SIR: Reading last night in your excellent
paper the speech of Mr.. Jackson, in Con-
gress, against their meddling with the affair
Ot slavery, or attempting TO mend the con-
dition OF the slaves, II put me IN mind Of n
similar one made about one hundred years
since, 10y Sid Mehenet lbralim, member
of the Divan of Algiers, which may be
seen in Martins account of his consulship,

tiiion of the sect called Erika, or Purists,
who prayed for the abolition OF piracy aud
slavery, ns being unjust. Mr.. Jackson does
not quote il; perhaps lac has not seen il. II,
therefore, some of its reasonings are to he
found in his eloquent speech, it may only
show thnt mems interests and intellects op-
ernte aud are operated on with surprising
similarity in all countries mud climates, when
ever they are under similar circumstances.

DISTANCE AND MOTION.

Did you ever creep gingerly up to the deck of a
railway car, when the train was moving, say twenty
five or thirty miles an hour? And did you look
away on beyond the train, where the two iron bars
that noblest couple in the great epic of the time
we're welded lovingly together without hammer, or
furnace, fire, but just beneath the wonderful in
visible fingers Of Distance, till they lay there, n
huge upon the bosom of the prairie? And how

bars swnyed round to parallel, as lightly and
noiselcssly rs a brace of sun-beams, flung from n

THE ANTI-sLAvERY BUGLE.


And her reasons were ready, for she had thought
it over.
ave, poor children" said she, "can't go to the
Ward Schools because we arc ragged and poor, and
our fathers and mothers arc drunkards."
The Missionary was forcibly struck by the inter
csting question and the reason upon which it was
urged, and instantly answered.:
You may have school, Maggie !, go carry the
news TO the children, and tell them that such
day, will open a school for them"
With heart overlooking full of glad emotion,
she bounded away to carry the news to the garrets
and cellars, alleys and lanes, and secret hiding
places of this dessolate region; and well it was
received, for when the day arrived the room was
filed with ragged and barefooted children.
The school thus originating has continued ever
since, and now numbers more than two hundred
pupils, with an average attendance of one hundred
and fifty.
In its general appearance and the progress of
the classes the school will hold an honorable COM
parson with any school in the city, made up of
similar materials.
Little Maggie proved to be bright, and became
quite an intelligent girl. She learned to sing
sweetly.
Her father and mother had been drunkards for
forty years. She induced Mr.. Pcase to 90 and see

WASHINGTON'S WEALTH-THE MOUNT
VERNON ESTATE.

The following extract is taken from an old book
published by Russell & West, Boston. in the wear
1900, entitled "Washington's Political Lcgacics, /"
and dedicated by the editors to Mrs. Martha Wash
ington:
General Washington was at one time probably
ono Of the greatest land-holders in the United
States. His annual rcceiptfom his estates amount
ed in lIOG to four thousand pounds sterling. His
property, at the same period was estimated to be
worth one hundred and sixty thousand pounds
sterling, whichis very largo sum in federal money.
md was considered o very great fortune at that
early day in this country for any onc'man to possess
:" His estate ut Mount Vernon alone was computed
in l7S7 to consist of nine thousand acres of land
of which enough was in cultivation to produce in
single year, ten thousand bushels of corn and seven
thousand bushels of wheat. In a succeeding year
he raised two hundred lambs, sUwcd twcnty-scvcn
bushels of llaxsccd, and planted seven hundred
bushels of potatoes. lie dessted it was said from
planting tobacco, which was then extensively raised
in Virginia, for the purpose of setting an example,
by employing this extensive means in the introduc-
ton and fostering of such articles of domestic use
and necessity would ultimately tend to the best
advantage of his country. His domcstics, Mt the
same time, were industriously employed in manu-
fucturing wOolen cloth and linen in sufficient guam
titles to clothe his numerous household which
numbered nearly one thousand persons"

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.

