A HOME TO REST IN.

The world, dear John, as the folks told u.s.
Is a world of trouble and care;
Many cloud of grief will enfold US,
And the sunshine of grief is but rare.
But there's something yet to be bright and blest
in,
No matter how humble the lot
The world still gives home to rest in,
& It's hottest and happiest spot
Sweet home dear home on the northern
heather,
On the sunniest southern plain
The Lapland hut in its wintry weather,
The tent of the Indian main
Be it gorgeous wealth that our temple is drest In,
Be it poor and of little worth
Oh homo OUR! home to rest in
Is the dearest thing earth
But time, dear John, is using US badly
Our home crumblss day by day,
And we're laying dear ones, swiftly and sadly,
In the dust of the valley away.
There's death-robe soon for us both to be drest
A place for us under the sod;
Be heaven at last the homo we shall rest in
The rest of the people Of God

EXTRACTS FROM THE WRITINGS
OF THE EARLY CHRISTIAN
FATHERS ON SLAVERY.
BY LYDIA MARIA CHILD.

John, surnamed Chrysostom, or the "Gold-
en- Mouth" on account of his wondrous elo-
quence, was born three hundred and forty
four years after Christ. He was settled
as minister over the Church of st So
phia, in Constantinople, where Christianity
was then in fourishing conditional
least in its worldly affairs. He was sort
of Henry Ward Beecher of his day
prompt to rebuke sin in high places, always
ready to help the destitute, and so dramat-
ic in his eloquence that crowds hocked to
hear him as they hocked to the theatre.
Such was his magnetic power on his audi
ence that they often interrupted him with
acclamations, for which he rebuked them
with earnest indignation, bidding them re-
member that the church was not theatre,
and that he was no actor. No one among
the Christian fathers sympathized more
heartily and practically with the poor and
oppressed than John Chrysostom. Here

LETTER FROM DETROIT.
DETROIT, Mich, March 20, Is

OEAhOIAI oAASI-I olaiCh ~ ASOO'
Mr. EDIToR:-I send you an account of
a concert which l had the good fortune to
attend, in this city, on the Esd of Feb.
You are aware that an effort is being made
by the citizens of Oberlin, Ohio, to erect
a monument to the memory of the colored
heroes who fell at HarperS Ferry and
Charlestown-they have sent circulars over
the country asking the cooperation ane as
sistance of all who feel interested. The
people of Detroit promised that they would
give as beginning fifty dollars, and the
concert to which allude was to raise that
amount. The object is worthy one, bat
l send you this letter to speak more par
ticularly of the performances on the occa-
sion, and the performers, what am proud
to say, were all colored. Every evidence
of ability or skill by our people is at pres
ent of great Importance, as going to show
our capacity to attain the highest points of
excellence, and dispel the ignorance and
prejudice which surround and Cypress us,
and to my mind these evidences of social
Improvement and advancement are the
best signs of an upward tendency in the
history of our people, they bespeak civili-
walton, refinement and culture, and men
must respect such society as well as enjoy
the amusement and instruction which it af-
fords.
Mr.. VIM. Lambert, of the Monument
Committee, superintendent and directed the
whole performance with his usual taste and
good judgment. He first called to the
stand Mr.. John D, Richards, who, in
short speech, portrayed the usefulness of
monuments, the lessons they taught, and
the heroic efforts to which they sometimes
stimulate mankind. He also said that if
we have no monuments, it is not because
we have had ne heroes, as every style Of
human philanthropy and courage, as well
as every department of human science has
been approached or adorned BY men Of
African descent. After he bad concluded,
there commenced one of the most brilliant
concerts to which it has been my good for
tune to listen. The Marsellaise Hymn
was first sung, and from the enthusiasm
manifested, the people seem to have caught

