THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.
POETRY.
A SONG OF MAY. .
.' By Willi Gaylorp Clarke. . i ,'
The spring! scented .hues all around me are smiling;
There are songs in the stream there is health in the gale
A sense of delighfcin each bosom is dwelling, ''
As float the pure day-beams o'er mountain and vale;
The desolate reign of old winter is broken "
The verdure is fresh upon every tree;
Of Nature's revival the charm and a token ,
Of love, oh thou spirit of beauty, to thee.
The sun looketh forth from the halls of the morning:,
And flushes the clouds that begirt his career;
He welcomes the gladness, and glory, returning
To rest on the promise and hope of the year.
Ho fills with rich light all the halm-breathing flowers;
He mounts to the zenith, and laughs on the wave;
He wakes into music the green forest bowers,
And gild the gay plains which tho broad river lave.
The young bird is out on his delicate pinion.
He timidly sails in the infinite sky ;
A greeting to May, and her fair dominion,
Ho pours on the west wind's fragrant sigh;
Around, above, thero are peace and pleasure,
The wooJIands are sighing the heaven was bright;
The fields are unfolding their emerald treasure,
And man's genial spirit is soaring in light.
Alas for my weary and care-haunted bosom!
The spells of the spring-time arouse it no more;
The song in the wild wood the sheen in tho blossom,
The fresh swelling fountain their magic is o'er!
When I list to the streams, when I look on the flowers,
They tell of the past, with so mournful a tone,
That I call up the throngs of my long banished-hour,
And sigh that their transports are over and gone.
From the wide spreading earth, from the limitless hoav'n,
There have vanished an eloquent glory and gleam ;
To my veil'd mind no more is the influence given,.
Which colorelh life with the hues of a dream ;
The bloom-purpled landscape its loveliness keepoth,
I deem that a light as of old gilds the wave,
But the eye of my spirit in heaviness sleepeth,
Or sees but my youth, and the visions it gave.
Yet it is not that age on my years hath descended,
'Tis not that its snow wreaths encircle my brow :
But the newness and sweetness of being are ended
I feci not their love kindling witchery now ;
The shadows of death o'er my path have bi en sweeping,
There are those who have loved mc, debarred from the day ;
The green turf is bright where in peace they are sleeping,
And on wings of remembrance my soul is away.
It is shut to the glow of this present existence
It hears, from the past, a funeral strain ;
And it eagerly turns to the high seeming distance,
Where the last blooms of earth will be garnered again,
Where no mildew tine soft damask rose cheek shall nourish
Where grief bears no longer the poisonous sling,
Where pitiless death no dark sceptre shall flourish.
Or stain with his blight the luxuriant spring.
It is thus that the hopes which to others are given.
Fall cold on my heart in this rich month of May ;
I hear the clear anthems that ring thro' the heaven
I drink the bland airs that enliven the day ;
And if gentle Nature, her festival keeping,
Delights not my bosom, ah! do not condemn
O'er the lost and the lovely my spirit is weeping,
For my heart's fondest raptures are buried with them.
We copy the following thrilling stanzas from the poems
of Wm. 13..Tappan, Esq. .To roost of on r readers they
will doubtless be new, and to all acceptable, as articles
from that Bource always are. Mass. Abolitionist. '
American Slavery.
Lift ye my oountry's banners high,
And fling abroad its gorgeous sheen ;
Unroll its stripes upon the sky,
And lot its lovely stars be seen.
Blood, blood is on its spangled fold,
Yet from the battle comes it not ;
God ! all the seas thy channels hold,
Cannot wash out the guilty spot.
These glorious stars and stripes that led
Our lion-hearted fathers on,
Veiled only to the honored dead
Beaming where fields and fame were won :
These symbols tl'at to kings could tell
Our young republic's rising name,
And speak to falling realms the knell
Of glory past; of future shame :
Dishonored shall they he by hands
On which a sacrament doth lie !
The light that heralded to lands
Immortal glory must it die i
No ! let the earthquake utterance be
From thousand swelling hearts no so !
And let one voice from land and sea,
JJcturn indignant answer no! ""' ;, '"
Up, then ! determine, dare and do,
What justice claims, what freemen may ,
What frowning heaven demands of you,
While yet its muttering thunders stay ; ,..
That thou, forever from this soil
Bid Slavery's withering blight depart J
And to the wretch restore the spoil.
Though thou may'st not the broken heart.''
That thou thy brother from the dust
Lift up, end speak his spirit free ! , ..
That millions whom thy crime hath curst,
May blessings plead on thine and thee.
Then to the universe wide spread
Thy glorious star without a stain ;
Bend from your skies, illustrious dead !
The world ye won is free again.' .
Go let us ask of Constantino
To loose his grasp on Poland's throat
And beg the lord of Mahmoud's line
To spare the struggling Suliote. .
Will not the schorching answer come,
From turbaned Turk and fiery Russ
, " Go, loos your fettered slaves at home,
Then turn and ask the lik e of us !" ,
. G. Whittitr.

