SPEAK NO ILL.

Nay, speak no i'll IA kindly word
Can never leave sting behind,
And oh to breathe each tale we've heard,
Is far beneath a noble mind.
Full oft better seed is sown,
BY choosing thus the kinder plan;
For if but little good be known,
Still let US speak the best we can.
Give us the heart that fain would hide
Would fain another's faults efface;
How can it please cen human pride
To prove humanity but base q?
No! let us reach higher mood,
A noble sentiment of man;
Be earnest in the search of good,
And speak Of all the best We can.
Then speak no i'll; but lenient be
TO others tailings as your own;
If you're the first fault to see,
Be not the first to make it known.
For life is but 4 passing day,
No lip may tell how brief its span;
Then oh . the little time we stay,
Let's speak OF all the best we can

THE WHITE SLAVES OF THE NoBTH.-A sew
ing girl, named Susan Lee, complains bitterly
through the columns Of a New York paper, of the
injustice and fraud practiced by the employers of
sewing girls. The poor pittance they earn weekly
is lessened By downright cheating and if a girl
complains she is told to find work somewhere else.
She thus describes the condition of her class
We, as every one knows, by thousands, in cold or
heat rain, snow seet, walk the streets early in
the morning to our work-place, carrying, perhaps,
in an old newspaper what call our dinner, often
only bread, or at best little cold meat with bread
and potatoes, and work from eight in the morning
until FIVE, and sometimes six o'clock in the even
ing, (stoppng only at to eat our cold lunch,)
for these men who have made and are making for
tunes from our labors; and who, besides stintingy
paying us, talk to us as though we were what many
of them seem to be, brutes in human shape.
And here let me say our slavery, and that of tens
of thousands North, is far more miserable than is
that of the well fed, well clothed and well cared
for colored slaves of the South, whose sympathy
expressed for from the pulpits, and no doubt,
often, too, by the very men who oppress us, and
even cheat us out of our hard-earned shillings.

entirely without foundation" We are glad to
hear it, and make the correction with great pleasure

WILL THEY Do It?-It is to be presunred-it
is to be devoutly hoped-that southern slave-hold-
ers who profess to entertain such abect abhorrenec
for northern abotionists, will no more forever
hereafter, spend their summers at northern water
ing places, and their money to enrich the enemies
Of the south as they have hitherto done. If next
summer we shall see accounts ofsouthern people
stopping ct Niagara, Saratoga, Rails Town, &C.,
we will at once say that they deserve the very
worst that northern cut-throats can send to njure
them in their property or in any other way. Ifa
single Southerner goes to sojourn at one of the
above named places, or to spend week plcasuring
at the north, let him be spotted as being bad as
Seward or Giddings.
1.-THE southern people have business at the
north, let them, by all means go and attend to it,
but remain no longer than is necessary for that
particular purpose We are opposed to disunion,
if it be possible to avoid it, and the nonntercourse
system, in our opinion, is the surest guaranty
against it. 1t will show the people of the north,
that the south get along very well without them
even in the Union, and that, when the rights of
the south are properly respected friendship and
ntecourse'wili be fully restored, and not before
