FRrGHTExED--We find In the papers the fol-
lowing extract of letter from Fred Douglass
in England, which shows that his suddeE de-
parfnre was prompted by fear Of arrest:

Canada-not from Boston, where 1 had in
tended to take passage, but from Quebec. Nor
is it necessary to state that the Harperss Ferry

caused me to take my present route. though
not my present journey, for that was already
determined upon more than a year ago. and the

A Stubborn Stripping.

A big STRIPPING, fresh from Vermont,
once entered the Dummer Academy, at
Byfeld, Mass. AT that time the boys and
girls were kept in one apartment, only the
middle aisle separating them. One day
this Vermont STRIPPING who had just been
helping one of the girls through hard
sum, thought it not more than right that
he should take toll for his services; accord
lngly he threw his stalwart arm around the
rosy damsel and gave sly but rousing
smack, which startled the whole assembly.
"Jedediah Towser, come up here!" roared
the preceptor.
The delinquint appeared; his face with
bushes, like red hot warming pan-and
looking as silly as a minny. "Hold out
your hand, sir!' said the pedagogue. ell

ton"
The huge paw was extended in hori,
zontal line towards the instructor, who
surveyed its broad surface with nathe.
matical ye-calculating how many strokes
of his small ferule it would take to cover
the large number of square inches it con
tained.
"Jedediah" at length he said, ''this is
the first time you have been called up fol-
any delinquency; now, sir, if you say you
are sorry for what you have done. viii
let you off this time without punishment!
Sorry" exclaimed the youngster, stri
king an attitude of pride and indignation
"sorry! No, Sir! am not. and l will dc

The New York Assoc iation for the Re.
lief of the Poor, in its fifteenth annual
report, makes some admirable suggestions
which we condense:
/. Those who owe the poor anything
ought to pay at once. Cash for washing
and ironing, or almost cash, may be Il
slight thing for the employer, but 1t is
great thing for the employed, who has to
pay in this way for room-rert and coal.
9. We recommend it to all persons who
have any work to do, or who can make
work suitable for the various classes who
are chiefly without employment, and there
fore without food, to employ them forth
with, and pay them, promptly, generous
price. If ii poor fellow will consent to
saw and split !. cord of hickory wood 70!
fifty or seventytive cents, and does the
Job neatly and well, pay him dollar, and
let the extra quarter sweelen his frugal
supper. (Of course we have reference III
these recon- mendations to honest and tenn
pelale persons, who will not abuse and
pervert what is done for them.) ouI
washerwoman may agree 10 take hity cents
dozen, but if she has to drag the bag
home and the ba sket back to you, some
times in pinching cold, and scarcity o
clothing, give her IL quarter now and then
to pay for her wearisome tramp, or cap
! or a pair of shoes, to her little boy tha
shares her burdens. 1t will be better
charity than siXpence given to lazy
street beggar, who will turn it into whisky
or lager beer at the next corner.

EBWe knew an old man who believed
that what was to be would be. He lived
in Missouri, and was one day going out
several miles through region infested in
early times by very savage Indians. He
always took his gun with him, but this
time found that some of the family had it
out. AS he would not go without it, some
of his friends tantalized him by saying
there was no danger of the Indians, that
he would not die until his time had come
anyhow.
"Yes," said the old fellow, "but sup
pose was to meet an Indian, and his time
had come, it woul dn't do not to have my
gum

cousin to bob Logic"

MANNERS MAKETH MAN.-Manners are
of more importance than laws. Upon
them, in great measure, the laws depend.
The law touches US but here and there,
now and then; manners are what vex or
soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase,
barbarize or refine us, by a constant,
steady, uniform, insensible operation, like
that of the air we breathe. They give our
