A Lesson.
Oh! its ye heartless thousands,
A lowly lesson learn ;
All ye who think temptation
Your feet•should never tarn;
All ye who shout out uGuilty"
Upon the felon's head,
And banish him forever,
Soon as the world is said.
Come, pause a little mcmcnt,
Ere yet ye shout again—
Think not alone of human guilt,
But think of human pain;
Stay, stay those wicked feelings
That in your bosoms burn,
And even from a lowly song,
A lofty lesson learn.
Learn that the guilty convict
Was once a little child,
Who found his only happiness
Wnen'er his mother smiled;
Learn that his infant prattle
Might have a gentle tone
Ay. gentle as the children's
Ye fondly call your own!
Learn, ton, how soon the stripling,
Of parent was bereft,
Upon a strange and savage shore—
A little outcast left;
And, wonder not if guilty ones
Soon made his footseps roam—
Oh ! rather wood the wonder be
If they had stayed at home.
Then, while ye hear his sentence
To banishment l'or years,
From home alike and humankind,
Scorn not his tardy tears;
But learn the huly lesson, .
E'en while your laws avenge,
The end of human punishment,
Jfrfornt and not Revenzel_.

Anecdote of Lorenzo 6-,--1-
Dow was very exact in the appointments
he made to preach and sometimes airang,ed
them a long wad• ahead. He once preach
ed near otieof the small towns of Upper-
Georgia, and told his congregation, on that
day one year, he would preach to them
again
Tile next season, on a Saturday afternoon,
preceding the Sabbath of the appointed
time, the old man was jogging along the
main road in the direction of his congrega
tion. He noticed before him a stout little
neg.ro boy, of peculiarly active step and man
ner, who carried in his hand a small tin-horn,
such 11S are .used to call the people to their
meals.
The custom aMong many in the South is
to allow married omen to go to their wives'
houses. and children to visit their pni•ents en
s alt] r d a y evening, to stay with them on Sun
days. and as the regro‘s are musically in
clined, th e y carry a fife, or a banjo, Ora horn.
to give notice of their approach, and to be
guile the way. In other cases they whis
tle, sing or shout. A healthy cheerful ne
gro, of honest intentions, uses generally
some means of association, oven
.if he is
obli g ed to talk to himself.
Dow, according to his usual manner, en
tered into conversation with the boy, and
found he was about to visit the congregation
he had appointed to meet. [fthe truth must
be told, Lorenzo had an idea that the char
acter of his flock was that of a 'reckless, frol
icsome, kind, careless people,. upon whoM
it was necessary to make a very decided im 7
pression, or.his time would he thrown away
among them.
"What is your name, my lad asked Dow.
"Gabriel, sir," replied the goy, lifting n
new straw hat, and showing hiErivory, while
he actively stepped along to keep pace ‘vith
the preacher's horse.
'Can you blow upon that horn 1"
"Oh, yes, master, I can toot ti little."
"Well, let me henr. you."
So the negro inflated his velvet cheeks,
and made the woods resound. 4 11
4 , 1200 you, know-a. tall pine tare near the
stand at'Sharon 7" said D0w...,
"Yes, that I does' very well, _toaster."
Lorenzo then put his hand his pock
et, and pulling out a silver. dolfar, showed
it to the boy, and told hiin it he•wpuld Climb'
up in the pine tree before.the peOple meet at
the meeting, and keep quiet they until the
preacher called out his name, atl4.then blow
loudly on his horn, as he had jtlst done, he
would give him the silver dollaiN if he did
not tell any body about it. Th . ° negro ex
primed himself highly clelight ct such an
offer, and promised punctual ity with se-
Cresy.
On the Sabbath, a large mee ng assem
bled at Sharon to hear the famous Lorenzo
Dow.—Serious old men and their wives,
wild boys and their sweetheartainlmost all
on horseback, sometimes by tWas; - and threes
besides tiegroe's frcim a great distance; on foot'

renzo was good for a joke, even a he did
hit hard. Dow selected rather a brimstone
text, and . made the application as strong as
possible, but he forcedliis way slowly among
the mercurial, healthful, honest-hearted peo
ple, who were hard to frighten. Ile enu
merated the enormity of the yices he thought
to prevail, but they were so used to it that
the words slid over them like water over a
duck's back. At length he boldly describ
ed, in the calmest kind of language, the ap
pearance of "the last great day," and what
would be their candition when that day came.
"Suppose," exclaimed the preacher sudden
ly, and then patised—"that this was the
day !" he saw that some of the women be
came a little fidgety, and nodged the fellows
into silence and attention.! "Suppose," re- '
Twitted he, elevating his voice, "that this day
Gabriel should blow his trump !"
At this moment the little negro Showed
he was "a trump," and from the top of the
lofty pine, a loud and clamorous blast over
whelmed the audience. The womettsh rick
ed, the men rose in great surprise, the hor
ses tied round the camp, neighed, reared,
and kicked while the terrified negroes chang
ed their complexion to a dull purple color.
Never was alarm, surprise and astonishment
more promptly exhibited.
