had Lewis to refuse obedience to his masters
summons? None; not the least; and the laws OF
Mississippi do and have always justified the shoot
ing of slaves under similar circumstances. The
cruelty to his white wife is the feature which calls
for Mississippi interference. AS to trial for MUIR
der, it will be mere sham. There is no instance
on record of master being convicted ofmurder in
the first degree for killing slave. but plenty of
precedents for finding such murder a just6able
homicide on the ground of necessary chastise-
ment for disobedence.
This fend will of course be cleared on the
ground OF insanity, and he was evidently insane
just as Nero or as Cagula. 1t is the insanity of
cultivated cruelty, born and bred of irresponsible
power. This wretch did not reach such a pass in
wIckedness by any sudden transformation. Tho
whole transaction shows furious course of devil
ism; but who shal! tell the antecedent horrors
which taught the poor slave woman to obey the
mandate which made her target fer his knife;
the wife, that she must be his messenger, and
Lewis TO disobey his order at the peril of life
They did not adj learn The lesson in day or hour,
and the previous horrors of that plantation could
be laid bare to the pubic eyes. Simon Legree's den
would be cast into the shade.-Pitsjufgh Sasuf.

RlgEyNA, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY l6. 1853.
Tie wall of a sorrowin. mo,her.

TE.e wall of IA Sorrowing Mother.
The poem annexed, relates TO distressing event
which is still fresh in the recollection of the pub
lie. Itis the production if we mistake not, of ar
author whose name is honoured wherever Amer.
ican literature is known -
He was my only boy!
A gem within the casket of my heart,
Priceless and precious the gush of joy
That from its fountains start.
How has the sikeu cord
OF my unspoken lave been round him thrown,
Binding to pure affection ev'ry word
And smile his lip hath known.
Day after day his foot,
Fleet with the li;heuess of unfettered YOUTH
Came to my ear soft as the tuneful Lutte,
Or spice-wnd from the south.
But, 0, he comes not now!
His joyous step and merry laughing eye,
And the pure radiance of his sunny brow,
Were things of earth, 10 die.
Death, TO the gentle child,
Came not with whispered accents, such as blen
Sometimes with angel forms, whose faces mild
Above the death couch bend.
The living wreath Of Fame.
Twined by nation for his sire to wear,
Withers to dust,-and GIorys proud acclaim
But shafpens my despair.
The glare of earthly pomp
Fades like meteor in star-lit sky;
And the loud peal of Honol . clarion trump,
Is passed unheeded by.
The lOfiiest seat of earth
Shrinks as shriveed scroll before the fire
That desolates my humble homestead hearth
With anguish deep and dire.
Give me thy help, o God!
La this my hour of grief and fearful wo;
Teach me to bow beneath thy chast'nipg rod,
And stay the tears that flow.
For his dear sake, whose heart
Is gashed and bleeding by the bitter stroke,
Help me to cheer his childless path, nor part
The ivy from the oak.
l know my bright eyed boy
Is nesting in the lovely Saviol's breast;
1 hear him join The swelling song of joy,
| In that sweet world of rest.
Then cease, my heart, thy wall,
Here be thy anchor from the storm of grief,
Let His unfailiug promises prevail,
And prayer be my relief.
