SOLD INTO SLAvERY-"CarlM Marsh is sold
ipto slavery" said man to me one day.
"Sold into slaveryT I cried. "Is there
anything like that nowadays"
"Indeed there u.s." was his answer.
"Who bought him, pray?"
"Oh it is a firm and I make bold to say
they own good many slaves, and they make
shocking bad masters"
"Can it be so, in these days? Who are
they? 1 asked.
"Well, they have agents and runners every
where, who tell a pretty good story, and get
hold of folks. But the names of the firm
dare say you have heard Of them-are spir-

had heard of them. 1t is firm of bad
reputation; and yet how extensive are their
dealings What town or village but has felt
their influence? Once in their clutches, it is
about the hardest thing in the world to break
away from them. You are sold, and that is
the end of it-sold to ruin, sooner or later.
l have seen people try to escape from them.
Some, it is true, do make good their escape; !;

PULL, ADAM, PULL.-There was lad in
Ireland who was put to work in linen fac
tory and while at work there, a piece of cloth
was wanted to be sent out which was short
of the quantity that it ought to be, but the
master thought it might be made the length
by little stretching. He thereupon unrolled
the cloth, took hold of one end himself and
placing the boy at the other. He then said:
"Pull, Adam, pull !"
The master pulled with all his might, but
the boy stood still.
The master again said:
"Pull, Adam, pull p
The boy said II can't"
"Why not" said the master.
because it is wrong" said Adam, and
he refused to pull.
Upon this the master said he would not do
for linen manufacturer; but that boy be-
came Rev. Adam Clarke, and the strict prin-
ciples of honesty of his youthful age laid the
foundation of his future greatness.

confinement in the county prison fer break
ing Jail, attempted TO end his lite by taking
laudanum. At eight O'Clock in the evening
be was discovered by another prisoner TO
be sick and vomiting. Mr. Nolan, the
turnkey, went into his cell at9 O'Clock to
lock mp and found him crying. Upon be-
answer, but fnallay admitted that he had
tried to poison himself He then showed
the bottle which had contained the lauda-
nnm. He said he was tired Of life and tha [
he bad lived bad life. 1t is not known
how he procured the poison, bnt it was n o
doubt passed to him by some person on the
outside OF the jail. Youe says he got it
under the pretense OF having the toothache.
He also acknow lodged that he had tried to
kill himself few days before by taking
lnorph iue, but did not get enough. An.px-
animation OF the bottle by the Jail physician
showed that Youle had taken about two
ounces of laudanum-enough to kill ton
mcn-but the overdose, by making him
| velnit, saved his life. Youle is still under
the DOCTORS care, bnt out OF danger.
