Re.opENrNa THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. I. N. DAvIs made speech at Jackson, Mississippi, on the 25th ut. The substance of his remarks in reference to the re.opening of the African slave trade are reported as follows by the Eagle of the Sotth

 He thought no question could ever dis solve this Union but slavery; and that nothing could save it but slavery. The border slave States are being drained of their slaves to supply the demand for them in the cotton and sugar growing States, and by this process they will finally be- come abolition States, and the Black Re. publlcans could then do constitutionally what they propose to do unconstitutional ly. He would spread the institution of slavery, South; but where, he asked, would we get the slavesa Not from Vir- ginia. Missouri. Kentucky or the Carroll. mas, for that would be suicidal. We must get them from Africa-the salvation of the South depended on the re-opening of the African slave trade. He thought the laws prohibiting the foreign slave trade unconstitutional, though he did not go into lengthy argument to prove it. He thought this the first practical State Rights question which had ever been presented to the Southern people. Slavery is do- meslic question over which the States have full control; and he thought the govern ment was tyrannical when 1t thus inter- fered with the domestic institutions of the States. He could see no difference be- tween slave being bought in Virginia and Africa. He thought it not only the right of the States. but one of the original and reserved rights; and if the conflict came between the States and the forces of the Administration, he would stand upon the gitiering sands of the Atlantic; aye, upon the beautiful shores of the Pacific and beat back the armies of the Federal Government. He thought the interest, the perpetuation, if not the very existence of the South. and her most cherished in- stitution. demand the re-opening of the African slave trade; and if the South was true to herself. she would demand i. and stand by that demand.

 He had but little to hope from the North i; fanaticism had taken the helm, and he was ready to battle with any party to beat back the tide of Black Republi. | canism. He closed }; amid the loud applause of the audience.

BE gentle, for you little know
How many trials rise;
Although 70 thee they may be small
To her of giant size.
Be gentle though perchance that lip
May speak murmuring tone,
The heart may beat with kindness yet,
And joy to be thine own.
BE gentle weary hours of pain
'Tis woman's lot to bear;
Then yield her what support thou can
And all her sorrows share.
Be gentle! for the noblest hearts
At times may have some grief,
And even in pettish word


May seek to find relief
BE gentle for unkindness now
May rouse an angry storm;
That all the after years Of life
In vain may strive to calm.
BE gentle none are perfect,

At length Edward was formally presen-

of the self-sacrifcing brother seemed on
the eve Of fulfllment, for she started when
she heard what she took to be the same
voice which, in such impassioned tones,
had addressed her in the gallery Of art, and
she raised her timid eyes to acknowledge
his salutation-recognizing as she believed
the handsome features and graceful figure
of the stranger. It was to her pleasant
surprise, and the delicate hue Of her cheek
deepened with emotion as her beaming
eyes were lifted again TO his with glad
yet bashful glance of silent recognition.


But before the interview terminated, she
experienced certain disappoint mentfrom

Let him have his play! Do not force
him to study, nor curb him in his restless
desire to seek the sweet sunshine and fresh
air |! Damp not his high spirits, nor restrain
his buoyant, eager steps. Let him wander
where he will, for bye and bye, of his own
accord, he will tire of play; and the same
energy and determination that urges him in
his sport will spur him on to study, to good
deeds and to noble conduct


Follow him if you will; the laugh that
rings on your ears, bcll-like and musical,
comes from his heart. 1t twill make you hap
py, for it will bring back to your memory
your own young days, when you also could
laugh the laugh of light heartedness.


Childhood cannot always remain young,
sprightly boyhood cannot always last. The

face, and the rosy hue win forsake the cheek.

be so now. 80 -


The time will come when he will not seek
play; when the hours that are now swift
footed and iris-hued, win hang over him and
become heavy-laden hours. Oh, then, do not
now endeavor to cut them short do not de-
prive him of his sport but indulge him, and
he will love you all the better; for hereafter
he will recall those joyous hours, and their
remembrance will gladden. him in his after
life, in his after years of toll and care.

This body has not yet adjourned, and its
present session, we believe, has been already
longer than that of any previous Grand Jury
in the county


Having taken cognizance Of the cases Of
grand larceny, embezzlement, murder, DC,
and made presentments therein, it next pro
ceeded to inquire into the long unnoticed but
notorious violations of the law in respect to
gambling. A great many witnesses have
been examined and large number of indict-
ments found. Some of them are against in.
dividuals who ought to have set a better ex-
ample in the community. Some are against
young men who have aged parents or other
relatives in great measure dependent upon
their exertions, and who have shamelessly
wasted their earnings at the gaming table
Married and unmarried men, we believe, are
indicted, and there will be general stirring
up of the community. in respect to this mon
ster evil. 1t will cost considerable amount
of money to conduct the prosecutions, but
the benefit to the community will be i'm
mense.


