may, even thus late, lie pure and chaste, in the
mere physical sense of the term but to escape
she cannot Her fate must eventually be such
as Mrs. Baker S, or worse. If her hand be not
stained with the blood of those slain in defence
OF her honor, after she had already parted with
it by thought, look or conversation, an equally
sad end awaits her. Her offences will be mag
nifed to husbands ear-the foul tooth of ca
lumny will fasten itself upon her reputation,
and not cease to gnaw and feed upon the price
less treasure until it is all consumed. Then.
when she becomes an outcast from society. i'm
despair she for the first time takes the fatal and
final step, and all is over.
The man, Baker, who placed the pistol in the
hands of his wife, to do an act which he had
himself sworn to do at the altar, is beneath con-
tempt. If her honor was unjustly assailed, he
was its natural protector, SO long as be was
with her and witness of the outrage Had he
been absent, the case might have been different.
If he was careless of the consequences, one way
or the other, or had any reasonable doubts of
her integrity, he bemeaned himself by remain
ing with her, or having anything to do with
the affair.
All in all, there is mystery about this affair
which we hope will be unravelled AS matters
now stand, even with Mrs. Bakers statement
before US, and every syllable of it credited, we
cannot sympathize with her as deeply as many
OF our contemporaries

COMPILMENTARY.-Althou the following re-
solutions, complimentary to the officers of the
War Eagle, have been published in some of the
city papers, we deem it our duty to copy them,
even at this late day. In the hurried crowd of
other incidents of the excursion, we inadvert-
emily overlooked this one:

War Eagle, on her passage from Rock Island to
ST. Paul, on the 7th day of June, 1854, Profes-
sor Benjamin Sillman, of Yale College, was
called to the chair, and F. F. Marbury was ap-
pointed Secretary.

| sofa Packet Company. and to Capt. ID. S. Har-
ris, Commander. aud Mr.. W. s. Fawcette, Clerk
of the steamer War Eagle, for their marked
kindness and courtesy to us, the guests of the
Chicago and Rock Island Railroad Company,
on this excursion, for their thoughtful attention
to our wants and comforts.
The resolution was seconded by Rev. DR..
Spring. and adopted unanimously.
On motion of Mr.. John C. Hamilton, second
ed by the Hon. John L. Mason, it was
Resolred, That Committee be appointed to

this excursion as to the proper mode of express
sing their feelings and views in respect to the
great enterprise which is SO far accomplished

ing, were appointed such Committee.
The meeting was then addressed by Messrs.

W. 7. McConn and Professor Silliman, in terms

cursion had afforded them.

Gc- George Hilliard, an eminent lawyer of
Boston. and an adherent of the Compromise of
1850, at a recent meeting at Fancuil Hall, in
opposition to the Nebraska Bill, thus disposes
of the spccious plea OF the tyrants Of the South,
that they have right to carry their property
wherever they please:
"The Southern man may say, Il have as good
right to 60 with my property into the COM
mon territory of the Union, as you of the North
have to take yours This is merely begging
the question. The holding of slaves as proper
ty is nowhere recognized by the common law,
and the law must first be taken to the territory
before the property. We allow Turk to re-
side in Boston, but we would not let him have
four wives. We should welcome colonies OF
Hindoos among US, but we would not allow
them to burn a widow on Boston Common.
.Noac the right Of the South to carry siaoes into
the Territory in question rests on precisely the
same ground as that Of the Turks and Hin
docs to carry their natire customs"

10 The Springfield Republican, in COM
menting upon the subject ofthe Nebraska fraud
makes the following remarks:
"What then? First and foremost, an unre-
lenting war in the Free States upon all North
ern men who have participated in the deed, or
who have apologizcd for or defended it,. Death
to Doughfaccs! This shall be our rallying cry.
Let all true Northern men unite TO wage the
war of determination against those who have
sold their honor. violated the plighted faith of
the nation, and outraged the convictions of the
people, to purchase mess of pottagc! Let us
see if there is not North at last. When that
is secured, wrcstcd from political corruption,
and planted upon the honest popular will, then
can We study our duty to the Union and to
Slavery. But let the North bc freed first"

those who claim to be its leaders. and whatever
boast we may make of our excellent maxims of

TIE WHITE LAMB.