Lorenzo Dow looked with ..rave but pleas
ed attention upon the successful result of his
experiment, until the first clamor had sub
sided, and some began to estimate the char
acter of the artificial angel, and were about
to apply a little hickoryafter the pine ! But'
this suggestion Vvas arrested by the loud and
soleinn tones of the preacher, who looking
vrey firmly into the feces of his disturbed
audience, as he leaned ever them to contin
ue his discourse, impressively remarked—
" And now, if a little negro by, with a tin
horn, on the top of a pine bush can make
you feel how will you feel when the
day does come ?"
Doha a
I ti la i i- n i a r n a2 l i ha f t a i n s d" un " i ve r r - sal ly
known in Washington as one of the most ac
complished fellows in the city, always rea
dy to borrow or to drink with you. The oth
er day I saw him ire the Baltimore cars, and,
knowina• that he never has any money, I
was curious to know hoW he would get over
the road without paying, for I was sure he
would do it in some way.
"Probably he has got a ticket—borrow
ed the money to buy it with, or something
of that sort,'' said my friend.
"Not lie. Beau always traVels free, and
boards in the same way. He never pays
money when wit or trick will pass current
in their place ; but what a shocking bad
hat he has got on," said I, observing the di
lapidated condition of his ben ye r.
"It's some trick of his doubtless; for the
rest of his dress, you will observe, is quite
genteel."
"Yes, I see." ,
My-friend went 'on to tell me how Beau
had done his tailor out of a receipt in full for
his last years bill, and his landlady at his
last boarding place, and various other :speci
mens of his ingenuity and wit.
"I-le owed isle ten dollars,"said lily friend,
"but in attempting to collect it of him one
day . , I'll be hanged if he did'in get ten more
out of tuts ; so I think I shall let the matter
rest there, for fear of doubling the suns once
more."
At this moment, the conductor entered
the opposite end of the cars to gather the
tickets from the passengers, and give them
checks in return. Many of them—as is of
ten the case with travellers, who are fre
quently called upon, on popular routes, to
show their tickets—had placed theirs in
the bands of their hats, so that the conduc
tor could see that they mire all right, and
not trouble them to take them 'from their.
pockets at each stopping-place. I watched
Beau to see what his expedient would be to
get rid of paying for his passage. As the
conductor drew nearer, Beau thrust his
. head out of the window, and seemed absorb
ed in contemplating the.scenery on that side
of the road. Tho conductor spoke to him
for his ticket—there was no . answer.
"Ticket, sir," said he, tapping him light
ly upon his shoulder.
Beau sprang back in the car, knocking
his hat off in the road;:and leaving it in one
minute, nearly a mile behind.' He looked
first at the conductor, then out of the win
dow after his hat, and in a seeming fit of
anger, exclaimed :
"What the d—l do you strike n man in
that way for ? Is that your business ?—is
that what the company hire you for 1"
"I beg your pardon, sir 1 only want your
ticket," replied the conductor, meekly.
"Ticket Oh yes it's very well for you
to want my ticket, but I want my hat !" re
plied Beau, bristling up.
"Very sorry really. I•merely wished to
call your attention and I s took the only means
in my power," said the conductor: • .
"You had better use a7cane to attract a
personsettention next, nnd hit him over tile
head with• it, if he happens to be looking the'
Other way," replied the infuriated Beau.
"Well sir," I will apologise to you again
if you wish. I have done:so already once, ,
said tho notv disconcerted conductor. ••
. .. .
"Yes, no doubt, but that dont restore my
I property ; that's gone,"
I "Well, sir, I can not talk any longer—
I'll take your ticket if you please," said the
Conductor.
"Ticket ! ,Ilav'ent you just knocked it
out of the window, lint and all ? Do you
want to add insult to injury !"
"Oh, Y our o ticket was in your hat band ?'
suggested the conductor.
"Suppose you stop the train, and go back
and see," said the hatless Beau, With scorn
depicted on his face.
"Well, sir I shall pass you free over the
road then," replied die conductor, attempt
ing t4go on with his duty.
"'lle price of a ticket,' said Beau, "is one
dollar ; my beaver cost me a V. Your good •
sense will nt once show you that there is a
balance of four dollars in my favor, at any
rate."
The conductor hesitated. Beau looked
like a gentleman, to one riot perfectly well.
posted up in the human race ; he was well
dressed, and his indignation appeared most
honest.
"I'll see after I have collected the tick
ets," replied the conductor, passing en
through the car.
Beau sat in silent indignation, frowning nt
every body until the official returned, and
came and sat down by his side. Bea❑ then,
in an .earnest undertone, that we could only
overhear occasionally, talked to the conduc
ter like "a Dutch uncle," and we saw the
crestfallen man of tickets pay the hatless
passenger foUr dollars.
The trick was at once seen through by
both my friend and myself; and the next
day, over a bottle of wine at the Monument
[louse, Beau told us he was hard up, had'nt
a dollar, picked up an old hat at Gads
by's Hotel, in Washington, put his. cap in
his pocket, and resolved that the bet'should
carry him to Baltimore ; and it did; with 4•
dollars into the bargain !
