It is, no doubt the first and the last with thousands: and while multi tudes are rejoicing "because a man is born into the world," many we suppose, are sob ling farewell as they take the last look at the face of the dead. Now, just now, the knot of hymen is tied between some youth and virgin; and now the pair, plighted to each other for life, through weal and woe, are published apart by divorce. Now the fond parent is dealing on his absent son, and silencing the . forbodings of suspicious' age with the sanguine hope that his boy shall be the stay of his failing nature, and snatch his name and memory from the grave; and now that beardless boy in the full tide of festive feeling, is taking his first glass ignorant and careless of the disgrace and wretchedness he drinks. Now the reeling sot is blunder ing into his own door, to frighten the part ner of his bosom and her little ones—the pledges of her love. At this moment the pert lad who has the indulgence of his pa rents, lays a light finger on the price of his halter! and new, the prisoner falls into his last fitful sleep, to dream of execution and wake up to the horrid reality, and curse the lottery dealer or the actor, whose tempta tions lured him from the paths of honesty and industry! This minute is the bearer of joys or pangs to the memories of thousands, and the birth or bliss of thousands more. And what is it to me? Am I a mere spectator? or am I subject to the possible, nay, the sure results of this minute? Does the stream of time cease its rolling while I gaze on its surface and contemplate its course and termination? No:- it flows onward and bears away die. dainful ofa bribe and without discrimination, the noble and the mean, the rich and the poor; the beautiful and the ill.favored, the wise and the fool, the infidel and the saint, and heeds no mandate but His who bade it flow; and flow it shall till the same voice proclaim that time shall be no more. This minute I am in the current, for.the stream has no eddies. How rapidly have I passed in succession the numerous points on its banks! How shall I reach its mouth and then 0 then, the ocean! !—the bottomless and shoreless ocean!! And of materials and structury to mount its waves and move buoyantle and safely on its broad bosom? or shall grossness of our corrupt nature and habits sink me into its deep and dark abyss, not to drown, but to endure the suffocation ofendless despair? Then what, my fellow men is the minute worth? You may barter it for a dram or a monkey show; but royal grandeur, at the point of death, once exclaimed, "a world of wealth for an inch of timer. SETFING OUT IN LIFE —The anxiety of accumulating something for their children, if not enough for their entire support, at least enough to set them well afloat in lile, is very common among parents. It is in jurious—and arises from paternal weakness. Educate your children and you have done enough for them; let them take care ofthem selves; teach them to depend upon their own strength; and this con only be done by put ting them upon their own strength; in no other way can they acquire strength. Set ting a young man afloat upon the wealth accumulated by his father is like tying bind. ders under the arms of a swimmer—or rather, one that cannot swim without them; —ten chances to one he will lose his blad ders, and his dependence, and - then where is hel—teach him while young to swim a little with his own strength,and then chuck him into the stream of lifo to take care of himself without any extraneous helps. ,Un der such circumstances he will be likely to buffet the waves with far more success. KINDNE9B.-A kind temper and gentle disposition add so greatly to the happiness of an individual as well as to the pleasure of those around him, that it is a matter of surprise that any one can be so insane (for it is nothing but a species of madness) as to indulge in harsh and unreasonable tem pers, thus marring his own enjoyment, and making the condition of those around him miserable. Surely it is better to be loved and respected than to be hated and despised. TlMM—After all,the most natural beau. ty in the world is honesty and moral truth. For all beauty is truth. True features make the beauty of the face; and true proportions the beauty ofarchitecture; as true measures that of harmony and music. In poetry, which is all fable, truth still is the perfec tion. WRITING POETRY.-4 have been led to think, that the composition of *try - is, to a great extent, injurious to the mind. It induces a feeling of melancholy that unfits a person for the active and useful duties of life, in many instances causes an indtvidual to become too isolated in feeling, if not mis• anthropical. The inspiration is a pleasing, but tot i exciting a kind of enthusiasm, and the mind generally emerges frnm it wearied and unsatisfied. There have been very few great poets who were not unhappy and rest less in disposition. A nil-Slavery. For the Star and Danner. Anti-Slavery Meeting. A meeting of Freemen opposed to SLA. VERY, was held at the "Two-Taverns," Mountjoy township, Adame county, Pa. on Saturday the seventeenth day of September, 1836. The meeting was duly organized by appointing ROBERT YOUNG, President; ANDREW LITTLE and CORNELIEB lionort• •rnii.x.ri, V ite.P residents, and Josiah Benner, Secretary. One of the freemen composing the' meet ing offered tho following resolutions, wh:ch, after some discussion, were adopted without a dissenting voice: RESOLUTIONS. I. The motitutions of every nation upon Earth should be made the subjects of free discussion, in order that the - systems of error and oppression which were established amidst the ignorance of by.gone centuries, may be exposed and destroyed. 2. Every attempt to prevent the free discussion of any subject which involves the happiness or misery of any portion of the human race, le indi cativo of a tyrannical disposition, and.should be promptly discountenanced by all honest men. 3. The holding or selling of human beings, as property, is not doing unto others as we wish that they should do unto us; and, therefore, the inati lotion of Slavery is a direct and constant violation of that grand ruin of human conduct, which is the essence of the Divine law, and which has been eo clearly expressed by Him who is "the power of God and tho wisdom of God"—by Him who "taught as one having authority," and spoke as never man spoke. 