Dark as tneiclouds of even,
Ranked in the western heaven,
Wailing the bLUj|W»k lifts
All the dread drifts ,
Tempest anJMMfw»ad-
Over a ruined W;
. So still and orderly,
Arm to arm, knee to knee,,
Waiting the great event,
Stands the black regiment.
Down the long dusky line
Teeth gleam and eyeballs shine;
And the bright bayonet,
Bristling and firmly set.
Flashed with a purpose grand,
Long ere the sharp commaud
Of the fierce rolling drum
Tdd them their time had come,
Told them what work was'sent
For the black regiment, ,
“ Now,” the flag-sergeant cried,
“ Though death and hell betid b,
Let the whole nation see
If we are fit to be ?
Free in this land ; or bound
Down, like the whining hound—
Bound with red stripes of pain
In our old chains again I-"
Oh, what a shout there went
From the black regiment I
“ Charge !” Trump and drum awoke,
Onward the bondmen broke;
Bayonet and sabre-stroke
Vainly opposed their rush.
Through the wild battle’s orush,
With but one thought aflush,
Driving their lords like chaff,
In the guns’ mouths they laugh j .
Or at the slippery brands
Leaping with open hands; <
Down they teaur man and horse,
Down in their awful course ;
Trampling with bloody heel
Over the crashing steel,*
All their eyes forward bent, . ,
Rushed the black regiment.
“ Freedom 1 ” their battle-cry— '
“ Freedom l or leave to die !”
Ah ! and they meant the wold,
Not as with us’tis heard, / .
Not a mere party-shout:
They gave their spirits out;
Trusted the end to God,
And on the gory sod ,
Rolled in triumphant blood.
Glad to strike one free blow,
Whether for weal or woe;
Glad to breath one free breath,
Though on the lips of death.
Praying—alas ! in vain 1—
That they might fall again,
So they could once more see t
That burst to liberty I
This was what “freedom" lent'
To the black regiment.
Hundreds on hundreds fell p
But they are resting well;
Scourges and shackles strong:
Never shall do them wrong.
Oh, to the living few,
Soldiers, be just and true! ~
Hail them as comrades tried ;
Fight with them side by side ;
Never, in field or tent,
Scorn the black reiiiment!

THE TWO RIYAtS;
OR ?'■
THE COMIPOSITIOH PRIZE.
Less than fifty years ago, in a young la
dies’ school not far from the city of Boston,
a prise was offered by the trustees for the
best original composition which should be
read by the graduating, class.at the approach
ing; annual examination; The class consist
ed of only twelve young ladies. Not more
than five of these dared entertain any hope
of the offered reward; and of this 1 small
number, there were two, whose rare gifts in
writing, seemed to render the hopes of the
remainder quite presumptuous.
Between Alice Carlton and Jane Bradford,
it was- generally conceded lay the 'prize,—
an elegant edition, in green and gold, of one
of our best standard poets. Alice and Jane
were the twf best scholars in the class ; of
nearly equal mental powers; afld, of Course
often rivals for school honors. The contest
between them would have been closer, 1 and
the rivalry more constant, had Alice posses
sed the external advantages with Which Jane
was favored. But their outward circum
stances differed widely. Jane was blessed
with excellent health,with a competence, and
a large circle of appreciating friends. Alice
was the only child of a widowed mother,
poor, and among strangers: and oh {' severer
trial still, was in feeble health apd hopeless
ly deformed. Yet the lamp of genius burn
ed brightly ; and often beguiled her', fond
mother into momentary forgetfulness of the
thin, sallow face, the stooping form, and
painfully rounded shoulders of her darling.
Something more and better than external
fortune gave Jane popularity among her com
panions : she had a, very sweet snd obliging
disposition. Alice was perhaps as good
tempered by nature as Jane. But her own
and her mother’s struggles with misfortune,
and her hitter personal trials had made her
reserved and unsocial: and, being misunder
stood by her schoolmate, she was often call
ed cross and disobliging. Yet all acknow
ledged her superior talents: and when the
composition prize was offered, and Alice Was
known to be writing for it, many of Jane’s
friends feared for their favorite.
Jane herself had only one strong motive
for desiring success; and that was to gratify
her father. He was very proud of his daugh
ter; and having always given her the best
advantages, was naturally desirous that she
should excel all others. Yet Jane was not
so fond of study for its own sake as Alice was.
