FRIENDSHIP.

How tresome do all the pleasures of the world
appear, when compared with the happiness of a
faithful, tender, and enlightened friendship
How joyfully do we shake off the shackles Of So
ciety for that high aud intimate connection ofthe
soul, where our incnations are Free and feelings
genuine, and our sentiments unbiased; where a
mutual confidence of thoughts and actions, Of
pleasures and of pains uninterruptedly prevails;
where the heart is led with JOY along the path Of
virtue, and the mind conducted by happiness into
the bowers oftruth; where every thought is an
cipated before it escapes the lips; where advice,
consolation, and succor are reciprocally given
and received in all the accidents and msfortunes
in life. The soul, thus animated by the charm
of friendship, springs from its sloth and apathy,
views the irradiating beams of hope breaking on
its repose. Does the tear Of sorrow steal down
the cheek of one! The other with affection
wipes it tenderly away. The deepest sorrows of
one are felt with equal poignancy by the other.
But what sorrow can resist the consolation which
flows from an intercourse of hearts so tenderly,
so intimately, so closely united7 The only mis-
fortune of which they have any fear is the great
est they can possibly experience, misfortune of
absence, separation and death.-Zimmerma

her departed husband We should not be sur
prised if Cannon's ghost were to haunt them for
their neglect We hope they will think Of it, as
they rest on their pillow, at the midnight " hour
when church yards yawn, that they will call
to mind poor Cannon and the Jail in which he
and his wife were incarcerated-the stove and
half dollar--the cup of whiskey brought to wet
the dead mans lips and gulped down by the
insatiate widow--the application of the knife
to the warm corps----the box of boards and the
ready made grave clothes and the lonely and
solemn procession. We hope they will call these
things to view and then see if at their bedside
they can discern the haggard, ghastly and man
gled form of their victim, glazing on them with
fiery eyeballs, whispering at first, and then with
voice rising louder and louder on the silent air
piercing their ears and causing their brain to
whirl and their heart to quake with the unearthy
yell of murder

THE IDoLATRY OF WEALTH.

This insane and Unsuitable passion for accumu-
Iation, ever ready, when circumstances favor, to
seize upon the public mind, is that Glove of mo-
ney which is the root of all evil, that "covetous-
ness which is idolatry." 1t springs from an UNI
due, an idolatrous estimation of the value of pro-
perty Many are feeling that nothing nothing
will do for them or their children, but wealth;
not good character, nor well trained and well
executed faculties, not virtue, not the hope OF
heaven-nothing but wealth. 1t is their god,
aud the god of their families Their sons are
growing up to the same worship of it, and to an
equally baneful reliance upon it for the future;
they are rushing into expenses, which the divided
property oftheir fathers house will not enable
them to sustain; and they are preparing to be, in
turn and from necessity slaves to the same idol
How truly is it written, that 'they that UiH be
rich, fall into many temptations and snare, and
fall into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which
drown men in destruction and perdition" There
is no need that they should be rich, but they UiA
be rich. All the noblest functions Of life may
be discharged without wealth, all its highest
honors obtained all its purest pleasures enjoyed
yet repeat it, nothing-nothing will do but
wealth. Disappoint man of this and ne
mourns as If the highest end oflife were defeated
Strip him of this, and this gone, all is gone
Strip him of this, and shall point to no un

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LIBERTY
PARTY.

1t would be difficult to find in the history of
e world body of 81, 600 men who have held
equal responsibility with the Liberty party in
e United States. For more than two centu-
es portion of the people have been suffering
e heaviest oppression without direct effort for
heir emancipation. The Liberty party has I'M
ertaken their cause ,and THREE MILLIONS of our
puntrymen look to it for protection and defence,
eading in all the eloquence of their ruin for our
lefty and success, while the remainder of the
ople are generally eagued, practically, at least,
ainst them. What trust Washington and
coadutors held in their hands the hopes of
more millions than now constitute the object
our efforts. We stand by the slaves, asser-
1g their rights-and demanding their protec-
pn by the shield of American law. Both this
d other nations are watching the result with
tense interest To succeed is to save the
public to fail is common ruin. No men
vcr held more responsible or sublime posi-
lion.
The past has been cheering, the future is full
pf promise but to be efficient our efforts must
continue to be single and direct. We have Sc
Pcted our principles and tried an application of
EN-, and the result has exceeded our anticipa-
ns. Our work now is to impress more gen.
ally and deeply the facts and arguments of our
ause upon the American mind and heart--to
burn them in till they are ineffaceable. We cannot
and should not stop to adjust mere questions in
political economy or determine what the Liber-
ty party shall be or do after its great work is
DONE Time will throw more light on these
things than argument Neither do think it will
be wise to attempt to incorporate new principles
into the liberty party. All, for instance, might
not--do not-agree on the utmost limits of con-
stitutional power in congress over slavery, but
all do agree on the gro md hitherto occupied
and there we should stand, patiently but most
earnestly laboring to bring the public mind and
action to it. Congress may have power, and we
are inclined to believe that it has, to abolish sla-
very within the states, but this is not liberty
party principle, and we do not wish it to become
such, Tor the powers hitherto asserted are entire
ly sufficient to accomplish our object. Let this
party, by all the array of power it now possesses
upon the public mind, abide with single eye
by its grand a ONE IDEA," and we shall carry it
through trumphantly, bringing deliverance and
ioy unutterable to those suffering millions whose
cause is committed to our charge. Let nothing
divert us, nothing divide us, nothing discourage
us, and we shall accomplish one Of the most
stupendous deeds of philanthropy which the
world will have ever witnessed--Lib. Stanca'd

