What thou dOeSt, do Quickly.

Quick, young man! life is short A great
work is before you, and you have no time to lose
If you would succeed in business, win your way
to honor and save your soul, YOU must work
quickly. The sluggard dies The wheels Of
time roll over him and crush him, while he sleeps
Aim high and work hard. Life is worth the
living, death worth the dying, because worth the
gaining.
Quick, ye men of might in the road of life.
Your life is more than half gone already. You
are going down the HILL and the shadows begin
to fall around you. If ye have aught to do be-
fore you die, do it quickly, The morning has
fled, midday has passed, and the night cometh.
Quick, ye aged men, quick. Once you thought
threescore years and ten to be an endless time,
and that they could never pass away They
have come, they have gone, and what have they
leftl The days of pleasure are past, and the
days of darkness are here. Have you left any
work undonel Have you come to infrmties
and trembling, with no preparation for DEATH
All, quick, ye aged fathers, and gray-bearded
sires Already are the messengers of death be-
ginning to tender their services, to bring you to
the sepulchres of your fathers. With the feeble
remnants of existence struggle for heaven. Work
pray, seek while life fingers, mercy waits, and
God is gracious

SelfiShneSS.

God has written upon the flowers that sweet
en- the air-on the breeze that rocks the flower
on the stem-upon the rain drop that refreshes
the sprg of moss that lifts its head in the desert
upon the ocean that rocks every swimmer in
its deep chambers-upon every penclled shell
that sleeps in the caverns of the deep, no less
than upon the mighty sun which warns and
cheers millions of creatures which live in its
light-upon his works he hath written None
of US liveth to himself" And probably, were
we wise enough to understand these works, we
should find that there is nothing-from the colo
stone in the earth, or the minutest creature that
brcathes, which may not in some way or other,
minister to the happiness of some living crea
ture. We admire and praise that flower that
best answers the end for which it was created
and bestows the most pleasure. We value anC
praise that horse which best answers the end fol
which it was created, and the trees that bea
fruit the most rich and abundant; and the stal
that is most useful in the heavens is the star tina
we admire the most.
And is it not reasonable that man, to whom
the whole creation, from the flower up to thu
spangled heavens, all minister-man who ha
power of comforting deeper misery and highe
happiness than any other being on earth-man
who can act like God if he WILL is it not reason
able that he should live for the noble end of liv
ing; not for himself, but for others!

HI carrieth on great works. his country is
enriched, and the laborer is employed; he form
eth new schemes, and the arts receive improve
ment
He considereth the superhuites of his table
as belonging to the poor, and he defraudeth them
not.
The benevolence of his mind is not checked
by his fortune. He reioiceth therefore in riches,
and his joy is bameless.
But wo unto him that heapeth up wealth in
abundance, and rejoiceth alone in the possession
thereof
That grindeth the face of the poor, and con-
sldereth not the sweat Of their brows
He thriveth on oppression without feeling; the
ruin Of his brother disturbeth him not.
The tears of the orphan he drinketh as milk;
the cries of the widow are music to his ear.
His heart is hardened with the love of wealth;
no grief or distress can make impression upon it.
But the curse of iniquity pursueth him; he
liyeth in continual fear The anxiety of his
mind, and the rapacious desires of his own soul,
take vengeance upon him for the calamites he
hath brought upon others.
o, what are the miseries of poverty in COM
parison with the cravings of this mans heart.
Let the poor man comfort himself, yea, re-
joice for he hath many reasons.
He stteth down to his morsel in peace; his
table is not crowded with Aatterers and devour-
ers
He is not embarrassed with dependents, nor
leased with the clamors of solicitation.
Declared from the dainties of the rich, he es-
capeth all their diseases
The bread that he eateth, is it not sweet to his
taste! the water he drnkeh is it not pleasant to
his thirst? yea, far more delicious than the rich
est draughts of the luxurious
His labor preserveth his health, and produceth
him repose to which the downy bed of sloth is
a stranger.
He limiteth his desires with humility and the
calm of contentment is sweeter to his soul than
the requirement Of wealth and grandeur.
Let not the rich, therefore, presume on his
riches, nor the poor despond in his poverty; for
the providence of God dispenseth happiness to
them both, and the distribution thereof is more
equally made than the fool can believe.

