"Blessed are the deal who die in The Lord
for they do rect from their labora, aud their
works DO follow them" John Brown was
man Of Col, and he has gone home, He has
toiled more, and suffered more. and sacrificed
more TO achieve the freedom Of Kansas than
any other man. Il has been said that Il was
strange Virginia could find no better use for
John Brown than 10 hang him; but it was the
best use they could make of min. There
needed to be some sacrifices 10 Slavery that
God might work out his own good purposes -
And there will be more sacrifices needed and
called for. Old men, and older than begin 10
feel and TO know that Slavery will not be done
away with by moral suasion. Il is not to be
done away with by the "Bible argument, ;" but
a conflict cometh, and who Of US are ready foI
the sacrifice. i have not been mobbed from
Carolina; bnt have been mobbed more than
once in the State Of Ohio for expressing Scnli
ments like those uttered here tonight. Lei
not this sympathy be mere passing impulse
but = lasting good 10 ourselves and to th'

KILL
rKaeeling and rocking the Grad
What is the little one thinking abouti
Very wonderful things, no doubt,
Unwritten history!
Unfathomable mystery
Yet he laughs and cries. and eats and drinks,
And chuclIles and crows, and mods and WlnkbJ
AS if his head was full of kinks
And curious riddles as any sphinx
Warped by collie and wet by tears,
Punctured by pins and tortured by fears,
Our little brother will lose two years;
And he'll never know
Where the summers go
He need not laugh, for he'll ind 1t So.
Who can tell what baby thinks?
Who can follow the gossamer links
By which the mannakin feels his way
Outf from the shore Of the great unknown,
Blind, and wailing, and alone,
Into the light of day?-
Out from the shore Of the unknown sea,
Tossing in pitiful agony
Of the unknown sea, that reels and rolls,
Specked with the barks Of little souls
Banks that were launched on the other side,
And slipped from heaven on an ebbing tide
What does he think of his sisters eyesz
What does he think of his mother haHE
What of the cradle roof that flies
Forward and backward through the arr
What does he think Of his mothers oreastz
Bare and beautiful, smooth and white,
Seeking it ever with fresh delight
CUP Of his life and couch Of his rest
What does he think when her quick embrace
presses his hand and buries his face
Deep where the heart-throbs sink and swell
With tenderness she can never tel,
Though She murmur the words
OF ali the birds no
words she has learned to murmur WellF
Now he thinks he'll goto sleep
! can see the shadow creep
over his eyes in soft eclipse,
O,,ar HI brow and over his lips,
Out to his little finger tips!
Softly sinking, down he goes!
Down he goes! Down he goes!
Rising and carefully retreating to her seal
See! He is hushed in sweet repose.
