184 lilt twit Citat. Freedom. BY WILLIAM 0. BRYANT THE following lines, written some years ago, derive a new force from the terrible trials of our day, through which the nation has to pass to se cure and perpetuate its freedom—: 0 Freedom I thou art not, as poets dream A fair young girl, with light and delicate limbs, And wavy tresses gushing from the cap With which the Roman master crowned his slave, When he took off the gyves. A bearded man, Armed to the teeth, art thou. One mailed hand. Grasps the broad shield, aud one the sword; thy brow, Glorious in beauty though it be, is scarred With tokens of old wars; thy massive limbs Are stronff a with struggling. Power at thee has launched His bolts, and with his lightnings smitten thee. They could not quench the life thou hast from heaven. Merciless Power has dug thy dungeon deep, And his swart armorers by a thousand fires Have forged thy chains; yet, while he deems thee bound, The links are shivered, and the prison walls Fall outward. Terribly thou apringest forth, As springs the flame above a burning pile, And shontest to the nations, who return Thy shoutings, while the pale oppressor flies. Thy birthright was not given by human hands; Thou wert t'in-born with man. In pleasant fields, While yet our race was few, thou sat'st with him, To tend the quiet flock, and watch the stars, And teach the reed to utter simple airs. Thou by his side, amid the tangled wood, Didet 'war upon the'panther and the wolf= Your only foes; and thou with him didst draw The earliest furrows on the mountain side, Soft with the Deluge. Tyranny himself, • Thy enemy, although of reverend look, Hoary with many years, and far obeyed, Is later born than thou; and as he meets The grave defiance of thine elder eye, The uenrimr tremble in his fastnesses. Thou shalt wax stronger with 'the lapse of years, But he shall fade into a feebler age— Feebler, yet subtler. He shall weave his.snares, And spring them on thy careless steps, and clap. His withered hands,. and from .their ambush call His hordes to fall upon thee. He shall send Quaint maskers, forms of fair and gallant mien, To catch thy gaze, and uttering graceful words To charm thy ear; while his 'sly imps by stealth Twine round thee threads of steel-light thread on thread That grow to fetters—or bind down thy arms With chains concealed in' chaplets. 0 ! not yet Mayst thou unbrace thy corsiet, or lay by Thy sword, nor yet, 0 freedom I close thy lids In slumber; for thine enemy never sleeps, And thou must watch and combat till the day Of the new earth' and heaven. HOW JOHNNY WADE GOT FOUND OUT. " OVSR the ridge,. back of the mill, the beechnuts are just as thick as spatters," said Johnny Wade. Sure enough they. were. The winds, which had robbed the forest trees of their, wealth of of gold and crimson foli age, had also scattered a harvest of the dain ty, three-sided, little nuts, all through the beds of crisp leaves. The squirrels were having a fine time of it. Every stone wall was alive with them ; and they were all, ac cording to Johnny, "just as fat as butter." No tender-hearted mother could refuse to let her boy ga after beechnots, when they were "as thick as spatters ;" so it was set tled, as early as Monday morning, that Johnny was to go on the next Saturday af ternoon, provided it was pleasant. Johnny was a bright, chunky, well-looking lad of thirteen. He was better than a great many boys of his age ; but not so good as he might have been, as my story will prove. He loved out of door life, as much as he hated confinement. One snuff of fresh air would set him to frisking like a young colt. He had been dirty and ragged ever since he could creep. Cloth would not stick to him, but mud would. Everybody liked him ; and everybody expected Johnny Wade to be out at the elbows, and have a rent in his trow sers. He never went through a gate or pair of bars, when he could juMp over the fence ; nor passed by a good sized tree, without a cloth-tearing spring or two at it. No wonder then that a holiday was so de lightful to him; that his young blood bound ed thought of one whole day of fun and frolic. He watched the weather narrowly through the week ; and all the way up to Friday, the sun sthiled benignantly on his plans. Little bags of imaginary beechnuts got strewn amongst his books ; and visions of well-stored squirrels' nests, intefered sadly, with some of his school affairs. Friday night cams at last, cool and fair ; but with a circle around the moon, which Bridge; told Johnny rooked very much like • rain. ‘t 