Gold.

There is good reason for believing that gold
was the first metal with which man became ac-
qualnted. Its peculiar properties render it the
best for the purpose of being worked by prim-
tive people. Gold is the only metal which is
found in q metallic state, such as we see it used in
the arts and manufactures. The process of ex-
tracing all other metal from their matrix or ore,
is so tedious and difficult that without gold it is
probable our toretathers wolld have had no met
ais at all to use. We who live at this period Of
the worlds history can well believe how little
advancement could be made in civilization with
out metal of some kind. Now these qualities
which we recognize as metallic in the highest de-
gree are possessed by gold, and it is thus we see
even in this single instance, proof of the Crea-
tors wisdom, the adaptation of a means to an end
Gold, the most easily worked of all met lis, the
most mpershable, the most brilliant and attrac.
tive, was the first that was given to man. No
other metal could have served the purpose so well
as the one we lind him possessed OF. No wonder
gold is typfed 10 the scriptures as the purest
metal no wonder that it was chosen as the
means Tin the shape of coin) of representing the
products of labor, that man should select what
age after age has proved to be the most fitting
thing for this purpose AS an assurance TO US
that the supply Of gold shall be adequate to our
wants, this metal has been found in the ratio of
the increase of the human family. 1t is diffused
over The whole earth, and has acted as stimulus
to man to visit regions previously unoultivated.
The wids Of Australia and California have thus
been peopled in our day in the same way that the
Spaniards peopled South America years ago

they ceased to be colonies of England, without
perceiving that in the birth of that great repub.
llc there were sown the Seeds il not of its disso-
luton, at least OF its extreme peril; and the in
fant government In its cradle might be said to
have been rocked under the shadow of the cypress,
the symbol of mortality and the tomb. (Cheers.)
Colonial weakness, when face to face with British
strength, made it impossible for America to put
an end to slavery or to establish republic free
from slavery. (Hear) To meet England il was
necessary to be united, and to be united it was
nece ssary to tolerate slavery and from that hour
to this, at least to within the last two or three
years-the love OF the Union the patriotism of
the American people, have induced them con-
stantly to make concessions to slavery, because
they knew that when they ceased to make these
concessions, they ran the peril of that disruption
which has now arrived, and they dreaded the de-
strucuon OF their country even more than they
hated the evil OF slavery. (Hear hear) But
those concesslons-as concessions to evil | be-
lieve always do fall-those concessions have fail
ed to secure safety to the Union There were prin-
clples at war which were wholly irreconcilable
Inc South, as you know, for fifty years have been
engaged In building up fresh ramparts, by which
they might defend the institution, and the con-
tct could not be distant, and it was obviously in
eyitable. Ia our day that winch the statesmen
of America had hoped permanently to postpone,
has arrived. (Hear, hear.) The great trial is
now going on in sight of the world, and the YER
dict on this great question mast at last be rem
dered. But how much is at stake ? Some men
in this country-some writers talk of it as if, af-
ter all, it was no great matter that had caused
this contest in the United States. / say that the
whole continent is at stake. (Cheers.) 1t is not q
question OF bound ry it is no question of tariff
it is not question of the supremacy of party
it is not question even of the condition of tour
millions of negroes. 1t is more than that. 1t is
question of whole continent, with its teemiEg
millions, and Of what shall be their present and
future fate. loud cheers) 1t is for these mil
lions, and among them, question of freedom or
slavery, of education or ignorance, of light or
darkness, Of Christian morality, ever widening and
all-bIessng in its influence, or an overshadowng
and alLblasting guilt. (Cheers.)

The Power against which the Government
has to contend.

The Reader, London literary journal, con-
tains review of Professor Cairnes SLave
PoOer, In which the writer, in describing the
nature of the power which is now seeking the
destruction of the American Government, uses
the following unmistakable language -
" 1t is then truly slave-pover which the
world has to face-the evil might which
springs from slavery. Not mere landed ar
istocracy or oIigarchy, not an aristocracy or
oIigarchy Of wealth, nor both combined. Not
mere slave.holdIng aristocracy or oligarchy.
Not even a body OF slave holders banded to-
gether in self defence against revolted slaves.
1t is all this, and more besides 1t is body
OF men, call them aristocracy or olgarchy as
you please, who, because they are slave hold
ers, bind themselves togetheriu State, the
very freedom of which consists in holding 9th.
ers,in bondage who do this knowingly deib-
erately, Bible in hand, under invocation Of
God-applying to their own devils work the
very terms made sacred in Holy Writ to the
Redeemer of mankind-as thing to last, as
, setting an example to all time; who true to
themselves and to their corner stone, succeed
in carrying on gigantic war, not only with
but trifing amount of internal slave insur-
rectlon, but to great extent by means of
slavery itself-the slave tilling the ground,
whilst the master maintains slavery in the
field"

of twelve years, when young law student
agreed with him that if he would catch and
put out his horse for given length of time.
he might ride his horse to see his friends
at thanksgiving. So they made the bargain,
In the same spring there was beautiful lamb
born, and sporting on the hills near by. When
thanksgiving had arrived, and young Nathan.
the boy, was mounted for his journey, his
friend the student, calls to him, sa,
"' Nathan, have you any money to spend

es sir, | have three nine penny pieces
The student knew that be had been yerv
faithful, and handed him silver dollar. Ma.
than took it, surprised, glad, wondering How
large 1T looked He had never been so rich
before How carefully he put it in his pocket.
and how often he let the horse walk that he
might thrust his hand in his pocket and feel
of it, and turn it over, and then take it out
and look at it What should he do with it 2
At last he thought Of the beautiful lamb. and
determined to buy it. And buy it he did. But
he had no home and no place to keep il, and
so he tied string around its neck and led Ito
an honest man, who took it, and agreed to
give him half the increase. For Just torty
years he held on to his sheep, letting them
out here and there to people who wanted them
Then he found how he could increase his nron-
erty if he had his sheep in money. The little
lamb had increased TO one thousand and siiz-
ty Jour and he sold them for fifteen Auu.
dred and ninety six dollars , From that time
his property increased very fast. He is now.

done much Tor the college besides - '. 9'"

eat, or to drink, OR to smoke, how different
might have been his whole life How much
