TIME AND ETEENITY.
It is not Time that flies;
’Tis we; ’tiß we are flying:
It is not life that dies;
'Tis we; 'tis we, are dying.
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.”

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-

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.

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

lived long enough to know that human resentment
is a very bad foundatipn for a public policy; and
these gentlemen will live long enough to learn it
also. I shall do what I ain ordered. I shall fight

not hold me responsible. These gentlemen must
take the responsibility of their acts, as I am will

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.

struggles against tyranny and oppression; but
they are far removed from the grandeur of Roman

Christian principle; they have no passions to im

fitness and expediency, hence, you will seldom be

Buecess by worldly considerations. 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 must not indeed ex
pect a consistency shaped from the loftiest model,
such a, 'consistency Would be inconsistent indeed
with that character; they do not deal in convic

thing, nor arc they guided by conscientious scru
ples, for they cannot understand them, and they
will sneer at yours; but unable morally to appre
ciate them, intellectually and civilly they will
make an allowance for them. 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

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 &

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

American and Foreign Bibee Society, writes: —
“Having given Dr. D. Jayne’s medicines a trial in my
own family, and some of them personally, Ido not hesi
tate to commend them as a valuable addition to our
materia medico. The EXPECTORANT especially I con
sider of Inestimable value, and I know that it is highly
esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the mo A
respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine.”

Board of Foreign Missions, writes:—
“Your EXPECTORANT has been Administered with
the most happy results, and I feel assured I never used
an article of medicine that produced a more sure aind

mended.”
Rev. John Dowling, D.D., Pastor of the Bcrean Bap

“ T have long known the virtues of your EXPECTO

when afflicted with coughs or colds. I believe it to be
one of the best remedies ever discovered for these mala
dies.” l:
Rev. N. M. Jones, Rector of Church of St. Bartholo-
Epis.,) Fhilada., writes:—

without relief. I was persuaded to get your EXPEC
TORANT and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using them
she was restored to a good degree of health.”

REV. SAMUEL S. 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. During the attack she had anumber
of ednvuisions. She Is now perfectly well.”

THOUGH THE remote or primary causes of SKIN
DISEASE may be various, as IMPURITY OF THE
BLOOD, LIVER COMPLAINT, SCROFULA, Ac., &c.,
yet the immediate cause is always the same, and that is
an obstruction in the pores of the skin, by which the
perspiration, in its passage from the body, is arrested and
confined in and tinder the skin, causing an intolerable
itching, or an eruption of Pimples, Pustules, Ringworm,
Tetter, Salt Rheum, &c., Ac. For ail these affections,
has been found an invaluable remedy, as it removes both
the primary as well as the immediate causes—purifying
the Blood, curing the Liver Complaint, and effectually
eradicating Scrofula horn the system, while, at the same
time, it frees the pores of their obstructing matters, and
heals the diseased surface. ' .

Gentlemen: —We have recovered the Herring’s
Patent Champion Safe, of your make- which we bought
from you nearly five years ago, from the ruins of our
building, No. 716 Chestnut street, which was entirely
destroyed by fire on the morning of the 17th inst.
So rapid was the progress of the flames, before we
could reach the store, the whole interior was one mass
of fire. The Safe being in the back part of the store,
and surrounded bv the most combustible materials, was
exposed to great heat., 11-fell with tbe wa'ls of that
part of tbe building into the cellar, and remained im
bedded in the ruins for more than thirty hours.
The Safe was openetl this morhing in the presesce of
a number of gentlemen, and the .contents, comprising
our books, bills, receivable money, and a large amount
of valuable papers, are all safe; not a thing was touched
by fire.
.Respectfully, yours,
