The Gospel of Business.


The editor of the paper published at
Wakefield, Rhode Island, essays an edi.
torial on this subject which is worthy
of consideration. The following truth
ful words ought to be printed in letters
of living gold, and pasted in every mans
hat:
While the secular element in every
sermon might perhaps be regarded as
excessive, yet the assignment to it of a
more common and prominent place in
the pulpit would not be amiss These
outstanding accounts are ruinous things,
both morally and financially. Had the
Gospel Of Business been thoroughly
preached and practiced we had escaped
the slough of bankruptcy in which we
are now Aoundering. But we can con-
ceive that a minister who should preach
the whole Gospel, as it bears upon secu-
lar affairs, upon debt and credit, capital
and labor, work and wages, and usury,
speculation, bonds, mortgages, collater-
ais, securities and consignmGnts; in a
word, upon the perpendicular right and
wrong Of trade and business of every
kind, would be immensely unpopular
both with the money-making and money
spending part of the community, But
nothing is more needed than such an
application of the Gospel to the praoti-
cal affairs of life, and that, too, in the
actual details Of trade and finance, and
business interchanges Of every kind
A ministry that in these matters would
lay judgment to the line, and righte-
BUSINESS to the plummet--that would
preach a Gospel of stringent honesty
between man and man, would do an i'm
portant but neglected part Of the work
of an evangelist.

sorigin of Slavery.

Mr.. Bancroft, in the first volume Of
his History of the United States, gives
an account of the early traffic Of the
Europeans in slaves. In the middle
ages the Venotiaus purchased white
men, Christians and others, and sold
them to the Saracens in Sicily and
Spain. In England the Anglo-Saxon
nobility sold their servants as slaves to
foreigners. The Portuguese first inn
ported negro slaves, from Western Af-
RIGA into Europe, in 1442. Spain soon
engaged in the traffic, and negro slaves
abounded in some of the places in that
kingdom. After America was discover
ed, the Indians of Hispaniola we're i'm
/ ported into Spain and made slaves. The
| lSpaniards visited the coast of North
America, and kidnapped thousands of
the Indians, whom they transported
into slavery in Europe and the West
Indies. Columbus himself kidnapped
500 native Americans, and sent them
into Spain, that they might be publicly
sold at Seville. The practice Of selling
North American Indians into foreign
bondage continued for two centuries
Negro slavery was first introduced into
America by Spanish Shareholders, who
emigrated with their negroes. a royal
edict of Spain authorized negro slavery
in America in 1913. King Ferdinand
himself sent from Seville fifty slaves tC
labor in the mines. In 1881 the direct
traffic in slaves between Africa and
Hispaniola was njoined by a royal or,
dinance. Las Casas, who saw the In.
dams vanishing away before the cruel
ties of the Spaniards, suggested that Tho
negroes, who alone could endure severe
tolls, might be further employed. This
was in 1913.
Sir John Hawkins was the first Eng
| lishman that engaged in the slave-trade
In 1862 he transported a large carg,
of Africans to Hispaniola. In 1861
IanOther expedition was prepared, anI
! Queen Elizabeth protected and share,
in tho traffic. Hawkins, in one Of hi
Expeditions, set fire to an African city
and out of three thousand inhabitants
succeeded in seizing two hundred AM
sixty James Smith, of Boston, ant
Thomas Keyser, first brought the colo
nies to participate in slavery. In 1Gj
they imported a cargo of negroes
Throughout Massachusetts, the cry ot
justice was raised against them as male
factors and murderers; the guilty mel
we're committed for the offence, and tn
representatives of the people ordere
the negroes to be restored to their m
tive country at the public expense. A
later period there were both Indial
and negro slaves in Massachusetts,. Il

and landed twenty negroes for sale
This was the epoch of the introduction
of slavery in Virginia. For many year

The richest quartz vein in the State
is that of Allison's Rancho, which is
believed to be the richest gold mine in
the world. The first sixty-three tons
of quartz from this vein produced 1922

miners was opened in October 1856
The yield during the ensuing two years
was estimated at S1,5OO,OOO. Eight
thousand tons Of the rock have been
crushed which has yielded $500 per
ton. Street & Soulsby's claim, in Tuo-

UNDER THE VIOLETs.

This beautiful poem is from tho conclusion
II o. W. Holmes Professor at the Break
asst Table," I'm the Atlantic"
Her hands are cold, her face is white,
No more her pulses come and goi
Her eyes are shut TO life and light
Fold the white vesturp, snO y on suowJ
And lay her where the violets grow
But not beneath craven stone,
To plead for tears with allen eyes;
A slender cross Of wood, alone,
Shall say, that here a maiden lies
Inpeace, beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees, OF hugest limb,
Shall wheel their circlng shadows round
To make tho scorchiug sunlight dim,
That drinks the greennass from The ground
And drop their dead leaves on her mound
When DER the boughs the sou irrels run,
And lhro' their leaves the robbins ull,
And, ripeuiug i'm the autumn sun,
The Hcorns and the Chestuuts fall,
Doubt not that she will heed them all.
For her the morning choir shall sing
It's mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice Of spring,
That trills beneath the Apri sky,
Shall greet her with It's earliest cry.
Whom, turning round their dial.track,
Eastward the lenglhening shadows pass,
Her little mourners, clad In black,
The crickets sliding thrO' the grass
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
AZ last the rootlots Of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize,
In leaves and blossoms, TO the skies
So may the soul that warmed il rise!
If any, horn Of kindier blood,
Should ask, What maiden lies belowl
Say only this-A tender bud,
That tried TO blossom I'm the snow,
Lies witbered where the yiolets blow.
