CEMENT ROOFING.
HIS article has been thomughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience of'years has proved It to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing ill use.
\Ve call attention to the following facts :
lst—It is fire and water proofl
2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat-and cold.
3d—-It 'is adapted to all kinds Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4tlI—The cost is only about One-Half that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable.
It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desideratum to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru-
ined, while repairs are being made,
Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired with Gutta Percha Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby/insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
for many years.
Specimens of the Rcofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

The Other World.
BY MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWI.
It lies around us like a'oloud-——
A world we do not see;
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring us there to be.
Its gentle breezes fan our check;
Amid our wo ly cares,
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us thmb earthen,
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil housed!
With breathings almost heard.
The silenco,—swfu1, sweet, and calm,—
They have no power to break;
For mortal words are not for than
To utter or partake.
So thin, so soft, so sweet, they glide
So near to press they seem—
They seem to lull us’p our rest,
And melt into our com.
And in the hush ofrest they bring
'Tis easy now to see,
How lovely and how sweet a pass
' The hour ofdeath may be.
- To close the eye, and close the ear,
Wrapped in a trance of bbs,
And yntly drawn in loving arms
To swoon to that—from this:
Scarce knowtig if we wake ‘Or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
To heel all evil sink away,
_ All sorrow and all euro;
Sweet souls around us! watch us still,
Press nearer by our side,
Into our thoughts, intb our prayers,
With gittlo helpings glide.
Let death between as be as naught,
A dried and vanishul stream :
Your joy be the reality,
Our suffering life the dream,

" We're Brothers All."
The gale me win; o'er the wild
Oncé at the musing hour,
And grove and forest lifted up
Their wind harps to as power.—
And words were to the music set
As swelled the blended strain—
“Ye‘re brothers all! Yo're brothers all
From Mexic deed to Maine."
—In dope ndon t.
‘ Mount Washington, a llneof fires
To Aleghany sent,
The link~boy Lightning tonch’d the wires
And on the message went,
While to the telegraph rbplled

Ye‘re broth all i Ye‘re brothers all i
From Me c flood to Maine."
The mighty Rivers woke to sound,~—
Missouri broad and brave,—
Bold Hudson with his througiug kccls,
Ohio’s crysfitl wave,—
Niagara, gloi-lous and sIIbllIne,
Gave thunder to the strain,
“Ye're brothers alll Ye're brothers all!

Old Massachusetts took the word,—
Bright Texasjoined the shout,—
Andlittle Rhoda clapped her hands
And helped the chorus out,
Virginia bade it nobly roll
Throughout her fair down,—
“Wc‘re brothers all l We‘re brothers all i
From Mexlc flood to llama“
Then from the spirit-lsnd,.—a voice

From Peterson’s Magazine the Jammy.
“Cobwebs. "
“Hist! look here.”
The speaker was one of the two young“
men, who had some up to the mountains, on
a pedestrian and sketching expedition, from‘
Philadelphia. As he spoke, he laid his hand
on his companion’s arm.
The person, he addressed, linked and saw
alittle girl, about ten years old, advancing
along a blackberry path. She was brown as a
berry, from exposure to the sun; and her feet
and arms were bare; but there was a grace
about her, as she came tripping forward, that
a princess might have envied.
Just in front of her, a spider had 'spun his
trap across the path, and, as the young man
spoke, she slightly stooped her head, and
raising hands, pushed the cobwcbs aside. It
was this artless, natural movement, which
completed the picture.
“I should like to paint her,“ said he who
had spoken. .
“What! love at first sight?” answered his
companion, laughing. “To think of the fas-
tidious Clarence losing his heart to 9 sun-
burnt fairy. You are eighteen, and she about
ten—oh! you can afford to Wait.”
This conversation had ban carried on in
whispers. The child, still advancing, had
by this time, come Opposite to the young men.
On seeing them, she stopped, and stared curi-
osly at them, as a. young deer that had never
been hunted, may be supposed to stop and
regard the first stranger that enters the for-
est. Her bright, speaking face, as she thus
stood, gracefully arrested, not less beautifhl,
in its way, than her little figure. .
