A - CHILD'S EVENING PRAYER. Ere on my bed my limbs I lay, God grant me'grace my prayers to say; 0 God! preserve my mother dear In strength, and health, for many a year; And 0, preserve my father too, And may I pay him reverence due; And may I my best thoughts employ To bo my parents' hope and joy; And 0 preserve my brothers, both From evil doings, and from sloth ; Arid may we always love each other, Our friends, our father, and our mother ; And still, 0 Lord, to me impart An innocent and grateful heart, That after my last sleep I may Awake to thy eternal day. A ci titrt citorg. LLE ( E' S PICTURES. COUSIN MARY ANN. I bad been with my husband to make an examination of the cottage, which was soon to be our home—our own. We had been eight months at a boarding home ; and though it was all that a boarding house could be, in respect to neatness and comfort, it was not home • and I never passed through the kitch en, and saw our landlady in her tidy check apron, concocting some nice desert ;for our always abundaTdinner, without my fingers itching to feel themselves similarly em ployed. My husband had purchased the pretty little cottage of which I am speaking, some six weeks before ; but though I had not failed daily to urge my wish to remove, he had al ways some objec4ion ready. A few more re pairs were needed ; the paint was too fresh ; or the plaster was not quite dry. But now everything was in order; from garret to cel lar it was ready, and 'neat enough for a queen,'—it wanted only an occupant to vital me and consecrate it the dearest of homes.— I grew impatient at the continued delay. " Why can we not go immediately ?—to morrow? Our furniture is ready. Do, Char lie," I urged, " send a dray around for it, early to-morrow morning." "Wait patiently, Nellie, just a week longer, and you shall be gratified. I have a letter from cousin Mary Ann, 'this morning, saying that at the expiration of that time she will be with us, and can remain as long as we wish." " Cousin Mary Ann!" I exclaimed, aghast, " is she coming to live with us?" "For a while, dear; I wouldn't tell you before, be_bause I feared she might disappoint us. But i 6 sure now—think of the relief it will be to you." " What ! cousin Mary Ann ?" I asked, in nocently, wondering what he was driving at. "Yes. You sae, Nellie, in view of your inexperience in the cooking line, I thought best to invite her to make her home with us for a time. Her inexperience will be inval uable to you. She was brought up, you know, by my mother, who instructed her in the culinary art, with her own skillful and pains-taking hands. Can't you thank me for my forethought ?" Now, though I dearly loved our kind, ca pable, old maidenly cousin, and desired noth ing better than, after a few months' practice, to invite her to become a witness of my house keeping achievements, this announcement that she was about to become an inmate of our family, as " chief cook and bottle wash er," was far from having an agreeable sound in my ears. Away went my bright visions of independence in my new home. Only a little waiting girt would I keep to kindle fires, wash dishes, run errands, and " save me steps" generally. The labor of preparing my husband's meals should be mine alone, and mine the reward, if there was any.— Ah ! why bad he invited my cousin Mary Ann to step between me and my dignities and privileges ? " Why, Charlie, I can cook !" in a choked voice, was all I could utter. " Oh, some things, dear, of course," be re plied, patronisingly; " but you are only eighteen, you know, and have always been in school. There wasn't much chance for you to learn." " I had too good. a mother," I returned, with some temper "to let me get married without some knowledge of house-keeping.-- And I'll bet anything—" " There, there, Nellie, you know I don't like to hear you say, you'll bet,' I have no doubt but your good mother did the best she could by you, in the time she had; but you really musn't be offended, because I don't believe you can cook quite to my satisfaction at present. I acknowledge that lam some thing difficult to please, in the matter of food. Ido like good eating, and am not apt to be pleasantly tempered, unless my palate has its due share of attention. It may be a weakness, but so it Is. Now, I have not the least fear but that in time you will becofiie expert enough to please even greater epi cures than myself, but you need teaching and practice. Come, admit that my plan is an admirable one." I neither admitted nor denied, but accep ted the plan without further discussion, and waited patiently for Mary Ann's appearance. At the appointed time, she came, and I wel comed her as a guest, not as a house-keeper, for my resolution was taken. On the first day of our settlement in the cottage, taking advantage of my husband's absence, I ex plained to her his wishes, and my design to thwart them, so far as to do every particle of the cooking myself, still allowing him to sup pose it was the work of his chosea cook. Cousin Mary Ann joined in the arrange ment with great good humor, and proposed to take the sweeping, dusting, mending, &e., upon herself. My washing and ironing were put out to a laundress. Our deception flourished admirably.