Tot the Banner. IVOTES OP THE PAST. BY CELL. Our early home the little town nestled down amonj the native forests of the great West! We remember it still, and the remembrance recalls our childhood's days, their jovs and porrows, and awaltens anew the music of early affection In the heart. We listen to the sweeJ tones and feel that we are ngiin a child, with .a loved one still before us mingling the mnsic of T.eT gent1 voice with cur own, as she did lorg years ago. The little town, village it could not be

called, contained a church, small but tastefully built, surmounted by a dome and spire of appropriate dimensions. It was surrounded, on two sides, by a row of sheds, where early evfry sabbath morning the firmers' havy wagons and trusty teams were sheltered from sun and storm. The church door looked out upon an extended green, as it was called, across which nmrow. well-worn footpaths led from snmo white cottage home, will: green blind?, nestled cozily down a monp vires and shn le trees, to the place j w here all the people went to worship jlI?t ;n the neUhboihood there might . have been, in all, perhaps, a half dozen j . ... . . .. ... elhngs. including a t.dy parsonage. built, together with the church, nt the i instigation of a new pastor. The old Town house stood fronting the east a ruin useless in its decay; but, having once served th double purpose of school and meeting house, it was left standing, a relic of other days, for the good it had done. Its loose clapboards and sinking r . 1 1 r 11, roof told tales of many a bitter blast. while its antique styl spoke plainly of , , , ,. , " . lhe InJ' r'an ,luorlt f lli0 P'necr. - a" '- ' " "' t? . .tt nt t .1, , fnr moct fattVfiillir nainlo lrirrli morning. It is tho old red school house vou cm s"e it now just down the road as it plays bo-reep from the maple! shnde, with rougish urchins, who are goiu to be lae at school. And there is he little Mreftin v. heir, tlurirg -the long Jtimmfr noons, wc liave spent so many joyous hours watching the silver fish, or picking the wild flowers just in the edge of the wood on the opposite shore.Within we see the same oil bpnch, with is desk in front, where we used to sit. By our side is lhe frolicksomo Nell a companion, and true and loving friend through all the spring of childhood. We se no.T iho laughing dimples of her rosy cheeks, and her keen black eyes, as she vainly endeavors fo suppress a bursting laugh for the teacher i looking. But all efforts to conceal the fun are unavailing, and finally the demure mistress takes hold of Nelly's arm, and,in no gentle way, helps her to move down to the lower end of the bench. But well she bears so common a punishment, and, with the exception of an occasional note, Nelly has busied herself in writing, for the express purpose of provoking oor laughter anew, and which she slyly tosses over to us. She behaves herself very orderly nnd, in consequence, is permitted the next mor ning to resume her place by our side. We remember, too, the deacon's son, Harry B.t who conceived a boyish partiality for the pretty little Nell, and whov despite the taunts of school fellows, would often declare that his father's big larm for Harry was on only son, and his father was well to do in the world should all be Nelly's when became tobe a man. How all this should be brought about no one knew but himself and Nelly. One morning, we remember too the proud expression of his face as he did it. having entered the school at a late hour, he walked straight across the room to Nelly, and discovered the reason of his tardiness by giving to her a huge bunch of wintergreens he had gathered in the woods on his way to 6thool. They were received with a blush and a timid 'thaak-you," whil Harry proudly retired to his own seat to await the good humored jokes of his school fellows at recess time. The school ma'am never questioned the propriety of all this, and Harry endured the jokes so well, while we helped Nelly to bear the teazings of her rewlly envious companions, that it was soon forgotten. Thus passed the happy hours of childhood. But time; as to all else of earth, brought changes to the old red school house and parted our Joyous band. ' We left little Nell and our home in tho woods for one untried among strangers. Then there came sad news. Nelly was an' orphan, and must go forth alone and single handed to the conflict of life. Years flew by and Pgain we met again ve wandered through the haunts vre had so much loved, when there were no shadows to'ebb the flow of hap-

piness in our youns hearts. Absence had but strengthened the chords of affection, nd the love of each other bad but waxed warmer, as time flew by while we were wanderers. In place of the old school hou?e stands

a stateh edifice, which is pointed out to

the passing stranger as the Teacher's . and talked long and earnestly of his unAcademy. To us It looked not half so ' charitable religion wondering whether dear as the red school house under the' he 3 really a goad man as people said maple. ; simply because he was a tneruber of the Il was a cruel lesson that tho old Dea church. And in her little hf art she said

