The following is an extract from the farewell Of
Mrs. Emily Judson, the Fanny Forester" of the
Magazines. It has the touching gracefulness which
marks the productions of her pen.
A WORD OF FAREWELL
TO The Christian churches NTH tohOm haze been con-
nected:
In discovering the various ties which bind me to the
land of my BIRTH find one of peculiar strength and
interest 1t is not easy to say farewell when father
and mother brother and sister, and those less
DEAR are left behind us at the word it is not easy to
break away from the sweet simple attractions Of social
life or the increasing destinations of world but too
night and beautiful but there other ties to break,
other sorrowful farewels to be spoken The parents
and friends brothers and sisters whom Christ has Civ
en- u.s. and who for his sake have loved us, occupy no
remote corner of our hearts. Such friends of mine
are trust scattered various parts Of the country;
those whose prayers at this moment Strengthening
both hand and heart. Oh, know you have prayed
for me, we whose prayers ''ava much;" for, casting
away my broken reed, and trusting in God only have
been made strong
We do not always feel the deepest love for those
with whom we are visibly connected; SO, though the
beloved church in the village of Hamilton has never
been my home, the strongest tie binding me to it is not
that the names of those to whom God first gave me are
enrolled among its members have often worshiped
there; there resolution conservation of self which
cost-the Omnisclent only knows how great an effort
received ready encouragement and sympathy; there
prayers were offered, tears wep and blessings spo-
ken, which shall bear upon my hear-a precious bur
den and thther shall turn for future prayers future
encouragement, and future sympathy Oh, my eyes
grow dim, when think of the loved ones friends off
Jesus, in my own dear home-the beautiful village
Hamilton.

An Important Slaoe Cdse.-In the Baltimore
city court, on Tuesday of last week the impor-
tant slave case of Hope H. Slater vs.. Lucy
Crawford, was finally decided The motion for
new trial was argued; the court refused the
motion, and the petitioner for freedom was de-
clared free and discharged. Mr., Slater imme-
diateIy furnished her with funds to return to her
home in the district, and has treated her with
uniform kindness since she has been in his Gus
tody. The decision of the court in this case
will, it is thought, give freedom to hundreds of
slaves now residing in the District of Columbia,
who are owned in Maryland, as the freedom of
the petitioner was awarded by the jury to the
petitioner on this ground alone.

WORK! LIBERTY MEN, there is no time left for
long arguments or new plans of operations; let york
be the order Of the day until the election. Let the
whole time, far as possible, be consecrated to the
holy cause ofberty Visit every one of your honest
neighbors: read the truth to him-reason kindly with
him of the claims of the oppressed-disarm him of pre-
iudice--and leave no honorable means unried to in
duce him to vote 'ths once" for liberty, humanity and
religion, and we assure you he will never go back!

BURLINGTON, Aug. 3, 1916.
Mr. EDIroR This place has, in the return of the
annual commencement, become the scene of activity
and hustle The exercises have been unusually in
terestng. On Monday evening an address was de-
vered before the Religious Society by Rev. Eli Car
penter of Littleton, N. H. His subject was "The
ground evidence and aim of Religion" The dis
course was plain calculation of the evidences Of
christianity, and the great aim to be accomplished by
Religion. 1t was replete with wise sayings, and ma
ny passages were truly eloquent. On Tuesday NOR
ming the Associated Alumni were addressed by John
G. Forsyth Esq, of Troy, N. Y. His theme was
"The influence of education upon the different pro-
fessions" 1t delivered so indstnctly as to rem
der it impossible for me to give any just idea of it.
Some who sat near the speaker say 1t fine pro-
duction, and no doubt it will be published.
In the afternoon an address pronounced before
the Literary Societies, by ]. 7. Headly the well known
author of "Sketches in Italy," "Napoean and his Mar.
shall" His theme "The want of progressive
principle in man." He commenced by following the
advancement of this principle from the creation of the
world through all ages and ranks of society, its ntu-
upon the governments of the different nations of
the earth, especially the power it exers upon Amer
lean Institutions and the bearing it destined to
have upon the present system of education. 1t was
written in his peculiarly beautiful and interesting style
and delivered with grace and eloquence rarely met
with in public speaker
The exhibition of the Junior Glass; on Tuesday eve
ming, was credtable performance Some few ora
tons were marked for their excellence of thought
style and delivery The exercises of the graduating
class indicated good degree of maturity aste talent
and sound learning The earnest attention OF so large
and audience so long time, was the best compliment
the young gentlemen can wish. Twenty-Five of the
young received the degree of A. B., and six that
of A. M. in course. The honorary degree of D. D.
was conferred on Rev. Ozas Chandler, of N. II.
The Freshman class is much larger than it has been
for some years. The chairs of instruction in this in
stltution are now all ably filed: its prospects have
never been better than at present.
Yours, He.

