rs NOT LABOR HONORABLE?
July 4, 1860.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-The question of one of
your correspondents in your last issue, SIS
not labor honorable2" wakes within my
heart an emotion of regret, that such a
question is needed in this enlightened age,
this age of progress, for it is shame and
disgrace to any nation, that now, in the
noon of the nineteenth century, people are
despised for earning an honest livelihood.
Truly there is dignity in labor unknown
to the drone in the worlds great hive, and
the time is coming when the true nobility
shall be those who have hewn out their
path to greatness, by the labor of their own
brawny arms and brave hearts. There is
too much false pride among the young
people of our race, too much apeing the
airs of city fops and brainless maidens,
whose only passport to good society is their
parents wealth. Our parents have had to
battle with stern oppression, and it is only
by earnest labor that we can place ourselves
upon civil and social equality with the more
favored race. knowledge is power" said
Lord Bacon, and there is no knowledge
without labor. We cannot all be teachers
or preachers, indeed, we have too many of
the latter class already. Some of us must
do the hard work, and with hearts beating
to the thrilling music of freedom and en-
franchisement, the hard-handed sons and
daughters of toll are the true benefactors
to our race. Yes, friend, Worker, labor is
honorable Did not the Supreme Being
speak amid the laundering of Sinai's
Mount, saying: "Six days shalt thou labor

ANECDOTE OF TOUSSAINT.

In the time of the French Republic, the
government of St. Domingo, administered
by Toussaint DOuverture, was at war
with England, then trying to reduce the
island and restore slavery. An English
officer named Rainsford, being driven on
the coast by stress of weather, was seized
and brought before the tribunal as spy.
A courtmartial was held, at which Gen.
Christophe, afterwards Emperor, was pres
ent. The proceedings were fair accord
ing to the rules of war, and the decision
was that Lieutenant Rainsford was spy.
He was accordingly condemned to die.
Toussaint was absent and the decision
was sent to him for his approval
For several days Lieutenant Rainsford
lay in dungeon awaiting death The
women of the island pitied him, and mani
tested their sympathy by bringing him
sweetmeats, fruit, and flowers. When
Toussaint returned, be said: :.
"The sentence you have passed is un-
doubtedly just, according to the rules of
war But why should we kill this stran-
ger. He is helpless and alone. Let u

+. he folded his arms calmly, and said, ''Let tn
gbt enter }"
Light, more light The shadows deepen,
And my life is ebbing low;
Throw the windows widely open
Light, more light, before go.
Softly let the balmy sunshine
Play around my dying bed,
Ere the dinly lighted valley
with lonely steps shall tread.
Light, more light! for death is weaving
Shadows round my fading sight,
And fain would gaze upon him
Through a stream of earthly light
Not for greater gifts of genius
Not for thoughts more grandly bright;
All the dying poet whispers
Isa prayer for Gght-more light
Heeds he not the gathered laurels
Fading slowly from his sight;
All the poets aspirations
Centre in that prayer for light.
Blessed Jesus, when our day-dreams
Melt and vanish from the sight,
May our dim and longing vision
Then 6e blest with light-more light.

Macedonia is a settlement principally of
colored farmers, about ten miles from Fair
Haven. Here we have small church,
which is well attended There are num-
Der of young people in this place There
is day school here, kept by Mr.. J. N.
Still, but I am sorry to say the people do
not seem to appreciate their privilege On
visiting the school this morning l found
but nine children present at liz o'clock.
The State furnishes the means to carry on
the school, and all that the people have to
do is to send their children. How differ
ent this from what it is in Baltimore and
Washington, where there is no provision
for our children but such as we make out
of our own scanty means. Here land can
be bought for from ten dollars per acre
upwards. 1t would be well for some of
our enterprising Southern people to turn
their attention in this direction, for there
is room enough here, and would be gladly
received and are much wanted-1 mean
such as wish to engage in farming and gar
dening, and have little capital to COM
mence with. think they could make it
day well in few years

place at Fair Haven next Sabbath, the Sth

chosen companions of our Saviour the
laborers of Gallilee7 and shall we doubt
the honor of labor, consecrated as it is by
the infinite Jehovah, and baptized by the
sweat of patriarchs, prophets, and good
men of all ages? Nayl let us rather
rejoice that we have those among us
who are determined to work their way up
to wealth and responsibility, nothwith-
standing the sneers and SCOTS of their ene-
mics. So far from its being dishonorable
to labor, it is dishonorable to remain in
idleness in these troublous times, when
all our energies are required to stem the
tide of tyranny and oppression brought to
bear against us, and l rejoice that l have
been so educated, that when my voice and
pen will not support me, my hands will
and may the time speedily come when
moral worth shall be the standard of re-
spectability, whether beneath the home

CHATHAM STREET CHAPEL.

