he is born to live and labor for another
in which he must lock up the faculties of
his nature, contribute as far as depends
on his individual endeavors 10 the evan
ishment OF the human race, or entail his
own miserable condition on the endless
generations proceeding from him. With
the morals of the people, their industry
also is destroyed, For in warm climate
no man will labor for himself who can
make another labor for him. This is so
true, that ofthe proprietors of slaves, a
very small proportion indeed are ever seen
to labor. And can the liberties of ma

LONG ISLAND RA1LRoND. This
great work, connecting the eastern
end of Long Island with Brooklyn,
has been completed and opened to
the public. A large party Of stock
holders and others celebrated the O.
pening of the road by trip to the
eastern terminus at Grecnport. The
road is IS miles long, and the time
occupied by the first train in passing
over it was 3 hours and IS minutes,
being at the rate of about 81 miles
per hour. A portion of the distance
was done at the rate of As miles Der
hour. The road is said to be level,
without curves, and better calculat-
cd for high speed than any other in
the country. Three hours is named
as the regular time for passing over
it. By this means Boston will be
brought within nine hours of New
York. The smoothness of the road
and the beauty and Convenience of
the cars, is said to equal any in the
Union.

PuGNAoIoUs' On Sunday, near
Gray's Ferry, on the Schuylkill, in
the nelghborhood of Philadelphia, a
bull, who had been frequently an
noyed by Locomotive and a train
of cars, passing on the railroad, near
his grazing lot, came to the resolu-
ton that he would stand it no longer.
So when the fiery courser made its
appearance, his bullship placed
himself in a fighting position, made a
desperate push-and was of course
knocked into bull-beef in about no
time.

Whose top is with evergreen crowned
Seen its rivers roll on in their pride
While the riyulets murmured around.
Twenty summers have passed like a dream
While I've view'd the bright Otter creeks wave
I've seen friends pass away like that stream,
Till at last they were lost in their graves.
III turn from the place of their rest,
1t is lonely and dreary to me
I'll go to the Gland of the west"--
No more their dark home shall see.
But still shall the Green Mountains stand,
Their tops be with evergreen dressed,
While go from my own native land
To the far distant" land of the west.''
And still shall the rivers roll on,
By the rivulet's song luIled to rest
The stars that now shine. still shine on
While go to the " land of the west"
Still the glorious sun roll along
And sink in his splendor to rest
The sweet birds shall continue their song
AS go to the "and of the west"
But will friends still continue the same,
And affection still dwell in their breast
Or, will they forget cen my name,
When I'm far in the Gland of the west ~
Kind friends let my memory stay,
And still find place in your breast
Fen when have HE'D me away

And at morning, midday or at even,
When nature is sinking to rest,
AS you send up your prayer unto heaven
Then think of your friend at the west;
And your memory meier shall depart,
But to me still most welcome guest
Which embamed. III preserve in my heart
When Pm far in the " land of the west"
Now farewell to my Green Mountain home,
And to friends who are dearest and best
Farewell am destined to roam

And when life's short journey is DER
And we shall lie down TO our rest
May we meet on that far distant shore
In the land of the pure and the best.

To DR. PRICE, OF LONDON.
Paris Aug. 7, 1885.
SlR:-Your favor of July I'd came du-
ly TO hand. The concern you therein ex-
press as to the effect fyour pamphlet IN
America, induces ME 10 trouble you with
some observations on that subject. From
my acquaintance with that country, think
[ am able TO Judge with some degree of
certainty of the manner in which it will
have been received. Southwark of The
Chesapeake, it will find but few readers
concurrng with it in sentiment on the
subject of slavery. From the mouth 10
the head of the Chesapeake, the bulk of
the people will approve it in theory, and
it will find respectable minority ready TO
adopt it in practice. A minority, which
for weight and worth of character, prepon-
derates against the greater number who
have not the courage to divest their fami-
lies OF property, which, however, keeps
their consciences uneasy. Northward of
the Chesapeake, you may find here and
there an opponent to your doctrine, as you
may find here and there a robber and a
murderer; but in no greater number. In
that part of America there being but few
slaves, they can easily disencumber them
selves of them; and emancipation is put
into such train that, in few years, there
will be no slaves norihward of Maryland.
In Mary Wand, do not find such dispo-
sition TO begin the redress of this enormity
as in Virginia. This is the next State to
which we turn our eyes for the interesting
spectacle of justice in conflict with avarice
and oppression; conflict wherein the
sacred side is gaining daily recruits from
the influx into office OF young men grown
and growing up: these have sucked in
The principles of liberty, as it were with
their mothers milk. and it is 10 them that
| look with anxiety 10 turn the fate ofthis
question. Be not, therefore, discouraged
what you have written will do great
deal OF good and could you still trouble
yourself with our welfare, no man is more
able to give aid 10 the laboring side.-The
college of William and Mary, in Will.

am satisfied, if you could resolve to ad-
1ress an exhortatioa 10 those Young men,
with all that eloquence of which you are
master, that its influence on the future de-
;ision olthis important question would be
great, perhaps decisive. Thus, YOU see,
hat so far from thinking YOU have
cause TO repent of what you have done,
wish you to do more, and wish it on an
assurance of its effect. The information
have received from America of the re.
:eption of your pamphlet in the different
States, agrees with the expectation | had
ormed. THOMAS JEFFERSON.
