The Garden and the Grove1 " " - BY E. O, .WHEELER, D. D. 11 Flowers are the alphabet of angels, whereby ' They write oh hills and fields mysterious truths'." Some persons seem to possess' minds so' consti tuted that the gentle beauties of nature are .inca pable of awakening within them scarcely any sense of enjoyment. The roaring torrent,1 ihd' vivid lightning's flash, the commotion of .the ele ments, ihe frowning mountain, the , mighiy cata ract, and the heaving ocean, may. .fill them with wonder and admiration ; while the music 61 the bird, the mellow tints of a sunset sky, the delicate hiies and sweet fragrance of flowers, the silvery mnon-beam falling " trembling and soft," upon the quiet lake, strike no answering chord in their hearts. But there are others, wherever they may be, whether reclining beneath the orange bough,, or traversing a forest, wild and unknown, are.ever tracing out objects bright and fair. Possessing ex quisite" sensibilities and hearts lightly moved, their senses are delighted with" some half-bidden, half expanned rose bud, some life-refreshing fragrance wafted on the breeze, some fleecy cloud, sailing along the blue expanse of heaven, or some wild note of melody coming forth from a neighboring grove. To minds thus formed, a field, a forest, or a garden, presents a fruitful source of enjoy ment and near the heart, enkindled into pure and elevated sentiments by objects like these, the'tender virtues cluster, and there the sister Graces dwelf. Butaside from their beauty, delicacy and fra-i grance, trees and flowers are doubly endearing and attractive by all the charms of association While passing through the forest glade, or wandering along the river's flowery bank, the children of Na ture will often be affected with peculiar feelings with sacred remembrances. He will think of 1 I k the days of his childhood, ere kiridred: lies '.had been severed when kind -parents sympathized with him in all his joys and sorrows when broth ers and sisters mingled in his sports ahd cheered him onward to the goal of success in all his childish enterprises when mapy a green spot was, hal lowed by the instructive voice of a mother's' -tenderness and love, and" when,' amid the spreading branches ofsome favorite tree' he opened the hook of science and sought for clasic lore. He will think also of the time whea the carelessness and simplicity, of childhood gave way to "the more elevated thoughts and romantic fancies 6f youtK, when he began to. see" richer beauties arpunflj. above and beneath him, than he had ever before conceived of; when he -looked upon 'the. moral tvofld too, with enlightened vision, and fijrst felt the pleasure of confiding friendship. Flowers were among the first tokens of affections present ed by congenial spirits in years gone By. 0 how exultfhgly does' the soul leap up at such remem brances", and strive, to break the .cords that bind, it down to. earth's dull,. sad realities, and rise to that " golden atmosphere of dreams" in which it rev elled iri'those sflnriy days', now fled, alas ! forever. A garden is calculated to awaken recollections, and suggest reflections of ihe noblest and most in structive character. In the garden" of Eden our first Parerits enjoyed their " pleasant labor' to re form their flowery arbor', and their alleys green,'.' there, " from the. steep of echoing hill or thicke tV they often heard ..

Because $re jindT,her in this de grading condition, let it not be understood thai she is a negro. Ellen Crafts, though, a slave, is ..white : or, rather to be striciy coirect, a bruheiie. SVe isnow about nineteen years of age, and will readily pass in any circle as a dark-cblored white girl. Girls dark as Ellen, are as often met 'with, as ihose of fairer skin's? We are not describing the chief attraction of ihe ball-room, but something more, when' we 83y that .firmness, intelligence, and persever ance are distinctively arid impressively marked upon her countenance. Her hair is, long, straight and dark colored, nose prominent - eyes dark; large'ario1 impressive. We are thus par ticular, to shoW her connection with the Anglo Saxon, and to s'Hbw 'How liule Jliere is,.of any feature by which .ihe enslaved race 'is' so readi ly recognized.. ;. ,. : . 1 In the ciiy jfrpnx which Ellen fled, she ac ted as body servant ofr slave to another young woman, nossiblvher sister for our knowledge of the " patriarchal institution" leads readil and naturally to thai inference. ' While in this situation she married. It is for tlieprofii of the master that early marriages should be a law of custom. The union con tracted by Ellen proved to bo a happy one. The husband, William slaves have np right to other names has proved himself to be eve ry w'ay worthy of-her. By his industry; and by turning night into day, he contrived to pro cure enough m.Qney tot purchase .a portion of hs time from the man who clajmep; to own if,. It cost William all he had, but ii procured him privileges which enabled him, by assiduous. ap plication, to lay by another storer-a larger portion of whichz the lion s sbarej went to swell the master's ill-gptteh gain! for new and dear bought privileges. 