1t is curious to see that most Christians

1t is curious to see that most Christians
represent death as frightful skeleton,
while the Greeks, who had no happiness
in their hereafter, painted him as a sleep
ing child or beautiful youth. Death
in the East was formerly attributed to
the attachment to particular deity, who
took his favorite to better world; TO the
love of Aurora, ifthe death happened in
the morning; of Selene, if it happened
at night; olthe water-nymPhs, if drown
ed; of Jupiter, if killed by lightning
The caverns where the martyrs were
laid, we're called "chambers of repose,"
And this, surely, is the better impression
to give of death TO those whose minds
are forming.

For the Voice of Freedom,

My Green Mountain Home.
Give me my own Green Mountsin home,
Give me my own dear native hill,
Where oft at morn and eve I've strayed
And drank sweet water from the rll.
Give me my own Green Mountain home,
The willow and the maple tree,
For all thy gorgeous city walls.

Give me my own Green Mountain home,
Where forest flowers in beauty grow,
And throw their fragrance on the air
When summers gentle breezes blow.
Give me my own Green Mountain home,
The birth place of the brave and free,
Where free as winds or flowing streams
Wander the sons of liberty,
Give me my own Green Noun tain home,
To worship there the glorious God,
While kneelng meath the spreading oak
Upon my own Green Mountain sod.
Give me my own Green Mountain home,
My sainted Mothers grave is THERE
Where oft in sorrow / have knelt
And offered up heartfelt prayer.
Give me my own Green Mountain home,
There doth my gentle sister dwell,
And oft when comes the pleasant eve
In prayer and praise our bosoms swell.
Give me my own Green Mountain home,
IT'S there my brothers linger still,
1t holds my all on earth that S dear,
Why then not love my native hill

A Voice from Prison.

The following letter was written by .AlanSon
Work, now prisoner in the Missouri Peniten-
tiary, to his brother DR.. J. Work of Huntington.
Though not intended for the public eye, it may
not be uninteresting to those who sympathise
with the afflicted and the down.troJden every
where. Mr. Work and his two friends, Thomp.
son and Burr, have yet to remain in prison about
ten years, away from the free sunshine of heaven,
& the music voices of kindred and friends, for the
awful crime of obeyng the dictates of humanity,
by endeavoring to tear the prey from the jaws of
the devourer, sla avery and to restore mans inal.

Dear Brother,-Thinking you would
be pleased to hear from me although in
Prison, l take my pen to crafty you.-
| have heard from you occasionally by
your writing to my family since have
been here, and have part OF letter you
wrote my wife sometime since. 1t is not
for the want of brotherly or christian affec-
ton, tlust, that | have not written before
but on account Of circumstances which I
need not mention. wrote to all of our
brothers while in Jail, and 10 you, but
had no chance to send yours as | did the
others and it was left when was taken
out. So you may guess why you did not
receiveit. You may have heard the cir
cumstances which brought me to this place
which | will omit and tell you of present
things. Then will you look within these
walls of stone, which seem to say YOU
shall not depart hence, while try to say
few words. The Lord reigneth and
will cause all things to work together for
good to those that love God. You may
think | have no comfort or hope 1t is not
so, for Prisons as Palaces prove, when we
have Jesus within. Although it is great
trial to be separated from my dear family
and at times makes my heart bleed, yet |
feel that infinite wisdom and love has or
bred it all, and shall l, who am of yes.
terday and know nothing, murmur and
complain? God forbid. You know what
it is to be afflicted in being separated by
death from those that were dear 10 you as
self, and can sympathise in some degree
with me, and | trust receive consolation
from the same source, and can say with
me, it is good to be afflicted. Afliction
makes the bible a new book TO US. How
many passages are there in it, the beauty
OF which we should never have seen, the
sweetness of which we should never

To YOUNG LADIES.

Young maiden, who hast merely gone
botanzing into the land Of Romance,
and there picked up thy knowledge OF
men and the world who on thy entrance
into society anticipates with a fearful
pleasure, that the men all busy them
selves about thee, either as the butterfly
about the rose ,oryt the spider about the fly
word to thee. BE at rest, the world is
not fearful. The men have too much to
do with themselves. Thou wilt have to
experience that they will inquire no more
after thee than after the moon, sometimes
even less. Thou armest myself, thou
of seventeen years, to resist the storm
of life ah thou wilt probably come to
have more to do with its inaction. But
let not thy courage fail, there are life and
love in the world in richest abundance,
not often in the form of which they for
the most part are exhibited in romance.
The romancer distils life he makes
day out of ten years, and out Of a hun
dred grains of corn draws one drop of
spirits /; it is in his trade. The reality
proceeds in another manner, Rarely
come the great events, the powerful
scenes of passion, They belong, in eve
ry day life, not to the rule, but to the
exceptions. On that account, thou good
creature ! sit not and wait, or thou wilt
suffer tedium. Seek not the afluence
of life without thee create it in thy own
bosom. Love, heaven, nature, wisdom,
all that is good around thee, and thy life
will become rich, the sails fits air ship
will fill with fresh wind, and so gradually
soar up the native regions of light and
love. Miss Bremen,

New PUBLIcATloNs.-Mr William F. Bayly
has placed upon our table an elegant fac simile
edition of Blackwoods Magazine for June. We
noticed the rich contents of the June number the
other day. The fac simile edition is from the
press of Leonard Scott & Co., New York, and is
an elegant specimen of typography. The pub
fishers announce that the New World edition
will be discontinued from this time, when Messrs.
Scott & Co. will be without competitor in the
publication.
The politics of Blackwood have become much
liberalised within few years, so that good repub-
licans can read its elegant articles without being
insulted in euery page, though we confess we of
ten lose patience with the arrogant tone of tory
ism. The correct moral and religious tone of
Blackwood, and of all the English reviews that
we see, is worthy Of all praise.

SANns' SARsApARiLLA.-We know that each It's
sue and fibre of the body selects from the vital cur
rent the particles necessary for its growth and repa-
ration. Of what importance, then, it is that this lie

sibe as il would be to dist the elixir vitae from the
deadly Magistrates that corrupt blood should produce
healthy flesh, vigorous FIBRE and sound, well,regu-
lated physical system. This is an axiom in physics
which no sane man will deny. Assuming it, then, to
be true, to subdue the Developments of disease, its
seeds existing in the blood must be expelled from cir
