told Willie hoped he would live to be an old
grey-headed man, and that some thanksgiving
morning he would take some of his grand-chil-
dren on his knees, and tell them once a, great
aohile ago, the people of the southern part of the
United States, were so wicked, that they made
slaves of their fellow-creatures, and bought and
sold them, just as we do horses and pigs now
and that they treated them very cruelty, selling
children away off from their parents, and husbands
and wives from each other, and that they were so
cruel that sometimes the poor creatures would
run away themselves, although they knew that is
they were caught they would be dreadfully whip
ped, and almost killed and if they did get away,
they would almost perish with hunger and cold,
before they could reach place of safety. And
that one morning, the day before thanksgiving,
an old black man that he used to know, came.
softly to the kitchen door, and took his father a.,
side, and told him that two poor runaway slaves
were at his house, and he wanted something for
them to eat, and how he went with his father to-
see them, and how frightened they looked when
they saw white men, and how their backs had
been all cut up with the whip, and that they said
they had wandered in the woods since the first
fall month, and how the dogs were set on them
but that the dogs could not track them, because
they had pieces of onions in their shoes, and that
heads, and walked in their sleep because they
were so tired out. And that all the children

The abovei an extract of letter from one of
the "aboitonists of Binghamton," and has refer
ence to the two slaves of whom Mr.. Smith speaks
in his letter published last meek in the emanc-
pator. The two slaves mentioned above, were
found, two days before thanksgiving, on the hills
south of the Susquehanna river in almost per-
ishing state, with little food, and nothing worth
the name of clothing; they had kndled fire,
which led to their discovery by person living in
the neighborhood. At first they attempted to fly,
but by kind words and treatment were induced to
accompany the man who found them to the vii
lage. We trust they ere this safely colonized

American Slavery.
o THE EDITOR OF THE LIMERICK CHRONICLE.

TO THE VI AhG hANAEnASA SnhoNACLh'
Sir-Having been informed that your paper
has taken the side of the oppressed negroes,
trust you will have the kindness to give the fol-
lowing lines place in your respectable journal.
Having myself escaped from the hands of the
oppressor, from cruel bondage in the United States
Of America, am DESTROYS of doing all can to
aid the cause of negro emancipation, by diffusing
information on subject with which have been
so painfully acquainted and in reference to which
hope to give public address early in the ensu-
ing week.
As Shareholders in America consider and treat
their slaves as though they were not human be-
ings, but mere animals, or something between the
ourang-outang and the human species, would
wish to convince them, by means of the following
lines written by lady in Cork, that Christians on
this side of the Atlantic entertain very different
veiw of the subject. In reference to the same
object, have already sent to America to some OF
my former masters copies of my book, giving an
account of my escape from slavery and the treat
ment previously received. Your paper, coming
into the hands of those who have not seen the
narrative may serve to direct their attention to it,
The insertion of this note and lines referred to-,
will greatly oblige your very obedient servant.

Brother, still closer by the love that sent
The Son of God to bear sins punishment;
Brother, by grace divine which poured its light
On the dark horrors Of our heathern night,
We give the hand of fellowship to thee,
We bid thee welcome, and we hail thee Free!
Thou art slave no longer! On thy brow
The air Of Freedom breathes in triumph now!
Thine heart rejoiccs FER thy broken chain,
Whose links are sever'd, ne 'er to meet again.
But sweeter still that liberty to know,
Which Christ, the Saviour only can bestow,
And feel, what'er thy future lot may be,
The truth! the truth has made thy spirit feel!
Through all thy touching story, glad we trace
The ways Of Providence, the power Of grace;
And see thy countless trials Join to prove
Tho God of glory is the God of love.
Go, then, still guided by his mighty hand,
Where'et his will, his wisdom may command
His love direct thy steps, as when Of old
He led the shepherd of his chosen fold.
Thy tale, like his whose name is borne by thee,
Mark d out for death in helpless infancy,
Like him, the child of servitude and shame,
Born Of race that bear the captive name;
Daily indebted to tyrant's nod,
For the free mercies of bountcous God;
Holding the very life he gave, at will
OF those who, though they cannot save, can kill.
Like him. cast from the land that gave thee birth,
And driven wanderer on the face of earth.
(Like him, in all thy wanderings may st thou find
The strangers kindness sooth and cheer thy mind,)
Like him, when come to years, by grace divine,
Led to embrace Saviours cross thine.
Still be thy tale like hist thee be given
To bear earth the messages of heaven;
To tell the Pharaohs who enslavc thy race
That God will scatter plaques on every place
Where proud oppression dares his wrath defy,
And brave his arm, and scorn his searching eye,
Sound out his thunders till the dead in sin
Shall hear the voice Of conscience speak within.
Believe. and tremble at the dread decree,
Break every chain--bid every slave be free.
Then when thy brethren forth from bondage come,
Be thine to lead them to their better home
The Land of Promise, where their souls shall rest,
While peace and Liberty for ever blest,
And through the wilderness that lies between
Their wcaried spirits and the joys unseen,
Be God to thee and them shade by day,
A light by night to mark their future way,
Till all the Freemen of the Lord shall meet
To cast their crowns at Jesus sacred feet,
And own the link that shall for ever bind,
Even as one soul, all nations Of mankind.

COSsUMPTIoy.--Th distressing complaint
which carries of so many Of our young men
annually, il is stated in well nttested cases, in
late number of the New England Farmer,
has been cured by very simple remedy, viz:
the inhallng the gaseous perfume of the
Chloride Of Lime. The person whose case
Is here referred to, is twenty-five years old :;
had been much reduced by the disease, his
lungs being badly liberated, and he daily be-
came worse, so that his physician gave him
up for lost. 1t is supposed that he coughed
up two quarts Of matter from his lungs In
twenty y.four hours. Experiments with this
substance were successfully made in Paris
by DR.. Cotteren, and the friends Of the young
man were induced to try it, who is now
rapidly rcgaining health.
The Chloride is dissolved in soft water,
and then little vinegar put to it, and ap-
piled to the nose by q rag, or in any other
convenient way.
