A sad and feeble Intl:, of narrowed sense; Their forms are weak and wan, and winding pains Subdue them, burning heat and biting cold ; Their simply•counted years are hriel as few, And into sunless graves successive tribes In mournftil genet ations wander down. Yet that eternal knowledge, unrevealed, Wldch breathes through all created things, and lilts Qurselves thus nearer to its Spurce unknown— Something of this is theirs, feeding desire To question mole and so to work and thrive F After their fashion ; and tic secret laws I (Ii beauty and of force, they seek them out And bend them to their use, and then—they die. A sad, sad race, a melancholy world I Since What is sent to light their little round Breeds in them vain ambitions, and they yearn For immortality, and haply 11 ut Something within aim Motional sort, To leel, and know, and love. were it but pure.

STEDMAN —lie Gala.rp for May. Life of Fred Douglass ll= In resuming the continuation of this most interesting narrative, we present our readers with severid or ,the most writing incidents in the lid of Douglass. His li g ht with his nuts ter, Mr. Covey, while it shows the cowardly disposition or the American shareholder, serves to place vividly berme the view the bold and daring character of the writer him self, who has by this time, in the eyes or. the majority or.our subscribers, iv-sinned quite the light or a hero—and a hero, too, in whose ad - ventures and transactions revery reeling heiirt must sympathise. In talking of Sttmly .lenldns, Douglass says: Sandy had a free wife, Will/ lived t in e• miles from Mr. Coney's ; and it being Saturday, he was On his way to see her. I told ldm my circumstances, and he very kindly invited !lie to go home with him. I went ionic with him and Milted this whole ntat;.er over, and got his advice as to what course ir was best for me to pursue. I found Sandy an odd adviser. Ile told :au with great solemnity, I must go back'to Covey ; lot that before I went, 1 must go with him into another part or the woods, where there was a certain mot, which, if 1 would take sonic or it with Me, carrying it at- ir,tys 'o mg right side, would render It impos sible for Mr. Covey, or any other white tuan, to whip nn•. Ile said he hail carried it for years; and since he had done so, he had never received ablow, and never expected to, while he carried it. lat fii . st rejected the idea, that the simple carrying Of a root in my pocket would have any such effect as he ha•.l said, anti was not dis posed to take it ; but Sandy impressed the ne cessity with much earnestness, telling me it could do no harm, if it did no good. To Please him. I at length took the root, and. ac e.a•ding to his direction. carried it upon my right side. This was Sunday morning. I im mediately started f.tr home; and upon enter ' lug the yard gate, out came Mr. Covey on his way, to meeting. Ile spoke to me very kindly, bade toe drive the pigs front a lot near by, and passed on towards the church. Now this sin gular conduct of Mi. Covey really made me begin to think that there was something in the r,,,t which Sandy had given me ; and had it been on any other day titan Sunday, I could have attributed the conduct to no other cause than the influence of that root ; and as it was I was halt inclined to t Link the root to be some thing mort• than lat first had taken it be. All went well till Monday Morning. On this DiOniing, the virtue or the root was fully tested. Long belbre daylight, 1 was called to go and rub, curry, and feed the horses. I OiWyeti, glatl to obey. But whilst thus engaged, whilst in the act of throwing dtlWll some blades from the loft, Mr. Covet• entered the stable with a long rope; and just as I Was half out of the loft he caught hold or my legs, yid Was about tying inc. As soon as 1 found out what he was up to, I gave a sudden spilt; and as I did so, he holding to toy legs, I was brae ;In sprawling on the stable floor. Mr. Co vey seemed now to think he had me, and could do what lie pleased; but at this moment—rrom whence caste the spirit I don't know—l re ' soleed to tight ; and suiting my action to the resolution, I seized Covey hard by the throat ; and as I did so, I rose. Ile held on to me, and Ito him. My resistance was so entire ly unexpected, that Covey seemed all mken aback. Ile. trembled like it leaf. This gave Me assurance, and I held him easily, causing the blood to run where I touched him wit h the cads or my lingers. Mr. Covey soon called pot to Hughes Mr help. Hughescante, and, while Covey held me, attempted to zee my right hand. Mille he was in the act of doing so, I watched nty chance, and gave him a heavy kick close un der the ribs. This kick thirty sickened Hughes, so that