4 By dint of saving and starving, William con irivedto accumulatefor himself and wife, enough to purchase for each', manv little comforts and privileges. They were thus enabled to ameli- orale their condjtipnj and were ,lor a !.rne( hap py. Though not peimitied to ee,:teac,U other more than once a weekj'.they.hadWany. secret meetings. . ' . . These stolen interviews were sweet and pre cious. Were they not, ye, who love the wife of your affections ? Thoughts of their condi tion, their hard lot, mingled with unavailing re grets, without doubt, were ihe principal ones exchanged between them. But this condition they were constrained to endure, almost joy- funy, in view oi tne greater oepnvation ana sufferings of their fellow slaves. : Privileges like these, however, were des tined to bear their rich harvest. Thoughts of kberty are never long. absentr from a. slave or prisoner.. Hope beckons forever, :even; through sorest il. This was.tjie great; subje.ctr.bet ween Ellen and William., In the fong lone hours.of thejiight, that were but ushering in. lo them, another day of .bondage, the spirit ,of liberty visited iherh. Not inappropriate to their con dition is ihe exciamatioh of Da.vid': 4i As the hart panteih after 'ifie' water brobltV,' so parileth my sourafter thee, O God1." ''It is quite certain thai they could Haye es caped from the city in which they were. But whither could they flee I Without a place, without means of support; . hunted by every slave catcher, " like ihe yarnidge upon the moun tains," surrounded Vy- e'nVmiesy-fheir capture was certain ; and stripes, separatibnaccumu lated woe, would' be their lot; J . . These considerations filled their hearts with sadness. But lib;erty, ever bright and fair, bid them to hop.erpn ;,Fpr many weeks ihey tho't oyer, every plan of escape, which promised suc cess, jul could find none.. They had heard vaguely, of the. abolitionists of the North.; but they .had , been represented to the. mastmonsiers more lo be -dreaded, ihaij the slave driver himself, and their 'hopes let them not that way. Still they would incfure concerning' them, and one day; suflTciem wa& learned to 'deierrnf herlheir course. They would flee to ihe abolitionists. The star in thef East, had indeed ariscrr, but how could ihey.,foHow its glorious paihThe nearest city lo them ,was Philadelphia a dis tance of one thousand miles, a weary fwayffor fugitives from slavery. 'But the delermihatlon once formed, every obstacle was lo be overcome. Accordingly their sleepihg and waking thoughts were given to find out the way to the spot where liberty dwelt., - , . r. i, ' The first obstacle to be overcome was lo ser .pure the necessary .ifunds for, the. proposed flight By double toil, by, a more than miserly saving, a sufficient sum was acquired. ..They wjere, for slaves really- rich, and npw freedom or death, raiher ihan slavery! was jheir joint language. The plan adopieddtSpiays a degree of in genuity which could' not have been acquired under the ordinary circumstances i of life.- Sol itary confinement, or a life of perpetual bon dage are the only incentive whifih bring out all ther latent ingenuity' of man'. The thoughTs of the captive are upon one point. The whole 7 f . energy and strength of his rriirid are directed to one aim. Let such an one but see the sligh test glimmer, and that faiih'whicU overcomes mountains, lifts the man into ihe paradise jio" would gain. Thai fajih secures the. boon. Jt was decided that Ellen,-should personate an invalid young mart, and thai William.ahould represent the servant. The plan promised in volved a large expenditure, since young men who travel with' thfeir servants arourjposed to be rich. ; Bui it secured this great, this aboun ded advantage,. By, this disguise they could t.ake the public high way and the most ;rapid conveyances. Besides the very boldness, the originality of tho plan was designed to bo their, greatest safe -guard, for, who would look for a fugitive from slavery under the hat of a pale faced, sickly 'youth, pursuing his way north, in quest of health, attended by a serving man? So- for the' plan. , lis execution was now ihe great point. Could a disguise, impenetra-' bletothe slave-catchers, whose sceni is like the blood-hounds and with ihe biood-hound.be procured ! Over. this vital question' Ellen and William pondered day and-.night, wiih palpita ting hearts. But that genius which gave the bold scheme birth, wa yel fertile in resources. The