FooK HER FREEDoM.-The following facts are re-
hted in Frederick Douglass paper:
"A Shareholder, accompanied by his wife aud chill
dfcn, and having with him a female "chattel," was
-slsndiug few days at Niagara Falls. Wishing to
have a view OF the magnificent cataract from the
fritsb SIDE, he ventured upon the dangerous exper-
nispt7oi taking his "chdttet" in company with his
family on British soil. BY some strange if not in
scrunle agency-whether the birds of the air or the
grass beneath her feet whispered it, we know not
e chauet became aware that she no longer breath
ed the free air of the model republic" a secret which
she kept, with singular wisdom, until the time for ac-
ton arrived. Her MASTER DESTROYS to visit the battle
ground, aud 10 see the very spot "where the Yankees
logged the English" dismissed his family, accom-
hsfied by the chatel, to the American side while
lie gazed upon Brooks Monument and other famous
SITES IN that vicinity The slave safely deposited the
famy, it seems at the "Cataact" this DONE she made
hsr way to the ferry, took the small boat, and few
noble strokes of the ferryman's brought her in
saNiy over ile urbid waters to the Canada shores
so peedlg made her Way 10 thealoor of a respcc-
eihig coioTcd man, where she was immediately re-
teivad sheltered and protected.
lB The master soon received intimation of her flight
and ascertained her new abode and he proceeded
to the house and demanded an interview with her,
The woman very wisely preferred that the interview
should be held with partition between, lie upon the
ground beueath, she at the window above.

Harvesting Grain.

Mr.. FREAs lit would seem to be almost super
fluous mt this late day TO urge upon farmers the
Importance OF cutting grain before it becomes fully
wien @ the naMsE9us are ils
subject, and the very decided convictions expressed
by the most judiclous mers and grain dealers in
favor of early harvesting especially where the grain
is intended for bread making or fouring-there are
many who still adhere the old practice and will
by means allow their crops to be harvested till
the grain is fully ripe. Prejudice is teranfiical
master, and no class of the community appears to be
more fully under its control than own agrcultu-
raj class In New York, and indeed, in all the great
wheat-growing States, the practice of cutting this
grain before it is dead ripe, prevails universally
The exact time when it should be harvested, is now
with the grain-producing part of the community, no
longer matter of doubt or speculation; all being
fully convinced that the right period is indicated by
that change which the grain experiences when pass
ing from its milky state to that of complete hardness,
and when the Kernels without being "sticky" arc
yet not sufficiently hard TO resist the pressure Of the
thumb and finger. The arina of the grain being
perfected all that is necessary to render it fit for
Touring, is the hardening of the mass; and this it is
abundauty established, may well be perfected af-
ter the straw has been cut as before. Beside, grain
that is allowed to stand till is fully dead ripe,
makes darker flour, and is not so heavy it scattcrs
in harvesting, and does not command, in our mar
kets so ready sale, or so high price. The straw
of grain, when it is cut before perfect maturity
is af5o much more valuable il possesses degree of
succuence and saccharine sweetness which rem
ders it a good feed for stock a to which the
straw that has stood in the fields till it has become
dead perfectly matured, can never be applied.
have cut oats when tile straw was just turning
from its green to its golden hue, and have found the
grain as plump and full and far brighter in color
than that which stood in the field till ripe. The
straw of oats, when harvested early and properly
cured, is nearly as valuable for cattle feeding as the
best clover hay; and when chafled and mixed with
chopped roots or meal it makes feed eagerly par

TIIE RAINROW.
by MRS AMELIA Il. wELBY.

BY MRS AMELIA H. NEIbhs
I sometimes have thoughts in NV oneiest hours,
That lie on my heart like the dew the flowers,
or camille took one bright afternoon
When my heart was as iish' as blossom in June:
The green earth moist with The late fallen showers
The breeze nutiered down and blew open The flowers,
While single white cloud, to lis haven of rest
On the white wing OF peace ioaed of in the west.
As threw back my tresses to catch the cool breeze
That scattered the randrops and dmpled the seas,
Far apalhc blue sky a fair rainbow unroied
It's soft iincd pnions Of purple aud gold.
Twas bora in moment yet, quick its birth,
j. was stretched 10 The uticrost ends Of tie earth
And, fair angel il loaed as free.
With a wing on the earth and a wing on the sea.
How calm was the ocean! how gentle its swell!
Like woman's soft bosom it rose and it fell;
While its light sparkling waves stealing augbingly DER,
When they the fair rainbow knelt down the shore
Nosweei hymn assembled no murmur Of prayer,
Yet felt that the spirit Of worship there
Aud bent my young head in devotion and love,
Meath The form of the angel that foated above.
How wide was the sweep Of its beautiful wings!
How boundless its circle how radiant its rings
Ii looked on The sky, twas suspended in air;
If looked on the ocean, the rainbow was there;
Thus forming girdc, as brilliant and whole,
As the thoughts of the rainbow that circed my soul:
Like the wings of the Deity calmly unfurlcd.
Ii bent from the cloud and cncirccd the world.
There are moments think, when the spirit receives
Whole volumes Of thought lis nnwriIten leaves;
When the folds of the heart IN moment unclosc,
Like the innermost leaves from the heart of the
And thus when the rainbow had passed from the sky,
The thoughts ii awoke were too deep to pass byj
II left my full soul, like the wing of a dove,
All nutering with pleasure, and futtering with love.
| know that each moment Of rapture or pain
But shonens the links in liles mystical chain;
! know that my form, like that bow from the wave,
Must pass from the earth and lie cold in the graves
Yet oh! when deaths shadows my bosom cncloud,
When shrink at the thought of the coffin and stroud,
May HOPE, like the rainbow my spirit unfold
in her beautiful pinions Of purple and gold.

