The course perSued by the British Gov
eminent for the suppression of the slave
trade, Is disgrace to any civilized, nation
and brightly understood would not be coun-

y sIiPulatiOns have became a party 10 this
system Of oppression. Here we can see its
operation more clearly then you can in the
United States, & propose enlightening nv
country-men in relation 70 some Of its prac-
teal details.
The English nation allow a bounty upon
every slave Whic is captured from a slave YES

distributed among the officers, and crew of

for his redemption from the bondage of the
SLAYER, is in one of the British PROVINCES for
ten years for thirty or forty pounds, and the
excess is gain to the government. which

WOman's Tenderness and Love.

WOm6W'8 1eWOCEMee8 ana Love-
1t has often been remarked that, in sick
ness, there is no hand like Woman's hand,
no heart like woman's heart--and there is
not. A mans breast may swell with unut-
terable sorrow, and appFehens ion may rend
his mind, yet place him by the sick couch,
and in the shadow, rather than light, Of the
sad lamp that watches it-let him have 10
count over the long, dull hours Of night, and
wait, alone and sleepless, the struggle of
the gray dawn into the chamber of suffering
let him be appointed TO this ministry, even
for the sake of the brother Of his heart, OF
the father Of his being. and his CROSSE ma
ture, even where il is most perfect, will tire;
his eye will close, and his spirit grow impa-
tent of the dreary task: and though love
and anxiety remain undiminished, his mind
will own to itself a creeping in of an irresis
tibls selishness which, indeed, he may be
ashamed of, and struggle to reject, but which,
despite Of all his efforts, remains TO charac-
teTize his nature, and prove in one instance,
at least, his manly weakness. But see
mother, sister, or a wife in his place. The
woman feels no WEAKNESS, and even no re-
collection of self. In silence in the depth
of night, as dwells, not only passively, but,
so far as the qualified terms may express our
meaning, joyously. Her ear acquired blind
mans instinct, as from time to time it catch
es the slightest stir Of whisper, or the breath
Of the now more.than.ever loved-one, who
lies under the hand Of human affection. He

nal, would not awaken a mouse; ifhe speaks

lHoERY OF THE DOWNFALL OF ATHEEs.--
Pursuing incautiously her plans Of ambition,
Athens relied TOO confidently on the per-
manency Of her resources, and neRlected
the economy Of her revenues: and without
even considering the conseouen noes which
must follow, it, together with the empire Of
the sea, her performance should vanish,
and, with her monopoly Of commerce, her
riches should fail, she nevertheless neglect.
ed entirely the value Of her landed posses
siOns. Psrilous as affairs thug stood abroad,
they were no less alarming at home. The
publicity Of law proceedings, aud the speech
es made on those occasions, gave TO the
whole such dramatic interest that people
crowded 10 them as if they were going 10 a
theatre. This not only promoted idleness
(for which Aristophanes calls his couRtrymen
cecheDei, gapers,) but produced also an &C.
tual rage for litigation-a taste which more
easily became excessive, since the contend
ing parties had no costs to pay for the ad-
ministration of justice. The judges gladly
maintained this spirit for contention for their
own profit, and, a crowd of poor citizens
thronged to the popular assemblies to par
take Of this paltry gain. To them the few
oboli allowed for attendance in the popular
assembly were a sufficient attraction; con-
sequently, the mere populace formed the
majority, aud, as might be expected, decid-
ed universally in favor Of those demagogues
who best knew how to fatter their inclina-
tons and humours, and this very often by
dint Of the mos: impudent Glamour A
| pity it is that even the mental cultivation
Of the Athenians should have contributed
10 their destruction!

Value OF Nose.

Many years ago we were on board the

north coast of Brazil. AT that time good

Ourself and another yOungster were in the
second mates watch. This officer, though
by no means an old man, was veteran sea
man. He commenced his seafaring labors
at the age of nine years, and had been
twenty years at sea. One night, supposing
ourselves nearly in the LATITUDE Of the coast,
and several degrees to the eastward Of our
port, we were running along TO the west
ward, with a fine breeze from the south
ward. In the morning watch the second
mate was or deck, and it was about half

mate, however, was not willing to admit the
fallibility of his olfactory powers. he in.

went below to rouse the captain.
