For the National Era.
THE WORLD AND MY SOUL.

World my soul has fought with thee
A long and dubious fight
Not often true unto herself,
And to the sovereign Right;
Not closely hath she watched the hosts
Of Pleasure and of Pride,
For many of her best Desires
Have in their ambush died
Her armor, too, hath gathered rust
Idly hung sword and shield,
When the loud trump Of Truth has called
His warriors to the field
And many a traitor Wish and Win,
BY night have opened wide
Her adamantine gates, whose strength
All outer foes de6ed:
Full oft deceived by seeming friends,
And routed sore by foes,
And lulled by false and foolish hopes
Untimely to repose.
q Soul thou hast not met the World
With victory complete,
And seen its legions quail and cover,
As csptives at thy feet
Alas few trophies are thy DUE
And many of thy sears
Arc brands of shame, and of defeat,
Not worn in glorious wars
o Soul, arouse and arm. The day
Is o'er thoe-with thee yet;
Be braye--its battle may be thine,
Its sun in victory set.
Have faith in God upon Him cast
Thy weakness, doubt, and care
And charge triumphant ON thy foes,
With hope, aud praise, and prayer

NEGRO MERCHANTS IN AFRICA.

The following il IN interesting sketch Of the
manner in which trade IL carried ON between
European ships and tho negroes Of the African
coast II IL from J. Smiths "Trade and Travels
in Western Africa" The author represents
himself M having made several voyages in tho
double capacity ofsurgeon and trading captain
for one of the first merchants in England

tonish n white man NO much ON first visit to
this place, on n trading expedition, as the amount
Of goods solicited by and intrusted to this
people. With the utmost confidence, fellow
nearly naked will ask you for three or four or
even five thousand pounds worth of goods ON

amount have trusted more than one man
goods, the returns of which were worth between
two and three thousand pounds Not one in
ten, however, that asks for trust il worthy Of
credit to the amount OF NO many hrthings.
Some few Of the chiefs are really splendid mcr-
chants. Hard in making their bargains, but
strict in their payments, they approach very
near in their commercial transactions to their
brethren Of Europe and the civilized parts of
Asia and America. And they go about their
business in n business-likc manner. Capt A

haps ask him when he means to pay you for
any goods he may purchase and what are his
resources and he is sure TO preface anything
he may have TO say by asking, il he has not u
good head and knows how to turn any goods
with which you may intrust him to good
account and il he has not a good name among
white men, and if he does not always meet his
payments.
Having admitted oil that he says of himself
to be true he will inform you that he has 40
many canoes and 80 many slaves 10 man them,
that he has several clever slaves to take COM
mand Of the canoes and trade the goods in the
interior, and that the only thing he wants is
money goods TO send 10 market. Trusting to
any great amount or even Mt all, depends en-
tirely upon circumstances. II n trader have n
good name and large house, that is, numerous
wives and slayes-pretty good criteria OF his
wealth-he may he trusted, But some OF tho
young aspirants to commercial fame may NJ
safely be trusted as great chies, To acquire

name, which makes him attentive to business
and prompt in his payments. These men arc
easier to treat with than the Weather mer-

goods that remained after giving trust you send

struction of the Oregon Land Bill, in the Ore
gon Spectator Of June eth:
CONSTRUCTION OF THE LAND LAW.
l. The law requires proof by two or more
dlsintcrested witnesses, that the settler " has re-
sided upon and cultivated the land for four con-

should he get one; but can only hold the por-
ton he would bc entitled 10, if not married in

4. A settler who is not married on or before
the first day of December 1851, OF within one

the wife is not entitled to donation of land.
8 II an cmgrants wife dies ON the way or

| I. In case n settler dies before the notiica-
ton is made, leaving widow, she marrying
again before the list of December, 1881. or
within one year after the arrival of her second
husband in Oregon will be entitled to half of
the first husbands claim in her own right or
she may abandon it, and hold half of the sec
ond husbands claim, if he had not been mar
ried before
8. If settlers wife died, and he marries
again before the LIST of December, 1851, or
within one year after his arrival in Oregon, the
second wife is entitled to a donation but il must

BLoomERs IN PHILADELPHIA.--The reign of
the " Boomers" in Philadelphia may fairly be
said to have begun. On pleasant evenings
Chestnut street is alive with them, generally
promenading in parties, and attended by gem
temen. For several weeks indeed this new
style has been increasing in favor, as an indoor
costume but the natural timidity of the sex
prevents as yet the adoption of the fashion for
promenade to the same extent We have pub
lished one or two communications on the sub
ject, showing the disposition of numerous ladies
to adopt the Boomer" and we have received
other contributions Of a similar purport. We
fully coincide in all that our fair correspondents
write as to the absurdity Of trains on the street
Moreover, the Tapping of wet skirt against
the ankle is sure provocative Of colds, yet
while females continue to wear long dresses
the skirts must become wet in rainy weather
Some of these days perhaps one of our leaders
Of ton will lend her countenance to reform in
attire, and then the notifications, which now
have to struggle against fashion, will be ac-
credited in all circles. Phil Eve. Bulletin.