“My dear," said tbe'last speaker,would you
like to be made into a picture? My friend
here is a painter, and will give you a dollar;
if you will let him sketch-you.” .
The duh] looked from the speaker to his
friend. Something in the latter's face seeming
to restore the natural confidence, which the
frec-‘and-easy air of the other had, for the
. moment, shaken. ' She. drew, coyly, up to
. .him, as if for protection.
“I havo read of pictures," said she, gazing
up into his fahe, “but never saw one. Is it a
real picture of me you will make ? '
The artless, appealing manner of the child
went to the young man‘s heart He would
as soon have joined in- banteriug her as in
bantering a sister. He took her hand, as he
replied. ' .
“I will make as good a picture of you as I
can, if you will let me. A picture like one
of these." A
And he Opened his portfolio, which con-
tained various sketches.
“0! how beautiful i" cried the child. It
was evident that a new world was opened to
her. She posed, breethlemly, at sketch after
sketch, till the last had been examined, and
thou heaved a deep sigh. ’
‘\Please,sir,"shc timidly said at inform you

“ No,” interposed the other young man,
, “but he will give you a dollar.”

'l the young artist.
She turned on the speaker, let go the hand
with sudden haughtiness.
“I don’t 'want your dollar,” she said with
wood delicacy. '
She was turning to escape, when the artist
recovering her hand, said soothingly,
“Never mind him, my dear. I will paint
two pictures, and give you one. Come, will
that do?” ' ,
Re-assured, the c ;k the position in-
dicated to her, and Cl 3 .,-Harv_ard, for that
was the young artist’ig‘l'h'
life, began rapidly
painting. Bcfore'noon, two hasty sketches,
in oil, were finished. ' '
“There,” he slid, drawing a long, breath,
“you have been as quiet as a little mouse,
and I’m a thousand times . obliged to you?—
Take that home”: puddle handed her the
sketch, “and maybépsibthe of these days, you
’willvthink of him who gave it to you. _, .

special property. .
“0h ! yes,” interposed the other youth-
“you'll promise to be his wife, some day,
won’t you. Miss Cobwebs ?”
The child’s eye flashed, as she turned on
the spwker. Her instinct, from the first had
made her dislike this sneerlng man. She
stamped her pretty foot, and retorted saucily.
“I’ll never be yours, at any rate, you old
snapping-turtle,” and,‘asif expecting to have
her ears boxed, if caught, she darted away;
disappearing, rappidly down the path whence
she had come.
Clarence Harvard broke into a merry laugh
in which, after a moment of anger,.liis com-
panion joined him.
"‘You deserved it richly,” said Clarence.—
‘ “It’s a, capital nickname, too. I shall call,
you nothing else, after this, than Snapping-
turtle.”
“Hang the jade i” was the reply. “One
Wouldn’t think she was so smart. But what
a shrew she’ll make! ' I pity the clod-hopper
she marries; she’d hen-peck him out of all
peace, and send him to an early grave.”
Nothing more was said, for at that moment
a dinner-horn sounded, and the young men
rose to return to the road-side inn, where they
had stopped the night before. Their time
was limited, and that evening, knapsack on
back, they were miles away from the scene
.Of the morning A week later they were
both home in the city, Clarence hard at word
perfecting himself in art, and his companion
delving at Coke and Blackstone.
