Negroes and Negro Character
AbOiitiOMiSrn--Th South.

Just back of the Slave Coast in Africa is
rich and fertile county, called Dahomey,
which until recently was but little known
TO Europeans. It's government is a pure
despotism, and administered with unparal-
leled ferocity. Here in one of its creest
forms, the negro race exists, perfectly re-.
moved from all the influences of white men,
under no vassalage but what they have cre-
ated for themselves, and with natural
bravery that never permits them to shun any
danger. Here, if Nature, that goddess wor-
shipped by abolitionists, Fourierites and in
fidels, had any inherent grace, we have
hoped to see its vaunted results in the great.
est good of the greatest number, in the love
which the generous heart INDUCES towards
kindred hearts, in the. kindness of indwel-
ling charity, in the voices of the mirthful
and happy, and in the peace and tranquility
OF unsophistcated life. Here, if anywhere,
the long sought Utopia might have been
discovered.
But what do we find! A demon despo
tism, which ornaments its temples and pal.
aces with skulls, constructs its pavements
OF human bones, and feeds its pools with hu-
man blood. Our readers were doubtless
struck with the testimony of a worthy Wes-
leyan missionary, recently published in the
Herdh-that of Mr.. Beachman, who has
lust returned from mission to the slave and
gold coasts Not one of the early or barba.
rous customs of these Horrible negro races,
as he informs us, have been abandoned.
Tncessant massacres are taking place, in
their wars, and at their feasts and funerals.
When husband dies, his wives are buried
alive with him; when q chief or monarch, his
wives not only are doomed to the same fate,
but they are sacrificed by hundreds, and as
they move in procession to the pits where
they are to be bntchered, bedaub themselves
gorily with paint and mud to give gro.
tesque horror to the scene. They march
along over headfess trunks, over rivulets of
tblood, and alphabetically submit to the saw
ing off their hands and their legs, and to be
pounded to death in the reeking pits in
which they are tumbled. At the death oil
the late king of Dahomey's brother, four
thousand victims suffered in this dreadful
manner. At some of their festivals, every
noble slaughters a slave at the gate Of the
enclosure Where che usual ceremonies take
place. The kings executioners rush
through the streets, killing every person
they meet, and the very trees groan under
the weight of the skulls suspended upon
! their branches, Every word Of this is con-

the braying Of thousand trumpets could nt
more have been heard than the voice of I
man, we were shaken and raised and whirl
ed and let down again in a swelling waste
of broken hummocks, and, as the men grasp
ed their boat-hooks in the stiffness that fol
lowed, the boats eddied away in q tumultu
Gus screed of ice, snow and water.
We were borne along in this manner al
long as the unbroken remnant Of the inshort
foe continued revolving-utterly powerles:
and catching glimpse every now and ther
OF the brazen headland that looked dowr
on US through the snowy sky. At last the
foe brought up against the rocks, the looser
fragments that hung around it began tc
separate, and we were able by oars ant
boat hooks, to force our battered little flo
tlla clear of them. To our joyful surprise
we soon found ourselves in stretch Of the
land water, wide enough to give US rowing
room, and with the assured promise of lant
close ahead.
As we neared it, we saw the same for
bidding wall of belt ice as at Sutherland
and Hakluyt. We pulled along its margin
seeking in vain either an opening of access
or a nook of shelter. The gale rose, ant
the ice began to drive again; but there was
nothing to be done but to geta grapnel ouI
to the belt and hold on for the rising tide
The Hope stove her bottom and lost part Of
her weather-boarding, and all the boats were
badly chafed. 1t was an awful storm; and il
was not without constant eXerton that we
kept ahoat, baling out the scud that broke
over us, and warding off the ice with boat
hooks.
At three o'clock the tide was high
enough for US to scale the ice cliff. One
by one, we pulled up the boats upon mar.
row shelf, the whole sixteen Of US uniting
at each pull. We were too much worn
down to unload; but deep and narrow
gorge opened in the cliffs almost at the spot
where we clombered up; and, as we pushed
the boats into 1t on an even keel, the rocks
seemed to close above our heads, until an
abrupt turn in the course of the ravine placed
protecting cliff between US and the gale
We were completely encaved.
Just as we had brought in the last boat
the Red Eric, and were snoring her uF
with blocks of ice, long unused but famil'
lar and unmstakable sound started and
gladdened every ear, and flock of elders
flecking the sky for moment passed swift
ly in front of us. We knew that we mus
be at their breeding grounds; and, as We
turned in wet and hungry to our lonG
coveted sleep, it was only to dream Of egg;
and abundance.
We remained almost three days in ou
crystal retreot, gathering eggs at the rat
of twelve hundred a day. Outside, th
storm ragged without intermisson, and ou
egg hunters found it difficult to keep thei
feet; but a merrier set of gorma nds thai
were gathered within, never surfeted gen
ial diet.

likely on the increase. Whether the race
is increasing or diminishing throughout the
world, there is no means of asceftaining.-
Ifintermarriage has tendency to deteriOra tie
and shorten life, this race ought to have be-
come extinct long since, for as previously re-
marked, the practice is, and always has been,
to marry without regard to relationship
Polygamy, from what we could learn, OBJ.
tains to but limited extent, perhaps from the
circumstance that the men find one wife as
many as they can conveniently support.

She plaintiveiy replied,
With looks so pensive and so sad,
''No sir my mother died"
She choked ere yet the sentence closed,
Her quivering lips the rest
or her affecting story told,
Though all could have guessed.
Her cheeks were fair, her eyes were bright,
Her voice was sweet and mild;
it was, indeed, a melting sight
That poor and shivering child.
With aching heart took her hand,
And to her home we went,
Where all the misery l saw
The hardest heart would melt.
Her father laid on bed of straw,
IN basement dark and drear,
Death was enstamped upon his brow,
And on his cheek tear.
But the whole tale of suffering

Bl. all who have been lead thus far
Will know the rest full well.

With children clothed and fed,
Turn not away the suff'ring poor
Who come to you for bread.
The legacy that Jesus left,
Add to your present store
The sorrowfui and the DISTRESSED,
The much neglected 'poor.'
Whcr wintry blasts around you sweep,
Think of the tale Pve told,
And learn to sweep with those who weep,

SHORT YEARs--AND THEM:

A few short yesrs-and then
The dream OF life will be
Like shadows OF morning cloud,
In its reality!
A few short years-and then
The idols loved the best
Will pass in all their pride away,
As sinks the sun to rest!
A few short years-and then
Our young hearts may be reft
OF ev,ry hope, and find no CLEAN
Of childhood's sunshine left!
A few short years-and then
Impatient of its bliss,
The weary soul shall seek on high
A better home than this!

he loved her as she loved him, and why