On Monday last, whilst some hands on the Gin
clnnati, Wilmington and GAINESVILLE Railroad at Gu
sacks Mill, about five miles south of this city, were
quarrying stone, n human skeleton was found
embedded in rock, on bluff bank ON the south
branch of Jonathan's creek, thirty feet from the
surface. small fssure in the rock of about two
inches in width opened to the resting place of these
remains, which, in all human probability, may have
been deposited there centuries ago. The rock con-
tanned an indcntation of the greater part of the
body, as perfect though moulded of potters clay
From the hip to the foot, particularly this sarcoph-
agus was as complete as carving could have made
it. The proportions, curvatures, &C., of the limb
were distinct and regular, and indicated that the
skeleton had been that of a person of full size.
How, and at what period of the world these re-
mains were deposited whore found, furnishes wide
theme for conjecture, as well as a subject for th,
discussion of geologsts. The rational probabilities
are that at very ancient period this BODY had
been washed from the creek into tho bank of the
stream, and that the continual depostes of sand
around formed it into rock which has been increas-
ing for ages, MS ages only could have formed the
immense amount of very hard sand stone which
surrounded it,
This discovery establishes what past history has
hitherto failed to establish, viz: TIE phenomenon
OF human skeleton within body Of solid rock.
We have no hesitation in believing from the an
pearance of the rock that at period the portion
surrounding this body was entire and solid but that
the undermining of the rock by the stream or some
great convusion of nature, has opened the 6ssure
which existed when these remains were dseoyored
we saw this skeleton and the rock from which il
was taken, the day after it had been discovered
The bones were in good state of preservation.

Memory with spcctrcs fingers
Scatters torn flowers DER what hath been.
FGgiclds Cla,
FAREWELL if this be only
A lightly spoken word,
Why should the heart be lonely
As u mate-forsaken bird
If its meaning be not deeper
Than its simple sound would seem,
why should it haunt the sleeper
And mingle with his dream?
have heard it lightly spoken
With u smile upon the lip,
When chance or change had broken
Some casual fellowship.
1t was kindly, coldly given,
As arc the forms of men,
But no sacred tics were rivcn,
No hearts were sunder'd then.
have heard it-and my bosom
Like an echo made reply,
When hope had left the blossom
OF early love to die.
When thy tears, fond one were starting
From an eye of love and mirth,
Thou vast an angel parting
With weary son of earth.
Whom watching stars were DER us,
And earth had passing charms,
And the water ran before us
With the moonlight in its arms
We had watched the suns rich setting,
And the meek night coming on,
When the tints of days bcgctting
Stole backward from the dun.
We spoke Of natures glory
But our thoughts were far away;
gave an ancient story,
And thou IN ancient lay;
But the thoughts of our last meeting,
OF the passionate farewell,
OF the effort at forgetting,
Was round us like a spell.
Thou vast leaning on my bosom
A fond condding child,
a bright and unchecked blossom,
Born where the sunbeam smiled.
Thy hand in mine was thrilling,
Thy cheek was pressed to mine,
Tears-many tears wore filling
Those starry eyes of thine.
Tcarfully then we parted,
In the utmost hush of even,
When above the weary hearted
Looked tcarfully the heaven,
And II long farewell was spoken
Which thy heart might not forget,
have lost full many token,
But that is living yet.
'Tis a loved page in my story,
A sun-ray in my dream,
Turning TO rainbow glory
What else would darkness seem.
Though darkly memory givcth
Its visions of the past,
Yet while that picture liyeth
would that it might last.

VALUE OF IIoNEsTY.-An old trader among the
Northern Indians, who had some years ago estab-
lished himself on the Wisseya, tells a good story,
with moral worth recOllectng about his first trials
of trading with his red customers. The Indians,
who evidently wanted goods, and had both money
(which they called shuneuh, and furs, Aocked about
his store, and examined his goods, but for some
time bought nothing. Finally, their chief, with a
large body Of his followers visited him. and accost-
ing him with "How do, Thomas; show me goods /;
| take four yards calico, three coonskins for yard,
pay you by'mby-to-morrow," received his goods
and left Next day he returned with his whole
band, his blankets stuffed with coonskins. Gamer
lean man, pay you now;" with this he began
counting out the skins until he had handed him
over twelve. Then, after moments pause, he of
tered the trader one more, remarking, as he did it,
that's it," 81 handed it back" said the trader,
telling him he owed me but twelve, and would
not cheat him. We continued t. pass it back and
forth, each one asserting that it belonged to the
other At last he appeared to be satisfied, gave
me scrutinizng look, placed the skin in the folds
OF his blanket stepped TO the door and gave yell,
and cried with loud voice. Come, come, and trade
with the pale face, he no cheat Indian; his heart
big.' lie then turned to me, and said: You take
that skin, l tell Indian no trade with you-driye
you OFF like dog--but now you Indians friend,
and we yours Before sundown was waist deer
in furs, and loaded down with cash. So / lost
nothing by my honesty"
