The saying IS wise, though it sounds like a jest.
That The gods don't allow to be in their debt,
For though We may think we are specially bles;
We are certain TO pay for the favors we Eetl
Are Riches the boon? Nay, be not elate;
The final account isn't settled YET:
Old Care has mortgage on every estate,
Ano that's what you pay for the wealth that you get


Is Honor the prize? 1t we're easy to name
W hat sorrows and perils her pathway bese;;


Grim Hate and Detraetion accompanying Fame
And that's what you pay Tor the honor you get!


Is Learning treasure? How charming the pair
When l talent and culture are lovingly met;


But labor unceasing is Rrieyous TO bear.
And that's what you pay for the learning you get.


Is Genius worth having? There isn't doubt:
And yet what price on the blessing is set


To suffer more with it than Ounces without
Fer that's what you pay for the genius you get


Is Beauty blessing2 To have it for nOught.
The gods never grant TO their veriest pet;


Pale Envy reminds You the jewel is bought,
And that what Jou pay ior the beauty you get.
But Pleasures? Alasi-how prolific Of paini
Gay Pleasure is followed by gloomy Regret;


And often Repentance is one of her train.
And that's wnAt you pay for the pleasure you get.
But surely in Friendship we all may secure
An excellent lift: never doubt-and yet


With much 10 enjoy there s much to endure
And that's what We pay for the friendship we get
But then there is Love: Nay. speak not too soon:
The fondest of hearts may have reason to fret;
For Fear and Bereavement attend on the boon;
And that's what We pay for the love that we get.
And thus il appesrs--thoueh it sounds Ike lost.
The gods don't allow to be in their debt;
And though we may think we are specially blest.
We are sure to pay for whatever We geti

A Baltimore correspondent writes: 8


"a Shareholder in Dorchester county,
in this State, recently said to his slaves
that they had his permission TO volunteer
in the army. but requested them, when
they had made up their minds togo, to-
inform him, and as they had driven him
many a time to Cambridge, he would him
self drive them in his carriage thither on
this important mission. Surely enough,
they needed his request, and he drove
them to town in his carriage on their way
to Baltimore, after fitting them out quite.
literally Last Friday he came to the city
and went out to Camp Birney to get bis
certificates for the three hundred dollars
substitute money for each slave. and to,
grant his obligation to free them when
the State laws would allow him to do so.
They met him as affectionately and as de-
as sons would meet ffath-
er But this is an isolated case in the.
dark field of slavery" 80 -

A week or two since Southerner ar
rived in this city, bringing with him n
very large sum in cash, stated at upward
of TWEEN ty-fve thousand dollars, which he
probably intended 10 invest in Northern
securities for future benefit, preferring
the substantial stocks of the hated yam

tutions of his beloved but at present rath-
er dilapidated Confedercy. By chance
merchant of this city ascertained that this
stranger had been in times previous to the
rebellion a customer of his house, and
was still debtor to the extent of several
thousand dollars, which he had either for
gotten or designedly neglected to pay
The place of deposit of the debtors val


uables was also ascertained, and armed
with the proper legal authority placed in
the hands of an officer of the law, he pro-
ceeded to make levy upon the same to
the extent of his demand, with interest,
after which the balance was returned to
the stranger, who perhaps from fear that
other creditors might further deplete his
coveted hoard, disappeared from view and
has not been seen, though several persons
have been making affectionats inquiries
IN regard TO his whereabouts.

1t The following strange story IS go,

can English photographer, Mr.. Warner,
lately took photograph of the eye of an

amuing the impression through the mi
croscope, distinctly perceived, depicted
on the retina, the exact delineation of
stones with which the slaughter house
was paved, being the last object which

This is not the policy of the Democracy,
but It is the policy Of the Republican party,
as we propose to prove. The records OF
Congress show that Lovejoy, of this state,
during the last Congress- upon hearing OF
the arrest of two uiggers. offered resolution
ihstructing a committee to inquire into the
facts, which resolution passed by vote of
two to one. Then here is positive proof
that the nigger is entitled to know the
causes, why's and wherefores of his arrest.


Now let us see the other side. At the
opening of the present session of Congress,
the Hon. w. A. Richardson offered resolu-
ton inquiring into the causes why WHITE
men of Illinois, without charges being made
against them, were detained iG the various
forts and bastiles in the country, and this
resolution was voted down by the same vote
that the first one was voted up. Is this
not declaration. on the part of Republicans,
that niggers have rights which white men
have not? The white men of Illinois are
not to know why they are imprisoned, but
niggers in Washington must know why they
are imprisoned. The Syst resolution was
adopted upon the motion of Republican
member of Congress from this state. aud the


last resolution in favor of the white man
was rejected on the m otinn of the same Re-
publican. How do you like it? Is Illinois
to be disgraced and degraded by this vile
Lovejoy for any length of time? He is a
disgrace to bis race and state.-Freeport

PROSPECT OF CHEAP RAILROAD TRAvELIIna-
