laws obtain in their case, the same disnbli-
ties, the same prejudice against color, the
same degrading auction block, the same
hereditary law, the same doctrine of property
in their bodies and souls both-the same
every thing with which man eau crush and
curse his lellow-man.
Must we then ndmit that the system of
Mnhomet is humane aud benevolent, above
the system of Jesus Christ? We can admit
no such thing. The system of Jesus Christ
in its purity and power has not yet touched
American slavery. When 1t does, the iron
of its bands will be as burnt tow.
With what face eau slaveholding and
slavery. sustaining professors of Christianity
compare their own slavery with that of the
children of the Crescent9 So long as they
claim 20 have the real gospel and to exem-
plify its spirit, how can they answer il before
the bar of even earthly men, that their own
slavery is so savage, so terrible, while that ol
Molmmmednns in Syria and Turkey is so
mild? There is only one alternative. They
must trnduce MISUNDERSTANDING il down
indefinitely below hloslemism, or they must
admit that their Christianity is spurious and
rotten, and that the true system of Christ's
teachings and spirit has never been brought
in contact with American slavery at ALL

Indolcnt! Indolent yes, am indolcnt!
So is tho grass growing tcndcrly, slowly
So is the violet fragrant and lowly,
Drinking in quietness, peace and content:
So is tho bird on the light branches swinging
Idly its carol of gratitude singing,
Only On living and loving intent.
Indolcnt Indolcnt! yes, am indolcnt
SO is the cloud ovcrhanging tho mountain;
So is the trcmulous wave of fouptain,
Uttcring softly its eloquent psalm;
Nerve and sensation in quiet rcposng,
Silent as blossoms the night dew is closing,
But the full heart beating strongly and calm.
Indolcnt Indolcnt yes, am indolent!
If it be idle to gather my pleasure
Out of creations uncovctcd treasure,
Midnight, and moring; by forest and sea
Wild with the tcmpcst's sublime cxultation
Lonely in Autumn's forlorn lamcntation;
Hopeful and Happy with spring and the bee.
Indolcnt Indolcnt ! arc yc not ndolcnts
Thra.ls of the earth and its usuages weary;
Toiling like gnomcs where the darkness is
drcary,
Toiling, and SHINING, to heap up your gold.
Sitting the heavenly breath of devotion;
Crushing the freshness of every emotions;
Hearts like the dead that are pulsclcss and cold
Indolent .Indolent art thou not indolenti
Thou who art living unloving and lonely,
Wrapped in pail that will cover thee only,
Shrouded in sclfshness, piteous ghost
Sad eyes behold thee, and angels arc wccpin:
O'or thy forsakcn and dcsolatc sleeping;
Art thou not indolent Art thou not lost !
