home and abroad, and, God willing, there I,will stand to the end of my life, defending it against all foes. Mr. .Washburne. —As my colleague has re ferrred to Gen. Scott’s 'remarks, he-might also allude to what the President said. Mr. Richardson.— do so. “ Your con versation implies,” said the President to Gen. Scott; “ that I forced you, to battle.” To which Gen. Scott replied, “I have never served under a President who has been kinder to me than you have been.” But Gen. Scott'did not relieve the President from the fact of the latter having forced him to fight the battle. Gen Scott thus paid a compliment to the President personally. TRIMMERS. There is one personage in his history, on whom Macaulay lingers with great affection, Halifax the Trimmer. We have little to urge against that illustrious, nobleman; but we believe he reflects in a very eminent manner the character of the his torian himself; it is very true, the man who con scientiously maintains his place in the temperate zone of polities and morals may ben most conscien tious upright man in most of the relations of life and in his relations to the government. It is not to be doubted that Halifax was perfectly conscien tious; ho adopted the epithet, the Trimmer, and published a tract in defence of the term full of beautiful and felicitous writing. Halifax occupied a very prominent and foremost position among the statesmen of his age, and his character stands among the highest; he isfae an eminently wary and cautious nobleman, tie had more purpose in his character, and a greater disposition to a politi cal'career than Horace Walpole, but he belonged to the same order of mind also as that represented by Chesterfield, the mind that leans to epicurean indulgence. Such men have no conceptions of inflexible andetcrnnl justice—they are exceedingly like Fielding’s celebrated hero, the philosopher Square—captivated and led by the “eternal fit ness of things,” which eternal fitness usually sig nifies the comfortable side of life. There is a goodness qf humor, and equanimity of temper, Knoxville Whig. nmis.

These men step forward upon state occasions, and their known caution of .character surrounds them with an immense prestige; there is no vulgar taint among them, there is no vulgar contact—earnest ness they never felt, yet they absolutely mean well—they are not mere time-servers, although they allow their characters to be rounded and modified by the time; you may on the whole rely upon them, but never if you advance to the neigh borhood of extremes.

