"Why, soldiers, why, : ' Should we bo inehinehcly boys, ' '. Whoso business 'tis to die," Ac. llivoico, naturally sweet, sounded porfect- ' ly melodious, as,, unconsciously, ho forgot his duties as a sentinel, and gave to tho sons the I lull compass of his manly tones. At a little distance1, conceated: from tho sentinel by the U''Hkbfiry, was an officer, upon whoso. arm leanod a beautiful girl absentees from the ball-room. .' - 1 As tho after fate of this bravo officer forms a memorable pago in our country's history, my readers may perhaps like a description of his person, He .was. rather under tho middle height of (i handsome, well-made figure, and erect military caniugo. .: II is faco was oval, and tho features decidedly handsome. The main expression of his countenance displayed franknessaud sincerity.: . His age seemed about thirty. His scarlet coat was faced with bull', and buff breeches, .with white silk stockings, adorned the lower part of his person. Such was tho ball room costumsof.au olIlcorofth.it period. ' ' :., , " You soem melancholy to-night, Major Andre," said his fair companion. "On such a night as this you should be otherwise." "And in such company, you should have added, Miss Bookman 1'aidon nio for this apparent quietness. Tho thought that 'this may be tho last night that I shall over spend m iNow ion;, is enough to ii.alvoouo leel nul ancholy, is it not, fair lady ?" "Leave ew I ork, ilitior Andre?" said tho young lady, with some surprise. Aro you going south with Lord Cornwallis?" "A soldier, Miss Beckman, must inform no one of his destination, und particularly one like yourself, with.a touch of tlio rebel tbeline towards your countrymen. This much I wjll answer I am going south." " Some new plan of Sir Henry's, I'll bo bound," said tho laughing girl. " I do love Washington, and that is the truth. My father, it is certnhv'Yeuiains linn in his allegiance ti King George; but 1, 1 go with our republican, Ueorge the BoldifU'.fcQm Virginia." '. ' I canntit say that I thiilk less of yott for such feeling, Miss Bookman," said Andre; it is natural we should love our country. Washington is a bravo soldier, and from till I hear, a gcod man. Bo that as it may, however, he has no light to take up arms against his lawful king, and when ho is taken, as ho must be, ho will end his days on a gibbet." . . . . " I'll wager you this rose," said tho incrry-heartod girl, in a laughing tone, taking one from her hair, "against the first .new novel you receive by tho London packet, that you will suli'er such punishment lirst and that youikoowis impossible, Major; for my. countrymen treat tho king's officers, with the high est respect when prisoners. Spies only are hung, and neither W aslmurton nor yoursell are likely to undertake that profession." It seemed as ii a spasm passed through tho frame of tho officer, tor ho trembled for an instant like a leaf, an incident which was long after remembered by his fair companion when mentioning his nieiulcholy fato. ' iou are ill, Major. Let us go in." , 'Xo, no," said he, faintly ; "it was but n momentary nervous direction, and has now-passed." : ' . ' " lliero aro at times, Jliss Ucckman, presentiments of evil in tho human mind, that conic without real cause, nnd trouble us we know not why. 1 cannot say but that my physical health is as good as ever it was. 'Tlio niht is beautiful, und the scene within Sir Henry's mansion enchanting; but still there is a heaviness about my spirits that I cannot shako oil. I sec a danger before me, yet know not where 1.0 guard againat, or how to meet.-Though shadowy, it appears palpable and distinct. - Ah ! that song." At this moment the silver tones of the sentinel's voice rang sweetly upon the car, with the wcrds of the song wo havo mentioned. Whilst thus engaged, tho Major and his fair coinpanion.s.nddonly appeared licforo him. , In an instant his voice was hushed, and his musket brought suddenly to "present anus," as he stood motionless in truo uiilitaay position before his superior. "Nay, nay, AYhitely, cease not your song," said tho Major; "on such a jiight ns this I wonder not that you should feel like singing. I will stand responsible to tho sergeant lor such a breach of dicipline." ' -" I should like much better to hear it in full, soldier," said the lady, "I only know it, lady," said tho sentinel, "from hearing Major Audro sing it when 1'vo been on duty at his quarters, l'eihaps he, madam, will consent, to favor you with it.'! t " Well, Miss Beckman, I will not deny yqu, but I cannot crpial Whttely in tha song, M you will soori find out." lie than commenced, and sang .with groat pathos and beauty. Tho calm spicudor of the night, his pensive air, and tho feeling with which ho antored into the words of the song, gave it great effect As he Concluded, ho was surprised to hear the exclamations. "Bravo Andrei 7. ,,':Bea,utiful 1" Excellent!" from numerous vwcitgi .In fact ha was surrounded by a goodly portion of tho ball-room company who had availed thomsclvcs "of apauso iujhe dancd to visit tho garden.,, ' . ,; ' "Well done, Audro 1" said a stout and portly gentleman irt military costumo, wit.li a large star, on the breast of hi coat" you shall hereafter bur the titio of ong master in vyCll as adjutant general to His Majesty's troops In .'Ajj' But, come, man your politeness aud gaiety seem, to bo on a furlough tonight. .

