TRUTH.-We never yet knew a
boy or a man who from early life
spoke truth and Stunned falsehood,
that was not virtuous in all other
respects, and who did not acquire
and enjoy the confidence and esteem
Of society. Truthiulness is one Of
the chief corner stones in a good and
respectable character. Young mani
never utter a falsehood; never be
tempted TO depart rom strict truth
in all you say. False words come
from false heart, and a false heart
breeds corruption that soon tainis
and spoils the whole character.

CHAPLIN TO BE DEMANDED.- The
Baltimore Patriot OF Thursday, ha.
the following: se rEe ..a-
"The bail which was given for
the appearance of Chaplin, before
the County Court, now sitting al
Ellicott's mills, to answer several in.
dictments, charging him with at.
tempting to kill, &c, has been for
leited. When the case was called
before the Court, Chaplin was not
there to answer. We understand
that the money will be paid by the
security, on proper demand. s..
The question now comes up, is
this man, or can any man, charged
with a criminal offence in this State,
be released from punishment, by pay
ing the forfeit OF bond which he
gave for his appearance to answer
the charge? OF course he cannot.-
The bail was for his appearance
not TO free him from trial. This
Chaplin is, therefore, now a fugitive
from justice, and will, we under
stand, be demanded by the governor.
We assume, Of course, that he will be
given up by the Governor of any
State, wherever he may be found
We assume this, because we would
not willingly believe that any Gov
ernor would be found faithless to his
duty and his oath of office, by refu-
sing TO give hin up. The associates
of Chaplin, however, seem to think
otherwise. We shall soon sc e
whether they are right in the esti-
mate they place on the Governor OF
the State where he is" . % -..

EXPENSIVE REvENGE.-The Troy
Wing says that a man named Nc
Daniels, OF Granville, Washington
county, N. Y, having had a person
al difficulty with the cashier Of the
Stark Bank, Of Bennington, collected
some $4,000 of the bills Of the bank
and demanded specie for them, in
the expectation. Of compelling the
bank 10 close its doors. In this he
was disappointed. The bank prompt
ly met the demand, and McDaniels
took his specie and left it in charge
OF a tavern keeper in the vicinity,
who says he placed it under his own
bed when he retired TO rest. In the
morning, it was missing, and all ef-
forts to find it have thus far proved
unavailing.

A PRAcTIcAL JoKE.-The Legisla-
ture Of Iowa recently passed law
prohibiting free negroes from enter
ing the State, under severe penalties.
A free soil member who did not like
the law, but knew its passage could
not be prevented suggested compro-
mise TO his bunker brethren, with a
view Of conciliating his free soil COM
rades. 1t was, that the bill should
be amended so that the law should
take effect "lrom and after its publi-
cation in the IOlUG Free Democrat, -
a prominent free soil paper. A ma
jority of both Houses adopted the
amendment without Suspicion
When we add that the law has not
yet taken effect, our readers will
hardly need to be told the reason
We are told that the editor OF the
Free Democrat was heard profanely
TO exclaim when The bill had passed,
that he would see the Legislature in
place not set down in any OF
the biographies, before he would
publish the internal law.

The Richmond Enquirer has taken
ground in favor Of the emigration OF
free blacks to Jamaica, and recon-
mends the imposition Of tax upon
this class oil population in Virginia,
to raise fund for their removal. 1t
hopes thereby 10 separate the, free
negroes from direct contact with the
slaves, aud to build up and attract to
Virginia the trade of Jamaica. Sim
liar views are entertained by other
influential Southern papers.
We are decidedly in favor Of any
scheme that promises good to the
Tree people Of color, and have no
doubt that they would consult their
interests by leaving the United
States and going TO Jamaica or Libe-
ria. We cannot agree with the
Richmond Enquirer, however, in the
humanity or policy Of imposing
tax on free negroes to raise a fund
for the removal OF those who are
willing to 60. 1t seems to US that
that would be a very small business
for the great State Of Virginia to en-
gage in. If she wishes to send her
free negroes to jamaica, and thus 10
build up the trade between Virginia
and that island, let her not conde-
scend TO impose a contemplate tax
on that class of population that is
least able TO bear it. Let her raise a
fund by taxing the wealthy for the
benefit of the State. We should
like to see the legislator who would
bill Of the kind advocated
by the Richmond Enquirer. Such a
Lycurgus would be worthy to be
embalmed, as Jeremy Bentham is
embalmed, that future legislators may
look at him and grow immensely
wise and wide sighted.-Lo~. JOar.