Mr.. EDITOR The "Anglo-African" has
become the mouth-piece of the prescribed
Americans throughout the Northern States,
and if its contemporaries would know the
sentiments and feelings of the free North
ern blacks, upon almost every subject,
they must turn to its columns to find them
boldly ard manfully enunciated. / re-
joice that we can boast of more than one
able and influential journal, and will hail
the advent of others with ioy-those that
will vindicate The cause of our wronged
and oppressed people.
But, sir, while journal of the character
of the anglo evidently affords the larg-
est latitude to all for the expression of
their opinions and sentiments, it has higher
and more responsible purposes and duties
to correct error, denounce wrong, and
control and direct opinions. No guilt, no
assimilation, no falsehood, should escape
its scathing brand. Our contemporaries,
though offensive from the very stencil of
iniquity, are not guilty of all the crime
perpetrated in society. We have all sorts
of evils existing among us; we have pros
titution, intemperance, irreligion, disunion,
ignorance, sectionalism, religious, and
colonization-a. e., civilization-proclivi-
ties, and had we been so assiduous in our
efforts to attain noble and virtuous quail
ties as in succumbing to the behests and
promptings of the passions and appetites,
we would now be welding an influence
powerful to the pulling down of the strong
holds of Satan-the above enumerated
sins
The position of the negro in this coun-
trysprngs upon us many anomalies. Those
things which would elicit the admiration of
the world under other circumstances, now
merit scorn and condemnation, and are vio-
lative of the best interests of our people !;
and it is to these evils that lie hid beneath
the inely-spun veil of sophistry, that your
penetrating glance should be turned to
tear asunder the vile covering, and to ex-
pose them in all their meanness and con-
temptibleness to the whitening gaze of all
men. Then we may look up to- your no.
BILE sheet as the guide and director that
teaches us where lie, and how to shun, the
rocks and shoals upon which may be
wrecked our dearest hopes. G.E.s.

LETTER FROM FAIRFIELD.
FAIRFIELD, Conn, March 10, 1860:


Mr.. EDIroR:-I do not dream of writing
anything unusually interesting from this
section of the country, but 1 am happy to
state that you have several subscribers for
your valuable paper here, who. hail it as
the harbinger of peace and good will, bring
ing to our fresides the stirring events that
are taking place amongst our people in
various parts of the country. My attention
was called to your paper by a lady friend,
and when received the paper IpreSented
it to friend, and he became subscriber,
and l have thought that if each subscriber
would solicit one or two more, how anna
zingly it would augment your numbers.
This is an old town of some Revolution
airy note. 1t lies contiguous to the Sound,
and with rugged, uneven back country.
The scenery here is wild and picturesque.
Among the old war anecdotes, it is said as
the British were approaching the town to
destroy it, there was a party in the old
Westinghouse playing cards, and when
they heard the tramp of the enemy, they
threw away the cards aud took their hats
in hand, and made their exit for the woody
region in great haste.
There are not great many persons OF
color here, but there are some of the 60
ahead Yankee stamp, and they represent

considerable real estate. l am happy to
state that we are not afflicted with that
hydra-headed monster, Intemperance, as
much here as in some other places; and
wherever religion, temperance and good
morals prevail, there is always happy
and prosperous people. heartily concur
in your editorial suggestions in regard to
our people becoming more and more alive
to the Importance of becoming property
holders, and building up around them
selves bulwark that cannot be shaken
down or undermined. 1t is, in fact, the
only alternative for our enterprizing men
at the present day, as nothing else will ad
vance us in the scale of social and political
equality, and hope that our people will
begin to see the Importance of patronizing
our own mechanics, tradesmen, and labor
ers whenever and wherever it is practical
BILE and convenient for us to do so. livery
much regretted to see that one of your
correspondents rather reflected upon the
editor of the Tribune" Whatever may
have been his misgivings, he has done
more in days past and gone to combat
slavery, by welding his all-powerful pen
against it, than any other man in this
country. Mr.. Greeley has suffered every
thing but martyrdom in this warfare, and
no doubt that he has the warm sympathies
of the people of color everywhere, for
what he has achieved in their behalf He
may have changed somewhat in sentiment,
but he doubtless has the great subject of
human rights and human freedom at heart.

GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE
A. M. E. CHURCH.

Mr.. FD1ToR: Allow me to remind your
readers that the General Conference of the
A. M. E. Church, the greatest ecclesiasti-
cal body in this country among the colored
people, will meet in the city of Pittsburg
ON the first Monday in the coming May.
At that time the people from all quarters
will be anxiously watching its movements
1 have understood that our Wesleyan
Methodist brethren contemplate sending a
delegation to our General Conference, to
mako known the desires of their church in
relation to union with us, that we may
be all in one body as we are all of one
faith, and that we may the more efectually
wage war against the common enemy of
our souls. If this is true report, we can
not but rejoice in such movement, as it
must inevitably result in the mental, NOR
al, and religious improvement OF our peo-
pie. May God help US to think right, look
right, and act right. ELISHA WEAVER.