The latter had always delighted in it; and
looked forward to it as her chief resource un
der the deprivations which she felt her in
firmity would always impose. But when her
father’s sudden bankruptcy and death {about
two years previous to our history) had left
herself and mother nearly destitute, Alice
eagerly pursued her studies, as affording the
only probable means of future support. And
to excel in composition was her special de
sire—her darling hope ; since authorship, if
it brought her less certain and ample remu
neration than teaching, would favor that se
clusion which she felt to be essential to her
tranquility.
Alice’s mother was more anxious, if possi
ble, than Alice herself, that she should gain
the prize at the approaching examination.
And this arose from no excess of ambition
or maternal pride. She knew the secret of
her daughter’s mental efforts, although Alice
seldom spoke of it; and she saw that she of
ten suffered from despondency and a morbid
self-distrust. Consequently, she craved for
her child the encouragement and self-confi
dence which a successful prize essay would
he sure to gife, '
The important day arrived, and Derrick
Hall \va3 crowded to its utmost capacity by
the friends and patrons of the Derrick Insti
tute, to witness its annual exhibition. After
the proficiency of the pupils had been suf-/
ficientlv tested in other, branches of study,
the compositions were'called for. Each of ;
the five writers fdr the prize was to read her .
owp article in turn, as arranged by the? prin- ;
cipal; Jane and Alice coming; last in order.
iThe young ladies who preceded Jane had
very respectable pieces; but they did not
read them well, and of course made a feeble
impression. ‘ Jane,, however, was an uncom
monly good reader; her clear voice, correct
distinct,, enunciation, greatly en
ihancing the merits of her essay, and elicit-
Sing marked applause.
i It was now Alice’s turn; but when her
name was called; 'she did not rise. The poor
jgirl had been greatly disturbed from the out
let by the thought of facing the unwelcome
jgaze of the crowd; but her own convictions,
las well as her ‘mother's assurances thttt she
(had subceeddd well in writing her piece, had
'helped to conquer her reluctance to read it.
Just as Jane had concluded, however,., and
resumed 'her seat, and Alice was about to
rise, a cruel whisper from one in the' seat
behind the latter, reached her ear. It was
addressed to Jane, and theiwhisperer said :
‘‘ You’re .sure'of the''prize, Miss Bradford;'
What can that miserable hump-back do? I
should think she’d be ashamed to be seen.”
Jane turned her head to frown upon the
rude and thoughtless speaker; and was shock
ed to see that the cruel words had been heard
by Alice Carlton, and had , cut her to the
heart. A deep flush, succeeded by a deadly
paleness, swept across the sallow face of poor '
Alice, and when ,her name was called, she
did not attempt to rise. Theteacher has
tened to her, and in a tow voice tried to per
suade her to read her manuscript. But she
burst into tears, and crushing the paper in
her hand, said; “ I cannot^—l cannot—it is no
•matter—l shall never try again!” ,
Jane’s gentle heart was deeply pained.'
She whispered to her mates earnestly,
“ Some of ns ought to read her piece for her.
I’m sure she has written a good one,”
“It would be no kindness to her, poor
; thing,” “ Not one of us could read it decent
ly before alb these people, unless it is your
self; and tliat might lessen your own. chance
for the prize: for Alice Carlton is a good
writer.”
“No such motive ought to hinder me, or
shall,” replied Jane ; and with a new light
in her eye, and a generous glow upon her
cheek, she moved quickly to the side of the
weeping girl.
“ Alice,” she softly said, ; “ it will disap
point ns all not to Hear your composition. It
is dping injustice both to yourself and the
class to withold it. Will yon allow me to
read ikfor yOu ? I will do my best by it.”
The genuine kindness and tender sympathy
of Jane made their way to the heart of the
sensitive girl; and with no words, but only a
fervent pressure of the hand which Jane had
taken, Alice gave the paper into her keep
ing, and covered her face while the piece
was read*
It was. an admirable theme-r-“ The Uses
of Study.” As Jane read, her interest in the
subject, quickened by her tender compassion
for the writer, became deep and fervent.
Both heart and soul were thrown into the
exercise; her own perception and feeling
kindled that of others; the most eager atten
tion followed 1 every- word; the noble senti
ments, as well as the beauty and force with
which they were expressed, touched the hearts
and minds of the listeners; and iis conclu
sion drew the -warmest applause of the ad
miring .audience.