4 The' old fool," muttered Johnny; but went to bed feeling a little.uncomfortable asi to his morrows prospects. He was waked up in the night by the dismal pattering of rain storm against, his windows. " It's a burning shame,' exclaimed Johnny, " go if it rains guns," and worked himself into such a fret, that he did not get to sleep again until almost morning. When he awoke, the sun, was streaming Erightly across his bed ; ; and the room looked as warm and cheery as in a glad day of June. " Only a shower after all. I - shall go now," wild Johnny ; and, hopped out of bed, and got ready for breakfast much quicker than he -ought to have done. The rest of the family had eaten long, before ; and. Johnny hardly stopped to taste his rather cold fare, so intent was he upon his purpose. "Get my thick boots and my'mittens, and a quart, and a great bag, and a lunch," he shouted in one breath, to. Bridget. "I must say you're a nice young man, to be after ordering me about at this rate. So get 'em yerself will ye," exclaimed the in dignant Bridget.. Johnny flew in a passion at once; and fell upon her rather sharply with his tongue.. Just then his mother made her appearance at the door, and bade him come into the par lor: " No beechnutting to-day my son," said Mrs Wade ' after she had properly re buked him. '"Why not ?" asked Johnny, sulkily. " Because the ground is thOrough ly drenched with water; you have already a hard cold, and you will be liable to add to it by hindling the wet leaves." Johnny did not teaze. He knew that it would be of no avail, for his mother always meant what she said. But for all that his submission was only a show. That two miles excursion had been as dear a project to him as a tour to Europe might have been to a middle-aged brain. His heart was fierce with disap pointment. "I'll go, I'll be hanged / if I won't," he muttered, walking up , to the window. Out from the window he fiaw,, gilded with sun' shine, the grove, which had been the El Do rado of his weekday visions. His mother . sat near by, quietly sewing. "Hard-heart ed, cross as a, hear, whispered Johnny. The sunshine, in the distant grove beckoned to him, and the hared beech twigs told of stores beneath. " Yes ' I'll go," he said a second time and looked very wicked and wilful. He did. go; went in this wise. He asked his mother to let him call over to kurse Wil son's who lived in a little cottage, half a mile away. To this she readily consented ; and gave him a warm pair of hose to carry to her. Johnny did his errand stopped a little while with the old lady, arid then stole through by paths down to the grove. The beechnuts were as thick as 'ever, "as thick as spatters ;" but Johnny did not en joy the:sight of them as much as he expect ed. None orthe boys, whom he had invited were there—the leaves were wet and dirty— he had nothing-but his handkerchief to put his nuts in ; ; amd, then he was so lonely, so very lonely. Every time the leaves rustled, or a twig broke, he started and looked around, as if he were afraid; and altogether he acted as if he was beginning to be heart ily sorry for whathe was about. He worked briskly, however, and before long, with the help of a squirrel's hoard, had gotten togeth er a couple of quarts—as many as his hand kerchief could hold. But dear me, what, a time he had getting them home. He could not carry them into the house, and he did hot know where to put them. The way of the transgressor is hard. Well, finally, he' left them behind some cur rant bushes, in the garden, until after tea, when he slipped :out, Ind managed to smug le them into his own own room. He ans wered all his mother's questions about Nurse Wilson, and went to bed undetected. Bilt he could not sleep. He was a liar, and had that hateful bundle of beechnuts, under his bed. What could he do with, it ? It must not stay there, for Bridget would find it in the morn ing. He lay awake a lono- b while, planning and contriving, when a thought struck him, that he could tuck it away under the eaves of the garret So his guilty conscience waked him up very early the 'nex . ..,t morning'; and he stole by twilight, with his bag of beechnuts, up into the garret, where he hid it away un der the eaves. Do you suppose his troubles were ended , then ?