THE JOURNAL.
Northern Slavery.

The philanthropy of the present day is tele-
scopic and theoretical The more mpracticahle
the project the more obstinate is the adherence
of its pursuers. As the Don QuiXotes Of chlvalry
sought 10 remedy in distant lands the abuses they
might have rectifed at home, The Don Quix-
otes of philanthropy cast their glance from pole
to pole to seek out evils which, like rank weeds,
flourish at their feet. Modern philanthropy is
after all merely hobby and show. 1t springs
from a selfish, sickly, and morbid sentmentality
1t is the hypochondracism of benevoence.
Individuals prefer to cherish foreign pets. A
monkey or macaw is infinitely more interesting
than cat or a barn-yard fowl Communities
pursue just the same course. The universal con-
version of black heathens, and the universal
enamel ipation of black slaves, is held to be of
paramount Importance. But the emancipation
and conversion of white hpathens and white
slaves is held to be matter of little moment.
The vice and misery that surrounds us is
stigma upon onr humanity and a satire upon our
boasted civilization. Our newspapers record
crimes occurring in our midst, which. among
some of the people we pretend to Christianize,
are unknown: or if perpetrated there. they are
punished with instant death The knghterrants
of philanthropy wiring the hearts of their audi
ences with rhetorical exaggeration of the woes
Of negro slavery, while the cambric with which
they wipe away their maudlin tears, and the
dresses they wear, have been mOistened with the
tears of those whose suffering and degradation is
quite as terrible as any woe recorded ia the an
mails of ebon bondage.
We need not 90 to the Southern States and to
the coast of Africa with our sympathy and pity.
We need not read OF human injustice in story
books. Here, in our own city, the fair daughters
of our race relapse into consumption, or immo-
rality, from the disgraceful advantage their en-
pl0yers take Of their necessities When we hear
Of eighty young women crowded in single
room for ten hours day, and working for sum
which scarcely holds soul and body together, can
we wonder at the prevalence of consumption !?
Or can we think to punish the guilt such misery
frequently entails? The white slave has to
struggle against social ills TO which the negro is
a stranger. The former has necessities that are
imposed by civilization, by the tics Of country,
aud by the bond of consanguinity.
Where are these unf0rtunates to look for
redress more naturally than to their own sex
The justice they demand comes properly under
the category of woman's rights. We fear that
every blue stocking who writes and prattes upon
woman's rights and the abolition Of slavery, does
not always feel inclined to emancipate her milli-
ner, and compensate her with a liberality ade-
gnate to the support Of the sexual dignity she
advocates.
1t is for woman TO do something for the relief
thing, that too strong passion for bargains
presses hardly upon the vital and moral energies
of their less favored sisters and frequently
drives them to premature grave or to the hid
eOus alternative of the streets.-BostOn critic.

TIE GHOST OF A PRIEST INTERRUPTS THE
MASS, AND ADDRESSES THE CoNGREGATIoN.-Th
Cleveland HeraM tells the following singular
story, without vouchng for the truth of the
statement, but believes there must have been
some strange event to give rise to so remarkable
a story
About two weeks ago, in the village of Latrobe,
in Western Pennsylvania, n solemn mass was
performed in the Roman Catholic Church, for the
repOse OF the soul of deceased priest. num-
Der of wor-hipers were in the church at the time
Just as the officiating priest about to perform
the most solemn part of the rites, his purpose
was checked by an astonishing appearance. The
form of the deceased priest himself appeared
in front of the altar, with hand uplifted in a
warning manner. The officiating clergyman
stepped back, when the ghOstly priest or presly
ghost, addressed his brother in the flesh aud the
congregation. lie said they were taking unnPc
essary trouble TO get him out Of purgatory. The
priest might save his prayers and the penitents
their pennies. They could never get him out of
purgatory, because he was never in it. Further
more there no chance for him to get there,
there never was such place as purgatory. 1t
was all mistake. He should feel much obliged
if they could get him out of the spot where he
was, but that was impossible. There was but two
places of future existence, one of perpetual bliss
and the other of perpetual punishment. Only
two priests ever went to Heaven-and he was
not one of them. He therefore warned them
that their masses for the repOse of his, or any
other deiunct PERSONS soul were useless.
With that admoniton this remarkable ghost
disappeared, and the congregation dispersed
