BRANDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1914.

that am the last man in the world who
would do any thing to "overthrow the
christian ministry" And l deny that
any thing that have said has any
such tendency. If the christian ministry
shall be ever overthrown 1t will be by a
suicidal act o. unfaithiulness to its great
trust. While it is faithful to God and
man, it will stand. "Lo AN with you,
always, even unto the end of the world"
was the promise of Him who gave it Its
great commission. But what was that
commission "Go We into all the s0Orld,
and preach the gospel to e0ery creature"
That commission the demon of slavery
seeks, practically, to annul, Let every
of Christ see to it. that his heart,
and hands and voice are engaged to Wind
icate the right of the Savior to have the
heather fall the heathenl for his inherit
ance, and the utlermosl parts of the earth
for his possession. WILLIAM SLADE.

Great Meeting in the N. H. Prison.

There was indeed great meeting in
the State Prison, last Sunday afternoon.
Ga the invitation ofthe Rev. Mr.. Atwood,
the worthy Chaplain of that institution,
and who takes a deep interest in the NOR
al welfare of the prisoners, John B.
Cough, spoke on TIE subject of temper
ance. His address was exceedingly in.
teresing. His eloquence was not of the
schools-it was not learned and studied
it was the eIoquence of the heah-a
heart bruised and crushed by intemper-
ance and neg lect-rescued from that mis-
cry and kinded into fame Of love by
the bIest spirit of kindness which has ev-
er been in the midst OF the Westinghouse

MAssAcHusETTs.-Mr. D. P. King of
this State, was asked by Mr., Gilmer, IN
a very supplementary and indecorons
manner, but one that is only too common
in the present House, whether the great
Latimer petition had not been headed by
a slave? Mr. King turned and gave this
noble answer:
"Sir, In Massachusetts we know no
slave. There, every being, made in the
image of his Maker, owes allegiance and
homage only to his Creator"

AcouITTAL OF Mrs. GILMoUR. The
trial OF Mrs. Christina Cochran or Gil
mour, for the murder of her hushaud-a
case which has excited great interest, both
from its circumstances and the panels APP
prehension in New York, under the Ash
burton treaty, occupied the High Court
of Justiclary on Friday aud Saturday
week. After a summing up from Lord
Justice Clerk, the jury retired 10 consider
their verdict and in about an hour after
wards they returned into the Court, and
by their chancellor retained the following
verdict: 1.-THE jury, after careful and
mature deli5era.ion of the evidence before
them in this case, are unanimously of
opinion that John Gilmour died from the
effects of arsenic but they find that the
charge is not proven against the panel at
the bar as libelled"

She grew in beauty, loved Of all,
The idol of the hall and hearth,
For every one a pleasant look,
A word Of artless mirth.
He died, whose smile had been to her
The sunshine of her guiIeless heart
And now the darkness gathered there
That might not thence depart.
The green earth faded and the stars,
Birds sung their sweetest songs in vain,
Nor sight nor sound could ever cheer
That stricken soul again
The ose.bloom faded on her cheek,
Her laughing eye grew dim with grief
And the hushed sigh, but half concealed,
Told that her days were brief.
Twas sad beside her couch to stay
And watch the lingering fleeing BREATH
- TO see that brow of innocence
Grow pale and dark in death!
They bound her cold dscolored lips
They wrapped her in snow-white shroud,
And laid her by the form she loved,
When the bleak winds blew loud.
And often when the summer day
Fades into twilight's gloomy hours,
Her young companions seek her grave
To weep and scatter flowers.
She slceps-but many a heart, wcen,
Throbs in the bitterness of wo,
That one, so young and beautiful,
Should bloom and perish SO

The following letter from the Anti.

sometimes kills itself by the virulence of
its sting carries in itself an antidote for
all the harm it can do to sensible readers,

notice, but from the high Standing of the
writer.

erlv do; but send without hesitation any
publications which | think contain vaIu-
able information; deemng the dissem;n-

We crave the liberty to append to this
letter few brief comments.
/. 1t is fair presumption that it was
never designed for the press. No doubt
it contains the secret Thoughts or senli-
ments of the writer, conGdentialIy ex-
pressed but he must have been surprised,
and possibly mortified, to find that pro,
claimed on the house tops which was
whispered in a corner. Some men in
their zeal for the abolition of slavery,
have so far abolished prudence and com.
mon sense as to put in type whatever
comes to their hard suited TO their object,
without pausng to balance the question
whether it be discreet or indiscreet. The
only apology for the ex-member of Con-
gress in sending such letter TO the Ed.
itors, or friends of the Anti-Slavery Re-
porter, must be found If found at all
in the deficiency of good sense in the
publishers, Why did they not tag It on
as an Appendix to DR.. Laton's Address

fortunate in every point Of view. The

The following is the commencement
of a discussion relating to the subject Of
slavery, between Hon. William S'ade of

the Rutland Herald. That we may be
accused of no uniairncss, we copy the

We believe the reader will be benefited
