TesfofAhnIitionisIn.

All is not gold that shines, and the loudest
mouthed philanthropists and reformers some
times cave in when put to severe practical test
like the following:
81 have brother-in-law," said Nose Parkins,
''who was one Of the rayenist, reddest, hottest
abolitionists you ever seen. l liked the pesky
critter well enough and should have been very
glad to see him cum to spend day, fetchin' my
sister to see me and my wife, if he hadn't low
ed his tongue to run on so bout niggers and
slavery, and the equality of the races, and the
duty of overthrowing the Constitution Of the
United States, and alot of other things, sonic of
which made me mad, and the best part Of 'em
right sick. Ipuzzled my brains good deal to
think how could make him shut up his noisy
head bout abolition.
Well, one time when brother-in-law came
over, an idea struck me. | hired nigger to
help me in haying time. He was the biggest,
strongest, greasest nggsf you ever seed
Black! he was blacker than a stack of black cats,
and just as shiny as new beaver hat l spoke
to him. Jake sez l, when you hear the break
fast bell ring don't say word, but you come
into the parlor and sit right down among the
folks and eat your breakfast. The nigger's eyes
stuck out of his head about feet! "You ar io-
kim massa" sez he. "Jokinl" sez |. "I'm So
ber as a deacon" "But," sez he, 81 shant have
time to wash myself and change my Shirt $50
much the better' sez I. Well breakfast came,
so did Jake, and he sat down long my brother
in-law He started, but he didn't say word.
There warn't no mistake about it. Shut your
eyes and you know it-for he was loud, tell
you. There was first rate chance to talk
about abolitionism but brother-in-law never
opened his head
Jake" sez /, ''you be on hand at dinner
time, and he was. He had been workin' in
the medder all the forenoon-t was hot as hick-
ory and biin pitch-and-but leave the rest
to your imagination.
Wcl in the afternoon brother-in-law came
up to me, madder than short tailed bull in
hornet time.
"Mosc,'' said he 81 walit to speak to you''
''Sing it out, se2 |.
Il haven't but a few words to say" sez he,
but If that ere confounded niger comes to the
table again while I'm stoppin' here, FL clear
out"
Jake ate his supper that night in the kitchen
but from that day to this, | never heard my
br6ther-in-law open his head about abolitionism
When the fugitive slave bill was passed. thot
he'd let out some, but he didn't. for he A7ao,0'd
that Jahe cas still ~orhtng on the fa1m- 0ttce
Branch.

The fol Iowing is an extract from sermon by
Rev. Charles Wadsworth, Of Philadelphia:
Il need not tell you that it has come to pass
in these latter days that these standing places of
Gods messengers to a ruined world, become Of
tentimes the mere platforms for political har-
angues. These affairs of our God, where the
heart is demanded as a sacrifice to Jehovah, be-
comes oitentimes only "seats Of CUSTOM" where
the worldly tribute is rendered to Caesar. The
precepts ofthe divine law thundered from Sinai;
the promises of the Gospel issued in the death
cry from Calvary; alas! they are all set aside
and forgotten, that these ambassadors of God
may discourse political declamations upon moot
edpoints that divide our great political parties
Either because these men find the duties of their
sacred profession so light and their consequent
leisure so abundant, or because they regard the
care of souls so trivial concern in comparison
with the enlightenment Of society on these po-
litical questions; or it may be, because they re-
gard themselves as men ofsuch prodigious pow
ers and special inspiration, as to make it their
extraordinary duty to leave their humber and
and less gifted brethren the care of the ark in
the field ofBethshemsh, while they strive about
the golden mice with the lords of Philis
tines
"Certain we are that for some reason, into
their religion, such as it is, they carry some Of
the veriest denominations of ruffians and radical
politics. Their pulpits become platforms where
all questions of practical morals are discussed
as side issues, with the same aim of the dema-
gogues The Cross of Christ is taken down
from its high place as the crowniRg glory of the
sanctuary, and instead-as an engine of reform
is lifted the ballot box and the popular passions
are lashed into storm, that, with their suffrages
asfreemen, they may carry Maine Law OF de-
feat a Nebraska Bill. And with this advocacy
and patronagein the churchs high places ithas
not marvelously, come to pass that the edifica-
ton Of the audiences should be after their kind.
Certain we are Of the fact, that many Chris
tan man looks to-day to the foulcst ma
chinery of partisan politics as an efficient
auxiliary in a reformation Of morals. Tenn
perance, moral reform, religious education mi.
versal brotherhood, indeed all things that are
true and pure, and lovely, and of good report,
are--to speak technically species Of NOR
al log-rolling, linked as twin issues with the
loulest aims of ruffian demagogues seeking pre-
erment and place. Nay, verify alas these
heavenly moral virtues, that as white robed an
gels on radient wings, should be unsoiled by
dust and soaring sweetly in Gods sunshine, are
harnessed side by side with bank charters and
tariff provisions, to drag the charioe Of some un-
principled placeman into honor and power"

