IL is hoped that our old friend who has here
tofore wafded off all our arguments gainst slav-
cry with his agricultural wand, will pause and
reflect a little upon this result. He must see,
that II the slave States are not engaged as ex-
tensively in manufactures and commerce as the
free States, |, is not because they are more de-
voted 10 agriculture than the free States. We
have seen the vast superiority Of the seven free
States over the six slave States In regard to
manufactures and commerce. We have even
found that the manufactures and commerce of
the one fee State Of New York are vastly great
er than those Of the whole six slave States. And
The grand-the omnipotsnt argument that we
hear constantly urged, in explanation, and In
justification Of this astonishing contrast is, that
the slaveStatss are devoted to agriculture. Does
the result at which we have arrived, Justify this
inference. True, they are engaged almost ex-
clusivsly In agriculture, bat II there be any

Of the Working men.

Itis not without good reason that the la
boring man exclaims, even in this country,
how hard and hopeless is my lot! Day by
day, ave, night and day, year after year,
dol toll on, never stopping for even an hour
Of recreation; and | obtain-what? A
bare. perhaps miserable subsistence for
myself and family Such lotis any thing
but enviabIe. But when we look at their
condition, and observe the system on which
laborers work, we cannot marvel that they
are no better situated; for our system OF Ia
Dor is antagonistical to the proper dlstrlDu-
tion of earnings; one has the fatness OF the
feast produced by labor, the ten must con,
tent themselves with the crumbs that iail
from the table. That labor should be bet
ter recompensed, and receive greater en-
corra cement in other words, that the pro-
eeeds of labor should be more equally dis
tributed than they now are, is admitted by
every one whose soul is not encased with
ill-gotten gold. And yet, we take but few
steps to bring about the much desired re-
suit We work to the contrary effect rather;
for instead of combining together as labo-
rers, for the purpose Of obtaining suprema-
cy over capital, we run opposition to, and
underbid each other in the labor market
thus making ourselves more and more
slaves to that which should be servant 10
us and its possessors take advantage OF
our anita gonism, and heap for themselves
higher piles, which give them lncrcase"

The Slaves Dream.
BY LoNGFELLoW.


Beside the ungathered rice he lay
His sickle his hands,
His breast was bare, his mattet; hair
Was buried in the sand,
Again, in the mist and shadow of sleep,
He saw his Native Land.
Wide through the landscape of his dreams
The lordly Niger flowed;
Beneath the palm-treeslo lon the plain
Once more he strobe;
And heard thestinking caravans
asseJ geseazi the aaonsstaia fosd, ssz-.5..s.s5

He saw once more his dark-eyed.qucen =
Among her children stand,
They clasped his neck, they kissed his checks
They held him by the hand!- -
A tear burst from the sleeper's lids
and fell into the sand. st.f
And then at furious speed he rode
Along the Niger's bank;
His bride reins were golden chains,
And, with martial clank,
AT each leap he could feel his sscabbard Of steel
Smiling his stallion's flank.
Before him, like a blood-red fag,
The bright faminsoes flew; .....
From morn till night he followed their flight,
Ger plains where the tamarind grew,
Till he saw the roofs of Caffre huts,
And the ocean rose to view
At night he heard the lion roar,
And the hyena scream,
And the river horse as he crushed the reeds
Beside some hidden stream,
And it passed like glorious roll of drums,
Through the triumph OF his dream.
The forests, with their myriad tongues,
Shouted of liberty;
And the Blcst of the Desert cried aloud,
With a voice so wild and free,
That he started in his sleep and smiled
At their tempestuous glee
He did not feel the drivers whip,
Nor the burning heat of day;
For Death had illumincd the Land of Sleep,
And his lifeless body lay
A worn out fettcr, that the soul
Had broken and thrown away.

A COURT SCENE. There is point beyond
which human torbearance cannot go, aud the
most even of tempers will become ruff1ed at
tunes. At the Asszes held during the past year
at Lincoln in England, both Judge aAd counsel
had much trouble to make the timid witnesses
upon trial speak sufficiently loud to be heard
by the jury, aud it is possible that the temper of
the counsel may thereby have been turned aside
from the even tenor OF its way, and the more
likely perhaps owing to his feeling himself to be
man of considerable Importance since he had
married dowager Duchess. After this gentle
man had gone through the various stages OF bar
pleading, and had coaxed, threatened, and even
bullied witnesses, there was one called into the
box, young ostler, who appeared to be simpic-
ity personifed.
'NOw, sir" said the above named counsel, in
tone which at any other time would have been
denounced as vulgarly loud, "I hope we shall
have no difficulty in making you speak up"
''l hope not, sir" was shouted or rather bel
lowed out by the Witness in tones which almost
shook the building, and would have certainly
alarmed any timid nervous lady.
'How dare you speak in that way sir p said
the counsel.
"Please, zur, l can't speak no louder, zur,"
said the astonished witness, attempting to shout
louder than before, evidently thinking the fault
TO be his speaking too low.
"Pray, have you been drinking this morning"
shouted the counsel, who had now thoroughly
lost the last remnant of his temper.
'sYes zur," was the reply.
"And what have you been drinking Z"
''Coffee, zur."
"And what did you have IN your coffee, sir :"
shouted the exasperated counsel.
GA spune, zur,' was the answer, innocenty
spoken, amid the roars OF the whole Court, ex-
cepting only the now thoroughly wild counsel.
