looking on the death-struck form and convulsive
agonies of her child.
beloved friend in South Carolina, the wife of
a Shareholder with whom | often mingled my
tears, when helpless and hopeless we deplored to-
gether the horrors of slavery, related to me some
years since the following circumstance.
On the plantation adjoining her husbands,
there was slave of pre-eminent piety. His mas
ter was not professor of religion but the superb
or excellence Of this disciple of Christ was not
remarked by him, and believe he was so sensi-
bic of the good influence of his pety that he did
not deprive him of the few religious privileges
within his reach. A planter was one day dining
with the owner of this slave and in the course of
conversation Observed that all profession of reli-
gion among slaves was mere hypocrisy. The
other asserted contrary opinion, adding, have
slave who believe would rather die than deny
his Saviour This was ridiculed, and the master
urged to prove the assertion. He accordingly
sent for this man of God, and peremptorily order
ed him to deny his beliefin the Lord Jesus Christ
The slave pleaded to be excused constantly affirm
ing that he would rather die than deny the Re-
deemer whose blood was shed for him. His mas
ter after vanly trying to induce obedience by
threats, had him terribly whipped. The fortitude
of the sufferer was not to be shaken; he nobly
rejected the offer of exemption from further chas-
tisement at the expense of destroying his soul,
and this blessed martyr died IN consequence ofMiS
serere imRiction. Oh how bright gem will this
victim of irresponsible power be, in that crown
which sparkles on the Redeemer's brow and
that many such will cluster there, have not the
shadow of doubt.

BY the toll of those who stood
At the side of WAsH1NGroN,-
BY the hearts that met the foe
On their native battle plain,
Where the arm that deals the blow
Never needs to strike again!
Where the craven that would dare
Mar it with polluted breath
Scorned and cursed, be his to share
The traitors shame-the traitors death
Let his faithless heart be torn,
From his recrean bosom rjven,
And, upon the whirlwind borne,
To the carrion be given!
Guard it, freemen!-guard it well!
Spotless as your maiden's fame!
Never let your children tell
Ofyour weakness-of your shame
That their fathers basely sold
What was bought with blood and toll,
That you bartered right for gold,
Here on freedoms sacred soil!
Let your eaglc's quenchless eye,
Fixed, unerring, sleepless, bright,
Watch, when danger hovers nigh,
From his lofty mountain height;
While the stripes and stars shall wave
Der this treasure, pure aud free,
The lands Palladium, it shall save
The home and shrine of liberty.

THE MONUMENT.
Ho! granite pile on Bunker's sod,
Why standest thou unfinished thus
A mockery where fathers trod,
a Babel, crumbling meath the CURSE
Ho! thou that mon began to build,
Not counting first the painful cost;
In whom the proverb is fulfilled
Of care and cash by folly lost
mind me when this soil for thee
Was broken by the eager spade,
That day the of liberty
Thy cornerstone with shoutings laid.
He said that on the martyrs bones
Thy soaring shaft should proudly stand
And tell forever on its stones
The fame and story of our land.
Then Eloquencc was here-rthe throng
Stood breathless on this sacred hill,
As rose to God the noble song
Expressive of peoples will.
A change has come-no man may bind
Thy massy blocks on hallowod ground,
Who thinks with shame, how lofty mind,
In frmer grasp, hath SLAVERY bound
This scorpion thought keeps back the gold
Which should to plant thy top-sone pay,
That human blood and bones are Sold
And should'st thou prato of freedom? NAY!
A kissing only wouldst thou be,
A bye-word of our country's shame;
And every syllable on thee
Engraved, would falsehood still proclaim.
Not thus defy the men Of might
Who on this hilltop glory won;
Not thus affront the pilgrims sight
Upon this more than Marathon.
Yet--stand thou thus! tell-ale, not
OF heroes slumb ring at thy base
But of the fact that one dear spot
Hypocrisy shall not disgrace.