fir,st idea was a prestige of its full accom plishment. t There was no point, however minuie, in the habiliments of a young man, that was not stu died with as much care as Newton orHersheli studied the heavens. This was necessary; foe a'young woman who first attempts tho appare of a boy, is sure to be discovered at ihe first glarice, by an accurate observer. Hence iJllert practised nightly in. her new garb until she-had become jhoroughly trained. ? But io?ihe dress , itself. A slave cannot pur chase a suit, unquestioned, as another person may. Therefore; extreme caution became ne cessary, else ihe .cherished scheme of months would have been discovered and overthrown, They must die, for " if hope be dead, why seek to live." , William was ihe purchaser. At various pla ces and different 'times, udder numerous pre texts he bought-1 he required articles. The hat was a very high: bell cfowned, or as he stated it4; ,,uadpuble .ia.tor;y ..hal." : Next he bought a sack, which on being jmt on, proved " a world too wide," but Ellen thought that was no ob jection, as " sacks never fit !" The vest proved to be.aTery long one, reaching: below, the-hips, but fashionably cui ; and as it was " all the go," wasadopted without demur, especially as ths sack could he buttoned oyer and hide the dis proportion of its size. Then the pantaloons were of the most liberal dimensions, and boots, more easily obtained, completed this patt of the wardrobe. A. pair' of green glasses were pro cured for the purpbs'e of making Ellen look ol der,' for when fitted out in her new rig, she looked exceedingly young, beside her features might beTec'ogmzed by any person whom' ihey might meet, thai knew them, while .upon -their journey. . t . These preparalipns having been made, a day was appointed for the flight. That day, so fraughi with all,i,heir.wildesthope.s, arrived. No.lhing had been omited. Two trunks were obtained, sufficiently ponderous for the baggage of a young man on his travels. Nothing had been forgotten. As it became necessary to reglsier names at hotels and sign a certificate for th6 slave, " the servant who accompanied young' mister," a. bondage and a sling for EI leVs right arm' iv as thought of; why? She could not read or write. As impertinent trav ellers might scan the young man s face too closely, a convenient swelling, whicfi required poulticing, enveloped her cheeks. As voluble and inquisitive persons might be loo particular in iheif inquiries, sickness, fatigue of travelling and ihe swelling would be a sufficient excuse against rudeness for not answering. Thus equipped, William, having nerved his coiirage up, went boldly to the ticket office and purchased a " through ticket" for " young mas ter" and myself to " Filadelfy," no questions were asked and the tickets were obtained. Next mornjng, ihe fearful and dangerous pas sage was commenced. A't the i 'depot, Ellen was not recognized. So complete was her disguise, a porter there', one of her early sui tors1, addreesed her as "" young master." 'She kindly bestowedvupon him a small trifle to en courage him. in politeness. .Along the, road, at the various stopping pla ces, the " sickly youth" received ihe blessings of many for his, liberality in rewarding any slight service. J heir custom was to put up at ihe first hotels, for they determined to travel as " big bugs. They passed through many , perils and hair breadth escapes, but not once'did Ellen's cou rage fail, orher-inimitable and unapproachable endurance and perseverance give way during all- their journey through the slave states. Af rer the cars left Baltimore, for Philadelphia, William wearied with anxiety and watching. laid himself down to sleep in the " Jim Orow car," where he invariably rode, for a sve could not presume to ride with his faster. It was his invariable practice p fun nervously back at every stripping place to see that "young mas ter was sa(e," fcpr this affectionate attention he received the approbation of many passen gers, arid was rewarded with several presents.' And'frbm Washington to Baltimore, his devoted ndss to his master's health was pointed outn sevaral Northern gentlemen as ah evid'ehctPof the close bonds of affection subsisting beTwcel? the master and slave. We left William sleeping in the " Jim Cro'w car." At Havre de drace, where the Ferry is crossed, William remained sleeping. Ellen was called upon wiih other passengers' u change cars. But, where was her hubarii'?, Her courage began to fail and despair o ieiz upon her. She dreaded the worst) a woful disappointment, so near the goal of their de sffes. She could not be comforted until tho" baggage master relieved her, by rudely waking the black rascal" "who so neglected his mas ter. We will not attempt to describe Ellen's feelings when slie-was relieved from her fears.
