MY CHILDHOOD

BY ZELIo GERTRUDE GREY.
When, on a summers eve, reclining
Where the glittering stars are shining
On the flowers,
Thoughts steal to me Of my childhood
When wandered through the wildwood
Happy hOursD
With two little dark-haired brothers.
What cared we for joys Of others,
In our play
In the proud oak lightly swinging,
While our merry laugh was ringing
Careless, gay!
Where the brook ran through the meadow,
Where the blue clouds threw their shadow
On tho hill,
OF we strayed, while thoughts were given
Outright angels, God, and Heaven
Como they still
Lingering where the wild brook gushes,
Braiding green the trembling PUSHES,
Singing low
Sweet words taught us by our moiheri
Bearer they than any other,
Even now.
All! they had pleasant dawnng-
Those bright hours Of Life's sweet morning
Skies were clear
But a cloud has dimmed the vision
OF my childhood, sweet Elysian;
All is drear.
Shadows all around are falling
While to my heart, each scene recalling,
Memory
Whispers of the bright ideal;
While | turn to Liie's stern real
Tremblingly.

asking that persons bound TO service shall moi
be released by the Legislation Of other States Il
which they may escape There is not the
slightest objection to that if anybody asks il. ,
10 finally getting this uncouth clause int
shape the word illegally" crept into it-per
| sons legally held to service Sc, and it was
| struck out, as Mr.. Madison says, din compli
ance with the wish of those who thought the
word legal equivocal, and favoripg the idea
that slavery was legal in a moral view
This incident is proof that the Convention
was well aware that the clause was intended
by those who proposed it, to apply to fugi
tive slaves and also that the Convention was
resolved that nothing in its language should
give the slightest sanction to slavery. And
they undoubtedly succeeded in this. They
passed u provision which granting that il
could be applied to fugitive slaves-was care.
fully 80 worded that no recognition of the legal
right of slavery should be deduced from it, but
which, in its plain purport, in any Just inter
probation of its words, applied only to another
class of fugitives who then existed, and whose
case had been brought distinctly before the
Convention, by one OF the very movers of this
claim.
What is the inevitable inference from all
this II is that those who drafted the Consti-
tuition, and presented it to the people for adop-
ton, purposely kept Its provisions pure from
the kidnapping crimes distinctly refused to
give authority to re-enslave any one, but at
the same time were aware that the slavehold-
crs intended to pervert a certain provision to
this infamous purpose. The probability is,
that nine out of ten Of the people who adopted
the Constitution never dreamed that the harm
less clause about fugitives from service would
or could be so perverted, o. they would not
have adopted it, However this may be, if the
intentions Of the Convention could give to the
language legal force unnatural TO it, it is
perfectly certain that those intentions at worst
only amount to this that the Shareholders
might, if they would, avail themselves of the
fugitive servant clause, while slavery lasted (;
but, as they supposed that they had already
doomed slavery to extinction in the decade
which should succeed sos, they had no inten-
ton that the United States, Ingraham, ALBERT,
& Co, should kidnap under it, at the public ex-
pense, in 1853. AS a matter Of history, nobody
did re kidnap under that clause till about 1926,
although law was put upon the statute-book,
in 1893, under which it might have been done,
and was done after 1925 That law was not
passed rs practical matter, because it was
called for. A law in regard to fugitives from
Justice tcas called for, and while the Committee
were about it, they thought they would do up
the work for fugitive servants, just as the
Scotch gardener, when he had imprisoned a
rogue in the garnet of his lodge, and saw him
looking out of one of the two windows, put his
son up there to look out at the other, just to
preserve the symmetry.

LET THE TREE BE JUDGED BY ITS FRUITs.-
The Burlington (Vt) Courier says that last
year, when the present jailer took charge of
the Jail, there were seven in its cells and that
there have since been, at different times thirty
others. But now, since the Vermont Maine
Law has had time to produce its legitimate eff.
fects, locks and keys are useless, as the Jail is
without tenant This is the third Jail in Yer.
mont which has been emptied by the new pro
hibitory liquor law, and the editor very prop

liquor peoples jails-prohibiting its sale emp
ties them. And it is in the power Of the peo-
pie to say which they will have"
