threatened force loudly, and used it actually in
Boston, in behalf of fugitive slaves, and against
public officers and the law. That however, they
might pretend was only offering force to force.
Now, however, the National Era has at last pro-
nounced for the employment of force against South
Carolina in case of her secession. So then these
Christian, conscientious champions of moral pow
er and self-government propose to employ the
sword to compel States to submit to their power.
They propose, in word. to emancipate negroes
and enslaye whites.

THE ERRING ANGEL.


Twas long before this world of ours
BY human footsteps had been trod
That Zira came to Eden's bowers,
Fresh from the presence OF her God
And while her radient wings Were yet
Unturled and trembling in the air,
She seems so changed as 10 forget
Her Heaven and all the bright things there.
Not that her heart had ceased to feel
That glow OF rapture which is known
BY none but those bright ones who kneel
Around Gods ever-during throne,
But, gazing that lovely spot,
No wonder that her soul forgot
The talr and happy realm which lies
Far, far beyond the starry skies.
And there, in that enchanting place,
She loitered long, and wondered why
1t was not peopled with race
OF beings from her native sky.
And oft she wished and sighed to dwell
Herself within world SO fair,
With some one who could love her well,
And DEAN it Heaven to linger there
With some on whose willing arm
She might recline without fear,
And know his heart was beating warm
With the divinest love Tor her.
How sweet" said She show sweet twould be
70 finger here amid these bowers,
Where every bush and every tree
Is fragrant with its sunny flowers
How sweet with him whom | could love,
10 kneel upon this grassy sod,
And, having turned our eyes above,
Pour out our soul in prayer to God;
Indeed il would be more than bliss
10 live thus In world like this !"
And in her eye the trembling light
Ot her pure spirit softly shone,
And her sweet face, before so bright,
A more angelic smile put on,
But, gazing up into the air
She saw a lone star twinkling there,
And knowing that the bright orb shOne
On none but those who'd strayed too far
From God and his eternal throne,
She blessed the glory -bGaming star;
And, kneeing on the green earth there,
Lifted her trembling hands to heaven,
And offered up feryent prayer,
That her crushed heart might be forgiven
And, ere the angel ceased TO speak,
The tears which had suffused her cheek
Fell to the earth and stilted the pain
Which had seized on her throbblng brain.
Poor cara. She was far away
From all that bright and joyous throng,
Whose lips were breathing day by day
An endless round of prayer and song
Yes, she who had been first each morn
To wake the harp around the throne,
Was now on earth, the most forlorn
OF all Gods angels and alone.
But he who saw his erring child
The moment she had feared TO err,
Beheld her now repentent, and smiled
That smile padon was 10 her,
And looking upward through her tears,
Which now were flowing faster still,
She said God, thou hast stilled my fears,
Ill 90 to thee, will, | will"
And bidding earth & long farwell,
She breathed, and did not brcathed in vain,
The dulcet word whose mystic spell
Should plume her wing to Haven again.
And where upon that fatal ground
The tears of her repentance fell,
A light of glory beams around
And renders Eden haowed still.

1.-THE MURMUR OF THE SHE'LL. u
BY HON. MRS. NORTON.

A sailor left his native land,
A simple gift he gave;
A sea-shell gathered by his hand,
From out the rippling wave;
Oh, love, by this remember;
Far inland thou must dwell,
But thou shalt hear the sounding sea,
In the murmur of the she'll
All, woe is me with tatter'd sail
The ship is wildly tost
A drowning cry is on the gale,
They sink-and all are lost
While happy yet untouched by fear,
Repeating his farweli,
Poor Mary smiles, and loves to hear
The murmur OF the shell.
The tidings wrecked her simple brain;
And smiling now she goes,
A mad girl-reckless of her pain
Unconscious of her woes;
But when they ring the village chimes,
That TOLD the lovers kneH,
She signs and says she hears at times
Death music in the shell.

THE Truth OF H1sToRY.-The Northern and

great stress Cat the South on the fugitive slave
bill-so that one would suppose it to be Wing
measure--when in fact both of the Northern wings
of the two parties with a few honorable excep-
tions either voted against or lodged this bill, as
the record proves.
In the Senate the vote on engrossment stood 81
to 12-but too Northern senators voting in the af
irmative, Messrs. Dodge and Jones of Iowa.
Not solitary Northern Wing senator for, but
both the Wing senators from Massachusetts,, and
other friends of the Administration voting against
lit. In the House, but three of the Northern
Wings for the bill, Elliot of Massachusetts,, Nc
Gaughery of Indiana, and Taylor of Ohio
Against the bill, ttty-seuen Northern Wings voted,
and others lodged These facts prove the worth