Years passed. Clarence Harvard had risen
to be an artist of eminence. His pictures
were the fashion; he was the fashion himself
Occasionally, as he turned over lis older
sketches, he would come upon \“Cobwebs,”
as he was accustomed, laughingly, to call the
child; and then, for a moment, 'he would
wonder what had become of the original;
but except on these rare occasions, he never
even thOught of her. '
Not so with the child herself. Nellie Bray
was a poor orphan, the daughter of a decay-
ed gentleman, who, after her father's death:
had been addopted by a maternal uncle, liv-
ing on a wild, upland farm among the Al-.
leghauies. Her childhood, from her earliest
recollection, had been spent among the drud-
gery of alarm. This rude, but free life, had
given her the springy step and ruddy check,
which had attracted the young artist’s atten-
tion; but it had failed to satisfy the higher
aspirations of her blood, and which came of
generations of antecedent culture. The first
occasiouon which these higher impulses had
found congenial food was when she had met
She carried her sketch
home, and would never part with it. His
refined, intellectual face haunted all her
day-dreams. From that hour a new element
entered into her life; she became conscious
that there were other people, besides the dull
plodding ones with whom her lot had been
cast,- she aspired to raise to' the level ofisuch;
- all her leisure hours were spent in studying;
gradually, through her influence, her uncle’s
household grew more or less refined: and
finally, her uncle himself became ambi~
tious for Nelly, and as he had no children,
consented at his wife’s entreaty to send the
young girl to a first-class boarding-school.
At eighteen the bare-footed rustic whom
the young arist had sketched, had dawned
into a beautiful and accomplished woman,
who, after having carried off the highest pri-
zes at school, was belle Of the country town ,
near which her uncle's possessions lay. FOr
meantime, that uncle had been growing rich?‘
like prudent farmers, partly from the rise in
the value of lands. and partly from the judi-
cious investments of his savings.
But in spite of her many suitors, Nelly had
never yet seen a face that appeared to her
half so handsome as the manly one of the
young artist. whose kind gentle words and
manner, eight years before, had lived in her
memory ever since. Often, after a brilliant
company, where she had been queen of the
evening, she found herself wondering, in her
chamber; if she should ever see that face
again.
“Are you going tothe-ball next week?"
said one of Nelly’s friends to her. “They say
it is to be the most splendid affair we have
ever bad. My brother tells me that Mr.
Mowbrsy, the eloquent young lawyer
from Philadelphia, who is in' the great will
case here, is to be present.”
“I’expect to go," was the' answer. "But
Mr. Mowbray being there wonft in: the in-
. ducement." . -
“Oh: you are so beautiful, you can afford
to be indifferent. But all the other girls are
dying at the very thought.” The ball came
off, and was really superb. Mr. Mowbray
was there, too, with all his laurels. The
-“great will : hich had agitated the
country for l ' oaths, ,had been con-
cluded th . y, and been decided in
favor of h . . i. No such speech as Mr.
Mowbray‘s, it was universally admitted had
ever been heard in the court-house. Its al-
ternate wit and argument had-carried the,
jury,by storm, so that they had given a ver-
dict without leaving th'e box. The young
lawyer,atlhe.ball,was like a hero fresh from

she had been holding, and drew herself up
style and beauty, arrested him the
She could not but feel that it was a great
compliment to be thus singled out from
among so many. But she had another mo-
tive for exerting herself to shine. At the
very first glance, she had recognized in Mr.
Mowbray the companion of the artist who
had sketched her eight years back; In hopes
to hear something of his friend, she turned
the conversation upon art, the city, childhood
and'cvcrything else that she thought might
be suggestive ; but in vain. She could not be
more definite, because she wished to conceal
, her own identity,for it was evident Mr. Mow-
bray did not know her; besides her natural
delicacy shrank from inquiring about a per-
fect stranger.
The next day, as soon as etiquette allowed
Mr. Mowbray was seen driving up to the
farm. Nelly appeared, beautifully attired in
a neat morning dress, and looked.so'fresh
and sparkling? in spite of the late lIOurs of“
the night before that it could hardly be con-
sidered flattery, when her visitors assured
her that she looked lovelier than her loveliest
roses. Mr. Mowbray was full of regrets at
the cruel fate, which, he said, compelled him
to return to the city. He could not [conceal
his 'joy, when Nelly’s aunt, inadvertently, and
to Nelly'ssecret annoyance, let out the fact,
that, in the fall, Nelly was to pay a visit to
an old school-mate in Philadelphia, Miss May
Stanley,
“Ah! indeed,” cried the visitor, and his
face flushed with pleasure. “I am so delight-
ed. I have the honor to know Miss Stanley.
