FRIENDS JONES:
In last weeks Bugle I noticed two articles
evidently written by the same hand, one sign.
ed "a Temperance Man." the other, "a
Card" by John NJ. Webb, in both Of which
an effort is made to p~aralyze the effect of the
statement made by me in relation TO Isaac
Webb of the American House, Salem.
thought when ] wrote the article in rela-
ton to that matter, it was bnt simple act Of
justice to the anti-slavery public 10 inform
them Of the feelings that were entertained &C.
wards them at the American House.
1t appears that "a Temperance Man, vol

Permit me to ask you, "Temperance Man."
how you know that what ! said was SANDER
Were you present on that occasion Would
it not look more modest in you to throw in
some qualifying word like probably, or l
think, or l guess, or l hope it is a SANDER 3
You say my statement was undoubtedly in
tended TO %injure the American House. Would
1t not have been better to express Yourself
thus 1.-THE article no doubt was intended 10
prevent the outrage of the anii-slavery feel

a public house suffer from a knowledge that
'aboHfiOn stripHngs" were turned out!
You say had sought employment, in the
service Of the landlord (; but for reasons not
necessary TO enumerate, was not employed.
When a person resorts to any Thing so mean
as that, he may well conceal his name and
write fncog. never applied for employment
to Isaac Webb while he was landlord of the
American. Some two years and a half since,
Ills true, asked him if he needed any assist
ance in his store. The reason assigned me
was, that he had employed another, (Henry
S.one) and this was the whole of that mat
ter.

iorted and misrepresented in order to infict
an injary on one that / could not reach by

: it why did you not tell the public wherein it

Isaac Webb deny my statement or did he
deny it when he told Isaac Boone and others
that one Of those infdel aboliiionists was at
his house the day before, and that he pre,tv
soon gave him 10 understand that he was moi
TO be about there : or does John Webb denv
saying that Isaac Webb did turn me ont n,
as good as turned me out! Let him DENY i,
if he can. Would it not have looked more
honest in ]. NJ. Webb to have stated in his
Gard what Isaac Webb did say TO me. and
compare that with my statements J. NJ. w.

THOUGHT AND DEED.
BY C. b. KENNEDY.

BY C. b. KENNEDY.
Full many light thought man may cherish,
Full many an idle deed may do u;
Yet not deed or thought may perish,
Not one but he shall bless or rue.
When by the wind the tree is shaken,
There's not bough or leaf can fall,
But of its falling heed is taken,
By One who sees and governs all.
The tree may fall and be forgotten,
And buried in the earth remain;
Yet from its juices, rank or rotten,
Springs negotiating life again.
The world is with creation teeming,
And nothing ever wholly dies,
And things that arc destroyed in seeming,
In other shapes and forms arise.
And nature still unfolds the tissue
OF unseen work by spirit wrought
And not a work but has its issue,
With blessings or with evil fraught.
And thou may'st seem to leave behind thee
All memory of the sinful past
Yet oh, be sure thy sin shall find thee,
And thou shalt know its fruits at last.

minister hear how well they could read. The
good old man was much pleased with the
bright boy and his intelligent, moherly sister.
When their mother told him the story of the
eggs, he patted them on the head and said !:
"That's right, my children. You can't be too
fond of your books, They are the best friends
