"Forty red striped ce . lleetona, *ad each •one after me," ejaculated the Squine. "Darn me, I must put a stop to this is; they will all overtake me before I read ho me." Saying which, he took oot Isis wallet and quietly set- ;tied merchant Brown's bill of $550.

" Here- ho caught sight of the red striped blanket, es , Joe, dis engaging himself from the old man, took to his heels. Squire Tobin's cudgel was fierce ly hurled after Joe, accompanied ivith a bear •ty curse upon merchant Brown and hii forty collectors in red striped blankets. It is unnecessary to say, that Joe Harkins was seen neat day topped off with a bran new hat. rar There ought to be a very pretty story somewhere recorded, of the maiden who vain ly sought a pet gazelle.all of a long summer's day, and found it at last in the, dark ; fur creepilng humbly througlithe grass, to discern, if she tight, the way the creature had wan dered,"hy its footprints on the green sward, the flowers its little feet had pressed, abed a sweeter perfuine than was 4. their wont, and -se, by the dying breath Of beauty, she traced the truant to the bed where he *as sleeping.

The eloquent ,Patriek Henry says, in - u ter-dated January 18, 1773: . . . T. f ' L 4 'it not a little surprising that.the pro fessors- of ChriAiariiiy, - wbosechief excellenw eouaist in softening the human heart, in cher ishing and improving its finer feelings, should encourage a practice Si. totally repugnant to . the first impres.sions of right • and wrong'?— What adds to the -wonder_is, that this abomi nable .practice has -. been introduced in ) the must enlightened ages. Times that scent to have pretensitms to boast of high. improve:, meats in the arta _and. sciences, and. refined morality, have brought into general- use, and guarded by many laws, a species of violence and tyranny which our more rude and barba rous, but more honest ancestors detested.— Is. it not amazing that at a time .when . the rights of humanity arc defined and .understrqxl with precision, in a country above all others fond of,liberty--that in - such an age and in such a country,'we find men professing a re. ligion the "moat mild, humane, gentle and generous adopting such a principle, as repug nant to bumanity,tis it ,is inconsistent with. the Bible, and destructive to liberty ? Every thinking,tionest man rejects it in speculation. Bow free in .practice, from cor.scientions,mo. lives! -Would-any one believe that I am. master of slaves of my own purchase ? .

It is the furthest - advance we can' make towards justice. It is a debt we owe to the purity of our religion, to show that it is at variance with that law which warrants slavery. " . . .
