OFiglM Of Nrnr0 NiaverY.

The Pitts. Gazette informs us that eurIy
IN the sixteenth century, the SpaninTds hag-
ing founded settlements in The West Indies,
reducing the natives TO bondage md seTvis
Jude. The constitution, iempers aud hsb-
lis Of the Indians, however, untitled them
for such condition. The system was con.
lsequently cruel. fatal and unprofitable.
"About the year 1917, Las Casas, the
Spanish Bishop Of Chiapa, q man whose
character for benevolence has been geneFnly
admitted, with the view Of relieving the poor
Indians from the cruelties 10 which they
were subjected, and after all other expedi-
onts had failed, proposed to substitute Afri>
cans for Indians. The suggestion was inn
mediately acted upon, and the Emperor
Charles V granted patent to certain per-
sons TO supply the Sandwich Islands with
slaves. This was the same Charles whom
Luther met nj the Diet Of Worms.
sit is said, however, that negro slaves had
been imported into The Spanish colonies MS
early as 1901; nnd that Las Casas onlv
chose one of The two existing evils. In
those days, and long afterwards, lew appear
TO have thought II wrong TO kidnn2 or pur-
chase fth Aative chiefs, the poor Africans,
and the saIye le heir consciences was that
they weie her .en, and Of course accu.scd.
This applied to both Indians aad Africans.
Soto, the confessor of Charles, a Dominican,
had more just and consistent views, and
boldly attacked the African slave trade; and
his influence, although not sufficient to put
on end to it, secured IN edict tending TO
mitigate slavery in the colonies. This was
in 1913.
sin 1862, the English entered into the
trade of supplying The Islands; but i, was
not until 1920 that the first cargo was car-
ried into these colonies, and these were car.
Iied in Dutch vessel, and landed in Vir-
ginia. Al that time the Dutch had possess
sion Of New Amsterdam, (now New York }
but the records Of tha, colony make no mem
ton of slaves until six years afterward.
The records of Massachusetts make mention
of slaves ms early as 1880.
'sThus we fad that from 1880 10 1910, a
lpertSd of 1888 years, slaves continued TO be
imported from Africa 10 these colonies ard
States, and until nenr the close or the last
century the minds Of men seemed TO he in !.
sensible TO the enormi,y Of the traffic. Now
it is almost universally held in abl.orrence
Such are the revolutions in human senti-
ment; and il is manifest that that sentiment
is still advancing, and at war with slavery

SAVING TIME

A clergyman who had considerable of q
farm as was generally the case in our fore.
fathers days, went out TO see one of his Ia.
borers, who was blowing in the field, and
found him sitting upon the plow, resting his
team.
john said he, 'would il not be good
plan for you TO have stub scythe here, and
be hubbins few bushes while the oxen are
resIingf'
John with q countenance that might well
have become The clergyman himself, instant
ly replied-- m
Would il not be well, sir, iur you to have
a swinging board In the pulpit, and when
they are singing 10 swingle a little fllx?'
The reverend gentleman turned on his
heel, laughed heartily, and said no more
abou, hubbing bushes.
