Origin 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 Venitiaus purchascdwhito men,
| Christians and others, and sold them to
the Saracens in Sicily and Spain. In
England the Anglo-Saxou nobility sold
their servants as slaves to foreigners
The Portuguese first imported negro
slaves, from Western Africa, into Eu-
rope, in 1149. Spain soon engaged in
the traffic, and negro slaves abounded in
some of the places in that Kingdom
After America was discovered, the In
dians Of llispaniola were imported into
Spain, and made slaves The Spaniards
visited the coast of North America and
kidnapped thousands Of the Indians,
whom they transported into slavery in
Europe and the West Indies. Colum-
bus himself kidnapped five hundred ma
| tive 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 Amer
lea by Spanish Shareholders, who emf
grated with their negroes. A royal
edict Of Spain authorized negro slavery
in America in 1906. King Ferdinand
himself sent from Seville, fifty slaves to
labor in the mines. In 1911 the direct
traffic in slaves between Africa aud His
pauiola was cnjoined by royal ordi-
nance Las Casas, who saw the Indians
vanish away before the crueltics Of the
Spauiards, suggested that the negroes,
who alone could endure severe tolls,
might be further employed. This was
in 1918.
Sir John Hawkins was the FIRST Eng
lishman that engaged in the slave trade.
In 1862 he transported largo cargo Of
Africans to Ills PAMELA. In 1867 an
other expedition was prepared, aud
Queen Elizabeth protected it and shared

expeditions, set FIRE to an African city.

Throughout Massachusetts,, the cry Of
justice was raised against them as male

were committed for the offence, and the
representatives Of the people ordered
the negroes 10 be restored to their native

later period, there were both Indian and

THE BLESSED HAND.

There Is a legend of an English Monk, VIII
died at the Monastery Of Aromberg, where h
had copied and illuminated many books, hoping
TO be rewarded in Heaven. Long after bt
death his tomb was opened, and nothing eoul'
be seen Of his remains but the right hand, viii
which be had done his pious work, and whicl
had been miraculously preserved from decay
For you and me, who love the light
OF Gods uncloistcrcd day,
1t we're indeed dr. AIRY lot7
To shut ourselves away
From every glad and sunny thing,
And pleasant sight and sound,
And pass, from out silent cell,
Into the silent ground.
Not so the good monk, Ansclm, thought,
For. in his cloister's shade,
The cheerful faith that lit his heart
Iis own sweet sunshine made
And in its glow he prayed and wrote,
From maiin-song iill even,
And trusted, IN the Book Of life,
To read his name In Heaven.
What holy books his gentle art
Filled fall Of SANITY lore
What pages. Frightened BY bis hand,
The splendid missals borel
What blossoms, almost fragrant, tWined
Around each blcsscd name,
And how his saviour, cross and crown
