Dost thou think thou art alone, And thy lot of all the hardest Hyer by frail mortal borne? Nay, my love, sweet peace surrounds thee, Angel vespers from above, Drop their tenderest notes around thee-- Object of Eternal love. Does thy wounded spirit flutter, Do thy tears fall by the way; Do the woes of nature cluster, Urging thee away, away? Love, these are the upward pressure, That to life must force the way ; Pent up spirits always flutter, Glad to break away, away. There's a princely life within us, Leaping from its bursting clay ; There's a higher pulse that tells us There must be a rising day : Soon in triumph's love we'll bear us, Unfit denizens for clay ; On to higher joys we'll waft us, Glad, yes glad, to pass away. Dearest, thou art not alone-- Though thy tears are thick descending, Though on sorrows' billows borne ; Droop not, sweetest spirits bending, Softly, sweetly urge thee home. Tis the royal life within thee, Grown beyond its cage of clay, Bursts its crumbling walls and bids thee Higher up, away, away. Amherstburg, April 29. Saran ANTOINETTE. Correspondence. Michigan State Convention. The following is an extract froma letter written bby an anti slavery friend in Howell, whose senti- ments are right : Dear Sir,--I rejoice to see your paper so well conducted, I think it well deserves the recom- mendation that it received from our State Con- vention in February last. I irust it will receive & more general patronage in our State, and be- come the medium of communication among anti- slavery men in Michigan. Our State Convention, to be holden at Jackson on the 2d of June, I consider to be a judicious arrangement, and fondly hope that our friends in all parts of the State, will secure a representation in that convention. Our county, though not numbering a large anti-slavery vote, contains many true and warm hearts in the cause of op- pressed humanity, who are invited to meet at Howell, on Monday, the 24th day of May instant, to choose a delegation to represent them in State Convention at Jackson, June 2d. Yours truly, E. F. Gay. Robert Banks. Friend Brss,--I make the following extract from a recent letter, written by our esteemed friend and citizen, R. Banks. Esq,, who thus speaks of the beautiful Island of Jamaica: " All classes seem to rejoice at the idea of the colored Americans: coming--the movement is popular, I wish they would go; they doubtless would improve their condition, extend a whole- some influence, and help to break down the sin- gular barriers erected by slavery, ignorance, and pride. In Demerara, a number of intelligent people from Virginia and Maryland have settled ; they went to work at once to restore harmony among the people, and reconcile the conflicting climate of these islands is delightful, from what [| i for superior beings --sog a) faw, ecemedcrea so beautiful, so magnificent. Strange is it in those countries where the Creator has lavished his bounteous gifts, there man is the most worthless, depraved and wicked," \ Ihave sent you the above, because I consider the opinion of a man, possessing his judgment, of some consequence, more especially at this time, when the whole country is conyulsed on the aub- ject. Detroit, April, 1852. J.C. Toronto Anti=Slavery Society. We are indebted to the Ladies' Anti-Sla- very Association, for a copy of their First Annual Report. The report is highly in- teresting, systemmatically arranged, and takes a correct view of the subject. In behalf of our much afflicted race, we tender this society our most grateful thanks for what they have done, and are still doing, for the elevation of the refugees in Canada. The following are the concluding words of the Report: "We cannot conclude, however, without stating our conviction, that these prejudices are diminishing : that the superior class of colored people, who have been driven to Canada, has had a favorable influence on the minds of many 'who had judged of the whole from the unhappy specimens which our cities tooabnndantly supply. We would earnestly urge upon the colored people, for the sake of their future prospects, and for their good name amongst the white popu- lation, the necessity of avoiding, as far as possible, the lanes and cellars of our cities: of ceasing to be satisfied with the most me- nial employments, as if they were designed to be nothing but " hewers of wood and drawers of water" to the Anglo-Saxon race ; and of allowing their temporary distress to crush entirely the noble aspirations of the heart, Let them give no excuse to their -} enemies to call them lazy; let them seek employment at once, in the country, if pos- sible, but, at all events, employment of some kind: let them keep up their self re- spect, and cherish hope, and better days will come. To others, we should say, judge not rashly--harshly, Remember what" is implied in slayery,--the utter degradation of mind and body, the corruption of morals; the cultivation of every unrighteous and unholy appetite and passion. Think of the astonishing progress in education, and wealth, and respectability, made by the free people of color, as a class in the U. 8. under the most unfavorble influences ; and encourage, rather than drive to despair, those who have so long been the hapless victims of relentless cruelty. Give. them an opportunity of developing tke better parts of their nature ; supply them with the means of employment in your fields, and of education in your schools and colleges ; and then, but not till then, will you be authorized to say that they are incapable of refinement,--of civilization,--of truth and honor. " Finally, in a Christian spirit we would ask the Slaveholder to reflect, that God has made all men of one and the same blood (Acts xvii. 26), that all are redeemed by the same Saviour, and are brethren (1 Tim. i 2; Philem. 16.),--and, if ' brethren,' can- not be 'chattels' or 'things ;' and if not 'chattels,' cannot be held as property. We would ask him (for we desire his good, as well as that of the slave) to ponder well the meaning of those Scriptures, 'There is no respect of persons with God,' both mas- ter and slave being, as regards the interests of eternity, on a level. ' Forbear threaten- ing,' for ' both your and their Master is in heaven.' 'Masters' do the same things unto your slaves, as they are bound to do to you; @_.e. 'give unto your servants (slaves) that which is just and egual.' Compensate them fairly for their labor. 'Justice' demands that the slave should enjoy his natural rights, 'lite, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness ;' and *Justice' imperatively requires that you withold not that equality to which, in the arrangements of God's providence, and. according to the teaching of God's revelation, he is entitled. If you, aud if all would act upon the principle laid down in the Heaven-taught rule, 'do unto others as you would that they should do unto you,' injustice and cruelty, of every sort, would soon disappear, and that happy time would speedily arrive when ' every bond should be broken, and the oppressed would go free,' and that which is now but the anticipation of poetry would become the realization of fact :-- " Black, white, and bond and free-- Castes and proscriptions, cease: The Negro wakes to liberty-- The Negro sleeps in peace.

