No more Slave States.

This is becoming more and more
the cry of the ultra Freesoilers ol
the North; but suppose, suggests the
the Richmond Enquirer, the South
should insist that there should be
no more free States; would not there
be far more Of good sense, Of human
ity and justice, in her position: than
in that Of the North? +
First,--Slavery excludes, neither
in theory or practice, any abiding
citizens of free States from the States
where it exists. Slave States are
equally open to all the people Of the
Union with all their property.
Sccondiy,-All the territory out
Of which new States are to be formed,
was either ceded to the Union by
slave States, or acquired chiefly by
Southern counsels, Southern arms,
Southern soldiers, and Southern
statesmen. - ~"
| Thirdly Slau society isthe Old
est, the most common, and the most
natural form Of society; whilst free
society is little experiment, small in
extent, and short in duration, yet
which has been attended, { by the
showing of its own authors } with a
thousand times greater evils than
slavery has inflicted on mankind,
throughout all,ages, and all countries.
For a single season in Ireland was
fraught with more Of human suffer
ing than all the annals of slavery
exhibit!
In view of these facts, would it
not be more reasonable for the South
| to object to the admission of free
States, than for the North to refuse
to admit slave States?

Com nonsense Judge.

Judge Capron, Of the Criminal Court
Iof New York, On the occasion of a
recent application for the postpone
ment of case, when the attorney
gave notice of his intention to file an
affidavit stating that he was not ready
for trial on account of the absence
of an important witness who was to
prove certain points, stated that he
did not want an affidavit in the usual
form, that the accused expects and
believes to prove by the said witness
certain things, but positive oath that
he will prove by the absent witness
the points alleged. The council OBJ
jected that such an oath might put his
client in a position to be punished for
perjury, to which the Court very
briefly replied, "that is precisely the
position in which / wish to put him
if. he swears falsely to an application
for postponement.'' The affidavit
was not made and the motion for
postponement refused. A little Of
the straightforward common sense
here displayed by Judge Capron
! would have a most beneficial influence
in freeing our courts from the numer-
Gus motions for the postponement
of criminal cases by which the bust
ness of the courts is greatly retarded,
the expense Of the judiciary largely
increased, and justice ultimately
eluded. Any one familiar with the
proceedings of our courts cannot
have failed to discover that in large
proportion of instances the affidavits
made for the postponement of cases
on account of the absence of wit
nesses by whom the accused Eek.
poets and believes he will be able
to substantiate his defence are mere
shams and subterfuges, taken adyan-
tage of by unscrupulous men whohaye
no regard for the sanctity of an oath
if they can escape the penalty of its
violation. In many Of these cases
the witness whose absence is made an
excuse for postponement is purposely
kept out of court. Judge Capron's
plan affords ready remedy for the
cure of this evil, and we hope that il
will secure adoption in quarters where
its iced has been long and sorely
felt.

engaged a long time IN his profession

newspaper upon the minds of ,
family fehlldren, writes to the edito,
of the Ogdensburg Sentinel, as fol
lows:

fact, without exception, that those
scholars, of both sexes, and of all
ages, who have access to newspapers
at home when compared to those who
have not, are
l. Better readers, excelling in pro-
nunciation and emphasis, and con-
sequently read more understandingly.
2. They are better spoilers, and
define words with more ease and accu-
racy.
2. They obtain a practical knowl-
edge of geography, and in almost
half the time it requires others, as
the newspaper has made them famil-
lar with the location Of the important
places, nations, THAR governments and
doings ON the globe ~
4. They sfe better grammarians,
for having become so familiar with
every variety Of style in the news

tisement to the finished and classical
oration of the statesman, they more
readily comprehend the meaning of
The text, and consequently analyze
It's construction with accuracy. !
5. They write better compositions,
using better language, containing
more clearly and correctly expressed
IDEAS.

