II dear ones at home ask for aid,
But'alivo with q soft, graceful motion,
When engaged I'm the street promenade.
The lily-white fingers, too fragile
To place fathers slippers and chair,
To smoothe down the wrinkles that daily
Are marking his forehead with care,
Can manage a fan to perfection,
When beauN are collected ground

The voice that is tortured with hoaroeness,
Or other sad Ills Of the throat,

To give TO her gentle soprano,
an chorus, lover-like sigh.
There's a beauty that lives in the cottage,
That blooms in the shelter Of home,
Contented TO brighten its circle,
And asking no license TO roami
The lip, cheek and brow have been tinted
ByBll the sweet sisters Of health,
And virtue and peace are the dowry,
pure-hearted maiden's true wealth.
Il ow lightly she bounds to the whisper
or love, when II calls for her Carei
How Self coils himself in a corner,
And dies in unpitied despair
From hor roof-tree she gathers the blossoms
And fruits Of her innocent life,
Andithe songs that she trlls 'midits branc hes
Have never an echo OF strife.
Her eye has been frightened by converse
With minds that still speak from the past,
And over her gentle demeanor
The glow Of refinement is cast;
Kind ords, and a smile Of true welcome
Are ready for all who may comet
But the kindest and loveliest are ever
Reserved for "the dear ones at home"

that he got the British and American

About the middle Of March Inst, Brown

fact says also 1ha. Brown spoke Of his obl-
cations to Smith for aid in The enterprise in
which he was then engaged and seemed tore
" upon him for any assistance which he might
require in future cndeavors Of the same kind.
Doubtless Smiths words refer to Capt. Browns
peaceful and bloodless attempts at universal
emancipation. We take 1t that Mr. Smith
xoud not desire to conceal the fact that be is
at all times ready TO assist in the escape Of
ngitives, nor that hundreds, perhaps, Of