Ho shook tho extended hand of Sir Ilenry with emotion, and, as he stepped into the street received for the last time, the military salutiw lion of a British schtmet. He touched his hat nnd passed oh.

A correspondent of tlio Zion's' Advocate has very sensible views dn this point ! " "There 1st, on tho part of many cdngroja-fions, nn unpardonable neglect in regard to this thingi It is sceir and lelt in the porch anil the pew; in the. streets and at home,, Wo have knowp strangers lo go to a place of wor-s!iipnn,d .wait a long time' bjibiO'liny ' ono would notice lliem to offer a sjat ; and then it would be done iu such a maimer as to make them feel that they were intruders. Service ended, they hurry away without a kind word or look from nny ono,' most unfavorably impressed in regard to thoso worshipping there, and resolving never to occasion them trouble again. We have known other places, where the neglect was not at this point, but, after wr- sons had taken their seats in the 'house and had become a part, of tho congregation.. Thoy jrc strangers, and should he sdtiglit out, call ed upon, and made to feel that they are among true and sympathizing friends. Instead of this, weeks and months pass away and no one call upon them ; they aro not acquainted, but strangers still, feel that thoy are without menus. ami without sympathy. This is not right. Not only Christianity, but a sound policy demands something different. ' J-.vory religious society that would prosper, must show proper attention to strangers. It should bo seen that they aro promptly anil courteously provided with seats, nnd made to feel that they havo a cordial welcome thero. Kind looks should greet them ns they come, and lellow them as they go. Should they couio again, let them meet with the samo reception. And should they become constant worshippers there, let thein ho wn;:lit out and visited, not inorely by tho pastor, but by members of the church and society. Whether rich or poor, they should not bo overlooked or neglected. They have claims as strangers, independent of all outward distinctions. -Lit us sco that they have prompt attention.

IS ' Tho Now Orleans Bulletin, of tho 20th instant, says : Passing through the Arcade saloon, wo noticed at one ofthe auction stands a negro girl tip for sale, nnd around a closely packed crowd that appeared to bo deeply interested in what was going on. Curiosity led us to pause and inquire what was the cause ofthe apparent .excitement. The bids wore going on in a very spirited manner, and generally at an advance of only li'vo dollars at a bid, and at every bid the eyes of the crowd would quick ly turn in the direction whence the bids pro ceeded, tho interest and excitement being, in tho meantime, upon tho increase. The gill, a bright intelligent inulatres?, nbout fourteen years old, was evidently notindifibront to what was traiispu'in;;. 1 hero wtt. no moisture m her eyes, but tin lev assumed nn oxnresxmn which indicated that sho felt some anxiety in i i .1... ...u i .1... 1 ... i.:..i.::.

As tho bids cunio near a thousand dollars, tho excitement becauio intense, and as that figure was called, a spontaneous hiss was heard' from ono end of the room, to thu othor, followed by a vehement shout of" Turn him cut!":. " Turn him out!" A rush was made for the door, tho hammer had fallen, and tho girl also, into the arms of her mother, who had become tho purchaser. The explanation of it all was that the woman hud beou freed by her owner and had earned money to buy her child, the inula truss in question, and being a very valuable servant, sever-, al persons to obtain her, but all bf them, with one oxecption, had pledged tho mot hot that tliev .wniild not bid against her, and they honorably kept their faith. It was tho conduct of this one, who was bidding against the niotli- or which so excited and exasperated the crowd on the occasion. Tho man made good his escape ; fortunately so for him, wo think, as we heard sundry expressions about "Lynching," ifcc, us the crowd came back to tall; oyer the matter. The mother was so much affected by tho joy of having succeeded in retaining possession of her child, that sho swooned away and wo&carriqd out of thu saloon. , ; .,,(,..., Death axd MKjroiiv.

