Again. The American and Foreign Bible Society,
in its Report, supplies US with the following facts, il

And let it be remembered that this Baptist institution

their Free Missionary BRETHREN and SANDER their own

l. No less than southerners, known to be slave-
holders were elected members of the Board Of Man
ayers recently.
O. The receipts into the treasury, from May 1st,
1876, to April GOTH 847, from the slave holding states,
amount to 1888 65. And yet another fact stands
prominent on the face of that Report viz
g. The payment during the past year of $4796 SO to
the American Baptist Missionary Union, and its mis-
sionaries, which we have shown to be in connection
with shareholders.
Now, Sir, have simply glanced at few things that
might have been overlooked in connection with what
we had to say in very brief space in defence of
Free Missions and of the pro slavery character OF the
Union. We have few things to say with regard to
this correspondent and the closing part of that produce
ton which has occasioned these remarks.
With regard to being engaged in bad busness,we
have yet to learn that that Masters business is
bad business That labonng sincerely for millions,
overlooked by "Priest and Leve, and passed by on
the other side" Is it sinful waste of money" to

FREEDOM.

There 10 no true happiness without freedom This
is not merely assertion but truth that is clearly
proved by all laws, whether of matter or mind How
would the vast machinery of nature move were any Of
it's parts confined that its laws could not operate
freely? We have but to suppose this the CASE and the
earth, the sky and all surrounding objects lose at once
their beauty and This being true of matter is it
not equally so of mind? We need not 90 beyond our
own mental experience for proof all laws ofmnd have
then written upon them this seIfevident truth, that
freedom gives reality strength and energy to thought;
and that deprived Of this it osesits original strength
becomes weak and incapable of prompting to any noble
act Hence liberty has been and ever will be, almost
Godlike in its operations Our fathers reyered it not
too much, when they crossed the bIowy deep and on
far distant shore planted faith which they thought
breathed of liberty These United States priced not
too much when their fair fields were stfewn with the
many bleeding victims, who persisted in the Of
freedom and who amid the roar Of cannon and the
groans of the dying, could keep alive spirit which rose
PhHnx-like from the scene Of carnage and exclaimed

Pride and Fashion take heavy tolls ofthe purse
many man has become a beggar by paying
their gates-the ordinary rates they charge are
heavy, and the road, that way is none of the
best
Pleasure offers very smoth, delightful road
in the outset; she tempts the traveller with mauy
fair promises, and wins thousands-but she takes
without mercy like an artful robber, she alures
ill she gets her victim in her power, and then
strips him of health and money, and turns him
off, miserable object, into the worst and most
rugged road of life.
Intemperance plays the part of sturdy viii
lain. He's the very worst toll-gatherer on the
road for he not only gets from his customers
their money, and health, but he robs them of their
very brains. The men you meet in the road, rag
ged and ruined in fame and fortune, are his Wis
itors.
And so might go on enumerating many 9th.
ers who gather toll of the unwary. Accidents
sometimes happen, it is trne, along the road, but
those who do not get through at least toerably
WE'LL you may be sure to have been stopping by
the way at some ofhose places. The plain com
mon sense men, who travel straight forward, gel
through the Journey without much difficulty
This being the state ofthings, it becomes every
one in the outset, if he intends to make a com
Portable Journey, to take care what kind of com.
pany he keeps in with. We are all apt to do a
great deal as companions do-stop where they
stop and pay toll where they pay. Ten chances
to one, then but our choice in this particular de.
cides our fate.
Having paid due regard to choice of com
Panlons, the next important thing is, closely tc
observe how others manage; to mark the GOOD or
evil that is produced by every course of life-see
how those do who well manage and trace the
cause of its origin in conduct. There is no diff
fcuIty in working things, if you know how-by
those means you learn.
BE careful OF your habits These make the
man. And they require long and careful culture
ere they grow to a second nature. Good habit;
speak Of Bad ones are more easily acquired
they are the spontaneous weeds, that flourish
rapidly and rankly without care or culture.-!Star

latlon of knowledge, the farmer and the mechss
mic must be, or he has no right to expect suc+
cess. Living life Of industry, does not imply
a life of serVitude. To suppose this would be
as unjust as to imagine that life of action must
of necessity be life of misery Industry i'm

less essential than industry to the man who
would start right. 1t is not enough to earn
money; the proper mode of disposing of it should
be we'll considered. The great error of farmers,
land they are not alone in this maiter,) is a
prom ness to run into debt More men have been
ruined in the United States, by having such good
credits, than by any, or by all other causes
One half the articles that are now purchased on
credit, would never be purchased at ALL if the
cash down was demanded. When men puia
chase on credit, they are apt to consult their
Imagination or inclination; when they purchase
for cash. they consult utility and necessity; and
this alone will reduce the length and amount of
their bills amazingly. But the man who is
anxious to start and progress tight will be extrem-
ely cautious how he adopts or practices any sys-

him to cut off the fountains Of intelligence, and
dry up his sources Of knowledge. He knows
that Improvement is the order of the day; that
the age is one Of progress; and that he who does

the wind got the mastery and drove US on shore among

By this time there scarcely wind enough to fill
the sails. At dark we had five miles to go. A light
wind directly in our favor sprung ups and foated us

within few rods of the wharf, and had to wait until

The Bible says, Remember those that are in bonds,
as bound with them and them that suffer adversely as
being yourselves also in the body" This precept
teaches us to make the case of those in bondage our

for the liberation of the slave as we should pray for
our own freedom, were we in bondage. To get, at
least some faint realization of the feelings of the
slave, let suppose ourselves in his place, and dwell
upon the thought of our condition, till it shall

The TolEgale Of Life.