of introduction to yourself ALSO letters to Mr. Barnes

lie was bright, active fellow, rather under mid
ding size, threefourths African blood-was assisted
away from New Orleans in a way that is not best to
publish and brought to Boston and consigned to
the care, las he thought,) of Mr. Garrison and Mr.
Clarke, Supposed to be Milton Clarke3 was sent off
the same night some 80 miles, privately possible
He had writing given him by the friends in Boston,
requesting that he should not be put upon any public
conveyance as his master had brother at the Law
School in Cambridge, and as he was a favorte and
valuable body -save and his master wealthy, deter
mined and persevering man, no means would be left
untried, that would afford chance to retake him.
He had escaped once before, had been caught and
whipped $50 lashes with the bull whir las is called
being pnioned down on the EARTH 1t was enough to
make swear eternal opposition to slavery, to hear
the poor fellows story and to his SCARED back and
limbs. He said death would cerainlay be his lot, if
again caught He had been sick and detained sever
al days before he came to Randolph he also was sick
nearly week here, and had a severe cough when he
left.
He was sent along towards Montpelier on Thursday
of the week ON the day following there were sus-
pcious and dark movements in and through this town.
Rumors were after in circulation that fugitive
slave had been pursued and caught but nothing def
mite could be learned.
Recently, however, the writer of this has learned
some particulars, which too strongly confirm the ru
mors of last winter and the probability is, that the
fellow was taken either between Norhfeld and Mont
pelier, or in the vicinity of Montpelier.
If any person can furnish any information that such
a person went on his way about the last of March,
l847 towards Canada, and will publish the same in
your paper it will be a relief to the minds of several
anxious persons. Or, if he was caught and carried
back as it is feared he was, any person who will fur
nsh any information to you for publication which will
throw any light upon the NATTER will confer favor
upon the community.
And if any citizens of Vermont had any thing to
do with assisting to catch and help carry out of the
state that fugitive slave there are those in Randolph
and Brookied, that would very much like to be put
in possession of testimony sufficient to establish the
facts. II. G.

Education Of Children,

'The business of educating children and youth is
not the work of day year. Its perpetual in its
demands upon our attention. labors and our pecu
mary support. AS one generation comes forward to
fill the places of men who have gone before them, an
other follows hard AFTER and demands, in turn, the
means of preparation to fill the places in society which
we now occupy. Nor is education work confined to
the proper training and cultivation of the intellect
All the faculties of our nature physical, intellectual
and moral, must be duly cultivated and properly di-
rected in order to make man good and worthy CT
tizen. If his intellect only be enlarged and stored
with all the knowledge which the human mind is cap
able of receiving he is still but partially educated
His moral powers have been neglected. He has a
giant mind but is base in heart He has intellectual at
tainments argeness of comprehension and stretch Of
thought which elevate him above the ordinary grade
of his fellow men, and fit him in this respect to asso
aciate with some higher order of beings and yet III
moral worth, he degrades himself below his species
and can claim companionshp only with fendisf
spirits

Question for a Wife,

Do you recollect what your feelings were immedi-
ately after you had spoken the first unkind word to
your husband?-Did you not feel both ashamed and
grieved, and yet too proud to admit it2 That pride,
madam was, is, and ever will be, your evil genius
1t is the temper which labors necessarily to destroy
your peace which cheats you with vile delusion that
your husband deserved your anger when he really
most deserved your love.

Tens re,

How few of us would feel it in our hearts to censure
Others if we knew the peculiar complexion of theil
hearts. While the course of life is smooth with us
they may experience its sad reverses. While JOY
sparkles in our pathway, grief may sit broodng il
their bosoms. They have trials peculiar to themselves
of which we have no conception. There are sorrows
locked up in the heart that are never known to mora
man. And while we condemn individuals for this
cause and another it may be that in the eye of HEAVIER
we are far more guilty.-They suffer enough, without
the finger of scorn or the censure and by our course
we may add ten-fold their sorrows.

THE FREEMAN
Written for the Green Mountain Freeman.
Extract from an Intercepted Letter.

This is great country, embracing all Texas;
California and Mexico cry out "Annex us"
Tins land OF steam-engines and telegraph wires,
Gun-cotton and enterprise proudly aspires
10 annex all the comets, the Moon and the stars,
Uranus and Jupiter, Venus and Mars :
For Congress, It's thought, in its power and might,
Will claim by discovery these orbs of the night.
They'll annex them at any rate, willing or not.
If they dare to oppose ii, send "Igylor" & "ScoA
Who thrstmg for fame, with their troops will arise
To fight for their country, and conquer the Skies
To the moon first advance in good order and form
And, scaling the battlements, take it by storm;
Thence, upward thy'll rush with impetuous pace,
And surprise all the stars in ETHEREAL space.
If perchance in the strife any planet prevails,
Blow it out of existence, with gun-cotton bales;
And when they've subdued all the comets and stars,
The heavens must pay the expense of the wars.