" ' From the Herald of Freedom
- Mount Auburn. ,
" After the labors of. the three days N. E. Con
vention, of active and enthusiastic sitting from 10
A. M. Tuesday, to 10 (or more) P. M.'Thursday,
it was proposed, by way of anti-sla very dissipation,
to visit this celebrated home of .Boston s dead, and
to recruit our overtaxed and worn spirits by a ram
ble among ns glades and graves. An ample omni
bus was bespoken and we filled it within and with
out with ultra aboHtionists. ' A cheerier company
never visited " the house of feasting, than started
for that home " appointed for all the living." ,It
was not the cheer of the feast-going multitude how.
ever, that animated them. It was that lightness
of heart, that follows exercise of the buoying " care
for others" that care that wrinkles not the brow.
It was the freedom of neck which comes of wear
ing the yoke of Christ, and that ease of shoulder
found in carrying Mis " light burden." All were
abolitionists. Heaven grant the nation's omnibus
may speedily be freighted with no others.
It had been gusty and showery (like the begin
nings of some of pur conventions) but before we
reached the cemetery, the sun broke out in alibis
clearing-up, afternoon glory, and spread a radiance
over the 'green landscape that can hardly be ap
preciated but by the eye that has been transferred
from the blank and prison gloom of the city, at
once into the verdant freshness of the country.
Discharging our omnibus debt at the .gate, way,
we entered the cemetery. A wide and beautiful
pathway wound before us into the depths of this
last resting place of the tired city. It strikes you
as any thing but a burying ground. It is entire
ly without any of thoe sombre dismantles that
adorn the country grave yard. All is cheerful
and springing, and savors more of resurrection
than burial.. And why should it not be so ?
Why should not we regard it a friendly deed of
our mother earth, that she thus receives again our
deserted dust to her bosom ? Why should we call
the grave " that dark inn ?"'. It is no inn. The
traveller does not "put up" there. Nothing but
the tegument is cast off and left for a fevy days,
till the spirit resumes it, renovated in more than
primeval beauty, and decked with immortality.
The first token that meets you is the tomb of Spurz-
heim on the lelt, on a little, eminence, the coun-
try has placed his remains. His name only is in-
scribecl on the plain marble. A gratilvintr and
touching sight to the wanderer from the banks of
the Rhine. Passing on, prove and clade.hill side.
lope and labyrinth paths, and white monuments
peeping out from the deep verdure of woods and
shrubbery, break upon the delighted approach.
lhe ample enclosure, embracing, it is said, some
hundred acres, is broken into numberless inequal
ities ol every variety mound and hillock and
high hill gentle slope and bold steep rocky
and smooth open glade vista, thick woods
pond and dell crowned with native forest, and
sown thick underneath with every shrub and flow
er of the earth almost. Some of the trees were
of the grand forest-cast of the New-Hampshire
hills. .We noticed especially some beeches, that
would vie with the tallest in the " Frnnconia
Notch." Numberless little guide boards, hung
about in the trees, indicated the growth along the
paths to which they leu in bewildering multitude.
There was Cedar path and Maple path, Hemlock
path and Beech path, Birch path and Sumac path,
&c. &e. The whole woods were alive with birds,
who, as the afternoon waned, set up their chorus
and turned into a grand orchestra this sweet dwell
ing place of silence. We heard there many an
old acquaintance of our cow-boy days in the wilds
of the Pernegiwassett country (Mr. Buckingham
don't know -where that is 1) Among ' others, the
fife bird," or wood lark, New-England nightin-
gale or whatever the Audubon name. We used
to call it "hTet bird, . thotigh that was probably a
home made title. It was the same we used to hear
warble in the Holderness pine wood?, along in
June, when it had cleared off, after a thunder
shower, towards sunset. , Then was the time for
this little bro'wn backed, spotted breasted minstrel
to pipe its clearest jay, from the top of the white
pine, The 'whistle of the canary bird or the caged
