Farewell.

will not say remember me,
Though all too soon we part,
And sadly and regrefully,
Thought fingers round my heart.
a few short days of gladness
And sunshine still is OURS.
But then will follow sadness,
And moments traced in flowers
May lmger in the memory
a pleasant joy, but past,
Like soft and golden sunset
All lovely to the last.
True heart that feel together
Are like voice and Lutte
Or the breeze that seeks easement
Where harp is lying mute:
That when the. strings are trembling,
Awakes softer thrill,
And with its gentle whisperings,
Calls out sweet tones at will.
Some b eezes swell so quietly,
That the harps best music flows
From off its strings tremendously,
As incense. leaves the rose:
And that is like the friendship,
Enrooted in this heart:
It's striug retain their music,
Though from the breeze apart.
They trenbIe with sweet memory,
And breathe plaintixe tone,
And the music swells forever,
Though the harp he left alone:
The breeze may spread his pinions,
But they have caught strain,
While blei,ling with the harp strings,
That cannot die again:
And while the harp is tuneful
With melody from Heaven,
The breeze will sigh more sweety,
With a music caught and given.
will not say, remember me p
If friendships in thy heart,
Thou never caEst forget me,
Though leagues we dwell apart.

WHAT MAKES THE GENTLEMAN
takes four things to make thorough
gentleman. You must be a gentleman
in your principles, gentleman in your
tastes, and a gentleman in your manners.
No man who does not combine these
qualities. can be justly termed a gen.
tleman.

to organize a republic, or at least a state,
somewhere upon this continent. If chance
should favor us with the former while ap-
pealing to the God of Nations for protec-
ton, we would not only command the sym
pathy, and probably the acknowledgment,
of European Governments, but bring to
blush or shame our own Government and
create greater respect at home and abroad
by our Lilliputian-like attempt
In my humble opinion it is about time
that we ignored for while, at least as
impracticable for the present crisis, some
of the old subjects, such as american
Colonization" the idea of which was long
ago exploded by the platform and resolu-
tons of the Rochester Convention of 1853,
and which should be abided by as final
ity on the subject We should neverthe-
less infexibly favor individual enterprise
to Africa or any other country where in
ducements might offer for individual self
elevation. The abandonment of one-half
the kindred subjects that has SO long en-
gagged our attentions would be nothing
more than a withdrawal of our forces and
planting them in another direction, leaving
the enemy partly in the hands of our
white friends, of whom many have deter
mined to wrestle with the monster Slavery
until they overthrow him. By these
means, and determination by us, in COM
mon with them, we might the sooner over
throw American Slavery.
In short, we must let the slave sit for
while, as being too heavy load for us to
carry at present, but always keeping in
mind that the freedom of the slave is the
first and grand object to be attained.
We must-we aoiH succeed We must
also remember that fancy did not aim the
fatal blow particularly at the slave but at
the free colored people of the United
States. While recovering from the inaic-
ton of that blow let us endeavor to get a
better foundation to stand upon ourselves.

TROY AND ITS PEOPLE.

Mr.. EDToR:-If there is anything that
you desire to know of men and things
while passing through section of coun-
try, always take your seat with the stage
driver 1t was for this reason that l took
my seat on the top of the stage on the
morning that left Albany for Troy The
driver, who seemed to take especial pains
in answering all my questions, appeared
highly gratifed in abiding to improve
ments, and called my attention to new
house lately erected by colored farmer,
at the same time pointing out the place
where the old one had stood.
After very pleasant trip, we drove in
to the city of Troy. The first thing that
strikes the attention here is the absence of
idlers from the streets Everybody ap-
pears to have something to do. l saw but
one colored man idle in the whole city,
and rum had made him so. The colored
people appear to be doing well, a large
number of them being property holders.
They speak very highly of their white fell
low citizens, and your correspondent de-
sires to add his testimony also, for kinder
treatment from community he never re-
ceived
Our people own two churches, one be-
longing to the Methodists, and the other
to the Presbyterians. The former, which
is the more spacious of the two, could be
greatly improved by the use of little
paint and white-wash Both churches, I'M
fortunately, are at present without pastors,
but l learn that Rev. J. n. Gloucester, OF
Brooklyn, has received call from the lat
ter, which, if accepted, will be profitable to
all concerned.
hear that the Rev. Edward Bishop is
is about to remove from Troy. This will
be very severe blow to Zion Church, and
will throw a very greatrespOnsibility upon
its members. May they be prepared to
meet it.
A stranger isremarkably impressed with
the talent that exists in the city of Troy
It contains the material for as fine litera
nv and musical society as can be found il

that it needs is to be worked up. Will ou
friends Rich, Van Loon, Hagerman, Fish

TO THE YOUNG COLORED MEN OF
NETWORK.

1t has been observed that in all cities
there are three distinct classes, namely:
the political, or governing class, the COM
mercial, or business class, and the working
class, or people. At moments glance we
perceive to which class we belong.
1t is true that few and, in proportion,
a very few-have, by indomitable perse-
verence, risen to height above this latter
class but will that effect us as class or
elevate us as people, to the standard of the
higher classes where our rights, in such
a position, would compel respect2 Where
is commerce or the trades supported with
more fervency than in this country
Where is free labor more encouraged or
more amply compensatory Where are
political honors more courted or respected 7
And are we, as young men claiming this
as our country, to remain uninterested spec
tators through the whole scene, without of
fering our assistance to those who are con-
tinually advancing the claims and gradu-
ally obtaining the rights of the African
But you will ask, What can or must we
do2 Are not our enemies greater than
we? Have they not wealth and the pow
er of the Government to support them
Truly they have-but have we not power
as well? Let us make ourselves active
members of society. Let it not be sur
missed by our enemies that we, as a class
prefer light work and mental services, and
consequently of no use to the country ex-
cept as menials, but let us seize with our
right hands the more vigorous part of la
Dor, which more fully deveIopes the power
OF manhood and the laborious capacities
and the capabilities of nation? Dig to
the depths of the earth and from thence
learn wisdom. Investigate the intricacies
of the ponderous machinery and try to
solve its problem. Let the plane, the ak
and the anvil become in your hands as
mere toys. Are there no tradesmen
among us2-no blacksmiths, masons, car
penters, shoemakers, agriculturists, in our
midst2 Have we not men well skilled in
the arts and sciences, who at this moment
are hewers of wood and drawers of water
for the million2 Have we not women
among us whose skill in drawing, painting,
embroidery, needle-work, &c, would CON-
pare successfully with that of any people ?