Sir ESaac Newton.

III the middle Of the seventeenth century, there
was an English boy of mean and dnnulvc APP
pearance, and behind all the other boys Of his age
He was constantly ut the foot of his class aud verify
it was believed that this boy would only become II
bunger of kind, for surely the soul oflearnlng
was not in him. But AT the age of twelve change
.was wrought in the character and fortune of the
T-1s Nd gaTIfcd ~ ttucher aud schoolmastefh rs an
inferior. AT this time alteration took place be-
tween this backward boy and the one above him i'll
the -wlereupon the latter gave him very I'M
pleasant kick in the stomach. The pride of the boy
was outraged-revenge is swcet-bnt he was too
weak to cope with his opponent physically. How
then shall he be hunlbled? ALI, an idea--a splendid
conception-he resolved to surpass him in study get
above him in the class and there remain, to look
down upon his enemy and clip from him the laurcs
he now vainIy wears This will be triumph
worthy Of mention--peaceably got, none the less
glorious-a revenge that physical giants might envy
lie resolved, and accomplished; became a most de-
voted scholar commenced career OF glory; and
Sir Isaac Newton appeared with the key to unlock
the mysteries Of notion and to draught Il truer chart
of the stupendous Universe

Esqp giving the following account of the most note
worthy strengthening that has ever been Witnessed.
so far as we know, in Vermont The animals have

is the letter:
great strengthening came off at Messrs Bing-
hams, in Orwell ON Tuesday last, inlay 3d. in the
presence of 200 people, who came from the towns
around about to witness the wonderful result of the
new improvement in sheep. And it was wonderful:
Nothing Of the kind has ever been heard of in the
United States 1t a complete refutation of the
cahlmnies Of short-sighted "seven by nine" wool
growers, who are jogging in the old way content
With small sheep, and small feeces and small prices
Many who came doubling whether all could be true
that they had heard, went away satisfied that, like
the Queen of Sheba, "tle half had been told"
These sheep were imported by Mr.. fainter, of
Hartford, Ct being purchased nlFfance very great
prices,--and called French Merinos" They

that were sheured on Tuesday last with the amount
sheared, in the presence of the large company that
assembled to witness the operation. One Buck had
been sheared previous, at ten months growth-live

during the last sixteen months.

Another Band of Outlaws.

The Shawneetown (ll) Advocate of the 9th ult.j
contains an account of the breaking up of gang of
freebooters, and the ofseveral whose combna
ton was but little less than that which lately Gre
ated so much excitement in Michigan Their head
quarters were on Wolfe's island Kys near the corr
ner the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois aud
Missouri. The band was discovered not long since,
through the failure of an attempt by one OF the ring
leaders TO murder DR. Swayne, who had recovered
Judgment for some $4,000 against Newton r..
Wright another prominent member OF the gang.
I'm Nav 1850 Wright gave Abe Thomas man of
deperate character $50 TO kill Dr. s. Accordingly,
Thomas, pretending to wish the Doctor to visit hls
sick tather enticed him from home and attempted
10 murder him: but the Doctor, after being shot III
the arm gave the aurn and the desperate escaped.
Notwithstanding every exerton was made 10 ferret
out the villain, so deeply the plot laid that he
was only accidentally discovered short time ago
and his discovery led TO the disclosure OF the Whole
affairs of the company. ~
They seem to have made regular business OF
stealing slaves in one State, running them Oft 10 an
other, and there selling them. AnotherS Of their
methods of specializing in negroes seems 10 have
been as follows: Some of their emssarles would
make tour through some of the neghboring Slave
States, enticng slaves TO run away and providing
their victims with get into SoutheFp Illinois.
Arrived there, the fugilves were arrested by others
of the gang on the lookout for the runaways hcti-
tious claims to them then SET up, and manain'
ed by false testimony and perjury. The slaves were
then taken into one of the Slave States and sold.-
} They carried another species OF swndllng upon
an extensive scale, by means OF fictitious claims a
gainst estates of deceased persons. Having forged
\ for large amounts against such estates, they would
n prove the validity of the claim by some Of tle'
gang IN some they had gone so far as to take
g depositions. aud were provided with County seal'
IS and everything requisite to give their proof the sem
blance of legality 80 -+s Ts'''

Wool growers WHO wish TO improve their sheep
can now make up their minds on the relative merit
of the different Breeds and govern themselves ac-
cordingly. The great West, ever ready to keep up
with the times, has already paid her hundreds Of
thousands for these French Merinos, and the coun-
try is being enriched and benefited by them Long
live the men who have had the enterprise and noble
daring TO make this Improvement; and especially
Nernonters, who, with commendable spirit, have
at great risks, encouraged the importer, John A.