nightingale was nothing to it no more in com
parison than the narrow court where these little
captives sing in the city, to the glorious Moose-
hillock woods. We heard the " fife bird, or a
species of it in the Mount Auburn thicket, but it
did not sing the full country strain it was a mu
tilated tune, amended, perhaps, by Lowoll Mason
as he has improved Old Hundred. .
The only thing that took off, in our fancy, from
the perfect interest of the cemetery, was the oslen
tatious display of tombenj. You could not heh
seeing the pomp and aristocracy of the city in these
precincts ot mortality, "lhe ruling .passion
strong" after " death." . The towering homes and
pride-swollen fronts do not frown from the heights
of beacon street upon the Boston common (and
commonality) with a colder superciliousness, than
the $10,000 obelisks from out their cast-iron
exclusions, upon the rambling visitant ofthi.5 New
England " Pert la Chaise." Church yard " prop
erty and standing" " good society" of the dead
" first families in tho city ot silence the aristoc
racy of mortality. Oh,,, poor human vanity and
emptiness ! that would maintain " family pride in
the domains of the great leveller. What if they
lay their dust in these marble cerements. They
will sleep there but a day. The archangel will
soon rout them with his final trumpet " There
are two places;" said out fine-minded old neighbor
hood judge'L "where mankind ought to ob
serve equal ity-Uhe church and tlie churchyard."
But vanity exclude?, the wayfaring matVfrom its
cushioned nnd lordly pew and would fain thrust
out vulgar mortality from Us empty depository at
the foot of the far fetched and costly cenotaph.
All this may be "ultraistn and grave yard fanat
icism. We were fresh from 'an anti-slavery con
vention. . ' .
The surrounding country shows beautifully
from the various openings of the cemetery'.' Off
toward Roxbury the broad rich swells, green as
fertility and spring could make it-embowered all
over with the full leaved trees and whitened with
country seats, where trie opulence of tho princely
city has wantoned in luxurious " building-" And
away to the east toward the ocean and high up in
prospect looms the city the dome of the old com
monwealth towering in the dusky sea-haze amid
the dark reigions of slate, that stretch boundlessly
around it. It looked " a city on a hill" and as we
stood quietly, in that still retreat from human noise,
we mused upon the stir nnd rush of it3 thronged
streets the swarming wharves and the shouting
harbor all soon to be hushed to silence, at time's
imperative and impartial bidding. But we had
no time for ' musing. We mounted the summit
mil or tne cemetery, and our company, oeing in we
mood of ftraise and thankssrivinp;, we united in a
sacred sonsr. We were. " merry and we sung
psalms." And what cause for gratitude we had.
We were all alive, in the midst of this great bury
ing yard ; probationers " prisoners oihope," with
the means of salvation. God grant that not a dear
anti-slavery spirit of us all come short of it. We
were free, in a land of slavery unmolested in a
land of violence and mobs. We were above all
abolitionists, in the broad sense of the word in
that sense, that shakes the nations-r-and will soon
sunder the fetters of , the slave. . i ,
After two hours of the briefest and swiftest time
we left the enclosure. We attempt no description
of the various monuments and tombs. They are
very generally executed and located with great
taste and are us,. beautiful , as wealth ana art could
make them,
On our return we paused at old Harvard and
were politely admitted to a "lance at its curiosities
its libraries its cabinet, and what is finer than
all, ils old classic shades. We were readily ad
mitted. The guardian of the place probably did
not suspect he was introducing a company of in
cendiary zealots." We trust he. will not forfeit his
place on 'its discovery, for We all put down OUT
names in the visitor's registry; Saw John Quin-
c'y Adarns at full length on the library will. He
stood in the noble attitude of defending the right
of petition. Quitting the old university, our ride
was quickly sped amid the delights ot fraternal
Oil versatioil and we soon exchanged the muffled
tramp of the country highway for the rattle of the
paved and clamorous City.