Weare all on ourjourney. The world through
which we are passing is in some respects like a
turnpiSe-all along which, Vice and Folly have
erected toll-gates for the accommodation of those
who choose to call as they go-and there are very
few of all the host of travellers, who do not occa-
sionally stop little at some one or another Of
them-and consequently pay more or less to the
toll-gatherers Pay more or less, | say, because
there is great variety, as well in the amount
as in the kind of toll exacted at these different

From The .Nc,c miscellany,
Willie BartOn'S Kite.
BY MRS. l.. C. TUTmLL.

That famous kite 1t was taller than the boy
who made it, Willie had spent all the time he
could spare ont of school, for four weeks, and
it was completed one bright Saturday afternoon
True, the eight sides of the kite were not ex-
actIy of equal length, but still it was an octagon
kite; in the centre was a surface of guilt pa
per- and in one corner moon face of silver
paper, and stars were scattered all over it, and
the boys declared it was perfect beauty.
Willie Barton was to fly the kite from the
green, or public square, and crowds of boys Of
all sizes were assembled to witness its glorious
ascent into the clear blue sky. There was line
enough to it, Willie believed, to carry it fairly
out Of sight
The hearts of the eager crowd beat high with
expectation, and several Of the larger boys press
ed forward to have the honor Of holding up the
magnificent kite
Tom Nixon, you may take hold of one cor
ner,' said Willie Barton, 'and you, Bob Skate,
may hold the other
The chosen two, proud of the distinction
thus conferred, stepped forward, and Stood as
supporters on each side Of the beautiful kite,
like the lion and the unicorn on the British coat
of arms.
Just rs Willie had unwound his line, and was
about to run with the kite, Tom Nixon excaim-
ed
Stop stop there is no tail to the kite
Never mind that, replied Willie Barton Il
choose not to have my kite like every other boys
kite. Come now, there is first rate wind =

" lille ran full speed.
The kite houndered about, tapped over, and
then fell to the ground Tom Nixon booted and
shouted ont, 4 told you so Who ever heard
of a kite without tail ?
1T was your fault Tom; you did not hold ii
right Sam Horton, take hold there with Bob
Skate, said Willie.
The two boys held up the kite; Willie again
gave the command, Let 60 and ran forward.
Over and over whired the kite, and then
down it tumbled again. As well might Aatfsh
have attempted to fly.
The boys now all laughed, and shouted 'Hur-
rah for the kite without tail
Poor Willie Barton Nobody had ever told
him why tail was needed to kite, and tho't
it was only for ornament He had never rea:
soned about it ALL If he had, he might have
known that the tail keeps one end Of kite

Our fra dust to dust returning,
Soon shall mingle with the mould
But the soal its letters spurning
Wins and wears crown of gold"
"Earh to earth and "dust to dust' is legl-
bly, written upon all beneath the sky. There is
nothing abiding-alli is Aeeting and like the cur
rent of a swiftly-rolling river-"passng away"
Where are our early companions with whom we
spent the sunny morning of life? Alas they
have fled from this stage Of being, and gone down
to the silent slumbers of the tomb! The seasons
are changing, nature is fading, and eve all do
fade as leaf"
"The busy tribes of flesh and blood
With all their cares and fears,
Are carried downward by the food,
And lost in following years"
But to the Christian there is something sweet
and consoling in the reflection, "this corM isnot
my hOme." The portals of glory already shed
their bright rays upon our pathway to the skies
and as we approach still nearer that land of light
and bessedness, we receive the bright illumna-
ton of that day which is never succeeded by
night We look quite through and beyond the
night of the grave. We dread not the mattock
nor the spade, the coffin nor the tomb. Blessed
be God, there is rest to the weary, a home for
the faithful, ga reward for the righteous" This
is immortality. See the streaks of light that
presage already the morning that will soon blend
with the perfect day of heaven. Yes,
"Soon upon the hills of glory
Shall our ranson'd spirits stand;
Listen to salvation's story,
Chanted by the seraph band"

For the GresA Mountain freeman.
We all are FaiI.

We all are FmiI.
We all are frail, each one and all
Who dwell on this terrestrial ball,
Each have their faults, their weaknesses,
All stand in need of charities
Man, dost thou see thy brother err,
And does he do thee giant wrong?
Let charity, the conqueror,
In meekness bind the, true and strong.
More blessed far than to receive
Forgive, It's noble, good and just;
Forgiving let us learn to live
And write our wrongs all in the dust.
For we, too, blindIy tread our way,
And deviatingy we 90;
While fancy's fash and reasons ray
Land but transient, meteor glow.
The world is wide enough, and good,
Then let us give our fellows due;
A universal brotherhood
Will kindly help each other through
Were we rot born for purposes
Exalted, holy and most high?
Then let us all our faults confess
And live as we would wish to die
If thou hast genius boast it not,
But strive to make it brighter shine;
Yet all It's glores Cannot blot
The weaknesses which still are thine.
If thou hast goodness keep it still,
With kindness let thy heart o'er-fow;
Have sympathy for human ILL,
0, drop tear for human woe.
And hast thou greatness mind and heart
Both acting in their higher sphere,
If thou wouldst nobly act thy part
Let charity her temple rear.
If thou art wrong confess it now,
If thou art wrongd 0 meekly bow;
Have charity tor weaknesses;
Blessing myself so shalt thou bless.

Few, save the poor, feel for the poor;
The rich know not how hard
1t is to be of food denied
t' And needful rest debarred.
Their paths are paths Of plenteousness,
They sleep on silks and down;
Ana never think how YEARLY
The weary head lies down,
They know not of the scanty meal,
With small, pale faces round;
No fire upon the cold, damp hearth,
When snow is on the ground.
They never by the window lean,
And see the gay pass by;
Then take their weary task again,
But with sadder eye.
