70 the sHbscribers in the city and County,
to the "Ailitary Bounty Relief Fund' q
Att meeting Of the general Committee Tor
procuring subscriptions for Recruiting Bounty
and Relief purposes" to be repaid in condi-
tionsl County Bonds, it was resolved, 'grhat
the Subscribers to their fund be required to
pay, at once, the residue Of their subscrip-
tons, in order that the Committee may settle
with the County Commissioners and pay over
any surplus, beyond their liabilities, to the
County, for Relief purposes" The County
needs their funds Conditional Bonds are
issued for the subscriptions only when paid
10 full, and those who have made partial pay
ment, are losing the interest whilst the residue
remains unpaid.
Payments are to be made TO George W.
Rogers, Esq, Treasurer, (of Rogers and
Fowler,) who will give reciepts on which the
Bonds are issued
As the work of the Treasurer is gratuitous
he cannot undertake to cali upon the subscri-
bers, and the unpaid subscriptions will, after
a reasonable time, have TO be placed in the
hands Of collector The Committee hope
however that prompt payment will save all
costs and expense. A full list Of the sub
fund will be duly published By order of the

pecially in cold weather. A gentleman was
mounted upon restiye nag, and conversing
with another gentleman near where Fourth

patience with the animal, the rider jerked
heavily upon the bit The horse not relish

"SMALL LIEs."-H. W. Beeher, in a
recent sermon upon faithfulness in small
things, said:
Il do not know any buyer that pays
sach prices as the devil pays when he
buys men Here is man who sells him
self for about one-eighth of a pound of
chicory in a pound of coffee. He pre-
pares his commodity with lie and retails
1t with another lie. Every time man
commits known dishonesty, he sells his
soul, and thousands are selling them
selves by little driblets. And | think
that a man who sells himself thus, cheats
himself. No, he cheats the devil. The
devil pays too much for him. am in
formed that before the Communication sys-
TEN was abandoned by the ferry company
men of property aud standing in society,
would boldly declare that they had com-
mutation ticket in their pocket when
they had none, for the sake of going
through without paying! They lied for
one cent! l pity the devil. [ do not
know what he does with such men. 1t
is awful to be chief magistrate of parcel
of men like these. | cannot understand
how these exiguous, thrice squeezed men
cau be managed '"

when | was awakened by strange out
cries, scuffing noises, remonstrances,
rough replies, and, as staggered weakly
to the door, sharp report. Two men
rushed quickly past out of the house,
leaving all silent within, excepting low
sound which I knew to be Nlna's voice.
l called, and presently the elder woman
came, very much excited and alarmed,
saying that the men were slave .catchers
in search of Nina, who, by their going SO
hastily away, she feared was injured
The boy came also quaking into my room,
where they at last brought my poor Nina.
She was indeed wounded mortally-
whether by her own hand could scarcely
determine, though l think it must have
been in self-defence.
"She opened her beautiful eyes only
once upon me, then closed them with the
same tired, weary expression Ihad noticed
in the evening. We watched her thro'
the night but human aid could not avail
She was gone before morning-to where
she could not be sold for three thousand
dollars
"Dieu do you wonder I deserted? Do
you wonder | want to live to meet those
wretches? Glory has been my dream
now vengeance has its place" !"
Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith
the Lord" was my answer as the desert

suddenly, his proud lips quivered, con-
vulsive smile played over his fine features

FOREDOOMED.

As Autumn leaves lay sere and dead
Where fresh and fair the June flower;
bIoomed,
Amid Life's joys and sweetnesses,
He stood, to woe fore doomed.
Your hands are free to toll, but his
With unseen gives were bound in vain,
With bitter tears and passion-throes,
He strove against the chain.
Your feet, perchance, keep even time
Along the pathways in the light;
His, bruised and bleeding, oftimes strayed
Through dreary wilds of night.
His was human heart, like yours,
How hath he loved and prayed and weptl
While you were sleeping, what sad watch
His wakeful spirit kept!
He loved all forms of truth and right;
He worshipped goodness reverently;
He would have followed were they led;-
Alas he was not free.
He lived alone, misunderstood:
He wept to hear Christs voice afar,
But,-chide him not, for he was blind,-
He could not find the Star
If something holy in his life
Was blighted just before it bloomed,
Forbear your scorn, Q, world and know,
To this 1cQs he fore300med. Eva.