remarkable trait is an abiding want
of common sense, which has prevent

them to be destroyed. He was fond
of horses himself, and he knew that
every man was attached to the beast
which had carried him so far and SO
faithfully. Their brides we're there

loose upon the beach. A scene en-
sued, such probably before never wit
messed. They we're sensible that
they we're no longer under any re-
straint of human power. A general
conflict ensued, in which, retaining
the discipline they had learned, they
charged each other in squadrons Of
ten or twelve together, then engaged, |
attacking with forefeet, and biting and
tearing each other with the most fe-
rocious rage and trampling over those
who we're beaten down, till the shore
in the course ofan hour was strewn
with the dead and disabled. Part of
them had been set free on rising
ground at a distance; they no sooner
heard the roar Of battle than they I
came thundeiing down over the in
termediate hedges, and catching the
contagious madness plunged into the
fight with equal fury. Sublime as
the scene was, it was too horrible to
be long contemplated, and Romano,
in mercy, gave orders to destroy
them. But it was found too dam

last boat had quilted the beach the
few horses that remained were seen
still engaged iu the dreadful work of
destruction.-Southey's HIS

AFFECTION NJ ANIMALS.

Mr.. James !. Quin, of the "NVils

"Minnie." :" 1t was raised in company
with lamb, pointer dog. and set
teR slut, and the four were much at
tached. One day the f.wn was missed,
and the greatest uneasiness was mani
tested by its companions. The next
day Mr.. Quin made search, attended
by the three animals, who seemed
fully aware of his object, and found
the body of the fawn, which some
wretch had shot. The lamb licked its
face with every sign of the deepest
grief MIR. Quin then returned to
give orders to the servants to bury
the fawn, and on going back with
them found the body entirely covered
with leaves by the two dogs and the
lamb, which were even then engaged
in their task of love. The interment
the party returned to the
house, but the lamb refused to be qui-
eted, and kept up an incessant and
bleating, and when Mr.. Quin
would ring small beH that had been
attached to the neck of poor Minnie,
Lhe lamb would instantly rush to the
'pet, with the greatest anxiety, only

lime it took no nourishment, not even

ENOUGH FOR ONE BED.

Emigration to the State of Michi-
gan was SO great during the year
1856, that every house was filled
with travellers wanting lodging. Ev.
cry traveller of that time will re-
member the difficulty Of obtaining
a bed iu any Of the hotels, even il
he was wiling to put up With two or
three strange bedfellows.
The Rev. Hosea Brown, an eccen-
trio Methodist minister, stopped at
one of the hotels in Ann Arbor, and
inquired if he could have a. room to
himself. The 5arkeeper told him he
could, unless they should be so full
as to render it necessary to put an
other in with him. At an early hour
the Reverend gentleman went TO bis
room, locked the door, and soon re
tired to bed, and got comfortably to
sleep. Along towards midnight, he
Was aroused IRON his slumDer by 0
loud knocking at the door.
'sHallow, you thereH he exclaim-
ed, ''what do you want noWT' laying
particular stress on the last word.
"You must take another lodger
With you, sir" said the landlord.
"Whatl another yeti"
"Why yes, there is only one in
there, is there2
"Onel why here's Mr., Brown, and a
Methodist minister, and myself, here
already, and / should think that was
enough forone ed,even in Michigan?''
The landlord seemed to think SO
too, and left them to their repose.

Lent My Love a Book One Day.

/ lent my love a book one day,
She brought it back, Ilaid it by:
Twas little either had to say
She was so strange, and SO shy.
But yet we loved indifferent things
The sprouting buds, the birds in tune:
And TINE stood still and wreathed his wings
With rosy links from June to June.
For her, what task to dare or do?
What peril tempt? what hardship bear?
But with her, ah! she never knew
My heart, and what was hidden there!
And she with me, so cold and coy,
Seemed like maiden reft of sense;
But in crowd, all life and Joy, ..-.
And full of blushful impudence.
She married! well: woman needs
A mate, her life and love to share
And little cares sprang up like weeds,
And played around her elbow-chair.
And years rolled by, but l, content,
Trimmed my own lamp, and kept it bright,
Till ages touched my hair besprent
With rays and CLEANS Of silver light.
And then it HANGED, took the book
/. Which she had read in days gone by,
Aud as read such passion shook
Ny soul, I needs must curse or cry.
For here and there her love was writ
In old half-faded, pencil signs;
As if she yielded, bit by bit,
Her heart, in dots and under-lines.
All! silvered fool! too late you look!
know it; let me here record
This maxim, Lend no maid book
! Unless you read it after,oard. c