he left Me in the hands or Mr. Covey. n.is kick had the effect or not only weakening Hughes, but Covey also. - When he saw Hughes bending over With pain, his courage quailed. He asked Me if I meant to persist in my resistadce. I told him I did come what might ; that he had nsed me like a brute for six 111011111 s, !tad that I Was deter !' mined to be used so no longer. With that, he strove to dries me to a stick that' WWI lying just out of the stable door. He meant to knock me down. But just as lie was leaning over to get the stick, I seized hint Whit bath I hands by Ids collar,' and brought him by a sudden snatch to the ground. By this time till came, Covey called upon hint for ,assis tanee. Bill wanted to know what he could do. Covey said, `Take hold of him, take hold of hint I' Bill said his master hired him out to work, and not to help to whip flue ; so he left Covey and myself to tight our own battle out. We were at it fur nearly tw•o, hours. Covey at length let me go, nulling and blowing at a great rate, saying that If I had not resisted, lie would .not have whipped me half so much. The truth was, that he had not whipped Inc at all. I considered him as get ting entirely the worst end of the bargain ; for he had charm no blood front me, but I 'it'd front blm, The whole six. mouths afterwards, =I that I spent with Mr. Covey, he never laid the weight of his finger upon me in anger. le would occasionally say, he didn't want to get hold of me again. "No," thought I, "you need not ; for you will come off worse than you did before," From this time I was never again what might be called fairly whipped, though I remained a. slave four years afterwards. I had several, fights, but was never whipped. It was for a long time a matter of surprise to me, why Mr. Covey did not Immediately have me taken by the constable to the whipping post, and there regularly whipped for the crime of raising my hand against a white man in defence of myself. And the explanation I can now think of does not entirely satisfy me ; but such as it is, I will give it. Mr. Covey enjoyed the most unbounded reputation for being a first-rate overseer and negro breaker. It was of considerable importance to him. That reputation was at stake ; and had hesent me—a boy about sixteen years old —to the public. Whipping-post, his reputation would have been lost ; so, to save his reputa- Um:, he suffered me to go unpunished. My term of actual service to Mr. Edward, Covey euded on Christmas day, 1833. The days bet Ween Christmas and New Year's day are allowed as holidays ; and, accordingly, we were not required to perform any labor, more than to feed and take care of the stock. T his time we regarded as our own, by the grace of our masterS ; and we therefore used or abused it nearly as we pleased. Those of us who had families at a distance, were generally allowed to spend the whole six days in their society. This time, however, was spent in various ways. • The sober. staid, thinking, and indus trious of our number would employ themselves in making corn-brooms, mats, horse-colars and baskets ; and another class of us would spend the time in hunting opossums, hares, and coons. But by Far the larger part engaged in such sports and merriments asball-playing, wrestling, running that-races, fiddling, danc ing, 'Lod drinking whiskey ; and this latter mode or spending the time was by far the most agreeable to the feelings of our masters. 'or instance, the slavenolthors not only like to see the slave drink.of his own accord, but will adopt various plans to make him drunk. Otte plan is, to make bets on their slaves as to who can drink the most whiskey without getting drunk ; and in this way they succeed in getting whole multitudes to drink MEE! On the Ist of January, 1834, I left Mr. Covey, and went to live with Mr. William Freeland, who lived about three miles from . St. Michael's. I soon found Mr. Freeland a very dilffirent man from Mr. Covey. Though not rich, he was what would be called an cd utaed southern gentleman. Ile, like Mr. Covey, gave us enough to eat; but, unlike Mr. Covey, he also gave us sufficient dine to take our meals. lie worked us hard, but al ways between sunsise and sunset. He re quired a good deal of work to be done, but gave us good tools with which to work. His larin was large, but. he employed hands enough to work it, and with case, compared -with many of his neighbors. My treatmenti . while in Ins employment, was 'heaven, Com pared with what I experienced at the hands of Mr. Edward Covey. Mr. Freeland was hims:lf the owner of but two slaves. Their names were Henry Harris and John Harris. The rest of his hands he hired. These consisted of myself, Sandy Jenkins, and Handy