~ The following manly, magnanim'
Gus letter, from Gerritt Smith to the editor
Of the Liberator, is timely. There is a
set Of newspapers and set of men who
seem to have bound themselves under
oath-ifnot like Paurs prosecutors to slay
him before they eat or sleep-to eat and
sleep principally for strength to crush the
victim Of their ferocity. We are glad to
see Gerrit Smith not only open his purse,
but also his mouth and speak out the
sentiments of his noble heart in regard to
this his elder brother" We know not
what better use he could have made of
fifty dollars. And we know not what he
could have said more true than that 1.-The
dlscontinuance of the Liberator would be
deeply reproachful to our aboltinnists,
and exceedingly cruel to" the man who
has done and suffered so much in the hoIy
cause Of human rights. We put the
question to the abolitionists of Vermont.
Individually: What better use can yoY
make of two dollars annually, to accom-.
pIish the great end for which you live
the removal Of human suffering from earth
and the preparation of souls for heaven
than to subscribe for the Lberator and
pay TOR it, until American Slavery is
beaten into the dust, and American slaves
are lifted from thraldom and put in pos
session of liberty and Revelation
CRY OF NEw-YoRK, Dec. Is, 1886.
My DEAR FRIEND:-I am sitting in
the Anti-Slavery Office, and have just
laid down the Liberator of 10th inst, in
which there is an editorial article, setting
forth the necessities Of that paper, which
is, and ever should be, dearer to the heart
ofthe thorough American abolitionist, than
any other anti-slavery periodical l have
sometimes found fault with the temper and
taste Of passages in the Lberator; so have
many other abolitonists. But whether
Justly or not, is matter Of no moment by
the side ofthe fact, that the Liberator broke
ground in our great and holy cause-that
it has been, and still is, a most able and ell
oquent defender of that cause-and that
whatever may have been it's errors, they
have not sprung from dishonesty or timid,
i lty. The discontinuance of the Liberator
would be deeply reproachful to our aboli,
tionists, and would furnish the enemy
with an occasion for the widest exultation.
1t would be also exceedingly cruel to
yourself, to subject you to the painful ne
cessity of seeing your paper die for the
want of patronage. Accept the enclosed
checkt as contribution towards Kidding
the Liberator of its pecuniary embarrass
ments.
In common with your numerous friends
) l am much concerned for your health
That the Lord may mercifully restore it
) is the prayer of
Your friend. GERRrr SMITH.

she could not touch the floor, but could
rest with one of her feet on the end Of the

A FATHER IN ISRAEL FALLEN.-The
Christian Watchman announces the death
Of Joseph Grafton, senior pastor of the
First Baptist Church in Newton, Mass.
He had labored in that place nearly half a
century. He died on Friday, 10th inst,
in the 18th year Of his age. The follow,
ing rs an extract from the editor remarks:
II is the happiness of few ministers Of
the gospel to have lived to better purpose
than did our venerated and departed broth,
er. But few men labor so long and few
there are who labor so successfully. He
has turned many to righteousness, and he
will doubtless shine as the stars forever
and ever His memory will be cherished
upon earth, long after those who have
seen his face in the flesh, have ceased t.
mention his name. He lived to see mani
and great changes lin his own churc b
there being not single member of thos,
who called him TO the pastoral relation
who survives him; he has baptized chill
dren's chillren, and in some instances ever
down to the fourth generation in til,
denomination to which he belon ged; h,
has often been heard to say that making
his own church the centre of a circle, tn,
radius of which should be forty miles
there could not be found in that circle
when ne became the pastor of the chhrcI
in Newton, but eight churches, and hov
there are more than sixty; six churches
at least, have been formed almost exclu
sively from his own and changes in 50
ciety; he has outlived several generations

AN INDIANS CONVERSION. Thomas
Cornelius, the Indian missionary ofwhom
we have spoken in another place, gave in
his address at Bennett-street Church, the
following, as an Indians relation of his
conversion:
Il took my kneel down, and pray God:
| gave 1t my bOa0 arro.o to God. Then l
don't feel no happy. Then pray again.
| give for God, my tomahawk. I give it
to God, my rifle. Then I don't feel no
happy. Then I give to God my blanket.
But still 1 don't feel no happy. Then l
thought, what more2 I give away every
thing 1 had. Then thought pray one
more. Then l told my God, take my
whole Indian, the whole Of it; and then |
feel happy !-Zion's Herald.

ANTI-SLAvERY.


Some years ago, a young man emlgra-
ted from New Hampshire to the state of
Louisiana-where, after he became set
tied, he formed with a quarteroon slave Of
his own, one OF those (contuberniar con-
nexions, so common in the far south, as to
carry with them but little disrepute. Two
daughters were the fruit oftheir connexion
They were not grown up, when the moth
er died, slaue. The father was careful
to bestow on them good, ifnot an acc ON
plished, education. Through mere neg
Iect, as in the case Of their mother, he did
not emancipate them according to the
forms required by law. The eldest had
arrived at the age of sixteen-he other at
fourteen. AT this time the father died
leaving his two handsome, well educated
and tenderly reared daughters, with a
good estate, as it was supposed, for their
comfortable support
A brother residing in New Hampshire,
on hearing of his death, went to Louisia-
ma, to attend the adjustment of the estate,
and to the interest of his neices EIe en-
tered on the administration, and, to his
great surprise, found, after he had made
considerable progress in the payment of
the claims, that the estate would, in all
likelihood, prove insolvent. He continu
ed, however, to discharge them as they
were presented, till all the resources of the
estate were exhausted, except his tro mel.
ees, who, by the laws of Louisiana, were
sIGces and assets in his hands. So mon
strous thing as selling them had never
once entered his mind. He was, however
reminded of this remaining resource, by
some of the creditors whose balances
were undischarged. "He replied in
amazement-" They are my brothers

to conjecture, for what purpose ruch
