OLIVE Ltnyrs for The Continent.

olive Leaves Tor Inc COnlinehl:
We publish the following from tract, for
which we are indebted to Mrs Tracy, which
a'' will aoquaiut our readers with the means by
81 which the friends of peace in England are
disseminating their principles over Europe.
sNe would earnestly solicit the attention
of every friend of Peace TO plnn which we
have set in operation for bringing the prin-
ciples Of our common cnuse regularly before
the hhlfbcnighted millions of the continent
Of Europe. This is, the monthly insertion
in the leading journals Of France, Germany,
and other countries, Of Tract called an
Ohre Leaf for The People; aud occupying
ono or Two columns of an ordinary newspa-
per. This Olive Leaf contains several arti-
Gles embracing short Christian and moral
arguments to prove the sniilness inhuman-
ity, waste, and folly of war; statistics, care
fully collated, showing the bearings of the
war-system upon the people OF different
countries, and the testimonies of statesmen
md of greut and good men to the manifold
evils of the system. Arrangements have
p been made with thirteen of the most inilu-
antial Journals on the continent, for the
monthly insertion of these Olive Leaves !;
viz, Paris I, Berlin 3, IIampburgh ], Wen
ma J., Leipsic /, Augsburg l, Cologne D.,
Frankfort 1, Sinttgarit /, Bremen /, 81. Pc
are now reaching nearly million of minds
scattered all over the continent of Europe.
Thus n vnst and permanent circle Of read-
ers is secured, upon whose attention we may
press the great principles aud facts coDnec-
ted with Peace, precept upon presept, live
upon line, from month 10 nonih, and from
year TO yenr. II is truly work which may
be expanded into n vast educational system,
embracing in its influence all the popua-
~. tons of the continent. II resembles the dis
pensation Of the dew; so equuble and quiet
is its working and so necessary thnt il sho'd
be conducted without any noise or ostentn-
ton, that the Christian women of England
and Scotland, and other countries, were ear
1a nestly solicited at the outset to make this
mission their own, and TO sustain il with
their sympathy and support To this ap-
peal they have most generously responded.
Already, ubout forty Ladies' Olive Leaf So
cielies hnve been formed for this purpose
in Great Britain besides several in the Uni
ted States and in Germany. Each Of these
societies, either by contributions from its
members aud their friends, or by the pro-
eeeds Of needlework, undertakes TO raise n
certain'sum for this mission during the year.
The cost of printing aud distributing these
Olive Leaves in the journals we have men
toned, is about IS. per 1000; thus the gift of
guinea will send 1000 into as many faini-
~ circles in France or Germany. a shil-
ling will send our Dove OF Peace TO 3O0
homes aud one penny TO o. The smallest
contribution, therefore,, will perform
precise work, which the giver may
realize and enjoy. Every penny will go di-
recty to the object, and produce an effect
The child that can give only hdltpenny,
may drop, with its litlle hand, these seed
thoughts of Peace and Human Brotherhood
1. into dozen hearts aud homes.

There is another effort which Elihu Bur
Iitt has warmly advocated in Newcastle on
Two or three occasions, and with which the
Olive Lent Society desirous TO cooper
ate, viz, The substitution, rs far us pract-
cable, of Free Labor Produce for articles
produced by the unpaid toll Of the Slave,
with a view TO discourage that crying sin of
our age, Negro Slavery. Much may be
done in this righteous enterprise by the dis
iributon of tracts and papers, and the en-
ployment of suitable lecturers TO advocate
The claims of the Slave. Funds, however,
for both purposes, are Indispensable; and
the Secretaries aud Treasurer will huve
much pleasure in enrolling the names of
members and dreceiving subscriptions for the
Ladies' Olive Leaf Society. Gentlemen
who are inclined to cooperate, may hand in
their names as members of the League of
brotherhood, the subscription is 2-6 per an
mum.