The prize committee whispered a few mo
ments together ; and then the chairman an
nounced'their decision. “In adjudging,” be
said, “'as, we must, for its rare literary,excel
lence, the offered prize in composition, to that
written by Miss. Alice Carlton, we desire to
say that in our opinion, an equal .testimonial
is richly due to another; and that if two
prizes, instead of one, were ours to bestow,
we should most heartily give the second to
the young lady whose cwn well-written theme
was only surpassed by that which she had
tjie grace and kindness to read for another.
We are sure that we, do both parties a plea
sure and an honor, when we request that
Jane Bradford present, on our behalf; the
offered prize to Alice Carlton.” <
The bright and beaming face of Jane, as
she received and bore the coveted testimonial
to Alice, and the grateful sensibility of the
latter as she modestly received it, showed to
every beholder that neither the pride of suc
cess or the sting of defeat had debased the
noble nature for the rivals of the Composi
tion Prize. —Student and Schoolmate.
THE PLANTATION INFIRMARY.
A new “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin ” has just
appeared in England and this country with
the advantage that its graphic and thrilling
descriptions and harrowing pictures of sla
very are simple recitals of . facte from the pen
of an eye-witness. It is a journal" kept by
Prances Anne Kemble while on the planta
tion of her husband, a well known Philadel
phian, in Georgia; and addressed to | friend
in - Massachusetts twenty-five years ago.
Thdugh not written for these times,, its ap
pearance in England, where the
for human liberty is so shamafully'wavering,
is most opportune. Its unvarnished yet
powerful representations and its irresistible
pathos, must exert a great influence upon the
popular mind. ; We give a single extract.
It must be borne in mind that the plantat-'on
on which these scenes occurred had a most
favorable reputation for the humanity of its
arrangements. :A
“ The Infirmary is a large two-story
building, terminating the broad orange
planted space between the two rows of
houses which form the first settlement; it.
is built of whitewashed wood, and contains
four large-sized rooms. But how shall I de
scribe to you the spectacle which was pre
sented to me on entering the first of these.
But half the casements, of which there were
six, were glazed, and 'these were obscured
with dirt, almost as much as the other win-,
dawless ones were darkened by the dingy
shUtterb, which the shivering inmates had
fastened to in order to protect; themselves
from the cold. In the enormous chimney
glimmered the powerless embers of a few
sticks of wood, round which, however, as
many of the sick women as could .approach
were cowering, -some on wooden settles, most
of them on the ground, excluding'those who
were too; ill to rise,;' and these laqt poor
wretches lay prostrate, on ’the floor’, without
|Ywni(iw €>*«*s«*
bed, mattress, or pillow, buried in tattered
and filthy blankets/ which, huddled round
them as they lay strewed about, lelt hardly
space to mo#e upon the floor. And here, in
their hour of sickness and suffering, lay those
whose health and strength are spent' in un
requited labor for us—those who, perhaps
even yesterday, were being urged on to their
unpaid task—those whoge husbands, fathers,
brothers, and sons were even at that hour
sweating over the earth, whose produce was
to buy for us all the luxuries which health
can revel in, ail the comforts which can alle
viate sickness. I stood in the midst of them,
perfectly unable to speak, the tears pouring
from my eyes at-this sad spectacle of their
misery, myself and my emotion alike strange
and incomprehensible rto them.; Here lay
women.expecting every hour,the terrors and
agonies of childbirth,! others who had just
brought their doomed offspring to the world,,
others who were groaning over the anguish;
and bitter disappointment ofyiuiscarriages— :
here lay some' burning with .fever, othirs.
chilled with cold and aching with rheuma
tism, upon the hard cold ground, the draughts
and'dampness of the atmosphere increasing
their sufferings, and dirt, noised and/stench,
and every aggravation of which sickness is
capable, l coHttbined in their condition—here
they lay like brlite beasts,, absorbed ih phy
sical suffering; an visited by any of those
Divine influences which may ennoble the
dispensations of .pain and illness, forsaken,
as it seemed to be, of all good; and yet, 0
God, Thou surelyhadst not forsaken them !
Now pray take notice that'this is the hospjh.
tal of an estate where the owners are sup
posed to be. humane, the overseer efficient
and r kind, and the riegroe3 remarkably well
cared for and comfortable. As soon as I re
covered from my dismay, I addressed old
'Rose, the midwife, who had charge of this
room, bidding her open the shutters of such,
windows as were glazed, and let in the light'.