-By no means. I do . not , know how much that bundle of beechnuts weighed- at first; but this I am sure of, that it kept growing heavier and heavier, by, arithmeti cal ratio, until it weighed a gieat many tons upon. Johnny's heart. Re 'did not know where to put them at first ; and the he,did not know what to do with them. He could not eat them for they were bitter with the remembrance of a great sin. There they lay snugly stowed away,,under the garret eaves, out of the'sight of every eye bdt ()ie. John ny never went near them, but' he felt;that they were there ; and their weight, togethnr with the hard cough he. had gotten in the cold woods, made him a sorry boy indeed. , Johnny lacked moral courage, it was hard for him to say no, and harder still for him to confess a fault. ; So he lived two whole weeks weighed down with a terrible biirden. I"cannot say that he would not have con fessed before long. I knop he Would seine time, for he was the child of many prayers, and held in his wayward heart a host•of,no ble traits. Be this as it may, Provide i nce found him out in a curious way. ' k "The mice are making themselves v ry t merry over something in the garret," rema k ed Mrs. Wade, one morning at the break t ast table. " I cannot imagine what they an find there to eat. I must go up and see." Johney's cheek tingled. His biscut almost choked him. My beechnuts, thought he, I must get them down some time to-day. He did not get a chance before school, and L will assure you he did not learn his lesson& very welt thatforenoon. Indeed he had been falling hack in his classes ever since thatsfa-, tal Saturday. His teacher reprimanded him, and Johnny went home terribly out of humor. , As soon as he opened the parlor door„ , he saw that something had happened. His mother's eyes were red with weeping, and his father, who was sitting by, looked very sober. " Come here my son," said Mrs. Wade. Johnny w ent"up to her, like a criminal. "Are these yours ?" she asked, taking from her workbasket a newspaper full of beech nut shells; and shreds of white cotton. " Yes ma'am," faltered Johnny. The little mice had, found-his beechnuts, and scattered their shells all over the garret floor ; and gnawed his hankerchief into bits. His sin had found him out. . . ' - Nor do I think Johnny was sorry. He had suffered so much alr4dy, he was obit to be brought near his dCar mother once more, even through the painful confession;of false hood and disobediinca.--Student and SAM mute. THE MOWING MAINE AND THE 808, , ' ' THE following letter from the coma' ry ap pears in the, Indepenctert. It is doubtlesS from the pen of, the editor, Rev. H. W. Beecher : As I write, the birds; are holding forth in musical babble, the children are chirping about, and various sounds of Tabor are giving base' to these lighter sounds. There goes Mr. Turner, on his mowing-machine, riding like a prince in his chariot. , :It isone of Al len's best, and good enougb. Two great white horses walk off with it Rode like a prince, did I say ? Why not ? Every blade of grass bows down to him as he dies. The daisies fall before him. Red 4; timothy, blue grabs, red clover, coreopsis; and other chance weeds, make obeisance to him, as round and round . the lothe rides in stitte, king of grass and grain I It is a strangeiTictory over the meadow thatiswrought out by mow ing-machines ! The poetry of the 'timer is all dashed. The musical whetting of his scythe is over. He is turned off into corners were the machine cannot go, and whacks- up the tangled and lodged spots. Once, haying time was the agony of the year. The farmer was held a t the mercy of men and weather. Now, what cares he for men ? His machine epitoplizes ten men at the wages of one and a pair of horses. He holds ten acres in the palm of his hand. I follow with quick steps the rattling, clat tering machine. The long scissors-knife is hidden in the grass. The swath is cut ap parently without an instrument. The . grass rolls over toward the machine as if it Were a fluid, and followed the wake of the machine as waves roll astern of steam-boats. The air is cool and bright. The grass is wet with yesterday's rain and night dew. It sparkles with million drops of water winking at the sun. I like labor ! Haying, especially, is very pleasant ! It does not tire me to walk on this smooth-cut path, nor to look at the nimbly upset grass, nor to rejoice to see that villainous stalk of dock , and that ohttorment of a thistle snapped up in a twinkling and. ,A0t.C.X.i.,f41,4 - V4:O - 'll - - 11...'ir i4it ‘a.4d... -0%,1..-0,e.e•:.t,v_4,..