— Charlie was seldom in the housOat cooking hours, and when he was, it was easy to keep $1 50 75 50 .... 1 00 ..... .... 1 50 2 00 1 50 225 3 00 WILLIAM LEWIS, VOL. XV. him out of the kitchen. He was not one of those men who have a penchant for tying on women's aprons, and hovering about the cooking stove. He found much to praise in " cousin Mary Ann's cooking." The steak, the bread, the pies, and even the potatoes, were cooked " after his mother's fashion, and reminded bim of old times." Cousin Mary Ann sometimes gave obscure hints of having forgotten much of her former knowledge, and •her belief that "Nell could rival her, if she tried." A compassionate smile of supreme unbelief was the Autocrat's only reply. Of course I had some trials. My maid-of all work sometimes overlooked a missing shirt button, a ripped pocket, or a yawning stock ing heel ; and occasionally, for her eye-sight was a little faulty, allowed the dust to accu mulate behind doors and under sofas, more than was quite consistent with good house wifery. These negligences were, of course, laid to my charge. " Nellie, with cousin Mary Ann to do all the cooking, it seems to me you could find time to see to these socks 1" Or, " Nellie, since you have nothing at all to do in the kitchen, try to be a little particular about the dust, won't you ?" To be sure, he generally ended by saying that I kept house much bet ter than he expected; and indeed he supposed I spent a considerable time in learning to cook ! Sometimes I feared lest my heated face, at the dinner table should expose me, and was thankful when Charlie was so much in love with my cooking, as to be almost ob livious of my personal appearence. When things had gone on thus more than two months, Charlie had business which was to take him from home several days. When he had gone— Now, Nellie," said cousin Mary Ann, " with your permission, I will change occu pations with you. I really fear that I have forgotten how to make a loaf of cake." Whether it was indeed so, or whether some mishap occurred in baking with an oven to which she was unaccustomed, I know not, but cousin Mary Ann's first attempt at cook ing in our house was a failure, as she owned with some chagrin. The pies were only tol erable, the cake barely passable, the biscuits scarcely eatable, for an " epicure ;" though not as my poor cousin dolared, " heavy as bul lets !" "No harm done !" said I ; "we can dis pose of this before Charlie returns, and noth ing need be said." Alas ! he returned a day too soon ; and worse still, found us sitting at the table, with all the unaccepting viands before us. There was nothing else cooked, and no bakers near; so nothing was to be done, but to bring a clean plate and knife, and pour another cup of tea, while Charlie took a hasty bath.— Seated at the table, he tried first one biscuit, and then another, then laid down his knife in undisguised astonishment. A- hurried glance at our blushing cheeks, gave him, as he thought, the solution. Ah, I see," he exclaimed, smiling bland ly, and tapping my cheek with his knife ; I see how it is—little folks have been trying their luck in my absence—experimenting with Miss Leslie's Domestic Recipes! Well," and he heroically swallowed half a biscuit, " everything must have a beginning. Don't be discouraged—you might have done worse." " I intend to keep trying," I answered, de murely, and went to set the sponge for next day's baking. In less than a week after this, cousin d Mary Ann received an unexpected summons to at tend upon a relative, who was ill, and de parted upon short notice, greatly missed by us both. For two days, nothing was said respecting my knowledge of the culinary art; then a sort of pleased surprise took the place of saddened expectancy, upon the counte nance of him who sat at the head of the table, " Who have you got to cook for you, Nel lie? Who made this pudding, and roasted this lamb ? You've been employing some one, I know. Tell me who, and I'll hire her, if it takes all I earn." " Her wages are very high, Charlie. Still, as you' have so long remunerated her willing ly and generously, she hopes not to be dis charged, at least until she commits some egre gious blunder." " Discharged ! What do you mean, Nelly —is the woman here?" " Certainly. She not only cooks for you, but eats with you. I should be sorry indeed to leave a place where I am so well appre ciated." " You! Nellie, I believe you are cheating me ! Do you mean to say that you have been cook in • this house all the time, instead of cousin Mary Ann ?" " All the time, dear. You recollect my of