THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
Rome and New York.


a correspondent of the New York Com |
rnercial Advertiser, writing from the papal !
city of Rome, soys:
To bring the case of the poor Romans
nome to readers, let them imagine New |
york to be conquered after heroic defence, |
and held in suhjection by foreign power to
a conclave of priests, who have no sympa-
thies in common with the people. To deny
the right of these priests to rule, has been !
proclaimed damnable heresy; aud all who
have acted against it, have been excommu-
nicated. Let us suppose nine months to
have passed since the city was reduced, and
not only the revolutionary Assembly and
Cabinet, but all the commissioned officers of
the army, and all the leading politicians of
the party, to have long since been driven
away. The people are encouraged to hope
that the head of the Christian Church will,
upon his entrance into the city with unlimit-
ed authority, bring them relief A man now
hopes for better times in business, and thinks
he will go to Boston, for instance to pur-
chase goods. But he must first have pa
per signed by the priest of his parish, testi-
tying that the Church has nothing against
him, !. C., that he has confessed aud taken
the sacrament not long since, and is sui-
ficiently orthodox. Next he must have from
the alderman of his ward n certificate of his
good political conduct; !. e., that he is not
an opposer of the priostly government
With these two papers, if he can get them,
he must go to the police, give his name and
residence, and wait until inquiry can be
made as TO his political character. If he
passes these three ordeals, lie receives n
written permission TO 90 to Boston by II GER
tain route. But if he is among the cxcom-
municated, or, if any one has secretly lodged
accusation against him, he finds himself
caught in net, and at the mercy of revenge
iul powers. He may be led from the police
TO the prison, and there lie for weeks without
knowing his accusation, and be released at
last without examination or trial. No legal
sentence is necessary for his punishment;
his friends have no habeds corpus law to bring
him out The mans business is ruined, his
family are in DISTRESS and yet here he must
stay, crushed in spirit and in affairs. lie
discovers perhaps that his little son was en-
ployed by the priest to hunt through the
house for prohibited books and papers; some
of the old republican haudbills were found
thrown aside, and lorgotten-nothing indi-
eating any new conspiracy-yet this was the
cause of his Imprisonment What say free

Fresh Air..

Man acts strangely. Although a current
of fresh air is the life of his very lungs, Inc
scenes indefatigably in the exercise of his
inventive powers TO deprive himself of this
heavenly blessing. Thus he carefully closes
every Granny of his bedchamber against its
entrance, and he prefers that his lungs
should receive the mixed afiiuvium from his
ceIler aud larder, and fron a pntent little
modern aquarius in lieu of it. Why should
man be SO terrified at the admission of night
air into any of his apartments? 1t is ma
lures ovcrflowing current, and never carries
the destroying angel with it. See how
soundly the delicate little wren and tender
robin sleep under its full and immediate in
fluence, and how fresh aud vigorous, and
joyous they rise amid the surrounding dew
drops of tho morning. Although exposed
all night long to the air of heaven, their
lungs are never out of order, and this we
know by the daily repetition of their song.
Look at the newly born hare, without any
nest TO go to. 1t lives and thrives, and be-
comes strong and playful under the unmit-
gated inclemency of the falling dews of
night. have here fine male turky, full
eight years old, and he has not passed n
single night in shelter He roosts in a cher
ry tree, and always is in primest health
throughout the year. Three dunghil fowls,
preierring the cherry tree to the warm
perches in the hen house, took up their airy
quarters with him early in October, and
have never gone to any other roosting place.
The COW and the horse sleep safely OH the
cold damp ground, and the roebuck lies
down TO rest in the heather, on the dewy
mountains top. | myself can sleep all
night long, bareheadcd, under the full moons
watey beams, without any fear of danger,
and pass the day in wet shoeswthout catch
ing cold. Coughs and colds are generally
caught in the transition from an overheated
room TO cold apartment; but there would
be no danger in this movement if ventila-
ton were properly attended to-a precau-
ton little thought of now days.-W Wateton's

How TO AvoID CATCHING CoLD-Accus-
tom yourselves TO the use of sponging with
cold water every morning on first getting out
of bed. 1t should be done quickly, and fol-
lowed by good, brisk rubbing with rough
towel. 1t has considerable effect in giving
tone to the skin, and maintaining proper
action in it; and thus proves safeguard to
the injurious influence of cold and sudden
changes of temperature: therefore person
who is in the habit of thus terrifying the
skin will be much less likely to suffer injury
from heated rooms and change from hot
room to the Geld air. Sir Ashley Cooper
says, /" The methods by which preserve
my own health are, temperance, carly rising
and bathing the body every morning with
cold water Immediately after getting out OF
bed, practice which have adopted 80
years; and though ! go from the hot theatre
into the squares of the hospital, in the sever
est winter nights, yet ] scarcely ever catch a

GIFT OF A MAGNIFICENT BBLE.-Ediiors
Evening Iraveiier.-With no ordinary plea
sure, acknowledge the receipt of a most
beautiful and splendid copy of the Holy
Scriptures, from an unknown lady. In it IS
written, Presented TO Dr. Francis Cogswell.
of Bedford, as a token of esteem and graft
tude, for his generous advocacy of woman's
political rights in his Concord letter-MAR-
THAI
Finding that my motives in writing that
communication have been misconcieved,
selfrespect compels me to say, il was bur
tesqle on female politics and the course pur-
sued by the madbrained advocates of wo-
mans rights. Should the fourth party take
umbrage at this frank confession, shall have
cause TO apprehend an immediate excommll-
nication from their Church.
1t is worthy of remark, that the political
rights of females are not recognised in the
teachings of the very book so kindly pre-
sented to me, and for which the fair donor
will please accept my most profound ac-
acknowledgements.
Very respectfully, &C.,
FRANCIS CoGeswELI.
