.During the trial of a case in the second
session of the Superior Court in Boston, re
oently, one of the counsel, who has a roputa-'
tion lor saying out of the way things, asked n
witness“ Now, sir, at the time, the commer
cial crisis convulsed the community of this
continent, and confounded the calculations of
tho cautious, how much was this lot of land

tween the apprentices and their masters at
the North. I write this not as an apologist
or defender of slavery, but the result of the
impressions made upoA mo from ■what I have
seen. Let mo relate an incident.
At the house I am stopping is a bright mu
latto female, slave of some fifteen years of age;
she is sprightly, intelligent, can read, write,
sing and play the . piano. I proposed to her
that I would buy her of her mistress (who is
a widow;) she said she did not want to go, and
would not leave her mistress, as she know her
mistress would not part with her; I told' her'
I would give her mistress 82,000 for her, and.
when ■ she was th us tempted with the, above
sum spread out in gold before her vision, she
would consent to the transfer, the eyes of the'
colored girl grew watery, and her.lips quiv
ered, but she declared she would not go with
me from her mistress—that she loved her mis
tress, and her mistress loved her, but if I
would take her mistress along she would fol
low'.,. I subsequently related the conversation
to, the .owner, who smiled, and shaking her
head, said that no persuasion of any kind, or
money, could induce “ Grace” (the slave” to
leave her, and that ;that was the feeling of
nineteenth-twentieths of the slaves of the
South. .< ... I
A great deal is said at the North about the
neglect of the spiritual condition of the slaves;
as I have, said before, I have seen nothing of
plantation slavery, hut in, this city, I was very
much surprised indeed to see the largo at
tendance at church on the part of the negroes;
most every one has a hymn 'or prayer book,
and the congregations were very large. There
are a number of churches erected exclusively
for the colored brethren, some of which chur
ches are larger than the Presbyterian church
in Rome, and far better filled by the slaves
each Sunday, than any church in that village.
The most of the slaves 'are members of the
churches—generally, of the Methodist or Bap
tist denomination—and are very prompt and
regular in their attendance at the prayer
meetings and the other religious services.
The negroes do menial service here, and it
is very seldom an idler is seen. A negro beg
gar,never. . ■
Wasn’t Used To It.— When little blue
eyed Jenny Alton became, one snnny morn
ing, the wife of Sydney; Russell, half the girls
in Gleuvillo envied her the handsome, merry
husband she had won. Jenny was a sweet,
winsome creature, with wavy golden hair,
blue eyes, and a rosy little mouth, gentle in
heart and manner.
Three months after their marriage she bid
adieu to her. old homo and many friends, to
find, in the far West, some spot hallowed by
the name of homo.
Jenny soon, found her idol’s feet wore clay.
Nothing was in any way right, or at least
hewosn’t used to such things/ If Jenny’s
hair or toilet in any way was not as smooth
as if takonfrora a bandbox, my lord and mas
ter was certain to remind her that he had
never been-used to such things'at homo: She
played and sung charmingly in the days jof
mr courtship, but now ho so longed to hear
his sisters. They wore .so superior to her in
that respect. He could get nothing fit to oat;
everything was overdone or under-done, sea
soned too much or too little—in short, not at
all as ho had been used to having it.
A plain colored dress was sure to call out
the remark that ho wasn’t used to seeing the
Quaker dross ; 0116 ■with bright colors, that ho
did wish her taste whs different—she looked
“horribly” in such a flaming garb.
Such books as she read he couldn’t be in
duced to touch, according to his story, but the
fact is he generally managed in some way to
find out what they contained. An for her
writing homo so often, that was all foolish
ness; he wasn’t used .to seeing such things
from his sisters,- but .was deaf when his- wife
said: ■“ Of course not, for they lived scarce
five miles from their father’s/’ And then
their baby, ho was positive she didn’t care for
it, for ho had stayed at sister Smith’s and her
babies never, cried. lie wondered why she
wanted to name him Frank; it was silly to
care if it was her brother’s name,' especially
as ho wasn’t used to it.
Ho.tossed the precious letter from her'mo
ther in her lap, saying: “Here’s someynorp
nonsense from the old womanand when, - as
a short visit from her father drew to a close,
the tears sprung up into her eyes, ho
accustomed to see tears shed for such old dad
dies.
At homo everything was ncatas wax, but
nothing was over in order at his own homo.
Ho did Wish Mrs. llussoll would remember ho
wasn’t used to such disorderly housekeeping.
And so years, went by, and our rosy-cheek
ed Jenny grew palc and eare-m-orn, for the
poor little wife could do nothing right, try as
she would, and had she said: “ She wasn’t
usod to it,” she might have told the truth;
but Jonny was possessed of a spirit lowly and
of .long suffering, and so, for six .weary years,-,
she brightened the homo of her fault finding
husband, find then laid down to her dreamless
slumber under the gropn sward;
A year after, the poor man took to his homo
a gay, .dashing, black-eyed widow, and thence
forth bbtlf he and his two littlo*ipotherless
children mot with much they “ wasn’t used
There came a time .in after years when ho
looked back with tear-dimme'd .eyes to the
brief time spent with his lost Jenny, ns the
brightest of his life.- But the grave will'not
give back the dear one's to orir arms,'nor Wish*
mg sweep away forever our unkind words.
Out Door Exercise for Females. —Among
the many advocates of this who are now start
ing up in different phrts of the world, wo are
glad to: recognize Miss Harriet Mnrtineau.—
That celebrated lady, past the allotted “three
score and ten” of human life, and after her
immortal contributions to the statistics of po
