Harassing the C0lored People.

One OF the most noticeable traits OF South
ern manners and morals, at the presen, time,
is the ferocious spirit of plumber with which
the free colored population is pursued. The
lowest class of the white population indulge
this spirit in the kidnapping Of free negroes,
whom they presently sell as slaves, pursuing
this business sometimes within the limits of
the Free States. Governors and members Of
the Legislature, though they do not care to do
a peddling business by stealing, now man,
now a woman, and now a child, selling them
for slaves and putting the proceeds in their
pockets, are perfectly ready to undertake the
same business by the wholesale. Governors
are recommending new laws to reduce The
Free population to slavery, and Judges are
shaming the Devil in twisting the laws TO the
advantage Of the white and against The un.
fortunate colored race. And now Senator
Douglas ami his hackers at the North, start
Presidential campaign, based almost wholly
upon binding the black man-stripping him
of his rights, one by One-and elevating still
higher the privileges Of arbitrary power. The
Declaration Of independence is 10 be ranked

Just Con! what supreme wickedness and ha-

Lo, the seal Of Death is breaking.
Those who sleep Its sleep are waking,
Eden opes her portals fair
Hark the harps Of God are ringing,
Hark the seraph's hymn is singing,
And The living rlllS are ilInglng
Music In IN immortal air !
There, no more at eve declining,
Suns without Cloud are shining,
Der the land of light and love;
Heavens own harvest woos the reaper,
Heavens own dreams entrance the sleeper
Not tear is left the weep-r,
To profaue the h me above.
No frail Lilies there are breathing,
There no ihorny rose Is wreathiug
ln The bowers of Paradise;
There the fountS of life are ilowing,
Flowers unknown 10 time are blowing,
Mid superior verdure glowing,
Than is summed by mortal skies.
There the groves of God, that never
Fade, or fall, are green for ever,
Mirrored IN the radiant ude;
There, along the sacred waters
Unprofaned BY tears Of slaughters,
Wander earth's immortal daughters,
Each 4 pure, immortal bride.
There, no sight of memory sweileih,
There no tear of memory dwelleth.
Hearts will bleed or break no more;
Past is all the cold worlds scornlhg.
Gone the night and broke the morning,
With seraph,c day adorning
Life's glad waves and golden shore.

Value of a DrOp of Oil.

Every man who lives in house, espe-
cial!y if the house be his own, should OIL
all the various parts Of it once in two or
three months. The bOuse will last much
longer, and will be much quieter to live
in. Oil the locks, bolts, hinges Of the
street door, and it will shut gently, with
luxurious ease, and with the use Of small
amount Of force. A neglected lock re-
quires great violence to cause it to shut,
and with SO much exertion that the whole
house, its doors, its windows, and its very
floors and joisis are much shaken, and in
time they get out Of repair in all sorts Of
ways, to say nothing Of the dust that is
dislodged every time the place is so Jared
The incessant banging Of doors, scraping
of locks, and crcaking and screaming of
hinges, is great discomfort. Even the
bellwire cranks should sometimes be oiled,
and they will act more certainly, and with
such gentle force that there will be little
danger Of breaking any part of them. The
castors of tables and chairs should be
sometimes oiled, and they will move with
gentle impulse, and SO quietly that a
sleeping child or Old man is not awakened.
A we'll oiled door lock opens and shuts
with hardly a whisper. Three pennies
worth Of oil used in large house once a
year will save many shillings in locks and

pairs Of house and an old wife living
and sleeping in quiet repose, will ENJOY

tive usefulness. House keepers, pray do
not forget oil. A stich in time saves
nine, and drop in time saves pounds
