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.

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

WILLIAM LEWIS,

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."

,
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

there but half a minute, when General Pu

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

fully mangled, replied :
" There they go !" .
He pointed to a company of Hessians, then
some distance off.
" RIGHT-WHEEL -MEN, charge I"

one man of that Hessian corps ever left the

ground of Brandywine. He and his sweet
Mary fell on the same field.

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

" No !"
"No! Jane, call back that word."
"No ! oh, no! Come back here! 'Twon't

Trial of the Efarper's Ferry insurgents
CLIARLESTOWN, Nov. 7.
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. FRMIVITUL DEATIL—On the night of the
22d ult., a young couple, who•were about to ,
be married, were sitting by a stove in the
house of Mr. Joshua Blackwell, in Hopewell
township, Mercer county, N. J., when the
lady's clothes caught ire, and, in spite of
every exertion, she was so badly burnt that
she died the same night. The young man's
hands, while endeavoring to extinguish the
flames, were burnt to a crisp. He will prob
ably be crippled for life.
