the effect of freedom on the feld-hand free

THE RIPPLES' REQUEST.

Throw US sunbeam to play with

Shake it and quver it,
All to the tune that the noon breezes sing.
The wild rose that hlushes
Mid green stalks and rushes, ,I
The sky-gazing lilly our coming that fears,
In v in try to catch it;
We waters will snatch it, sa
And break it in sparkles OF diamonds and tears.
Throw us a howret to play with
s. Well twist it aud twirl it.
And spin it aud whirl it,
Giddily toss it and float 1t along.
Vainly it cleavcs -
To the half-dying leaves
That stopped from the bank and are prisoners
too.
Green weeds cannot saveit,
The breeze plncked and gave 1t
To us, and we'll play with it all the day thro
Send US, oh send us a moonbeam
No longer We'll riot,
Be quiet, &c quiet,
Deep sleep we will eign, lest it leaves us again
For the silvcry beam
Loves to light on the stream,
And to stir not but dream while the night
breezes sigh:
And we scarce dare to creep
Round the lilies asleep, afs0
Nor fear it should hide once ngain in the sky.

HoNE NEwsPAPERs.-The New York Tribune
remarks; Nothing is more common than to hear
people talk of what they pay newspapers for ad-
vertislng, etc., as so much gipen to charity.
Newspapers by enhancing the value of property
in their neighborhood, and giving their locnli-
ties in which they nre published a reputation
abroad, benefit all such, particularly if they are
merchants or real estate owners, thrice the
amount yearly Of the meager sum they pay Cor
their support. Besides, every public spirited
citizen has a laudable pride in having paper q
which be Is not ASHAMED, even though he should
pick itup in New York Or Washington. A good
looking, thriving sheet, helps property, gives
character to locality, and in many respects, is a
desirable public convenience. II from any cause
the matter in the local or the editorial columns
should not be up to the standard, do not cast it
aside and pronounce it good for nothing, until
satisfied that there has been no less labor bestow-
ed upon it than is paid for. If you want good
reliable sheet, it must be supported And ii
must not be supported ina spirit Of charity Ell
ther, but because you feel q necessity to support
it. The local press is the power that moves the
people.
