Selling White Children.

There Ia a society in New York, which expects
much credi: for humanity, which picks up street
children, and finds them homes in the far West
A late number of Harper's Magazine refers in
very eulogistic terms to the operations of these
philanthropists. There are no doubt many ne
elected children In large cities whose condition
would be much improved by removal to the agri-
cultural districts But abolition philanthropy will
not bear close inspection. Washington Qilinois)
correspondent of the New York Day Book states
that the agent for tho transportation OF paupers
from this Five Points, New York, has been bring
Ing car loads of white children to the West and
selling them out.as he says) to pay their expense
Boys aud girls are sold at from sl5 to $50 according
+ quality. If the purchaser finds be has good bar
gain, be holds on to his servant; if not, he turns
him off to shift for himself The purchaser is
under no obligation to take care of him. Here is
q case 10 point Thomas Butler, half-witted
Irish boy, about fifteen years old, brought out by
Mr. V. M and purchased by Mr.. V. Ms father,
who kept him until he found him not very profts-
ble turned him off, and he has been forced to
sleep in cars stables, &C. and beg his bread.
This Is a fine specimen Of abolition philanthropy.
The business Is understood to be very prosperous
in New York, and the Day Book says Is principally
carried by aboli.onists, who think 1t ahorrible
thing to sell little negroes but who have not the
same squeamishness about white children

pulS made tremendous leaps, bounding from
side to side, until the whirlwind suddenly
subsiding, found myself off the road deep
overhead in the snow, choked and blinded,
and with small snow-drifts in my pockets,
sleeves and bosom. My beard and eyebrows
became instantly white, solid mass, and my
face began to tingle, from its snow-bath; but
on looking back, saw as white beard sud-
denly emerge from drift, followed by the stout
body of Braisted, who was gathering himself
up after his third ship-wreck. (Braisted is
an old sailor.
We took a fresh start, | narrowly missing
another overturn, as we descended the slope
below the house, but on reaching the level of
the Muonio, found no difficulty in keeping
my balance, and began to enjoy the exercise.

soon L was alone on the track. In the gray

nowhere to be seen. waited some time be-

Drytown Correspondence.
DRYTowN, June lst, 1857.


Messrs Editors: A want of water has
about quieted the quartz mills in this vicinity,
and the proprietors seem well satisfied with
the profits Of the season. Their success has
more than equaled their anticipations; their
added wealth, however, has wrought no fool
ish change upon the manner of the men,
Sudden acquisition implanted no purse-proud
vanity in their bosoms; indeed, the quartz OPP
orators in this vicinity are eminently practical
men, possessing all the characteristics per-
tanning to real worth in the moral and mental
elevation Of society. Such men are worthy
of success, and to know they have it excites
no feeling Of regret in this community.

THE PRESENTIMENT
A TALE OF THE REVOLUTION.

There was a sound of revelry by night"
The moon was shining brightly upon the
polished musket and gorgeous equipments Of
a sentinel in the scarlet uniform of the Bluffs
the crack regiment of the day-as he
traversed his brief round at the garden gate
Of Greenwich St., behind the residence OF
Sir Henry Clinton, the commander-in-ch
of the British forces in America.
His stalwart figure and high grenadier cap
made his shadow appear gigantic beneath the
rays of our full and glorious orb-the Wes-
tern moon. Occasionally he would pause as
if listening to the rich music which ever and
anon swelled forth from the residence of Sir
Henry, and his thoughts turned upon the
youth and beauty mingling in the dance
within.
Once or twice he passed the back of his
hand across his eyes, as if to stay truant
tear that was stealing from its fountain. His
memory rushed to the days Of his early home
in merry England"
"By st. Georgep he muttered, half aloud,
" ! did not think could be childish The
sound of the tune has put me in mind of old
Devonshire."
Saying this he broke out into the military
song Of General Wolfe, which, as tradition
goes, he sung while passing up the st. Law
renee, the night before he fell on the plains of
Abraham
"Why soldiers why,
Should we be melancholy boys,
Whose business tits to die,' &c.
His voice naturally sweet sounded per-
fectly melodious, as unconsciously, he forgot
his duty as sentinel, and gave to the song
the full compass of his manly tones. At a
little distance concealed from the sentinel by
the shrubbery, was an officer, upon whose
arm leaned beautiful girl-abSentees from
the ball room.
As the after fate of this brave officer forms
a memorable page in our country's history,
my readers may perhaps like description of
bis person. He was rather under the middle

The Music of Labor.

The banging of the hammer,
The whirling of the plane,
The crashing of the busy saw,
The creaking Of the crane,
The ringing of the anvil,
The grating of the drill,
The clattering of the turning lathe,
The whirling of the mill,
The buzzing of the spindle,
The rattling Of the loom,
The putting of the engine,
The fans continuous boom,
The clipping of the tailors shears,
The driving of the awl--
These sounds of honest industry,
i iope---I LOVE THEM ALL
The clicking of the magic type,
The earnest talk of men,
The toiling of the giant press,
The scratching of the pen:
The tapping of the yard stick
The tinkling of the scales,
The whistling of the needle,
when no bright cheek it pales.1
The humming of the cooking stove,
The surging of the broom,
The pattering feet of childhood,
The housewives busy hum;
The buzzing of the scholars,
The teachers kindly call
These sounds of active Industry,
I iope-I LOVE THEM ALL.
/ love the plowman's whistle,
The reaper's cheerful song,
The drovers oft-repeated shout
Squirting his stock along;
The hustle of the market man
AS he HES him to the town,
The halloa from the tree-top
AS the ripened fruit comes down;
The busy sound of threshers,
That clean the ripened grain;
The husker's joke and catch of glee
Meath the moonlight on the plain;
The kind voice of the drayman,
The shepherds gentle call
These sounds of pleasant Industry,
iore-I LOVE THEM ALL.
oh there's good in labor,
If we labor but Alright,
That gives vigor to the day time,
And sweeter sleep at night;
A good that bringeth pleasure,
Even to the toiling hours,
For duty cheers the spirit
AS dew revives the flowers.
Then say not that Jehovah
Gave labor as doom;
No!-'tis the richest mercy
From the cradle to the tomb.
Then let us still be doing,
What'er we find to do,
With cheerful-hopeful spirit
And free hand, strong and true.

relied is, that Brigham Young was prepared
