Hope and Despair.

The two went out for walk one day,
But they couldn't keep long together,
For Despair full soon had commenced her tun'
OF grumbling about the weather.
But Hope roamed still over heath and hill,
And low to herself kept humming:
"Thoush..th the way be drear / have nought II
There's better time a-coming." fear
Despair sat down in faded gown,
And she looked both. lean and lazy;
And tits said that they who chanced that way
Declared she had gone crazy.
But Hope went dressed in her very best, =
/ And her soft sweet voice kept humming:
"Though fortune frowp, am not cast down,
There's better day a-coming."
The sun shope out, but Despair in doubt,
Expected a storm tomorrow;
And so she went in her discomfort,
Bowed down with needless sorrow..
But Hope was gay through the live-long day,
/. And with merry tones kept humming:
Though the sun may set, will ne'er forget
There's better day a-coming."
The storm-cloud came, and Despair the same,
Was greatly distressed about it; -
The sun, she said. had forever fed,
And she couldn't live without it.
Hope felt the storm, and her heart was warm,
And her voice with the wind went hnmming:
Il fear no harm, and feel no alarm, 3
There's better day a-coming." -
-
And so, my friend, until life shall end,
What silly Despair deems frightful,
The light more true, with higher view,
Will seem unto Hope delightful.
Then let us beware of this same Despair,
And listen as Hope keeps humming:
And though ills befall, let us think for all
-.There's better time a-comingn

being disposed Of in the maniliac-

WHOLE NO. lsS.
Slavery and Commerce.

<~.
The whole commerce Of the world
turns upon the product Of the Slave
labor. What would commerce be
without Cotton, Sugar, Tobacco, Cof-
fee, Rice and Naval Stores? All
these are the products Of slave lnbor.
It is settled fact that free labor can
not'produce them in sufficient guam
tity to supply the demands Of man
kind. 1t has been said tha. one Tr,e
laboreris is equalto FIVE slaves. If this
be SO, Why has not free labor been
employed in the production of the
above staples? It has been attempt
ed, and in every case it'fas been in.
troduced, has failed. The world fol.
lows its interests, and il free labor
is more valuable than slave, it would
be employed at this moment in the
United States, Cuba, and Brazil, which
are open to free labor. And herein
note the greater liberality and self
reliant strength of the slave over the
free States. The farmer freely per-
mits the Northern capitalists to come
in with his free labor and compete
With slave labor. The latter pass
laws prohibiting the Southern capi,
ItalIst from coming in with his slaves
to compete with Northern labor
Their prohibitory laws are passed be-
cause they are afraid of slave compe-
tltion; whereas, the South in the face
OF the pretence which has been hand
ed down from Wlberforce to these
times, that one white laborer is equal
IN value to five slaves, throws her
doors vide open and invites free
labor TO walk in and try its hand, and
it dare NOT come. What would be-
come Of England, the arch agitator
OF abolitionism, hnt ferCoiton, by the
manufacture Of which she has waxed
tat and strong, while she curses the
system by which it is produced. By
the way, will some one inform us why
the English conscience has never sui.
fered as much fiom slavery in Brazil
as slavery in the United States?

extremity was very great

iN~-SA'--o . - IT,
Iextremity was very great
/ Col. McHenry stopped with her al
a Justices office, and briefly and
clearly made his complaint, and in a
! very few minutes MIR. Broochard was
brought into the presence Of the
magistrate. He appeared to be in
great trepidation, and was pale as
ashes; for he had been suddenly ta-
ken without warning, from, behind
his counter, leaving his shopin charge
of his astonished assistants.
Col. McHenry and the young la
dy being sworn, deposed that they
both had seen the clasp on the show
case, where each went out and left it.
The former further deposed that be
had not gone three steps frem the
door before he returned and found it
missing, and no one in the vicinity
but the defendant.
The goldsmith was then called up
to be sworn as to the knowledge of
the facts. He approached the stand,
where the magistrate held the Bible,
and laid his hands upon it with a
perceptible tremor Of his whole body,
but love Of money was stronger than
the fear of the law, and he took the
oath. 1t appeared as if be would
sink through the floor when he teok
it; but the moment it was done he
recovered his audacity. At this mo-
ment an officer, who at the sugges-
ton of Col. McHenry, had been pri-
vately despatched by the justice
with search-warrant to the shop
of the goldsmith, now entered and
placed something in the magistrates
hand after briefly whispering to him
Did yon ever see this gold orna-
ment before?' asked the magis trate,
holding up the clasp before the girl.
sOh, it is my clasp-it is my
clasp she cried springing forward.
Yes, it is the same, answered Col.
McHenry.
And did you ever see it before?'
demanded the justice, sternly hold
ing it in the direction Of the gold
smith, who had seen it at first ard
was appalled, with fear and consterna-
ton. Instead Of replying he utter
ed wild hysterical laugh and fell his
length>in conyulsions on the floor.
He was few weeks afterwards Ia
ken from prison, and tried for PERU.
ry, but his reason forsook him; and
instead Of the gallows, he is now in
mad-house. Thus was avarice and
parsimony, and Indifference to the
suferings Of the poor, punished in
this life; the acts Of this selfish man
showing to all how that acquisitive-
ness wrongly directed is fatal to Its
possessor.
Col McHenry proved to be bach.
elor, and though a little turned Of
thirty, his heart was keenly alive to
all the finer sensibilities of our ma
ture. He could feel for the down.
trodd en- poor, and sympathise with
the unfortunate. To this truth none
could more positively attest than the
young friend ofthe golden clasp for
ere two moons had waned she had
the euphonic title of Mrs. Col Me-
Henry, surrounded with all the ap-
pliances of wealth that a grateful
heart could enjoy or even wish for.
Her poor afflicted mother was we'll
provided for, when she soon recovered
her health and happiness, and pros
perity smiled upon all.
