No; [ must have the full sum-"
Very well, will give you two hun.
dred dollars, and you give him one hun

Not bit of it. If you want him
will sell him to you as soon as to the slave
dealer, for he has been faithful boy, and
| believe that if you get him you will sci
him free"
Il want him only for that purpose,
and | am pleased to hear you speaking OF
him. He ought not to be separated from
his wife. The money you get thus will
do you no good. One week at the races,
where you are sure to lose every dollar,
will be poor consolation for inficting life
long misery on these two poor creatures.
Come, l will give you three hundred dol
lars and you give him fifty"
No, no, no! [ have said it and stick

No, [ wont; and | am tired talking

other boy and if he buys him he will
not want mine"
Now see here that man wants your
son to sell South for the purpose of max
ing money on him. 1 only want to set
him free. l will give you as much as he
offered you-threc hundred and forty dol
lars"
There now you bid the same sum,

No; if buy him that man must not
know that we are talking on that subject
till all is arranged. You remain here till |
send for the clerk Of the court, and, [ will
give all you ask"
The clerk was sent for; the papers
made out; the money paid down, and the
son of a Maryland father was made free
man by the money of Pennsylvania
lawyer, and slavery thenceforth owed him
a debt which she has now nearly paid by
her decease, but which will not be fully
cancelled until every vestige Of the foul
wrong is forever banished from the
land of the free and home of the brave"
The people of Adams county, feeling
the necessity for the services of this cham
pion of friendless humanity in the halls
of legislation, sent our friend to Harris
burg to represent them in the Assembly
While there he exerted all his influence
and efforts to promote the welfare Of the
people of the State, without regard to
creed, party or complexion. a bachelor
on the owner of large estates, which would
be, and which were heavily taxed to raise
funds to educate the children of other
people, he is the recognized father Of the
admirable system of free schools which
now exists in his adopted State. This
system viii remain, while time lasts, an
imperishable monument to the disinteres-
ted benevolence and far seeing wisdom as

TO MY DAUGHTER,
E LA,
On her 1weJth Birth Day.
by. A. b. b.

Twelve years already gone!
DO now face the teens!
Am thus hurrying on
To adults sober scenes!
Ii this be so each childish thing
Away for those more wisdom bring.
To books, to thought, to play
Apportioning well to each
Let me arise each day
Myself to learn and teach;
Not satisfied unless each night
Shows an advance in wisdom's light.
My motto, &c Onward" now
Not hurrying years agone,
But, with an earnest brow,
Pressing to catch the dawn
That streaks the morning of that day
Where knowledge sheds her honored ray
L welcome struggle, toll,
So high point to gain,
Not daunted, no recoil,
Else Notices are in vain;
But, firm in purpose and in aim,
No hindering cause e'er yet o'ercame.
Then welcome, fuller years,
to my part respond,
Not harboring doubts or fears,
Though these may circle round;
1 ,ciU in early gears secure
TIE real though the false allure.

Here is the U. S. Supreme Court =
The best faces Intellectually are those of
the Chief Justice, Miller and Nelson
The latter has an especially keen look,
with his mobile nervous features, his long
gray hair, bushy eyebrows, and keen, rest
less eyes. Miller has noble brow
Davis has e heavy, ploding look, lawyer
great in the books, but slow in digestion,
by whom revolutions whirl while he is
cogitating, and thus leave him stranded
like some clumsy saurian who has left its
story in the rock. Field, of California,
is remarkably obstinate looking man.
That is his marked trait. Grier is fat
man, unwholesomely SO. Wayne, the
Southern Judge, has good face. Cliff
ford looks as if in a state of Information,
and Swayne has tho appearance of care
full ponderous thinker, devourer of books,
but not a reader Of men. The face of the
Chief Justice is the loltiest and noblest
of them all.

Oh! Well | Remember!

Oh! Well l Remember!
Oh! well | remember
How sadly l tore
The first checkered apron
That ever | wore.
How boohed and beloved
And flooded with tears,
When my mother gave me
A box on my ears;
Then big piece of pie for the damage she'd
done
To her dearest, her darling, but good-for-
naught son.
Oh! well / remember
(They are fresh in my mind)
Those little trousers,
All buItoned behind;
How l played in the puddle
And daubed them in dirt
How my grandmother shook me
Till | screamed With the hurt,
But promised to buy me nice sugar toy,
If I'd but remember to be good boy.
OH well remember
My advent to school
How | got on the dunce-block,
And felt Ike fool;
How pulled out the paper
From Emily'S curls,
For which | was planted
On a seat with the girls
Twas punishment fraught with confusion
and pain,
But, oh should like to be put there again.
OH well / remember
When older I'd grown,
| had to spread clover
AS fast as twas mown;
And the finger Of fancy
Still points to the churn,
And the hated old grindstone,
] dreaded TO turn;
For churned and turned till as weak as a
cat,
And sweat till as wet as water-soaked
rat.
Oh! well remember
The old sorrel mare,
That took me TO meeting,
To mill and to fair
rode her blowing
Till tender and sore
Became my poor {" t'other,"
And | couldn't ride more;
But often times since have heavily sighed
To think of the "horse'' that / daily must
ride.

came up to knot of men standing on
one Of our street corners, and enquired
OF one of them as to whether he knew
of vacant house she could get. The
gentleman asked her where she was

from the South. Was her husband in