fering to bet on the subject, but you stopped me ?" " Yes, yes ; i see it all now, and you are well avenged for my incredulity. Bless you for a model cook, Nelly, and your mother be fore you. But is it possible that cousin Mary Ann cooked nothing at all during her stay here ? " Nothing except the things you found on the table, after your return from your trip to B." " Mary Ann make them 1" " She did, indeed ; but let me assure you, I am far from considering it any proof of the want of that.skill you have so often held up to me for imitation. She labored under dis advantages." My husband went away without another word ; but as he left the house, I overheard him whistling energetically, and. then hum ming, in a low tone— "Then fare thee well, my own Mary Ann; Then fare thee well forever; For the ship it is ready, and the wind is fair, And I am bound for the sea, Mary Ann." ger Oh, how sweet is a harbor after a long storm, and a sunshiny day after a dark and tempestuous night, and a warm spring after a sharp winter 1 The miseries and dif ficulties that a man meets with in this world, will exceedingly sweeten the glory of that other world. ger. A good word is an easy obligation ; but not to speak ill requires only our silonce which costs us nothing. ' , Stand up here, young man, and let us talk to you. You have trusted alone to the con tents of " father's purse," or to his fair fame for your influence or success in business.— Think you that "father" has attained to em inence in his profession but by unwearied in dustry ? or that he has amassed a fortune hon estly without energy and activity ? You should know that the faculty requisite for the acquiring of fame and fortune is essential to, nay, inseparable from, the retaining of either of these? Suppose "father" has the "rocks" in abundance ; if you never earned anything for him, you have no more business with those "rocks" than a gosling has with a tortoise, and if he allows you to meddle with them till you have learned their value by your own in dustry, he perpetrates untold mischief. And if the old gentleman is lavish of his cash to wards you, while he allows you to idle away your time, you bad better leave him ; yes, run away, sooner than be made an imbecile or a scoundrel, through so corrupting an influence. Sooner or later you must learn to rely on your own resources, or you will not be anybody. If you have ever helped yourself at all, if you have become idle, if you have eaten fath er's bread and butter and smoked father's ci gars, cut a swell in father's buggy, and tried to put on father's influence and reputation, you might far better have been a poor canal boy, the son of a chimney sweep, or a boot black—and indeed we would not swap with you the situation of a poor half-starved moth erless calf ! Miserable objects you are, that depend entirely upon your parents, playing gentleman (alias dandy loafer.) What in the name of common sense are you thinking of ? Wake up there ! Go to work with either your hands or your brains, or both, and do something ! Don't merely have it to boast that you have grown in " father's " house— that you have vegetated as other greenhorns but let folks know that you count one. Come, off with your coat, clinch the saw, the plow handles, the scythe, the axe, the pickaxe, the spade—anything that will ena ble you to stir your blood I "Fly round and tear your jacket," rather than be the recipi ent of the old gentleman's bounty. Sooner than play the dandy at dad's expense, hire yourself out to dig some potato patch ; let yourself to stop hog holes, or watch the bars ; and when you think yourself entitled to a resting spell, do it on your own hook. If you have no other means of having fun of your own, buy with your earnings an empty bar rel, and put your head into it and holler, or get into it and roll down hill. Don't, for pity's sake, don't make the old gentleman do everything, and you live at your ease, Look about you, you well dressed, smooth faced, do-nothing drones! Who are they that have worth and influence in society?— Are they those that have depended alone on the old gentleman's purse ? or are they those that have climbed their way to their position by their industry and energy? True, the old gentleman's funds, or personal influence, may secure you the forms of respect, but let him lose his property, or die, and what are you ? A miserable fledgling—a bunch of flesh and bones that needs to be taken care of ! Again we say, wake up—get up in the morning—turn round at lelist twice before breakfast—help the old man—give him now and then a. generous lift in business—learn how, take the lead, and not depend forever on being led • and you have no idea how the discipline will benefit you. Do this, and our word for it you will seem to breathe a new atmosphere, possess a new frame, tread on new earth, wake to a new destiny—and you may then begin to aspire to