SALEM. OHIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 80, 1913.

we are all lost, save yourself, and let us 90.
But the husband and father gazed around
him, and felt he could not give them up. He
looked abroad for help, but there was none.
The hofsemen appeared in sight-escape was
impossible! Then the wife knelt, and pray
ed him to save himself-She would 90 back
TO bondage, happy to know that he was safe.
They knelt them down in a thicket Of BUSH
es, and he prayed a last prayer over his loved
ones. Their pursuers came up-le kissed
and clasped his wife and children, and then
plunged into the swamp, beyond the reach Of
his pursuers. They carried back his wife
and children-and he heard the crack of the
whip, as it fell upon the back of his wife
but she uttered no word of agony. And so
he travelled on his way again broken-hearted,
yet with a determination 10 try again, or die.
Life, he says, is misery to him now, and he
longs for the s%evering Of its letters. He is
now in Canada, awaiting the time when he
may 70 forth again for his treasures. May
that time soon come, when the broken heart
shall be healed, aud the chained mother be
free, and the children roam beneath a sky
which looks upon no bondage, and smiles up
on no enslayed.

From the EmancipatOr.
The Fugitive.

| wish to tell your readers an "ower true
tale," about a runaway slave-the facts in the
case OF which came under my personal obser-
walton -
am a western woman, and lived once in
the goodly city of Chicago, Illinois. We are
the right kind of abolitionists there, and the
anti-slavery folks have a good underground
raiArOad,' over which they transport slaves,
steering for the North, and help them, besides,
TO clothes and other articles which may be
needed. Now, over this same railway, a
slave CHANGED to travel, whose name was
'Charley.' He was a fine, athletic-looking
creature, and his brow wore the stamp of the
Divine image, Notwithstanding it was black
as ebony.
Well, Charley ran away because his ma
ture was too noble 10 bear the ~inGignities
which unmerciful masters heap upon their
brutes and then the flame of Freedom .UouH
burn wildly in his breast, Notwithstanding he
was taught that chains and letters and the
lash belonged to the African. Then he had
a wife, and three little ones, whom he loved
dearly, and he longed 10 tread a shore where
they might breathe an atmosphere unpolluled
by the signs of heart-crushed slaves. So,
Charley ran away, and thought to make OBJ
servations of the road, over which the North
star hangs, with its blaze of free and blessed
light, and then return after his family. He
reached our good city, (Chicago,) and we
heard his tale of suffering, and his deternin-
ed, heroic decision to return, after a while,
for his family. He was sent on to Canada,
and remained there six months, during which
time, he had been laboring hard, 10 save a
SUN, to further projected plans which he had
in contemplation. In the mean time, the
master had offered a large sum to any one
who would find Charley, and bring him back
in safety. Many 'bloodhounds,' in the shape
of men, were abroad, in search of the fugi-
tive.
But they returned without the prize, (for
Charley was one of the most valuable of
slaves and all hope of his recovery was CIV
en- up. But about six months after his es-
cape, Charley wrote a letter to his owner,
saying, Canada was a cold, barren place;
that the abolitionists deceived the poor ne
groes, &C., that he was very sorry he ran
away and that, if his master would forgive
him, he would return and be dutiful and ODE
dent. So the master wrote back, that he

Mexican NegotiatiOn.-The Washington
correspondent of The n Y. Tribune, says:
"The seal of secrecy has been taken off
The proceedings OF the Senate, on the subject
Of the treaty with Mexico. We may now
have the whole subject published. Among
the letters written by Mr.. Trist to Mr.. Bn.
chanan, concerning his agency in making the
treaty, there is one in which occurs this re-
markable passage:
Among the points which came under dis
cussion was the exclusion of Slavery from all
territory which should pass from Mexico. In
the course of their remarks on the subject, |
was told that if it were proposed to the peo-
pie of the United States to part with a por-
lion of their territory in order that the Inaui-
sition should be therein established, the pro-
posal could not excite stronger feeling Of alb
horrence than those awakened in Mexico bv
the prospect of the introduction of Slavery in
any territory parted with by her.
The date of this letter is Sept. 4, Is47. IL
shows how much stronger the feeling for IL
berry is, even among this semi-savage people,
than among ourselves.

"THE DARKEST Hour rs JUST BEFORE
DAY."-The dark clouds of Slavery have
doomed up from the Baltimore and Philadel-
phia Conventions, and are ever.spreading the
land with gloom. Many who have looked
to the Wing and Democratic parties TO save
the ark of Liberty. are struck with despon-
dency-with fear and trembling. Let us not
despair. 1t is a part Of the work of human
redemption TO break the bonds of slavery and
let the oppressed 90 free. Fear not. Out of
Nazareth will come forth some d~espised Naz-
arene who will prove to be the SHILoAH of
the slave. Let us put faith in the great prin.

we shall triumph, We have never seen the

DAILY CRESCENT.
TnE nREAM az IIFE.


When was youDg-long, long ago
] dreamed myself among the flowers;
And fancy drew the picture 80,
They seemed like fairies in their bowers.
The rose wasstill rose, You know
But yet maid. What could do =?
You surely would not have me go,
When rosy maidens seem to woo
Ny heart was gay, ard mid the throng
l spOned for an hour or two;
We danced the howery paths along,
And did as youthful lovers do.
But sports must cease, aud so I dreamed
To part with these. my fairy flowers
But oh how very hard il seemed
To say goodbye mid such sweet bowers
And one fair maid, with modest air,
Gazed on me with her eyes of blue;
saw the tear.dTop gathering there
How could say to her, Adieu
fondly gave my hand and heart,
And we were wed. Bright hour of youth
How little did think to part
With my sweet bride whose name was Truth.
But time passed on and Truth grew gray,
And chided, though with gentlest art
loved her, though 1 went astray,
And almost broke her faithful heart.
And then left her, and in tears
These could not move my hardened breast
/ wandered and for weary years
sought for bliss, but found no rest.
Isought-yet ever sought in vain
To find the peace, the JOY Of youth
At last | turned me back again,
And found them with my faithful Truth.

AGAINST FINE CLoTHEs.-GoOd clothes are the
embroidered trappings of pride, and good cheer the
very root of glutony. Did man, think you, come
wrangling into the world about no better matters
than all his lifetime to make privy searches in Biz

those days than to set up LOOMS and be free of the
weavers. His breeches were not so much worth
as King Stephens, that cost but a poor noble ;
for Adams hOlyday hose and doGblet were Of no
better stuff than plain ig-leaves, and Ewes best
gown OF the same piece there went but pair OF
shears between them. An antiquary of this town
has yet Of the powder cf those leaves to show.
Tailors then were none of the twelve companies !;
their hall, that is now larger than some dories
among the Netherlanders, was then no bigger than
a Dutch butchers shop; they burst not strike
down their customers with large bills. Adam
cared not an apple-paring for their costly hens.
There WAS then neither the Spanish slop, nor the

Virginia, daughter of Ananias and Eleanor Dare,
and granddaughter of Governor John White. She
was born on the 18th of August, 1887, in Roanoke,
North Carolina. Her parents were of the expedl-
