For the Freeman.
What can be Done?

The question is often put, "What can our
Government do, consistently with the provisions
of the Constitution, to eradicate that system of
slavery, which is the sin and disgrace of our ma
tom" | answer
LIST. They can repeal all those laws, by which
slavery is countenanced and sustained within the
District of Columbia.
Cd. They can restrict, if not wholly suppress.
the interstate slave-trade. This is as bad as
the African slave trade-an enormous evil, and
might be greatly abated, if not wholly suppressed
by Congress.)
Sd. Congress might refuse to admit another
slave State. (Whatever might have been said in
favor Of admitting those States, which were for
med within our original limits, no good reason
can be given, why any new State from other ter
ritory, should be admitted into our confederation,
with the curse Of slavery; and it should not be
done.)
4th. Congress may repeal all laws, which
countenance, or support the slave system, and ut
terly refuse to have anything to do with it.
IF the institution is local and belongs to the
States who foster it, let them take care Of it,
Congress should have no more to do with the
municipal laws of slavery, than with the munici-
pal laws of Boston, or any other place.)
5th. Our Government may do much to de-
stroy slavery by discountenancing it in all their
official appointments, (Now our Government
will not appoint any man who is an abolition
list. If they have a right to do this, then they
have an equal right to refuse to appoint any
STAKEHOLDER to office, just as they now refuse to
appoint any abolitionist. Let the Government
do this, and it would tell powerfully upon the
wicked Institution. For shareholders love Office
about as well as they do slavery
Here then are FIVE things which Government
can do to suppress slavery, without violating
the provisions of the Constitution. And this
would probably be all that they need V do Can
any reasonable man, who does in his heart OPP
pose slavery, tell me why all this should not be

CHARITABLE HIGHWAYMAN.

1t is said of Boulter, a highwayman, that one
day, riding on the high road, he met young
m who was weeping, and appeared to be in
great distress. Touched with compassion, he
asked her what was the cause of her affection
when she told him that a creditor, attended by a
sheriff, had gone to a house she pointed out, and
threatened to take her husband to jail for a debt
of thirty g%uineas. Boulter gave her the amount,
told her to pay the debt and set her husband at
liberty and she ran of, loading the honest man
with benedictions. Boulter, in the mean time,
waited in the road till he saw the creditor come
out, and then took from him the thirty guineas,
and every thing else he had about him,

WATER-CURE IN AMERICA.
Horace Greeley, Esq. New-York Z:

Horace Greeley, Esq. New-York
Dear Sir Nearly three years ago l was re-
quested by several of your friends to give them
information about the establishment which | in
tended to commence for curing diseases by cold
and pure spring-water, according to the method
of Vincent Priessnitz in Graefenberg, Germany.
AT that time | began to be aware of the great
difficulties which such an enterprise might en-
counter in this country, the greatest of which
very few may apprehend. This is the scarcity of
such water as may be deemed pure, cold and
never-failing. Partly because of this difficulty, I
had to give up the idea of establishing myself in
the neighborhood of Boston. 1t was be accident,
however, that finally found what l sought in
Brattleboro' Vermont, near the Connecticut
River.
Aided by some distinguished friends, | am
now establishing myself in the said place for the
purpose. l may be able to receive patients in
the first part of May. Therefore I now take
the liberty to give you notice, in order to invite
your friends, as many as may choose to be pa
%tients, and who are likely to be benefited by the
Water-Cure to come to Bratt!eboro.
To decide whether their diseases are durable
by water, | expect from all patients, desirous of
being placed under my care, a frank and lucid
statement of the nature and symptoms of their
ailments, in giving which they will do well to
consult their physicians, I shall give them an
answer speedily, and, if find them probably
durable by water, give notice at what time they
may come to Brattleboro, under what conditions
| can receive and treat them, what they should
bring with them, etc. etc.
Brattleboro is beautifully situated, but it is a
small place, and offers, besides a few taverns,
not many facilities for boarding strangers. Il
would be therefore inconsiderate for patients tc
come to the place without having provided lodg,
ings. From the limited number of rooms at m
disposal, and from the number of applications
already made, it appears advisable to make ar
rangement some time previous to the intended
arrival. Franked letters may now be directed
to me to Boston, and from the 10th of mex
month May to Brattleboro.
Herewith | recommend my enterprise to YOU
patronage, as | am not acquainted with editors
of newspapers, | have to place one considerable
part of its fate in your honest hands.
With the highest respect, Your most obedien
servant,