Now, I ask my friend from Mississippi, do you believe that all men aro endowed by tho Greater with tho inalienable right to lile, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ? Be a3 frank as I was. My opino'n is, that God has given the gentleman from Mississippi tho sumo right to life' and liberty as ho has to Krankliii Pierce; and I would as soon see the President of tho United Stutos robbed of lilierty and tho pursuits of happinosR, or his w ife sold from his arms, as I would the humblest man that ever trod tho footstool of God. . Thoso aro my sentiments ; and 1 havo been pained to see my Jo-ptililicaii friends stand hero and defend themselves for entertaining these sentiments, when thoy onuht to attack those who deny them. , Wh.it, Sir, shall Beptiblicans stand horo and excuse und justify themselves lor entertain ing sentiments for the support of which our i T"lf? mot the hosts of Britain upon a littu- tired battle-llelds. - -- - i'I'Iio right of all moo to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, is the lirst fiimlatiiuntal principle, the chief comer stone, the basis, the ! foundation of the' Republican party.

I want tho : member fn-m Ohio to draw the distinction be-tween -tlio slaveholders bringing his slavo Into subjection by the lash- nnd the Northern men bringing their poor people into subjection by starvation.

The gsnflenian understands that the wile of a slave hold by the master is liable lo his pollutions, und dare not resist hQr master's approaches, , Ho sells her children aye, his Own offspring, born of his slave for paltry pelf. Thero is no such thing in our Northern code. ' . ' " ' Mr. .Bennett, of -Mississippi.! would ask the gentleman from Ohio, if he is not aware that in a certain case of tho separation of ji child from its mother, by articles of scnara- tion, a Northern man was the pnrehasor of the cliild, and not a houthern mau l,..; Mr. Giddings. I know not of tho particular case referred to by the gcnll-Jinan, but horo, in the City of Washington, ns told by that old man eloquent, Mr. J. y. Adams, twenty years ago, a slave dealer reeking in iniquity, purchased a mother and a child, up in Montgomery County, Md., nnd separated them from the husband and father and tlio other children. and imprisoned them in that infernal hell which once existed at tho corner of Seventh street and Maryland avenue. There tho mother, with no oyo but that of her God upon her, contemplating tho past, and looking for ward to the nornd nitnro, saw the doom to which sho and hor children wore condemned. and when her soul was wrought np with fren- zywiioii reason was,,dethroned, sho took the life of her offspring,' and then severed the thread of hor own existence and rushed un bidden to the presence of her Gud, and there '.niado hor appeal against thoso who uphold i .! n...i..r.:UA r... ci.- .

