NOTICES OF THE PRESS.


The Anglo african Magazine is the title of
new candidate for public favor, the first (Januaryl
number of which lies before us. 1t is published
in the interest of that class of our fellowctizens
who are disfranchised by the Dred Scott decision,
and its contents, in their generality, speak very
significantly of the injustice done them by the
opinions of some of the Judges of the Supreme
Court.
We hail the appearance of this Magazine as step
in the right direction and trust that it will not be
suffered to lack for the want of support-Foan-
gelist (Ne,o York;
Among the various new publications recently
announced, we are glad to learn of the establish
ment of a magazine conducted entirely by colored
persons, and devoted to the social, moral and po-
litical advancement of their brethren-Independ-

The Magazine is one Of great ability, interest
and taste, and viii bear a comparison with those

THAT'S SOL suppose you have heard
the story Of the "judge-auctioneer." The
members of the Supreme Court probably
have not, so will rehearse it for their ben.
eft. Our hero was Justice of the Peace
in one-horse town somewhere out West
and, as litigants were somewhat scarce in
his district, he combined the duties of judge
with those of auctioneer Well, on one
occasion, while exercising the latter func-
ton, certain wag named w, who attend
ed the sale for the express purpose of hav-
ing little fun, kept bidding on every arti-
Gle put up, and when they were knocked
down, the bidder was not to be found. This
began to be rather troublesome, and the
Judge got "riled." At length, after con-
siderable watching, the Judge discovered
him, and had him arrested and fined for
contempt Of court. w. demonstrated against
such proceedings, maintaining that he could
not be fined, as the Judge was not on his
bench. The Judge then mounted the
stand, took off his spectacles, and after two
or three dignifed knocks with the hammer
to call the attention of the crowd, he
said:
" It's no use; Pm Judge, and on the
bench or off the bench, this ere courts al
ways a0ort]sy Of contempt :"
w. said he agreed with the Judge, and
paid his fine willingly.

LIGHTNING Poor years since, an
old revolutionary soldier named Benjamin
johnson, living in Milford, Massachusetts,
was struck by lightning, but not killed
For two days he was insensible, when the
doctors were called, who said he would die.
Just at that moment his speech came to
him, and calling his wife byname, he said /:
81 have stood cannon and musket balls and
bayonets, and can stand thunder and
hglstning if the doctors will only let me
be-" And sure enough, he recovered.

was the only fault this young man had 1;
and this night, instead of being, as his fa-
ther and brother supposed, in his own bed,
he had gone out secretly, and been carous-
ing, with some of his companions, at the
ale-house
Soon becoming sufficiently inebriated,
and fearing his fathers anger if he appear
ed before him in that state, he intended to
pass the night in the detached clubhouse, as
he had often done before. His compan-
ions had accompanied him thither, and
helped him to climb up to the window
The rest requires no further explanation.
Nor do we need to add that the murder
ers expiated their crime with their life
and that the householder, although saved
and again in possession of his plundered
property, still shudders at the recollection
of that dreadful night.

FELLOW TRAvELERs.-"Will you help

druggist, who had just been compelled to

he would be too late for the cars.

NOW AND THEN.

No,1 is a constant warning stroke,
Beat by the ceaseless clock Of Time;
A voice our wisdom to evoke,
A mandate solemnly sublime;
It bids US keep the soul awake,
To do the best our means allow
To toll for truths and virtues sake,
And make the effort nor.
Nop is the watchword of the wise,
And often wins Its wond'rous way
Through hosts Of dangers in disguise,
That wall to battle and betray /
The specious Then doth oft deceive,
Brings pain of heart and gloom of brow,
But would we some good work achieve,
Let's make the effort no,c.
No1c gilds the banner of the brave,
And prudence wears it on her breast;
That talisman has power to save
From vain remorse and sad unrest;
Then leads us by an easy rein,
And breaks our well-intended vow;
But would we earn some sterling gain,
Let's make the effort no,e
Then may not come, but Nop is here,
All ready at our own right hand,
Perchance with aspect half severe,
Yet prompt to help, if we command;
Strive with it, and its blessings fall
Like sweet fruit from laden bough,
But these will turn to husks of gall,
If we neglect the No,e.
In youth, if just ambition fires,
And seems to lift the soul on wings,
If the heart grows with pure desires
For worthy and exalted things,
Wait not, but raise your latent power,
Nor shrink your wishes to avow;
The only safe, propitious hour
Is the fresh, foremost Noi0.
In manhood, with our passions strong,
Oft hard to conquer or to guide,
If some insidious power of wrong
Has drawn our faltering feet aside,
Sorrows will come-regret and fears
VIII make the humble spirit bow,
But to atone for wasted years,
Let's seek the right, and no1.
If mid the worlds rude shock and strife,
Thou hast no sense Of things divine,
No yearning for the holier life,
Oh, what boundless loss is thine
Ii thou would'st hope, strength, comfort fin
Gods oracle viii tell thee how:
Go with meek, inquiring mind,
And hear its voices nOsc.
Procrastination, foe to bliss
Curse far more baneful than it seems,
What treasure we have lost by this,
In vain and unsubstantial dreams!
From this dear moment let us start
With brave endeayors, righteous vow;
Up, dropping soul up languid heart
And seize the golden No1U.

sent me entitled the Autobiography of a Fe-
male Slave" | read it with fixed interest from
beginning to end and have met no recent pub
ication that has seemed to me so truthful, Just
and benevolent, and so likely to touch the hearts
and consciences of men In regard to the practice
of slavery. Accept my thanks for it, with my
best Wishes less for the sake of the author or for
your own than for the sake of our country and OF
humanity, that the book may obtain free and
wide circulation. | am, &c dc.

wounded Austrian and was carrying him out
of the melee. As he was trudging along
with the man upon his back, he felt some

looking around perceived that the poor fel-

contrived to draw from his pocket, was cut
