MI. buchanan and Slavery.

This gentleman has. avaed himself of the
privilege of the wise man, who said, " Wise
men change their opinions. but fools never"
The following excerpt from the York (Pa.)
Republican will show the position which he
occupied in 1919 upon the extension OF Slavery
and upon the Missouri Compromise. Instead
of being an advocate Of that compromise lien,
he was its worst enemy. Instead Of being an
anti Wilmotproviso then, he was one of its
authors. But here is the excerpt: III"
At a large and respectable meeting of the
citizens Of Lancaster, held on the 23d Novem-
Der, 1879, in the Court House in that city, the
following resolutions reported by Committee
consisting of James Hopkins, William Jen-
kins and JAMES BUCHANAN, were unan.
imously adopted
Resolved, That the representatives in Con-
gress from this District be, and they are hereby
most earnestly requested TO use their utmost
endeavors as members OF the National Legis
lature, TO PREVENT THE EXISTENCE
OF SL.AVERY IN any Of the territories and
states ,chich may be erected by Congress.
Resolved, That in the opinion Of this meet:
ing the members Of Congress who at the last
session sustained The cause Of justice, humanity
and patriotism, IN opposing the introduction of
slauery into the state then enleGpored TO be formed
out Of the Missouri Territory, are entitled 10 the
,carnest thanks Of ere,y friend Of humanity.
A third resolution reported by the same com
miltee, and also unanimously adopted, recon-
mended TO the earnest consideration of the
Legislature Of Pennsylvania then about TO
commence its annual session, the proprety oil
instructing their representatives to ''use their
mOstzeaous and strenuous exertions TO prohibit
the eristence Of slavery IN any Of The territories
or states uhich may hereafter be created by Con.
greSs." s..2.
Now we do not blame Mr.. Buchanan for
changing his views upon this subject. We
only desire it TO be known, and we eau tell him
that if he had avowed this change of sentimen,
in his Berk's Letter, that letter would have
done him much more honor, would have
elected appreciation, at least, for his sincerity
We hope the Union will not fail 10 repubsh
the above extract in its next defence of the
Secretary Of State. .'... ...

Be Content with Little.

81 once knew a man who had thousands
and thousands, but the desire TO get more
hindered him from enjoying what he had ;
he was Disconnected and wretched, and if
ever he put up a prayer TO God, it was that
his riches might increase.
- knew a poor woman also, who had but
half a dollar a week in the whole world TO
live upon, and yet she was cheerful and hap
10 assist those in distress, and instead of
praying that God would add to her store, she
was even praising him for what He had so
graciously bestowed. She had many trials,

Dr.. Franklin on Spelling.

DR.. franklin says, in one Of his letters
"you need not be concerned, in writing TO
me, about bad spelling for, in my opinion,
what is called bad spelling is generally the
best, as conforming to the sound Of the let
ter. TO give you an instance, a gentleman
received a letter, in which were these words:
Not finding Brown at HON, l delivered my
MEssEG to his YF.' The gentleman called
his wife 10 help him read it. Between them
they picked out all but the YF, which they
could not understand. The lady proposed
calling her chambermaid, because Betty,
said she, has the best knack Of reading bad
spelling, of any one | know Betty came,
and was much surprised that neither of them
could tell what the VI was. Why said
she, YF spells wife; what else can it sPellP'
And indeed it is as much better, as well as
much shorter method than DouBLEYoU, 1, ?, E,
which, in reality spells doublewife."

Books for Children.

We commend the following extract TO the
attention Of those who have not reflected on
the great wickedness of permitting children
10 read all sorts of the outrageouslv incredi-
bic stories, found in the little books which
kind publishers have been wont 10 send forth,
for the especial benefit of reading juveniles.
''Titde breUis drs bngn eTperientid JdLor,*
is an old sentiment that should admonish us
to attempt better things for childhood, than
to fill, by means of a vile nursery literature,
its pure and confding mind with i'll looking
fancies and downright falsehoods. No work
OF questionable v~eracily or doubtful morals
should he found on the book shelf Of the nur-
sery. We doubt whether, in the character
of Robin Hood, or Little john there is any
more of the saint Cor little children than is
found in Paul Clifford for children of a lar
ger growth.
A knowledge of the earnest and real in life
is so important that it should not be neglect
ed for the imaginary and false.
The next summer my present was the
''Death and Burial of Cock Robin.r This
was from the dearly loved Mary too. ! could

pictures. | could read the tragic history
which was told in verse below the pictured
representations of the mournful drama. How

that little book. Could it be that all this
really took place; that the sparrow really
did do the murderous deed with his bow and
arrow | never knew before that birds had
such things. Then there was the fish with
his dish, the rock with his book, the owl
with his shovel, &c. Yet if it were not all
true why should it be so pictured and related

cry thing that was printed was surely true;
and as no one thought TO explain TO me the
nature Of a fable, | went on puzzled and Won

its red cover and gilded edges | have it now.

| had a similar present each successive
season so long as | regularly attended the
summer school. What marvels did they
contain! How curiosity and wonder feast
ed on their contents! They were mostly
about giants. fairies, witches, and ghosts.
BY this kind of reading, superstition was
trained up to a monstrous growth and as
courage could not thrive in its cold and gloo-
my shadow, it was a sickly shoot for years.

