MERCY’S FREE.
i
What’s this, that’s m my soul arising?
Is it grace ? Is it grace ?
That keeps me still for mercy crying ?
Is it grace ? Is it grace ?
This work that’s in my soul begun,
It makes me strive all sin to shun;
It plants my soul beneath the sun,
Mercy's free, mercy’s free!
Great God of Love, I can but wonder,
Mercy’s free, mercy’s free;
Though I’ve no price to tender —
Mercy’s free, mercy's free.
Though mercy’s free, our God is just,
And if a soul should e’er be lost,
This will torment the sinner most,
Mere}’ ’s free, mercy’s free!
Swell, o swell the heavenly chorus —
Mercy’s free, mercy's free;
For Satan’s kingdom falls before us,
Mercy’s free, mercy’s free.
Sinners repent, enquire the road.
That leads to glory and to God,
Come wash in Christ’s atoning blood,
Mercy’s free, mercy’s free!
This truth through life shall ever cheer us,
Mercy’s free, mercy *8 free;
And through the vale of death shall bear us—
Mercy’s free, mercy’s free.
And when to Jordan’s banks we’re come,
And cross the raging billows foam,
We’ll sing, when safely landed home •.
•Mercy's free, mercy’s free!”
THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED.
The late Dr. Chalmers is said to have been
the author of the following beautiful lines, writ
ten on the occasion of the death of a young
son, whom lie greatly loved:
I am alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour Is near;
And the fagot’s crack and the clock’s dull tick,
Are the only sounds I hear,
And over my sou), in its solitude,
Sweet feelings of sadness glide,
For my heart and my eyes are full when I think
Os the little boy that died.
I went, one night to my father's house—
Went home to the dear ones all—
And softly I opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall,
My mother came out to meet her son—
She kissed me and then she sighed,
And her head fell on my neck, and she wept
For the little boy that died.
I shall miss him when the flowers come,
In the garden when he played ;
I shall miss him more by the'fireside,
When the flowers are all decayed.
] shall see his toys and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride,
And they will speak with a silent speech,
Os the little boy that died.
We shall go home to our Fathers house—
To our Father’s house in the skies,
Where the hope of our souls shall have no
blight,
Our love no broken ties.
We shall roam on the banks of the river of
peace,
And bathe in its blissftil tide;
And One of the joys of our life shall be
The little boy that died.

NEGROES.
Iho following article we clip from the
Southern Cultivator, and ask for it a care
ful perusal. Qiistions l:lce these are prac
tical to every Slat eholder, and should en
gage he serious attention of all- We in
dorse the sentunent fully, that .is you ele
vate the moral sensibility of the negro, and
quicken his perception of right and wrong,
you make him obedient and trustful—make
a better negro of him. The instilling oi
moral and religious prin.iples into the ne
gro never did and never will make him vi
cious, dishonest and disobedient.
• MANAGEMENT OF NEGROES—DU
TIES OF MASTERS, Ac.
Editors Sovtiicrs Cultivator.—Fif
teen years ago I commented farming with
a few hands; for eleven years 1 attended in
person to my interest, and made money.
Since then my other engagements kept me
awayagjpat part of the time, and 1 was
forced; much to my injury, to employ an
overseer.* ’ •*
1 his year I have taken up the task again,
and have renewed my subscription to the
Cnliivatur. In your April nninlier, page
130,1 find all article on the management of
NegnM-a whutn while it has some good
features, has others very objectionable, to
me at least. I allude to the general tone
of the piece and particularly to a part of
tin* paragraph in which we are told how to
make a negro cmifr«fr</and profitable “bo
up in the morning in time breakfast
and lie al their places in tho field as soon
as it is light enough > see to w«iekTand re
main tfiligentl} at work til) dark.”
Now. 1 ask. when does the negro enjoy
the Isnmtiful supply of food which the pro
videnl master tells u*. i n another plaev.fo.
has i nfvde for jhhu ? \
o nVYrv time t*> ?
—n<» mvjgorating repose in the shade.—l
„ Work, work, while the vertk le rnvs of the I
sim tall on hi< head, “diligently at work ■
tifFdark,” and then, like a tiredox.be is
road} to li> down an) where when- the ar
gusiJhyed overseer will allow him. aud nfi
wmrae. wRI trouble no one through'the
’- • ■ > , • .
