A few Yards below the boat landing. there

| A few yards below the boat landing, there
grew out of the bank an immense water oak,
projecting over the river, at an angle of about
| forty-hve degrees. A huge muscadine vine
enwrapped the oak In every part, its branches
and tendrils covering it like net work. The
grapes were now ripe, and hung over the river
in bacchanal profusion,
Purple and gushing
Bessey allowed the canoe to drop down
slowly, just outside of where the tips of the
lower branches of the tree dallied with the
ripping water. The fruit attracted the Sher-
ifs eye and appetite, and reaching out an
arm he laid hold of a branch, and began to
pluck and eat
Hang the grapes' said Snuggs angrily !;
let's 90 onl'

pockets first
BE In hurry then and if you ,oiH gather
the sour things, reach up and pull down them
big punches up thar'--pointng to some fine
clusters higher than the Sheriff could reach,
as he stood up III the boat-'pull the vine
down to youi'
The Sheriff tried, but the vines resisted
his utmost strength; SO crying 'steady!' he
pulled himself clear of the boat, and began
to establish footing among the foliage.
At this moment Captain Snuggs made no
plain as eye could talk, shit her lick back

Silently the paddle went into the water,
Betsey leaning back with lips compressed,
and in a second the canoe shot ten feet out
from the tree, and the Sheriff was left dang
ling among the vines.

Ger.
Keep cool, old Tap-my-shoulder; thar's
jist the smallest grain of joke in this here,
that you ever seed. It's the coolest sort of

this g asked Ellis piteously.
Let all go, drop in the water, and swim
OUT was the reply.

plied-'Er om-say-ffteen-yes at least. if

Great God,' said poor Ellis, you certainly
won't leave me here to drown-my strength
is falling already
IF | don't now said the Captain, most
emphatically, i wish | may be landed in a
thousand foot hole and SAYING word to Bet
sey, they shot rapidly across the river.
Kissing his companion as he stepped out of
the boat, Snuggs sought Button, who was
tied in thicket, near by, and mounting, pur-
sued his homeward way
'NeUer despair he said to himself, as he
logged along-'never despair! Honesty, a
bright watch out, hand in your fingers, and
one in your lap, with little grain of help
from Providence, will always fetch man
through! Never despair! I've been hunted
and tracked and logged like cussed wolf,
but the Lord has provided, and my worst in
envy has tuck a treet-Git up, Button, you
blasted fop-eared iniun.'

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING
OF HI
American Anti Slavery Society.

The FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY of the AMER
ICAN A~NTI-SLAvERv SOCIETY will be held in
the Tabernacle, Broadway, New-York on
Tuesday, the 9Th day Of May next.
The Annual Meeting Of the American So
ciety is the most important anti-slavery meet
ing held any where during the year.
The Anniversary at The Tabernacle repre-
sents TO the country at large the progress,
the efficiency, and even the existence, of the
Anti-Slavery cause. 1t is to vast numbers oi
people, the only sign of the continued zeal
and spirit Of the Abolitionists, whose local
meetings they never hear Of.
The Business Meetings Of the Society
have always brought together in counsel a
large number Of Abolitionisis from various
parts Of the Northern States than is ever con-
vened on any other occasion. The general
interests Of the cause command, at that time,
a consideration which at no other can be
given them.
1t has never, since the formation Of the
Society, been more apparent than at this
moment. that the Anti-Slavery cause is left
where it ever has been, in the hands of the
members of the American Society. There
is as yet no reason 10 suppose that Slavery
will ever be abolished, except through its eff.
forts.
The general importance of the annual
meeting, and the aspec, Of the cause at this
moment, which gives us every thing 10 hope
for if we persevete-every thing 10 fear If
W. falter-appeal alike loudly to Abolition
lists, all over the land, TO make the ensuing
Annual Meeting of the American Anti-SIave-
ry Society one that shall do more even Than
any previous one has done TO drive the South

of society, and the North 10 n more deter
mined attitude, than any portion Of it has
ever yet v~entured to assume in defence OF lis
own rights, and the assertion of the rights of
the slave.

CoLoRED TESTIMONIAL suit was this
week brought before Esquire Kennett, Of this
place, in which the testimony of a colored
witness was profGeTed. The opposing party
objected to its reception, thinking perhaps
that a certain time was fixed in the act re-
pealing the Black Laws for said act TO lake
effect, and that the time had not arrived. We
have never seen a copy of the act of repeal,
but in the several synopsis Of ii which have
fallen under our notice, no reference was
made 10 time, and we presume it went into
effect as soon as It received the Governors
signature. So thought the magistrate, and
admitted the testimony. A similar case, we
learn, recently occurred in Cincinnati, and
was decided in the same way.

Immediate Emancipation from SlayehOlding
Government.

-
10 1891 there could be but eLeren men
found in all New England who would stand
up and publicly declare that immediate E.
Emancipation was the duty of the master and
the right of the slave. There Were many
who had a strong feeling Of opposition TO the
system Of slavery, but these were generally
shocked at The thought Of giving immediate
freedom to the hondman-it was something
they had not thought of, and they were not
prepared for its adoption. But the spirit
that dwells with the two or three who gather
together in the name Of Truth, animated and
sustained the eleven. They were determin-
ed 10 make themselves heard, they were re-
solved that the nation should be aroused,
and that the doctrine they taught in relation
10 slavery should be spread befurs the peo-
pie. The principles that were so ultra then,
are now quite moderate that which was
then so shocking, now appears but a reason
able demand. The people who then oppo-
sed immediate emancipation, now contend for
it, always excepting a few of the wisest in
the State, and the most righteous in tho
Church, who, encountered with the clogs of
position and reputation, are not able 10 pro-
gress as fast as the common people. And
This change is to be attributed first, to the
inherent truthfulness of the principle {; Sc
cond, 10 the perseverance and faithfulness OF
its ad ; ard hir9, to the familiarity Of
the people with the arguments brought for.
ward in its support.
The history of its advent, progress, and
partial triumph is one that may be read with
profit in these days. Immediate cessation
from slavehoIding, and immediate cessation
from the support Of a slaveholIing govern
ment are based upon the anne principle, and
it is strange that those who advocate the
first cannot perceive that it is so. The peo'
pie are shocked by the doctrine that those
who hate slavery should Immediately CEASE
from giving their support 10 the government
which s~ustains the system they see in !
almost as much bloodshed, anarchy, and con
fusion as was prophesied, would result from
the adoption Of immediate emancipation on
slave plantation and they who assured tn
STAKEHOLDER that it was always safe 10 d
right, and demanded of him that he shout
sacrifice all the slave property he possesse,
because justice required ii, are unwilling t
make an application of the same principl
to themselves. They do not feel it safe I
abandon a slaveholding government, and vii
not consent to sacrifice their elective frar
chise for the slaves sake. Yet enough wi

summate the work Of the slaves jeliveranc,

ced that the doctrine of the duty of imn,
