plantation, in Florida. His name was familiar to
Abolitionists for many years, during which he was

OLD, SUcKERs.-Rev. Mr.. Chambers, 10 his
address to the ladies' and clergymen at Concert
Hall, Thursday afternoon spoke of visiting
.Taylors Saloon,' when in New York, and de-
cared it the splendid of all the saloons in the
:
world, and said he saw ladies there, with all the
bolduess imaginable, sitting with tunblers and
straws and though they have been ,peaned 80 or,
40 years, they wers sucking still. Rather ahard
hit on the ladies' of New York.
Mr.. Chambers is for excluding the ladies from
all places where they would meet with vulgar COM
pany; for instance drinking saloons, and Conveu-
tion platforms.-Iahil. Reg.

agonizing anxiety to pay to his poor remains those
holy rites immemorial time has haIlowed. His
blaekened name, his awful doom, the rope, the
scaffold. and the hangInans gripe cannot divorce
the victim from their affections and sympathies.
The sanctity of Christian burial heals the gaping
wound caused by violent and ignomnous death.
Who would rob the wretched Survivors of so poor
a consolation? Who would deprive them of a
home for their bitter tears! A turf to make
green with the dew of sorrow? Those who die
in the arms of their kindred, who are laid quietly
and regerenty in their x-feet bed of earth, with
the balm of prayer and praise, what matters it to
them IT their ssnctfed dust be made to add to the
glory of science and the good of man What
matters it to them, whether their bones moulder
beneath the clods of the valley, or bleach in the
sunshine of heaven? Friends never 90 to pierce

fold, said Wiley to himself, passing his hand over
his eyes to hide the triumphant malice of their
beams. : know it as well as if I had seen their

| We will leave Mordaunt to his own reflections
for when the door closed on Wiley, he suddenly
extingshed his lamp and wrapped himself in
darkness, with a mantle. The memories of
childhood rolled back in black flood, lashed into
pillows, drowning the joys of the present, the
hopes of the future, even the serene and holy light
of the Euening Star. could not disperse the thick
gloom that followed IN the wake of those cold
waters. 1t only made their shadows more ap-

Mordaunt's own nature was too bright and
sunny for that mysterious, spiritwo many are
doomed to feel; but the dark mountain, whose
shade had fallen on the green fields and fowery
vules of childhood. still loomed upon his sight,
through the dimness of distance and the mists of
time. s

A FREEMAN OF ROCHESTER TO BE SoLD FoR
JAIL FEEs.-Some twenty two years ago there
was born in this city TO John S. Bishop, colored
man, we'll known to our citizens as renovater of
clothing, son, whom he named after our still bet
ter known white fellow citizen, William S. Bish-
op, Esq. On Saturday last a letter was received
from the young man, stating that he is in Jail in
Louisville. KY, with postscript written by the
jallor, stating that he stands committed as fngi-
tive slave and that he has no evidence of his Free
dom. The jailor, who shows himself to be man
justice and humanity, writes in order that ev-
idence oflhe freedom of Bishop may be forwarded,
which of course will be done with all prarticable
dispatch. e.,5 F9 r3
We have no intention of violating any Of the.
compromises of the constitution - when we calf
the attention the reader to the fact, that ma
tive of this city. the of free parents, might
have been sold slave, for Jail fees, but for the
accident of his falling into the hands of keeper
who has had the humanity to give him an oppor-
tunity to prove his freedom, and procuring the
money required to pay for his detention.
We would be glad if the editor of some Louis
vile paper would inform us what sort of a docu-
ment man of color would have to be armed with
from this city, to secure him while navigating the
Ohio river. There is no process known to the
legal system of this State for certifying the title of
any of its citizens to their liberty. There are no

The con,,,,on, Lot.

Once in the fight of FACES past, .''
There lived man-and who was he?
Mortal howe'er Thy lotbe cast,
Fhat man resembled thee.
U known the region of lis birth,
The land in which he died unknown,
His name hath perished from. the earth,
This truth survives alone
That joy and grief and hope and fear.
Alternate triumph in his breast,
This bliss and woe. a smile, a tear!
Oblivion hides the rest.
The bounding pulse, the languid limb,
The changing spirits rise and fall.
We know that these were felt by him,
For these are felt by all.
He suffered--but his pangs are o'er;
Enjnyed-but his. delights are ffed
Had friends-his friends are now no more;
And foes-his foes are dead.
He loved-but whom he loved, the grave =,
,, Hath lost in its unconscious womb;
o she was fair! but naught could save
Her beauty from the tomb.
The rolling seasons, day and night,
Sun, moon, and stars, the earth and main,
Ere while his portion, life and light,
To him exist-in vain.
He saw whatever thou hast seen,
Encountered all that troubles thee,
He was-whatever thou hast been,
He is-what thou shalt be!
The clouds and sunbeams Per his eye,
That once their shade and glory threw,
Have left in yonder silent sky
No vestge where they fiew
The annals of the hnmnn race,
Their ruin since the world began,
Of him afford no other trace
Than this-rHERE LIVED MAN.

When Doctor Lewis had left the office, Nor

the table, pressed his forehead upon his hand,

masses over his brow. There was perfect silence

Wiley looked at the shadow and smiled then
