Tho Boston Slave Pirates one Hundre d
Years ago.

1t is interesting to contrast the ethical
Boston of to-day, with the slave trading
Boston of one hundred years back, as
portrayed in their newspapers. The Bos-
ton Post Boy and Advertiser for Septem-
Der 18th, l763, contains the following
ssBy gentleman who arrived here
few days ago from the coast of Africa, we
are informed of the arrivals of Captains
Morris, Ferguson, and Vickham, of this
port, who write very discouraging accounts
Of the trade upon the coast; and that up
wards of two hundred gallons of real rum
had been given for slaves per head, and
scarcely to be got at any rate for that
commodity. This must be sensibly felt
by this poor and distressed Government,
the inhabitants whereof being very large
adventurers in the trade, having sent and
about sending upwards of twenty sail of
vessels, computed to carry in the whole
about nine thousand hogsheads of rum,
quantity much too large for the places on
the coast, where that commodity has gen.
orally been vended We hear that many
vessels are also gone from the neighbor
ing Governments, likewise from Barba-
does, from which place large cargo of
rum had arrived before our informant left
the coast, of which they gave two hundred
and seventy gallons for prime slave. :"
On this paragraph DR.. Dabney well
remarks: "When it is remembered that
the Massachusetts, ports were then small
towns, the fact that they had more than
twenty ships simultaneously engaged in
the trade to the Guinea coast alone, clear
ly reveals that it was the leading branch
Of their maritime adventure, and main
source of their wealth. The ingenious
lament of the printer over the increasing
cost of "a prime slave" gives us the cor
rect clue to the change in their views con.
cerning the propriety of the trade. Wher
the negro rose in value to two hundred
gallons "ef real rum" (the sable slav'
hunters were becoming as cute as Brothe
Jonathan himself, touching the adulter
ated article), the conscience of the hol,
adventurer began to be disturbed abou
the righteousness of the traffic. Whel
the slaves cost two hundred and fifty gal
Ions, the scruples became troublesome
and when his price mounted up toward
three hundred, by reasons of the impru
dence of the naughty man with. his larg
cargo, from Barbados, the stings of con
science became intolerable. By the prin
cples of that religion which 'supposet
that gain is godliness,' the trade was no.
become clearly wrong"

LEARNING TO WALK.
Only beginning the journey, M
Many mile TO go;
Litiie feet, how they patter,
Wandering to and fro.
Trying again, so bravely,
Laughing in baby glee;
Hiding its face in mothers lap,
Proud as baby can be.
Talking the oldest language
Ever before was heard;
But mother--you'd hardly think So
Understands every word.
Tottering now, and falling,
Eyes that are going to cry:
Kisses and plenty of love words,
Willing again to try.
Father of all, oh guide them
The pattering little feet
While they are treading the uphill road,
Braving the dust and heat.
Aid them when they grow weary,
Keep them in pathways best,
And when the journeys ended,
Saviour, oh give them rest.