Caldwell. Henry and John were quite intelligent, and in a very little while after I went there, I succeeded in creating in them at strong desire to learn how to read. They very soon -mustered up some old spelling books, and nothing would do but that I must keep a Sabbath school. I held my Sabbath school at the house of a free colored man. I had at one time over forty scholars, and those of the right sort, ar dently desiring to learn. They were of all ages, though mostly men and women. Every moment they spent in that school they were liable to be taken up and given thirty-nine Elm The year passed off smoothly. It seemed only about halt as long as the year which pre ceded it. I will give Mr. Freeland the credit of being the best master I ever had, till I became ray own toaster. At the close of the year 1834, Mr. Freeland again hired me of my master for the year 1833. But, by this time, I began to want to live upon free land, as well as with Freeland ; and I was no longer content, therefore, to live with him or any other. slaveholder. I be gan, with the commencement of the year, to prepare myself liar a final struggle, which should decide my fate one way or the other. My tendency was upward. I was fast approach ing manhood, and year after year had passed and I was still a slave. These thoughts roused me—l must do something. I therefore re solved that 1835 should not pass without wit nessing du attempt on my part to secure my liberty. But I was not willing to cherish this determination alone. My fellow-slaves were dear to me. I was anxious to have them par ticipate with me in this, my life-giving deter mination. I therefore, though with great prudence, commenced early to ascertain their views and feelings in regard to their condi tion, and to imbue their minds with thoughts of freedom. I bent myself to devising ways and means for our escape, and meanwhile strove, on all fitting occasions, to impress them with the gross fraud and inhumanity of slavery. I went first to Henry, next to John, then to the others. I found in them all warm hearts and noble spirits. They were ready to hear, and ready to act when a feasible plan should he proposed. This was what I wanted. I talked to them of our want of manhood if we submitted to our enslavement without at last one noble effort to be free. We met often and" consulted frequently, and told •ur hopes and fears, recounted the difficulties, real and imagined, which we ,should be called on to meet. At times we were almost dis posed to give up, and try to content ourselves with our Welched lot; at oth ers, we were firm and unbending in our determination to go. Whenever we suggest ed any plan, there was shrinking—the odds were fearful. Our path was beset with the greatest obstacles ; and if we succeeded in gaining the end of it, our right to be free was yet questionable—we were yet liable to be re turned to bondage. We could see no spot this side of the ocean where we could be free. We knew nothing about Canada. Our knowledge of the north did not extend farther than New York ; and to go there, and be forever bar rassed with the frightful liability of being re turned to slavery—with the certainty of being. treated tenfold worse than before—the thought was truly a horrible one, and one which It was not easy to overcome. The case some times stood thus : At every gate through which we were to pass wo saw a watchman, at every ferry a guard, on every bridge a sentinel, and every wood a patrol. We were hemmed in upon every side. Here were the fiifilculties, real or imagined—the good to be sought, and the evil to be shunned. On the one hand, there stood slavery, a stern reality, glaring frightfully upon us—its robes already crimson ed with the blood of millions and oven now feasting itself greedily upon our own flesh. Ott the other hand, away 1 ack In the dim dis tance, under the flickering light of the north star, behind some craggy hill or snow-covered mountain, stood a doubtful freedom half frozenbeckoning us to come and share Its hospitality. This in itself was sometimes enough to stagger us ; but when we permitted ourselves to survey the road,we were frequent ly appalled. Upon either side wo saw grim death, assuming the most horrid shapes. Now it was starvation, causing us to eat our own flesh ; now we were contending with the waves, and were drowned; now we were overtaken, and torn to pieces by the fangs of. the terrible bloodhound. We were stung by scorpions, chased by wild beasts, bitten by snakes,and finally, after having nearly reached the desired spot—after swimming rivers, en countering wild beasts, sleeping in the woods, suffering hunger and nakedness—we were overtaken by our pursuers, and in our resist. ance we were shot dead upon the spot say, this picture sometimes appalled us, and made us " rather boar those Ills wo bail, Than fly to others that wo know not of." In coming to a fixed determination to run away, we did more than Patrick Henry, when be resolved upon liberty or death. 