co taught Nelly when her poor mother ify sinking under the ravages consiimp tion was making in her feeble frame. We wandered hand in hand, at early tw-i.' light hour to the grave yard, where three' J mounds side by side marked a sacred spot to the solitary mourner. We sat down upon the long dark grass, and there in the stilly night hour she related the one scene of her eventful life, which still in its influence was like n spell to bind her ; heart. Nelly's father had once been nj wealthy, but. in an adverse hour it mitters not how his familv were reduced to ' .. ........ ft 'I l f..l., 1 I - .1.-.-.. from home, where better opportunities were afforded lor securing a comfortable support for his little family, and was not able to return, as expected at the week's close. Their scanty store of provisions failed them; and the invalid mother cal-j ling Nelly to her bedside, bide her go to, Deacon B. and request the loan of n littie meal her weak frame needed a little I sustenance, and porridge was all shecould take. So Nelly tied on her faded bonnet pinned the little shawl around her delicate frame, and then with her little brotheT for company started to the house of the good Deacon.. Nelly's mother was a de votedly pious member in the same church I loving charitable a 0 christian, whose nctior. ml kind a true nctiors belind not her profession. It was full half a mile to the 1 farmer's house, but finally Nelly reached it, and then, faintly, half hopeful, half afraid, presented her petition for a little meal "father would be home certainly in another week and would pay him for it.' Tri nll mn frnirn! unit risinc? from his eat baforc bright blztn fir; htstily exclaimed, "pay! let your father support his own family," but after a moment's pause continued, I suppose you will have to bav tome," and taking the little sack from Nelly ho half filled it, and said as he returned it to her "Tell your mother there are six pounds, if you are careful it will last you until your father returns." The pious Deacon for got that no blame could attach to Nelly's father for the loss he had sustained; that he was working, that, too. at the sacrificeof leaving his dying wife and young children the belter lo provide' for their necessities. He thought not of the long prayers he had made for the sick and destitute that he would say ''be. ye warmed and filled" without- lending a helping hand to the needy poor. Nelly's little heart was full, and gently thanking the sordid man. Ehe left the house quickly to prevent the tears that already glistened in her eyes from being observed. For Nelly wes proud and would fain have refused what was so grudgingly given had not thoughts of her poor mother been stronger than all. It was nearly dark when the little travelers reached their homa, with their bare feet very cold and almost blistered from walking upon the rough bare ground. But the Angel of mercy had been strewing comforts around the little log house'during the childrens' nbsence, and they wondered, as they entered and saw the room bo well lighted and made so pleasant by the great fire, that crackled so cheerfully upon tho hearth, they wondered who had prepared tbem such a welcometet not long, for soon a man entered with a large armful of wood which he threw down by the fire to dry enough, Nelly thought, to last them a whole day. It was the good Captain Lindsey whom everybody loved because he made everybody happy around him, was so full of fun and hearty laugh, and above all - was so loving and truly charitable doing good when there was need, and in tuth a quiet, unassuming manner, as never to offend, even the most delicate heart. He had the children sit down before the fire, and he stayed to talk with them nnd 'get their spirits up1' while they were warming themselves. Then he rose, to leave, telling Nelly first, that she must get herself and little brother some warm supper right away. It was so strange how the good old man could crowd so many comforts and luxuries in so small a space; but that was just liV-r Captain Lindsey and like nobody else, Nelly thought. In a little while supper was

ready and as they were about sitting r! c u 1 r & criminate emancipation. In some of ihe down to the best meil that had been be.;guteg tnc nurnber ofslares spproximates

fore them for miny a long day,, the door

quietly opened, and there entered one whose presence alone could innke them completely happy. Smiles and tears of joy welcomed the lather, and together the little family assembled around the peaceful board. Nelly told the story of her