litical life; has something to say regarding the
physical condition of her sex; and while on
that subject is quite as comprehensive and ns
graphically eloquent as she was, years ago,
while treating familiarly matters on which
even statesmen had shown themselves poorly
informed. Miss, Martineau seems to be all
heart for the outdoor exorcise of females
whether they inhabit the city or the country.
Fresh air and uncrowdod. thoroughfares are
attainable by the former, if they will only
take the trouble to seek them, just as the ad
vantages of town life are within the reach of
the latter, with a little exertion, Likoagood
philosopher, Miss Martineau. recommends an
alternation of the two:—exorcise in the day,
reading and amusement in the evening; and
concludes by fortolling for those who follow
her advice, health, cheerfulness, and many
days. No doubt, she is perfectly right.
AN INQUIRY.
Mb. Editok ;—Can you inform mo and o
ors ns ignorant as I, what is the reason for
tho, prevailing fashion, among -females ■ of
wearing their dresses so long as to drag‘on
the ground and in wot "weather become satu
rated with water and filth around tho bottom, I
so that four or five inches of the lower part of
tho dress, in a wet day is more like a mop
than the genteel attire of a lady ?_
Inquirer.
Remarks.— Wc wish, in the first place, to
caution our unsophisticated friend, Inquirer,
against hastily, as he seems to have done, at
least by imlendo, setting up his own private
judgment against the awful mandates of
fashion.
2. 'We wish to promise one tiling which our
good friends will assent to at ohee; namely,
there may he the best, reasons for a certain
fashion, although those reasons may, be hid
den from him. , '
3. We advance a step further, and affirm
that the very fact that the reasons for a. cpr
tain fashion are hidden from us, may be the
strong argument for the continuance of the
fashion. This may seem at first very unsat
isfactory to Inquirer, but the whole thing.will
bo made plain to him in a minute, when he
considers, . ’ ,'
4. That the reasons for the fashion alluded
to maybe deformed feet, which deformed foot,
as reasons for the fashidH, are concealed from
view by these long dresses; and heneo.tlio
reasqns for the fashion, namely, the deformed
feet, being concealed, is the strong argument
for the continuance of the fashion, inasmuch
as it is the object of the fashion to conceal the
feet. ■
5. While wo trust the above reasoning will
bo entirely satisfactory to our correspondent,
and to all other reasonable men, there are
other reasons perhaps equally satisfactory;
and before proceeding to state them, we wish
to promise once more what our friend will as
sent to as sOon as uttered; namely, that no
person chooses misery just for the sake of
misery. _ Rut many ladies do choose to follow
the fashion in question with the full knowl
edge of all the misery it will entail. It is not
plain then, that a public good, and not the
misery entailed, by these trailing dresses, is
the real motive, in case the foot are not
formed? Ladies are proverbially arid justly
regarded as more benevolent than men, and
have often been known to suffer for public
good what few men would suffer. Now.it
often happens .that our streets become.very
disagreeable, ospeciall in wot weather. . What
can more strongly impress, a man with the
disinterested, self-sacrificing heart of woman,
than to see her going before him cleaning ■ off
the wot arid dirty sidewalks,’ and-mopping.out
the filthy gutters for his accommodation, at
the certain sacrifice of all her own comfort—
the sacrifice of decency even, and-the immi
nent risk of life!
6. Another motive may bo duty, certain
conscientious persons feel to.afcknowlodgb how
■highly they ..are favored Above many, of the
poor around them, in being able to spoil a
new dress every time it rains.
Courtship in. Egypt.
Last autumn, a.boung'lady loft Dundee for
Alexandria, to visit relations in that oily.—
As the passengers were landing at Alexan
dria, a richly attired Turk advanced to look
at the arrivals, and seemed instantly struck
with the damsel frorii “ bonny Dundee.” He
approached her and suddenly flung a string
of figs about her neck. The captain of the
ship came forward and informed his bewild
ered passenger tliat the gift was a token of ad
miration and affection. The matter speedily
became serious. Through the medium of an
interpreter, the Turk entered into conversa
tion with the captain, and inquired the sum
for which he would bo willing to sell the la
dy ; ho had nine wives already, he said; but
could he possess this new beauty, she would
bo the Queen and “ Light of his Harem.”—
The captain,, for the sake of a joke, replied
thather price was 60,000 piastres (about £500.)
The Turk grumbled at the enormous demand ;
it was just double, he said, what lie. paid for
I his most handsome Circassian, Georgien or
Mingerlian, ever brought to the Alexandrine
markets The captain, however, stuck to his
price ; and so the parties separated. But on
the following morning, when the captain was
escorting the lady to the residence of her rela
tions, the Turk again made his appearance,
and, throwing another fig necklace around the
lady’s neck, intimated that he was prepared
to give the requisite suml Hero was a di
lemma. But the captain soon cleared him
self. “Foh!” said he, “you’re too late; I
sold her yesterday for a thousand piastres
more; so you’ve lost her.” The same young
lady was, married the other day, in Dundee
Thrift and Hearth.— By returns made to
the Register-general in Franco, it appears
that persona who are “well to do,” live, on an
average,- eleven years, longer'than those who,
are dependant on their daily labor. One rea
son for this is, the health-giving influence of
composure of mind; another, that forohanded
ness removes the necessity for hard exposures.
The same important truth is shown by the
fact that the average of life of those who be
long to the Society of Friends, in England, is.
soiiTe .fifteen years greater than of others in
the same sphere of life) the Friends being, the
world over, models of thrift and quiet compo

