ly when be behaves himself and goes
strongly for emancip patton. But how will
this negro inundation affect the North and
the South
In the North these escaped negroes will
fill our poor houses and increase our taxes.
Many of them will learn trades, as they
are already doing IN Philadelphia, and
white men aud white women will he crow
ded out of employment. Already We
have more negroes here than we know
what to do with, and every fugitive con-
traband is an incubus and a nuisance If
the slaves continue to come North, let
white laborers look out for themselves s.
In jamaica and tie BaIbadoes, where the
experiment of free negro labor is being
tested, the nnIattoos are rapidly gaining
power and influence, ard white men are
being pushed 20 the wall The same eau

fare no better than the whites of those
islands
But, while this black labor is a surplus
here, it is greatly needed at the South
Cotton sugar, rice and tobacco must be
raised, and only blacks can raise it. But,
if wc permit the aboltionists to decoy all
the slaves to the North, how shall we get
them back again to the South when this
war is over? Everywhere emancipation
of slaves results in a scarcity of labor, and
in tie British West Indies, where the
want of negro lab b7rers is severely felt since
the abolition Of slavery. every effort is be
ing made to persuade free negroes to emi-
CRATE from the United States. We shall
be in just the same predicament, by and
by, and the Sou tn will be almost value

The problem Of the inevitable negro is

BY JOHN CAREY.

1t was beautiful day in the spring of

but lively village, in the northern part Of
Iowa lie had accumulated in an eastern
city, By hard work and honest industry,
sufficient means to purchase farm, and
it was the accomplishment of this design
that took him to the village above men
tioued. After hearing favorable accounts
of the locality. and finding the soil good,
and climate healthy, he resolved to make
bis purchase and at length did 50, about
twelve miles from the village, on which
himself and family settled the following
spring.
A tract Of land IN the immediate vicin~
ty of Mr.. MoRrox's, had been purchased
and settled by a family named ColITSs,
about the same tune. These two families
were lnciosed, rs 1t was, from verbal com
munication with their fellow beings, the
village as we have before stated, beng
twelve miles distant, and the nearest resi-
dsncc. six. This seclusion naturally
awakened close friendship between the ell
der members of the families, and warm in
timacy between the children, who spent
most Of their leisure hours together. As
time flew by, this intimacy grew closer,
and was fast ripening into something
stronger between the eldest daughter OF
Mr.. MoRTos, and Mr.. COLLINS only son
The parents of both parties looked upon
and sanctioned this attachmE Ct, and Mr.
MoRToS glanced forward win delight to
the day on which he could bestow bis
daughter to young COLLINS whom he con
sidered every way worthy OF her.

1iful child, and now as she ripened into
maidsnhood, exhibited extreme loveliness
She possessed none Of that mock modesty
which is 50 prevalent among the members