I next proceeded to make up the fire; but/
upon my lifting a log for that purpose 1 , there
was one universal outcry, of horror,, and old?
Rose/attempting to snatch it from me, ex
claimed, “ Let alone, missis—let be ; what’
for you lift wood ? you have nigger enough,
missis, to do it!” I hereupon had to ex
plain to them my view- of the purposes for
which hands and arms were appended to our
bodies, and forthwith began making Rose
tidy up the miserable apartment, removing
all the filth and rubbish from the floor that
could be removed, folding up in piles the
blahkcts of the patients who were not using;
them, and placing^in rather more sheltered,
and comfortable positions, those who were
unable to rise. It was all that I could do/
and having enforced upon them all my; ear
nest desire that .they should keep their room,
swept, and as tidy as possible, I passed on to
the other room on the ground floor, and to
the two above, one of which is appropriated
to the use of the men who are ill. They
were all in the same deplorable, condition,
the upper rooms being rather the more mise
ble, inasmuch as none of the windows, were
glazed at all, and they had, therefore, only
the alternative'of utter darkness, or killing
draughts of air from the unsheltered case-:
ments. In all, filth, disorder, and misery
abounded;, the floor was the only bed, and
scanty, begrimed rags of blankets the only,
covering. I left this refuge for Mr. ’s
sick dependents with my clothes covered with
dust, and full of vermin, and with a heart
heavy enough, as you will well believe. Myi
morning’s work had fatigued me not a little;-
and I was glad to return to the house, where
I gave vent to my indignation and regret at
the scene I had just witnessed to Mr.
and his overseer, who, here, is a member of
our family. The latter told me that the
condition of. the hospital had appeared to
him, from; his first entering upon his situa
tion (only within the last year,) to require a
reform, arid 1 that he had' proposed it ‘to the
former manager, Dr. K——, arid Mi*. s
brother, who is part proprietor, of the estate,
but, receiving no encouragement’from them,
had supposed that it was a matter of indiffer
ence to the owners, and had left it in the
condition in which he had found it. in which
condition it has been for the last nineteen
years arid upward;”
A NEW COLONIZATION SOCIETY PRO
POSED.
Early in the course of rebellion, we clip
ped the following from the Anti-Sl<f)ery
Standard. At that time the proposal wouk.
have seemed a mere joke to most persons,
but the progress of eveh&has almost thrown
a practical air’around it. We are strongly
of opinion that: the surest way to a lasting
peace after the rebellion is overthrown, wouk
be to follow the suggestions of the writer,
whom we take to be Mr. Charles L. Brace.
1 - *■ *
A PLAN FOR THE COLONIZATION OF THE SLAVE-
HOLDERS.
The great question 1 which is to agitate the
nationrfor the next decade after the close of
the war is, “What shall 1 we do with 1 the'
slaveholders ?” We of the Northern States
are devout believers in ethnology: we know
that two diverse races of varieties of men
cannot exist together on an-equality; that
one inevitably swallows up or obliterates
the other. Now, under the Darwinian pro
cess of “a gradual accumulation of profita
ble (or unprofitable, as it has turned out)
changes” a new variety of man has been
formed in the slavehoiding States. The
steady, law-abiding, work-loving; self-con
trolled Anglo-American of the North has
become thelazy, passionate, law-conteihning, :
tyrannical American of the South; Between
the Carolina, aristocrat and/the New Eng
land mechanic are all the differences, moral
and temperamental, that exist between the
French and the English.'! The! two Lane : how
in deadly opposition. One or the other must
go to the wall. Of course, .the superior and
educated race musf exterminate the inferior.
And though we have not a “ cursed 1 be Ca
naan” text from the Bible to justify their ex
termination or removal, yet. we have some
that approach the matter, as “ Woe unto
him that oisethhis neighbor’s service without
wages, and giveth him not for his work.”
But the great and important reason for re
moving the slaveholder is, that; he will not•
work. All agree that without slavery, he
will do nothing. . He is incorrigibly lazy.
He is willing to play the soldier, to act the
master, to. wear the mask of the gentleman;
but he has a great aversion to .hard labor.,
Now, the world demands cotton and rice fttid
sugar. If an Anglo-Southerner prefers his
“pumpkin” to labor, he must be made to
labor, or be driven out.
It is possible, indeed, that through the
philanthropic efforts of some Slaveholders!
