point, that we recommend it to our friends
without further comment:

which the writer's express their determi-

We always regret 70 receive such intima-

TOBACCO.
PUBLISHED nv REavrsr.


Come, old and yOung, and hear me tell
How strong tobacco smokers sm II,
Who love 70 smoke their pipes so well,
That for tobacco they win sell
Their right to social Union
They always scent the atmosphere,
And you may know whou they are near,
Though not a word from them you hear,
'Phcir breath would stranglc you, fear
While in this smoking union.
They cloan their pipo-slcms with wire,
Thon fll the bowl and put in fire,
And smoke until Il quite expire,
Nor do they sccm to ever tire
In This laborous union.
Sometimes from three 10 six you'll see,
Selected In one company
And every fellow in gOodglcc,
They then must have a smoking spree,
A flthy smoking union.
Ard then the fumes and smoke will rise,
Like morning mist toward the skies,
Then voc to him who has weak oyos,
Unless no takes his leave aud dies,
Away from such union.
With impudcncc they of presume,
To vcx all persons in the room,
Who can't endure tobacco fumc,
And they must bear their wrotohed doom,
Orlcavo the smoking union.
Some keep their money from the poor,
And send them hungry from thoir door,
Then haste away TO some ones store,
And spend it for tobacco more,
To burn in smoking union.
Sometimes, within their neighbors door,
They'll cast their quids, somo thrco or fou
And spit on carpet, hearth, and floor,
Often a gill, or even more,
And talk of social union.
OF times within the church you view,
Persons who there will sit and chew,
And spit upon tho floor or pew,
Until II spreads foot or two,
And sing Of heavenly union.
When they are mad they chew much moro
Until the angry fit is Ger,
Than they were known to chew before;
Their anger then is much too sore,
To think Of heavenly union.
The quid Is of so large within,
The juice runs out aud stains the skin,
And then we alwayshave to grin,
And think there is.no little sin,
In this tobacco union.

The Richmond South thinks the Amer
lean Tract Society is already given over
to tho Xviii One, because i, has resolved
to break silence in regard to "Iho sins
Of slavery" II says;
The Society is right in resolving TO ro-
spect tho inyiolability of books; but il is
very far wrong in concluding 10 admit
slavery among the subjects OF Legitimate
discussion.
1t is idle for tho Tract Society 10 at
tempt to distinguish between tho moral
and political relations Of slavery, and 70
allow discussion Of tho subject in its ro-
ligious aspects only, The morality OF
slavery, in It's incidents as we'll as its os.
sence, cannot be ignored in considering il
as political institution any more thar
we can avoid its political relations in treat
ing II as a matter Of conscience.
But the fact is, the Society expressly
warrants q war upon slavery when il in
culoates an exposure of those moral evils
and vices which il is known TO promote,
and which ara condemned in Scripture
and so much deplored by evangelical
Christians. Within tho limits Of this Ian
guage, the most ultra abolitionist can OK
patiate to his hearts content. 1t is
charter in truth, for any aud nll attacks
upon slavery, and its effect will soon b,
seen-in the character and tendency Of tn,
Society's publications..
The South is right in saying that tn,
evils incident to slavery cannot DO dis

When came fully to myself-when the hor-
rible dream went of-and it lasted but mo-
ment-I struggled to shake off the arms of my
sister, which were clinging around me, and
could l have cleared myself, 1 should have
jumped down among the raving animals. But
when second thought came over me, knew
that any attempt at rescue would be useless.
As for poor Mason, he was wild with horror.
He had tried to follow Caroline when she fell,
but he could not shake off the grasp Of his ter
rifed sister. His youth, and weak constitu-
tion and frame, were unable to stand the dread
full trial, and he stood close by my side, with
his hand firmly clenched, and his teeth set
closely, gazing down the dark wranging
creatures below, with the fixed stare Of ma
MAC. 1t was indeed terrible scene. Around
was the thick cold highland below the rave
nous wild beasts were tapping their bloody
jaws, and bowling for another victim.
The morning broke at last, and our frightful
enemies fed at the first advances of daylight,
like so many cowardly murderers. We waited
until the sun had risen, before we ventured to
crawl from our hiding places. We were chill
ed through; every limb was numb and cold
with terror, and poor Mason was delrious and
ragged wildly about the things he had witness
ed. There were bloody stains about the tree,
and few long black hairs were trampled in
the snow.
We had gone but little distance when we
were met by our friends from the settlement,
who had become alarmed at our absence.
They were shocked at wild and frightful
appearance and my brothers have often times
told me that at first seemed like so many
crazed and brain-sickened creatures. They
assisted us to reach home; but Harry Mason
never recovered from the dreadful trial. He
neglected his business, his studies and his
friends, anon murmerng to himself about that
dreadful night. He fell to drinking soon af-
ter, and died a miserable drunkard before age
had whitened a single hair upon his head.
For my part, l confess L never recovered
from the terrors of the melancholy circumstan-
ces which / have endeav ored to describe.
The thought of it has haunted me like a shad-
ow, and even now the scene comes at times
freshly before me in my dreams, and l jump
up with something of the same feeling of ter
ror which experienced when, more than halt
! century since, L passed night among the
wolves.