You will be quite at home in her set,” be ad.-
ded, bowing to Nelly, “for it is, by common
consent, the most cultivated in the city.”
Nelly bowed coldly. Her old distrust in
the speaker had revived again. Through all.
the polish of his manner, and in spite of his
deferential admiratiOu, she recognized the
same sneering spirit, which believed in noth-
ing true or good, from which she had shrunk
instinctively when a child. During the in-
terview, she was civil, but no more. She
could not, however, avoid being beautiful;
nor could she help speaking that intellineuce
and spirit which alWays characterized her
conversation; and. so Mr. Mowbray went
away, more in love than ever.
A few months later found Nelly domiciled
forthe winter in Philadelphia. Hardly had
she changed her travelling dress when her
friend came into her chamber.
“I want you to look your prettiest to-night,”
said Miss Stanley, “for I expect a crowd of
beaux, and among them, Mr. Mowbray, the
brilliant'young lawyer, and Mr. Harvard.—
The former claims. to have met you, and
raves everywhere about your beauty. The
latter who is the great artist, and very criti-
cal. laughs at his friend’s enthusiasm, ahd
says, ‘lIe'd bet you’re only a common rustic,
with cheeks like peonies.’ So I wish you to
convert this herctic.”
"Only a common rustic,” said Nelly to
herself, haughtily; and she resolved to be as
beautiful as possible. Perhaps too, there
was a half-formed resolve to bring the offen-
der to her feet, in revenge.
A great surprise awaited her. When she
enter‘d the drawing room that evcn’g,thc first
stranger she 5va was the identical Clarence,
who had painted her as a barefooted little
girl; and then, for the first time it flashed
upon her that this was the great artist who
had spoken so contemptuously of her charms
Her notion proved correct, for Miss Stanley
Immediately advancing, presented the stran-
ger to her as Mr. Harvard. A glance into
his face re-assured Nelly as to his identity,
and satisfied her that he had not recongnized
her; and then she turned away, after a
haughty courtesy, to receive the eager felici—
tations of Mr. Mowbray.
There were conflicting feelings at war in
her bosom that evening. All her old roman-
ces about Clarence was warrcd upon by her
indignation, as a belle, at his slight remarks
and at his present indifference. For he had
made no attempt to improve his introduction
but left her entirely to the crowd of other
beaux, among whom was Mr. Mowbray.—-
Piqued and excited, Nelly was even more
beautiful and witt 7 than usual. Late in the
evening, she consented, at Miss Stanley’s re-
quest to play and sing. She first dashed off
some brilliant waltzes; then played bits of a
few operas; and at last, at Mr. Mowbray’s
solicitation, sang several pathetic ballads.—
Few persons had such a sympathetic voice.
and Clarence, who was passionately fond of
music, drew near fascinated. After singing,
“Are you sure the news true ‘2" “Bonnie Dun—
dee,” and others which had been asked for,
.1 Clarence said:
“ And may I,‘ too as.for my favorite ‘3”
“Certainly,” she answered, with the least
bit of but cur. “What is it.” _
“Oh: too sad, perhaps, for so gaya compa-
ny : “The Land of the Leal.” I hardly dare
hope you’ll consent.”
It was her favorite also, and her voice
slightly trembled as she began. From this
or some other cause, she sang the words, as
even she had never sang them before ;‘ and,
when she had finished; her eyes wore full
of tears. She would have given much to
have seen Clarence’s face, but she could not
trust herself to look up ; and partly to con-
ceal her emotion, partly by a sudden impulse
she struck into'the mz'xcrvre of“Il Trovato re’
Nobody there had ever before realized the
full tragedy of that saddest, yet most ,beauti-
ful dirge. Even the selfish heart of Mr.
Mon-bray was affected. When the last
chord had died away, he was the first to
speak, and was most profuse in admiration
andthanksl But Clarence said nothing.—
Nelly, at last looking towards him, saw that
his eyes had been dim as well as her ow‘n.—,
She felt that his silence was the most clo-
quent of bompliments, and from that hour
forgave him having called-lmr a common
rustic.’ ‘ .
