Who HATH REDNEss OF EYEs.-This
nterTogatlve portion of divine scripture S
illustrated by an anecdo;e, related by
friend OF ours with most effective drvness.
An elderly gentleman, accustomed to Gin.
duIge," entered the 5ar-room of an Inn in
the pleasant city Of fl, on the Hud-
son, where sat grave Friend toaslng his
Toes by the fire. Lifting pair OF green
specacles upon his forehead, rub
bed his infamed eyes, and calling for
hot brandy toddy, he seated hmselfby the
CRATE, and as he did so he remarked TO
uncle Broad Brim that his eyes were
getting weaker and weaker, and tina! even

I manufactures, and ships rise in rebellion
and massacre the inhabitants of the north,
ern States.
l am, Mr.. President, no friend of slave-
ry. The searcher OF all hearts knows that
every pulsaton of mine beats high and
strong in the cause Of civil liberty.
Wherever it is sale and practicable, | de1
sire to see every portion Of the human FAM
I lily in the enjoyment Of it. But | pre-
fer the liberty of my own country 10 that
oil any other people; and the Liberty Of nv
own race TO that of any other race.
The liberty of the defendants of Africa
in the United States, is incompatible with
the safety and liberty ofthe European de-
cendants. Their slavery forms an excep-
tion-an exception resulting from stern
and memorable necessity-to the general
liberty of the United States. We did not
originate, nor are we responsible for this
necessity. Their libsry, if it were posi-.
bic, could only be established by violating
the incontesabIe powers of the States, and
Subverting the Union. and beneath the ru@
ms ofthe Uaion would be buried, sooner
or later, the liberty of both races.

The change of material in the body
is almost exactly proportional to the
quantity pure air brealhed, and TO
the amount Of healthy exercise taken,
because on these mainly depend
the assimilation of food. Without
such change of matter there cannot
be any healthy growth; and hence
the small bones and loose fesh-as
soft and puffy as though it we've
wind-swolen-of children who are
delicately reared. Such children
cannot have elastic, bounding mus
Giles; for theirs are the old tlacid
muscles whose material ought to
have been renewed months ago.
They cannot have bright eyes and
roseate cheeks; for the old, defaced
lenses of the eyes are still in use,
and strong exercise in the open air
has never projected the blood out
ward to fill the vessels Of the true
skin with the hues of beauty and the
glow OF health. In regard TO those
young men who have suffered the
misfortune of a luxurious domestic
training, who have hardly been al
lowed to wash their own faces or to
tie their own shoes, it is often alleg-
ed as an excuse for inaptilude, their
want of dexterity and resource, in
the emergencies of life, that they
have never been accustomed or dis
ciplined to contrive and to think, in
the adaptation Of means to ends, or
in tracing relations between causes
and effects. But this is far from be-
ing all. Their imbecility does not
come merely from a want of prac-
tice, but from their being obliged to
use an old brain, the substance of
which ought to have been renovated
all its ibres taken up and relaid-
many times by vigorous exercises,
and by responsible application to
some department of business. In
such persons the half-decayed nerves
have become almost non-conductors
of volition; and the brain, through
the want of renewal of its sub
stance, is too loose and spongy for
the manifestation of thought. This
