THOUOKTB IN A CEMETERY. A correspondent thus beautifully gives her reflections on visiting a cemetery, after a long absence : The afternoon was closing in, when, accompanied by friends, I passed within the gate of the cemetery at Georgetown. A little child stood near, and as she look¬ ed up to my ftce, I thought her a lovely porter to show the entrance to the halls of death. Nor was I a stranger on that spot. In my childhood, I had played be¬ neath those ancient oaks, gathering the nuts and aoorns that lay around; I had looked up to see the sun shining between the heavy boughs: I had been lulled to sleep by the sweet voices of nature that now, when my childhood and youth are dead, others may still hear. I gazed around, and, instantly, memory awoke from her long sleep, and events that seemed to have gone from me for years, came again. Even the light-heartedness of childhood.oh, blessed sensation !. rested for one moment upon me. Yet there was something that I missed, without and within. The leaves that once lay in masses on the earth, and through irhich I had loved to draw my feet to make a rustling sound, has been all cleared away, and I could not feel that assnrance of happiness that only a child can know. But I found, without and within, what was not always there. Before me were the green mound, the stately monument, the marble urn, the consecrated flower.within my heart were graves: of thought, of fancy, and of hope.graves from whose solemn depths what was there buried should never more arise. So sadly I felt when I first trod those paths in the city of the dead, that I could hardly look up to read the holy verses on the tablets that Scripture has furnished for mottoes in such a place. I could only look down to the dust, and silently murmur.death, death ! Yet, it is a good place in which to wander; and not only for the mouraer. Let the worldly and the ambitious tread these walks while they may, for along such must they be borne, that the living, standing beside their monuments, may consider the end of all human passions. Let the young pass lightly by, and see carved, in fair marble, the bud as often broken in its promise, as the faded rose, fallen to the earth. Let the rich man, the student, the Christian, and the de- spiser, come often to this holy ground: and, oh, erring, but sorrowful heart! come thou here, and look up to God! lie is merciful, and the grave will cover all. For, behold ! it is not only the poor form that the earth shields in her bosom, and over which the grass grows so tenderly; man may profanely wrest from the coflin its passive prisoner, but that cold, still heart is a grave whose secrets may not be ravished. Thought was busy, as, while I stood among the dead, I held converse with the living. I wondered that men a'd women so anxicu?ly pursued phantoms that a short season of time would utttrly dissolve. And I said "It is well; "There is a portion of happiness for each one to enjoy; an amount of misery that all mast suffer; and there are events that must and will occur/' until death comes to punish or reward. But softer and more gentle feelings came with the tears that fell when I dwelt mournfully, but affectionately, on one who, far away, has just laid, and not unwillingly, his honored head on the earth, llis beloved form, though now reposing on so lonely a bed.how glorious is the home of the soul, that ever growing in holiness and virtue here, has attained a mansion in the Father's house. These hands that were always outstretched to help the needy, are powerless now; but t^e spirit that animated them to deeds of love, is waiting to perform the will of the Beniflcent. That voice so kind, so harmonious, has, ere this, been united with the tones of the saints and of the patriarchs. That heart, ever loving, ever hoping, ever adoring, how have its sympathies been expanded in the short season that has since passed, since care and pain with him have ceased for ever; how will its very perfection be enlarged in the countless ages through which it is destined to pass. And we shall meet again! Death has placed between him and us a black aiid impenetrable veil, which (and we roust be patient) Immor¬ tality will one day draw aside. Washington, Sept. 1. M. H. E. ONE Of IHE BE8ULTS OF ABOLITION. ISM. The New Orleans Crescent says : 44 If the Abolitionists at the North will decoy the negro from his master, they should not complain if they feel the consequen¬ ces of letting loose his brutal passions. If they remove the unwholesome restraint imposed upon him by servitude, they must expect to suffer from his liberal in¬ terpretation of the liberty granted him. The first conviction with which the fugi- tiye becomes impressed, when he finds himself safely in New England or Cana¬ da, is that he is on as equality with the white man, and hence he argue6 that he can do as he may think fit. Should the northern agitators succeed in procuring the repeal of the fugitive slave law, ana thus add a fresh impulse to the increase of that valuable portion of their popula¬ tion, the free negroes, their struggles af¬ ter a reputation lor philanthropy will be rewarded by the greatest curse their lolly could have brought upon themselves and their more sensible fellow-citizens. The fallowing, which we cut from the New Haven (Conn.) Palladium, ia one among innumerable cases of a similar character that are constantly occurring at the North, and illustrates the danger¬ ous audacity of the negro disposition when not properly restrained,: "Within a day or two there has come to pur knowledge the account of a most dastardly attempt to abduct the young daughter of one of our citizens, by a colored man, well known to oar police as a desperate character, which was happily frustrated. The facts are these.- The little girt was ruralizing at Oraage, and while oat benying with a oo*sro «r two, came across the negro* whom ;«he had aseo4n the eity, tad reoegnia«4 aa at lea*! a respectable domaaiic. . 