Americans who have to bear the reproaches oi
the English for institutions entailed upon them

reply, that the worst slavery that exists among
the civilized nations of the earth is maintained
by British subjects, who transport coolies to the
Chincha Islands. 1t is not the fault OF the Eng

Australia. The coolies brought there, however

the taking and selling free men to such task

Down AMONG THE DEAD MEN.-What n
mighty procession has been marching toward
the grave during the past year. At the usual
estimate more than 3l00O,OO0 of the worlds
population have gone down to the earth again.
Place them in long array and they will give a
moving column of more than thirteen hundred
to every mile of the globes circumference -
Only think Of it; ponder and look upon these
astounding computations! What spectacle,
as they "move on" tramp, tramp-forward
upon this stupendous march
Life is short and time is feeting,
And our hearts though strong and brave,
Still like mufled drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

SHORT SERMoNs.-The editor of the Boston
Transcript goes in for short sermons. Hear
him: N r eua
The oldest settled clergyman in Boston,
who had been the esteemed and beloved pastor
of large society for more than one generation
has averaged about fifteen minutes in the deliv.
cry of his sermons during the forty years of his
ministry. We once heard him preach an i'm.
pressive sermon twelve minutes in LENGTH
Those who have ever listenod to his rich, musi.
cal voice. and heard his lessons Of wisdom and
instruction, have always been impressed by his
short, but very comprehensive discourses. 1t is
a rare talent to be able to make short speech
and we regard it as quite a gift to be able, as
some men can, to say more in fifteen minutes
than others are able to do in an hour How
comprehensive and yet how short is that Ser.
mon Of the Great Teacher! And with what
brevity did the Savior compose the Lords
Prayer. The length of a sermon, address OF
prayer, is the last test we should institute Of
its true value"

AMERICAN CLIPPERs.-lt is well known fact
that the shortest passage ever made between
China and England was by the Witch of the
Wave, Capt Joseph Hardy Millett, of Salem, in
the year 1852 During the past year the short
est passage was performed by the clipper ship
Architect, commanded by Capt George A. Pot.
ter, which arrived at London on the 9th of Oct
beating all the British clippers, it being Capt
P.'s first passage to that part of the world. II
gives us pleasure to state that Capt. Potter is a
Salem boy, and reached home a few days since
in good health. after an absence of ten years
most of the time spent in the East Indies. 1t is
proper to add that the Architect is Baltimore

20 days from London a most excellent winter
