longing and pleading wilb It- rself and her friends for

and all her nature now bought lo make itself felt in

Ibe Union nod pat down the rebellion, but as a mea-sure of justice, without which God would withholdbis blessing from Ihe naliou. Dy-aml-by, as she
passed that forlorn tenement, that black face wasabsent from the gaping winder., and so it went onfor days aad days thereafter. That black face wasgone. It bad done its work. It had raised up nloving heart to plead for the liberty of tho black

KEerve. There was a wonderful , a prodigious
silence oa tho part of all who luighi havo spoken
;
tho two or three voices thai were raised
drowned forthwith in the popular clamor, or si
cred bv the popular iti.lillcreueo. It was as if tin;
moral world stood etrtl to see ihe self-eonvictimi of
evil. Underground, swift and sure, burrowed ihe
old serpent ; now and then showing his bead in aouio
outrage on civilisation, but straightway drawing it
o.\peri in cove-ring his track, tiial none thought to
scotch him. It. was the wiliest game up to a certain
point, and then it was tho craziest. Every master-
stroke of policy was the beat thing that could havobeen doae for (5od. He oilcred a price (or the headof ejairiaon, and ms.le I'iarrison known ; bo insulted

Pntsr Nosier, and shed Ihe hypocritical tear, andretire to hia envo for a new rehearsal of his part.
Nobody wanted to bruise his head severely ; mostwould have been glad to see ii safely sheltered in n 5
hole—many begged him to draw it in. But tho
madman, absurdly imputing tht-i kind advice to fear,
nctuallv believed he bad done a wisa thing, andpersisted. Hi; raised bis cresl, and darted out bis
tongue, bo waved his scaly tail more fiercely than
over. Ins spit bis venom in Hoods, until, in self-defence,
the javelin of emaiieipalioa was driven into hia

enemies have been its friends; <iqv. Wise hurt it
more lhan John Brown, Preston llrooks dealt it
more fatal blows than Charles Sumner ; Floyd
knocked away a more powerful prop than Wcndull
Phillips ; and JeD'erson Davis has wounded it more
mortally [ban Harrison.
Thus, my friends, it over is. The arch-traitor is
always takea in his owa trap; the father of lies
