From the Syracuse Standard.
Underground Railroad.

The underground railroad OCCASIONAL,
brings out some rich things. Yesterday
beautiful muiatto woman from the MARYLAND
shore, near Baltimore, called upon Mr.. Lo
guen. She was fugitive from high life il
slavedom. Her dress, address and conver
sation, showed she had been valued anC
cared for She naturally inquired into th,
quality and amount of business at the Syra
cuse depot Mrs L2guen took the record o
the names of the fu9 9itives that had called a
her house and comme~ ced reading them.
e" That is the name OF my husband" she
exclaimed, with enthusiasm, when certain
name was read.
Mr.. and Mrs. Loguen instantly called tc
mind an accomplished semi colored man they
had sent on to Rev. Mr.. Man sfeld & Co., Al
Auburn, three weeks ago. She told her story
as follows:
She had been married about six weeks
Her husband and herself were house slaves
of two notable any wealthy families IN Mary
land, and were greatly attached. About
three weeks since her master suspected that
she intended to escape with her husband, aud
arrested her and put her'in jail. She man
| aged to notify her husband of her case, and
he instantly fled to avoid a similar fate, and
probable sale to the far South. Her mistress
and daughter are greatly attached to her, aud
procured her release, and in three days there
after she fed on foot to Philadelphia, with
the aid of the man who helped her husband
off. Ant;-slavery men put her on the road,
and now for the second time she has got on
the track Of her husband.
Mr.. Loguen at once thought it his duty to
90 to Auburn with her and help find her hus-
band. On her arrival at Auburn. he placed
her in the parlor of one of the best hotels,
and called on Mr.. Mant6eld who went with
him to another clergyman TO whom he was
dir. ntei. He was at meeting, and Mr. Lo-
uen saw colored man in distant part OF
the met ting who resembled the fugitive, and
sent q person to bring him to the .oooy to see
Mr.. Lo ruen. The poor man was seized with
a trenor The fact was, he was an excellent
machinest and instead Of going to Canada,
had hired ou.. at Auburn, rather instructed
to do so BY Mr.. Loguen, if he found chanca.
They are ah ,r you, Fred" said Mr.. I.o-
guen, /" but hold uI your head-rll take you
where you won't be | urt.'
"Who is after me p
Who bat your ma. ter could be after
you But don't be scare t-toiloW me and
' ou will be safe
Can you fght?"
"It depends on who am 10 .fght !"
"Will you fight shareholders il shey nave
come to take you?' ,,
"Yes would fight regiment OF them. ,
By this time they arrived a! the hote', ard
Mr.. Loguen proceeded directly to the parlorr'
which was richly furnished aud gas,lightrd.
The fellows feelings were worked up to the
highest point by Being led to such lace,
where he could expect to see no one but
STAKEHOLDER. On entering the room he saw
his beautiful wife alone. He was so overcome
that he almost fell to the floor, excaiming at
the same time, 4" it's my wife p They rush
ed together, and a happier bride and bride,
groom could not be found in the world-WeIl
venture to say.

Astonishing effects of Ohe bottle, IN

Philadelphia, Marcn %ui lOoo'
Dear Sr-Durng the last five years have been
afflicted with dyspepsia, in its most aggraVate
form, and have used, without receiving any oene-
fit therefrom every remedy recor'merde'i for that
disease In fact [ was afflicted aS'ily that on
many occasions was in great DANCE, 5 wing
from sutfocation, in consequence of the list
matter in my throat, and all my Efforts for RELIEF
were in vain. ! was at last induced through the
recommendation of several of my friends, to try
Hoofaud,s German Bitters, and | assure you the
amount of relief have received, from the use o!
only one bottle is astonishing, and compels me to
say that | would not be without the hitters for
any money, as am now, through their use en-
loving better health than have known for many
years. Very respectfully yours.

TEMPERANCE MEETGNG.-The temperance
meeting at the Baptist Church on Tuesday
night, was well attended. The address Of
Rev. Mr.. Adams was eloquent and convincing
showing the duties which each individual
owes to society-hs obligation to obey its
laws while he enjoys their protection-and
ahe duties which we individually owe to COM
munity. 1t was we,ltmed, was well receiv-
ed. and fully sustained the course of those
who are taking measures for the suppression
Of ,intemperance, and its kindred vices, in
our place by the enforcement of law, where
reason, or moral suasion, will not accomplish
the dsired object.
The President stated that he had received
subscriptions of stock, for the formation
of a Carson League, to The amount Of about
$4,000 d that two subscription papers
were yet out, which will probably swell the
amour, to over $4,000.
A committee, consisting Of A. Brown, Jas.
W. Ross, aud Jesse S. Norton. was appointed
to select i've directors for the government o
the League and to superintend its operations
The meeting was favored with several ex
cellent temperance songs by choir of ou
best singers.

I'VE find the following in Blackwood and
cannot refrain from giving it a place here,as it
is so truthfulin itsreAcctions upon the youth of
the rres mt age, who are men in their own es-
timation long before they arrive at the age
even Of adult boyhood
Where is now our youth?--where our old
age? Where are our boys2--where our men?
We have men. boys and boy-men? But
where are the vertiable boys--the boys with
eager hearts, throbbing pulses, buoyant spir
its. gay hopes, glowing fancies, unreasoning
beliefs and ready faith-the boys with the
young thoughts and the young feelings gush-
ing through them like the juices of young
lite-the boys who hail their stage of exis-
tence joyfuly, gathering its pleasures, bat
ting its sorrows, and venting its impulses !;
not striving and straining after an unripe
knowledge and forced maturity? Where
are now our veritable greybeards-the old
men who calmly, and of course, enter on
their stage Of life assuming its dignites, claim
ing its privileges, and fulfilling its functions
separating themselves from the turbid action,
the toll and strife of the world, and reposing
honorably in the retirement Of experience and
council /; not clinging to the semblsnce of fore
gone periods, not envyin, the energies of
youth or the prime of manhood. but keeping
alive the memories and feelings of both to ray
their declining day with mellow light-the
old men who rejoiced to wear their grey hairs
as crown Of glory and stood amid their fel-
lows with their hoary heads, their wise hearts
and their brows engraven with the lines of
thought like
"The white almond-trees full of good days"
Such men may still exist, scattered like
old pollsrds over the leveled face OF society
but they are not thy products, not the results
of thy materialism, o Age The youth which
opens under thy auspices, and runs by thy
creeds, cannot SOW the seeds of such har-
vest. The youth formed under thy influences
and action will have no growth, will not
know the natural processes of maturition-
a" First the blade, then the ear, after that the
full corn in the ear" Thy youth will be put
and fashioned like steam engine, moving
ever by the same hard heavy material laws,
so much speed from so much power, so much
knowledge from 80 much pleasure.

ranges from seventeen dollars, Bowie, Of Mary.

be continued up 10 two hundred md fifty or five
hundred miles. aud all above this to be reduced
10 zen, instead of forty cents mile; also n de
duotion Of SO or $50 per diem for voluntary alb
senee from Congress"
This is move in the right direction SO far ns
il goes, for there is no good reason why members
of Congress should be paid mengo five or six
times tho actual amount Of their travelling ex-
penses. We do not suppose. however, that any
reform will be effected in this mnttcr, as 1t il no
torious that pay and mileage never reduced.
hut the only change over made is 10 increase the
rates, both Of pay and mileage. The bill is also
Il good one in another respect, as il provides for

pensaiion bin of tho last session, the members
voted themselves S25 $50 per day, and out of
that deduction was to be made for absence o
