An EVentful History.

&. i. ClarksOn, formerly editor Of the
Indiana American, who is now travelling
IN tennessee, narrales the following story
in letter published in the BrockvilIe
(lnd) Democrat
Let me recite to you true history Of
man whose farm we passed over yester-
day. About fifteen years ago Presby-
terrain clergyman of New York had away
war2 son. We have had his name and
location, but choose to withhold them at
present. Before he WAS seventeen he be-
came SO reckless and uuruly that his faith
er could no longer control HIM. lie LETT
for the wicked aud corrupt city Of New
York, where he became clerk in drink
ing saloon, but his character WAS too bad
to be retained there. lie next WAS bar
keeper in theatre, but was dismissed
lie went lower and still lower, until he
slept in empty cellars and on the wharves
of the cit7, a perfect nuisance and a dis
grace to his race.
At this stage of his career an old COL
ege mate-for our hero was graduate
Of one of the best colleges in the State of
New Gork-determined that he would
hunt him up and make one more effort
to save him. He went to New York, and
after a week, diligent search, with the aid
OF the police, he found him. He washed
and clothed him, took him back to the
country, and 10y every inducement that
could he held out to him, persuaded him
to Try to he man. lie made the effort,
and was successful. Tie friend who
sought him out, and who saveh him we
are we'll acquainted with. They both de-
lcrnincd to come to Tennessee to teach
school. They soon reached here, and
with high recommendation they brought
soon obtained good places.
The reclaimed son OF the Presbyterian
clergyman, within six months after the
arrival, married an orphan girl worth
$4,000 in cash. She had a youn ger sis
ter and brother, who each had eqna
amounts. The sister ,on after died, leav
ing one half of her estate to our hero
and lis wife, the other half to her brother
and thus increasing his estate to 100000
When The Mexican war broke out tn
brother enlisted, and made a will, leavin.
all his estate to his broiher-in law (on
hero) and his wife, in case he never re
turned from the war. He, like man
more Of noble youths, was killed at Buen
Vista, Thus our hero came into posse.
sion Of the entire estate Of the tamil,
which at first was &l20,o0O, which hs
increased by advance OF lands and il
crease Of negroes 20 over 100000. II

for the words of truth which had found
iodgment in their minds. To see and
acknowledge the duty of forgiveness was
to soften their hearts towards their crripr
child. And now the mothers spirit be,
gan to have realizing perception Of the
unhappy life that awaited her daughter,
united As she was to one who possessed
not, IN her cstlm ,tion, single attribute
OF genuine manhood. Yearninc love fol-.
lowed the motions of pity. Forgiveness
became spontaneous. And when she
spoke to her husband, it was in cntreaty
Tor the absent one. He received her words
in silence; but his heart did not r.icc,
them.
How changed WAS all! From the lips
"f MIR. Edwards fell no harsh and denun.
clatory language, from his brow had pass.
ed the deep lines of stern anger or fiery
Indignation. And tears no longer fiIieJ
the eyes or g!istenel on the cheeks of Mrs.
Edwards-in her tranquil face the an.
gn'sh of II hopeless sorrow was not seen.
Truthful words, though harshly sounding,
had been far better for them than weak
sympathy or idle fears.
Hhd now ih"y were in letter state to
meet the great sorr and dsappoint-
mcn; of their lives, and t. extract from
tn" cup both they aud their child would
he called to drink whatever If sweetness
yet mingled in the bitter ro,ion.
The marriage of Lucy Was not wise
one. II involved SO many incongruous
elements that happiness, in her new rcIn-
ton, was thing impossible Yet, in the
forgiveness of her parents Gnd in their
tn'lrr sympathies she fund a strength

duties. from which, but for this, she would
have m'n,ed ;.nd fallen hv the way.
Anger towards the crring and the dis
ohedient springs from selfish feeling

out Of itself, aud blesscss all upon whom
it desires blessing.

ESCAPE FROM THE "SIsTERHoOD' AT
EMATsBURG, MARYLAND.-We find the
following statement III the Frederick En-
amner:
Miss Josephine BunkIey, novice, who
had not completed her probation, escaped
from the Ssterhood at EnmiLsburg, about
three o'clock on the morning of the 10Th
instant She is the daughter of Joseph
Bunkley, Esq, of Norfolk, Va, Protes-
tan, who took her under his protection
through this city, on Wednesday last, on
their way home. The circumstances uf
Miss Bunkley's unlawful detention and
escape therefrom, rs detailed to several
of our citizens by her father, were as fol.
lows Since becoming u novice, she has
been doing duty at St. Joseph's Seminary,
rs teacher of music, DC, for the last
ten months. Some months since, how
ever she repcnted of her connection with
the Sisterhood, expressed desire to re-
turn To her home, and wrole to her father
to that effect. The letter was torn up be-
fore her eyes, and she WAS compelled to
write in different strain, declaring her
satisfaction and contentmcnt with her stu.
alton.
Tbs last mentioned letter deceived her
father; while the deception WAS confirm

tcrreIurned unopened. Aware, at length,
that she WAS prisoner, Miss Bun ley de
term ned to escape, and Oh the morning
above named, succeeded in etfectng her
liberty, hy climbing through sash over
door, and thence into the yard. Her
movements were overheard 10y the watch

