EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF A SLAvE.-At
the anniversary meeting Of the AnIi.Slavery
Society Of Boston, Henry Brown, the fugitive
slave, whose extraordinary escape from servl-
Iude IN Richmond, and almost miraculous arrl-
val in Philadelphia, created such sensation,
was introduced to the audience. He was trans
ported over three hundred miles through a
slaveholding country, in a box four feet one
inch long, Two feet wide, and two feet six inches
deep. The following abstract Of his history
we find in the Traveller of Saturday evening:
While at Richmond, though the box was le-
pibly and distinctly marked, "ths side up with
care" it was placed on end, with his head
downwards. He felt strange pains, and was
preparing himselfto die, prelerring liberty or
death to slavery, and he gave no sign. he was
however, relieved from this painful position. q
encountered no other danger than The rough
handling Of the box, until it arrived in Wash.
ing,on. When the porIers who had charge Of
il reached the depot there, they threw or drop.
ped it with violence TO the ground, and it rolled
over small hill, turning over two or three
times. This he thought was bad enough, but
the words he heard filled him with dispair.-
They were, that the box was so heavy that il
could not be forwarded on that night, but must
lay over twenty.four hours. In the language
of the fugitive. my heart swelled in my
throat; could scarcely breathe; great sweat
drops came over me; gave up all hope. But a
man came in and said, ''that box must go on; its

was taken to the depot. | was placed head
downward for the space Of half an hour. My
eyes we're swollen almost out of my head, and
was becoming insensible, when the position
was chenged." .-
He arrived in Phladelp phla after many hair
breadth escapes, and The box was taken to the
house 10 which it was directed. The painting
inmate heard voices whispering; afterwards
more men came in. They we're doubtful OF
fearful about opening the box, aud asked "ls
all right herel" "All right" echoed from the
box.
In confederation Of it, Rev. ]. S. May said
he was in Philadelphia in the midst of The ex
citemenI caused by this wonderful adventure
He said, that, for obvious reasons he could no
give the name of the gentleman to whom the
box wus consigned.

NJ HISS ALICE CAREY.
We were weeping round her pillow,
For we knew that she must die;
II was night within our bOsOms-
1t was night within the sky.
There we're seven Of US children,
the Oldest one Of all,
So I, tried to whisper comfort,
but the binding tears would fall.
On my knee my little brother,
Leaned his aching brow and wepl
And my sister long black tEesses
0'er my heaying bosom swept
The shadow Of an awful fear
Came Ger me as trod,
To lay the burthen Of our grief
Before the throne Of God.
'Oh, be kind to one anotherw
Was my mothers pleading prayer,
As her hand lay like a snowflake
On the baby's golden hair.
Then a glory bound her forehead,
Like the glory Of a crown,
And in the silent sea oi death
The star Of life went down.
Her latest breath was borne away
Upon that loving prayer,
And the hand grew heavier, Paler,
In the baby golden hair.