Mr.. EDToR:--I have read the article in
the Sunday Times" of July 1, 1860, en-
titled "0ld Chatham Chapel" by Spencer
WCone, and, agreeably to your request,
furnish yeu the following comments upon
it:
The writer, you inform me, is son of
the Rev. DR.. Cone, a late distinguished
Baptist minister of this city. l am sorry
that son of his writes for Sunday news
paper, and especially that he writes about
matters of which he is ignorant, or which
be grossly misrepresents. 1t is charitable,
however, to suppose that he believes what
he says, however widely it differs from the
facts in the case
The article is full of mis-statements, but
have time to point out only few of
them The writer, in speaking of the con-
version Of the old Chatham street Theatre
INTO place Of public worship, says it had
suffered little alteration except the reno
val Of the stage and the hiding Of the the
atrlc VanitieS of the tiers of boxes under a
more sober coat of sad-colored paint"
Neither was the stage removed nor the
boxes re-painted. The scenery was re-
moved, Of course; the "pit" was boarded
over pulpit and slips were made; 9th
erWlSe the interior remained unaltered
heV Dr. Cone, chairman of a committee
from the American Bible Society, approved
the alterations, and reported in favor of
tue Society holding its annual meeting in
'ne chapel, rejoicing, doubtless, as he had
soOu reason to do, that theatre had been
suppressed and the building converted into
place public worship.
lhe writer proceeds to say that arthur
and Lewis Tappan, and the Abolitionists
O' that ilk, got lease of it for their Socie-
y Mr. Arthur Tappan had nothing to
~ with the lease, and the building was not
,i niIsu 'OF any abolition" Society, but for
Puoiic worship. The lease was taken be-

u ne writer proceeds to state that the
sacred Music Society" to whom the large
'oOm was under-let by the lessees one eve
mug every week, had called special

OUR PATERSON LETTER.
PATERsoN, N. j., June 80, /:

PATERSON, n. D., June 0U, 1901
Mr.. EDIToR:-The Republicans of this
city recently held meeting to ratify the
nomination of Lincoln and Hamlin. Among
the speakers was the Hon. Owen Loveioy,
of Illinois, who made speech Astounding
with the noblest anti-slavery sentiments.
He avowed his refusal to take constitu-
ton from the shrivelled lips of Taney, but
would appeal frcm this Jesuit judge to the
mighty mass of living hearts in the nation.
The more radical his utterances, the louder
he was applauded. The "Wide-Awake
Club" the duty of which is to escort the
speakers, preserve order at the meetings,
&c, paraded the principal streets. Much
enthusiasm was manifested.
Since that strawberry festival was held,
nothing noteworthy has transpired among
our people. The singing-school mention
ed in preceding letter has ceased to -four
ish. A wag suggests that it might have
been more successful if carriages had been
provided to convey the scholars to and
from the school
The seventeen-year locusts ,(cicada sep
te'sdecem) have swarmed in the adjoining
country this summer. They do no dam
age beyond singing twigs of trees, in which
they deposit their eggs. A.P.s.

They say these stars do shine more bright
Than those of the Northern zone,
And these skies do glow with warmer light
Than freedoms land doth own.
They tell me that where the bondmen flee
My brothers starve and die
But oh l would go where my kith are free,
And with them in their cold graves lie.
No greater boon than this crave,
For this my spirit yearns
The spirit of freedom, though but slave,
Within my bosom burns.
And in this hut so dark and drear,
Gazing out upon thu sky.

And free myself or die
No more the white mans whip shall scar
This body bruised and sore;
I'll steer my bark by the bright north star,
And sail for freedoms shore.

Innumerable persons, who are now alive and well,

TIE ANTI-DoUGLAs MEN Is MASSACHUSETTS,.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press thuswallls intosome eastern papers:
The Anti-Douglas feeling in Massachu-
sets is simply a matter of cash and not of
country. The newspapers which keep
the caldron of sedition to National Dem
ocracy seething in that State are all sup
ported. one way or another, by Federal
pap. For instance, the editor of the Bos-
ton Post" is naval officer, and abuses
Douglas to the amount of five thousand
per annum. The editors of several OBJ
scure papers are men of letters-that is.
postmasters. The editor of the Pittsfeld
Sun" is postmaster OF that town at the
rate of two thousand. The editor of the
Lawrence Sentinel" takes charge Of the
post-otfice there for something over one
thousand. The editor of the Essex coun-
ty Democrat" docs likewise for his local
ity. being rated at one thousand eight
hundred year. The New Bedford Times
is edited by the naval officer of that whal-
ing village; the Greenfield democrat"
has its conductor in an eighteen-hundred
dollar Office IN the custom-housc, ard the
Lowell advertiser" has two thousand
for something or other. Thus the patri-
otto fervor of these men is easily account
ed for. They are all ready to secede.