As judicious economy promotes thrift, we
propose it to our readers as a good medicine
—a medicine safe and efficient, applicable to
all climes,- countries and classes. It is “hftVd
to take” to sortie, bht steady persistence in its
practice soon make's it a habit, when it is ra
ther easier to bo economical than to be‘ extra
vagant. , .
Extravagance, waste, and carelessness ntft
onlwruin those who practice thorn, but have
a demoralizing effect on those who may bo
benefited thereby in a material point of view.
Persona seldom thrive whoso occupations or
modes of obtaining a living depend bn olidnoo,,
are in a great measure fortuitous or uncertain
—-such as gamblers, stock brokers, robbers,
wreckers, hunters, miners, office-holders, apd
speculators in general. Hence those parents
are wisest jvho bring up their children to the
expectation of making a living or becoming
rion by some occupation which brings with it
gains which are moderate, uniform and steady.
As a general rule to young men, the first po

tho first step towards material unthrift, to

Good Advice. —He gave good advice who

“There have'beeu times,, Mr. Turner,£gid

“I shouldn’t ho at all surprised,” said the'

“Mary,” said George, “next summer I will
not have a garden. Our pretty tree is dying;
I won’t love another tree as. long as I live; I
will have a bird next summer, and that will
stay all winter.”
“George, don’t you remember my beautiful
canary? It died m the, middle of,summer,
and we planted bright flowers in. the ground
where we buried it. My, bird did not live as
long as the tree.”
“Well, I don’t see as- wc can love anything.
Dear little brother. died before the bird, and
I loved him better than any bird,-or tree, or
flower. Oh! I-wish I could have something
to love that would not die.”
The boy paused. During the school hour
George and Mary had almost forgotten that
their tree was'dying, but at evening, as they
drew their chairs to whore their mother was
sitting, and began to arrange the seeds they
had been gathering, the remembrance of the
tree came up before them.
“Mother,’ said Mary, “you may give these
seeds to cousin'John; I never want another
garden.” , 1
‘‘Yes," added George, pushing the papers in
which he'had carefully folded them, towards
his mother,, “you may give them. If I could
find some seeds, of a tree that would never
fade, I should like then to' have a garden. Is
there any such garden, mother ?”
“Yes, George, I have regd of a garden where
the trees never die.”