Hints for Abolitionists,
Anti-Slavery Neus is very cheering, to be sure:
but if some of the anti-slavery folks don't do
something besides tell the cheering neios, and
chuckle over it, there will soon be no anti-slavery
news to tell. Every thing in its place, and pro
portion, and season.

command more attention than the hand barrows

more pleasant to tread the quarter deck and ride.
than to lug the hand barrow. Hal somebody must
do the work, Reader ! Are you willing to be a
working abolitionist ?
It is interesting to know what the southerners
are doing and what the politicians are doing
but is more important to know, and have it fully
settled and determined, what the northern aboli
tionists will do what they will do at the polls
what they will do in their churches what they
will do in their conventions and meetings. Rea

a year before hand, what the southerners, the pol
iticians, &c. &c. will do, next year ? Find out
what the abolitionists are doing now, nt the rvorth !
Help them do it. Determine what shall be done,
how it shall be done, and when it shall be done,
at the North, and you may know well enough
what will be done, a year or two hence, at the
south.

have no doubt Dr. Phelps' Compound Tomato Pills will, in
a great measure, if not entirely supersede the use oCal

tried them in various other diseases, as Ttlieumatism, JJys-

far as my knowledge extends, I have no hesitancy in rec

Yours respectfully,
THOMAS JOHNSTON.
From a gentleman of high respectability ; dated
New York, Nov. 6th, 1838.
To U. G. Phelps, Dear Sir : I have used your Com
pound Tomato Pills, the past season, for the Liver com
plaint ; and am happy to add, with decided benefit : and
therefore take great pleasure in recommending them ; as
well from a sense of gratitude to the benevolent Proprietor,
as with a view of serving the cause of philanthropy ; from
a sense of duty I owe the public to bearing my testimony
favor of this the world s invaluable medicine.
Six years since, I suffered from a malady, pronounced by
the concurrent opinion ol a council ot pnysiciana, a enron-
ic inflammation of the Liver; and underwent a skilful
mercurial treatment ; being confined for many months ;
and at length mainly restored to a tolerable degree of
health, though not without an apprehension that I should
be similarly afflicted. My fears have been but too well
confirmed by a recurrence of nearly all the symptoms of
this dreadful malady the past summer ; when accidentally
I heard of your Pills, and learning something of their prop
erties and characters, and their rapidly increasing celebri
ty, I resolved on trying them. Feeling' as I did, a repug
nance to resorting again to Calomel, and after ineffectually
and unsuccessfully trying other medicines professing a
specific remedy for this complaint, I purchased a box of the
Menn. Sand, Drusgistn,rnrner William and Fulton streets
duly authoriied agents ; they presenting roe, to accompa
ny the box, a pamphlet containing a specification, direc-
t'"nSi & I hJ tae" one box of them before I hap-
P1'? Pncnccd ll.cir healing ethcacy and curative effects ;
and now that I hove given them a thorough trial, can
cheerfully and unhesitatingly pronounce them the very
best remedy extant for any derangement or auection of the
Liver or Spleen, llillious Affections, Palpitation of the
Heart, or Dyspepsia in anv of its forms : also as a eood
family medicine, are the best with which I am acquainted.
At my recommendation and solicitation many of mv
friends and acquaintances have taken them as a family med
icine, with perfect success. I grant my permission to use
this as you please. lours truly,
ISAAC W. AVEtY, 179 William street
From the Rev. I. JV". Spraguc, Pastor of the fourth
Congregational Church, tlartjord, Conn.
Dr. G. Ii. Phelps,
Sir-'-For several years past I have found it well to keep
in my family a bottle of castor oil and other simple medi
cines, and no doubt ther timely use has been greatly bene
ficial in preserving our health. ' tor some time past 1 have
made use of your Compound Tomato Pills, as a substitute
for those medicines, and have been so much pleased with
their mild, yet effective operation, that they have become
our family medicine, while others have been laid aside. I
prefur them for myself and children, to any other medicine
I have ever nsed to correct the irregularities of the stomach
and bowels. Yours, &c. I. N. SPiiAGUE.

teresting manner, the applicability of this medicine tn tu
mors flud scrofulous swellings, and is another evidence
its effects as an alternative, in changing the action of th
