The Contrast,

The STAKEHOLDER takes little children from
their parents, places them on the auction stand
and sells them into interminable bondage Blu
Christ takes little children in his arms ant
blesses them and returns them to the embrace
of their parents, The former makes many poor
that he may live in splendor; the latter became
poor, that others might be made rich The
former quafs the cup of pleasure, and measures
out bitterness to others; the latter drinks the
cup of misery to the dregs, and offers to Others
the cup Of salvation.
The former divides families, selling husband
from wife and parent from child; the latter unite'
those who have been divided, as in The case o
Lazarus and his effectionate sisters. The for
mer makes many homeless, that he may live il
stately mansion; the latter was homeless that
others might have home in the skies The
former closes every avenue by which light could
reach the mind OF the slave; the latter comes a
light to tighten every man that comes into the
world. The former scourges the innocent that
his own guilt may be excluded from light; the
latter endured the cruel lash that Others may es'
cape deserved punishment.
The former loads others with cOntumely and
reproach that his own character may be had in
honor; the latter had his name cast out as evil
that others might be acquitted and approved
The former is bolsterous, the latter gentle; the
former exacts from others the profits Of thell
severe toll, the latter labored that others may
derive benefit from it; the former tramples on
the law, the latter honors it; the former blots
out the marriage covenant, the latter hates put
ting away; the former degrades human nature
the latter honors it; the former fastens CLASP
upon the lips of others, the lips ofthe latter dis
pense knowledge; the former deals in wrath anC
blows, the latter in mercy and love; the former
reigns in tyranny and blood, the latter in right
eousness; the former rises on the degradation o
others, the latter descends to elevate others.
Ignorance and heathenism are the attendant:
Of the former, wisdom and knowledge those o
the latter. The former laughs at misery anC
mocks at compassion; the latter sympathize
with all who mourn. In word, the forme
makes fearful havoc of human life but thu
latter so loves the world that he willingly groan;
out his life on the cross that others might live

ofTexas necessary to the preservation of slavery in

the savemongers driving annexation in hot haste
and that tho which pour
ing in against the extension of slavery are silently
laid on the table. But do not despair There are
signs that many Northern men, who voted for annexa-

all, this year. Pour in the remonstrances Masaachu-

nearly $4,000! Hon. Henry Wilson and John G.
Whittier have been sent on to Washington as the
bearers of these remonstrances.

The rehgous public, at least are supposed TO De Ia
miliar with the history Of that devoted, sefdenying
pioneer in the foreign missionary field, Dr. Judson of
the Burmah Mission and most probably, have learned
from the religious journals that he is now on visit to
this country and also that his wife died during the
passage. It was in April when DIR. Judson set sail
with his wife for this country in the hope of restoring
her health by long sea voyage. They took with
them from India three children, but left behind them
three babies the youngest only three and half months
old in the care of the mission families The following
ines written by Mrs Judson on ship board, near the
Isle of France when, from the improved condition of
her health it appeared to be the duty of Mr. Judson to
return to Maulmen, and leave her to prosecute her
her journey alone, do not recollect ever to have
seen equalled for deep natural feeling, real poetic
merit or triumphant Christian faith. When they ar
rived at the Isle of France however, DR.. Judson find
ing the health of his wife becoming worse, instead Of
BETTER was compelled to relinquish his purpose of re-
turning So they passed onward in their voyage to-
gether "She continued" says DR.. Judson "to decline
until she reached St. Helena, when she took her de-
parture not for the setting sum- but for the Sun Of
Glory that never sets, and left to pursue different
course and under very different circumstances from
those anticipated in the lines"
THE PARTING.
We part on this green islet, love! ...
Thou for the eastern main-
for the setting sun, love-
Oh, when to meet again!
NV heart is sad for thee love,
For lone thy way will be;
And oft thy tears will fall, love,
For thy children and for me.
The music of thy daughters voice
Thou'lt miss for many year.
And the merry shout of thine elder boys
Thou'lt list in vain to hear.
When we knelt to see our Henry die
And heard his last faint moan,
Each wip'd the tear from others eye
Now, each must weep alone
Ny tears fall fast for thee, love,
How can say FAREWELL
But go, thy God be with thee, love,
Thy hearts deep grief to quell.
Yet my spirit clings to thee, love,
Thy soul remains with me,
And oft we'll hold communion sweet
Der the dark and distant sea-.
And who can paint our mutuaf joy,
When, all our wanGerngs DER,
We both shall clasp our infants three
At home on BUmah's shore.
But higher stall our raptures glow
Onyon celestial plain,
When the loved and parted here below
Meet ne'er to part again!
Then grid thine armor on, love,
Nor faint thou by the way
| Till the Boodh shall fall and Burnah's sons
| Shall own Messiah's sway!
GAnd So" says Mr. Judson, 81 will endeavor yet t
do; and while her PROSTATE form finds repose on tn
rock of the ocean, and her sancted spirit finds sweet
er repose on the bosom Of Jesus, let me continue
toll 6nall my appointed time, untimy change toosha