“A real garden, mother?”
“Yes, my son, in the middle of the garden,
I have been told,' there run? a pure river of
water clear, as crystal, and on each side of the
river is the tree of life —a tree that-never
fades. That is the garden of Heaven. There
you may love and love forever. There will
be no death, no fading there,’ Let your trea

something to which your heart can cling
without and without disappointment.

seemed- like a curse was in reality a blessing,
and be thankful for the fate which drove his
ancestors to seek a now homo across tho At
lantic. Bo that as it may, wo are very siire
.-.that the young prince Avill receive in America,
■if. he goes there, a', willing and enthusiastic
welcome.’ There can bo no doubt that’ the
prince would not recross the Atlantic without
having, at least, paid a visit to the States, and
if tho reception were public, it would bo ac
cepted as a proof that tho American people
are glad to recognize officially the bpnd of un
ion, arising from a common origin and a com
mon language, which should always subsist
between tho two countries. A visit of the
.Prince of Wales to America would bo some
thing more than an ordinary royal visit, for it
.ought to mean that, so far as the great prin
ciple of political liberty is concerned, there is
no real difference of opinion between English
men and Americans. We have; indeed, had
bccasion very frequently to criticise the insti
tutions, of America. We,do not like them,
and by every means in our power, wo shall
rendeaver to prevent their establishment in
this country. At the same .time, while we

A Tale oe Unrequited Love. —The editor
of the .Ureka JJuign relates as 'follows how he
once got in love and “apt the mitten
We were never, kina reader, “desperatein
love’' but once, and that was with a red—rip,
auburn-haired girl; with a freckled complex
ion, who had but a few pretensions to bounty;
but then she had such really beautiful eyes,
deep liquid orbs, through which her soul, in
moments of tenderness, looked out in passion
ate fervor, and, in.joyous mirth dashed and
sparkled.with the light of a* thousand dew
drops—diamonds, wo wore going to say—but,
wo never saw a. thousand diamonds. Her
name was Laura—which, when breathed soft
ly by a very soft lover, is a very sweet name
—ahd her clear ringing laugh fell around you
like a shower of silver bolls. Moreover, she
wore a dark, wine colored-dress, trimmed with
lilac colored velvet and black fringe, with a
neat little white collar of line lace, which is
the prettiest of dresses, and,has the effect to
make a very plain girl to look absolutely
charming. She never perforated her car, to
hang thereby a pendulum of glass or brass,
and the only ornament on the little, white
hand, which needed none, was a plain gold
ring, sacred to the memory of a maiden pro
mise., Well, ope evening—it was moonlight
in the summer time—we sat alone' on the
porch, by the cottage door, holding that little,
■ white hand in a gentle pressure, but one arm
had stolon from her waiat, and a silent song
°f joy, “like the music of the night,” was in
our soul. Our lips mot in a sweet, delicious
kiss, and bonding softly to her ear, we whis
pered the tale of passionate devotion—wo pro