The Grand Jury having disposed of the
gambling cases. are supposed now to be en-
gagged in inquiring into the manner in which
certain county officials have discharged their
duties, and into the heavy amounts Of mo-
neY allowed by the Board of Supervisors
without due examination, as is charged, into
the correctness Of accounts and the warrant
of proper vouchers. If any county officers
have oyercharged the county for their servi-
ces, it will appear, and the matter be fully
laid before the public by the Grand Jury.


If the Grand Jury does indeed follow up
this business it will be almost the first time
that such body has done its duty in this
regard and it viii be entitled to the unqual-
flied respect of all good citizens Investiga-
tion can do no hurt, and those who are guilt
less will so appear. Let the CALLED jade

however that it will be shown that the af-
fairs of the county have been conducted in

 Last evening (Friday) thrill of horror electrified our quiet community the tidings sped from mouth to mouth, that young man, 17 years of age, had shot himself in fit of passion It is rnmoreds that he had been maddened by the just rebukes and approximations of his father and family, because of in his conduct. Accordingly he bor- rowed pistol. and going to tho rear of the house. applied it to his person and fired it, so close that his clothing was set on fire by the explosion. The family hearing the sound rushed to the spot, and found him weltering in his blood He said he had done it to spite his father, and at first expressed no regret for what he had done; but afterward, when he came to realize his position, he bewailed his madness and folly. The very respectable family ale, of course, plunged into the deepest grief

 The ball entered his abdomen, passed through his body, and lodged under the skin in his back. We saw it in the hands of his physician, who said this morning that he was dying.

PLAGIARISM DEFINED AND ILLUSTRATED In Rev. Dr. Adams's discourse at the funeral of Ml Choate the following passage occurs:

 "A very short time before he was to deliver his address before the New England Society at New York, asked him if he had yet written it. Not the seven-thousandth part of word, was his idiomstic answer. But said he, T believe that shall appropriate speech made at Park street church the other evening" It was charge at the ordination of young friend from Geneva, who was to labor as an evangelist in Canada Coming as the candi- date did from Geneva. it was natural for any one who addressed him to speak of the Puri- tans in their connection with Geneva. The few unambitious words on that topic, on that occasion, reported in . newspaper, were an ac- cidental spark that entered the furnacc-cham- Der of his great mind, and kindled it for per formance which will not soon be forgotten. It was like him, thus to recognize one who had done him service even nnintentionally nor did he fear the imputation of plagiarism for his taking of another mans thoughts was as when the sun plagiarises the waters, and turns them into showers and rainbows, and gorge ous sunsets, and harvests, and grass upon the mountains, and herbs for the service of man 7

GENEROUS GIFT TO PAsroR--DR BrsH- NELL's LETTER OF THANKs.-Io Me North Chmrch and Scciay of Hartford: Brethren and friends: Just before my depai ture from Hartford, l was appraised of subscription of ten thousand dollars generously made up by you as provision for my future comfort and that of my family, which, in the hurry and con- fusion of the time, felt myself unable fitly to acknowledge. And cannot do it now words have no such meaning as l require. The most can say is, that in this tribute you have only done what is like yourselves. Upon just this footing of generous consideration l have had my course among you for these twcn- ty-six years and now, at the closing of our most dear, never-to-be-forgotten relationship, you have only crowned your part in it worthily and in character

 Ministers, believe, are often compounded with or hired to go, by some small bonus from their people :; but the volunteering of a people to provision the future of pastor who is com pelled himself to cast off the burdens of his of. flee, is nearly or quite unexamplcd. And am the more deeply affected by it, that you choose to do it, in form, as matter of honorable and just obligation. count 1t one of the principal felicities of my life that have been permitted to be your minister. I began early to feel it to be so :; wanted no other calling, wanted no other place, discouraged every suggestion that proposed to draw me of to other engagements commonly regarded as promotions. My re- ward has been always coming, and is now fully coMe. In this parting testimony that you give me, honorable alike to you and to me, I think it will be seen that the relation of christian pastor and his flock can be one of such dignity and beauty as carries respect. And the char acter you haze put me on this relation, it is my happiness to believe, will do much to awaken a juster and worthicr sentiment re- spccting it, or even to make it felt as want, on both sides, that it should be relation of constancy, care, generosity and christian honor. And therefore it is that make my ackmowl- edgment of your kindness in this public way, that our common felicity ill those ties of duty 80 often terms of uneasiness, jealousy, com plalht and mutual recrimiuation- incte to better thoughts, where such indictment is wanting

 May God keep you ever in his peace, giving you in due time better and more faithful pas tor; and it will be enough if he is only as hap py in his work and place as have been before him. HORACE RusHNE11.
