From the Fall Rirer Weeklg .Ne,cs.
Charles I. TOrrey.
BY MRS. MARY A. LIvERMORE.


"The Rev. c. 7. Torrey, imprisoned about year
and half since in Baltimore, for the crime of adduct
ing slaves, is suffering under consumption He is al
lowed tosee one, although almost any one can see
him by looking through the bars of his prison. He
will undoubtedly die there"
Dying in that sunless prison, In that lone and grated
CELL
Where engrtby walls of darkness night forever seems
to dwell
Dying in that fearful loneness all unsoothed his hours
ofpan,
And of all the friends he numbereth none his fntng
head sustains
Dying! yet the wife who loves him. may not cheer him
with her care,
Nor fulfil her of wehood, half his weary lot to
Dying in the clasp of etters not within the arms of
love-
Dying prisoner in the slave land, not New Englands
sky above
Slowly creep the ghost-like moments of his cell be-
clouded day,
And the hours of breathess darkness, eaden-footed
pass away;
Der his pulse topper steaeth, pallor broodeth on his
face,
And the angel death approacheth in slow and SOL
emn pace.
Not with crime hissoul is darkened, guilt stained
that shackled hand,
Nor for ought that Con condemneth, doth he bear the
felons brand:
Rnt for acts of love and pity deeds for Freedom and
for Right;
For 'God-speed' to the bondman, flying from oppres-
sion's might;
For obedience to the prccept which shall bind man
kind in one
do whatever unto others, thou woudsunto thee have
done;
For beholdng in the chattel the bright image of his
God
Though defaced, and married, and blighted, and by
Slaverys heel out-trod
For asserting to the doctrine not in word but every
deed,
That 'all are free and equal as the Nation saith
IN creed;
For belief that ties raternal bind in one the race of
man :
IT'S for this he bears the fetter and the shackes Grim
son SPAN
But his hour of freedom cometh, when his thradom
will be done,
When his mission will be ended and his martyr crown
be won;
For the Lord will send his angel as he did in days of
yore,
To unloose the frettng eter, and unlock the prison
door.
Guard him as we will ye keepers, not the thunder of
your gun,
Nor your sword of ft cleaning can forbid the deed
be done:
Though undrawn the bolts of iron, though cemented
close the wall,
Death will free the tortured spirit from the PRISONS bit
ter thral
Ye may spurn the prayers of eemen, as they for their
brother Plead
Ye may turn in naughty scorning, when wife doth
intercede;
But the writ of manumssion signed by DEATH in dread
array,
That will brook cold denial that ye cannot but obey

HYMN FOR THE BRAVE.


ArR-"Peace Troubled Soul"
Peace 10 the brave--in battle slain
Nor common tears for those be shed,
Who by their gallant daring gain
Enrolment, with the glorious dead.
But sound the mournful bugle, and the shroudet
flag display
For those who nobly persisted on the heights o
Monterey.
Call them the noble of the land,
Who fearless 'gainst its foemen stoop,
And with victorious sword in hand,
Have sealed their triumph with their blood
And sound the mournful bugle, etc.
Chaunt not their names! all, all are known
Each fond regletfu heart can tell,
Without the aid of cross or stone,
The time, the scene, and how they fell
But sound the mournful bugle, etc.
And memory there, its ward shall keep,
By many distant lonely grave,
Where each bold warrior sleeps the SLEEP
The God of battles gives the brave.
Then sound the mournful bugle, etc.

FMANcIERING MISSISSIPPI FAsHIoN-The A d.
ministration (says the New York ExPress)
calls for 1000 more volunteers, notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Marcy's letter to some gentleman in
Delaware, that no more volunteers would be
wanted!
The .fus million loan is obtained, and hence
the apparent change of purpose. To induce
capitalists to make the loan at par, it was ne
cessary to give out that the Mexican war was
about ended; at least that no more volunteers
were wanted.
But when the loan was clinched, then comes
the call for more volunteers! Capitalists are
thus tricked out of their cash, and when they
put their loan upon the market, it will go
hard, for there is no knowing how much mon
ey will be wanted to carry on the war fur
ther, and to pay for more volunteers.
Now this tricky financiering is not wise. 1t
does not end in sustaining OF lettering the
condition of the treasury. Frankness, strai ght-
forwardness and truth are as necessary in mon
ey, as in other matters. What can capitalists
think of government pledges, or government
sssurances!-Col Observer.

The CHoLERA.-A London correspondent OF
the New York Journal of Commerce says that
this dreadful scourge is silently but surely ap-
preaching Europe-that in Persia and British
India it has struck down prince and peasant,
and that it is now lowering over the confines
of Russia and Turkey. Should it reach Eu-
rope it is much feared that it will wing its way
over the Atlantic and prove, as formerly an
awful messenger of death.

A WISE FgATHER.-One Of our exchanges
tells story of an editor out west, who wished
to marry blue eyed damsel in his neighbOr-
hood, and like an honest man asked the con-
sent of her father. OF course the old MAJ, as
every prudent papa should do, inquired how
much money he could bring the bride. The
editor said he hadn't got any money, but he
could give her P'sg ia his paper. The father
was satisfied.

IMPORTANT ARREST. The Cleveland

Capt. J. w Pollock. He was secured at
Berea, week ago, by officers McKinstry,
Beebe and Hamilton.
He was arrested last fall in Wheeling,
and the plates of the counterfeits on the
Planters, Bank of Tennessee obtained, but
managed to get discharged. Since then
he has been lodging officers, until the
vigilant M;Kinstry and his associates
secured him.
On Wednesday morning he was deliv.
cred over to officer Thomas P. ShallcrosS,
of Wheeling, on a requisition for Pollock
from the Governor of Alabama, who imme-
diatcIv started south with the prisoner
Pollock is charged with forgery, and pass

reputation bellies him, his extensive and
adroit currency tinkering entities him, says
the Herald, to at least a cashiership under
the equally notorious Jim Brom.
