cannot believe that the earth is mans abiding
place. 1t cannot be that our life is cast upon the
ocean of eternity to float a moment upon its waves
and sink into nothingness Else why is that the
pirations which leap like angels, from the temple
of hearts, forever wandering about unsatis-
fed? Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come
over with beauty that is not of this EARTH and
then pass off and leave us to muse upon their faded
loveness? Why is it that the stars who hold their
festival around the midnight throne set above the
grasp of our limited faculties forever hooking us with
their mapproachable glory?-And finally, why is it
that bright forms of human beauty are presented to
our view, and then taken from us, leaving the thou
sand streams ofour affections to flow back in Alpine
torrents upon our hearts? We are born for higher
destiny than that of earth there realm where the
rainbows never fade where the stars will be out be-

Slavery.

The poor slave long has sweat in vain,
His masters interest to gain,
In fields of sugar cane and rice,
He's pinned away his servile life,
Shall we who live on freedoms fields,
Partake the fruits oppression yields?
Its victims sink beneath the wave,
Which rises high DER freedoms grave.
We sit by this cool shady tree,
Where we have said all shall be free;
While slaves are toiling in the heat,
Their masters cursed aims tomeet
Mothers and children part you must,
To crafty their iendsh lust;
Gods emblem, All, it must be sold
That they may have the shining gold.
Why will you sell the flesh and blood,
Made in the image of your God
Your brother calls you from the grave,
No more to trample on the slave.
Shake off your Incidence and pride,
Open the door of Justice wide;
No more insult the God who gave,
His equal rights to every slave.
Will you his precepts still reject?
Who said "no cooar respect,
made all nations of one blood,
All children of one Father God"
Your fields become barren waste,
Where hounds your timid victims chase;
The sweat and toll wrung from the slave,
Will plant the thorn on freedoms grave.

LITTLE KINDNEssEs.-Sm0ll acts ofkindness how
pleasant and desirable do they make life. Every dark
object is made light by them, and every tear OF sorrow
is brushed away. When the heart is sad and despon-'
dency sits at the entrance ofthe SOUL rfng kindness
drives despair away and makes the path OF life cheer
fu and pleasant Who will refuse kind act? 1t
costs the giver nothing but is invaluable to the sad
and sorrowing. 1t raises from misery and degrade
ton and throws around the soul those hallowed joys,
that were lost in paradise.

Poetry.


For The Green Mountain Freeman
Success to the friend of the slave,
Cheer him on
In the cause that lies nearest his heart;
And ever, Oh ever,
Both now and forever,
Let us bear of his burdens part;
A part,
Let us bear of his burdens part.
Remember the poor and oppressed,
Comfort him
With the hope of the gospel of peace;
Remembering still,
Through good and through i'll,
To bear of his burdens part;
A part,
To bear of his burdens part.
And when the poor bondman is freed
From his thrall
From the mildewing, whitening curse,
We all shall rejoice,
With heart and with voice,
That we've borne of his burdens part
A part,
That we've borne of his burdens a part.
For when that bright day shall appear
From afar;
And man be redeemed from the mart
Aloud we will sing
Till the wide earth shall ring;
We shall bear ofthe glory part;
A part,
We shall bear of the glory part

BLOODY SwEAT.-A correspondent of the Boston
Recorder, in commenting upon that passage in the
New Testament where it is said of Saviour, that
be sweat, it were, great drops of blood, falling
to the ground" gives the following instances from
history of similar effect produced by excessive an
guish fear:
Mezeray, the historian, thus describes the death
of the base Charles k of France - Nature exhibit
ted strange freaks during the two last weeks of this
monarch's existence. From inward excitement of
mind soul, his body frightfully agitated; so
much so that blood gushed from the pores of his flesh
At last in the extreme weakness occasioned by those
agtatons, he yielded his SOUL He also relates that
the governor OF town, being sentenced to death,
behoding for the first time the gaows, experienced
an agitation which produced profuse sweating of
blood. Lombard mentions general who experienced
the from chagrin elected from losing a battle
He tells OF a nun, the most beautiful of the age,
whose terror was great on falling into the power
of banditti, that it caused blood to from every
pore. lecture delivered before the Society of Arts
at Haraam, in Europe, speaks of a person being
Frustrated on the deck of a ship by storm, who,
when raised, was found streaming with blood from
the surface. He was not wounded, but the phenome-
non had been occasioned by excitement Of mind. In
the same lecture, widow is mentioned who fancied
that she saw the appartion of her son, duplicating
her to release his soul from pnrgatory by prayer and
fasting every Friday. On the ensuing Friday, while
under extreme excitatlon of mind, bloody perspira
ton covered her body. The same occurred every
subsequent Friday, until she thought her task accom-
plished after which, her mind returned to its usual
state, the bloody sweat ceased.'

