A HALF TELLS IN PRISON, Slavery Illastrate44. ectxix runnisx To rise OP Tint INDEPENDEr : More than thirteen years ago the reading, hu mane public were astonished at the barbarity of Kentucky in kidnapping and draggingfne from the State of Indiana into her own do minion', "without dire .picicess ot law," and then sending:me to prison at Frankfort, where Ifemained 'until the 15th of last April. It was expected by' every one that before this a book would have appeared exposing that injustice and cruelty.: But, upon, my pardon, I;was unable to study, or write.-- Last November the work was attempted ; but finding my resources insufficient, I post poned it until, the e.oming-wiuM Season, in .order to.improve my health 'and replenish my purse. During those years of wonders I hive been forgotten by many, and people often ask where, for what, ario bow long was I imprisoned? , I submit this synopsis that that the public may be reminded of the his tory ; and, in the, words of Mr. Tilton him kit "that the world may'know that the Ro 'Dish Inquisition was not a whit more cruel than American. Slavery." - I visited the• South in 1851, for the purpose of recovering and removing to Wyoming County, N..T., the remains of my beloved father, who - fell at Lexington; Ky., by chole ra, in 1849.. On Sunday, the 9th of .Novem ber, I was assaulted- ill Jeffersonville, Ind.„ and in presence of one hundre.persons drag ged into Louisville, Ky., in violation of law, thrown into jail, heavily ironed, held to bail in the sum of $5,000, and, on the 25th . of Feb., 1859 - , forced to trial without a witness for de= 'fence, being ,refused compulsory process to obtain them, anti qpnvictect tipbn the most' glaring, shameless perjury of witnesses, ,four of whom had, according to the statement of Major General Lovel H. Rosseau, received or been.promisedfroin $5O to $159 for coriobor 7 ating testimoay , against me. Iwas confined in the prison at .Frankfort on the 9th of Hefei)... following, where, up to the 15th of last ;April, Isuffered under sen tence of fifteen years for giving aid and com-' fort to a fleeing slave girl, who had been doomed to the- highest price for physical beauty, in favor of the most libidinous scoun drel who might out-tempt the cupidity of a gold-loving kentuckian: , - - MUM During this time I 'suffered .every form of insult and every .variety and degree of cruel ty and . barbarism.. These began with cutting my hair so ai to excite ridicule.'

Hy first work was hackling hemp in a room four feet below tbe surface of the yard, and so crowded with men, badly ventilated; and filled with dust, as to prove fatal in a short time to most of its.

Mine soon stood at 900. yards ; and I was able frequent ly to make 50 yards over, for which I received 25 cents.

They - are pretty good judges of what constitutes a good. reader, .any. if the ' reader does not come up to the napectations, they, pass severe, .and not unmerited strictures upon the teacher. .They have no respect or patience for one Who spells out his words, or mumbles them inarticulately, or hurries over them in break-neck. style.. , And now as to what constitutes good reading. The main points are, Ortheepy and Expres sion. These embrace several minor details, =of. * which She most Important is. Articulation. Here is the, great failure.. Articulation Is not - thoroughly and exhurisfively ta ught: It is really distressing to go into a schoolrooin while a reading lesson is in progress,-and hear the scholars mumble over the -lemon. Some words, which are thought to be hard, are skipped entirely;' all connection with oth er 'words is lost sight of entirely, in the pro digious effort which is madkto pronounce the words, and the scholars 'in this way, uncon . sciously get into the habit of reading, in a drawling tone of voice, 1 .1 high sounds very much like the lazy • droning of a humble-bee on a warm day in summer. This acts as as excellent sedative - on 'the 'other 'chi:flare. None .of them 'are actually sleeping; but some are gaping, some are laughing in their 'sesta, and others are looking' vacantiy around the room, while all, unanimously join in thinking - the reading lesson a bore. . Reading may be taught, that scholars will look forward to the reading exercise with: pleasure, instead of .with'-dread and dislike. First let a lesson be appointed, not too long, and let it be distinctly understood that it is to be thoroqghly prepared, and' not laid aside,' in order to prepare- something else. When the class is called to recite, questions should be asked, to test their knowledge of. the sub ject matter of the lesson. The class should be drilled alinost daily in the elementary - sounds of the language. ,This need not take more than five minutes. All of the sounds need not be gond over every day ; let asingle , word he selected out Of the lesson for the day,: and all its elementary sounds given by the' - class in concert. Id" this - Way - all the pounds my be learned in , tr short time. Ail . marks and characters used in reading should.be ez plained to the, claps, a few times; and then. they should be , expected to explain them to, the teacher. For instance, in the sentence; Poor :Richard says, wrake care of. the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves, what are the commas, before the word take, and after the word , themselves, called; and what .is their use? In the sentence : And. the forest's life' was' in it, what Is the -Corina called. in forest's and what is its use? In the, - word touch'd, what is. the use of the apps-; trophe ? In the word water-lily,, what is the straight mark . called, and what is its use'? Arid so on with all - other marks Used in raid- tastiest allusions, or allusions. and inci dents referred to persons or places of note, should be commented anon, and explained to the claim ' If the - derivation, and , historic . . association of -words k in the' lesson be given, it will serve to awalf,.,en curiosity, and will add • greatly to the interest and animation-of the class. The' teacher should also call the at- •tention of the Scholars to 'the beauty ,of thought. and,expression In the lesacin, and thus he may help to form an exalted standard ' of taste which will partly stay the tide of trashy reading, which threatens to overwhelm theland. An excellent plan, which may be adopted at times, is to appoint some one of the scholars to read sothething from, a 'news paper or an entertaining book, and allow the class to criticise. Care should- be taken at all times, that scholars. Contract, no improPer . habits *hire readirig, holding the 'book awk wardly ; standing with hands in the pockets ; allowing the chin to rest" on the breast, thus impeding tho full-use of the voice:; etc., etc. -My remarks have been made chiefly with reference to higher classes in reading„ but . With some modification's, they: may apply as well to elementary classes. M. A.-12 MIL EDITOR :-At this stage of progress the rules for spelling may be learned to adyantage.
