Ut rs MORE BLESSED"

Give! as the morning that flows out of heaven
Give as the waves when their channel is riven
Give as the free air and sunshine given;
Lavishly, utterly, carslessly give
Not the waste drops of thy cup overf1owing,-
Not the faint sparks of thy breath ever glowing,
Not pale bud from the June roses blowing
Give as He gave thee who gave thee to live !!
Pour out thy love like the rush of a river,
Wasting its waters forever and ever
Through the burnt sands that reward not the
giver
Silent or songful, thou nearest the sea.
Scatter thy life as the Summers showers pouring!
What if no bird through the pearlrain is soar
ing?
What if no blossom looks upward adoring?
Look to the life that was lavished for thee
Give, though thy heart may be wasted and
weary,
Laid on an altar all ashen and dreary;
Though from its pulses faint misere,e
Beats in they soul the sad passage of fate
Bind it with cords of unshrinking devotion
Smile at the hymn of its restless emotion;
IT'S the stern hymn of eternitv's ocean
Hear-and in silence thy yture ava
So the wild wind strews its arfumed car -
Evil and thankless the desert it hlesses,--
Bitter the wave that its soft pinion presses
Never it ceases to whisper and sing.
What if the hard heart gives thorns for thy roses?
What if on rocks thy tired bosom reposes
Sweetest is music with minor-keyed closes;
Fairest the vines chat on ruins will cling.
Almost the day of thy giving is over,
Ere from the grass dies the bee-haunted clover,
Thou wilt have vanished from friend and from
lover:
What shall thy longing avail in the grave:
Give as the heart gives whose letters are break
ing;
Life, love, and hope all thy dreams and thy walk
ing;
Soon, Heavens river thy soul-fever shaking,
Thou shalt know God and the gift that He
gave.

churches do, and there are few near the
door which are not owned by families, but
by the society, which are free to be occu-

white man does not rise and throw open
his pew door and contend with each other
for the honor of seating him, is it any mat

there with a deep sense of our unworthi-

Let US, then, endeavor to exercise lar

it not want of more of the spirit of our
dear Savior that gives rise to this prejudice
of which complain 1 wish some one
would tell me is it wrong to have a heart

THE MANAGES STORY.
B Y SARA II .

In the spring of 49,, while on visit
to France, l left my hotel one fine after
noon, and strolling down the Rue P,
came directly opposite the handsome build
ing known as the ST. NJ Insane Asy-
lum. There was something interesting
about it to me, and the next morning / got
a-permit from one of the managers, and
went to visit it. The keeper, kind, affa-
BILE old gentleman, received me courteously,
and proceeded to show me through the va
rious apartments. While standing at one
of the back windows, my attention was ar
rested by the sound of music. turned
to the old man, and was about to speak,
when he, motioning me to silence, pointed
with his finger to the garden beneath.
Looking in the direction indicated, [ saw
seated on a rude bench beautiful female,
whom judged from her complexion to be
a creole. She was singing plaintive mel
ody, and accompanying herself with small
guitar.
Never before was my heart so powerful
ly moved by the magic spell of song. She
ceased, at length, and folding her arms, sat
moment with look of quiet despair up
on her lovely features that went to my We
ry soul; but when she turned her soft, Ian
gushing eyes upwards, and seeing me
standing there, cried eagerly, II know you
have brought my Edward where is he Z
give him to me !" all in one breath, / was
overwhelmed with grief, for / felt that some
dire calamity had bereft the poor girl OF
reason Spite of efforts to preserve my
manhood, the tears filled my eyes, and
thanking the keeper for his attentions, ]
was about leaving, when he, noticing my
emotion, said:

AN INQUIRY.
MARY A. BROWN

Mr.. EDIToR:-Why is there so much
prejudice among colored people who at
tend colored churches against those of their
own color who choose (perhaps for reasons
better known to themselves to attend
white churches2 Are we not all children
of the same father2 Are we not all trav-
Icing to that same haven of rest? Then
why this feeling? 1t seems to me far
from the spirit of Him whom we profess to
follow. Now, the humble writer of this
article has attended what some of my breth-
rem are pleased to term white church"
Though according to my understanding it
is Christ's Church for quite number of
years, and also for years have been con-
nected with it as member, and not only
have had, but enjoyed all the privileges of
that church necessary for my spiritual
welfare. Can we have more than this in a
colored church Although you can sit in
the highest seat in the synagogue, is that
any certain sign that you Will De any more

