Miss Lucy Stone, and other distinguished anti
slavery advocates, say, 'there ought to be an anti
slavery child's paper" So say VIC, and more.
For ten years past there has been one, struggling
with the popular tide successfully, and Just now
beginning to move up stream. Hear what they
say
The Jrenile Instructor, a small semi-monthly
for children, published by L. c. Matlock, at SYRIA
cuse, is a neat cheap readable paper. 1t is eleva-
ted in its moral tone and reformatory in its spirit.
-PennSylraRid Freeman.
Our anti-slavery friends will be glad to learn
that tits thoroughly right on the question of negro
slavery. 1t is the first juvenile paper in the coun-
try which is anti-slavery. Let it have a wide cireu-
lation.-Ho'tford Republican.
The Juyenile Instructor is a most admirably con-
Quoted little paper for children, issued in this city.
We find it always welcomed by the little ones, and
we sec, by glancing over its columns, that Uncle
Lucius,' the editor, possesses in an eminent degree
the rare faculty Of entering for the childish mind.

SLIDING G.

What a lovely right the round red moon
Sails high in tho air like a great balloon,
While the stars shine brightly, like SO many SIX,
rockets,
Or diamonds imbedded in topaz sockets
And, Pickering over the slumbering town,
The moonlight is streaming up and down,
Till each slated roof and tall thin spire
CLOVIS silver and red, with its mystic fire,
Nature, though dreaming, yet smiles in glce-
What a night for q slide down the steep glacis!
SO let's away
IT'S no night for sleep
Sec the moon-teams play
On the glacis steep,
And the moon looks down
With a laughing air
Oh let's not miss
A night so fair.
Oh here's a health to tho lucky man
Who first invented the ~tabogan:
The red mans tolls would be well repaid
If he Just tried a slide with his Indian maid.
Here's the top of the hill-now down we go,
Swift as the shaft from the twanging bow,
Or, Sucker than lightning over a way
Well oiled and creased, as our friends would say
Our breath is gone, like his who was tied
On the wild steed's back, for the dreadful ride.
They may talk of a sly Irritation,
BY the light of the chandelier,
And such like dissipation
When nobody's very near:
But then they never tried,
On a star-lit night and clear,
Down the steep glacis, a slide,
With q pecious freight to steer.
They may praise the polka's round,
Or the waltz's giddy whirl-
To the music's melting sound,
AS up and down they whirl--
But give me the slippery steep!
Give me the cold moons ray!
The cooling rush Of the outstripped wind!
The glide of the Indian sleigh!
For though we may lack the chandelier,
The light of the moon is passing clear;
And though we have not soft music's swell,
There's a s%ilvery voice l love as we'll
Our roof is the azure sky, unfurlcd,
Studded with many a starry world,
Which shadows a gayer and grander hall,
Than ever witnessed a thronging ball
So if dull care should come in your way,
The best receipt is an Indian sleigh.

SPIRITUALISM.
a CoLoRED MAN ACTING AND SPEAKING UNDER TIL
SPIRITUAL DIRECTION OF WILLIAM PITT.

SPIRITUAL DIRECTION OF WILLIAM PITT.
SPIRITUAL MEEriNG.-P. B. Randolph, the spir-
itual medium lectured at Market Hall last evening.
expected, inasmuch as the closing scenes of the
Fair and the Franklin Institute Lecture occupied so
largely the public attention. Mr.. II. is a young
mana mullatto of somewhat singular appearance
lie gave a brief history of his life. His mother,
being in an unpleasant condition socially, was of q
melancholy turn of mind, and looking to the spirit
world for the light denied here, became a dreamer.
By the law of hereditary decent, his spirit was
formed and SHAPED after hers, and he, too, was of a
dreary cast of mind. In earlier days he followed
the occupation of a sailor. Sailors are supersti-
tious, and he learned to believe in the presence of
spirits. lilo seems to have been preserved from
wrong doing. When tempted to do things calcula-
ted to injure and degrade his spiritual being, there
had seemed to be a voice within him saying,
Beware !' His life also, on several OCCASIONS, had
been preserved by this invisible agency.
AT length, on a certain occasion when on land,
he thought he heard a voice, saying very distinctly;
"You shall no more earn a livelihood upon the
mighty deep there is other work for you"
After briefly relating his experience in spiritual
things, he protested to be controlled by the spirit
Of William Pitt, who spoke through him. The
speech, it was admitted by all, was very eloquent,
and displayed great learning and Huency. AT its
close syeral questions were asked, all of which
were very promptly answered. Hon. Harvey
Baldwin said it must be evident to all present that
the medium was incapable of making such a speech,
lie moved a vote of thanks to Mr.. Randolph, Mr.,
Spirit or Mr.. Pitt, or whoever had favored the
audience with so able n discourse. The motion
was carried with but two dissenting voi'es. One
objected that the lecture was not sufficiently ortho'
dox.
MIR. Randolph is 70 lecture at the City Hall this
evening, and at Myers Hall tomorrow forenoon
and evening.

