THE WARNING.

There is curse that Heaven hath flung
On the badge and name Of slave,
! A Madison that no human tongue
Hath ever learnsd to brave: -
Ages roll on and still its shame
Gains depth with flow of years, Is
And the scorn of time on the hapless name,
Like the brand Of Cain appears.
And wherefore !asave that the captiye's chain
+ Must unnerye the spirit free,
And the soul by bondage disgraced, in vain
Tries to rise from obscurity-
Dares not nobly die as freemen die, -
For bonds could not hinder this
Thus the slave if he live in his slavery, o.
For him is that curse amiss!
He may bend the yoke if he cannot break
He may raise the sword and brand-[make
he may rise in the Strengthen his cause aud
Red war with aYenging hand:
He may conquered be, andehe death he dies
Be torture keen and slow;
But his cause is just, and his diving cries
Ask vengeance for his woe.
Hesmay not hug his chain, and live;
He may not contented be,
With life where all virtue is negative,
With breath calamity;
Where the free sun shines on the will-less man.
That expressions whiphath torn,
And the birds that fly, land the breezes that fan,
And the waves are all free,born.
If such be the law for all slavery made,
And, so dark the curseit bears; 4
lfthe plant deep sown by lagitious trade,
Andwater'd with blood and tears, [leaves
Give no promise, no fruit, scarce the whitening
That drop before summers height;
Can it only be just in white-hued slaves A
To dare for their freedoms right!
May not all earths sons in their first best cause
Claim the prize of liberty!
Since nature enacts no partial laws,
But commands the world BE free 7"
She calls: "Who presses down slavery's yokes
And refuses to slack the rein, M
Shall perish ere long in the thunder stroke
That will SILVER the captive's chain"

That is wrong il it means each Judge has

tween three or four. The Supreme Court of
Rhode Island consists Of five Judges appoin-

The Chief Justice travels the circuit Of the S
counties of the state, pays all his expenses,
devotes say from 10 to IL weeks to those du-
ties annually, (lhe time he gives to the study
of law, or the money he expends in purchase
ing law books, we do not pretend to include,)
and receives in good Rhode-Island money
$3.50 per year from thu treasury leaving him
perhaps with strict economy about $175.--.

Of reading, the subaltern branch, is
more easy of access; and we are
blameable in not endeavouring to take
advantage Of this circumstance. When
man reads i'll he can hardly preserve
his claims to the title Of well educa-
ted or learned man. The company Of
a person Of taste, whose verses were
admired, was universally cOurted. He
was invited one autumn tO house in
the country, where the individuals
present amused themselves in the ev.
ening with reading but he perform-
ed SO i'll that he lost great part Of his
reputation.
This sentence, terrible at the first
view. is not unjust. He who reads
very i'll, scarcely compreheods his SUBJ
ject, and loses every right to indul-
gence by giving painful sensations TO
his hearers. Women, from the hap
Ipy Aexibility lof the Of their organs,
and the elegance Of their taste, SEEM
ed formed to read much better than
the men; and, If they are almost al
ways inferior in this respect, the fault
must be attributed to the negligence
Of those persons to whom their early
education is committed.
"A fine organ is a great advantage
given by nature oaiy, and which it IS

AGRICULTURAL.

Swine. The quick multiplication and
growth of swine render them species
Of stock highly profitable, aud If reared
system ,ticaliy, and upYa large scale,
{. Jne will be found to answer the pur-
pose of the farmer better. Though
supposed to be tilthier than any other
ANIMALS. they enjoy clean aud com,
Portable place for laying down IN, and
their thriving and feeding are at least as
much improved by cleanly Management
as those Of any other stock. Their
styes should therefore be constructed
sloping, to carry off all moisture. The
different sorts of swine should be kept
separate in them, and many should new
er be put together, and particularly II
they be Of different size. Too much
attention caanot easily be paid to the
rearing Of these animals. The large
Chinese breed is generally and justly
preferred. When swine are reared on
a comprehensive plan, crops must be
sown purposely for their support, and
the dairy cannot be considered as that
resource which it is naturally regarded
in small f.,rms. From October till My
20 .atoes, carrots, cabbages, and the
Swed sh turnip, which Is a most useful
vegetable for this particular purpose.

when they may be received into lucerne

be maintained till the clearing OF the
s,ub5le, and thus, with the offal OF the
barn and the corntields. and the plants
and roofs just mentioned, the whole
year will be amply provided for. In
sutnmer meal must be mixed with wa
ter for the sows as they pis, and in win.
ter boiled roots, peas and oats should
be given to the young ones. Dairy
wash is a capital addition to this mix

to pig bat twice year, in April and Au-

be carefully secluded from the boars,an

tremc consequence that no one approach

them, as in this case they will often de-