reception nt the hr-use of tht old Deacon. she preferred the gcJ Captain's practi cal religion alte iu tnotign peojne sain he was not a christian. She. was vre that Ac was good. That same evening the Deacon's bounT-ves returned in full ' measure to his granary, end Nelly had . learned a lesson never to be forgotten. A few short months and another Angel of mercy came usbidden. It was the Angel of Dealh, and ihe pale sufferer was released fr nn her burden. Deacon B. came with hia wag-'n to carry the three mourners to the church and crave. It was late on the afternoon of a chill v da !. . . . n 1 . A,.nr.?.M..I K I pious man wondered as he drove before his own door, if Neily and her früher and ; little brother could not walk the rest of the way home, il was but half a mile farlKtr. That nirht in the little log house two desolate hearts the mpther' less, threw! themselves down upon the blanket before tha great fire place and sobbed themselves In sleep". In one shorl year the grass had grown upon the mother's nnd Willie's grave; but by their side was a freshly mad mound. Nelly wns indeed an orphan! Captain Lindsey took Nelly home with him and maüe her his own daughter. Bui there was in her little heart, made- MrötJg by trial, an insa liable thirst for so.neihing beVter than she had known. So she went forth to the coinbtt of life sttcng in purpose and hopeful for the future. Harry has followed in lhe footsteps of his father, lives on his farm, accepts of his' Puritanic religion, and has received the final . blessing tf the good old man, forgiving hi and his. havd 10 the diughier o a .weilihy aiid piou brother in the church. They call Nelly an unbeliever, because she still insists on a pratical religion, such as keeps tho conscience clear and the heart warm: and, struggling alone through the midst of poverty, she has developed n bright genius, nnd now the unfading laure's of true merit are thrown at her feet. Henry flay on the Subject of Slavery It is wel), now and then, to look M the opinions of lhe departed great. The poo pie of Indiana remember when Clay pas sed through the Stale, in October, 1852 and had a frstival-reception here. In deed, his progress through the whole State was a triumphal march. At Rich mond he made his famous Mendenhall m . a speecn, one oi tre very nest ne ever made. In those days it was not necessa ry to be a Democrat in order to speak and write rationally on the subject of Af rican Slavery, But now, any man in the freo States who abjures fanaticism on that topic, is a Democrat in principle. whether he calls himself so or not;-for the grent question cf the age is, lieason or folly on the subject of Slavery and the Democrats have the side of rcnson. The sentiments of the sage of Ashland. which were received wiih so much ap plause, could not be uttered now except in a Democratic meeting. Any man, out of the ranks of Democracy, who advoca ted them, wouli be politically damned We republish a part of the Mendenhall speech, and recommend it to all who thirteen years ago, thought it so good, and ask them if the intrinsic merits are not the same now as then. In his answer to Mr. Mendenhall, at Richmond, Indiana, October 1, 1842, Mr. Clay said; I know the predominant sentiment in lhe free States is adverse to Slavery but, happy in their own exemption from whatever evils may attend it, the greal mass of our . fellow.citizens there do not seek to violate the Constitution, or to disturb the harmony of these Slates. I desire no concealment of my opinion in regard to the institution of Slavery. I look upon it as a great evil, and deeply lament lhat we have derived it from the parental government, and from our an cestors, 1 wish evtry slave in the United Slates was in the country of his ances tors. But here they are. and the question is, how can they be bf st dell with? If a state of nature existed, and we were about to lay the foundations of society, no man would be more strongly opposed than I should be, to incorporate the icsti tuiion of Slavery among its elements. But there is an unealculable difference between the original formation of society and a long-existing organized society, with its ancient lawa, institutions.' and establishments. Now, great as I ac knowledge, iu my opinion, the evils of Slavery are, they are nothing, absolutely nothing, in comparison . with the , far greater evil? whjch would inevitably --mm ...ilil.M .AMAaat ..J !m i! toward an equality with the whites; in;!

one or two they surpass litem. What would be the condition of the two races

in those States, upon the supposition of an immediate emancipation? Dos anj man suppose that they would become blended into one homogeneous maps? Does Bny man recommend amalanntion that retolting admixture, alike offensive to God and man? for thee whom He. bv their nhvsical properties. h?.s