You find this cha racter most in the parlors and drawing-rooms of easy eountry gentlemen; a large library in a shady park has a mighty tendency to produce this state of feeling; it is intense action, and a life passed in the neighborhood of it, that arouses to strong and passionate emotion, and to high hearted and high-minded resolve and principle; to sail upan-a-dolightful stream of reading, to walk -rourmthe ancestral farms and halls, may widen, the vision of the intellectual eye, they do not usually intensify the moral nature. LONDON TIMES’ CORRESPONDENT ON SLAVERY. On all faces there was a gravity which must be the index to serene contentment and perfect com fort, for those who ought to know best declare they are the happiest race in the world. It struck me more and more, as I examined the expression of the faces of the slaves all over the South, that deep dejection is the prevailing, if not universal, characteristic of the race. Let a physiognomist go and see. Here there were abundant evidences that they were well treated, for they had good clothing of its kind, good food, and a master who wittingly could do them no injustice, as he is, I am sure, incapable of it. Still, they all looked exceedingly sad, and even the old woman who boasted that she had held her old master in her arms when he was an infant, did not look cheerful, as the nurse at home would have done, at the sight of her ancient charge. The precincts of the hut were not clean, and the enclosure was full of weeds, in which poultry —the perquisites of the slaves — were in full possession. The negroes rear domestic birds of all kinds, and sell eggs and poultry to their masters. The money they spend in pur chasing tobacco, molasses, clothes and flour-whisky, their great delight, they must not have. Some seventy or eighty hands were quartered in this pars of the estate. The silence which reigned in the huts as soon as the fiddlers had gone off ho the sugar-house was profound. Before leaving the quarter, I was taken to the hospital, which was in charge of an old negress. The naked rooms con tained several flock beds on rough stands, and five patients, three of whom*were women. They sat listlessly on the beds, looking out into space; no books to amnse them, no conversation —nothing but their own dull thoughts, if they had any. They were suffering from pneumonia and swellings of the glands, of the neck; one man had fever. Their medical attendant visits them regularly, and each plantation has a practitioner, who is engaged by the term for his services. Negroes have now only a nominal value in the market—that, is, the price of a good field band is as high as ever, but there is no one to buy him at present, and no money to pay for him, and the trade of the'slave- ginia negroes constantly on sale." MonqyAdvanced on all descriptions of property,” &c., must be full —their pockets empty. ’This question of price is introduced incidentally in reference to the treat ment of negroes. It has often been said to me that no one will ill-use a creature worth £3OO or £4OO, but that is not a universal rule. Much de pends on temper, and inany a hunting-field eonld show that if value be a guarantee for good usage, the slave is more unfortunate than his fellow chat tel, the horse. If the growth of sugar cane, cotton and corn, be the great end of man’s mission on earth, and if all masters were like Gov. Roman, Slavery might be defended as a natural and ino cuous institution. Sugar and cotton are, assu redly, two great agencies in this latter world. The older got on well enough without them. I perceived that there are regular patrols and watchmen at night who look after levees and the negroes; a number of dogs are also loosed, but I am assured by a gentleman, who has written me a long letter on the subject from Montgomery, that these dogs do not tear the negroes; they are taught merely to catch and mumble them, to treat them as a retriever well broken uses a wild duck. Next day I left the hospitable house of Gov. Roman, full of regard for his personal character and of wishes for his happiness and prosperity, but assu redly in no degree satisfied that even with his care and kindness the “domestic institution” can be rendered tolerable or defensive, if it be onee conceded that the negro is a human being with a soul—or with the feelings of a man. On those points there are ingenious hypotheses, and subtle argumentations in print “down South,” which do much to comfort the consciences of the anthropopro prietors. The negrb skull won’t hold as many ounces of shot as the white man’s. Can there be a more potent proof that the white man has a right to sell and to own a creature who-carries a smaller charge of snipe dust in his head? He is plantigrade and curved as to the tibia! Cogent demonstration that he was made expressly to work for the arch-footed, straight-tibiad Caucasian. He has a rete mucosum and a colored-pigment. Surely, he cannot have a soul of the same color as that of an Italian ora Spaniard, far less of a flaxen-haired Saxon ! See these peculiarities in the frontal sinus—in sinciput or occiput! Can you doubt that the being with a head of that nature was made only to till, hoe, and dig for another race? Besides, the Bible says that he is a son of Ham, and prophecy must be carried out in the riee swamps, sugar canes, and maize fields of the Southern Confederation. It’s flat blasphemy to set yourself against it. Oar Saviour sanctions Slavery because he does not say a word against it, and it’s very likely that St. Paul was a slave-owner. Had cotton and sugar been known, he might have been a planter! Besides, the negro is civilized by being carried away from Africa and set to work, instead of idling in native inutility. What bopeis there of Christianizing the African races except by the agency of the apostles from New Orleans, Mobile or Charleston, who sing the sweet songs of Zion with such vehemence and clamor so fervently for baptism in the waters of the “Jawdam?” If these high physical, meta physical, moral and religious reasonings do not satisfy you, and you venture to be unconvinced and to say so, then I advise you not to come within reach of a mass meeting of our citizens, who may be able to find a rope and a tree in the neighbour hood. In Turret the new Saltan has taken some “won derful” steps in the outset of bis career. First, lie has abolished the harem or “seraglio,” which had such a sad influence npon his predecessor, as it has also long had upon ail classes in Turkey, and now keeps to himself only one wife. He has reduced his personal expenses from the 75,000,000 francs which his predecessor had to 12,000,000 francs fur himself. And be has ordered the jewels and other valuables of- the late Sultan to be sold for the payment of debts which had been so recklessly incurred by him for his personal gratifications. These steps are in the right direction; but they belongso much to the “new-broom” class of thingß, that we hardly dare indulge the thought of their long continuance. PopePiuNono, now the bitterchnmpion of-theo!d regime, was the grand Reformer in 1848. Napoleon; the Emperor now,' was once the very democratic and liberal President. Yet the world advances, and so may even a Turkish Sul tan, a Roman Pope, and a French Emperor. WATCH THE HEALTH OF YOTJB CHIL- Worms are a prolific source of sickness in children. They are seldom free from them, anil by their irritation all other diseases are aggravated. Convulsions, as well as St. Vitus’ Dance, have been superinduced by them, and death has resulted in extreme cases. Whenever the symptoms arc observed, such as disturbed sleep, grinding of the teeth, itching of the nose, weakness of the bowels, slow fever, variable appetite and fetid breath, should be resorted to without delay, ft is entirely harmless, is readily taken by children, effectually de stroys worms, and by its tonic action invigorates the whole system. It is prepared only by Da. D. Jayne & Son, 242 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. will be admitted that no better evidence of the great >1 rativc powers of this EXPECTORANT can be offered titan the grateful testimony of those who have been re stored to health by its use, and the wide-spread popu larity which, for so long a period, it has maintained in the face of alt corn petition, and which has created a con stantly increased demand for it in all parts of the world. As far as possible, this evidence is laid before the public from time to lime, until the' most skeptical will ac knowledge that for all pulmonary complaints, it is truly an invaluable remedy. RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS, PLEURITIC PAINS, &c., are quickly and effectually cured by its dia phoretic, soothing amt expectorant power. ASTHMA it always cures. It overcomes the spasmo dic contraction of the air vessels, and by producing free expectoration, at once removes all difficulty of breathing. BRONCHITIS readily yields to the Expectorant. It subdues the inflammation which extends through the wind tubes, produces free expectoration, and suppresses at once-the cough and pain. CONSUMPTION.—For tbisTnsidious and fatal disease, no remedy on earth has ever been found so effectual. It subdues the inflammation,—relieves the cough and pain,—removes the difficulty of breathing and produces an easy expectoration, whereby alt irriiating and ob structing matters are removed from the lungs. WHOOPING COUGH ispromptly relieved by this Ex pectorant. It shortens the duration of the disease one half, and greatly mitigates the suffering of the patient. In all PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, in CROUP, PLEURISY, Sic., it will be found to be prompt, safe, pleasant and reliable,and maybe especially commended to Ministers, Teachers and Singers, Tor the relief of Hoarseness, and for strengthening the organs of the voice.

DAY, Missionary of the Baptist Board, at Nellore, India, w' ites : « By the use of your Expectorant my Cough and Sore Throat are now well. I find, occasionally, an un pleasant sensation in my throat, as if mneus had lodged 'here, but your Expectorant usually relieves it by two or three applications.” REV. J. R. COFFMAN, of Winfield, Tuscarawas eo., Ohio, writes: — «One bottle of Jayne’s Expectorant, cured my daughter Of Lung Fever, after having been beyond the hope of recovey.
