One of the worst features of slavery-perhaps
we may be warranted in saying that ii is the very
worst-s the traffic in human beings, which grows
out of the claim to man as properly. Awfully
hardened and depraved, indeed, must be that
mind, which can look upon the marketing Of hui
man bones and sinews, with even the least com
placency. The American phlanhropis, must
ieel it TO be fact dsgraeeu to the history Of his
country, that, within tho limits of our federal uni
on, vast numbers of human beings are annually
sold and transported hon the more northern TO
the more southern slaveholding States.
The American Anu-Slavery Society pledged
itself " in a constitutional way to influence Con,
gress to put an end 10 the domestic slave trade

The sweet South wind, so long
Sleeping in other climes, on sunny seas,
Or dallying glily with tho orange trees
In the bright Land OF song,
Wakes unto US and aughngly sweeps by,
Like glad spirit Of the sunlit sky.
The lnhorer at his toll
Feels on his cheek its dewy kiss, and lins
His open brow to catch its fragrant gifts
The aromatic spoil
Borne from the blossomng gardens of the South
While its faint sweetness fingers round his mouth
The bursting buds look up
To greet the sun light, while 1t fingers yet
On the warm hilside-aud the violet
Opens its azure cup
Meekly, and countless wild-howers wake 10 nlnR
Their earliest incense on the gales Of spring
The reptile that hath lain
Torpid so long within his wintty tomb,
Pierces tho mould, ascending from its gloom
Up to the light again 800
And the 1.-THE snake crawls forth from caverns chill
To bask erst upon the sunny hill.
Continual songs arise
From Universal Nature-birds and streams
Minglo their voices, and the glad earth seems
second Paradise
Thrice blessed Spring thou Dearest gifts divine
Sunshine, and song, and ffagrance-all arc thine
Nor unto earth alone
Thou hast blessing for the human heart
Balm for its wounds and healing for its smart,
Telling of winter flown,
Aud bringing hope upon thy rainbow wing,
Type of Eternal Liie-thrico blessed Spring

We must not always speak all that

otherwise it is knavery. All a man

that he shall not be believed when he

A little wrong done TO another is
& great injury done to ourselves. The
severest punishment of an injury is
the consciousness of having done it;
and no nan suffers more than he that

He that hath pity on another mans
sorrows shall be free from it himself;
and he that delighteth in and scorn-

There cannot be a greater treache-

He only is worthy of esteem that

How calm, how cloudless. pass d away
The long, long, summer holiday!
NAV not muse--l must not dream
Too beautiful these visions seem
For earth and mortal men; but when

I think of sunny eyes so soft,
Too deeply felt, enjoyed too oft;
When through the bloomv fields | roved
With her, the earliest, dearest loved;
Around whose form / yet survey,
In thought a bright celestial ray
To present scenes denied and when
Shall bye past times come back again?
Alas, the world at distance seen
Appeared all blissful and serene,
An Eden, form'd to tempt the foot
With crystal streams and golden fruit;
That world, when tried and trod is found
A rocky waste, a thorny ground.
We then revert to youth; but when
Shall bye past days come back again!
