How beautiful and soul stirring is the deep and SOL
emn hush Of midnight! Day Sinks sweetly and soft
ly, into sacred Stiffness Look back to summers
evening when each breeze, laden with rich fragrance
of fruit and flowers seems to come fresh from southern
chimes and picture new its calm brightness The sun
has finished his and carried his retinue Of gol
den clouds below the western horizon, though now and
then we see one of transparent clearness floating
along the sky as though 10th to leave the place where
so much stiffness reigns We gaze till they disappear
In the darkness, and then, ere aware, the sky
is brilliant with thousand stars, bright sentnels APP
pointed to guard the sumberng earth. Sound after
sound dies away, until naught is heard save the gurg-
ling of some little brook or the sound of the wind
playing through the trees. Even the soft melody OF
the birds, which seems to be waited to the skies on
the gentle breeze, is hushed. We listen for sound
to break the repose, until we are lost in wonder and
astonishment and our hearts nsensiby ascend to the
great Giyer Of all things in thanksgiving and praise
Well might the psamist love those holy hours fit for
deep and sacred medtation; well might he pour forth
his sweet songs alone with his Maker, and receive
it were sent-yet deep and heartfelt blessing. The
mind unconsciousy frees itself from its earthly fetters
and soaring aloit in thought, seeks to comprehend
something of the deep wisdom, skill and designs of the
Eternal, to recall the past and look forward to the flu
ture. Can it be said that night has no charms? When
she draws her sable curtain the earth, look FORTH
and mediate. Enjoy this holy influence, the tendency
of which is to make us more holy-to make us better
Christians.
Its stiffness also may teach us useful lesson. 1t
will teach man that though he may raise high his com
handing voice, and may deck his stately form with
the gorgeous Jewels of earth, though he may stand
high in glory, and degrade and debase his elowmen
still time of silence must come. The night of the
grave will overtaHe him and he must lie down in still
ness, till the last trump shall sound bidding all nations
appear in Judgment Then let us love this holy hour
and allow its soothing influence to peUade our hearts
and soften them, and make them fit for the tran
guilty Of that grave to which we are all hasening.-

Paticnce. peMcyeraHac. ElOpe,

Those who are engaged in the great work Of abol-
lshng slavery have peculiar need OF cultNatlng those
virtues. They will need patience with respect 10 each
other There will sometimes be difference Of views
and modes of action; some will be in error and 9TH
ers will be thought to be so but while sincerely la
boring for the same end, aboitonsts must have pa
thence with each others errors olbIes and mistakes
They will need patience towards "talse brethren"
With such, every good cause has been afflicted, even
christianity did not escape, nor will the anti-savery
cause Heartless pretenders will sometimes enlist in
it but to abandon it the moment they feel lis pressure
then whine and grumble, and blame those who have
more integrity than themselves. We shall also need
patience with the equyocalthe undecided, who know
the right, but are slow to pursue it. With open OPP
posers, the abusive, the unpnciped, the bitter, pa
tence too, will be sorely taxed, 10 see so good a
cause thus outraged, is truly painful anduyng. There
is also another class who otenty the patience OF their
brethren very heavily. Real friends, sometimes will
be unimthfM Nothing Is more affective, and others
liable thereby to become provoked, and do nothing
because their protested friends will not do their duty.
They will shirl the taboy and mOneygUing upon 9TH
ers. They intend to ride in the abolition cars, but
will do nothing to create the power that propels them.
True, their example is dISheartenng, but there must
be patience We know town where one ortwo men,
by varied and generous efforts carried the cause up to
about so Liberty votes; but as others would not do
their duty they become impatient, and last year dld
nothing This is not right. Our ability, not the con-
duct of others, is the measure of our obligation. 1t
unfaithuness to the slave and afforded far less
satisfaction to those who have been faithful than their
former efforts did While the faults ondsm Of others
should be reproved, their example must not be imita
ted. A ow-ycry few-men do about all the good
there is done in society all subjects Freedom to
the slave will be no less sweet, nor the reward of
achieving it less gratifying, because it was the work
OF few in its early stages.
Labor on then, friends ofthe poor with unwavering
fidelity and hope Never have but one question re-
speeding the cause and let that be, "llow can do
most for its promotion" Not well directed effort is
lost. Our labor has been most abundanty crowned;
our success thus far cheering indeed, especially when
we consider the strength of the opposition. How came
we by those %, 80, 49, SO, IS, 100, and moro liberty
votes in the several towns? They are the demonstra-
ton of past success, and pledge of future triumph

