the support of the good effects of Dr. Hampton'sVegetable tincture, as it h*s cured me in five weeks,of a chronic Inflammatory Rheumatism, contractedunder tropical ctimaUt, and of seven years'ptrto^icfI <

EVENING STAR.THOUOKTB IN A CEMETERY.
A correspondent thus beautifully givesher reflections on visiting a cemetery,after a long absence :
The afternoon was closing in, when,accompanied by friends, I passed withinthe gate of the cemetery at Georgetown.A little child stood near, and as she look¬ed up to my ftce, I thought her a lovelyporter to show the entrance to the hallsof death. Nor was I a stranger on thatspot. In my childhood, I had played be¬neath those ancient oaks, gathering thenuts and aoorns that lay around; I hadlooked up to see the sun shining betweenthe heavy boughs: I had been lulled tosleep by the sweet voices of nature thatnow, when my childhood and youth aredead, others may still hear. I gazedaround, and, instantly, memory awokefrom her long sleep, and events thatseemed to have gone from me for years,came again. Even the light-heartednessof childhood.oh, blessed sensation !.rested for one moment upon me.Yet there was something that I missed,
without and within. The leaves thatonce lay in masses on the earth, andthrough irhich I had loved to draw myfeet to make a rustling sound, has beenall cleared away, and I could not feelthat assnrance of happiness that only achild can know. But I found, withoutand within, what was not always there.Before me were the green mound, thestately monument, the marble urn, theconsecrated flower.within my heart weregraves: of thought, of fancy, and ofhope.graves from whose solemn depthswhat was there buried should nevermore arise. So sadly I felt when I firsttrod those paths in the city of the dead,that I could hardly look up to read theholy verses on the tablets that Scripturehas furnished for mottoes in such a place.I could only look down to the dust, andsilently murmur.death, death !
Yet, it is a good place in which towander; and not only for the mouraer.Let the worldly and the ambitious treadthese walks while they may, for alongsuch must they be borne, that the living,standing beside their monuments, mayconsider the end of all human passions.Let the young pass lightly by, and seecarved, in fair marble, the bud as oftenbroken 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! lieis merciful, and the grave will cover all.For, behold ! it is not only the poor formthat the earth shields in her bosom, andover which the grass grows so tenderly;man may profanely wrest from the coflinits passive prisoner, but that cold, stillheart is a grave whose secrets may notbe ravished.Thought was busy, as, while I stood
among the dead, I held converse withthe living. I wondered that men a'dwomen so anxicu?ly pursued phantomsthat a short season of time would utttrlydissolve. And I said "It is well; "Thereis a portion of happiness for each one toenjoy; an amount of misery that allmast suffer; and there are events thatmust and will occur/' until death comesto punish or reward.But softer and more gentle feelings
came with the tears that fell when Idwelt mournfully, but affectionately, onone who, far away, has just laid, and notunwillingly, his honored head on theearth, llis beloved form, though nowreposing on so lonely a bed.how gloriousis the home of the soul, that ever growingin holiness and virtue here, has attaineda mansion in the Father's house. Thesehands that were always outstretched tohelp the needy, are powerless now; butt^e spirit that animated them to deeds oflove, is waiting to perform the will ofthe Beniflcent. That voice so kind, soharmonious, has, ere this, been unitedwith the tones of the saints and of thepatriarchs. That heart, ever loving,ever hoping, ever adoring, how have itssympathies been expanded in the shortseason that has since passed, since careand pain with him have ceased for ever;how will its very perfection be enlargedin the countless ages through which it isdestined to pass. And we shall meetagain! Death has placed between himand 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 Ifthe Abolitionists at the North will decoythe negro from his master, they shouldnot complain if they feel the consequen¬ces of letting loose his brutal passions.If they remove the unwholesome restraintimposed upon him by servitude, theymust 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 findshimself safely in New England or Cana¬da, is that he is on as equality with thewhite man, and hence he argue6 that hecan do as he may think fit. Should thenorthern agitators succeed in procuringthe repeal of the fugitive slave law, anathus add a fresh impulse to the increaseof that valuable portion of their popula¬tion, the free negroes, their struggles af¬ter a reputation lor philanthropy will berewarded by the greatest curse their lollycould have brought upon themselves andtheir more sensible fellow-citizens.The fallowing, which we cut from the
New Haven (Conn.) Palladium, ia oneamong innumerable cases of a similarcharacter that are constantly occurringat the North, and illustrates the danger¬ous audacity of the negro dispositionwhen not properly restrained,:"Within a day or two there has come