"Why, soldiers, why, : ' Should we bo inehinehcly boys, ' '. Whoso business 'tis to die," Ac. llivoico, naturally sweet, sounded porfect- ' ly melodious, as,, unconsciously, ho forgot his duties as a sentinel, and gave to tho sons the I lull compass of his manly tones. At a little distance1, conceated: from tho sentinel by the U''Hkbfiry, was an officer, upon whoso. arm leanod a beautiful girl absentees from the ball-room. .' - 1 As tho after fate of this bravo officer forms a memorable pago in our country's history, my readers may perhaps like a description of his person, He .was. rather under tho middle height of (i handsome, well-made figure, and erect military caniugo. .: II is faco was oval, and tho features decidedly handsome. The main expression of his countenance displayed franknessaud sincerity.: . His age seemed about thirty. His scarlet coat was faced with bull', and buff breeches, .with white silk stockings, adorned the lower part of his person. Such was tho ball room costumsof.au olIlcorofth.it period. ' ' :., , " You soem melancholy to-night, Major Andre," said his fair companion. "On such a night as this you should be otherwise." "And in such company, you should have added, Miss Bookman 1'aidon nio for this apparent quietness. Tho thought that 'this may be tho last night that I shall over spend m iNow ion;, is enough to ii.alvoouo leel nul ancholy, is it not, fair lady ?" "Leave ew I ork, ilitior Andre?" said tho young lady, with some surprise. Aro you going south with Lord Cornwallis?" "A soldier, Miss Beckman, must inform no one of his destination, und particularly one like yourself, with.a touch of tlio rebel tbeline towards your countrymen. This much I wjll answer I am going south." " Some new plan of Sir Henry's, I'll bo bound," said tho laughing girl. " I do love Washington, and that is the truth. My father, it is certnhv'Yeuiains linn in his allegiance ti King George; but 1, 1 go with our republican, Ueorge the BoldifU'.fcQm Virginia." '. ' I canntit say that I thiilk less of yott for such feeling, Miss Bookman," said Andre; it is natural we should love our country. Washington is a bravo soldier, and from till I hear, a gcod man. Bo that as it may, however, he has no light to take up arms against his lawful king, and when ho is taken, as ho must be, ho will end his days on a gibbet." . . . . " I'll wager you this rose," said tho incrry-heartod girl, in a laughing tone, taking one from her hair, "against the first .new novel you receive by tho London packet, that you will suli'er such punishment lirst and that youikoowis impossible, Major; for my. countrymen treat tho king's officers, with the high est respect when prisoners. Spies only are hung, and neither W aslmurton nor yoursell are likely to undertake that profession." It seemed as ii a spasm passed through tho frame of tho officer, tor ho trembled for an instant like a leaf, an incident which was long after remembered by his fair companion when mentioning his nieiulcholy fato. ' iou are ill, Major. Let us go in." , 'Xo, no," said he, faintly ; "it was but n momentary nervous direction, and has now-passed." : ' . ' " lliero aro at times, Jliss Ucckman, presentiments of evil in tho human mind, that conic without real cause, nnd trouble us we know not why. 1 cannot say but that my physical health is as good as ever it was. 'Tlio niht is beautiful, und the scene within Sir Henry's mansion enchanting; but still there is a heaviness about my spirits that I cannot shako oil. I sec a danger before me, yet know not where 1.0 guard againat, or how to meet.-Though shadowy, it appears palpable and distinct. - Ah ! that song." At this moment the silver tones of the sentinel's voice rang sweetly upon the car, with the wcrds of the song wo havo mentioned. Whilst thus engaged, tho Major and his fair coinpanion.s.nddonly appeared licforo him. , In an instant his voice was hushed, and his musket brought suddenly to "present anus," as he stood motionless in truo uiilitaay position before his superior. "Nay, nay, AYhitely, cease not your song," said tho Major; "on such a jiight ns this I wonder not that you should feel like singing. I will stand responsible to tho sergeant lor such a breach of dicipline." ' -" I should like much better to hear it in full, soldier," said the lady, "I only know it, lady," said tho sentinel, "from hearing Major Audro sing it when 1'vo been on duty at his quarters, l'eihaps he, madam, will consent, to favor you with it.'! t " Well, Miss Beckman, I will not deny yqu, but I cannot crpial Whttely in tha song, M you will soori find out." lie than commenced, and sang .with groat pathos and beauty. Tho calm spicudor of the night, his pensive air, and tho feeling with which ho antored into the words of the song, gave it great effect As he Concluded, ho was surprised to hear the exclamations. "Bravo Andrei 7. ,,':Bea,utiful 1" Excellent!" from numerous vwcitgi .In fact ha was surrounded by a goodly portion of tho ball-room company who had availed thomsclvcs "of apauso iujhe dancd to visit tho garden.,, ' . ,; ' "Well done, Audro 1" said a stout and portly gentleman irt military costumo, wit.li a large star, on the breast of hi coat" you shall hereafter bur the titio of ong master in vyCll as adjutant general to His Majesty's troops In .'Ajj' But, come, man your politeness aud gaiety seem, to bo on a furlough tonight. .

A correspondent of tlio Zion's' Advocate has very sensible views dn this point ! " "There 1st, on tho part of many cdngroja-fions, nn unpardonable neglect in regard to this thingi It is sceir and lelt in the porch anil the pew; in the. streets and at home,, Wo have knowp strangers lo go to a place of wor-s!iipnn,d .wait a long time' bjibiO'liny ' ono would notice lliem to offer a sjat ; and then it would be done iu such a maimer as to make them feel that they were intruders. Service ended, they hurry away without a kind word or look from nny ono,' most unfavorably impressed in regard to thoso worshipping there, and resolving never to occasion them trouble again. We have known other places, where the neglect was not at this point, but, after wr- sons had taken their seats in the 'house and had become a part, of tho congregation.. Thoy jrc strangers, and should he sdtiglit out, call ed upon, and made to feel that they are among true and sympathizing friends. Instead of this, weeks and months pass away and no one call upon them ; they aro not acquainted, but strangers still, feel that thoy are without menus. ami without sympathy. This is not right. Not only Christianity, but a sound policy demands something different. ' J-.vory religious society that would prosper, must show proper attention to strangers. It should bo seen that they aro promptly anil courteously provided with seats, nnd made to feel that they havo a cordial welcome thero. Kind looks should greet them ns they come, and lellow them as they go. Should they couio again, let them meet with the samo reception. And should they become constant worshippers there, let thein ho wn;:lit out and visited, not inorely by tho pastor, but by members of the church and society. Whether rich or poor, they should not bo overlooked or neglected. They have claims as strangers, independent of all outward distinctions. -Lit us sco that they have prompt attention.

Now, I ask my friend from Mississippi, do you believe that all men aro endowed by tho Greater with tho inalienable right to lile, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ? Be a3 frank as I was.
