Serfage in Russia is but a modification of

age without the written permission of his
master, which is always obtained with diff
ficulty. His earnings, his wife, his chill
dren, are all the property of his master,
and the instances are exceeding rare in
which serfs have been allowed to purchase
their liberty Some ofthe serfs engaged
in trade, ESPECIALLY in the Baltic provinces,
are rich. their families highly accomplish
ed, and yet at the beck of their masters
they may al any moment see their daugh-

The pride ola Russian Noble is to have
as many serfs, as possible. and the more
he has the greater is the consideration in
which he is held by his compeers. To
diminish the power of the Mobiles is the
main object of the Emperor's attempt to
.emancipate the serfs. While serfage ex-
lists he reigns by the sufferance of the No
bles, and he wants to be absolute Now
mex: to the abolition Of the African slave
trade, the abolition of serfage in Russia is
one OF the greatest boons thai could be con-
ferred upon the human race. But it re-
quires to be done with great caution, and
to be accompanied with measures making
the letting of land compulsory on the part
[ of the great proprietors. The commission
OF such measures, on the part Of the Impe-
rial Government, completely neutralized
the benefits which might have been expect
ed from the abolition of serfage, few years
ago, in some of the Baltic provinces.
The former masters of the emancipated
serfs united in refusing to let them land on
any terms, in consequence of which they
were reduced to such misery as to implore
the authorities to allow them to return 10
their former condition. The fact was seiz-
ed upon at the time by the Mobiles, as de-
monstrating how much Russians preferred
serfage to freedom, and for time the res
olution Of the Emperor seemed shaken by
it. But the actual circumstances of the
case becoming known, the Emperor more
! than ever determined to restrict power
(which was shown to be controlled by an
Imperial ukase. -

AN IMPRESSIVE. SCENE.

: The King of Prussia during his late
visit to England to attend the christening
of the young prince, visited Newgates
prison in company with the celebrated
Mrs. Fry, walking arm in arm. When
they had reached one of the female wards,
the inmates, were assembled around a ia.
bic, at the head of which Mrs. Fry took
her seat, and explained to His Majesty
the circumstances Of the prisoners, and
The improvement which had been made
among them by the introduction of relig
ious services. This prison had long been
considered one of the worst in the king
dom, and when, some years ago, she first
had the privilege, by the courtesy of the
magistrates of London to visit this prison,
it was unsafe for the governor. and more
so for herself to venture into the female
wards. Mrs. Fry then proceeded TO read
to the prisoners two chapters from relig-
ious work, commenting upon them as she
proceeded, wilh.a view to convey to His
Majesty an idea of the mode in which she
conducted her charitable visitations. Then
followed a psalm, which being concluded,
Mrs. Fry kneII down, an example which
His Majesty instantly followed, and with
the most devout attention, listened TO a
beautiful extemporaneous prayer to which
Mrs. Fry gave cuerance. The scene at
this moment was indeed strange one;
at one view, the beholder witnessed the
monarch Of great nation, portion OF
the mobiles Of bis realm, the wealth and
authorities of the great metropolis of this
commercial kingdom, approaching with
PRAYER their common Creator, in unison

THE TEMPE
A distant roar, fearful sound,
swelIs on the air and shakes the ground;
Red lightning shoots athwart the sky,
And trees that Lift their heads on high,
Bow TO the tempest's lowering wing,
And to the earth their branches ding.
Grim darkness waves bis ebop wand,
And reigns, the monarch of the land;
Hoarse murmurs swell upon the breeze,
Then Sigh among the forest trees,
While muitering thunders nearer roll,
And shake with fear mans guilty SOUL
The mad waves lash the pebbled shore,
While thick and fast the rain drops pour;
Deep night lifts up.her sable shroud,
Forked lightnings leap from cloud to cloud
The night-havk shrieks and scars abroad,
Man stands aghast and fears his God.
Z. .
But list above the tempest's moan,
A voice is heard-no rtaltone--
In stern command, yet like the rilI,
In cadence soft, --speaks--"TP Peace, be still.
All nature hears, the storms deep roar
The thunder's peal is heard no more. u
The moaning winds to mprmurs die,s
Pale fires CLEAN in the western sky,
The cioudsroll back their misty folds,
The distant thunder fainter rolls,
And as the sun throws off her shroud,
The bow Of promise decks the cloud.
The waves that heaye Eom side to side,
Now in smooth ripples gently glide,
Anon--they rise ard surge amain,
Then sink to ocean rest again;
Rehectthe suns last parting beams,
While earth and sky with beauty CLEAN.
The dew-drops sparkle on the trees,
And sweetly signs the evening breeze,
The flowers abroad their odors fing,
From every tree sweet music rings,
Amagic spell DER all is cast,
All nature smiles-the storm is past.
