THE EXPERIENCE OF A FUGITIVE SLAVE. On board
of the ship Gpsy, John Ellis, mastery who arrived
at this port few days since, negro woman came
passenger, voluntarily returning to slavery and seek
ing out her master, from whom she had escaped ma
king her way to lands where fugitive slave
law could not reach her. The story of her wander
ngs would be instructive to many abolitionst who
fancies that he is promoting the comforts and consul
ting the wishes of the blacks in attempting to wrest
them from their masters, and throw them upon their
strength and intelligence for substance.
The woman belongs to Judge Rucks. a wealthy
cotton planter of Washington county, Mississippi.
She has father residing at Nashville, who had ex-
pressed desire to buy her, and the Judge permitted
her to remain in Nashville. The father having made
progress in the purchase, orders were sent for the
woman to return home.
At that time she had contrved to take service with
Madame Biscaccant, the vocalist, and leaving Nash
vile with that lady-we do not know how-went
with her to Liverpool, in England, at which place
she discharged, with certificate of good conduct
She found her freedom a heavy burden-more than
she was willing to bear and though her condition
was made known to England, and every sort of rep
resentaton made induce her to remain and en-
joy liberty and her earnings she had had enough of
the toll of taking of herself among the whites,
and persisted in her determination 90 home to her
master. She accordingly came over in the Gipsy,
and is now contenedly in the custody of her master
agent here and is going oyfuy hack Mississippi.
She likes slavery in Mississippi in preference free
dom in England; and there is scarcely doubtthat this
would be the decision of nearly every slave who could
have the opportunity of comparing the condition of
the laborer of the two countries.

BLITz IN AN OMNIBUS. A night or two since,
biitz, the renowned magician and ventroquist took
seat in omnibus, containing seven eight pass
engers. The coach had only proceeded couple of
squares, when the driver heard some exclaim-

The horses were stopped and John looked around
smiling for his PASSENGERS but none appeared. With
an lmmodest exclamation. he gathered up his reins
and said. get ups Pretty cried out

The driver again stopped, looked down into the
coach, and inquired what was wanting. The pass
engers eyed each other, much to say, &" didn't

next corner by the heart-rendng squeakng of poor
turnover pig. Instantly each head was thrust of
the windows to behold the death struggles of the
grunter, but no grunter was to be In another
minute some one exclaimed in a gruff voice

The lady made observation as the coach rolled
on, but she not understood. They had scarcely
gone square further, when the passengers were
startled by the cries of infant. Instantly all eyes
were 6xed on middle aged gentleman, who had a
carpet-bag on his lap. The man bushed, and stam-

HEALTH CHILDREN. More than half the dis

who can have excuse for their ignorance. The in

During childhood, when the brain Is, in common with
other organs in state great activity and rapid de-
veoPment, the proper arrangement of diet is of the
greatest importance. Cheerful activity, cleanliness,
dry pure air, adequate clothing and suitable regimen,
are indispensable promoters of health. Horses and
cattle carefully fed with the food that suits the
best and by humane people greater is bestowed
upon them than the ma jority of parents give to their
children. Some may think We coloring too high

love their children too much willingly injure Them
Still we may kill them by misguided blindness. Look
into society it is present constituted and your
own knowledge will furnish you with instances of
grievOus wrong done tn children by parents violating
the physical laws of their being. We know many
such, and We do not hesitate to say il, for such is
conviction, that if their children be not removed
when young from the deteriorating example and per-
nicous training of their parents they will in all prob
ability become gluttons and drunkards. High-seas-

quantities. and at such irregular times, that unnatural
appetites created, and digestion paired Stimu

them to nvi gorate their systems, which have quite
the contrary effect and lay the foundation of all kinds
of maadies in future years. Some mothers so stuff
their children the whole year round with unwhoesome,
exciting, and stimulating meats and drinks, that they
become complete gourmanGs, and their whole thou ghts
are occupied with what they shall eat what they shall
drink, and where withal they shall be clothed. If
parents would give their children good, wholesome,
nourshing food, their only drink water and let strict
regularity and Punctualy be observed in regard to
their times of eating, gradual change for the better

most certain, that parents cannot be too particular

right physiological training treatment given them
in early life. And yet how many mothers make their
table to their offspring, by pampering their
appettes and loading their stomachs with improper
