DEAR FRIEND ROBINSON: 1t has been our priv.
lege Of late to form acquaintance with and listen
to the story of the wrongs of that unfortunate Slave
mother. Suiourner Truth, who has experienced in
her own person for forty years. the awful conse-
quence of being horn a slave. Ofall the sufferers
at the hands Of tyrants. none drink so deep of the
cup Of sorrcw and drain the very dregs Of human
misery, as the slave-mother. 1t is really affecting
to listen to the narrative S4journer gives Of her
early life as Il heatheh and her conversion to Chris
tianity. So strong are her appeals to the sympa.
thies Of her audience, that they are often in tears.
In her sable rms she bears the oppressors ct her
race to the ieet'uf the lovely, gentle Jesus, and asks
him to forgive. She asks the oppressor to cease tt

this to shareholders. and shareholders, "aiders and

her own eventful life as well as from the open book

A WORD TO BOOK BUYERS.

MARIUs: The unpretending, but very conscien.
tious Principal of the Sandusky Union School, has
published a book, modestly entitled "Moral Les
sons The title ia exceedingly appropriate. The
compilation contains nothing scientific, except what
appertains to Ethics. Nothing fanciful or exager-
ated.
The lessons are brief and simple; replete with
instruction in relation to our duties; set forth in
concise narrative.
But the peculiar excellence of T.. NJ. Cowboys
book will be found in its questions for especial and
varied applications" In these there is a marked
deviation from the marginal routine Of popular
school books in this, that to answer them, the
scholar is required to think rather than to remem-
Der.
1t would be q pleasant and profitable employ
ment to discuss those questions in the family circle,
by the evening fire side, previous to its introduce
ton rs q school book, and this will be, as soon as
parents and preceptors shall be prepared to appre-
ciate Truth for its inherent quality, irrespective of
em~bellishment-shhll learn to prefer a poman in
plain attire to a belle decorated in tho most APP
proved fashion.
Who can fail to wonder how in so good n selec.
tion, the Slaves wrongs are unnoticed? True,
the principle that would free him is clearly laid
down, and the enquiry obtrudes itself, is the 'spe.
cial application" less nee6ful here. than in cases
of less frequent, and less painful suffering?
1t is hoped that the author is too much ola man
to be deferred from demanding justice, until pub
lie opinion demands it Of him. One on the high
moral plane which he occupies, should lead, not be
led. Let him he assured that popular sentiment i,
far in the rear of his inculcations. VIVA. are pre-.
sumed to he living truths to the compiler, are only
veritable distractions to many readers; hut let him
not be discouraged; Moral Lessons" will disturb
the rest Of ~sleepers; in future works let him wake
them up, not 81 much by varied" as Especial ap.
plication."
Call for the book Mt McMilfan's; take a chair in
the corner; read the article Carefully listen to
conscience, and always obey its commands" page
81. If you.think it really good, buy two copies, one
for homo use, and one to lend to poor people. If
you do not wish your children's integrity to exceed
the popular standard, lay the book down. pro.
nounce it insipid, and say joel, have you the his