W,' MAY 90, 1850, nati, Ohio. ; The following are the most important of the resolutions adopted at the Anti-slavery Convention : Resolved, That Christianity, in its true and highest acceptation, commends itself to the judgment and the hearts of men, be- cause it directs to God as the common Father of us all, and places mankind on the commun platform of fraternal equality. That they are the only true expositors of Jesus Christ's doctrines, who recognize in eyery man a brother, and so use the Scriptures as to promote love thereby be- tween man and man, and the temporal and spiritual interests of the whole human family, without respect to persons. That there is a law higher than all the enactments of human codes--the same throughout the world--the same in all time; and by that law,--unehangeable and eternal, " Man cannot hold property in man," and that when the statutes o/ Legislatures are subversive of this "higher law," it be- comes the duty of good citizens to regard them as the edicts of foul conspirators against the rights and liberties of all man- kind. j That slaveholding is the great disturbing force in the American Government; that while that wicked practice continues, peace- ful and harmonious legislation will be im- possible; that slavery is, in its nature, opposed to the office and authority of civil government; and that until the whole slave system is abolished, and the weakest and humblest inhabitants of the land are clothed with their natural liberty, protected in their persons and property, our national government will not have exercised its proper functions, fulfilled the conditions of its existence, nor performed the solemn oath under which it is constituted. That as for the Fugitiye Slave Act, we loath and detest it, and will destroy it ; that the panting fugitive shall never need bread when we can give it, nor shelter when we can afford it, nor help in his flight when we can render it; and we will holdin utter abhorrence the heartless man-hunter, whe- ther he comes in his own or in the name of the United States. That the past actions and present indica- tions of the Whig and Democratic parties alike forbid the hope, that either of them can be won to the cause of freedom by voting and otherwise acting with them, that they are both sold and bound to slave power, and are not to be wed by the friends of emancipation, but abandoned--not to be preseryed but broken up and destroyed-- for the reason that while they exist as na- tional parties, they must look for success by means of the votes and co-operation of slaveholders, and will be controlled by slaveholders. That slavery in this country is not only Southern, but ational, all parts of the country being implicated in its guilt, and bound to help in its overthrow. That any State whicl permits one man to use over another within its jurisdiction, a power derived from any dependent on the relation of master and slaye, is a slavehold- ing State. That the immediate abolition of slavery, not only in the District of Columbia and the Territories, but in every State of the American Union, is the constitutional as well as a moral duty, and that its faithful execution is imposed by. all the de: lared purposes of the Constitution upon the Fe- deral Government. Three Millionaires. A New Orleans paper has some curious commentaries on the lives of several rich men recently deceased in that city. Of John McDonough it thus'speaks : "lle had but two passions--notoriety and accumulation. These he pursued through a long, niggardly and sinful life, ad these he exhibited in his will. He clutched at his bonds, and titles, and money bags, in his dying moments; and by a will both silly and intricate, and fruitful of fraud and controversy--a mitror of his character --he sought to control and administer them after death. He cut his neglected relations off with a shilling, and bequeathed the enormous aggregate of 70 years of avarice and cunning, to communities that will never plant a flower on his grave, or moisten it with a tear." Here is a sketch of another: " Joseph Fowler was a cold, selfish, cyni- cal, vulgar man, without ascintilla of soul. whi lived for himself alone, thinking nei- ther of his suffering kindred in this world, nor of God and eternity. He was the slave of the almighty dollar all his life, and died at last without having the courage to make a will, or the grace to make, by public charities, some reparation for the selfisli- His relations, who vainly, implored the erumbs which fell from the rich mau's table, will now, it ot qj 15 oped, receive and Anti-Slavery Convention in Cincin: aniov the magnifrort ee ee ee ee ee and coined aut of tears and destitution." The third is referred to as follows: estate which he accumulated by extortion, | and large and bright--the quirl high in the forehead, one or two in the neck is a good sign; the neck well set on, and hizh, "Cornelius Paulding was a better man the shoulder blades pretty high, and con- than either of these.