#4.'t:1;i-0,:... pitched into the swath without a root. Alas ! I fear that there is a root. If the stalk shall never find it again, I fear that I shall ! These insidious burrowing, creeping, ramifying, spreading, climbing, prOpagating, and immor tal thistle-roots I—oh, why were they not put on the gladiolus, or the larkspur, or on some tender flower of much glory, ;whose hold on life we anxiously watch and nurse What tough roots evil has in this world, while good ness can hardly be made to hold on to, the soil ! Here is a Mrs. Bobolink, who has sailed around me for the last ten minutes, alighting on the ground, with nervous tilting of tail and, half flutter of wings. Now she, springs into the, air, and sails to yonder apple-tree. Her black and white draped husband sits waiting for her. There is. evidently a nest hidden in this grass, and younglings ! Poor thing, your wiles and arts are now all against you. You 'would draw me away from the right spot; when you should show it tome. I would pro tect it. ,A stake and a little grove of grass should remain to hide your young till they can fly. But, now ? I cannot imagine where the little brood, hides, and all your running and flying, and jumping' from one blade of grass to another, and, trillings and exclama tions, serve only to make the doom inevita ble ! See the inexorable machine is coming'! It spares nothing. Tell me, is the' nest along the edge ? It, will shear a yard'a depth clase. Fool! to sit on that twig singing "pitt-ee;" "pitt-ee!" I know it is ,;a pity, but it can't be helped, if you, will not show. me! You think I have a prejudice against your husband because he wears a black coat! None in the world ! It is because he ,changes his coat that I blame him ! Here he comes to the North, in May, with a black - coat faced with whiter a great friend of both races, and fa mous in his public prelections. To hear him discourse you would think him a very en thusiastfor liberty ! He sings on the wing. Few birds do that. That may be called im provisation, He cannot hold his peace. Out of the abundance of his heart he singeth, and can lose no time. And yet, no sooner has he reared hie family of bobolinks, amid Northerninstitu tions, than off he goes to the rice swamps of Carolina, and the reeds and fens of the South west, and changes, his coat—not a feather of black left, but a russet brown—changes his voice, and. his very name—and, as a sober rice. bird, conforths to the society of Southern latitude& Where are all', your high-flown ,speeches now`?—for' shame on you! But, my dear Mrs. Bobolink, I don't blame you. You stick to your colors, North and South. I believe that you are a dutiful, faithful, and affectionate Wife, and I would take holdand, help you out of this danger', and all the little future turncoats in your nest, if you will stop your deluding ways, and come right to the point. kor the last time, I ask you, where are. they ? It is too late ! Even. While I was expostu lating to you, the blade had -cut sheer across the, nest, and left you desolat& You know it, I see. Your flutter is stopped. You'are mute. I aim sorry for you. But you are not alone in your misery. Just so are we poor wretches.cut doviti'every day by inexorable laws that come driving right along over hidden nests The great globe itself is but a huge rolling machine that shears off to the very root*myriada of plans and hopes. Tjme carries' n unwhetted beam of knives, that seem never to grow dull by shearing all things. Men and cities, and nations and generations go clown before it, and there is no escape. And did you expect, O poor birdie, to escape ? Men have no ad vantage over you. They, too, are made de solate as in a moment. Nay ; you will for get your trouble by to-morrow. Your trou bles are only for a day. One sleeP , will brood on you, and you wilt be well. Alas ! men's sorrows will not cure so easily. Time cures some Some it nourishes and increases. There is but one hospital, in which all can get well. It is the grave. All are healed there of whatever ill they had. A LAALB ON THE BATTLE F 1 ON the battle-field at Landing Pittsburg,. „ as:a flock of sheep. During the battle the lock :became scattered; most of them being :,ither killed or lost in the Surrounding . woods Among them was & little lanab not many Weeks old, whose mother was among the losand missing after the hattle. It was the gni one of the flock seen by our, army 1 on tie ground where the two armies had fougt. The old sheep, frightened by the noise of, battle, the firing of miigketry and cannon, ;ran away. But this little lamb when it had lost its mother, returned , to the pas ture Whe# the flOok had been folded and led by its owner. It was on a field where litany had fallen in bkttle, and where they now lie buried in a soldier's grave, each with` only a small board atthe head, containing the name, age, regiment; and company of the dead, with the time of his, death. Here this little, lost lamb was, seen wandering around from day'to day, all alone and. crying for its mother,, but no mother answered:its cry. . 