We can make this fair heritage of humanity a
narrowing scene of desolation without her aid
We can ensave millions of our feow-beings, and
set open wide the sluices of human Blood and
whiten the earth with human bones; we can
curse our species with every form of misery and
malediction without her aid but we cannot bless
mankind, we can do nothing for their good, with
out the cooperating influence of woman. Last
at the cross and first at the sepuchre,' she must
be first at the grave of world buried in sin, and
assist at its resurrection to the light of new day.
1t is on the development and diffusive influence
Of her angel nature, SO congenia with the love
spirit Of the Gospel, that we predicate some of
our strongest hopes of success in this effort to ex-
terminate from the Christian world, the abad-
don genius of War; to whose support both she
and the Gospel have been perverted for long
dark centuries of human history. Her smile once
made millions of warriors, who drenched the
. world with blood, for the bright guerdeon of he
I'VE. Let her now smile on the side of HEAVIER
nd humanity; and the light of her eye and thu
I've of her heart, shall enlist millions of soldier
the ranks of the Prince Of Peace.-AmdSt

FOR THE FREEMAN,

SLAVERY
Freemen, will you not awake!
Freedom sons, now let us make
An effort strong, the bands to break
OF cruel slavery.
Its blighting curse is on our land,
1t reaches forth its gripping hand,
And cries give, give! then now withstand
This foe to Liberty.
Freemen, where is Freedoms light!
Where its fires once burning bright!
In vain we look to Bunkcr's height,
Reyiving days Of yore.
Rc-enkindled may they be,
And their light may millions see,
Reflected on the words "we're free!7
The power of slavery DER.
Christian! let your voice be heard;
Christian! be the truth averred;
Linger not; this hour be stirred
To act for the oppressed,
Let thy heart and mind be found
With thy brethren, neighbor, bound;
Let acts of love with prayer abound,
Then shall you be blessed
Christian, as you hope for Heaven,
Rest not till these chains are riven-
Till this dirciul curse be driven
To dark obli'ion's grave
Then the mind so blinded now,
Shall the fields Of knowledge pillow,
And the souls to Jesus bow,
Salyations boon to crave.
Woman! think of slayery's power,
Women meath its borders cover,
All they dread the storms that lower;
To you they now appeal.
Help to hasten on the day
When Freedom, shedding many a ray,
Shall chase her woes and wrongs away,
And brighter days reveal.
Woman! mother, wife, OF child,
See your sisters anguish wild,
While her children (chatteIs styled
Are torn away and soldl
Oh oppression heeds not signs,
Cares not for the social ties: ~
Untrammelled now, its power itplics
Its awful sway behold
Arouse! awake! be not inert!
Let nothing now our minds divert,
Nor shall we dare the cause desert,
But on to duty press.
For right We'll plead, on wrong we'll iroy
And God, who treads the oppressor down
Our efforts with success will crown,
And slayerys wrongs redress,

MEN AND GENTLEMEN, WOMEN AND
LADIES.

"Men are quarried from the living rock, as

Women are the spontaneous growth of warm

heart feels the visiting of Gods ever changeablc

CRANDnRmEs.-Mr William Hall, of Nor
way, Maine, has succeeded in raising cranberries
on apatch of DOGGY land. He sowed the ber-
rics in the spring, on the snow and ice. The
seed took well, andentirely rooted out the weeds,
Last year he gathered six bushels from a patch
OF land about three rods square, which few
years since was useless.

The COST OF SN-A young man went
from Boston to New Orleans. and pursuing
his business on strict Sabbath principles,
prospered greatly, Il from time to time .cnt
back his funds to be invested. He was
rapidly advancing in wealth, when yielding
to temptatGn he yentured to leave one OF
hisshuitors open, to show customers that
they could be admitted on the Sabbath
Soon both were opened, and then all regard
for the Sabbath was lost. With this there
came a change in his affairs business declM-
ed: soon he made no remittances to Boston,
then he had to send there for funds, and this
course he had to pursue until all his eastern
investments had been taken up He soon
became bankrupt and went back to Bos-
ton vagabond. Seven young men went
into the same business at the same time
Six of them dislegarded the Sabbath. and
failed: the other observed it and became
Wealthy.--(Dr Edwards.

TIME STILL MOVES ON.

Time still moves on, with noiscless pace,
And VIC arc loiterers by the way;
Few win and many lose the race,
For which they struggle, day BY day.
And even when tho goal 10 gained,
How seldom worth the toll Il seems
How lightly valued, when obtained,
The prize that hatlenng Hope esteemA
Submissive TO the winds Of chance,
We toss on Lies ineonstant sea
This bIllow may our bark advance
And that may leave IL on the leo
THIS coast, which rises fair 10 view,
May thick be set with rocky mail,
And that, which beetles o 'er the blue,
BE safest for the shattered sail.
The cloud that, like little hand,
Slow fingers when the morning shines,
Expands its volume DER the land
Dark as forest-sea Of piaes
While that which casts a vapory screen
Before the azure realm Of day,
Rolls upward flom the lowland scene,
And from the mountain-tops away.
Oh, fond deceit | to think the fight
OF time will lead To pleasures strange,
And ever bring some new delight,
To minds that strive and sigh for change
Within ourselves the secret lies,-
Let seasons vary as they WILL

We've bright as those Of Eden still

ALL READY.

While the rumors of war between Mexico
and the United States, are borne upon every
Southern breeze, it would be criminal as well
as foolish for our Executive to send to distant
seas, squadrons ready for service, and leave the
key to the American Continent, the Gulf of
Mexico, unprotected. .....
We rejoice, therefore, to learn, unofficiaIly,
that our grim old battle ships are accidentally in
positions to repel invaders and chastize pirates,
and we should not be surprised if they should
continue in those positions until the questions Of
annexation and of the payment of debts due the
United States, on the part of Mexico, are set
tied.

Evening Gazette:

Will the publishers see if this cannot be remedied-as
we depend upon the organ of the young Democracy

has been our fate for some days past"
The paper is regularly mailed each day before
4 p. M. and, if it does not reach the Gazette
ii is the fault of The Post Office.
Our new Postmaster will not be backward in
remedyipg all such evils.

Queen Dowager and Veluma are the moving spirits,

influential eclesiastics, is to say, sure of triumph.
