The Southern Lrdies Book.-We have recei-
we'd from the publishers the March number of
this excellent monthly. The Editress has made
a selection Of literary pieces, in this number,
which will well repay. perusal. We think the
Southern Ladies' Book such a publication az
deserves the support of the public in this Sec
ton, for it must be acknowledged that the
South is sadly deficient in literature. We do
not pretend that our fellow-citizens lack taste
for the literary and intellectual, but the limited
number of good periodicals published in our
neighborhood shows that great improvement
might yet be made for the cultivation and dis
semination of that taste.-DeAo.
We have likewise received the above Maga-
zine, for March, and earnestly recommend it to
the patronage of this community:

Negroes Hireing their Time.-This subject
is thus referred to by our neighbor of West
Baton Rouge:
We notice a very appropriate and truthful ar
ticle in the Southern Sentinel of a late date, in
reference to the very dangerous habit of some
slave owners, who allow their slaves to shire
their time;;" this is not only injurious to the hab-
its of a slave, but cruel, as it has a tendency to
make him commit offences which otherwise he
would have no opportunity of committing.
We would respectfully call the attention Of
planters to the fact, that, slaves are by SOM
means supplied with Whisky and we think it
would be we'll to notice those trading with ne
groes. ";

The Dead.-How little do we think of the
dead. Their bones lie entombed in all our
towns, villages ard neighborhoods. The lands
they cultivated, the houses they built, the works
OF their hands, are always before US. We ira
vel the same road, walk the same path sit at the
same freside, sleep in the same room, ride in
the same carriage, and dine at the same table,
yet seldom remember that those that once oc-
cupied those places, are gone-alas, for ever.
Strange that the living should SO soon forget
the dead, when the world is so full ofthe mon
uments of their lives!-Er. paper.

TRAINER CAsE-LAw TRIuMrHANr.

Judge BARCULo, yesterday morning at the City Hall in
Brookbn gave bis decision in this lODgcontesed case
very large and intensely interested audience was in
attendance
He accompanied his decision with written opinion,
which our readers will perceive, by reference to It,
replete with sound Law, noble and healthy sentiment
He took the child from Rose Porter aud awarded il
to the father.
His decision seemed to give universal satisfaction
1t had been arranged part Of the programme got up
by those opposing the claim of Trainer, that the child
should take on most sadly at being delivered over to
the friends of her father especially she had been told
they were going to shut her up and her. She
played the part very well while under the eye OF her
mistress but so soon as her her took her 10 his
arms and passed out she tranquil as a lamb, and
seemed happy in her restoration.
Thus ends this Negro Baby case; which, had
not the subject Of it been black and claimed by oitc
mistress woule have been disposed of IN hour fsom
the time of the service of the first writ.
We are happy to learn that the case decided on
high and independent grounds unaided by the Union
Safety Committee, unenlightened by the Empire
Club and unaffected by any fear OF dissolution of the
Union We believe vast majority of the clear heads
and honest hearts in the State viii respond the law
the sentiments and the decision of Judge BarculO
1t will teach rowdes hsrlots and demagogues that
even in New-York City, a colOred mans child cannot
be withheld from him with IMMUNITY.
Trener appears TO be respectable cOlored man. and
has unexceponable credentials from the Mayor Of No
bile. His wife, yirtuous, respectable, Christian
woman is a slave in that city. Such the laws OF
Alabama that Trainer and bis rescued child would be
exposcd 10 the loss of their freedom should they ret arm
thither. He is therefore making appeal for aid TO
buy his eDsaved wife and bring her 10 this State Who
will aid the poor fellow in such an undertaking.
