CHRIST W THE GARDEN. By Mrs.Ilemans He knelt the Saviour knelt and prayed, When but the Father's eje Looked through the lonely garden's shade, On that dread agon y ! The Lord of ail, above, beneath, Was bowed with sorrow unto death. The sun set in a fearful hour; The heavens might well grow dim, When this mortality had power So to e'ershadow htm! That he who ga?e man' breath mightknow The very depths ol human wo. He knew them all! the deubt, the strife, The faint perplexing dread ; TLe miits that hang o'tr parting life, All darkened round his head ; And the deliverer knelt to pray Yet passed it not, that cup away ! It passed not though the stormy wave Hud sunk beneat.. his tread; It passt d not though to him the grave Had yielded up its dead. But there was sent him from on high, A gift of strength, for man to die. And was his mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay? How may ice meet our conflict yet In the dark narrow way ? How, but through him, that path who trod ? Save, or we perish, Son of God!

From the Christiau liMpire-r, June li. early Meeting of Friends. This week our city has been visited b a cr it number of the Society of Friends belonging to this Yearly Meeting, as well as several h-longir g toother Yea fly Meeti!u in thc different sections of our country. Among the ministers present, wc notired the venerable Elia Hick?, Thomas IV e the raid, Nicholas Brown, Elizabeth Walker, Anna Braithwaite, Elizabeth Roh.vn, and several others, whose names

their pretensions. He insisted, especially, upon honesty in our religious profession, and that we should follow truth, lead

rcherever it may, without any regard to the consequences. Tlfts whole of the discourse was characterized by that strong good sense, fervent zeal, and unwavering fidelity which always distinguishes the preaching of this eminent and venerable man. His numerous friends are highly gratified to witness, notwithstanding his advanced age, that he still retains so-much of the vigor and freshness of youth, and that his mind and affections are still alive to every thing which relates to the advancement of the happiness and peace of their society, and the welfare of the iiumao family.

The practical humanity and benevolence displayed in the extract below, are worthy of all praise, and arc a full answer to all the calumnies Uttered and propogated on the subject of African Emancipation. The Society of Friends have at all times and seasons, shown themselves the most efficient friends of the suffering Africans. It was by their exertions that the subject of slavery first claimed the attention of the British Parliament, before that great patriarch of humanity, Wilberforte, became a proselyte to the cause of emancipation. From that hour to the present, the exertions of the Society of Friends have been constant and efficacious. In the future records of African civilization, their names will be enrolled with those of the proudest benefactors of the human race. Baltimore .Imirivnn. From the Raleigh (N C. ) Register, May '20.

At the annual meeting of the Society of Friends in this state, held last fall, that res- j pert able, body came to the resolution ol j manumitting and removing' nil the colored j people held by them, that were willing to; leave the countrv; and since that time j

they have been concerting measure? lor j j taming their intentions into ctrect,aud in j consulting the wishes of the colored peoj pie themselves in relation to their future, j destination, which has resulted in the fol ; 1 lowing arrangement: 120 of the number:

are desirous of going to Havli; 310 to i

i Liberia; and about 100 wish to be sent to the non-slave-holding states of Ohio and; and Indiana which wc believe embrace; the whole of the population of this descrip- j

tion held by this Variety, except a tew who have formed familv connections which they are unwilling by removal to dissolve, j and where the husband or wife is held by

j persons from whom they cannot be pu ; chased. Wc obtained thi information from Dr. j George Swainc, of Guilford county, who! j i deputed by his Sc-rirty to attend to tl. j j embarkation, and to supply the want e! !that part of the population who have made I j choice of Ha) ti for their future he me. j They will sail from our port of Beaufort,) I a few das hence, on board a vessel which j

suffered to pass unimproved, may not occur for centuries again. The African Herald records the births and marriages, the articles wanted for immediate consumption, those that will be bartered in exchange; in short, we see in a single page of the Herald, the 6rt bustle of civilized life. We cannot pass the present opportunity without testifying our thanks to the society formed for the colonization of Africa, and with no ordinary sincerity congratulating them on the success that has attended their exertions, thro evil report and through good report, amidst embarrassments sometimes overwhelming, and at all times under a fearful responsibility. Actuated and buoyed up alone by the'justicc of their cause, and the support of their own consciences, they have persevered, and glorious has been the result. Could the excellent Caldwell revisit earth again, with what triumphant emotions would he gaze upon the Colony of Messurado. Time is evolving great events, and the sacred oracles assure us, that the hour is approaching when Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands. Indian observation. It would be a pity not to preserve the following anecdote, which display s so much of that accuracy of observation which is known to be one of the characteristics of our red brethren of the West: An Indian upon his return home to his hut one day, discovered that his venison, which had been hung up to dry, had been stolen. After taking obseivations upon the spot, he set r IV in pursuit of the thief, whom he tracked through the woods. Alter going some distance he met some pcr?ons ol whom he imjtiiicd, il they had not seen a little, old, while man, with a short gn, and accompanied by a small enrr, with a bub tail? They replied in the aflirmative,and upon the Indian assuring them that the person thus described had stolen his venison, they desired to te informed how he was able to give such n minute description of a person whom he had not seen. The Indian answered thus: The thief I know is a little man, by his having made a pile of stones to stand upon in order to reach the venison from the height I hur.g it. standing on the ground: ihit he is an old man, I know by his short -tcps, whi h I have traced over the dead leaves in the woods; and that he is a while man, I know by his turning out his tees whfii he walks, which an Indian never does. His gun I know to be short, by the rn.uk which the muzzle made by rubbing tliM hark of the tree on which it leaned: That his dog is small, I know by his tr.u k-s; ami that he has a bub tail, I discovered by the mark it made in the dust where he was sitting at the time his matter was takiu'j d v. n the meat."

Anecdote of a linlly.- Some tiic between the years Mob and 17C0, a certain tall fierce looking captain was the bully ol "the Argle CotTee-house; he had the character of being an excellent swordsman, and hi lfty bearing and menacing air had mule him the terror of all the (sung officers that frequented the place. One cold afternoon as he was sitting in company with t-omc half a dozen young otlicers, by the fire, himself occupy ing the best seat in front of the grate, he suddenly rose up, took oOf his cocked hat, laid it down upon his chair, and swearing a tremendous oath, uthled, that he who moved that hat must tiht him; he then left the room. Captain, afterwards (ieneral Frazer, (who was killed at Saratoga, in the American war,) entered the room shortly after, lifted the hat from off the chair, laid it cn the table, and took the vacant seat. On this, one of the ofliccrs who had heard the fighting captain's denunciation, asked Frazer if he knew to whom the hat belonged. lie said he did not, and was told that it was captain s hat, and that he had said that he who moved it must fight him. "Did hef said Frazer, (who was an excellent swordsman, having been bred in France.) "did he?'' and, rising up, he very coolly lifted the hat off the table, and laid it on the coals in the giatc. The bully returned in time to get a glimpse of the remains of his ill-fated chapeau, as it disappeared amid the burning embers, and advancing into the middle of the room, he, with a martial strut, and voice of thunder demanded 'Whodid this?' "I did it," replied Frazer, with a sardonic grin, and turning round his head at the same time, but continuing to keep his seat in front of the grate, "I did it." You did it Sir!" said the bully, giving a tremendous stamp with his foet", and looking as if he would annihilate Frazer. "Yes, I did it Sir." On this the hero of the Argyle cof fee-house exclaimed 'Then by the man that can do this, can do any thing:' and turning ratmd upon his heel, be made a Fpeedy exit, and . was never to be seen again in that qoarter of the city.