1 h» « wspoeed to be the waf ia which he gained itwwl- edge she was Day before yeater. day he hired & conveyance and prooeeaea to Orange sent a white hoy to her uncle's where he supposed she «u, telling her that her family had sent him to bring ber to the city. Meanwhile he was seen skulking out doors by the ladies in the house. The object of his schemes was not there, but alter the villain had de¬ parted suspicion was excited, and the ladies went alone by a cross road to the school house some two miles distant, where they found that he had beet before theoi, and the little girl, who wss there, had declined to go with him. Word was sent to her parents in the city, and they at once went and brought her home them¬ selves. It is not supposed that the rasod can be punished ibr any thing he did, and it was probably only a kind Provi¬ dence that prevented the daughter being outraged. The braggart is now at large in the city, and openly defies any authori¬ ty to make him suffer. Should not pa¬ rents be careful in sending unprotected children from their homes, and cbildrco as cautious when m the country." ALTERATION OF THE UftUlT LAW! The more the question of the repeal of the usury laws is discussed and examined, the mere ev'dent it becomes that those laws are based upon wrong principles. By the statutes, money is set aside and apart from aH other articles of traffic, and no recognition is made of the fact that, like every thing else, money rises and falls in value, and therefore in market price. The newspapers quote the price of money as regularly i ? they report the market rates for flour, coal, iron or any other article of traffic. To attempt to regulate the value of money by legisla¬ tive enactments is as futile as the old laws were which i emulated the prices of all ar¬ ticles of food and of all manorf labor. The price of the use of money should be left as free as the price for any article of commerce. The usury laws, by their practical operation, make a business transaction illegal and dishonorable, when the par¬ ties to the negotiation feel it to be correct as any act of trade. The laws being false in principle, cannot be sustained. They were originally intended for the benefit of money borrowers, but they now operate against the interest of that large c ass. The lender incurs a risk in taking the market value for his funds and he charges extra commissions or exchange. The bond of honor is the only obligation between the parties, and needy men art met with who do not hesitate to threaten an appeal to the courts in case they are called upon to keep the obligations they have voluntarily assumed. The usury laws are based upon the false idea that all money borrowers should pay the same rate of interest, irrespective of the risk incurred, the financial ability of the par¬ ties, or their business character; the saga¬ cious and thrifty merchant, the reckless speculator, and the wealthy corporation, are all stand upon an equality as bor¬ rowers. We find among our mercantile friends but one opinion on this subject: they see that the usury laws are eva^- d in numerous ways, and are fully convinced that by their repeal the borrower and the lender would transact their business without the intervention of third parties, who have to be paid their commissions. We hear that a few of the most noted and wealthy violators of the usury laws are decidedly opposed to any alteration of them. We are not surprised at this, for our great capitalists who buy nego¬ tiable paper at the going rates would find a new class of persons in the market to loan money if the usury laws were abol¬ ished. Free trade in money would ope¬ rate against the money lenders who have no scruples against taking twice or thrice the legal interest, but it would be a great benefit to all those having occasion to use more capital than they possess.. Boston Transcript. TH3 MY8TEBIES OF SPIRIlUALIfiM Mr. Miller, a son of the Rev. Thomas Miller, of Southold, L. I., relates to us that a few years ago, while at sea be¬ tween the Azores Islands and the island of St. Ilelena, he one day, after hav¬ ing been in conversation with some of the passengers on religious subjects, sud¬ denly fell into a trance and saw his wife stand before him, with a smiling counte¬ nance, gazing upon him. After looking upon him for tome time, she floated over the side of the vessel and disappeared, lie then returned to outer consciousness and found his companions chafing his body, thinking that he had fainted or had been in a fit. Mr. Miller had not pre¬ viously been a believer in monitions of this kind, but he told his companions of his vision, and remarked that his wife, whom he had left at h )me, was dead, and that be should never see her again in this world. The precise hour and moment of this occurrence was noted, and when he arrived at home he ascertained that, at that very moment, his wile was " struck with death," and that at that moment she had been writing some verses to him res¬ pecting her expected departure' Mr. Miller also relates the following: He says that while lying, one night, in his berth aboard of a vessel at anchor, he heard the sound of footsteps upon the deck. Knowing that the sounds could not proceed from any of the crew, who were either in their berths or absent on shore, he arose to ascertain who was there. On ascending to the deck, be dis¬ tinctly saw his brother, whom he knew to be absent at sea, standing before him with an oiled dress on, such as be had never seen him wear before, and with a gun lashed across his back. He at first thought that his brother had, in proper person, come aboard of the vessel, but on speaking to him he was surprised to re¬ ceive no answer. He turned his face to one side for some purpose, and when he looked for his brother again, he was not to be seen. Bight days from that tome the vessel with which his brother had sailed was east away, and all on board perished; -and when the body of the 'brother was subsequently found, it was clothed tn the oiled dress, with a gun lashed icrbSs fte back, exactly as the visionist had seen him- The father of my w*." Thomas Millers of Soutbold,L. 1.) told me that on the very night *ben his son was -cajit awnyrhiS voice wasdisgpctij heard reoognized under the windo at hotne, cXTto his mother. [9rntval Tdrgrmpk.