Young Females,

The increasing privileges which an illumination has
conferred on our sex, exceedingly heighten our re-
sPonsibilities. Formerly to be "faithfu over few
things" all that their limited sphere required! now
they are both qualified and expected to be made ru-
lers over many things" The treasures of their own
minds are revealed to them, and they are summoned
forth as laborers in the wide fields of benevolence-
The temple of science is longer inaccessible to the
foot of woman. From its pavilion whence with Mos
lem jealousy she was for ages excluded, voice ad-
dresses her. "enter and live" Ofreasures which had
been from ancient times accumulating, yet strictly
sealed from her eye she is invited to partake 1t re-
mains to be proved in what manner this invitation will
be receved--this admission valued. Will she oiter
at the Threshold of this magnificent temple? Win
she herself in its courts by gathering its brief
flowers that spring up where there is deepness of
earth? Will she just enter the gate, and proclaim
with the shrilness of vanity, her initiation? her
own proficiency in the mysteries of knowledge? Or
will she press to the nnermost shrine among those
true-hearted md meek-souled worshppers, "whose
candle goeth not out by night?

Oh! give me my homc could love it again,
Its Joys and its sorrows, its pleasure and pain
1t was dear to my bosom as earth's brightest tie,
The sunbeam of happiness shed from on high;
Twas there that the hours of my infancy passed.
The spring-time of joyousness, fleeing and fast
had dreams of the future so lovely and pure,
No dark clouds of sorrow my path to obscure;
But fled are my vsions,-ah fled and for ever,
The home ofmy father, meier shall see-never
To that sweet little cot my memory oft wanders,
And on days Of past joy my heart fondy ponders
have gaz'd on fair scenes on distant shore,
Where natures soft beauties sweet aspect wore
The trees and the flowers of that luxuriant land,
Seemd planted and nourished by fancy's bright hand
But still in my rambes, whcre'er did roam,
My heart beat with rapture at the dear name o
home R. REBUs.

TIL E FIRE L MAN.

What do our learned Theologians mean by the rela-
hon Of SlaUehotding? Is it an entity, a nonentty
Does 1t depend upon the voluntary act ofthe sIavehol
der or upon some extra cause over which he can
have no control? | will suppose that Dutch ship
brings into Virginia one hundred men, which are sold
to the planters and compelled to work their planta
tons without any contract Or reward There is no
law in the State respecting saveholding; but there
masters and slaves. There must then be some re-
aton between them. Is this the relation about which
so much has been said, and which we are told is so
harmless, that the Bible even sanctions it? Well
then, what is this relation? Is it natural or an I'M
natural one? Is it founded in benevoence or selfish
ness Is it produced by the mutual act of the parties
for their mutual benefit? Does not every man see
straint and violence? Brute force combined with
fraud, is the efficient agency BY which human being
aneghbor brother is robbed of himself, stripped of
his inalienabe rights, and brough into such relation
to his MASTER that he may hold and treat him in all
respects as his property! Is this the harmless rea-
ton which the Biole sanctions and which certain
class of ministers seem very willing should be toera-
ted in the church of God? Truth never shuns the
light and | wish to know what those men, who tell
us much about the innocent relation which masters
sustain to their slaves do really mean | have stated
as simple case as | can think of, and grounded on
historical facts and wish to know whether this is the
very thing which has ofate found so much favor among
a portion of the clergy. viii some wise man among
them tell us? If this is not the thing, will not some
of those who know have the kindness tell us plainly
what they do mcan,-what is the relation between
STAKEHOLDER and slave, which the Bibesanctons Such
wise men, and great men, and learned divinos, must
have searched into this wonderful relation and can
tell us all about it. And will they not conGescend to
shed little of their light upon their weaker brethren
wish for light ask for light on this subject; and
think the public will have right to conclude that
have presented the real relation between master and
slave, which class of churchmen mean to Justify if
we are not better informed. In such case, it will
be fair to infer that silence gives consent