Observation-Disclosures are beneficial to the
soul, though not as agreeable to the feelings, as
medicine is to the body. Will any wise person
blame the physician of approved skill, that his
prescriptions are unpaletable to the taste, if he
has reason to believe that his life is in danger,
and that they are intended to restore him to
health!
Had our Heavenly Father intended this world
for his children's portion, their accommodations
would be better, but they are strangers and pill
grims travelling towards their distant home. They
must expect travellers fare; and the mean enter
tainment which they meet by the way, is intend
ed to make home more desirable, and to urge
them forward with great speed.

A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-Mrs. Child, in one
of her late pleasant ~fctions, has this truly poet-
cal sentiment
"Two souls that are sufficient to each other,
sentiments, affections, passions, thoughts, all
blending in loves harmony, are earth's most per-
feet medium of heaven. Through them the an
gels come and go continually, on missions oflove
to all the lower forms of creation. 1t is the halo
of these heavenly visitors that wells the earth in
such a golden glory and makes every little flow
er smile its blessings upon lovers"

THE FOOD OF MAN.

The Genesee Farmer gives this brief summa-
ry Of the native countries of our most familiar
plants
The potatoe is a native of South America,
and is still found wild in Chill, Peru and Monte
Video. In its native state, the root is small and
bitter. The first mention oft by European wri-
tiers is in 1888. 1t is now spread over the world.
Wheat and Rye originated in Tartary and Sibe-
ria, where they are still indigenous. The only
country where the oat is found is in Abyssinia,
and thence may be considered a native. Maize
or Indian corn, is a native af Mexico, and was
unknown in Europe until after the discoveries
of Columbus. The bread fruit tree is a native
ofSouth Sea Islands, particularly Otaheite. Tea
is found a native no where except in China and
Japan, from which country the world is supplied.
The cocoa nut is a lative of most equinoctial
countries, & is one of the most valuable trees, as
food, clothing and shelter are afforded by it
Coffee is a native Of Arabia Felix, but is now
spread into both the East and West Indies. The
best coffee is brought from Mocha, in Arabia.
whence about fourteen millions of pounds are an
nually exported. st. Domingo furnishes from
sixty to seventy millions of pounds yearly. AL
the varieties of the apple are derived from the
crab apple, which is found native in most parts
of the world.
The peach is derived from Persia, where i
still grows in a native state, small, bitter, ant
with poisonous qualities. Tobacco is a native
of Mexico and South America, and lately on
species has been found in New Holland. To
bacco was first introduced into England from N
Carolina, in 1886, by Walter Raleige. Aspar
agus was brought from Asia: cabbage and let
tuce from Holland; horse radish from China
rice from Ethiopia; Beans from the East Indies
onions and garlics are natives of various place
both in Asia and Africa. The sugar cane is
native of China, and the art Of making suga
from it.

THE SEASONS.

You will agree with Old Humphrey that Spring
the flowers blooming, the green trees waving, the
birds singing, the balmy breeze blowing, the spirit
rejoices, and the lips burst into a song.
Summer is a pleasant time, when the noon-tide
ray gilds up the woods, the waters. and the noun
tain-tops; when the air is filled with odors, and
the laugh of the merry haymukers is heard in the
meads.
Autumn is a pleasant time, and we cannot look
without ~gladnesS on the golden grain, the laden
fruit trees, the varied foliage, and the kindling
heavens.
Winter is q pleasant time to all who are hardy
enough to walk abroad when the frosted snow lies
on the ground, and the tees are hung Enthusiastically
with rhine, for then wonder is awakened in the
mind, and The pure, sharp, bracing air gives cheer
fulness to the spirit.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter are
pleasant seasons, and if any thing can make them
more pleasant, it is the heartfelt remembrance
that they are the gift of God. Yess He who hath
measured the waters liz the hollow of his hand,
and melted out the heavens with a span, s. compre-
hended the dust of the earth in a measure, and
weighed the mountains in scales, and hills in n
balance; He, with whom the nations are us a
drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small
dust of the balance, who "taketh up the isles az a
very little thing;'' for whom "Lebanon is not
sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufli-
cient for a burnt-ofering;" He has given them to
me. And what have | given in return3 the frag-
ments of my feelings, and the mere shreds of the
joyous days and peaceful nights He has beloved
on mt.
Oh let me then with all my powers,
ProlonS his sacred praise,
Through Spring and Summers rosy hours
And Autumn's pleasant days.
Aud when the keener wintry skies
Shall freeze the sterile ground,
Then let the haIlelujahs rise,
Then more and more abound.

