a Clayite or Jacksonlte. Sambo after a

To APPRENTICES

. The only way for ayoung man to prepare
himself for usefulness is to devote himself
to study during all his leisure hours
be industrious In your bu,iness-never
complain that you are obliged to work; go
to it with alacrity and chee rfulness, and it
will become habit which will make you
respected and beloved by your master or
employer; make il your business to see and
promote his interest; by taking care of his,
you viii learn to take care of your own.-
Young men In this age are too fond of
getting rid of work. They seek for easy
and lazy employment, and often turn out
to be poor, miserable vagabonds. You
must avoid all wishes to live without la
Dor, labor is a blessing rather than a curse
it makes men healthy: finds them in food
clothing, and every other necessary; and
frees them from mptations to be dishoaest.

to Its darkest reCesscs 10 wait for his
prey. Soon little thoughtless fly be-
came entansled ia the net. and the
spider, warned by the struggles of his
victim to obtain his freedom, leaving
his '.idlng place. turned one web upon
him and retired upon aome slight cause
OF alarm. By and by he again ap-
proae he'd the fly, turned another web
round him and retired. This was re-
peated several times. till the fly was
fast bound and incapable Of resistance.
when the spider fell upon him and de-
prlved him Of life by sucking his !lfe,s 5

SLAVERY.

The subject Of slavery begins to excite
share o. the attention its great import
ance demands. There Is evidently wa
king up-an engagedness of feeling,
which slil grow more and more intense,
as it has been of Eng!and-''as soon as
the Stare touches ii, his chains fall off,"
Slavery has already been tolerated too
long Its evils are constantly accumula-
ting-and the rod of justice has been sus-
pended over us long and fearfully. 1t is
time to look to IT. and press the import
ancc of s'letsing the oppressed 60 free. y
1t Is time the subject was agitated IN eve-
~ clrcie--in every paper-in ever, pull
pit. The press should speak ut-and do
it nOu. We have not the power to con-
tro the slave-holding States, but we may
demand, in the name Of humanity, tina,
SLAYER, be forever abolished. Nay, more.
We may petition to have the foul stain
wiped away, 80 far as our general govern
ment stands chargeable with it. The
District Of Columbia may be purged from
ITS sabominations-ands should be at once
and the building and prison houses of the
United States no longer used as a means
of oPpression, as repositories Of those
whose only crime is a cOlored skin-as
helps and securities Of the man-stealer.
Let the people awake. Let those who
can feel for their o'rn rights and priviIe-
ges-those who delight to dwell on the
beauty and excellence Of our govern
ment, and our free institutions, sympa-
,hize with the slave, and arouse to the i'm