PERSONS than one who has sit in the "ne-
gro pewr If we are all zone in Christ
Jesus" is it any matter where we sitto hear
His blessed gospel preached Perhaps
those who write and say SO much about
sthe NEGRO pew" have been to some church
where they have had such "pew" set
apart. But in the church which the writer
attends, we have no such "pew," except it
be the one in which the acriter sits, and is
constituted by that fact. Our pews COM

TT ONLY SEEMS THE OTHER DAY

Though swiftly Time, with rapid wings,
Has borne us from old scenes we knew,
Yet memory oft the picture brings
In glowing colors back to view;
Thus early friends remember when
They first as schoolboys met in play,
And vet, though years have passed since then
It only seems 1.-The other day"
The form of her We loved of yOre,
To whom we pledged affections VOW,
VIII glide before our eyes once more,
Though but in memory living now
Of that dark hair one tress alone
A treasured gifts spared decay,
Yet words in that familiar tone
Seem only breathed "the other day"
These friends appear no more the same
That shared our mirth and dried our tears,
Or taught us childhood's favorite game
The dear old friends of early years;
But when We ask if they forget
Those memories of the past, they say
Though time has wrought some changes, yet,
It only seems "the other day."

LETTER FROM NEWARK.


NEWARK, n. j., Feb. %, 1850. q
Mr.. EDITOR: On Monday evening, the
9th inst, pursuant to previous announce
ment, large and appreciative audience as
sembled in the Plane street school-room to
listen to lecture from the Rev. Henry
Lott, of Niagara, G. W., recently colport-
eur and missionary for the people of color
in the State Of Ohio. His object in visit
ing the East is for the purpose of establish
ing normal school for the education of
colored orphan females. He deemed the
education Of females crown to our race.
Educate the females, and our men would
soon become elevated. We must educate
the poorer classes of our race, for in those
classes, are found the strongest minds. He
said that in the history of nations the best
educated, the best-teachers, ministers, &C.,
have sprung from poor men, and that the
strongest bulk of intellect is found in the
poor boys and girls. The lecture was lis
tened to with marked attention, and vote
of thanks was rendered to him.
The great novelty of the day, however
in fact, the all-absorbing topic-is the par
lor opera that has been lately performed.
1t was arranged from selections of music
from several of the popular operas, with
the adaptation of English words. 1t was
performed on the 18th inst, under the
management of the author, in Passaic
Lodge Hall, before a highly appreciative
audience of limited number The opera
is in three acts, and is entitled "The Vii
lage Belle"

NEW HAVEN, Feb l, 1861.
Mrs. Mary H. Br0ion, North Ella, Essen Co. N Y:
DEAR MADAM:-At meeting held Dec.
l 1859, in Zion Church, for prayer in be-
half of your husband, the brave John
Brown, who was to be executed on the
morrow for an attempt to deliver his fellow
men from cruel and wicked bondage, col
lection was taken up for the benefit of his
family. The amount, S12 rs, | now en-
close, the receipt of which please acknow-
ledge, as received from the committe, Geo.
Ii. Washington, j Theo. Holly, and Amos
Townsend. Whatever differences of opin-
ion may exist as to the mode of Mr..
Browns operations, no candid man can
doubt but that he was actuated by the
most exalted motives of benevolence and
selfdenial. His name will be held in ever
lasting remembrance by all true friends of
liberty and human rights. If he made a
mistake in the means, God, whose provi-
dence permitted it, made no mistake as to
the influence his act is destined to exert on
the institution of slavery. The institution
is doomed! We have no shadow of doubt
of its abolition. That it will be peacefully
abolished we earnestly hope and pray; that
it may be overthrown in violence and blood,
the perverseness of the STAKEHOLDER gives
strong reason to fear. May God sustain
you and your family by His grace in your
sad bereavement.
In behalf of the committee,
AMOS TOWNSEND.