4 I ä , Iron sir if von do . not olrtadv ltnow.it. - I that such are the feelings prejudice, if' i von please (and what man claiming to ! i ; VOn please ( I Miles-man, will overlook or d isifga rd j " seale1 an( unconqueraoie preunices oi wie petmiri in um oir States, that no human law could enforce h union between the two races. "What then would certninlv bannen?! A strtiggle for political ascendency: the blacks seeking to acquire, and the whiles to maintain, possession of the government. Upon the supposition of a generl immediate em n:i pation in those State. where the blacks outnumber the whites, they would have nothing to do but to in urn . ' " 1 V ! laration of independence, as Dorr and . r his deluded Democratic followers recent, ly did in Rhode Island; according to which an undefiled majority have the right, at iheir pleasure to subvert an existing government, and institute a new ono in its place; and then the whites would be brought in complete subjection to the black. A contest would inevitably ensue between the two race civil war, carnage, pillage, conflagration, devastation, and . the ultimate extermination or expulsion of the blacks. Noihjng is Tiore certain. And are not these-evils fr greater than the mild and continually improving stale of Slavery which exists in this country? I say continually improving; fr if this gratifying progress in the amelioration of the condition of the slaves has been checked in some of the Slates, the responsibility must attach lo the unfortunate nitatioH of the subject of abolition. In consequence rf it. increased rigor of the police, and further j restraints have been imposed; and I do believe that gradual emancipation (the only method of liberation that has ever Iioan trirtnnht en f r r trico lh r nnt-Kriil v tri , .. e. e. . v . , . anv of the Siave States has been postponed half a century. Without anv knowledge of the rela tion in which 1 stand to my s'aves. or tneir individual ' condition, you, Mr. Mendenhall, nnd your associates, who hive been active in gevting up this petition, call upon me forthwith to liberate the whole of them. Now let me tell you, that some half dozen of them, from age, decrepitude, or infirmity, are wholly unable to gain a livelihood for themselres, and nre u heavy charge upon me. Do you think that I should conform to the dictates of humanity by vidding myself of that charge, and sending them forth into the world, with the boon of liberty, to end a wretched existence by staivation? Another class is composed of helpless infants, with or without improvident mothers. Do you believe, ns a Christian, that I should perforin my duty toward them by abandoning -them to their fate? Then there is another class who would not accept their freedom, if 1 woultl cive it to them. 1 have for many years owned a slave that I wished would leave me. but he will not. What shall I do with that class? What my treatment of my slaves is you may learn from Charles, who accompanies me on this journey, and who has traveled with me over a greater part of the United States, and in both the Canadas. and has had a thousand opportunities, if he had chosen to embrace them, to leave me. Excuse me. Mr. Mendenhall, for saying, that my alaves are as well fed and clad, look as sleek and hearty, and are quite as civil nnd respectful in their demeanor, and as little disposed to wound the feelings of any one, as you are. , 'I shall, Mr. Mendenhall, fake your petition into respectful and deliberate consideration; but, before I come to a final decision. I should like to know what you and your associates are wi'.liug to do for the 6lavea in my possession, if I should think proper to liberate them. I own about fifty, who are probably worth about fifteen thousand dollars. To turn i them loose upon society, without "any means of support, would be an act of cruelty. Are you willing to raise and secure the payment of fifteen thousand dollars for their benefit, if I should be in duced to free them The, security of the payment of that sum would materially lessen the obstacle in the way of emancipation.'.' In another speech, speaking of those who were then called by him "ultra-Ab olitiönists." he says: "A single idea has taken possession of their minds, and onward they pursue overlooking all barriers, reckless and regardless.of all consequences. With thi class, the immediate abolishment of silvery in the District of Columbia, and in the Territory of Floridat the, prohibition of the removal of Slaves from State to State, and the refusal is admit any new State, comprising within its limits the institution of domatie Slavery, are but so many means conducing to the accom plishment of the ultimate but perilous end at which they avowedly and boldly oui art but so many short stages in the long andbloody road to the distant goal at which they would finally arrive. - It is because ithese ultra Abolitionist Aar ceased to employ the instruments of reason and persuasion, have made their cause 'political, and harf. appealed to

Beautiful Extratt. I saw tho temple teared by lhe hand of man, stanoing with its high pinnacles in the distant plain: the stream bea; upon it the God of nature hurled its thunder bolts against it and yet it stood as firm as adamant. Revelry was in the hall the gay, the young, lhe happy and beaulllul were there. I turned, and iho templo was no more its high walls scattered in.rnins. the moss and ivy grass grew wildly there, and at midnight hour the owl's cry ndded to the desolation of the scene the young and lhe gay who had revelled thero, had passed away. I saw the child rejoicing in his youth the idol of his father. 1 returned, and the child has become old. Trembling with weight of years he flood, the last of his generation a stiaiizer amid the desol. tion around him. I saw an oak stand in all its pride upon the mountains, the birds w?re caroling on ils boughs. I returned the oak was leaf less and sapless the winds were playing" ineir pastime inrougti its branches. 'Who is the destroyer?" said I lo my guardian angel. -It is Time," said he. "When the morning stars sang together with joy over the new-made world, he commenced his course, and when he shall have destroyed all lhat is beautiful on earth plucked the sun from its sphere veiled the moon in blood yea, when he shall roll the heavens and eanh away as a scroll, then shall an 'angel from the throne of God come forth, and with one foot upon th sea, lift up his head toward heaven and heaven's Eternal, and say, 'Time is, Time was, Time shall be no longer!" tmm Admirably Said.

Her invalid sprc.rance excited the interest of fall the f assetigers, who great euxiety 'est sea sickness should bring on a ciisis which evidently could not long be defsired. She crossed the straits ho.vever safety. and upon landing was placed in an etui chair, Sc salts were held to hernose. wh.il an occasional groan went to tha hearts of all her traveling companions. Ou the wharf, a custom house officer was oletving the disembarkation, anc' feemcd to feel a warm interest in the pretty French woman. He approached and offered his assistance, informing her that he bad some knowledge of medicine, and thougt the lady assured him she felt better and begged to bo carried immediately to a hotel, he protested that it could ret be dona without danger, and by Iiis rhilanihropic authority she was taken to 5n apartment in the custom house, and a mid-wife sent for.

It has been found by experience-! and intelligent herdsmen lhat they learn lo expect iheir fodder at the stated tine. and remain quiet and uncomplaining until that period comes around. This is trus of nil domestic animals, ani should be heeded by the farmer. Let him so-ar rango his labors at the barn that every operation may be performed at a staled time, and he will find matters to go on more comfortably and pleasantly than when all is left at haphazard, without system or regularity. Few things are mora unpleasant to the thrifiy farmer than the complaints of hungry stock. ' Moores Rural Acw lorker. A Pious' Wish.