PRESERVED FISH, Eso.-The New York Sun has
the following interesting account of the life of this
distinguished citizen of New York:
"The death of Preserved Fish, Esq, announced in
our columns yesterday, was not unexpected, as that
esteemed citizen had arrived at age (Sl years.
beyond that allotted to most men, and which could
only be attained by temperate and virtuous life.
Death has in this instance robbed New York of one
of her greatest benefactors man who raised himself
from poor sailor boy to the head of the large Mer
camille house of Fish, Grinnel g. Co., (now Grinne
Minturn g. Co.. the founders of splendid lines of
fast sailing packet ships. He a citizen of excm-
pary department, and firm friend to the poor. His
romantic is said to have originated in his being
found near Sandy Hook, floating in basket when
infant. The Captain of New York and Liver
pool ship picked up the bright little infant boy, named
him Preserved Fish, and adopted and educated him.
His parents were supposed to be lost by shipwreck
He was an obedient and faithful son his new father
and on arriving at the age of 81, he was made first
officer of ship and soon after became Captain and
joint proprietor. He next founded the house of Fish,
Grinnell g. Co., was subsequently elected an Alder
man, then President of the Tradesman's Bank, and
had various other honors conferred upon him by his
fellow citizens. He leaves only one heir, an adopted
son. Unlike most of our successful business men, ne
satisfied with fortune of fifty thousand dollars
with which he retired number Of years ago, leaving
to his Junior partners and clerks the the
business which he and the late Mr. Grinnell of New
Bedford had established. The increase of the value
of his investments has increased the value of his
estate, which is now estimated at one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.

0E5-We take the following very just remarks from
a correspondent of the Charleston Mercury
Notwithstanding, the Wings the petition of
Messrs. Gales & Seaton ID changed the law to give
their favorItes profit of 20 per cent the print
ing, the 18th Congress- Democratic House-passed
a resolution providing that their printers should re-
ceivc 20 per cent less for the public printing than the
prices of 1919, the same passed by the Wings at
the beginning and changed by them at the end Of the
9th Congress Under this resolution Messrs. Blair
81 Rives elected printers to the House, and per-
formed the work for twenty per cent. less than the
Wings had in the previous Congress paid 10 Messrs.
Gales g. SeatOn. And MeSsrs. Richie g. HESS took
the printing of Congress at the beginning of the pre-
sent Session the terms-that Is twenty per
cent reduction from the prices of 1919, and had no
change been made in the law, they would have re-
ceived twenty per cent less than the prices paid by
the 9th Congress to their printers, and TO pay which
they revoked their own acts.
The GROWING injustice then of the resolution pass
ed by the House few days ago to reduce prices, and
voted for and passed by the Wing MEMBERS is that
it still further reduces the prices of public printing
beyond the twenty per cent from the prices of 1870
and il makes this further reduction take effect all
the work done since the of the session.
1t makes an additional reduction Of thirteen and
third per cent 33t per cent. reduction from the
prices of lSl9-on all printing of documents of which
more than 5000 copies are ordered be printed be-
sides making various other deductions from what has
been usually paid to the public printer.

The Providence Journal, strong Tariff paper,
denounces the project of duty tea and coffee.
If we were high protectionists, should probably
do so too since it is obvious that whatever revenue
is raised upon articles not competing with domestic
manufactures, leaves much less to be assessed
upon those which do compete. But consumers who
prefer to pay the duty only once over, instead of
paying it once to the government, and once twice, or
thrice to the manufacturers, will, or ought TO- view
the matter differently. Of Commerce.