PRESERVING VINEGAR FOR DOMESTIC PURPos-
Es.-Cork it up in glass bottles, set them on the
fire with cold water, and as much hay or straw
as will prevent them from knocking together;
when the water nearly boils, take off the pan, and
let the bottles remain in the ley a quarter of an
hour. Vinegar thus prepared never loses it viz
tue, though kept many years, or occasionally left
uncovered, and is peculiarly suitable for pickles
To RESTORE FLowERs.--Most flowers begin
to droop and fade after being kept "a hours in
water. Place the flowers in scaldlng water
deep enough to cover one third of the stem: by
the time the water has become cold, the flowers
will have become erect and fresh; cut off the
the ends, and put them in cold water.

To JONI GLASS ToGETHER.--Melt little is
inglass in spirits of wine, adding thereto about a
fifth part of water, and using a gentle heat, when
perfectly melted and mixed, it will form a trans
parent glue, which will unite glass so that the
fracture will hardly be perceived.
To PERFUME CLoTHEs.-Take of oven-dried
Lest cloves, cedar and rhubarb wood, each one
ounce, beat them to a powder and sprinkle them
in box or chest, where they will create a most
beautiful scent and preserve the apparel against
moth.
To RESTORE BAD YEAsT.-Mix with it a lit
tie flour, sugar, salt, brandy and beer, and these
will confer on it the qualities of good yeast.
Good yeast may also be made by adding the same
mixture to the grounds of ale.

PLANT NEITHER TOO CLOSE NOR
TOO FAR APART.

There is a happy medium in all things, which
it behooves a good farmer to study in planting
his various crops. If he plants too far apart,
weeds are more certain to take the place of the
crop, and he does not get that return from his
lane and labor that he should do. On the con-
trary if he plants too close, there is a continued
struggle between the roots of the plants for their
food below ground, and their branches and leaves
for pure air, and an opportunity of absorbing
nourishment for it above ground. The conse-
quence is, that the roots get dry and sticky, and
the leaves soft, moist and weak; they become I'M
healthy, are covered with mould, or are destroy
ed by insects. For this reason we are much
opposed to sowing anything broadcast which can
be drilled. Corn for fodder has been found al
mort invariably to yield a much larger quantity
of stalks ard ears in drills than broadcast; the
sam principle holds good with turnips and 9TH
err roots; and wheat in drills is not near as liza
BILE to rust and mildew as when sown broadcast.
Particular regard should be had to this matter in
cultivating cabbage, cauliaower, and broccoli
Blight, mould, and lice, and other insects, are
sure to attack these vegetables when planted toe
thick; they must have room to pasture their root:
in the earth below, and to breath fresh air in
their lungs (the %Ieaves) above, or they will be-
come sick, diseased, and die. There can be nc
rule for distances--the farmer must be his owr
Judge in these matters, Dwarf Canada corr
may be planted for a crop of grain two feet apart
while the tall Virginia must stand at least four
The plants Of the delicate little Savoycabbagt
may be within a foot of each other, while tht
large Bergen is crowded if it has not two fee
each way to stretch its burly proportions.

Years passed away. The words of little Anne,

OFF a man will but glance over his yester-
day, he will at once see how foolish it is to fret
ones self about the time to come; for he will
find in every yesterday, a miniature grave, as it
were, dug by a too fearful imagination, in which
is buried all his little store of daily happiness.
Men slight the good they have, in their anxiety
for the good to come. They waste their oil for
to-day in %fruitless attempts to procure a supply
for the morrow, forgetting that He, who repleh-
ishes the cruise, is inexhaustible.