Clarence soon became a constant visitor at
Mr. Stanley’s, But he always found Mr.
Mowbray there before him, who endeavored
in every way, to- monopolize Nelly’s atten-
tion. Reserved, if not absolutely haughty,
Clarence left the field zenerally to his rival;
and.Nelly, half indignant, was sometimes
tempted to affect a gayety in Mr. Mowbray’s
company, which she'was far from fecling.~
Occasionally, h0wever, Clarence would as-
sert his equal right to share the society of
Miss Stanley’s 'chamIing guest, and at
such tjmes his eloquent talk soon eclipsed
even that of the brilliant advocate. As Nel-
ly said, in her secret heart, it was Ruskin
against Voltaire. And the more Clarence
engaged in these conversations, the- more he
felt, that, for the first time in his life, he had
met one who understood him. .
One morning the footmau came up to the

little paneled boudoir, where Nelly and her
friend were sitting, saying that Mr. Mowbray
was in the parlor and solicited a private in-
terview with the former. Nelly rose at once'
for she forboded what was coming, and was
only too glad to have this early opportuni-
ty of stopping attentions which had become
unendurable tp her!
Mr. Mowbray was evidently embarrassed,
'an unusual thing for him. But, he rallied
and came directly to the purpose of his visit,
which was, as Nelly had suspected, to tender
her his heart and hand. He was proceeding,
in a strain of high flown compliment, when
Nelly said, with an impatient wave of her
hand,
“Spare me, sir.
so.” .
He looked-his astonishment.
‘Many years ago I answered you the same
“Whoa which you now ask.”
He colored up to the temples. “ I sure-
ly do not deserve,” he said, “to be made a
jest of.”
“Neither do I make a jest of you. Do you
not know me 1?”
“I never sawyou till this summer.”
“You saw me, eight years ago. You and a
friend were on a pedestrian tour. You met
a little,.barefooted girl, whom your friend
made a sketch of, and whom you jeered at
and then nicknamed.” And rising, she made
a mock courtesy, for she saw she was now
recognized. “I am ‘Cobwebs,’ at your ser-
vice, sir.” , .
The diseomfited suitor never forgot the
look of disdain with which Nelly courtesied
to him. His mortification was not lessened,
when, on leaving the house he met Clarence
on the door-steps. He tried, in vain, to as-
sume an indifferent aspect, but he felt that he
had failed, and that his rival suspected his re-
jection. ,
Nelly could not avoid laughing at the
crest-fallen look of her Old enemy. Her
whole manner changed, however, when Clar-
ence entered. Instead of the triumphant
saucy tor-mentor, she became the conscious,.{
trembling woman. Clarence, who had long-
ed for, yet dreaded, this interview, took cour-
age at once, and in a few, manly Words, elo-
quent with emotion, laid his fortune at Ncl~
ly’s feet.
Poor Nelly felt more like crying with joy
than anything else. But a little Of the old,
saucy spirit was still left in her, she thought
that she owed it to her sex not to surrender
too easily, and so she said, archly glancing
up at Clarence,
“Do you know, Mr. Harvard, who you
are proposing to ‘-.’ I am no heiress, no high-
born city belle, but only—~lct me see—what
was it ?——ah ! I have it now—only a common
country rustic !” And she rose and courte-
sicd to him.”
“For heaven’s sake don’t bring that fool-
ish speech up against me.” he cried, passion-
ately, trying to take her hand. "I have re-
pented it a thousand times daily, since the
unlucky moment I was betrayed into saying _
it. Do me the justice to believe I never-
Ineant it to be personal.”
“Well, then, I will say nothing more of
that matter. ' But this only a whim of yours.
How is it, that, having known me so long,
you only now discover my merits.”
“Known you so long?“
“Yes, sir,” demurely.
“Known You ?"
“For eight years.”
