LAUGH AND SET THEM FLYING.

Let those who will repine at fate
And drop their heads with SORROW;
laugh when cares upon me wait
know they'll leave to morrow
Nv purse is light. but what of that
Nv heart is light to match it;
And if / tear my only coat,
laugh the while patch it.
I've seen some elves, who call themselves
Nv friends in summer weather,
Blown far away, in sorrows day
As winds would blow feather.
l never grieved TO see them go.
The rascals, who would heed them p
For what's the use Of having friends,
If false when most you need them
I've seen some rich in worldly gear,
Eternally repining,
Their hearts prey 10 every fear
With gladness never shining.
| would not change my lightsome heart
For all their gold and sorrow;
For that's a thing that all their wealth
Can neither buy nor borrow.
And still. as sorrows com e to me-
As soIrOws sometimes will come
| find the way TO make them fee,
Is bidding them right welcome.
They cannot brook cheerful look
They're used to sobs and signing;
And he that meets them with smile,
Is sure to set them flying.

Price of Liberty.

| a Southern paper incidentally refers to
a eolored man who had, some years ago, re-
celved his freedom by paying his master ST.
oOO for It, There are different WAYS of get
ting freedom Some run for 1t, some fight
tor 1t, and some pay.for it. This man got
his by purchase, and the price shows how
high valuation his master set on him ana
he on freedom. The high price shows the
slave to better advantage than it does the
master, so tar as all high and noble traits of
character are concerned. The powerless
slave negotiates with the master who was
backed by all the force of the slave code.
Liberty was the subject OF their traffic The
one sells freedom for 5 800 and pockets
the money with feeling of satisfaction, the
other pays the price feeling that freedom is
better than money This is the nobler man
of the two. But what motive could induce
poor slave, who did not even own himself,
to toll in extra hours day and night for the
long period that it would be necessary to la
Dor In order to raise SI,S00? He knew
that it would not In the slightest degree i'm
prove his social standing He was well
aware that it would bring him under the op-
Grafton Of the code for free people of color,
which in many respects was more oppressive
and cruel than the slave code He knew
that his emancipation would not release wife
or children from bondage and consequently
would not exempt from fear of separation
from them. Yet without single personal
social or political privilege connected with
his freedom, he was willing to labor long
and severely to raise the large sum of 800, |
to secure the ownership OF his own body anG! |
soul. No blazoned motto of Liberty or
Deathshso emphaticaly and clearly demon
strates the love of freedom, as the poor
slaves payment Of 81, 800 for the privilege
Of conscious freedom, though that freedom
was yet restricted and hampered by the most
niquitOus and meanest code ever framed. =

WHAT A Coon NEWSPAPER May Do
Show us an intelligent family of boys and
girls, and we will show you family where
newspapers and periodicals are plentiful.
Nobody who has been without these silent
private tutors can know their educating
power for good or evil. Have you ever
thought of the innumerable topics of dis
cussion which they suggest at the breakfast
table the important public measures with
which, thus early, our children become IA
miliarly acquainted; great philanthropic
questions of the day, to which unconsciously
their attention is awakened, and the general
spirit of intelligence which is evoked by
these quiet visitors? Anything that makes
home pleasant, cheerful and chatty, thins
the haunts of vice, and the thousand and
one avenues of temptation, should certainly
be regarded, when we consider its influence
on the minds of the young, as a great moral
and cialsight.-EnerSon.

AN EXTINCT RACE.-One of the most re-
markable races that ever inhabited the earth
is now extinct. They were known as the
Guanches, and were the aborigines Of the
Canary Islands. In the sixteenth century,
pestilence, slavery, and the cruelty of the
Spaniards succeeded in totally extermina-
ting them. They are described as having
been gigantic in stature, but of a singular y
mild and gentle nature. Their food consist
ed of barley, wheat, and goats milk, and
their agriculture was of the rudest kind.
They had a religion which taught them of
rewards and punishment after death, and of
good and evil spirits They regarded the
volcano of Teneriffe as punishment for
the bad The bodies of the dead were
carefully embalmed and deposited in cata-
combs, which still continue to be an object
Of curiosity to those who visit the islands.