Utts view is domg no iujusn.e to the
writer; lor, it lie gives his negroes more
time ami rest, why 3oea hv use those im
pivssive words “remain diligently at work i
till dark.” He offers hi mself as teacher to :
the planters of the South; and, to make i
his more apparent, makes a I
bold fling at all who Ixdieve that the Bible
was written before Mrs. Stow e’s book or •
abolition agitators commenced their fanati
cal crusade against our property —at all
who believe that the negro is flesh and
blood, like ourselves, and may be over
worked like ourselves—at all who believe
that it is sinful in the eyes of a just God,
to work even an ox bevoad his power* of!
induraneo—at all who believe that, if the
negro dis's have a black skin, he has a soul ’
winch will live eternally in bliss ar woe,
and that we their owners, arc responsible
to G»*.i tor the influence wo exert over 1
them—at all w ho believe that after we have
provided abundant for all their physical
wants, we have yet another greater wnit to
do, to provide fiw the wants of their im
mortality, and instead of degrading them '
below even the brutes of the farm it is our
duty to elevate their spirits and cause them
to regard themselves as members of the
great iamily of mankind, included in the '
of Calvary and entitled to like '
bfowntqr* from the Father with ourselves— 1
“ all wK> believe that the moral sensibiii
.es of the Mgvo may be quteked and so '
improved as to make him obey his master, I
because he loves him and because it is
wrong to disobey—and at all who believe t
that the negro, so improved and elevated,
is more contented and profitable than the 1
other who is persuaded by the overseer’s a
lash to do all that is done-—that the negro,
so improved and elevated, will bring more 1
money when offered for sale; will make as
many bales of cotton with less trouble to r
the owner; will steal fewer chickens and
drink less whiskey without watching than J
the one whose spirit is crushed and w’hose
self-respect is trampled upon, will, with all s
the watching that owner and overseer to- f
gether can give him.
It is a very great mistake, Messrs. Edi- a
tors, to assume that the negro is incapable of 4
moral elevation —that he will lie and steal f
simply because he is a negro, and it is also r
a very great mistake to assume that the
fear of the lash is the only controlling in- J
flueuce which can be exerted in the manage
ment of negroes. I believe (and I thank '
God for it) the portion of our country in >
which that view prevails is growing less t
and less; yet w r c find negroes far more val
uable, in every sense, than ever before. I <
thank God that views like those under
discussion are rarely to be met with, and ’
are regarded with honest deprecation by a i
vast majority of slave owners; yet, although I
negroes cost hundreds more than in the
olden time, when men fed little and whip- <
ped more, you find the yield of cotton in
creasing by the million bales and planters
walk your streets w’ith the air of conscious i
wealth —even on the worn-out lands of the i
old States, planters are making fortunes <
w ith high-priced negroes as rapidly as those ,
of Arkansas, and, in the end wit! be far the
richer; for their negroes, treated more le
niently, will live longer and perform more
efficient service, w ith less outlay in over
seer’s wages and driver’s hire, with less
anxiety and more peace of conscience to ;
the owner.
Is a man an abolitionist because he has a i
kind heart and labors to cultivate those
principles of his nature which will make
his intercourse with those around and sub
ject to him agreeable and pleasant? Then
lam one; although 1 believe negroe slave
ry io he a moral, social and political bless
ing, and that God, in his wisdom designed
the negro for bondage and servitude, and he
will remain in this condition as long as it
is the good pleasure of God.
But I am told 1 am aiding abolition ran
ters by advocating that sort of lenity which
will relieve me of the constant use of the
lash; in fact, and as a terrorum to keep my
negroes in their proper sphere, it may be i
so, but 1 am certainly not willing to part
with any of mine, and I can show several
who know nothing experimentally of pains
of corporeal punishment—men and women,
common field hands, who would bring far
more than the market value of their class
if offered for sale to my neighbors.
1 have been increasing my force, by pur
chase, for years from all sorts of masters,
from Virginia to Alabama, and have found
very little trouble in bringing them all un
der my system, by simply assuring them
that 1 intend their good, and by convincing
their judgmenrs that a negro may have a
reputation in a community for honesty and
fidelity. By thus exciting his pride I ele
vate the man, .and the result is this- if one
of mine has ever stolen a dime’s worth
from me or any body else, I have never
heard of it—l have lived here all my life,
as a planter, and no man has ever accused
one of them of any crime; nor has any
man ever made a living by selling them '
whisky or any other article which they I
would be ashamed for me to see them buy. :
I get no better negroes, naturally, than oth- :
er people, yet these are facts which my
neighbors will attest.