manhood. Take off, then, that ring from your lilly finger, break your cane, shave your upper lip, wipe your nose, hold up your head, and by all means, never again eat the bread of idleness, NOR DEPEND ON RATHER I On the night of the battle of Brandywine, I was sent with a message from General Green to Count Pulaski, a noble Polander, who took a prominent part in our struggle for freedom. He was quartered in a neat farm house, near the upper forts. After our business was finished, the Count asked me to take some re freshments, and at the same time called out— " Mary, my lass, Mary !" In an instant a rosy-cheeked girl entered, her face beaming with joy, it would seem, at the very sound of Pulaski 's voice. " Did you call me, Count ?" said the maid en, timidly. "How often have I told you, little love," he said, bending his tall form to kiss her cheek ; " net to call ma Count ; call me dear Pulaski.' This is a Republic, my little fa vorite ; we have no Counts, you know," "But you are a Count, sir, when at home, and they say you came a long way over the ocean to fight for us." " Yes, Mary, very true—l did come a long way—the reason was I had to come. Now, can you get for this gentleman and myself, a little refreshment ? has a long way to ride, to-night." "Certainly, sir," and she went out of the room like a fairy. "Fine, pleasant girl," said Pulaski p"vrould that I had the wealth I once had! I would give her a portion that would send half the youth hereabouts after her sweet face." On the morning of the 11th of September, 1777, the British army advanced in full force to Chadd's Ford, for the purpose of crossing Brandywine Creek, and bringing on, an ac tion with Washington. Sir William flow° drove Maxwell's division across the creek by ten o'clock at one of the lower fords. The Hessian General,.Enyphausen, with a large force, advanced upon the creek, and uniting with Lord Cornwallis, who comman ded the left wing of the army, crossed at the upper ford of the river and creek. It so hap pened that during the conflict, when carry ing orders, I passed immediately in the di rection of Pulaski's quarters, that I had vis i,Wd the, night before. ' aufldenly a, sheet of flame burst'forth ;. the house. was on fire.-- Isteai the. door -steps' lay the body of Mary, her head cut open by a sabre, and her brains oozing out of the terrible wound.

Don't Depend on Father, The Maiden and the Hero. -PERSEVERE. - • there but half a minute, when General Pu laski at the head of a troop of cavalry, gal loped rapidly to the house. Never shall I forget the expression on his face, as he shout ed like a demon on seeing the inanimate form of Mary :-- " Who did this?" A little boy, who had not been before no ticed, lying on the grass with his leg dread fully mangled, replied : " There they go !" . He pointed to a company of Hessians, then some distance off. " RIGHT-WHEEL -MEN, charge I" " And they did CHARGE. Ido not think that one man of that Hessian corps ever left the field except to be placed in the grave. The last of Pulaski was on the battle ground of Brandywine. He and his sweet Mary fell on the same field. A Novel in Pour Chapters. lIY PRILOMEL DOERINS. CHAPTER I. In a beautiful log cabin in the mountains of Old Virginia, our tale opens. Around, nature's wild loveliness was sublime. The lofty trees hung out their green leaves in perfection, and the high rocks caught the gray mists of the mornings and pressed them to their rough bosoms, until they melted in tears against their sides. A lovely maiden was sitting by a table combing her hair with a fine-tooth comb—a rnanly forms enters the door and stealthily creeps up behind her, and— - " Ith, John 1" ex.olaimed the lovely heiress of that beautiful cabin, and the extensive potato patch behind it, " you oughtn't to do that way 1" " Lay it all on my love, gal."

'Twon't come, John—'tis gone." " Then I'm gone, too 1" and the impas sioned youth rushed from the lovely cabin like a maniac. CHAPTER 111. Sadly did the young man run along the road, while the girl, firm and submissive in the discharge of her duty, proceeded to fry some _onions for dinner. 'Meanwhile the youth rushed madly on; the burning fever of his heart maddened in his brain, and he thought of self-destruction. Jerking his pocket comb from his pocket, vainly did he attempt to cut his throat. Nature, however, had blessed him with a tough skin, proved too strong for him ; but he was not to be balked in this way—he rushed to a wagon rut, where there was water at least two inches deep, and flung himself into, or rather upon it. There he lay for full five seconds, when Harry Cleft, the father of the girl, passed by, CHAPTER PT, He soon unfolded his sad tale to his friend, and finally consented to live if Harry would give him a chew of tobacco. He returned to the house, and in his haggard countenance, Jane saw his unhappy condition. He never got it, though.