'When night came, it would try, to find some Warn', -place to-lie down in till morning; perhaps.outhe lee side, . s sailors say, of a fence, or stump, or clump .f bushes, where the wind did not blow. . During &lard rain storm it came to the i oor of my tent,. and, hleating very .mourn ft ly, aaked, as well as it could, if it might coine in and stay' there through the storm.' uch a request could not be refused, and the ittle, cold, shivering lamb was provided with a warm place in the corner of the tent.. But fit seemed Uneasy. It was in a strangelblace and among strangers, and so I prepared for it a' shelter outside the tent, under some can vas, in a place by itself. Ileie it remained until after the ,storm, and then went away to get something to eat. After this, the lamb found n a shelter under the eaves of a cOrn-crib; where it came for a while to he down at night.. This was its home. It was in:a, small field or lot, where there was plenty of fresh , green grass, on which it fed during the day. liffere; after the lamb became tame, I used to visit the little lost creature, carrying some nice green spring oats to it for its breakfast, dinner, or supper. After a few days, this lamb began to gain strength. When first seen it was very weak, but now it. began to , grow strong, and run, and jump, ,and frisk about in play. Near by this green pasture is a, clear, never-failing spring, where this little lamb used to drink when thirsty, and then return again to feed or lie down in the fresh grass. The last time I saw the creature, he was ly ing down on the sunny side of a large stump, after his morning meal, quietly chewing his cud, and seemingly happy and contented with his new home. : Fortunate lamb, thought I, war made-you- suffer but for a ruoment„vlt makes man a mourner for a, life—parentalor their sons, wives for their husbands.—lnde , pendent • inellautoto. HAYTI. , SENATOR SumNER has sent us a copy of his speech .upon the recognition of Hayti and Liberia, delivered in the Senate 'April ‘ 23d. The bill was posed by that body the next day and by the House June 3d. We extract a few passages from the Senator's speech upon Hayti : "Hayti is one of the most beautiful and im portant, islands in the world, pnssessing re markable advantages in, size, situation, cli mate, soil, productions and mineral wealth. It is about three hundred and thirty-eight miles in length from east to west, and in breadth, from north to south, :varies from one hundred and forti-five:.miles to seven teen. Its circumference, without including bays, measures eightthundred and forty eight miles. Its surfa;ce,. exclusive of adja -1 Bent islands, is -estima ed at, thirty thousand . . five hundred and twen y-eight.square miles, being about the area f Ireland.. In size it is so considerable a to attract attention among the islands of he world. In situa tion it is commanding being at' the entrtinee to the. Gulf of Mexic and within easy'reach of all the islands there'. In cliMate f it is' sal ubrious, with its` natural , heaats= tempered by 'sea breezes. , In soilfrifis rich with tropical luxtiriance ; various Iti mountains aii'd plains; watered by v.onariversi and dotted with. akes. In prod tions; it is'abundant beyond even the ord 'ary meaSure of such favored regions. Th mountains yield Ma hogany; satinwood ; . d ligrannvitm, while the plains yield all ""t le bountiful returns of 'the tropics, including banatas,_oranges,pine apples; coffe, cocoa, rigar,. indigo, and cot ton. Among the mi brals are gold, silver, platinum, mercury, opper, iron, sulphur, and several kinds Eof ecious stones. Such, in brief, is the phy 'cal character of this wonderful island, w . ch, like Ireland, is a gem of the sea. * * * * * "Originally discOmred by Christopher Columbus, Wholiamed it- Hispaniola, or little Spain, this island waifor a long time among the most valued possessions of from which :; Power it . pass to-France. ihrow iug off the Government of the latter country, it has for nearly sixty years maintained its in dependeneq,4f"P thp ,vanid, and performed honorably all its antics in the.; family ofni tions. The republic' Of Hayti once embra ced ,the whole of the isbad. _At Tresent it occupies, a. ,portion only, with a population of six hundred thousand souls. * .