, I can lie down at night in perfect safety,
knowing that 1 have a guard around me,
bound by indisoluble affection, who, if oc-i
casion presented, would protect, not only
my person, but my property. I can let any I
of them go to Columbus, forty miles from >
home, to buy such things as they want, and j
feel that it will be all right with them, for
they are not “unprincipled creatures,” I
whose only shrewdness is shown in the per- j
pet ration of crime. The negro has self-re- !
spect, w hieh may be cultivated until it will i
be the most effectual preventive of crime
and guarantee of fidelity—his soul may be
illuminated by the Sun of Righteousness
and, through Jesus Christ, become a new
, creature and a shining light to the rest of
' us. Give him the preached word—teach
him his duty as a man and encourage him,
by your example, to do it, and you will
soon find h.m walking in the way of truth
and holiness—elevate his moral seiisibili
ties, quicken his perct'ption of right and
wrong and you will soon find him truthful
and obedient—a man of principle and pie- !
ty.
These are not fanciful creations of the
"Tiraift—an impossible theory. Far from it. j
1 have endeavored to reduce it to practice. :
and around me are the effects of my efforts.
. The days of fogy ism in the management of
negrws have gone, the time for brute force
is past, and men must admit that there is !
another way to make negroes contented and ,
• profitable—i wav which, while it improves ,
the moral status of the negro, will j
' then the hold of the master upui him.—j
John Brownism will never be feared bv a
1 master who feels that he is eonsttfartfcd the !
■ guardian of the moral and spirifiiat wantft
of hi* negroes, who treats them as mem
hers of his family, who never requirqf6j|»j
’ rvashnabli- things of them, and 'vh<>
vales their reasonable wants.

A PASTOR.
The true emblems of a good minister are,
' a shepherd at the head of his flock, and a
[ parent at tin* hca<l of his family. The
shepherd has an equal regard for alt the
' ffoi-k. for the lambs as for the sheep; he
seeks the v. in.hriu_': he applies remedies
to the diseased; ho gathers the lambs in
j his arms; he coikx'ts them into the fold at
! night, and counts them as thev enter, w
that mm may Im> left without; and he j
leads them forth in tin* morning into green
pastures and beside the still waters. His
I care and watchfulness descends to all the
ft<x*k. And so the father of a family exer
cises special care over every member of it.
and sec As. with equal care and dilligence,
the best gisxi of them all. He exercises a
i general care over all. and a sjsvial care of
each. So that a good minister should care
for his people as a sbejihen.l cares fivr his
sheep—as a father .-ares for his family—as
■’God promises to <-are for Israel when be
savs, “I will feed my fl«>ck ; 1 will cause
t them to lie down. I will seek that w hich *
was lost, and bring again that which was 1
driven away, and will bind up that which '
wax broken, and will strengthen that which 1
was sick. And it the Grest Shepherd eon- ’
descends to such duties, <*u w hat grounds
can uialer-siiKplk-rds excuse themselves
from it.— Dr. Murray.
Be just and fear not.
SACRED MOUNTAINS.
Mount Ararat, the mount upon which
the Ark of Noah rested.
Mount Moriah, the mount upon which
Abraham offered, up his son Isaac—where
afterward Solomon built the temple.
Mount Sinai, the mount upon which the
laws were given to Moses.
Mount Hor, the mount upon which Aa
ron died.
Mount Pisgah, the mount upon which
Moses died.
Mount Horeb, the mount where Moses
saw the burning hush, and where Eli;ah
fled from the face of Jezebel.
Mount Carmel, where fire came down
and consumed the sacrifice of Elijah, and
where he slew the prophets of Baal, and
from the summit of which he prayed for
rain and was answered.
Mount Lebanon, the mount noted for its
great and beautiful cedars.
Mount Zion—the literal Mount Zion
was one of the hills on which Jerusalem
was built, and stood near Mount Moriah,
where Abraham offered up his son Isaac.
Mount Tabor, the mount upon which
Christ was transfigured.
Mount Olivet, the mount where our Sa
viour prayed, being in an agony, and sav
ing: “If it lie possible, let this cup pass!
from me,” &c.
Mount Calvary, the mount upon w hich
our Saviour was crucified.