The excitement in regard to the trial of the Harper's Ferry conspirators still contin ues, and fair progress - is being made by the Court in the disposal of the cases. The case of the free negro Copeland was brought to a close on Saturday afternoon, the jury finding a verdict of not guilty of treason, as charged in the first count of the indictment, he not being , recognized as a citizen, and guilty of conspiracy with the slaves to rebel, and of murder, as charged in the second and third counts. The case was ably argued by An drew Hunter on behalf of the State. The prisoner was defended by George Sennott, Esq., of Boston, who labored with much zeal for his client. A bill of exceptions and a motion for the arrest of judgment was enter ed by the prisoner's counsel, which will be disposed of to-morrow morning. The Court assembled at 10 o'clock on Mon day, and was called to order by Judge Par ker. The grand jury was sworn, and imme diately proceeded to their room to consider the case of Captain Cook. A number of wit nesses were summoned, and the jury was ab sent for about two hours. On the reassem bling of the Court, Mr. Ilarding. the Prose cuting Attorney, stated that as a number of the witnesses in the case of Cook, who would not be in StsphenP' case, were present, he would, if agreeable to the counsel on the other side, move to take up the case of Cook first. Thomas C. Green, Esq., one of the counsel for Cook, said that as the counsel had not yet bad time to read the indictment, and had not yet decided what plea to enter to the charge, he was unable to proceed in the case, and would prefer that the Commonwealth would proceed with the case of Stephens, which would allow them time to prepare the case of Cook. The case of Stevens was then called up.— D. Stevens was accordingly brought into Court, and placed on a mattrass. He is look ing pale and haggard, the abstinence from food and the large quantity of medicine taken by him having had a decided effect on him. He bears up under his wounds with much fortitude, and is seldom heard to murmur.— His counsel, Mr. Sennott, who had endeav ored to have his trial moved to an adjoining county, but was refused, appeared, and the empannelling of a jury was proceeded with. After a considerable number of jurymen had been obtained, Mr. Hunter arose and stated that he bad just received a dispatch which would probably interfere with further pro ceedings in the empannelling of a jury. He then read the following telegraphic dispatch from Gov. Wise. RICHMOND, Nov. 7.—To Andrew G. Hun ter—Dear Sir I think you had better try Cook, and hand Stephens over to the Federal authorities. Respectfully signed, H. A. WISE. Mr. Hunter stated that he had been in cor respondence for several days with Gov. Wise, and had in his possession a number of facts important to the development of this case which were unknown to the public, and would for the present remain so. He had, since his last letter to the Governor, come into the possession of other facts which pointed to Stephens as the most available party to be handed over to the Federal authorities, as he felt assured enough would be ascertained to result in bringing before the Federal bar a number of the prominent fanatics of the North. Mr. Harding objected to the proceedings, and insisted that the case should be procee ded with. He was not in league with Gov. Wise or anybody else. He was not fed by any one, and would only receive, as a com pensation for his arduous labors in the case, the small pittance allowed by the Circuit Court. Mr. Sennott remarked that he had not con sulted with his client, and as the jury had partly been chosen,_ he would not consent that the State should hand over to the Gov ernment the prisoner for what purpose was known to Gov. Wise, and had been foreshad owed by the remarks of Mr. Hunter. If time had been allowed, the trouble had in the empannelling of the jury would have been dispensed with. Mr. Hunter then remarked that he would then immediately proceed with the case of Stephens, and hand over the prisoner Hazlett, who has not yet been indicted, to the Fed eral Court. It was material whether Ste phens would prefer a trial or not. IVIr. Sem nott then asked a delay of •a moment for a consultation with Stephens, after which he announced that the prisoner accepted the offer of the State to hand him over to the Federal authorities, and would therefore pre fer to be removed to jail. Mr. Harding desired the clerk to enter his earnest protest against the whole proceed ings. He considered the whole procedings wrong, and wished it so 'shown on the docket. Judge Parker to the clerk—Do no such thing. I wish no such protest entered on the docket of this Colot, The prisoner was then handed over to United States Marshal Martin, and lodged in jail, where he will remain until the term of the Federal Court at Staunton, which will not meet for some time. The jury was accordingly discharged, and a large number of the freeholders of the county ware summoned to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock, when the case of Cook will be taken up. It will excite a large degree of interest. He will be defended by J. C. Mc- Donald, Attorney General, and William Voor hees, District Attorney of Indiana, and Messrs. Lawson, Botts, and M. C. Green of our own bar. The prosecution will be conducted by An drew G. Hunter. The prisoner seems to be in fine spirits, and is not without hope of a verdict in his favor. Governor Willard and a Mr. Crowley, his brothers-in-law, will be present daring the entire trial. C4TARLESTOWN, Nov. 8. The trial of 'Cook commenced this morn ing, when his confession was read in open Court. A. jury was then empannelled, and the trial went on. The Conneautville Courier states that two men were