A QU1D FOR ABoL1T1oNlsrs.-On the first
day Of August term of our county court, Peter
Beason, man Of color, was, at his own in
stance, sold into perpetual servitude. Peter
was emancipated by the will of Mrs. Farrow,
who died some years since, and the laws of the
State forbade his remaining within its limits for
more than a twelve month. This law Peter
saw fit to set at naught, and the consequence
was, that he was indicted for remaining in the
State against the form Of the statute, On the
first day ofcourt, however, Peter presented him
voluntarily and entreated that the penalty
of the law should be visited upon him (viz.
sale to the highest bidder) which was accord
ingly done, and Peter secured good home for
life. This little incident furnishes two lessons.
The first is, that even the intelligent slave at
the South has sense enough to know that his
condition here is far preferable to the degrada.
ton and pauperism to which he would be SUBJ
jected in free State. The second is, that the
clamor and outcry ofthe North about the evils
of slavery, result either from ignorance Of the
nature Of the institution or the more deyelish
spirit of Piedmont Wing.

| THE WHALES SrRENGTH-The most dread
full display of the whales strength and prowess
yet authentically recorded, was that made on
! the American whale ship Essex, Capt. Pollard,
which sailed from Nantucket for the Pacific
Ocean in August, 1910. Late in the fall of
the same year, when in lat. 40 Of the South Pa
cifc, a school of sperm whales were discovered,
and three boats were manned and sent in pur-
suit. The mates boat was struck by one Of
them, and he was obliged to return to the ship,
in order to repair the damage.
While he was engaged in the work, sperm
whale, judged to be eighty-three feet long,
broke water twenty rods from the ship, on her
weather bow. He was going at the rate of
about three knots an hour, and the ship at
nearly the same rate, when he struck the bow
Of the vessel, just forward of her chains.
At the shock produced by the collision Of
two such mighty masses of matter, in motion,
the ship shook like leaf. The seemingly ma
licious whale dived and passed under the ship,
grazing her keel, and then appeared at about
the distance of ships length, lashing the sea
with his fins and tail, as if suffering the most
horrible agony. He was evidently hurt by the
collision, and blindly frantic with instructive
rage.
In few minutes he seemed to recover him.
self, and started, with great speed, across tho
vessels course, to windward Meanwhile, the
hands on board discovered the ship to begrad-
ually settling down at the bows, and the pumps
were to be rugged. While the crew were
working at them, one of them cried out-"God
have mercy he comes again.
The whale had turned about forty rods from
the ship and was making for her with double
his former speed, his pathway white with foam.
Rushing ahead, he struck her again at her bow,
and the tremendous blow stove her in. The
whale dived under again, and disappeared, and
the ship foundered in FIVE minutes from tho
first collision. But five souls, out Of twenty,
were saved.

MODERN LEAR.-An eminent trader of Ly-
sons, France, who acquired competency, had
two handsome daughters, between whom, on
their marriage, he divided all his property, on
condition that he should pass the summer with
one, and the winter with the other Before the
end of the first year, he found sufficient ground
to conclude that he was not an acceptable guest
to either. Of this, however, he took no notice,
but hired handsome lodgings, where he resided
a few weeks. He then applied to a friend, and
told him Of the matter desiring the gift of 200
livres, and the loan of 900 in ready money for
a few hours. His friend readily complied with
his request, and the next day the old gentleman
gave splendid entertainment, to which his
daughters and husbands were invited. Just as
dinner was over his friend was in great hurry,
and told of an unexpected demand upon him,
and desired to know whether he could lend him
10000 livres. The old man told him, without
any emotion, that twice the amount was at his
service, if he wanted it, and going into the next
room, brought him the money. After this he
was not suffered to remain any longer in lodg-
ing, and his daughters were jealous if he STAYED
day longer in one house than the other. At
the expiration of three or four years, spent in
comparative comfort, he died Upon examin-

FLoaG1xG IN FAML1Es.-Much has been sal

FLoaG1SG IN FAMILlEs.-Much has been said
about fogging in the navy, and the brutality of
its continuance, but fogging by parents and
and guardians Of children, as too frequently
practised, is an equally repulsive offence, and
one that ought to be reformed. We saw recor-
ded week or two since, the death of q child
brought about by its own hand, from the appre-
hension and fear Of threatened punishment; and
now we have another case, reported in the Tren.
ton Gazette. The captain Of schooner lying
at anchor off PENIS Manor, Trenton, hogged
his son, who Immediately jumped overheard.
The father sprang over after him, but could not
save him, and came very near being drowned
himself, and was only saved by the exertions
of one of the hands. The 10y was drown
ed.
The practice of fogging is bad one, whe-
ther in the navy OF on land, in schools or in
families, and those who reform the custom alto
gether, are the most humane, and the most sen.
sible and patriotic What is of still greater i'm
portance, such reformation will ensure better
men, better citizens, gentlet, kinder-more
peace-loving. Compare the amiable, gentle.
manly boys and young men Of our Quaker cit
izens, who never strike blow, but rely on gen
tleness and persuasion, the potent influence Of
kind and loving exsmple,-compare these
with the hangdog looking countenance Of the
"Kiers" and "Rats" that infest our districts,
and who, from their boyhood up, have never
learned the meaning Of kind words, but have
received, at paternal hands, plentiful supply Of
cuffs, kicks and harsh foggings. The young
colt revolts from the whip, which only makes
cross-grained, vicious horses-while gentle
treatment insures the kind, gentle, noble animal.
So it is with man. We are human beings.
Treat us as such, and great viii be your Re.

not see the use of it at school, therefore, it

The merchant, really concerned for the poor

one thing that you can do, Mr.. Allen, and that

they wished him to learn, he mi ght have filled

wages paid him as chan-carrier. Indeed we
cannot tell how high position of usefulness
he might have held, had he improved all the
opportunities afforded him in youth. But he
perceived the use of learning too late.

people, accepted the choice. Many congrat-
uIatlons were offered, which received civily,
but they gave no joy to me. considered the

all my apprehensions. That excellent lady,
who has always encouraged me, burst into a
mood of tears, but said she was sensible of all
the dangers to her and to our children, as well
as to me, but she thought had done as ought:
she was very willing to share in all that was