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-John q,
Whittier, the Quaker poet, in writing
about Irish Emigrants among US,
says
"For myself, | confess ] feel sym
pathy for the Irishman. | see him
as the representative of a generous,
warn-hearted, and cruelty oppressed
people. That he loves his native
land-that his patriotism is divided;
that be cannot forget the claims Of
his mother island; that his religion
with all its abuses is near TO him,
does not decrease my estimation Of
him. A stranger in strange land,
he is to me an object of interest
The poorest and rudest has a romace
in his history. Amidst all his appa-
rent gaiety of heart and national
drolIery and wit, the poor emigrant
has sad thoughts Of the 'ould mother
Of him. sitting lonely in her solitary
cabin by the bog side; recollections OF
a fathers blessing and sisters fare
well; that sister loved so devotedly;
are haunting him; a grave mound in
a distant courch ward, far beyond
the 'wide waters has an eternal
greenness in his memory; for there,
perhaps, lies "a darlint Child or a
sweet crather,' who once loved him;
the New world is forgotten for the
moment, blue Killarney and the Liffy
sparkle before him; Glendalough
stretches beneath him its dark slill
mirror; he sees the same evening
sunshine rest upon and hallow alike
with natures blessing the ruins Of
the Seven Churches OF Ireland's
apostolic age, the broken mound of
the Druids, and the round towers Of
the Phenician sun worshipers; beau
tiful and mournful recollections OF
home awaken within him; and the
rough and seemingly careless and
light hearted laborer melts into tears.
1t is no light thing to abandon ones
own country and household GODS.
Touchingly beautiful was the injunc-
ton of the Prophet Of the Hebrews:
aye shall not oppress the stranger,
ior We know not the heart o. the
stranger, seeing that We were stran-
gers in the land Of Egypt"

CHARITY.


Tell me, ye who dwell in splendor-
Ye whom fortunes smiles adorn,
Hast thou not, mid all thy treasure,
Means to wake some joy unborn?
Heaves there not for thee the sorrows
'gOf some stricken heart to heal!
Breaks there not on tiny sweet slumbers
Some lorn sufferers appeal?
Tell me, tho all pale and withered
Now their flowers of feeling lie;
Tho the autumn storm be gathered
On their summers fairer sky;
Tel me, tho their youth be faded
In the winter or old age; ~
And their brows with sorrow shaded,
Ye may still their cares assuage.
Tolls there not, in the wide desert
Of life's sad unvarying scene,
Some poor, weak, and fainting spirit,
Where no joy may intervene?
Oft in the dim vale of sorrow
Thou may'st find some heart to bless;
Thou may'st gild its bright tomorrow,
And relieve it of distress.
Lone and weary toll the lonely
Up misfortune's rugged steep,
And their hearts, tho beating slowly,
Watchward still with progress keep;
And when in the gloomy shadow
Daik misfortunes Ger them throws,
Then some kindly hand to rescue
May relieve them Of their woes.
Oft when darkness dim is stealing
Like death pail Ger their hearts,
Then have felt some strange revealing,
When their lighter hope departs;
And their lives, tho e'er retiring,
Virtue yields constant home;
And their thoughts, tho unaspiring,
In higher sphere would roam.
Then to ye on whom kind fortune
Hath bestowed her glittering stores;
It is thine TO raise their burden
And relieve them of their woes.
Thine, a holy mission, given
To exalt their being here;
Thine. to point their path to heaven,
And their dropping hearts to cheer.
God has Tiled thy storehouse freely
With the treasured things of earth,
And by all the hopes that cheer thee,
elFill place of lasting worth;
Then while life is lightly beaming,
And the light oi earth is thine,
While the heaven above is glowing,
May thy hearts to love incline.