Puritan Origin OF tRlc Faasitivc
&lDVC ERYN.

| The Boston Coariey gives the following bits Of
history, from which it appears that the practice
of restoring fugitives from service had its origin
among the old Puritans:-
''It may interest the readers of these papers,
as piece Of curious antiquarian history, to
know the origin of the practice of restoring fil-
gitives from service. In the articles of confed-
Grafton between the United Colonies of New
England, viz: Massachusetts, New Plymouth,
Connecticut, New Haven, &C., made in 1643,
and made, as the preamble declares, by those
who "all come into these parts of America with
one and the same end in aim, namely to advance
the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to
enjoy the liberties of the gospel in purity and
peace there is the following provisions: at
is also agreed that ifany servant runs away from
his master into any confederate jurisdiction, in
such case, upon certificate from one magistrate
i'll the jurisdiction out of which the servant fled
or upon other due proof the said servant shall be
delivered to his master, or any other that pur-
sues and brings such certificate or proof"
"lt thus appears, says the Courier, that the
rendition of fugitiyes from service in this country
commenced more than two hundred years ago
and, what is remarkable, the mode of proof re-
Guired by the agreement Of the Colonies, is pre-
by the act Of 1850; the only difference between
them being the more elevated character
of the tribunal lin the jurisdiction out of
which the servant fed" before which the proof
is now made, and the greater caution in the pro-
ceedings 1t is presumed that the subjects of
this compact between the Colonies, were rather
white servants and apprentices than negro slaves
who, in 1643, were very few in numbrr 1t was
very common in those early times, more than at
present, for master mechanics to take indentur-
ed apprentices, who, if they absconded, were
(and ,Soi0 are) liable to be arrested and return
ed to their masters, as persons held to labor or
service in the State whence they fled.
The same rule prevails now in regard to white
fugitives which was adopted by the carly Puri-
tans, and is applied by the fugitive slave law to
fugitive slaves. Yet the Abolitionists would
see the Union dissolved rather than apply the
same rule to runaway blacks to which runaway
white men are subjected!

growers, cum nultis aliiis, hold their stated or

growers, cum multis aliiS, hold their stated or
occasional meetings.
1t is a source of qualification that in this de-
sire for improvement teachers have joined
Semi-annually, hundreds of ready hands and
willing feet meet at our State Capital to coun-
sci and encourage, to watch and to pray, to la
Dor and to give. All over our State, at least in
three-fourths of the counties, are annual meet
ings, teachers institutes, in which probably
1000 of the 1900 teachers of Ohio are brought
into friendly communication.
Proportionally, in no occupation Gf we ex-
cept that of politicians does so great a number
meet in council, nor in any occupation is there
so greatly needed the sympathetic word Of en-
couragement to help the timid and strengthen
the weak, or the gentle scourge to chasten the
pedantic.
The influence Of instituted has not been unfelt
in the land. l could name single county in this
State wit h an area and population but little su-
perior to Harrison, in which the teac hers have
drawn from their ofttimes scanty salary no less
than S40o in single year to support an irsti-
tute and sustain county agent
That the wisdom which framed our excellent
School law, with commendable foresight, provi-
ded a partial relief from this heavy burden ought
to be a matter of congatulation and thankful
ness with teachers. In many counties the
Commissioners grant 500 yearly for aid in hold
ing Institutes. In our own county $40 is ap-
propriated for this purpose But thisappropri-
alton should not deprive us of the pleasure Of
assisting in the work. The necessary expenses
Ofa two weeks institute, in the employment Of
competent lecturers and advertising will not fall
short of $50.
Fellow teachers, the institute needs your en-
couragement and your more material aid. A
single dollar contributed with your attendance
ten times that value in increased energy, more
thorough self knowledge and truer views of the
teachers work.
School officers, too, are beginning to recognize
the utility of institutes. Take this single illus
traton. Gen. H., somewhat notorious as a pol
itician, but not too aspiring to be local director
nor too wealthy to send his children to free
school, said to me few days since:
'1f a teacher applies to me to get our school;
(and we've got the best school house in the
county) / always ask him the first thing, "Do
you attend these teachers, institutes?' If he
says ''No! never heard about them!' tell him
"Go on, sir, we can do without you here"
1t is hoped that there are few tcw teachers in
this county that have not heard of teachers in
stitutcs; butt is teare1 that there are not quite
enough who contider it aduty to attend.
For the time of holding the institute see adj
vertiscment in this paper and for details call at
the institute.

these gatherings and the intense sympathetic

When thousands and tens Of thousands ot

and an influence exerted which we can scarcely
calculate
Indeed, so distinctly do the intelligent of the

1t was but the other day that Raimond, who

stakeholder. In the same spirit, Garrison, on
the 4th of July, said:
"To me, the path is plain. To day Idisown

hypocricy and trancendant opposition and, cast
