A CANDID WITNEss.-Epes Sargent, the
Editor of the Boston Transcript man who
has no affinity with MISUNDERSTANDING
been an eyewitness of the row in the Tab
ernacle, wrote TO his paper an account of the
scene, in which he says:
1t was the first time had seen Frederick
Douglass. There seemed disposition TO
hiss him down on the part Of Captain Ryn-
ders and other pillars of the church. But
Douglass deprecatingy remarked, that sure
ly the audience could not apprehend that
any difficulty would be created by "a mon
key and he thereupon replied, in a mingled
strain of sarcasm, pathos and manly scorn to
the haranguc of his medical predecessor.
really cannot name the white man, in Con-
gress or out, who could have acquitted him
self more eloquently and ably--with u more
graceful ease or dignified selfpossession-
than Douglass did on this occasion. His
voice is strong, musical and plant; his utter
ance measured and prompt; his language
choice, pointed and beautiful; and there is n
reserve of power conveyed in his manner, as
if Inc did but give to his words half the fcrvor
and force which his heart would lend. After
he had spoken some minutes with spirit, a
readiness, and a propriety which extorted
admiration from friend and foe, he turned
abruptly TO the audience, and exclaimed
Look at me-and judge between me and
that genteman's theory-am not u man Z"
A laundering Yes went up in reply from ma
ny voices.

CumoUs SLAVE CAsE.-A curious slave
case has just terminated in New York. Mich
olas Dudley, a slave, owned by Allen Tho
mas, of Maryland, has been sentenced for
two years to the State Prison. He confessed
the theft, and goes into confinement at Sing
Sing as punishment. The owner seemed
much disappointed at the course of the law
but as the offence was committed here, the
punishment necessarily had to be provided
for here also. AT the end of the imprison-
ment, the owners claim 70 the services of the
slave will remain as at present This is not
a very striking compliment to slavery, this
preference Of a prison to labor in Maryland,

UNGRATEFUL.-No man has been more
servile to the South than Abbot Lawrence,
the present minister of the United States in
England; and yet, although his nomination
has been more than five months before the
Senate, it has not yet been acted upon, and
the Southern leaders still hold it in reserve
as means of controlling the votes of his po-
ltical friends from New England, in the
House, on the projects expected to come up
there for settling the slavery controversy
Good enough for him.

remembrance in thiS-that il was at ms
own home, in the State whose annals he
had honorcd, that ac went 10 his rest.
There hearts that had known him best
were ready TO console the brrravcd--and
reflections such as these soolhCd and soft
ened the last struggle.
And of the last and kccnCst blow that
has fallen on the Presidential rank, what
adequate words can be uttered It's the
commander dying in the midst of the bat
lIe-the man of the wheel shot down
when the struggle is ferccst.
Every where the pen of power and the
voice of eloqucnce are speaking 10 the fall
heart Of the people.
The thread of Destiny seems woven m
10 q warp of mystery, by events such as
that which even yet have scarcely lost
their feature of wondor.
The manner of the death of President
TAYLOR is known to all. The future has
It's own light or shadow.
One only of those who were elected TO
the office of President rcmaus-and with
vigorous health. Long and happy be rhc
evening of his days. He has passed from
the arena OF competitors. One who has
borne that highest of earth honors may
we'll rest satisfied.

Was gently PLACID with tender care,
That wreath was twin'd of lovely how'rs,
And twin'd in YOUTHS most ballow'd hours.
The lilly Of the dewy morn,
With Sharon's rose-but newly born
Were softly PLACID and hap'ly woye
For her to whom we knelt in love.
And as we knclt-light fingers stray'd
O'er her Guitar-she sang and play'd
"The Cypress Wreath" Athenian Maid,
Both fav'rte airs-awhi!e she lent
To youth the spell of sentiment.
Now twilght's gauze-veil'd DER the day
And music's strains fast died away;
We listen'd-but no more to hear,
Amelia wept-and wept tear,
An ocean in tear" she said

We gaz'd upon the wreath still more
1t look'd not, as it look d before,
In deepest green the cypress hung
Luxuriant lis mantle flung
And closely like, the maiden clung
To scenes Of loye-to hearts unstruug,
Such the dream Of life.
Again we slept and drcam'd once more
That years ad ilown-perchancc 4 score
Had Elected past-had hurried DER,
Had beat on US like waves on shore.
She whom we lov'd in youth too well
Who taught us first loves magic spell,

a Beautiful Thought.

The following, which we copy from the las
lumber Of the Missionary Herald, i, from th,
zen of Bishop Doanc:
Chiscl in hand, stood a sculptor boy,
With his marble block before him,
And his face lit up with smile Of JOY,
As an angel dream passed DER him;
He carved the dream on that shapclcss stone
With many sharp mcision;
With Heavens own light The sculptor shonc-
lie had caught that angel vision
Sculptors Of life are VIC, as We stand
With our souls uncarvcd, before US;
Waiting the hour, when at Gods command
Our life dream passes DER us.
If we carve it then, on the yielding stone,
With many a sharp ncison,
It's heavenly beauty shall be our own,
Our lives that angel vision.

TO James Cory, Esq.


On his mahing me present # a " Vine-StrIiner.
This life, dear Cory, who can doubt,
Resembles much friend Ewart's wine
When first the rosy drops come out,
How beautiful, how clear they shine
And thus, awhile they keep their tint,
SO free from even shade with some,
That they would smile, did you but hint,
That darker drops would ever come.
But soon the ruby tide runs short,
Each moment makes the sad truth palmer,
Till life, like old and crusty port,
When near its close requires n straner
This friendship can alone confer, ,
Alone can teach the drops to pass
If not as bright as once they were,
At least uncloudcd through the glass.
Nor, Cory, could boon be mine,
Ofwhich my heart were fondcr, vaincr,
Than thus, if life grew like old wine,
To have Thy friendship for its straincr.