distant, where their friends and relations resided
in more genial cline, surrounded with all the
blessings of life-but compelled to rest their eyes
on vast, dreary, and monotonous sea of ice, a
mass of frozen waves, surrounding myriads o.
icebergs, extending to the utmost limit of theil
vision
Fancy might even go further than this, and
portray the last of these unhappy colonists, who
had fingered on the stage of life, until he had
seen all of his companions-all, of each sex
and every age, die miserable death, the prey
of want and despair. Poets have described, in
lines of SURPRISING beauty and sublimity, the
horrors which may be supposed to surround
I" The Last Man" but there seems to be re-
moteness, and indeed an air of improbability
about the subject which robs it of half its force
and majesty. But here is an event which has
actually occurred, and worthy of being commem-
GRATED by the ablest pen in the land. Here, in
deed, we may imagine, without offending proba-
bity, the wild horrors, invading the very temple
of reason, and accommodating, until madness takes
possession of the mind. Here we may look for
the reality of the fanciful picture, presented
with so much terrible distinctness by the poets.

The FIRST SABBATH.-The sixth day of ere
alton drew near its close. The sun had finished
his course, and the gloom of evening began tc
spread over the EARTH The frstborn son o
earth stood upon hill in Eden near Eloah, hi
guardian angel and guide
1t grew darker and darker about the hill
Twilight rushed to the embrace of night, ant
threw her dewy robes over hill and val ley The
songs of the birds and the noises of the beasts
were hushed, and even the air seemed to sleep.
"What is all thiSl" said the man with soft
and low voice to his heavenly guide
"Will he young creation disappear, and sink
down into chaosl
Eloah smiled, and said" 1t is the repose o.
Earth"
Now appeared the heavenly lights, the moon
arose and the starry hosts followed in splendor.
Man looked upward with sweet surprise and
the angel of the Lord looked with pleasure upon
the gazing son ofearth. The night was still
and the song of the nightingale Aoated in the
air.
EIoah touched the man with his staff. He lay
down on the hillock and slept. His first dream
come over him and Jehovah made him COM
panion
When the morning twilight opened, Eloah
touched the slumbering one. He awoke and felt
new power and life streaming through him. The
hills and valleys rose out of the gloom, the sun
arose, bringing the day. Man looked upon his
new formed wife, the mother of all living. Sur
prise and delight filled his heart "See," said
Eloah, "the divine is created out of rest"
Therefore shalt thou consecrate this day to
rest and devotion. Krummacher.

HINTS ON MAKING BUTTER.

In making butter, care should be taken to
stract all the butter milk, yet great care shot
be noted not to over work it, by which the
butter flavor is lost. Butter should never be wo
ed with the hand. 1t has been dicovered that
application of Saleratus, say teaspoonful to
ry five pounds of Butter, put into the churn in
solution of water at the moment the but
appears will, by neutraizing the acids,
greatly to the flavor and sweetness of
butter.
Butter should be sailed with Dairy Salt on
and lightly making it fit for table use-havei
no salt between the layers nor on either hea
If left any time in the cellar it should be

Many dairymen practice sowing corn broad
on rich soil; and in August and Septem
when their pastures are dry and short, they q
up this corn and feed it. This is found to I
the best food which can be given to COWS at thu
season Of the year; it increases the flavor of :
milk and enriches it, thus keeping up the prV
ducts of the dairy, and no doubt improves I'll

A new principle for churning butter has lat,
ly come out, which bids fair to be useful, an

Family Prayer.-In binding family to-
gether in peace and love, there is no human in
huence like that of domestic prayer. Uniting
them in common object, it un:tes their sympa-
thies and their desires. Raising their hearts to
heaven, it brings them altogether in the presence
of God. The family altar is an asylum to which
they repair from the care and tolls oflife. Re-
minding them of the rest reserved i'll heaven, it
unites them in efforts of faith and obedience for
its attainment. Earth has no holier spot than a
house thus sanctifed by prayer; where the voice
of supplication and thanksgiving consecratei
every day, where the word ofGod is deVouty read
and all unite to show forth all his praise. II
may be humble, but it is holy, and, therefore
heavenly. Poverty may be there, and sorrow
but its inmates are rich in faith, and joyous III
the Holy Ghost. Sickness and death may entel
it; but they will come as angels of peace anC
mercy, and the spirits whom they release from
the Imprisonment Of the flesh, will be united, free
and happy, to worship forever as earth did no
permit them, family in heaven 4, 4. 4.