Se- yeral clergymen came to reside with him, but, notwithstanding their habits of self- denial, he starved them all out. Nor did the church thrive any better under his auspices. The church government of the Baptists is a pure democracy. All the power resides in the members, and even the old prejudices that exclude women from participation in government, are not recog- nized. All are equals; and the minister in that church, out of the pulpit, has no more power than one of his flock. This orm of government was not adapted to the disposition of Mr. Paulding. He was arbi- trary and dictatorial, and the result was, that the Baptists in this city, though few in number and poor, preferred to worship in obscure places, rather than to occupy. the splendid church which he sometimes proposed to erect for them, Mr. Paulding lived long enough to learn a useful lesson from the death of John MeDonouvh. He read the commentaries of the press upon his unnatural, selfish, and litigious will. He has wisely bequeathed the bulk of his estate to his impoverished relations; has made generous donations to the Orphan Asylum and publie schools; and, we re- joice to learn, appropriated $30,000 for the Baptists of this city." The Wife's Eloquence. A woman has her husband's fortune in her power, because she may, or she may not, a8 she pleases conform to his cireum- stances, 'This is her first duty and it ought to be her pride. - No passion for luxury or display ought fora moment to tempt her to deviate in the least degree from this line of conduct. She will find her respectability in it. Any other course is wretchedness itself, and inevitably leads toruin. Nothing can be more miserable than the struggle to keep up appearances. If it could succeed it would cost more than its worth; as it neyer can, its failure involves the deepest mortification, Some of the sublimest ex- hibitions of human virtue have been precipi- tated suddenly frum wealth and splendor to absolute want. ; Then a man's fortunes are, in a manner, in the hands of his wife, inasmuch as his own power of exertion depends on her. His moral strength is inconceivably in- creased by her sympathy, her counsel, her aid. She can aid him immensely by reliey- ing him of every care which she is capable of taking upon herself. His own employ- ments are usually such as to require h's whole time and his whole mind. A good wife will never suffer her husband's atten- tion to be distracted by details to which her whole time and talents are adequate. If she be prompted by true affection and good sense, she will see when his spirits are borie down and overwhelmed. She, of all beings, can best minister to his needs. For the sick soul. her nursing is quite as sovereign as it is for corporeal ills. If it be weary, in her assiduity it finds repose and refreshment. If every enterprise be dead, and hope itself almost extinguished, her patience and fortitude have the power to rekindle them in, the heart, and he again goes forth to encounter the toils and trou- bles of life. Eforses. The following remarks upon horses, are copied from the publication of an eminent farrier in Europe, and we think them worth the perusal of the farmers gene- rally : ' The pulse of a horse in health, is from 36 to 40 beats ina minute, and may be easily felt by fixing the fingers gently upon the temporal artery, which is situated about an inch and a half backwards from the fore corner of the eye.

The more sand there is in its composition, the finer will be the flavor of the roots, and the less likely will they be to suffer from insects and disease. It is not to be understood, however, that manure is unnecessary, unless the quality of the land is such as to insure a good growth without it. Warming and highly stimulating ma- nures are preferable to such as ave more cold and tardy in their action. The seed should be got in early, and no weeds allow- ed to grow in the beds, the surface of which it will be well to stir frequently in hot weather, in order that, by retaining the upper stratum finely pulverized, the soil may have the important benefit of a non- conductor to retain the heat of the ferment- ed manure and of the soil beneath and above the roots. Maynainp IN Toe Torrreentra Century. --They had neither looked mto heaven nor earth, neither into the sea nor the land, as has been done since. They had philosophy without scale, astromony without demon- stration. They made war without powder, shot, cannon or mortars ; nay, the mob made their bonfires without squibs or crackery. They went to sea without compass, and suiled without the needle. They viewed the stars without telescopes, and measured. altitudes without barometers. Learning had no printing-press, writing no paper- and paper no ink. The lever was forced. to send his mistress a deal board for a love letter, and a billet-doux mi ht be of the size of an ordinary trencher. They were clothed without manufactures, and. the richest robes were the skins of the. most formidable monsters. They carried) on trade without books and correspondence: without posts; their merchants kept no accounts, their shop keepers no cash-books ; they had surgery without anatomy, and physicians without materia medica; they gave emetics without ipecacuanha, and cured agues without bark. Oniain or ' Uncie Tom's Canty. --The exciting cause of Mrs. Stowe's remarkable description of ' Life among the Lowly,' is. calmly and quietly explained in the follow- ing paragraph : 'For many years of her life, the author avoided all reading upon or allusion to the: subject of slavery, considering it was too- painful to be inquired into, and one which advancing light and civilization would cer- tainly live down. But since the legislative act of 1850 when she heard, with perfect surprise and consternation, Christian and: | humane people actually recommending the remanding of escaped fugitives into slavery, as aduty binding on all good citizens, when she heard, on all hands, from kind, com- passionate and estimable people in the Free States of the North, deliberations and dis- cussions as to what Christian duty could be on this head, she could only think, These men and Christiuns do not know what slavery is, if they did, sueh aquestion could never be open for discussion, And from this arose a desire to exhibit it ina | living dramatic reality.
