Miscellaneous FOR THE FREE PRESS. TO Believe it not that I am chang, All things may fade that will; And friends from friends may be estrang'd, But I must love thee still. Never can be the stroke forgot, Which did my bosom thrill; When you declar'd you lov'tl mc not, For I must love thee still. On unchecked the swoln flood must flow, Though once a gentle rill; Love through years still like love must glow, And I must love thee still. Tho' parents, friends, and kindred dear, All sink in death's cold chill; Yet one strong tie shall bind mc here, For I must love thee still. The dream of youth I may forget, The friends to whom I fill; There's one I shall remember yet, For I must love thee still. In vain may other beauties shine, And show their charms with skill. Thy heart is all 1 would were mine, Fori do love thee still. With this thro' life's dark shaded day, I'd walk unfearing ill; Thy smiles should drive the clouds away, And I would love thee still. If diff'rent paths must guide our fect, Down life's uneven hill; Oft may it be our lot to meet, For I shall love thec still. B. Selected for the Free Vict From thec, my Mary, I must go, And from my native shore; The cruel fates between us throw, A boundless ocean's roar: But boundless oceans roaring wide, Between my love and me; They never, never can divide My heart and soul from thee. Farewell, farewell, my Mary dear, The maid that I adore! A boding voice is in mine car, We part to meet no more! Bur the last throb that leaves my heart, While death stands victor by; That throb, my Mary, is thy part, And thine that latest sigh! An army of 20,000 of our most discreet young men and maidens, are from week to week giving their personal energies to form the rising race to a taste for read ing and to habits of virtue. By the Society's publications and tra velling agents, of which there were thirty last year, there is rea son to hope, an impulse to this holy work is given and sustained, which will spread its benefits to the remotest hamlet on our continent. SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The American Sunday School Union. Is a coalition of the va rious smaller unions which exist in different parts of the country.' It comprises schools from all de nominations which approve this species of charity, and enrolls be tween two and three thousand schools, with 20,000 teachers, and 135,000 scholars. By carrying forward extensive printing opera tions, and producing many edi tions from stereotype plates, it furnishes these schools with all the articles they require at about half the booksellers' prices; thus promoting in the most efficient manner, these interesting institu tions. The Society is destitute of a capital, though its monthly ex pences are about 83,000, and has grown to this magnitude, to the rrnnt pmlinrrnssmont nf tlin hnnrrl of Managers, which is located in Philadelphia. When Sunday Schools were ori ginated, premiums were needed, because the system was one of kindness and not of chastisement. Sunday Schools teach multitudes to read, to whom, otherwise, the treasures of knowledge are as a fountain sealed. The very stabi lity of our free institutions de pends on the virtue of our popu lation; and to maintain this, Sun day Schools are the only efficient general means now in operation. Slavery. The select committee of the House of Delegates of Vir ginia, to whom was referred the report and resolutions adopted by the Legislature of the state of Alabama,disapproving resolutions adopted by the Legislatures of se veral non-slaveholding States, on the subject of colonizing the free people of color, and emancipating the slaves within the U. States presented a report, on the 26th ult. from which we extract as follows: "The States in which Slavery is tolerated, have ample means of security against the mischiefs ap prehended from its existence. They now, and will have, in all time to come, (if left to them selves,) the means and the dispo sition to apply them; cither indi vidually, or in concert with each other, to meliorate their own con dition, as well as that of the Slave. But, whether by abolition, by ge neral or partial emancipation, by colonization, with or without in demnity to the owners, they only have a right to decide questions, with which the Federal govern ment have no power to interfere, and in which no State has a right to meddle with another, and when ever a disposition shall be indica ted to do so, either by the Federal Government, or by the States which have no slaves, it will ex cite distrust and suspicion, and if necessary, prompt and united re sistance. "The committee recommend the adoption of the following reso lutions: "Resolved by ihe General As sembly of Virginia, That the in terference of the non-slaveholding States in the question of Negro slavery, is highly impolitic, and destructive of that spirit of amity wnicn snouiu subsist, and be che rished by all the States of the U nion, tending directly, to weaken the confidence, disturb the repose, and endanger the peace of the slave-holding States. "Resolved, That so far as such proceedings are dictated by a spi rit oi benevolence and plulanthro phy, towards the slave-holding States, they are mistaken and mis applied; and if they are the off spring of an interested policy, they are reprobated as insidious and detestable." Alabama. Among the Acts passed before the Legislature ad journed, (says the Courtland Her ald,; we observe one of vital im portance, and with which we are highly pleased, viz: The prohibi tion of the importation of slaves into this State for sale or hire. This act provides that any person bringing negroes into this State after the first day of August next, for sale or hire, shall be liable to fine of $1000, for each negro so linen thread, but are woven ton ought into the State; and it fur- garment. This specimen of C a hrnnrrlit thermorc subjects the offender to prosecution by indictment, anu to pay S500 for" each offence, and imprisonment. This act also provides, that persons bringing negroes into this State for their own use, shall not sell or hire them within two years after their arrival. Pennsylvan ia 1 Vitncsscs.

Judge Franks, one of the Cir cuit Judges in Pennsylvania, has been impeached before the Legis lature of that state for mal-conduct in office. The charges alleged, are "His private life is a contin ued scene of immorality, intempe rance, lewdness, buffoonery, and excess, which disqualify him for, and interfere with a faithful dis charge of his duties, and to the great injury of the morals of the people of the district over which he presides.

On the messenger's return to heaven, it appeared, from his report, that only a single couple in the whole world were perfectly satisfied with each other. This" amiable and peaceable pair had never quarrel led; if the woman was out of tem per, and suffered her tongue to use violent expressions, the hus band entirely disregarded what she said; and, if he committed any improper and indelicate ac tions, his dear wife never once no ticed them. The cause of this singular instance of connubial harmony puzzled all the celestials, who learned with astonishment that the wife was blind, and the husband deaf. Female Ingenuity. We were, (says the Salisbury Carolinian,) a few days since, shown a "gar ment without a seam" it was a cotton shirt, woven complete in all its parts, with a well-formed dou ble collar, regular gathering about the neck and wristbands, button holes woven in the bosom and wristbands, with an appearance of gussets under the arms, straps on the shoulders, &c; and, in fine, as complete, in all its parts, as the best made shirts icilh not a sin gle scam in it! The only parts about it that are not woven, are the buttons, which arc made ofl D iss im t tint i mi. WI i n n n e ISO US are in love, they put the best side outwards. A man who is desi rous of pleasing, takes a world of care to conceal his defects. A woman knows still better how to dissemble. Two persons oitcn study for six months together how to bubble one another, and at last thev marrv nnd nunish one v i . another the remainder of their lives for their dissimulation. Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has few pleasures. Lacon.