Colonization Society, when in new
circumstances, he may be reclaimed and in
duced to work. But, here on the soil, he
could never he made to do; sO. He is of
little ! valued to this country, excepjtf to 1 fill
somespublic offices; which others can ocCupy
equally well. His principal contributions
to the Republic have been - disgrace abroad,
dissensions at home, and a war costing some
$800,000,000.
Some very simple- minded individuals have
proposed (for whnf reason is entirely obscure)
the colonization! of the slaves rather than the
masters. Nottb spesak of the fact that we
should ihen'be rewarding treason and pun
ishing loyalty by transporting millions of
our most faithfil citizens, and leaving their
lands to traitor., how are, we to pay the ex
penses or proctre the vessels for the emigra
tion of four miljion of human beings ? If it
Cost on an average $6O each to transplant,
them, and five lundred could be put in each
vessel, it wouid(Mguira; then • $20O,OQO)dOO,
for, the cost .wise: measure, and at.
least 80,000 shros ; whereas the. masters
supposing them, » number 350,000—could
be exported for $17,500,000, and could be
stowed in, 70.0 shiM Then, again, th’e.slaves.
in a. state of. bondsn are worth in the South
ern .market at least t l2,000,0.00,000.:
Can we afford—fe we at this time sp.
rich, that'we can gi?‘ away this sum, ot!, a'
much, larger, one, con idering the value of the
negroes in a. state of'reedom ?
Spain expelled he Moorish artisans and
France her Huguem t laborers, and philoso
phers think that'bot] countries never recov
ered thp loss. Hpwmueh cheaper would be f
!for us the deportatio| of the slaveholders !
Each slave-master cak hardly, at this tiihe he
'worth.to the eountrr his “keep 1 .” He is
heavily in debt to Nether n merchants, and
he has cost,, and, is Ikely to cost, millions
more to the North’ thin he will ever produce.
Instead of losing tub thousand million of
dollars by exporting (the negroes, why not
gain millions by coljnizing the masters ?
With the slaveholdersgone would be gone
internal dissension, foreign filUbhstering,,
barbarism in Oongrea crime in private life,
repudiation ip business treason in public and
the danger of civil wai .Withthe negroes
gone, would be lost lojal citizens,, industri
ous producers and all we agriculture of some
of the richest districted the world!,
Of course, human ns

multitude of publicly known'and remarkable cures
it’ has | made of the, following diseases.: King's
Evil, or Glandular Swellings,Tiimors, Erup- ‘
i tions, Pimples, Blbtchcs.and Sores, Erysipelas,
Eose or St. Anthony’s Eire, Salt EheuinjScald
Head, Coughsirom. tuberculous deposits in
tiie lungs, White Swellings; Debility; Dropsy,
Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or indeed, the whole series :
of complaints.that arise from impurity of the .b100d,...
Minute reports of individual cases may be found
in Ayer’s American Almanac, which is furnished
to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein i
may be learned: the directions for its use, and some. ,
of the remarkable cures which it has made when,
allother remedies had failed to afford relief.’ , Those
cases are, purposely taken from all sectipns of the:
country, in order that every'reader may have ac
cess to some one wlio can: speak to him of-its bene
fits ffrom personal experience. Scrofula .depresses
the vital energies,-and thus leaves its victims ite .
moie subjeet to disease audits fatal results than
are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten,
and does greatly shorten, the average duration of .
human life.*.The vast importance of these con
siderations lias led us to spend years in perfecting
a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we
now offer to the public under the name of'AxEß’s
Sarsaparilla, although it is composed of, ingre
dients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsa
parilla in alterative power. By its aid you may
. protect yourself from the suffering. and: danger, of .
these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptipns.
that rot and fester in the blood, purge out the
causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow.
By its. peculiar virtues ■ this remedy, stimulates the
, vital-functions, and thus expels the- distempers,
which lurk within the system or burst out on any
part of it,‘ \
We know the public, have been: deceived- by.
many compounds, of Sarsaparilla, that promised,
much and did, nothing ; but they will neither be
deceivedjior disappointed-in tiiis. Its virtues have
been proven by abundant trial, and there remains:
no question, of its surpassing, excellence for the
cure of the afflicting diseases it is intended to
reach. Although under the same name; it is *a
very different medicine from any other which-has
been before the people, and is far.more effectual,
than any other which has ever been available to
them. - -
