previous 10 the birth Of either himself or wife or
the slaves themselves. Mr.. w. continued TO hold
them as slaves against his will, because The laws
OF his native state, where the slaves were) would
not allow them to be made free on the soil, and
the slaves were unwilling TO 60 elsewhere. lie
therefore set apart the proceeds of their labor for
three years, TO give the amount to the slaves at
The end of that time, on condition thar they would
emigrate. Here is a case of Involuntary slape-
holding, such as, in opinion, frees the unhappy
stakeholder from all blame but what shall be
thought of the laws of the state which, prohibits
emancipation, and thus forces conscientious men
to be slave owners nguusi their will? BY recent
intelligence from Africa ii seems Thar Mr.. Wilson
died in November last. How The slaves are now

The Richmond Star gives history
of a distressing case-one of those in
stances of deep devotion which wom-
ans faithful bosom only can show, has
occurred in that city within few days.
1t gives another proof how little even
those who mean kindness for a loved
child can direct or decide, where the
affections have already given their al
Iegiance TO another. 1t seems that a
young lady Of beauty and most anna
BILE disposition had, in all the truth of
her young heart, given her love to a
young man, by whom her feelings were
reciprocated. They were engaged to
be married, and even the wedding
clothes were prepared when about
Christmas day her father, 10 doubt for
what he thought good reasons, told her
she must give up him unon whom she
had poured out the rich treasure Of her
deep and confding love. 1t was
hard struggle-one that shook the
strong cords oflile itself. She mourn
ed in silence; deep melancholy came
over her, and gradually but silently
she sunk. until few nights since her
true, gfieving heart broke, and her
young spirit passed 10 that cline where
peace and unshadowed JOY live forever.
And those who fulfilled the last sad
offices Of affection laid out the cold
70 rm in its bridal robes. the same as
she had hoped 10 have been dressed
in-in happy hour. She lay, lovely
bride Of death, and sad, fearful
witness Of that intense love which
forms the ever redeeming beauty OF
women. And who could stand over
that youthful victim, and not feel a
mysterious sympathy as they gazsd
upon her-so ea ], so sorrowfully
cut down. And who tha. reads this
shall hereafter say TO CT Your
love must go TO this one-of it stall
moi to that? The affections are tender
plants, and rude hand should not has
lily pluck from themtheir native soil.

we calculate value at the present time,
was enormously rich. King Cresus
presented one hundred and seventeen

of a hand, six times as long, and thrice
as broad, each of which weighed two
talents. He also presented gold IL

tripod, upon which the Pythla sat.

Besides all these there were cups OF
gold, each eight talents in weight, and
one silver, containing six hundred am