“Good heavens !" he cried suddenly, his
whole face lighting up. “How blind I have
been ! Wily did I not see it before? You
or ——
“Cobwebs,” said Nelly, taking the words
out of his mouth, her whole lace sparkling
with glee, and she drew off and gave anoth-
er sweeping courtesy.
Before she had recovered herself, however
a pair of strong arms was around her, for
Clarence divined now that he was loved.—
Nelly, all along, had had a half secret fear,
that when her suitor knew the past, he
might not be so willing to marry the bare-
footed girl as the brilliant belle; but all this
was now gone. .
Two months later there was a grand wed-
ding at St. Mark’s. A month after that, the
bridal pair, returning from the wedding
drove up to a handsome house in one of the
most fashionable streets in Philadelphia.—
As Clarence led Nelly through the rooms, in
which his perfect taste was seen everywhere,
she gave way to exclamation after exclama-
tion of delight. At last they reached a tiny
boudoir, exquisitely carpeted and curtained.
A jet of gas, burning in an alabaster vase,
diffused a soft light through the room. A
solitary picture hung on the walls. It was
the original sketch of her, taken eight years
before, and now elegantly framed. The
tears gushed to Nelly’s eyes, as she threw
herself into her husband’s arms.
“Ah! how I love you !” she cried.
Nobody who sees that picture suspects its
origin. It is too sacred asubjcct for either
Nelly or Clarenceto allude to. But it was
You did not always talk
of fashion, said to a friend,
“What a queer pet name Mr. Harvard has
for his beautiful bride ! In anbody except a
genius it would be eccentric. But you don’t

YORKVIPLEI NEW Yonn, .
Jan. 23d, 1861. l .
Dean BvrxoTON:——I have been acquaint-
ed with the tendencies and spirit ‘of your excel~
lent Gazette from its infancy up to its present
proud position, and because (if its sympathy '
with all who are trying to rise inI'the scale of
mOral or intellectual being; I have ventured
to ask a little space in your columns‘for. the
purpose of giving aid to your neighbor
Pomeroy of the Republican Farmer. if;
that he has turned his attention to mesh?
of that mulch-neglected “0ch Baoh”—tho Bib
TO be sure, my aid has not been solicitr
buthill venture to volunteerit under t
circumstances. The “Farmer” has cartels
established one point beyond a doubt, i. e.
that servitude did exist in the days of ti
,Patriarchs and Prophets. But he has fail'
to sho'w'that our Patriarchal institunossi‘are
in the regular line of succession. _ To assist
him in his researches, I propose to add a
few passages in connection with his, which
I hope, may aid him in coming to a knowl-
edge of the truth. The first passage he
quotes is—Genesis ix: 25, “And he said
cursed be Canaan: a servant of servants
shall he be unto his brethren.” 26th verse;
“And he said,_blessed be the Lord God of
Shem: and Canaan shall be his servant.”—
27th verse: “God shall enlarge J apheth, and'
he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Ca—
naan shall be his servant.”
III the verses cited above which were quo-
ted by the Farmer, we have the subjects of
the Prophetic Curse clearly and definitely
Specified; they are Canaan and his Pesterity.
Now I will try to find this race-as they are
spread aboad in after years:
Genesis x : xv, “And Canaan begat 'Si'don'
his first-born, and Heth.” 16th verse: “And
the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Gir-
gasite” 17th verse: “And the Hivite,,an,d
the Arkite, and the Sinite;” 18th verse:
“And the Arvadite, and the Zermarite,,and
the Hnmathite: and afterward were the fam-
ilies of the Canaanites Were spread aboad.”
{lath verse: “And .the border of the Canaan-
iites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar-
unto Gaza: as thou goest unto Sodom and
Gomorrah .and Admah and Zeboim, even
unto Lasha.” '
The five verses last quoted, show that the
descendants of Canaan settled that large
tract of county called in the Bible, the “land -
of Canaan,” promised to Abraham,'Isaao and
J21Cob and their seed, which promise was
literally fulfilled when.the Children of 1511»
el took possession of it, and under Joshua
and the Judges utterly destroyed the inhabij
tants thereof, as the Lord commanded Moses.