* " Hayti, in the exports which she receives from us, stands next to Russia. The exports to Hayti are, $2,673,682,• while -those to Russia amount to $2,744,2f9. Bat the im ports from Hayti are $2 ; 062,723, while thoSe from Russia, are ,only $1,532,190. In the number of vessels employed Hayti is much the most important to r us, Only 88 vessels are,employed bet Ween the United States and Russia, while 490 veSsels, with correspond, 7 lug ;tonnage, are employed between the Uni ted States- and Hayti. So that, in thoim portance of commercial , relations, Hayti stands above Russia, where we have always been represented .:"by a minister plenipoten tiary of the highest class, with, a,secretary of legation and have at, this moment no less than eight consuls besides. - * * * "The exports to Austria, (including Ven ice,) where we are represented by "a ; minister plenipotentiary of the first class, with a Bee retary, of legation, andfour consuls, are less than one half of our exports to Hayti, while the numbtr shipsin this commerce is only 45, being 450 less than in our commerce with Hayti. The exports to Peru, where we are represented also by a minister of the first class, with a secretary 'of legation and five consuls, are still less than those to Austria." " Hayti in this scale of commerce and navigation, stands above SWeden, Tnrkeh Central America-, Portugal, the Papal States, Japan, Denmark, ~ Prussia, and tcuador, where we are represented by ministers resi dent.- It also stands above the SandwiCh Islands, where we are represented by a Coin naisSioner. Out of these countries` there are several whose= 'united commerce with the Uni ted States is inferior to that of Hapi. This is the case with Turkey, Portugal, Denmark; and Prussia, whick f altogether do not equal try. * •* • *- • * * * Hayti in conitherCi4Ad latiOns withnur un- " Our exports to, Turkey . in Europe and -Turkey in Asia <combined are; nearly two millions less than to Hayti; and yet, with this Mohammedan Government we have felt it important within a few weeks to,negetiate a treaty of comniorce. * * , ,* "Perhaps. the Comparison betwee Hayti and the Islands is the Mak, instruc tive. Both are islands, independent in gov ernment' Hayti has;a population of 600,000 the Sandwich Islands have a population of little more than .70,000. The exports to Hayti, as we have already seen, are $2;673,- 382, while the.exports to the Sandwich Is lands are only $748,462. And the difference an navigation is as great In commerce with Hayti there are 489 ships, with anuggregate of 82,360 tons, while in commerce with the Sandwich Islands there are, only 85 ships, with an aggregateof 35,368. tons. And yet, at the Sandwich. Islands, with this inferior commerce, and 4.fe,rior navigation, we are represented by;a.cimunissioner, with a salary of $7,500, , one consul .with a,salaryef $4OOO, another 'consul with a, salary of ,$3OOO, and still another who is paid by fees." DANIEL WEBSTER ,ON OBLIGATIO?I. A FEW years before his death, the great statesman of New England, having, a large party of ,friends diningwith him at Marsh field, was called on ;by' one of the party, as they became seated at the table, to speci fy what one thing he had met within his life which had done most ferlilin,:er'eentri hated most effectually to the success Of his personal history. ;After `:a moment, he re plied,—" The most triiitfal and elevating fluence I have ever seemed to meet has'been my impression' of obligation to God " Pre cisely in what - manner the benefit , 'was sup- posed to accrue I am` not informed;-proba bly; howeier, as an influence that raised, the pitch of his minacgave balance and clear , ness to big judgments,, and' set him'cn mo ral -footing in his ideas "aid principles; such as certified his, consciousness as a speaker, and added insight; and energy to his words. Whatever may have been the partiatilar benefits of which he spoke, the scene, as des cribed by one present, was one most impres sive in‘ita dignity. He dropped the knife, as, if turned to some better hospitality, and went on for many minutes in. a discourse on his , theme, unfolding it With wonderful.beau ty and freshness: Theluests were , taken by surprise; =and sat listening with. intense won der at tke exposition he Was making, aud , still more at the subdued, yet lifted, manner, by which his feeling was attested,—agreeing generally, as they fell into little groups af terward, that he probably never, spoke with a finer eloquence.-11: Bushnell; aditirtiot tido. 1862.
