Ms. Haulv and Tom jogged onward in their n, each fora time absorbed in his own r ctions. Now, the reflections of two men sitting side by side are a curious thing-—seatsd on the some seat, hav' the same eyes, ears, hands, and organs of all sorts, and having pass for!‘ their eyes the nine objects: it is wonder- ful what a. variety we shall find in these same reflections!

As. tbr example, Mr. Iiale : he thought flrst of Toai‘s leu th, and breadth, and height, and what he won sell for, if he was kept int and in good case, till he got him into market. He thought of how he should make out his gang; he thought of the respective market value of certain supposititious men and women and chil- dren who were to com as it, and other kindred in ins of the business: then he thought of him- ser, and how humane he was, that, whereas other men chained their "niggers" hand and foot both. he‘ only ut fettsrs on the feet, and left '|.‘oIu. the use 0 his hands as long as he behavodwell: and he sighed to think how un- grateful. hutusn nature was, so that are was even scorn todouht whether Tom ap iated his mercies. He had been taken in so by?‘ nig- gurslhwholu he hurl Bvoured ; but still he was asszuished to consider how good-natured be yet remained!

As to Tom, he was thinking over some words. of an Ixntisshionafle old book, which kept run- niug through his head, again and again, as follows : “ Ve have here no continuing city, but we seek one to come: wherefore God himself is not ashamed to be called our God; hr He hath prepared for us a city." These words of on ancient volume, t up principally by “ igno- rant and unlearnc men," have, through all time, kept up somehow a strange sort 0 power over the minds of poor simple fellows like Tom. They stir up the soul from its depths, and rouse,- as with trumpet call, courage, ener , and enthusiasm, where fora was only t e blackness of despair.

Mr. Haley pulled out of his pocket sund newspapers, and began looking over theirs - vertiscmsnts with absorbed interest. He was not a 1-our-kably fluent reader, and wssin the habit of rsadi in a sort of recitativo, half aloud, by way of ca ingih his ears to verify the deductions of his eyes. In this tons he slowly recited the following paragraph :-

“ On plantations!” said Haley with a con- temptuous glance. “ Likely story!” and as if satisfied with his examination, he walked out and looked, and stood with‘ is hands in his pocket, his cigar in his mou , and his hat cooked on one side, read for action.

“ What think of 'e-ml ’ said a man who had been following }inley‘s examination, as if to make n his own mind from it.

“ We can't reason from our feelings to those of this class of persons,” said the other lady, sorting out some worsteds on her lap.

“ Indeed, ma'am, on can know nothing of them, if you say so,’ answered the first lady, warmly. “ I was born and brought a among them. Iknow the do feel, just as eenly-— even more so,—-per a we do.”

The lady said “ Indeed!” yawned,and looked out at the cabin window, and finsll re ted‘ for a finale, the remark with which o had begun—“ After all, I think they are better all‘ tha they would be to be free."

“ t's undoubtedly the intention of Providence that the African race should be servants-—kept in a low condition," said a grave-lookin gen- tleman.in black a clergman, seated Ey the cabin-door. “‘ ur be Canaan ; a servant of servants shall he be,’ the Scri ture says.”

The young man paused, looked as if he was go- ing to say more, when suddenly the boat stopped. and the company made the usual steamboat rush to see where they were landing. '

“Both them sr chaps parsonsl”ssid John to one of the men. as they were going out.

The man nodded.

As the boat stopped, a black woman came run- ning wildly up the plank, darted into the crowd, flew up where the slsvegang sat and threw her arms round that unfortunate piece of merchaudizs, before enumerated, “John, aged thirty." and with sohs and tears bemusned him as her husband.

But what needs tell the story, told too oh-—lhe every day lold—of heart-strings remand broken —the weak broken and turn for the profit and con- venience of the strong ! It needs to be told: every day is telling il——lellmg it. too, in the ear of One who is not deaf, though He he long'silenl..

The young man who had spoken for the cause of humanity and God before stood with folded arms, looking on this scene. He turned, and Haley was standing at his side. "My friend,” he said, speaking with thick utterance.“ how can you, how dare you, carry on a trade like this! Look at those poor crealules? Here I am, rejoic- ing in in heart that I am going home to my wife and chil ! and the same bell which is a signal to carry me onward towards them will part this poor man and his wife for‘ ever. Depend upon it, God will bring you into judgment for this.’

The trader turned away in silence.

GLEANIIGI F30! LATE PAPERS. Tn: ROYAL Crm.mtss.—The education of the

royal children. observes a contemporary, being a matter in which all must feel interested, a few

details ofths manner in which the day of the royal scholars is divided may perhaps be entertain- ing to our readers. A primary regard is paid to moral and religious duties. They rise early, break- fast at eight,’ and dine at two. Their various occupations are allotted out with almost military exactness. One hour finds them engaged in the study of the uncient—-another of the modern authors, their scqusintsnceship with languages being first founded on a thorough kncwlecl e of their grammatical construction, and sfterwur s fa- milinrissd and perfected by conversation. Next they are trained in'those military exercises which ive dignity and bearing. Another hour is agree- gly filled up with the fighter accomplishments of music and disco Again the happy little party assemble in the riding-school, where they may be seen deeply interested in the various evolutions of the manage. 'l'hencs—whi|e drawing and the further exercise at music and the lighter accom- plishments cell oflthe attention of their sisters- the young princes proceed to busily engage them- selves in s carpenter's shop, lined up expressly for them, at the wish ofihs royal consort, with a turning lsths sod other tools essential to 5 perfect knowledge oflhe craft. They thus‘ early become, not only theoretically, but practically acquainted with the useful srtsofllfe‘. A emsll laboratory is occasionally brought into requieitiomatlhe instance also of their royal father. and the minds of the children are thus led up from I contemplation of ihecuriosiuesofchemicsl science, and the wonders of nature to an inquiry into thl-ir causes. This done, the young Carpenters and stude_ms throw down their news and axes. unbucls their philosophy and shoulder their miniature permission guns- which they handle with the dexterity of practised" sport_smcn—fcr a shooting stroll through the royal gardens. The evening meal. the reparation for the morning’s lessons, and brief rsligious instruc- tion, close the diy.
