Whilst our captains noble mien
Speaks loudly for his race,
His piercing eyes are keen
Bent on the golden chase.

Have it pIowed or spaded deep, and

A great many gardens lack lime. and

As for salt, all human food contains a
little; every body eats salt with his
meat, bread and potatoes, and we would
hint, in the most delicate terms, that if
all chambers were emptied over the soil
in garden, nothing would improve it
more. A tight barrel filled with pound>

We would that they should do unto you" Every
child knows THAT, and cannot be convinced oil
the contrary.
| The public sentiment Of the civilised world
is opposed to slavery. Every denomination OF
Christians TO be found Ia Europe, Asia, Africa
or America, has borne solemn and decided tes-
timony against 1t. Slavery is tolerated IN nc
other country on earth, where the banner OF
freedom has been unfurled-in no other coun-

when Il will be done away here. Yes, that

This right, difficult as il 10, for persons In

whole families and tribes have become free IA
the slave States, notwithstanding many of then