The FAiR.--The results of our Salem Fair can
not be counted by thousands like those cf Boston,
Philadelphia and Cincinnati; but considering the
population Of our village, the number Of persons
engaged in it and the comparative wealth of our
community, we think it highly successful effort
To little handful Of friends in Salem it has cost
much anxious care and labor amid discouragcmcn;s
and difficulties. For some cause best known to
themselves, some Of our anti-slavery communities,
near by did nothing for its success. They were
not present to encourage, or to purchase, nor did
they send any contributions for the tables. Had
they come up promptly to the work and co-opera-
ted heartily with those who were earnestly labor
ing, the receipts would have been much augmented,
and the means for carrying on anti-slavery labor
most dcsiraby enhanced. We hope for better
report from them hereafter.
1t seems TO us decidedly one Of the easiest and
most unol ljccionable methods Of raising material
aid for the cause, provided the friends generally
will cooperate in it. Friends can contribute OF
whatsoever they have Everything useful is ac-
ceptable and sacable Others who want family
supplies, or articles of fancy, can there procure
them at reasonable prices, and the profits Of the
sale 60 to the furtherancc of our common cause
What is to hinder this cooperation, we do not
see.
The expenses Of the fair this year, according to the
report of the Secretary, may seem unusually high.
1t is proper to say that considerable part of that
amount was paid for goods received and sold on
commission. We hope that next year the libcrali-
ty Of antislavery friends will utterly preclude the
necessity of this measure, as it greatly diminishes
the profits of the fair. The actual expenses were
small.
"MoRE RADIcAL."-The Forest City Democrat
has very fair summary Of Gerrit Smiths political
position, which it says Mr.. Smith demonstrated
by unanswerate logic" at the Pittsburgh conven-
ton. 1t admits that this creed is "much more
radical than that of Free Sellers generally"
1t adds:
"Upon these great truths Mr.. Smith has planted
his flag; and he will make the slave power quake
to its foundation. lie deals in no Compromises "
resorts to no temporising expedients, but goes
straight to the fountain head Of fundamental prn
ciples, and strikes his harpoon or truth into the
vials of error. Consequences are left to- take care
of themselves"
Will not the Democrat if such are its convic
tions, come right forward and help directly ant
positively, to bring the Free Soil party to thi'
"more radical" position. 1t will be worth more
to freedom than any number of fused votes
Tue MoRMoNs.-Governor Young's address OF
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1854-01-07

THE MoRNoNs.-Governor Young's address on
the last page to-day exhibits the character of the
rule to which the saints are subjected. lie talks
with more energy than elegance. Strange that
such a man should control intelligent and intel
lectual men and women. That his energy shoul
retain the control of the ignorant by means oi
superstition and other aids, is not so wonderful.

THE MARTYR KAUFMAN.

Our readers who would learn the facts relative
to Mr.. Kaufman, to whom the following letter re-
fers, will please refer to the last Buge The letter
is copied from the Liberator.
SALEM (Col. Co.. Ohio, Dec Is, 1858.
MY DEAR FRIESD-I have been thinking great
deal of the case Of DANIEL Kaufman. cannot
get it out Of my mind. 1t seems TO me that some
thing should be done to save him from being redu-
ced to want was not present when the subject
was named in the meeting. or should have propos-
cd subscription on the spot. Will you please put
down my name for ten dollars? If a hundred peo-
pie will subscribe ten dollars each will subscribe
second ten dollars. l know that many Of the
Anti-SlNvery friends are poor, and also know
that many calls are made on then; still, we can
meet the case before us, and hope we shall do so.
l wonld not let the pro-slavery monsters have the
pleasure Of thinking that they have either ruined
man for harboring fugitive or frightened others
from initiating his example. If | were rich / feel
as if it would be pleasure to bear the whole cx-
pcnse cntaied on friend Kaufman and his associ'
ates; but am not. Besides, l want to give as
much help to the cause of freedom here in the
West rs / can / hope, therefore, the friends OF
freedom and righteousness will help friend Kauff-
man over his difficulties, and let the prosecutors Of
the good and noble see that their power to crush
and kill is not great they prone to think it,
My love to all the friends of freedom. think
Of our Philadelphia meetings with great delight.
The cause Of truth and freedom is advancing, and
if We Abolitonists are wise enough to respect the
claims of truth and freedom in each other it will
continue to advance. But we must have no gag
ging. We must tolerate no attempt to stiAe the
sodlike spirit in any one. The fears lest freedom
Of utterance in any meetings should injure the
cause are groundless. The danger is more on the
other side True policy as we'll as fervent charity
will be nobly daring. 1t is bad policy as well as
selhshncss, to move or stand still in dread of oppo-
ncnts or tcmporisers.
But let me not provoke controversy. 1t is
friend Kaufman that want helped Raise him
one or two thousand pounds and can be comfor-

JOSEPH BARKER.