WHO 1 LOVE AND H

There's one | love-with all
The deep warm fervency of woman's
Nature. Mine earnest heart doth daily offer up
Its sweetest incense, on this hallOwed shrine
OF faith and trust. And daily ascendeth
From my grateful soul, the prayer, that
The dear God may ever guide him,-evcr
Keep before his onward step, the clear, fair light
or Truth and by his side, "A true and faithful
friend,
May reason stand, transcendanti in her glorious
Majesty while round about his heart, the gentle
Sistcr-band-Faith, Hope and Charity, their
S~leepless vigils keep-likc trusty sentinels
Holding strict guard before the sacred precincts
OF the soul.

There is reason for all things, so too
For this. | see him, Stunned by common
Minds ,-frowned at by bigoty,-
Spurned by those who walk with "~eyc.lids
Lifted p ":-whose musty creeds are only good
Because of their antiquity and hated, too,
BY those who seek to grind to earth, and
Bind with heavy chain, the soul that haply
Lives beneath a sable brow: and yet, l see him,
Firm and, and true, and brave,-still battling for
The right, still pleading for the bowed and soul
crushed
Slave, weeping in chains on freedoms consecratcd
Soil and asking that justice be but granted
TO the poor down-trodden one-broMer-
Child of the anne good Father,-heir alike
Of mortality. For roman, too,
His earnest spirit is ~awake,-pleading that
She may claim, as rightful heritage,
The whole domain of nature from which
To gather for her thirsty soul, food, fitted
For her spirits wants,-In the walks
OF science,-the broad fields of philosophy
In searches Tor the deep, for hidden truths
OF the Great Infinite ;-alone, may these
Her needs, be found. Then open wide
The doors fling back the iron gate,-so
lIarshly grating on each rusty hinge,-on which
The poisonous acid, from oppression's fetid carcass
Has 50 long been poured, that even now,
IT'S well nigh eaten through. Aye
Let it fall sit ne'er can close again.
Eternal progress holds it back, with strength divine
And truth hath placed his standard front the bars
Let woman enter, fear not-sho ne'er can lose
Her sacred birthright-the holy charm Of roman
hood.
But rather shall this intorlinkiug chain
That draws her upward towards the home of God,
o rather shall it elevate and beautify
This sweetest grace, that God hath given her;
And closer fit her for mans bosom friend.

That all the world Of mind be tiee,-to think,
To speak, to act, as divinity, enthroned within,
Shall dictate free to love the holy, pure and good,
TO worship God, in winds, or trees, or flowers;
Or hear him whisper from the souls of men,
That reason, too, be left t'assert her rightful sway,
Der minds by ancient myths now dimed:
THAT she no more shall be thrust down, as
'Carnal,' weak and human but be anno:nted
Queen of all the earth-a chosen guide, to lead us
To the sparkling fount of truth for that could
Meier be reached, should reason take her ligh

THE LIGHT AT HOME.

The Light at Home. how bright it beams
When evening shades around us fall;
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love and rest and comfort call.
When tired with the tolls of day,
The strife for glory, gold, or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name, .
Around the Light at Uomc.
When through the dark and stormy night,
The hayward wanderer homeward HES,
How cheering is that twinkling light
Which through the forest gloom he spics"
1t is the light at home-he feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The joy and love that Danish care,
Around the Light at Home.
The Light at Home, when ere at last
1t greets the seaman through the storm,
lie feels no more the chilling b.ast
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fed,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss,
But the sad tears which then she shed,
VIII now be paid with rapturous bliss,
Around the Light at Home.
The Light at Home how still and sweet
1t peeps from yonder cottage door.
The weary laborer to greet,
When the rough tolls of day are DER.
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart
Around the Light at Home!
