(BY REQVEST.) 1 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. f IRMER’S COLUMN. 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. | It. wwbl extcnil this ixunmunieation j great a length t'w mo t<» give my svsj t tern of government. If desired, I may do . I Utis, some other time. I hope, though, that some bcginiK'r will see and. as I did fifteen , ybars ago. begin to think what i« his duty J as a master. D. GI’ERKY. I . (ruerrvton. Abt., May, IRtiO. 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. ——l_U— any one who has lived in a city to a very advanced age, a thoughtful walk through its streets is like a walk in the cemetery.