Ilubils 0/ Animals,
Between the bate and the carnivorous ani
mals there are two or three families which
naturalists have agreed, to call insectivorous, ■
from their, usual food. The mold, or Talpa, is
the first of these. It possesses, in common
with the inseotiyone, sharp, conical teeth
which,sprve to break the hard wing Cjffigrs,
&0., of the insects upon which they fecdft|«*Jic
mole, lives under tlio- ground, and is never
driven, except by an inundation, to leave the
network of galleries and cells with which ho
pierces the ground in every direction. With
his,long, sharp,snout bearing, like that of the
hog,.a. ring of cartilage, he opens his burrow,
apd with his powerfiil foro feet excavates his.
way with great rapidity, packing the earth
away 6n each side as he 'proceeds. Ilis eyes
are completely concealed until the thick, soft
fur is turned up, when they appear like small,
shining points, which are, undoubtedly, per
fect organs of vision, although they cannot
range over an extensive field. . They have no
external oar, but a small opening may bo dis
covered by proper scrutiny.. Notwithstand
ing this seeming defect, the. hearing of the
mole is. remarkably acute, and aids himin'dc
tecting the motions of his prey,' as well as in
escapingdanger. They are the cleanest of
animals, although they livo : constantly in the
soil; they avoid all wet, muddy places,.and
their furs retain no' particles of dirt. They
move with equal facility backwards or for*
wards, their fir ’ falling 'smoothly either way.
The female builds her nest in a hillock of
earth which she raises above the general level,
of the ground, that it may not bo drowned by
every rain, and fills with leaves and dry grass,
taking care to have a dozen or so galleries
running from the. nest in every direction, in
which she and her, .young may escape when
danger approaches. Although the mole ab
hors water,it can swim like-most animals,
and mdy be seen escaping in this way, when
low meadows are inundated by a freshet. It
is even recorded that moles have taken pos
session in the midst of a lake, of a deserted |
island by swimming from the, nearest point ol
land. •
The mole is not so abundant in this coun
I try as in England, and throughout the conti
nent of Europe. It exists; however, in con
, sidcrable numbers, everywhere in the North

'/ The sJireids form another family of tho.clhss
Ilf iusectivorm. These do not burrow like the
mole, but frequently enter thp galleries alrea
dy excavated! ■ The smallest of known tpiad
rupads belong to this family.
: TbC, hedgehog'aljtn, belongs.to this order,
They are found nearly all 'over Europe, Afri
ca, and the East Indies.’ In England it is
found about the size of a large rat, or .six or
eight inches in length, while in this country,
we find it twelve or fourteen inches long, and
weighing sometimes fifty pounds. It lives on
lizards,. toads and worms, and runs quite
om the ground, but when’ overtaken
rolls itself into a ball, presenting only amass
of prickly spines. If it is engaged in eating,
When disturbed, it frequently rolls Up dinner
and all, and is unrolled with the greatest' dif

protection against dogs, who are surolto fill

The. last family of this order is represented
by but one genus, the Bauxrings of the Island
of Sumatra. It appears intermediate between
the shrews and. squirrel. It lives in trees,
which it climbs with groat agility, and devours
the insects with which they are-infested,.
: The Fable of the AV axderino Jew.— The
legend of a Jew over wandering and never
dying, even from the crucifixion of Jesus to
this day, has spread over many European
countries. The accounts, however, ns in all
fables,-do not agree. One version is this:
AVhon Jesus was led to death, oppressed ,by
the weight of the cross, ho wished to rest him
self near the gate at the house of a shoemaker
named Ahasuorus. ‘ Tliis man, however,
sprang forth and thrust him away; Jesus
turned towards him, saying, “I shall rest,'
but thou shalt move on till I return.” From
that time ho has hud no rest, and is obliged
incessantly to wander about. Another version
is that given by Matthias Parisonsis,Aa monk
of the thirteenth century:—When Jesus was
led from the tribunal of Pilatus to death the
door-keeper, named Oartaffipus pushed him
from behind with his foot, saying," ‘‘ walk on
Jesus, quickly; why dost thou tarry ?” Jesus
looked at him gravely, and said, “I walk on,
but thou shalt tarry till I come.” And this
man, still alive, wanders from place to place, J
in constant dread of the wrath to come:. A
bird legend adds that this wandering Jew
falls sick every hundred yearsj' hut recovers,
and renews his strength; hence it is that,
oven after so many centuries ho does not look
much older than a eoptugenarian. Tims much
for the legends.- Not one of the ancient au
thors makes oven mention of such an account.
The first who reports some such' thing is a
[monk of 1 1 10 TSili century, when as is known
the world was filled witli pious fiction even to
disgust. However, the story has spread far,
so that it has hooomo a proverb,, “lie runs
about like a wandering Jew.” There are not
I persons wanting who assort to have scon the
wandering Jew. But when their evidences is
examined by the test of historical credibility,
it is found that 801119 imposter, had made use
of this fable to impose upon simple minded
people for some purpose, of his own; How
ever the legend is not altogether untrue; there
is a wandering Jew who roves about Europe,
throughout every century, Thisimperishablo
being is—prejudice against the Jews.