NIGHT.
BY ALICE GREY.

NJ AbASG
NIGHT on the mountain-the beautiful night!
The bright stars are beaming with silveIy
light;
And the pale crescent moon, sailing calmly
on high,
Looks down on the earth from her home in
the sky;
Oh the sunnies, day has no l~ovelier sight,
Than the tranquil repose Of the beautiful
night.
Night in the valley the tall forest trees
In whispers reply TO the voice OF the breeze;
The streamlet glides softly amidst its green
bowers;
The air is perfumed by the night-blooming
flowers
And the song Of the bulbul, the ~hre-hy's
light,
Proclaim through the valley, night, beautiful
night.
For soA-Er too soon-comes the loud bu-
sy day;
Slowly and sadly the stars fade ava
As II even they, in their glory, could grieve
A world Of such exquisite beauty to leave;
But with eve they'll return, and their pure
holy light
Long, long Stall illumine the beautiful night,

beautiful the children's faces!
Spite of all that mars and sears;
TO my inmost soul appealing
Calling forth loves tenderest feeling;
Sleeping all my soul with tears.
Eloquent the childreh's faces
Poverty's lean look, which saith,
Save US! ave us woe surrounds US;
Little knowledge sore confounds us
Life is but a lingering death.
Give us light amid our darkness;
Let us know the good from i'll;
Hate us not for all our blindness;
Love us, lead US, show us Kindness
You can make us what you will.

We would learn, if you would teach (;
We have hearts that yearn toward duty;
We have minds alive to beauty;
Souls that any heights can reach!
Raise us by your Christian knowledge;
Consecrate TO man cur powers;
Let us take our proper station;
We, the rising generation,
Let us stamp the age as ours
We shall be what you will make us -
Make us wise, and make us good ;
Make Us strong for time OF trial
Teach us temperance, self-denial,
Patience, kindness, fortitude!
Look into our childish fdces;
See ye not our willing hearis7
Only love us-only lead US;
Only let us know you need us,
And we all will do our parts.
We arc thousands-many thousands;
Every day our ranks increase;
Let us march beneath your banner,
We, the legion of true honor,
Combating for love and peace.
Train us! try us! days slide onward,
They can ne'er be ours again:
Save us, save from our nndoingi
Save from ignorance and ruin;
Make US worthy to be MEN!
Send us to our weeping mothers,
Angel-stamped in heart and brow!
We may be our fathers teachers;
We may be the mightiest preachers,
In the day that dawneth now!
Such the children's mute appealing,
All my Utmost soul was stirred
And my heart bowed down with sadness,
When cry, like summers gladness,
Said, the children's prayer is heard =

The Spring Flowers.

BY J. DE JEAN.
The Spring flowers are peeping
From hedge, cane, and brake;
Oh! God, what wild weeping
Those flowers would awake,
IF grief could be cherished
Mid famine and pain,
For the dear ones who persisted
BY the doomed who remain!
The kindly Spring weather
With balm once beguiled,
To the hedge-row together
The primrose and child
But the clay is now crushing
The child in the tomb
And the primrose is blushing!
But blushing for whom9
And the violet once lifted
Its blue eye 10 greet
Young eyes that were gifted
With azure as sweet;
But sealed in their lashes,
Past April's deep power,
Those blue eyes are ashes!
Why bloometh the flower!
For careless and %callous
As grey-bearded men,
OF the crows beechen palace,
Or moss hut Of the wren
OF the fair flowers waving
BY wayside and wood,
Shrunk children are craving
Food-nothing but food!
For mother-for father
No wall TO the sky!
The orphans must gather
Some garbage, or die!
The famine-liend blighted
The chaplets Of love,
And a ~vullure has lighted
Where nestled the dove.
oh !. command us not, Heaven,
For a future of bliss,
That the foes be forgiven
Who crushed us 10 this!
Though Angels were reckoning,
How could we forgive!
A day Of dark reckoning
Must come-if we live.