THE PROUD HEART HUMBLED.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER MOORE.

D
The March night had darkened down
the little New Eng gland village of Ashdale.
1t was pretty place in summer, lying be-
tween two hills, ON whose summit the ash
trees lifted their green arms to the sky all
the long, bright days, as if imploring ben
ediction, or spread out lovingly over the
white houses nestled round the one church
in the vale below.
But tonight it wore different aspect.
A storm was upon the bills. A little snow
and hail was borne upon its wings, but not
much. Chiefly it was the force of rushing
winds; shaking the leafless ash trees, hurl
ing agaipst closed windows; swinging the
bell in the old church tower, till it gave
forth now and then dirge-like peal, as if
the dead were tolling their own requiems.
Many homes there were where the wild
scene which seemed but to heighten by the
force Of contrast, the blessed calm within
homes where smiling infants slept warm
and still, through the twilight, in the soft
hush of mothers bosoms, and happy chill
dren gathered round the knee of some faith
err or grandsire, to hear again some simple
story; or thoughtful ones looked into the
fire, and fashioned from the embers brave
castles, in which they were to dwell in the
coming time, with, over all, the sunshine
of youth and hope. Twenty years from
now they will look again into the embers,
and see these fair castles, in which they
had never come to abide, with ruined win-
dows and blackened walls
The twilight memory over all,
Aud the silence of death within"
But In ona housa no stories were told TO

LETTER FROM POUGHKEEPsIE.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, March 10, 1850

Mr.. EDIroR:-The trial of the notorious
Ishmael Freeman, suspected of poisoning
his wife, commenced here on the 14th, and
continued until the evening of the 10Th
There were great number of witnesses
examined on the part of the people, though
but very few for the prisoner. The coun-
sci for the defense made very able speech
in summing up the case, and the Judge
delivered fair and impartial charge to the
jury, who, after being out all night, re-
turned to the court without being able to
agree. The Judge Immediately sent them
out again, charging them to bring in YER
dict, but after being out for several hours
they returned as before, and were dis
charged. The prisoner will therefore have
a new trial, which will take place in the
month of June. There was never more
interest manifested at any trial than there
was at this, the house being crowded from
morning till night.
Among the many things interesting to
US, the subject of education occupies pro-
minent position; but I am sorry to say
that there is so little interest manifested by
our people in this place about educating
their children. One reason may be, how
ever, that our school has been very indif-
ferent; but we are improving in this re-
spect, for we now have Miss G. Usher
here as the teacher of our school, and it is
undergoing great Improvement. We hope
this will induce our people to send their
children, that they may get good educa-
ton.
The great topic of conversation here at
the present time is whether the two confer
ences will form a union. 1t is the wish of
all the intelligent people here that it may
be accomplished. B.

the spirit of those in whose behalf they had
assembled, and the mind was instinctively
carried back to Rouget de Lisle, the author
of the Hymn, and the flying bands of fu-
gitive French noblemen, who, having trod
upon the liberties of people, were now fly
ing from the vengeance which the soul
stirring music of this song awoke. Then
followed selections from some of the most
popular operas, which were rendered with
taste, power, and execution, and wonder
ed to what pitch of excellence some of the
singers might arrive were they blessed
with the advantages which attend the more
favored race. The performance was inter-
spersed with several simple yet touching
ballads, descriptive and pathetic. An ex.
cellent piano, beneath the touches of Miss
Banks and Miss Thompson, and sweet
toned guitar, played by Mrs. Bailer, lent
harmony 10 the music they sang, and as
the voice of Mrs. Lett, clear and shrill, or
the deep bass of Mr.. Bogardus resounded
through the hall, we felt proud of our race,
A band of singers, under the leadership of
Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Martin, were
present. They gave several of the finest
pieces of the evening, and lent feeling of
mirth to the occasion. The music and the
bearing of the people was excellent
