Stand TO the right 'Tis the best and the surest.
Wrong may appear for a while to succeed,
But he is more happy whose heart is the purest-
A self condemned sinner is wretehed indeed.
Hate and destruction in vain may assail thee
II thou art pure when their arrows they cast
Honor and rectitude never will fail thee
Stand to the right, and you'll triumph al last

number Of negroes are employed. Re.
Gently an American ship brought sew

Some Of them had been Oh the island
nearly year. others less time; but all
regarded It AZ place OF torment.
Their diet was chiefly salt pork and
hard bread. The island IL n barren
rock, and the water In not lit to drink.
The men work In the burning sun with.
out protection and they soon become
sick. When he sailed the captain took
u number OF the slaves with him. They
were In good health when they shipped,
but slckeness soon developed; scurvy
appeared among them and within a
few days death claimed three. They
were buried at sea and everything pos.
sible done to save the lives OF the 9th.
crs. They were fed well and not made
to do any considerable work on the
homcward voyage. Just before Sandy
Hook was reached the fourth man
died. The negroes We're disappointed
because they could not land. but they
were made happy with some fresh
meat and vegetables. More deaths are

policy Of the gunno-Owners seems to be