Once in a far country, for which you
might search all the biographies OF the
world in vain, there lived a poor woman
who had little daughter named Agnes.
That she was poor, and had a child, was
by no means wonderful; for poor people
are common in all parts Of the earth;
and so, for the matter of that, are chill
dren too; for which the good God can.
not be enough thanked.
not altogether like thousands who sur
rounded them, as shall show you in the
course OF my little story. For the moth
er was exceeding goodly, and the child
was exceeding fair, and goodiv, too, as
far as a child could be. Not that chill
dren cannot be as good, ay, and better
than most grown people; but in that
country they were bad and ignorant.
1t is true there were schools and acade-
mics there, and great colleges, time.
honorrd and worid.r-nowned;b but some.
how the people were no better, but on
the contrary rather worse, for all these
blessings. Whether they neglected good
or good neglected them, is not tor US to
inquire now; but certain it is tlfA the
greater part Of them grew up in ignor-
ance and vice. Now, thew need not
have grown up in vice, unless they had
preferred it to virtue; though the could
hardly have escaped lite OF ignorance.
There were many priests there to teach
them the folly of sin in this world, and
its eternal punishment in the next. They
were very energetic in picturing the
misery of sinners; but in spite of oil they
could say and do, they preached to thin
and careless congregations. in conse-
quence of which, many of their salaries
were unpaid from one years end 10 an.
other.
Most OF the men spent their Sabbath's
in bull batting and dog fighting; most of
the women in gaddng from house to
house with bud gets OF scandal; while the
children ran Oft to the woods to snare
birds and gather berries, and ottentimes
to fight out match made up the day
before. Black eyes were by no means
uncommon, with plenty more in per.
spective VIXEN those were healed.
This was the life OF the mass of the
people, though l am happy to say there
were many exceptions, in men, women
and children, vino went to the chapel,
as all good Christians should, and lived
up to the precepls of the good Book, as
all good Christians do; among whom
was the mother and child that began
to tell you about.
And not only did the good woman 90
to church on the Sabbath, and on all the
appointed holidays and ieasts, but she
endeavored 10 make her life perpetual
Sabbath unto the Lord. But the child,
because she was OF tender age, could not
always accompany her, nor understand
why she must always clasp her hands,
and kneel down in the pew, when the
vicar did the same in his little pulpit
But she was good child for all that, as
the story will show, and she loved her
mother with exceeding love.
When she was about three years of
ago, her mother died. Her death, how.

The Voice OF Autumn.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
There comes, from y"n1er height,
A soft repinin. sound,
Where forest leaves ARE bright
And fall, like fakes of light,
TO the ground.
II is the autumn breeze,
Thai, lightly floating on,
just skins the wec1y leas,
just stirs the glowing trees
And is gon".
He means by sedgy brook,
And visits, with a sigh,
The last pale flowers that look,
From Uut their sunny nook,
At the sky.
Ger shouting children flies.
That light October wind,
And, kissing cheeks and eyes,
He leaves their merry cries
Far behind.
And wanders on TO make
That soil uneasy sound
BY distant wool and lake,
Where distant fountains break
From the ground.
No bower where maidens dwell
Can win moments stay,
Nor lair untrodden dell;
He sweeps the upland swell,
And away!
Mourn'st thou thy homeless state,
oh soft, repining wind
That early seek'sl and late
The res, il is thy fate
Not to find
Not on the mountains breast,
Not on the oceans shore,
In all the East and Wesl:-
The wind that stops to rest
Is no more.
BY valleys, woods, and springs,
No wonder thou shoulast grieve
FoI all the glorious things
Thou TOUGHEST with thy wings
And must leave.
