With bleeding heart I turn;
Thy beauteous earth is droar to me,
And bitterly! mourn.
The friends I love! 0 where are they?
Traitors—or cold, or far away—
But thou art true, and ever near,
To soothe the sad, and dry the tear.
Joy of the joyirss! See how low
My cherish'd joys are laid;
Where are the glittering idols now
That my fond heart had made?
See how it bleeds, and fondly clings
Around the deer tho' ruin'd things;
Oh! heal it with the holy joy
That time and change can ne'or destroy.
Hope of the hopeless! Seo the last
')f my fond hopes is gone;
A thousand brilliant dreams were past
And this was 101 l alone—
Deep in my inmost soul it lay,
My dream by night, my bliss by day;
'Tie ruin'd!—Oli earth's vanity!—
Eternal !Rope, I fly to thee.
Help of the helpless! Lone and weak,
With crush'd and writhing boort;
And spirit wounded to the quick,
By Misery's keenest dart—
From earth's deceitful lures I fly—

Oh! thou halt balm for such as me 4

We must bid thee now adieu;
Autumn leaves will soon be falling,
And the Laurus beads are blue:
Summei home, dear summer dwelling,
We must bid thee now adieu.
Often here, at morn and even,
We have bent the youthful knee,
Praying that the God of heaven
Would his little infants see:
Summer home, morn and even.
We will still remember thee.
When the wintry winds are swelling,
Though our hearts be full of glee;
When they sigh around our dwelling,
Summer home, we'll sigh for thee;
Summer home, dear summer dwelling,
We must bid adieu to thee.
To our parents' arms returning,
For their love our bosoms swell,
But, dear friends ' we leave with mourning
Those that we have loved so well;

"This Minute."
How much may be, and is being done
this very minute! 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.
CAW, Esq. and Jams bloAt.t.urrza, Jr. Esq. to
constitute the Committee. required by the four.

OLLATOD, in the last number ot the Bracher.

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:
