A Passage in the Life of Burr

A Passage in the Life of Burr.
To the Editor of The n. Y. Tribune:
SIR: Since the appearance of MIR. Par
toms late work, have thought the follow
ing passage in the life OF Col. Burr might
possibly have interest for your readers:
In the winter of 1918, gentleman OF the
Old Doc,inion obtained a writ of habeas
corpus 10 regain possession Of female
slave whom the New York Manumission
Society had taken under its protection and
restored to liberty A hearing was had on
the writ at Albany. when Col. Burr, who
appeared for the claimant, expressed, or
pretended to express. profound contempt
for the Manumission Society, styling it a
collection of Mr.. "Thees" and s.Thous, ~
app plving TO it sundry opproorious epi;hets.
Mr.. Emmett, who appeared for the Society,
said, in reply, that before proceeding to the
merits of the case, he had word or two to
say in regard TO the character Of the New
York Manum;ssion Society. He We've
the Society one of TIE most respectable,
and said that if any Society could be rem
dered respectable BY the character of its
members, the Manumission Society was SO
beyond a doubt. In confirmation of his
opinion, he then repeated the names oi
several of its member re-, rs of Mr.. Jay. &c
then turning round, and fixing his keen eye
full on Col. Burr, said with impressive So
lemnity, "and last, though not least, was
Alexander Hamilton" The papers dropped
| from the hands OF Col Burr, aud, as if he
had been riven by bolt from heaven, he
sank back in his chair, a death-like pale.
ness overspread his features, and he ap-
| peared as If struggling in the pangs of dis
| solution. At length he arose, and with
| feeble steps and tottered out into the open
air, and, having remained there long enough
Court. But oh, how charged! so meek, SC
humble. so subdued. that IRE cuntrast be
tween his appearance on his return and the
look Of scorn with which he commenced his
| TRADE against the Manumssion Society
may be imagined, but cannot be described
The scene on his return into Court wos
truly affecting An was silence, and thu
writer saw at least one veteran face, ap
parenty unusued to the melting mood, for
getting Indignation in compassion, for onc'
give way to tears. He thought at the tim
that more striking example of the powe
oe conscience could not readily be found
nor stronger proof that. although her fire
are not always steaming up through fssure
in the lava, she is still in action, inascend
ent, and glowing beneath The surface.

Ny Loves.


/ love to view my native hills,
Their rocks, and woods, and shady rills;
The landscape stretching far and wide,
And the rolling stream, that flows beside;
The mountains. and the wales between,
Rich clad in natures living green,
Where tops of stately trees do rise
In lofty grandeur toward the skies.
love 10 hear the birds sing there;
love the cool and fragrant air;
To see the sun, in glory rise,
And with his brightness gid the skies
Or on an evening mild, serene.
Behold the moon, who sits as queen,
Presiding DER that giittering train
OF stars, that gem her vast domain
= But turning now to things more stern
love TO see volcanoes burn,
And send their curling flames on high,
-Bisminnting earth and Ely.
OR standing on old oceans shore,
. Ard see the biilows madiy rear
Their crested heads high up in air.
i love to see the lighining's fash,
And hear the bellosing thunders crash;
But better still, love to see.
The mighty cataract, wild and free.
And on the land, or on the see,
All llna.ure hath her charms for me;
But, through whatever lands roam,
The place 1 love best, as my home
Home where my youthful days were spent
In happiness and sweet contenti
A place, like which there is no other
The place where dwels my father, brother,
Loving sister, and dear mother.
