Letter from Horace Mann.

The following letter, addressed by Mr.
Mann to the Young Mems Debating Society,
No. Ill Bowery, in reply TO communica-
ton asking his advice in relation to the hest
manner OF debating, we copy from tue Eue-
ming Post:
WEST NEWTON, Monday, June 16, 81.
| am very glad to be made acquainted
with the existence of your Society, and feel
highly honored by your request for word
of encouragement and counsel.
have an inexpressible interest in young
men, aud wish | could live my life over
again, that might cause less of evil and
more of good than have done. But life is
n book of which we cun have but one edi-
ton: as il is first prepared it must stand for
ever. Let each days actions, as they add
another page to the indestructible volume,
be such that we shall be willing to have an
assembled world TO read il.
You say you constitute Debating Socie-
ty. Will you allow me, as n friend, to make
one remark Oh the subject of the choice OF
subjects, and another upon your habit oi
treating them.
would recommend that you choose top
les for discussion, which are, ms far as posi-
bic, both theOretic and practical. The theo-
retic will exercise your speculative faculties,
! which are essential to comprehensveness
torethought and invention and the practi-
cal will cause you to keep continually in
view the Uses which may be made of your
combinations of ideas. Both powers will
make the man, 80 far as the intellect is con.
! cerned.
My other remarks is-and am sure you
will think more and more of il the longer
you ive-nevet investigate, nor debate foI
| Triumph, but always for Truth Never take
the affirmative or negative side OF ques
ton till after you have mastered it, accord.
ing to the best of your ability; and then a,
dopt the side which judgement and con
science assure you to be right.
The mind is not only the object to be i'm
proved, but il is the instrument TO work
with. How can you improve Il moral in
strument by forcing il TO hide or obscure
The Truth, and espouse the side of False
hood? If you succeed you do but iniurC
others, by inducing them to adopt errors
but you injure yourself more thnn any one
else. The optician, who heclouds the glass
through which he looks, is wise mar
compared with the reasoner who becloud,
his faculties. Keep one thing forever il
view-the TRUTH-and you DO this, tho
it may seem to lead you AWAY from the opin
ions of men, il will assuredy conduct you L
the throne of God.
With sincure hopes for your welfare, am
dear sir, very truly, yours, &c,

Who arc Slaves?
ny FRANCIS D. GAGE.

1 would not bear to be a slave,
To do anothers will,
To move WIENER he said must,
And when he badc, stand still
To think, to feel, to speak, to act,
Beneath lords control,
As il my God had never given
To me a living soul
Not all Of Caliiornia's gold
Could tempt TO such fate
'Twould till my heart with bitterness,
With malice, pride, and hate.
And l would never be a slave
10 passions venom'd power,
And barter love, and hope and health,
For pleasure of an hour
The sparkling wine. the inebriatc's cup,
The tempter's glittering snare,
Oh grant kind Heaven, it ne'er be mine,
Such scrvitudo to bear.
A slavc-a slavc-what is a slaveI
A man with fetters bound,
Ono doomed to bear masters lash,
Like some vile cringing hound;
a man whom .JreemeH's lac has doomed
Thro years to serve another,
His life, his labor, and his bono
The chattels Of his brother.
Yes, these are slaves; poor, wre.chcd slaves
Down troddcn and oppressed,
All poworless they help themselves,
Unpiticd and unblcst
Upon their brow is stamped by heaven
a bond that seals their doom,
And frecmcn for the darkness given
Shroud all their life in gloom.
There IS a slave more abject still
Than passions child OF sin,
Or even ho who bears the bond
OF dark tinted skin.
Yes, there are slaves. poor cringing slaves,
That tread Columbia's soil,
That sell their very souls for gold,
For party, and for spoil
That bind themselves with fetters far
More CALLING than a chain,
That stoop and let tyrant world
Put shaclSlcs on the brain
That dare not speak the bold FREQ thought,
That struggles from within,
Lest they offend some tyrant lord,
Who gives his aids TO sin.
No fetteTs gall their weary limbs,
No law controls their will,
Yet arc they mean ard shject slaves,
Poor cringing menials still.
The darkest man from Afric's sands
That ere was bought or sold,
Is not so lost as he who sells
Himself, for place or gold
Who puts out all his spirit fires,
Nor dares one spark to save,
OF justice, mercy, love and truth,
But lives and dies a slave.

A Morning with Madame Ida Pleiffcr.

Morning with Madame Ida PleiffCr.
After exchanging our mutual congratua-
tons, the conversation (which was carried
on in French, Madame speaking English but
imporfectly) naturally turned upon the sub
ject of her recent journey. Reminding her
of our original meeting on the shores of
Palestine, and of the Indifference with which
she endured fatigue and hardship on that
occnsion, l playiuly observed that consid-
cred that she had served her apprenticeship
to myself and that had always boosted of
pupil who had left her tutor so infinitely
behind" She admitted that it was even so,
and that her power of bearing privation,
tested in that journey, together with the taste
for travelling she then acquired, had led her
to mediate still more extensive wauderngs
" 1t was after my journey to Iceland, which
followed that into Palestine"
Iceland! my dear madame! !" Iexclaimed
with Il sudden start. "Why, had not the
slightest notion you had ever visited that
country"
"Oh yes, and published book about IT,"
was her quiet reply; and she Immediately
resumed "aiter this Iceland journey, then,
left Vienna and embarked at Hamburger
for Rio yauero, and, after remaining some
time on the coasts of Brazil, penetrated into
the interior, visited the savage tribes, and
crossing the continent Of South America,
reached Valparaiso, which, as you know, is
on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Thence
] crossed over to the island of Tahiti, where,
during my stay, was upon the most inti-
mate terms with Queen Pomare. Leaving
that beautiful spot, ! crossed the wide Pacif-
ic Ocean to Canton, with which city was
much delighted"
"Of COURSE" remarked; "you do not
mean the interior of the Chinese quarters,
into which Europeans are not allowed to
penetrate?"
"Indeed do" was her reply. al am,
perhaps, the only person that has ever gone
through it, must admit that the attempt
was rash, but could not overcome my curl
osty. Madame Gutzlafl, The Missionary's
wife, assured me she had never ventured to
think of such ;hing."
"But how did you contrive to accomplish

about" was her reply "On reaching the