'With us it was a doubtful liberty. at most, and almost certain death if we failed. For my part, I should prefer death to hopeless bondage. Sandy, one of our number, gave up the no tion, but still encouraged us. Our company then consisted of Henry Harris, John Harris, Henry Bailey, Charles Roberts, and myself. Henry Bailey was my uncle, and belonged to my master. Charles married my aunt: he belonged to my master's father-in-low, Mr. William Hamilton The plan we finally concluded upon was, to get a large canoe belonging to Mr. Hamilton, and upon the Saturday night previous to Eas ter holidays, paddle directly up the Chesapeaek Bay. On our arrival at tho head of the bay, a diatance of seventy or eightyeilles from where we lived, it was our purpose to . turn our canoe adrift, and follow the guldanco of the north star till we got beyond the limits of Maryland. Our reason for taking the water route was, that we were less liable to 'be suspected as runaways; we hoped to be regarded as fisher. men ; whereas, If we should take the land route, we should ho subject to interruptions of almost every kind. Any one having a white face, and being so disposed, could stop us, and sub ect us to examination. The week before our intended start, I wrote several protections, one for each of us. As well as I can remember, they were in the fol. owing words :—" This is to certify that I, the nulersigned, have given the bearer, my ser- vans, full liberty to go to Baltimore, and spend the Easter holidays. Written with mine own band, tte., UM.— WILLIAM II AMlLTONi—near St. Michael's, in Talbot County, Maryland." We were not going to Baltimore ; but, in going up the bay we went toward Baltimore, and these protections were only intended to protect us while on the bay. As the time drew near for our departure, our anxiety became more and more intense. It was truly a matter of life and death with us The strength of our determination was about to be fully tested. Every man stood firm ; and at our last meeting we pledged ourselves afresh, and in the most solemn manner, that, at the time appointed, we would certainly start in pursuit of freedom. This was in the middle of the week at the end of which we were to be off. We went, as usual, to our several fields of labor, but with bosoms highly agitated with thoughts of our truly hazardous undertaking. We tried to conceal our feelings as much as possible, and I think we succeeded very well. After a . painfal waiting the Saturday morn- ing, whose night was to witness our departure, fame. I hailed it with joy, bring what of sadness it might. Friday night was a sleepless one forme. I probably felt more anxious than the rest, because I was, by common con sent, at the head of the whole affair. The responsibility of success or failure lay heavily upon me. The glory of the on& and the con fusion of the other, were alike miab. The first two hours of that morning were such as I never experienced before, and hope never to experience.again. Early in the morning we went, as usual, to the field. We were spread ing the manure ; and all at once, while thus 'engaged, I was overwhelmed ' with an inde scribable feeling, In the fulness of which I turned to Sandy, who was near by, and said, "We are betrayed 1" " Well," said lie, "that thought has this moment struck me." We said no snore. I was never more certain of any thing. The horn was blown as usual, and we went up from the field to the house for breakfast. I went for the form, more than for want of anything to eat that morning. Just as I got to the house,.in looking out at the lane gate, I saw four white men. with two colored men. The white men were on horseback, and the colored men were walking behind, as if tied. I watched them a few moments tilt they . .got up to our lane bate. Here they halted, and tied the colored men to the gate post. I was not yet certain as to what the matter was. In a few moments in rode Mr. Hamilton, with a speed betokening great excitement. He came to the door, and inquired if Master William was in. He was told he was In the barn. Mr. Hamilton, without dismounting, rode up to the barn with extraordinary speed. In a few moments he and Mr. Freeland returned to the house. By this time the three constables rode up, and in great haste dismounted, tied their horses, and met Mr. William and Mr. Hamilton returning from the barn ; and alter talking awhile, they all walked up to the kitchen door. There was no