they were enjoying it, her father called on
her to sing him song, the which she seem

with q sort of pretty coyness time out of

pressed her with an excellent show of frhet-

concerning of "The pretty little Nightin-
gale" and at least one of the listeners
thought it most exquisite singing. Then
John Hathaway would needs have song
of his guest, to the which her daughter ad :.
ded her entrenties so prettily, the youthful
Shakespeare found it impossible to resist,
whereupon he commenced the singing OF a
favorite love song Of the times, beginning,
" I'll had wytt for 10 endyte." The words
were of pleasant conceit which gained con-

OF his singing, and the tune, by mrans of his

AN ARKANSAS DEACoN.--In one of the
oldest settled towns Of Arkansas. lived,
some years since a good natnred old joker
named Sipples, something of a drinker, very
profane, addicted to nothing save loafng
and story-telling-emphatically " hard
case" take him all round. For years he
had been known by the name of X" The Dea-
con" and from beirg constantly addressed
by that title, it was said that he had so far
forgotten the name he started with in early
life, as not to know it when he heard it, sin.
gular as it was.
One evening he had been indulging freely
in his fuvorite recreations for drinking and
storytelling at the village tavern. Ten o.
clock came and with it went all the tavern
loungers, some to their homes, and some to
bed. None were left save old Sipples, the
bur keeper and stranger, preacher who
had Just arrived and who had heard no part
ofthe previous conversation. The stranger
was Gdown east preacher on visit to
Arkansas IN quest of congregation. He
had hardly got seated before the bar-kceper,
who was anxious to close the house, address
sed Sipples with "come, Deacon, aint you
about ready to start?'
The preacher heard this, and supposed at
once that he had luckily found the very man
who could give him all the Information he
required. Hitching his chair along side of
Sipples, and giving him meek and patron
izing look, he commenced with
"IIow dye do, Deacon!'
"Pretty fair, thank you, how are your
81 am as well as could be expected,
much obliged to you. Deacon, how does
the cause of religion flourish in this neigh
borhoodF'
"Aoout the me, believe, don't see
much difference"
"Haye you any settled preacher here
nowp
"No, we hlvnt. The preacher was dis
missed about six months ago
"He was, was he" Well don't you find
difference since he left?"
81 don't notice any great change"
"I'ut don't you find your duties heavier
don't you find it hard getting alongP
"Well, it does come pretty considerable
d-d tough, that's a fact, and you'll find
it devilsh hlrd scratching to get along
yourself, reckon, by the tim, you've been
here long as have"
The preacher was shocked. He saw tlat
he had woke up the wrong deacon at once.
Sipples knew and cared just as much nbcut
religion as he did about the Government of
the Tongo Islands or the affairs of France,
and after taking his might cap in the shape
of whskcy todly, started for home, lelv-
ing the preacher in establishment. The lat
ter had supposed he should find the same
kind of deacnns in Arkansas he left in Com
neclicut, and went to bed that night fully
determined, the next zine he accosted a
stranger with that title, to find out, in the
first place, whether he was Of the right sort.

which already began to appear the fairy
creatures ofthe wave, darting about joyfully,,
and glistning in the sun. As its channel
grew wider and wider, and yetother branche-
es came gliding into it, it rolled in mean
dering course through teeming country,,
freshening whatever it touched, and giving
the whole scene new character and beau
ty.
As it moved on now in majesty and
pride, the sound Of its gently heaying billowss
formed itself into the following words. "At-
the outset Of life, however humble we may
seem, there may be in store for us great and
unexpected opportunities of doing good and.
being great. In the hope of these, we should
ever pass on without despair or doubt, truss
ting that perseverance will bring its own
reward. How little dreamed when first
splang on my course, for what purpose was
destined! What happy beings were to owe
their bliss to me! What lofty trees, what
velvet meadows, golden harvests, were to,
hail my career! Let not tho meek and low-
ly despalr-Heavens will supply them witlh
noble inducements to virtue" Yaa

A BRAVE AND GENEROUS Active ar0+
informed by an eye witness, that late on
Friday evening, Just as one of the Fulton
ferry boats was leaving the dock, a man
who was fastening to get on board, and
who, from the darkness Of the hour, was
unaware of the distance at which the boat
had left the dock, rushed forward and sunk,
in the gloomy waters, which being much
agitated by the paddle wheels, rendered his
situation almost hopeless. In his last ex-
haustcd struggle, however, he was seen by
a brave and generous man, Major Hopkins,
of the custom-house, who was passenger
on board, who instantly eaped overboards
at the imminent peril of his own life, to-
save that of fellow-creature. He brought
him from beneath the water, and supported
him by adroIt but desperate efforts, until q
rope could be thrown, but whilst the stran-
ger was lifted up, his own head was kept
under water for long time by tile involun-
tnry struggles of the person whom he had
saved, and he very nearly fell victim to his
own noble effort. Both, however, were
happily saved, although in the last extreme
of ofeXhaustion.-.Neto York NeW Era.
Our contemporary is not misinformed in
this mntter, but his informant did not tell
him all the story. The rescued stanger,
when about stepping into coach to ride
home, extended his hand to the Major, for
the purpose, as the latter supposed, Of ga
friendly grasp" before they parted. The
Major grasped the preferred hand, with his
usual fervor, but when their hands parted.
he found the stranger had deposited in his

not run the risk of leaving my wifea widow
and my children fatherless, for the sake Of
gan!' The effect upon all who witnessed
the occurrence was strongly marked by
their comments ". Y. Sun.

Another gentleman sees fearful ghost ahead
and cries out Slarery IS political matter. This
is granted. Political action has made slavery, and
by this action slavery is perpetuated. And this
is not the only instance, in which iniquity has
been established by law. BY political action rum
selling has long been sanctioned, and lotteries, and
theatres, and idolatry, and wars, and bloody per-
secuions, and almost every species OF oppression
By political action one religion has been prescribed
and another estabshed one denomination ban
ished or burnt, and another placed under the fos-
tering care of the state. And ahat has been done
aay be done again. Is the cry of political matter
in all these cases to stop our mouths, and palsy all
exertions | trow not. Slavery is made by polt-
ical action and every friend of humanity is bound,
by political action, to destroy it; to undo every
yoke and let the oppressed go free. And it is
somewhat curious, that men, who can see two OBJ
jects at once, should call for political action in the
temperance cause, and then turn right about, and
denounce all such action in the anti-slavery cause
Surely, consistency is not prominent trait in the
conduct of such men. But we hope they will
grow wiser, and in time learn to occupy with eve
ry talent, even their political talent, and not bury
this in napkin. KIAH BAYLEY.

From the Boston courier.

If the slaves recently brought into New Londor
in the Cuba Schooner had been Englinhmen in
stead Of Africans. and the master were an Alqer
inc, instead of a Spaniard, how much would the
public press echo with their praise! Suppose
they had risen upon their oppressor, on their way
from one Moorish port to another, had spilled his
blood to gain their freedom, and then steered for
free country. They would have been publicly
justified, if not hailed as heroes. Now they are
arrested as pirates. They will undoubtedly be
sent back to the tender merces of their Agers,
and hanged as felons for doing what nearly every
man among us feel it praisworlhey to, were their
case his own. They are ignorant and degraded,
doubtless, but this gives them stronger claim to
our pity. Yet not voice of sympathy is raised
for them in this nation born in Revolution and
whose foundation principle is the right Of resisting
tyranny unto blood.
It is painful to look at this transaction impair
