should be set away in clean pans, which can
be made of eartl,en ware or tin.

THE POETRY OF COMMERCE.

The Hon. Edward Evcr,t., whose bril-.
Liant genius gives golden tinge of poetry
to everything it touches, thus speaks of
commerce in his late beautiful speech Mt
the Peabody testimonial
"Track its history for moment from
the earliest period. IN the infancy Of the
world its caravans, like gigantic silk-wornas,
went creeping through the arid wastes of
Asia and Africa with their infinitcsimal
legs. aud boNpd the human family together
III those vast regions rs they blvd it TO-
gether now. Its colonial establishments
scattered the Grccian culture all around the
shores Of the Mediterranean, and carried
the adventures Of Tyre and Carthage TO the
North of Europe and the South Of Africa.
The walled cities Of the middle ages pre-
vented tlis arts and refinement of life from
being tra,npled out of existence under the
iron heel of tho fe,,dal powers. The
l1ans- Towns were the bulwarl Of liberty
and property in the north and west Of Eu-
rope for ages. The germ Of the rcpresen-
satives system srrang from the municipal
franchises Of the boroughs. At the revival
of letters the merchant princes of Florence
received the fugitive arts of Greece into
their palaces. The spirit of comcrcial adj
venture produced that movement in the
fifteenth century which carried Columbus
to America and Vasco di CANA around the
Cape of Good Hope. The deep founda-
tions of the modern system Of International
law were laid in interests and rights of com.
merce, and the necessity Of protecting thcyn.
Commerce sprinkled the treasures of
tho newly found 1ndias throughout tie
Western nations; it ncrvcd the arm Of
civil and religious liberty in the Protestant
world-it gradually carried the colonial
system of Europe 10 the ends of tile earth,
and with it the elements of future indepen-
dent, civilized republican governments
But why should we dwell OH the past -
What is it that gives vigor to the civliza-
ton OF the present day, but the worldwide
extension of commercial intercourse, by
which all the products Of the earth and of
the ocean, Of the soil, the mine of the
loom, of the forge, Of bonnteous nature,
creative art avd antiring industry, are
brought by the agencies Of commerce into
the universal market of demand and sup
r!ys No matter in what region desirable
product is bestowed on man by liberal
Providence, or fabricated by human skill;
it may clothe tile hills Of China with its
fragrant foliage; it may glitter in the
golden saBds OF California it may wallow
in sha depths Of the Arctic seas; it may
ripen and whiten in tue fertile plains of the
sunny South it may spring forth from the
flying shutties of Manchester in England.
or Manchester in An,erca-the great world
magnate of commerce attracts it alike, and
gathers it all up for the service Of man."