in that village a short time since in pursuit of an Irish woman who had stolen a horse and buggy from the vicinity of Roch ester, N. Y., a week previous. Once they overtook and arrested her, but the same night she escaped through her chamber window, by means of the bed cord, obtained the same horse and buggy from the stable, and contin ued her flight without bonnet, shawl or dress, they having been taken from her room by direction of her captors. She, however sup plied herself with these articles by borrowing them from a house on her way, while the family were absent. On Tuesday she lodged near Seagertown, but on Friday no further trace of her had been discovered. The Pittsburgh papers since state that eluding all pursuit this female Jack Shep pard made her way to Mercer county, where she traded the stolen nag for another, and then continued her journey, arriving in Alle gheny city in the early part of last week, and put up at Neely's tavern on Federal street, Just as any other traveller. She stopped there for some time, representing herself as a resident of Oneida county, N. Y., whose husband bad recently died, and that the pur port of her visit there was to discover the whereabouts of some relatives, whose ac quaintance she desired making. After some few days had passed, she consented, at the suggestion of a friend, to sell the horse and buggy, and both were disposed of to Mr. Ger ber, a tavern keeper on Ohio street, for one hundred dollars, which, of course, was hand ed over to " Mrs. Killen," the name under which our heroine passed. Shortly after parting with the horse she disappeared, and while speculation was rife as to what had become of her, the Rochester gentleman reached the city in pursuit of the fair widow, accompanied by the party from Mercer coun ty, with whom she had traded his nag. The latter's horse was hunted up, and found in_ the possession of Mr. Fans, to whom Gerber had sold him, but no traces whatever of the thief could be discovered, and thus far all ef forts to ascertain either her identity or hiding place have proved abortive, This whole adventure is a most singular one, and displays an amount of tact and nerve rarely exhibited. by a woman, Since the above was put iii type, we learn that the woman has been arrested at Roch ester, N. Y., where she,formerly resided, and whither, she returned after disposing of the horse "and buggy at Pittsburgh. Her real name turns out to _be Ellen Hughes, and is said by the Rochester papers, to be a hard case generally. NO. 21. Alexander Dumas has lately published a singular story concerning the late Caar olas, of Russia, viz I that after the disastrous news from the Crimea of Russian defeats, the Czar resolved to die ! Should ho retrace hie footsteps and abandon policy, he would have to give tho lie to a reign of thirty years.—. Should he persist in carrying on the war, he would ruin Russia. But what he could not ask for without loss of honor, viz : peace, his successor might, 11e, therefore, by pressing solicitation, obtained from his physician, who had previously resisted for two months, a dose of poison strong enough to kill him, but yet weak enough to allow him .to live a few hours after having taken it. The physician left St, Petersburg on the 17th of February, having obtained from the Emperor a declara tion in writing which made him safe at all points. On the morning of the 18th, the Ems peror swallowed the poison, after which he sent for the Grand Duke Alexander—now Emperor—and told him all. The latter would have cried out for help, but the Emperor pre vented him by an order so positive that, as a son and a subjeot, he could not disobey his father and his sovereign. Then the Empe ror explained to him in detail the motives which induced him to take this heroic stop. The young Prince, broken-hearted, the tears streaming from his eyes, his utterance choked by sobs, listened to the dreadful narrative on his knees, and clasped his hands, exclaiming, "my father "my father !" The Emperor would not allow him to quit his side until he had obtained from him a solemn promise to let death take its course without attempting to stop it. But the instant the young Prince was out of the room, his filial lave triumphed over his fidelity to his word, and he summon ed the whole of the royal family., and also three physicians. The latter arrived too late. The Emperor, after a not very violent agony, expired at twenty minutes past twelve at noon, on the 18th of J?ebruary, 1855. At the same instant Russia changed not only her master but her policy. De — Fred. Douglas has addressed a letter to the Rochester _Democrat dated Canada West, October 31, denying the alleged state ment of Cook that he had agreed to assist the John Brown expedition. He says : "My field of labor for the abolition of slavery has not extended to an attack upon the United States Arsenal. In the teeth of the documents already published, and of those which may hereafter be published, I affirm that no man connected with that in surrection, from its noble and heroic leader down, can connect my name with a single broken promise of any sort whatever. So much I deem it proper to say negatively. f€ The time for a fall statement of what I know, and of all I know, of this desperate but sublimely disinterested effort to emanci pate the slaves of Maryland and Virginia from their cruel task-masters, has not yet come, and may never come. In the denial which I have now made, my motive is more a respectful consideration for the opinions of the slaves' friends, than from my fear of be ing made an accomplice in the general con spiracy against slavery, lam ever ready to write, speak, publish, organize, combine, and even to conspire against slavery, when there is a reasonable hope of success," A.
