In our paper of December Z, 1919,
we remarked, that there was some fear
that one Of the StoDeham Murdcrers had
slipped of in the ship Osprey. VIII, .

ira. Our suspicion is nnw further con-
iirmed by accounts from that ship since
her arrival at Snmatra. which state. that
24l,ours after her departure from this
port, a man appeared on hoard whom
t),ey had not seen before and on being
questioned, he said, with an affecting ID

came to this town with his father, and
went on board this vessel, which had

UTILITY OF SLAVES.

Mr.. Taylor, a representative in con-
gress from New-York, on addressing the
House on the Missouri question last ses-
sion, refuted the position taken by tho
advocates of slavery, that preventing
the Introduction of slavery into Missou-
ri would diminish the price and sales Of
public lands," by drawing the following
comparison. d" Farms" said Mr.. .Tay-
lor,'s in Maryland, may be purchased at
five or six dollars an acre, while land by
nature not more fertile or more advan-
ltagcously situated, sells at rate ten
times higher in Newly ork.t Had not
slavery been introduced into Maryland,
her numerous and extensive old fields
which now appear worse than useless
would long since have supported dense
population of industrious farmers. Who
has travelled along the line which divides
that state from Pennsy lvania, and has net
observed that no monuments are neces-
sary to mark the boundary; that'it is
easily traced by following the dividing
lines between farms highly cultivated
and plantations lying open to the COM
mon and overrun with weeds; between
sstone barns and stone bridges on the one
side, and stalk cribs and no bridges on
the other; between neat, blooming,
animated, rosy checked peasantry on the
one side, and squalid, slow-motioned
black population ON the other" =

A MIDNIGHT REVERE.
Ed 10 anche son pittore.
! also am q painter.


We cannot always laugh, however
ridiculous the world around US. Folly
suits the gay moment of leisure, and at
fords entertainment while the mind re-
mains unsobered by the saddening reali-
ties of life. But there are pauses ofre-
Election which come across the busy
thoughts of the most careless, like the
shadows of clouds over the verdant land
scapes of spring. l now feel myself
sinking into that mood in which the fam
cy rebels against the dominion of airy
laughter, and the soul loves to wander
through the, regions of pensive tender
ness. My candle burns dimly towards
its socket; the hoarse bawI of the
Waterman announces the noon of night !;
the howl of distant dogs seems to tell
that the robber is abroad; Queen Nab
revels. over her PROSTATE subjects, and
carries through. the gorgeous and fan
tastic apartments of the beauty's brain,
the phahtoms of pleasure, of conquest,
and of love; and all that bustling and
noisy crowd which few hours ago filled
up the gaudy panorama of life, now lies
as silent and insectient as the grave.
Under the inspiration of this consecrated
hour, my thoughts carry me, almost in
voluntarily, to subject upon which
never dwell without serious sentiment.
Among the most sacred relations of
life is that which letters in wcdlock, to
the equal destiny Of veal or wo, two be-
ings who have vowed their mutual loves
before the altar of their God. There
can be no sacrifice more solemn, nor
offering more sincere. 1t is the sur
render of every selfish feeling at the
tootstool of affection, and the sanctity of
the pledge carries with it the most seri-
Gus responsibility of our condition. In
calculable is the misery which the indis-
erect choice OF this relation has infused
into the portion of mankind; many a
span formed for the highest bliss Of life,
has found every hope tortured in the dis
appointment and pain of an i'll sorted
'union-and many a lovely girl breathing
'':thc fragrance OF heaven, and exultihg in
I, its purity-with lightsome step and JOY
,2ul eye careering through the enchant-
-naents of world that seemed to her all
splendor, grace, and harmony, has been
snatched from the .delusion of the fairy
scene, to sickenundet the rude guardian
ahip of an unsympathizing spirit, or
waste her sweetness in the cold forget
fitness of one who knew not how to es'
TEEN her. And on the other side, many
day of privation and suffering has beer
frightened by the holy influence of {
~chastcned love, and many weary hour
cheated of its sorrows.
+ Whether the joys or pains of this con-
dition be altogether dependent upon the
just exercise Of the judgment and feel
ipgs, or whether blind fatality hove
