was enabled TO communicate with parties

Apropos to fashionable recognition of art
istc eminenoe, the New York Tribune tells
the following good story:-Two very splen
dldly attired ladies recently made a condes-
cending visit to the studio Of one of our dis
tlnguished landscapeists, and asked the pri
vilege of looking at his pictures. The artist
was but too happy to comply with their re-
quest, and placed before them brilliant
sunset which he had Just finished. His visit
ors were lavish of those charming epithets
which ladies bestow so literally upon the OBJ
ects of their admiration. 90 isn't it love-
ly, How sweet, How natural - &c. And
then, after gazing at the glowing canvas for
few minutes IN wrapt silence, the lady who
had been loudest in expressing her admira-
ton, said with a ndiUete which must have
penetrated to the very core of the painter s
heart, "pray, Mr.. G.. is it moon light ?''
The artist meekly replied that 1t was intend
ed for "sunset.' 80, indeed :" replied
the lady Pray, Mr.. G., which do you
think the most difficult to do, pictures in oils
or in worsted - "Really," replied the as
tonished painter, Il am unable to say, for
have never done anything in worsted." :" 'Ahr
said the lady, 81 find it so difficult in work
ing little dogs to put in the eyes" But
these, of course, were exceptional ladies.

HORSE ADvERTIsEHENr.- man in
Wisconsin advertises his horse for sale, and
thus discourses -
Thou canst trust thy labor to him because
his strength is great.
Thou canst bind him with his hand in the
furrow; he will harrow the valleys after
thee
He will gather thy seed into the barn.
His strength is terrible, IN which he re-
joiceth.
The glory of his nostrils is his pride bis
neck is clothed with thunder.
He paweth in the valley, and waxeth
proud in his speed.
He mocketh at fear, neither turned he
his back from the hobgobln.
Lo now, he moveth his tail like a cedar
his sinews are as cables.
His bones are like strong pieces of brass,
yea, like bars Of IRON.
He eateth grass like an OK; behold he
drinketh up river, and trusteth that he
can draw up Jordan in his mouth.
Who can open the door of his face? yet
thou canst approach him with a bride. His
teeth are terrible round about.
1 will not conceal his parts, nor his power,
nor his comely proportions.
He is gentle, he is kind,
His tail sticks out behind"
And want to sell him for something | can

The Brandon Northern Visitor refers to a

The Brandon Northern Visitor refers to a
few Of the many outrages committed in the
South against Free tie men and opponents
of Slavery. and says:
"In the mean time who rebukes these
wrongs? The northern press, whilst record
ing these diabolical outrages, seem struck
dumb, and scarcely word of moral indigna-
ton is uttered against them. Why is this ?
Are the editors afraid that a Just rebuke of
these enormties will dissolve the Union. We
are astonished at this paralysis of northern
courage. 1t looks 10 US like recreancy TO
principle, to the rights of citizens under the
Constitution anu to God.
The Bennington Banner is the only Yer
mont paper which has lifted up a trumpet
tone against these enormIties.
1t strikes US that the Visitor must be pret-
ty careless in reading ''the northern press. -
or must have peculiar l0tof exchanges. Per-
haps however, the whole force of it's state
ment lies IN the ''trumpst tone" part of it.

sister, on the 2oth of May last, was executed
on Thursday, at Newark, N. J.
His execution had been delayed from time

but the Court of last resort finally ordered
that he suffer the extreme penalty.
On the gallows he made long, rambling
speech abounding in the grossest profanity.
He accused his relatives with being his mur-

ended his speech abruptly and made prayer

JEFFERSON ON SLAVERY.

We know that jefferson IS opinions on slav-
cry are of small account now with the new
light pro-slavery men They consider HIM
to have been a sort Of half crazy fanatic on
the slavery subject, who, if living now in
Virginia, would unquestionably be waited on
by vigilance committee with an order to
leave the State in As hours or take his chance
for being tarred and feathered, at the very
least, and escorted in that plight over the
line as pestilent abolitionist. Still, there
are some in the community interested in
seeing anything on that subject which came
from his pen. There are many passages IN
his writings in harmony with the one below
furnished us by a correspondent IhlS
one we think has not been brought much
before the public, and we are obliged to
our correspondent for drawing our attention
to it.
u.,,,, E4zors of tie Free Pre',
In reading the correspondence Of Jefferson,
find in the 1st Vol. P. 478, the following aldi-
tional evidence of hi. opposition TO the institu-
tion OF Slavery and his ardent wish for, and e1-
pectaton of, its abolition. The extract below was
furnished by Mr.. Jefferson to Mr. NJ. de Meuspier.

Paris to be inserted in that work in an article on

member Of the judiciary department.and Mr..
Jefferson was absent on the legation to
France. But there was not wanting in that
Assem- oly, men OF virtue enough to propose,
and talents to vlndicate this clause. Rut
they saw that the moment of doing il with
success, was not vet arrived, and that an nm
successful effort, as too often happens, would
only rivet still closer the chains Of BONDAGE.
and extend the moment Of delivery TO this
oppressed description of men. What a stu
pendous, what an incomprehensible machine
is man who can endure toll, famine,
stripes, imprisonment and death itself. in
vindication of his own liberty. and the next
moment be deaf to all those motives whose
power supported him through his trial. and
infict on his fellow men BONDAGE an hour
of which is fraught with more misery than
ages of that which he rose in rebellion to
oppose. But we must await with patience
the workings of an over-ruling Providence,
and hope that he is preparing the deliver
ance of these, our suffering brothers. When
the measure OF their tears shall be full, when
their groans shall have involved heaven it
self in darkness, doubtless. G d of Justice
will awaken to their distress. and by diffus-
ing light and lloerality among their oppres-

thunder, manifest his attention to the Things

guidance Of, blind fatality" P.
