REDEMPTION FROM SLAVERY. Rev. j. Stel-
la Martin, one of the delegates of the Republi-
can Convention lately held in this city, has
just purchased his sister and her two children
from slavery. The girl was the property of
Rev. John Dorson of Columbus, Gorgia whose
unmarried son had seized upon Caroline (Mr.
Martins sister)as his mistress She bore him
two children, a boy and girl-both of whom
are handsome quadroons. The girl is now
sixteen years old and the boy nine Mr. Dor
son sold the girl and her two children, his two
grandchildren, for two thousand dollars. But
before parting with her, he writes the follow
ing letter to Mr.. Martin, showing a deep inter
est in the "Chrstain girl" whom he had kept
for his sons mistress for sixteen years:
From the beginning | have felt much reluc-
tance in parting with Caroline, not only be-
cause she has been faithful servant, but be-
cause feared to place her. or allow her to be
placed where her soul would be in danger
The city Boston from which you write,
has always been known as the den of social
mosnters and abolition infidels and as know
Caroline to be a Christian, have feared that
God would hold me responsible for assisting
TO plundge her into moral and social ruin.
May God save her. He alone can make her
freedom blessing to her. Worcester Trans

tion to exchange them or give them up. They
would not readily do it, as to any who should
be desirous of taking the oath of allegiance !;
who should avow desire to stand by the stars
and stripes. These would comprise the whole
or nearly the whole. But the President need
not wait till he takes these persons captives.
He may issue his military proclamation to
them, as well as to the whites, inviting them
to come within our lines, and offering them
freedom and protection. In their case such
proclamation is necessary. For thus far they
have had no clear evidence, that we desire
them to desert the enemy, and work for the
Union. Such proclamation would, we think,
be the means of greatly shortening the war !;
and SO great economy of life and property

Have You Enemies.

Go straight on and don't mind them.
If they get in your way, walk round them
regardless of their spite. A man who
has no enemies is seldom good for any
think-he is made Of that kind of mete-
rial which is so easily worked that every
one has hand in it. A sterling charac-
ter is one who thinks for himself, and
speaks what he thinks, he is always sure
to heve enemies. They are as necessary
to him as fresh air. they keep him alive
and active. A celebrated character who
was surrounded by enemies, used to re-
mark. "They are sparks which, if you do
not blow will go out themselves" Let
this be your feeling while endeavoring to
live down the scandal of those who are
bitter against you. If you stop to dis
pute you do as they desire, and open tho
way for more abuse. Let folks talk, there
will be reaction if you perform but your
duty, and hundreds who were alienated
from you will flock to you and acknowl-
edge their error.

A Second Moses.

A Harrisburg paper states that, during
the terrible freshet of week before last, a
cradle was seen coming down the rushing
waters near Mandavile, and being sus.
pected Of containing something, it was
watched by several persons for three or
four miles, expecting it would at some
point of its journey come near enough to
the shore that it would be safe in ven
turing after it in boat. At last, at a
bend in the swollen stream, the cradle
came sufficiently near that it was secured,
when lol and behold, N on lifting up a
light covering, beautiful JaJe ioohed up
and smiled! We remember of reading
in that sweet book of old, of time when
the daughter of one of Egypt's proud ru-
lers went to the river to bathe, when
something was seen in the distance, to
bring which one of her maids was sent,
when upon opening, q babe was seen,
which looked up and smiled. The above
incident brought this ancient one to mind
A kind porson took the little one in
charge, and althougha a week has elapsed,
and inquiry upon inquiry has been made,
no clue to the history of the little stranger
has been discovered.

A word to the Young.

When the Duke of Wellington, was
sick, the last thing he took was ltttl,
tea. On his servant handing it to him
in n saucer, and asked if he would have
it. the Duke replied, "Yes. if you please"
These were his last words. How much
kindness and curtcsy is expressed by
them He who had commanded the
greatest armies in Europe, and was long
accustomed to the tone of authority, did
not dispise to overlook the small curte,
sizes of life. In all your home talk, re-
member "if you please" Among your
playmatos, don't forget, "lf you please"
To all who wait upon or serve you. be-
lieve that "if you please" will make you
better served than all the cross ordering
words in the whole dictionary. Don't
forget three little words, "If you please. I"

A GOOD story is told of an old Cleve-
land deacon who, just after Lincoln start =
cd on his journey for Washington, went
to an evening prayer meeting, and, being
somewhat in hurry, went down imme-
diatcly on his knees ana made an earnest
prayer in behalf of the President OF the
United States, asking that God would
strengthen him and bless him in all his
undertakings, &c. Rising from his knees
he left the church, apparently having an
urgent call elsewhere. lie returned in n
few minutes, evidently in great hurry,
and Pumping again on his knees, thus
addressed himself: "Oh, Lord, it may
be as well for me to add as an explana,

the President of the United States, |
meant honest old Abe, and not that other

WHERE THEY REST.

In little valley hallowed
From the mountains verdant crest,
Far above the oceans level,
Far above the worlds gay revel,
Just beneath the vaulted heaven,
Where its first pure breath is given,
There they rest.
In the spring the wild bee murmurs
Ger the sod above them pressed,
And the hummng bird is darting,
'Pausing, humming, slipping, starting,
Slipping nectar from the clover,
And the roses bending over,
Where they rest.
There little streamlet glideth,
Smiling on like something blest;
And the fresh winds from the mountain,
Joining with that sweet voiced fountain,
Singing a ceaseless song above them,
For all nature seems to love them,
In their rest.
Now the little "Pleasant Valley z"
In pure white robe is dressed
And the winds iu solemn measures,
Chant their dirge and wondrous treasures,
Ermine robes and gems in keeping,
Winter casts above them sleeping,
Still they rest.
These are but the caskets, folded
In the valleys sheltering breast,
But, by faith, we see the shining
CT the crowns of peace, entwining
Spirit brows all white and pearly,
OF the loved who left us early,
Seeking rest.