4. In gratitude to the benevolent Parent of the Universe, and in accordance with His righteous command, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy. self," wo will cherish the desire that all our fellow. mon, of every clime and class and color, may en joy the same freedom which we ourselves enjoy. 5. "We ought to obey. God rather than man." Under every possible'combination of circumstan. ces, there is one safe course,and one only, and that Is, TO DO RIGHT—to obey God's command— and to trust Him with all the consequences.— Therefore,discardieg the fear of man which brings a snare—relying upon the Divine promise, that whose puttoth his trust in the Lord shall be safe, and committing ourselves entirely to the guidance and protection of that righteous I,ord who loveth righteousness, who will maintain the right of the poor, and who exeouteth righteousness and judgO. ment for all that are oppressed, henceforth 'we will employ our moral influenco,and our political pow er, to "RELIEVE THE OPPRESSED," and to support the sacred cause of Human Rights. 6. We do hereby respectfully submit to tho consideration of our follow.cinzens the solemn words of Jefferson in reference to Slavery: "1 tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just and that His justice cannot sleep for ever." 7. Wo eoliclt the attention of our follow-citi zens to the conflict between the Sacred Volume of Inspiration and the Federal Constitution. "Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee," is the mandato Ditt) righteous and omnipotent Jehovah. "No person held tq service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof; escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall he delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due," is the conflicting injunction of tho Constitution. 8. Slavery is totally irreconcilable with tho principles of tho Declaration of American Inds. pendence; and, therefore, from the existence of Slavery in those parts of our country which aro under the exclusive control of the National Gov. ernment, the people of other countries Must' infer that a majority atilt) American people have rejee. cod the principles avowed in the 'said Declaration. 9. It cannot reasonably be expected that Repub. lican principles will become predominant in our world, until professed Republicans shall recognize by their actions the first principle of Republican ism: "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL." 10. The Congress of the United States poises. ses Constitutional power "to 'exercise exclusive jurisdiclion in all cases whatsoever," over the District of Columbia. 11. It would be right to oso this power imam. diately for the abolition of Slavery and the Slave. Credo in the said District; because, if the signers of the Declaration of Independence were not mists. ken, all men have a right to liberty, and to secure this right is one of the ends for which governments are instituted among men. 12. We are dilations to be represented In the next Congress by a man who will embrace the ['VOL. 7--NO. 260 earliest and every opportunity to vote for the *too. lition of Slavery and tho Slave-trade In the said District, and who will not be deterred from the discharge of duty by threats of a dissolution of the Union, nor by threats of any other kind what. soever. 13. We have been governed long enough by appeals to our foam We now indulge the hope that the time for this sort of government has passed away, and that the 'term "dough.face" will never again be applicable to any of the freemen of Pennsylvania. 19. This meeting will appoint a Committee of correspondence which shall consist of five mem. bore, and which shall be charged with the execs. tion of the following duties: 1. To enter into a correspondence with the candidates for Congress, in this Congression al District, with a View to ascertain and pub. lish, as speedily as may be, the opinions and intentions of the said candidates respecting Slavery and the Slave.trsde In the District of Columbia. • " • - 2. To correspend with the friends of Haman Rights, in other parts of this county, for the purpose of procuring , the appointment of , a time and place for the holding Of An Anti. Slavery County Meeting. . , The 'meeting appointed ADAM WZIT,' WILLIAM YOUNG, SAMUEL DITABC:IIAW, Esq. NTRII. P. BIM.

OLLATOD, in the last number ot the Bracher. bockor, gives a now version of Burton's sausago story at Bartlerny Fair, which is quite as , good as the original. The transfer of its locality does not at all destroy the pity of the story: This reminds me of a scene told of Lock. port. A clown there walked up leihurely to the stall of one of thoise small traders who furnish canal tourists of !united means with "wittles and drink," and just as he was on the point of vending a large lot of sausa ges to a hungry looking traveller,which were to last him until his arrival at Buffalo, the vagabond, looking suspiciously at the article and addressing the seller, said: "Is them good sassengesi" "Yes, they are good sausages, you ignor-, ant ramus. You would like to keep me from selling 'em,if you could fix it that way, I don't doubt." "No I wouldn't," responded the loafer, "I don't know nothing 'special about them sassenges; they may be good sassenges; I don't say they an't good sassenges; all I do say is, that wheresomever you:nee them kind of sassenges, - yau-don't See isayillts." "I guess, on reflection," said the traveller, "that I won't negotiate for them articles.— That man's last remark has gi'en me a die. like to 'em." "CMJECII AND STATE."--"YOU must be careful, or you will get the cholera," said a parson, a few days since, to a disciple, of Bacchus. "Don't tell me such stuff," Said he, "I understand all about it: this chokry is a plan of the prieits, to unite , church and state!"

AN HONEST GAMBLER.--A person in the habit of drinking very freely, being troubled with a sore leg, was advised by &physician to send for a pint of brandy to wash it with.. After obtaining the bmndy, he came to the conclusion to throw up a copper to decide' whether be should drink it or use it Or his leg—it was head for his mouth, and tail for his leg—it turning out to be the latter, he, gravely exclaimed, "/ bar that toss."