ono in the kitchen but myselband John. Henry and Sandy were up at the barn. Mr. Freeland put his head in at the door, and called me by my name, saying there were some gentlemen at the door who wished to see me. I stepped to the door, and inquired what they wanted. They at once seized me, and without giving me any satis faction, tied me—lashing my bands closely together. I insisted upon knowing what the matter was. They at length said that they learned I had been in a "scrape," and that I was to be examined before my master ; and if their information proved false, I should not be hurt. In a few moments, they succeeded In tying John. They then turned to Henry, who had by this time retuened, mid commanded him to cross his hands. " I won't I" said Henry, in a firm voice, indicating his readiness to meet the consequences of his refusal. " Won't you ?" said Tom Graham, the constable. " No, I won't 1" said Henry, in a still stronger tone. With this, two of the constables pulled out their shining pistols, and swore by their Creator, that they would make him cross his hands, or kill him. Each cocked his pistol and, with fingers on the trigger, walked up to Henry, saying, at the same time if he did not cross his hands, they would shoot his damned heart out. " Shoot me, shoot me ?" said Henry ; "you can kill me but once. Shoot, shoot,—and be d—tl I I won't be tied ! " This ho said in a tone of loud defiance ; and at the same time, with a motion as quick as lightning, ho with one single stroke dashed the pistols from the hand of each constable. As he did this, all hands fell upon him, and, after beating him some time, they finally over powered him, and got him tied. • . During the scuffle I managed, I know not how, to get my pass out; and, without being discovered, put it Into the fire. We were all now tied; and just as we were to leave for Easton jail, Betsy Freeland, mother of Wil liam Freeland, came to the door with her hands full of biscuits, and divided them be tween Henry and John. Bhe then delivered herself of a speech to the following effect : Addressing herself to me, she said, " You deaf I You yetioto devil .it was you that put it into the heads of Henry and John to run ROBERT IREDELL, JR., IP fain anti Sancp Soh Vitinttr, No. 45 EAST HAMILTON STREET, El ELEGANT PRINTINGS LATINT ITT LIS Stamped Cheek., Cards, Circulars, Paper Books, Cousti tattoos and Bv B -Laws, School Catalogue.'Catalogue.'

But for you, you long-legged mulatto devil 1 Henry nor John would never have thought of such a thing." I made no reply, and was immediately hurried off towards Bt. Michael's. Just at a moment previous to the scuffle with Henry, Mr. Hamilton suggested the propriety of making a search for the pro tections, which he had understood Frederick had written for himself and the rest. But just at the moment he was about carrying his proposal into effect, his aid was needed in heliiing to tie Henry ; and the excitement at tending the scuffle caused them either to for get, or to deem it unsafe under the circum stances, to search. Bo we were not yet con victed of the intention to run away. When wo got about half way to St. Mi chael's, while the constables having us in charge were looking ahead, Henry inquired of mo what he should do with his pass. I told hint to eat it with his biscuit, and ;own nothing; and we passed the word around, " Own nothing;" and " Own nothing I." said we all. Our confidence in each other was un shaken. We were resolved to succeed or fall together, after the calamity had befallen 118 1 as much as before. We w ere now prepared for anything. We were to be dragged that morning fifteen miles behind horses, and then to be placed in the Easton jail. When we reached St. Michael's, we underwent a sort of examination. We all denied that we even intended to run away. Wn did this more to bring out the, evidence against us, than• from any hope of getting clear of being sold ; for, as I have said, we were ready for ,that. The fact was, wo cared but little where we went, so we went together. Our greatest concern was about separation. We dreaded that more than any thing this side of death. We found the evidence against us to be the testimony of one person ; our master would not tell who it was ; but we came to a unanimous deci sion among ouitielves as to who their in formant was. We were sent off to the jail at Euston. When we got there, we were do- livered up to the sheriff, Mr. Joseph Graham; and by him placed in jail. Henry, John, and myself were placed in ono room together: Charles and Henry Bailey in another. Their object in separating us was to hinder concert. We had been in jail scarcely twenty min utes, when a swarm of slave traders, and agents for slave