to pur knowledge the account of a mostdastardly attempt to abduct the youngdaughter of one of our citizens, by acolored man, wellknown to oar police asa desperate character, which was happilyfrustrated. The facts are these.- Thelittle girt was ruralizing at Oraage, andwhile oat benying with a oo*sro «r two,came across the negro* whom ;«he hadaseo4n the eity,tadreoegnia«4 aa at lea*!a respectabledomaaiic. . 1h»«wspoeedto 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'swhere he supposed she «u, telling herthat her family had sent him to bring berto the city. Meanwhile he was seenskulking out doors by the ladies in thehouse. The object of his schemes wasnot there, but alter the villain had de¬parted suspicion was excited, and theladies went alone by a cross road to theschool house some two miles distant,where they found that he had beet beforetheoi, and the little girl, who wss there,had declined to go with him. Word wassent to her parents in the city, and theyat once went and brought her home them¬selves. It is not supposed that the rasodcan be punished ibr any thing he did,and it was probably only a kind Provi¬dence that prevented the daughter beingoutraged. The braggart is now at largein the city, and openly defies any authori¬ty to make him suffer. Should not pa¬rents be careful in sending unprotectedchildren from their homes, and cbildrcoas cautious when m the country."ALTERATION OF THE UftUlT LAW!The more the question of the repeal ofthe usury laws is discussed and examined,the mere ev'dent it becomes that thoselaws are based upon wrong principles.By the statutes, money is set aside and
apart from aH other articles of traffic, andno recognition is made of the fact that,like every thing else, money rises andfalls in value, and therefore in marketprice. The newspapers quote the priceof money as regularly i ? they report themarket rates for flour, coal, iron or anyother article of traffic. To attempt toregulate the value of money by legisla¬tive enactments is as futile as the old lawswere which i emulated the prices of all ar¬ticles of food and of all manorf labor.The price of the use of money should beleft as free as the price for any article ofcommerce.The usury laws, by their practicaloperation, make a business transaction
illegal and dishonorable, when the par¬ties to the negotiation feel it to be correctas any act of trade. The laws beingfalse in principle, cannot be sustained.They were originally intended for thebenefit of money borrowers, but theynow operate against the interest of thatlarge c ass. The lender incurs a risk intaking the market value for his funds andhe charges extra commissions or exchange.The bond of honor is the only obligationbetween the parties, and needy men artmet with who do not hesitate to threatenan appeal to the courts in case they arecalled upon to keep the obligations theyhave voluntarily assumed. The usurylaws are based upon the false idea thatall money borrowers should pay the samerate of interest, irrespective of the riskincurred, the financial ability of the par¬ties, or their business character; the saga¬cious and thrifty merchant, the recklessspeculator, 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: theysee that the usury laws are eva^- d innumerous ways, and are fully convincedthat by their repeal the borrower andthe lender would transact their businesswithout the intervention of third parties,who have to be paid their commissions.We hear that a few of the most notedand wealthy violators of the usury lawsare decidedly opposed to any alterationof them. We are not surprised at this,for our great capitalists who buy nego¬tiable paper at the going rates would finda new class of persons in the market toloan money if the usury laws were abol¬ished. Free trade in money would ope¬rate against the money lenders who haveno scruples against taking twice or thricethe legal interest, but it would be a greatbenefit to all those having occasion touse more capital than they possess..Boston Transcript.
TH3 MY8TEBIES OF SPIRIlUALIfiMMr. Miller, a son of the Rev. Thomas
Miller, of Southold, L. I., relates to usthat a few years ago, while at sea be¬tween the Azores Islands and the islandof St. Ilelena, he one day, after hav¬ing been in conversation with some ofthe passengers on religious subjects, sud¬denly fell into a trance and saw his wifestand before him, with a smiling counte¬nance, gazing upon him. After lookingupon him for tome time, she floated overthe side of the vessel and disappeared,lie then returned to outer consciousnessand found his companions chafing hisbody, thinking that he had fainted or hadbeen in a fit. Mr. Miller had not pre¬viously been a believer in monitions ofthis kind, but he told his companions ofhis vision, and remarked that his wife,whom he had left at h )me, was dead, andthat be should never see her again in thisworld. The precise hour and moment ofthis occurrence was noted, and when hearrived at home he ascertained that, atthat very moment, his wile was " struckwith death," and that at that moment shehad been writing some verses to him res¬pecting her expected departure'
Mr. Miller also relates the following:He says that while lying, one night, inhis berth aboard of a vessel at anchor, heheard the sound of footsteps upon thedeck. Knowing that the sounds couldnot proceed from any of the crew, whowere either in their berths or absent on
shore, he arose to ascertain who wasthere. On ascending to the deck, be dis¬tinctly saw his brother, whom he knewto be absent at sea, standing before himwith an oiled dress on, such as be hadnever seen him wear before, and with a
gun lashed across his back. He at firstthought that his brother had, in properperson, come aboard of the vessel, but onspeaking to him he was surprised to re¬
ceive no answer. He turned his face toone side for some purpose, and when helooked for his brother again, he was notto be seen. Bight days from that tomethe vessel with which his brother hadsailed was east away, and all on boardperished; -and when the body of the'brother was subsequently found, it wasclothed tn the oiled dress, with a gunlashed icrbSs fte back, exactly as thevisionist had seen him-The father of my w*."
Thomas Millers of Soutbold,L. 1.) toldme that on the very night *ben his son
was -cajit awnyrhiS voice wasdisgpctijheard reoognized under the windoat hotne, cXTto his mother.