I will not occupy space in quoting all the
passages cited by' the “Farmer,” but only
those that seem important in making out
his case, i. e. : the right to traflic in Men and
\Vomcn, which are as follows, viz— -
Leviticus 25:44, “Both thy bondmen and
thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall
be of the heathen that are round about you:
of them shall ye buy bondmen and bond-
maids. 4511i verse: Moreover, of the chil.
dren Of the strangers that do sojourn among
you, of them shall ye buy, and of their fami-
lies that are with you, which they beg-at in
your land : and they shall be your possession.
46th verse: And ye shall take them as an in-
heritance for your children: after you, to in-
herit them for a possession: they shall be
your bondmen forever.” ,
The passages quoted by the “The Farmer’, ‘
do show that the Children of Israel were
commanded to buy man servants and maid
servants, and to hold them as a possession
for themselves, and for their children. And
that Abraham did buy bondmen, and bond-
women, and was not upbraided by the Al-
mighty. They also prove that the subjects
of that servitude were Clmaa‘g‘iand his poster-
ity, and no more. N ow if I shall be
so sudcessful as to show that those subjects
were entirely destroyed, and if without a. quo-
tation I shall gain assent to the proposition
that the Anglo-Saxons are 7203 the descend.
ants of Abraham, but of Japhoth. Then I
think I shall prove that neither the American
slave holders nor American slaves are in the
regular line of succession, and the “Farmer”
will have to “search the scriptures” again
in order to make a valid plea for American
Slavery. And now afew quotations and
I am done,—-and the first will be to show
God’s care for the strangers that were to be
reduced to servitude.
Lev. xix. 33-—-_34 “And if a stranger so‘
journ with thee myour land, ye shall not
vex him.” But the stranger that dwelleth
with you shall be unto you as one born
among you. And thou shalt love him as
thyself, for ye were strangers in the land of
Egypt; I am the Lord your God.” -
The second quotation will be given to
show that theCanaanitcs were entirely cut off.
Dent. vii. 1, 2, 20—24th verses. “When
the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the
land whither thou goest to possess it, and
bath cast out many nations before thee, the
Hittittites, and the Girgaehetes, and the
Amoritcs, and the Canaanites, and the Per-
izites, and the Hivites, and the J eburites,
seven natlons greater and mightier than thou;
and when the Lord thy God shall deliver
them before. thee: thou shalt smite them and
and utterly destroy them: thou shalt make
no covenant with them, nor shew mercy na-
to them ;” 20th, “Moreover, the Lord thy
God will send the hornet among them, until
.they that are left and hide'themselves fro
thee, be destroyed.” 21st, “Thou shalt all?
be atl‘righied at them: for the Lord thy God
-is among you, a mighty God and terrible."—
22d, “And the Lord thy God will pat out
those nations by lirtle and little; thou may-
cst not consume them at once lest the beasts
of the field increase upon thee.” 23d, "But
the Lord thy God shall deliver them ' unto
thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty
destruction, until they be destroyed," 24th,
“And he shall deliver their kings into thine
hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from
.under heavens: there shall no man be able
,to stand before thee, until thou have destroy-
ed them.”
The following quotation will show at last
that the Jewish servitude differed materially
from American Slavery—from the fact that
a discontented servant was not bound to
slay with his master one day. God’s fugi-
tive slave code being the reverse of ours,viz:
Dcut. xxiii. 15-46. Thou shalt not de-
liver unto his master, the servant which is
escaped from his master unto thee ;” “He
shall dwell with thee, even among you, in
that place which he shall choose in one of
thy ates, where It lIketh him best: thou
shal not oppress him.”
I have confined my quotations to the five. .
books of Moses, because the Farmer man; .1.
seems to prefer this class of proofs for the.» I .
support of his cherishedz‘nstfluhbns. Perhaps;
as he progresses in his researches he will.
find comfort in the books of the prophets; .