traders, flocked into jail to look at us, and to ascertain If we were for sale. Such a set of beings I never saw be fore. 1 felt myself surrounded by so many fiends from perdition. A band of pirates never looked more like their father, the devil. They laughed and grinned over us, saying, " Ah, my boys I we have got you, haven't we P" And after taunting us in various ways, they ono by one went into an an examination of us, with intent to ascertain our value. They would impudently ask us if we would not like to have them for our masters. We would make them no answer, and leave them to find out as best they could. Then they would curse and swear at us, telling us that they could take the devil out of us In a very little while, if we were only in their hands. "',% bile in jail, we found ourselves In much more comfortable quarters than we expected when we went there. Wo did not get much to cat, nor that which was very good; but we had a clean room, from the window of which we could see what was going on in the street which was very much better than if we had been placed in one of the dark damp cells. Upon the whole, we got along very well, so far as the jail and its keeper were concerned. Immediately after the holidays were over, contrary to all our expectations, Mr. Hamil ton and Mr. Freeland came up to Easton, and took Charles, the two Henrys, and John out of jail and carried them home leaving me alone, A RAMPART OF THE DEAD Another charge soon followed, and was re pulsed ; but the Rebels improved the oppor tunity to place a field-piece in Position, so as to rake the crater through the traverse on the right. There was an open place at our end of the traverse about eight feet wide and four feet deep. A breastwork must be buililacross it, or all be lost. General Bartlette ordered a detail of colored troops for this duty, and they commenced throwing in chunks of clay, and, stripping the dead, filled their clothing with dirt. A few moments showed them that the work could not be accomplished in this man ner. Some one cried out " Put in' the dead men ;" i ond this suggestion was instantly acted upon. There were plenty of dead, and the men piled them across the gap, as cord wood is piled. White and Black, Union and Rebel, officers and privates, were heaped on top of each other, and formed a solid barri ' cade of human flesh. Bome of the working party were killed, and their comrades throw them in with the rest. A dozen attempts to charge were made by the enemy, but none succeeded,till noon, when they advanced with in fifty feet of us. A Rebel mortar battery, throwing ten-inch shells, bpened tire, and after a few trials, succeed in obtaining, our range so well, that the% dropped their shells directly into the crater. Every shell brought death and wounds into our ranks. Looking upward, we could kee them coming, a little black speck ; then hear them " whish, wh whish," then a deafening explosion, and men would be stricken down. The Medur of a Maine regiment—a stout, portly mad—was struck.by a shell, and his head and neck sev ered clean from his body.—From " TM Bat• tie of the Mine," in OVERLAND MONTHLY for April. A MORTAL STRUGGLE IN SPAIN.—Four centuries scent to have wrought but little change in the temperament of "purple' Spain. It was in 1309 that the two brothers, King and Pretender, Pedro the Cruel and Henry of Trastanaro, grappled in mortal struggle in the tent of Allan do la Houssayo, at Montle'. Pedro bad been carried there prisoner. On entering the tent Henry ex claimed, " Where is that bastard and Jew who calls himself ' King of Castillo 4' " Pe. dro, as fearless as ho was cruel, stepped in• stantly forward and replied, " Here I stand, the lawful son and heir of Don Alfonso ; and it is thou that art but a false bastard." The rival brethren instantly grappled like lions ; the French knights and Bertrand du Guesclin looking on. Henry drew his poniard and wounded Pedro in the face, but his body was defended by a coat of mall. Henry fell across a bench, and his brother, being upper most, bad well nigh mastered him, when one of Henry's followers. seizing Don Pedro by the leg, turned him over; and his master. thus at length gaining the upper hand, In stantly stabbed the King to the heart. THE BEND.-A good story comes from Cambridge. It Is said that when the Greek Archbishop of Syros and Tenos at tended the other day in the Senate House, for the purpose of receiving his honorary degree of LL.D., he dropped his pocket handkerchief and on stooping down to recover It one of the undergraduates In the gallery exclaimed, " Hurrah for the Grecian bend I" The effect was of course, so Intensely ludicrous that the whole assemblage was convulsed with laugh ter.
