Tom Corwin and the Runaway slave.

DIR. Graham, in 1852, was the pro-
prietor of the Harrodsburg, (ky)
Epson Springs, since purchased by
the Government as Soldiers Home.
He had a favorite negro named Pier
son, who was the leader Of a colored
band, and who, when not in the ball
room or pavilion, walked about in
fanltless broadcloth and kid gloves,
and it is said, would seldom talk to a
negro woman not four.fftbs white,
and never to a negro. In the height
OF the season, when he looked scorn
upon the donor of a half dollar, aud
only smiled when the eagle shone in
gold, be ran away. Being educated

been there before.
He went to Columbus to amuse

Pierson snapped dust mote from
his shining broadcloth and consulted
a gold watch, but never deigned a

you were fed and clothed; and if the

Two brothers lived in a village in
Jersey. They were twins, aud their

Alexander Campbell, how are you

For John said his baptism was good
for nothing without the baptism of Jesus
Christ. Therefore not leaving the
principles of the doctrine of Christ, let
us go on unto perfection, not laying
again the foundation of repentance
from dead works, and of faith toward
God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and
of laying on of hands, and of resurrec-
ton of the dead, and of eternal Judge
ment. And this we will do, if God
permit" Heb. 9Th chap, LIST to 3rd ".
There is one God, one Father, one
Jesus, one hope Of our calling, one
baptism. All these three baptisms
only make one. Many talk of baptism