0}@We have but little respect for the unbounded
sympathy which some of politicians manifest, Just
before election, for the poor aborers who are like to
be oppressed by the operations of the new tariff law,
while they eulogse who buy and sell their fellow
beings, and drive them to unrequeted toll from the
cradle to the grave. No man is to be trusted, who
will disregard the rights of any man, black or white

OLD ADDISON. We had the pleasure of attending
the Addison Senatorial convention, holden at Middle
bury last week. A good feeling was manifested, and
an excellent ticket put in nomination. The attendance
was small, owing to the extremely busy season of the
year, but we trust ample amends will be made at the
ballot box

Friend Poland-The question is often asked, why

LIST. Because Slavery is legalized system of most
merclless and consummate niquy It sezes the child
of God; mars the divine image which had been i'm
pressed upon him-puts him among goods and chat
tells, and dsposes of him if he had been reduced tc
piece of property; it sets his "fe liberty and hap.
piness" at the feet of any creature who has hear
hard enough and purse long enough, to buy him.
I'd. Slavery can never be abolished except by the
same power that created ito wit: Legislutive-mor
al suasion alone being like faith without works, dead
Sd. Slavery always has and will find apologists ant
supporters in both the present political parties. There
fore political action is necessary, and the only means
to correct unjust and corrupt Legislation; dispacing
those in power, and supplying their places with mer
who will act for the good of ALL without regard to col
or or complexion.
4th. Slavery is tie common object of both politca
parties, flor purity purposes upon whose altar sociG
feelings and sectional ealouses to be laid Slavery
is their Idol and the rights of man are to be offered
up, when demanded, to extend and perpetuate sys
tenn which deprives of their lives, liberty and al
social and domestic happiness slavery more afro
cious than Turkish despotiSm. FLODORADO.

Mine is the little hand, puay and weak,
Ours are the thousand arms, mountains to break;
Mine is the atom of clay for the grave,
Oars is the earth, with hill, valley and wave;
Mine will evansh like corpse in the sod,
Ours will arise to the heaven of God!
Mine is the secret prayer, breathed low and lone,
Ours is the anthem Of conquering tone;
Mine is the little flower nartured in dearth,
Ours are the hIossOmIug Edens Of earth;
Nine will evanish like corpse ia the sod,
Ours will arise TO the heaven of God!
Mine is the brain that but CLEANS like spark,
Ours are the thoughts like lighting the dark;
Mine is the heart that heats fearlully hurl'd
Ours are the heart thrObs that gladden. the world;
Mine will evanish like corpse in the sod,
Ours will arise TO the heaven of God!
Mine is the hermit life, lone in its hours,
Ours are humanity's loves, thoughts and powers
Mine, scarcely mine, is this frame, doom'd to fall,
Ours is our God, common Parent of all
Mine will evanish like corpse in the sod,
Ours will arise TO the heaven of God

pletely through him. These letters also con.
firm the death of VIM. P. Alexander, another
of our volunteers, whose leg was amputated
after the battle. VIM. Kelly has had his left
leg amputated above the knee, and JOS Files
his left arm. They arc, with the rest of the
wounded, doing well, The following IS an
