Social Institutions In Ashantee.

The social institutions Of Aslantee bear
strong resemblance to those which exist in other
pa1ts OF Af4ica. Slavery therefore, holds
prominent position among them. Slaves arc
mado in o variety OF ways Prisoners OF var. II
uotexecutcd, become slaves. Misconduct and debt
are fruitful SOURCES Of slavery. But from these
causes many are slaves only for time man
nav purge himself from Ills misconduct, or free
himself from debt, and then he 's no longer
slave. But with the Ashautees there ls system
of pawning of liberty. Nor money, or for an ad-
vance OF merchandise, r man may pawn his wife
and children, or himself. And these pawns aro
virtually slaves until they are redeemed. Bat
tue greater number OF slaves have been brought
from tho interior By tho slaye-nerchants, who
are mostly Mohammedans. Tney are procured
in the first instance in the usual way. Tiibe
wars with tribe and the captives are sold to the
merchants; or the merchants themselves make
war on their own account, for the sole purpose
OF getting slaves. At Ashantco, where gold is
plentiful, where tho very streets OF Cooma9sle
arc said TO be imprcguated With tho precious
metal, 4 ready market ls found for eiaves- II
has become tho fashion With the great men OF
the tribe to multiply slaves 30 that it is not un-
common for ono man to own more than q thou
sand. But slavery with them is not 30 degrading
as with moro civilized people. Sometlmes it ia
merely nominal; and for the most part the
slaves are simply regarded as descendants.
masters retinue and follow him to
war. In, no case does slavery besr
the opprobrium in Africa = that IS,
among the Afacans-that it does in other parts
OF tho world. The distinction between master
and slave is not 80 broad. OF course, there arc
African masters who are cruel :; but the instances
are rare, and, where they exist. cruelty is re-
strained by tho same auperstitious dread OF
witchcraft which keeps the King in check.
Polygamy ia another popular institution with
the Asnautees Az a man il raised in the scale
OF Ashantee society, SO does the nunber OF bis
wives increase. Tie gulf which separates tho
least from the greatest may be estimated By the
fact that, where ono wife is permitted to
slave, the King may. have 1888. Beyond that

permit L11n to 20. This limitation, wide.
though it be, is an improvement npon the
custom Of some other tribes that s5e more in in

Hereditary Drunkenness.

Not more pitiful are the approaches
of madness than are the well under
stood symptoms which signify to
the hereditary drunkard the hour of
his inherited passion. l knew in
Texas a young man who was heir to
such a woeful heritage. He was
physically, one of the handsomest
of men, and possessed of great and
varied talents, which he had carful-
ly cultivated. Moreover, he had
served his country with distinguish
ed bravery, and was then holding a
high position of trust and honor
But with regularity that is terrible,
there came to him-no matter
where he was over his ledger, in the
church, by the side of the victim he
loved-a craving for brandy that po-
sessed him like demon, and drove
him forth from among his fellows.
With set lips and despairing face he
would deliver to friend the KEYS
of his office and betake himself to his
"OIl-hoC rs men go TO q carOuSal,
but as they go to meet a fearful
reckoning-and for two or three
days drink In sullen silence till the
craving was appeased. Some one was
one day praising, in his presence,
his vast stores of acquired informa-
ton and his delicate fancy as an ar
tist. "Yet l shall die like brute"
he said sadly; and the despairihg
look of hunted animal came into
his eyes as he added: @My father
died drunk-my mother-.God forgive
her!-my grandfather shot himself
IN dellrlun tremens-you know,
boys, how poor Patrick died-it will
be the same with me-" His prophe-
cy was soon fulfilled.

of powerful remedies, he had recovered Ia
his present condition, with his body par
TALLY paralyzed, and his mind wholly
wreck. All these years Elizabeth had been
lntiring in her devotion TO his comfort.
She had spent many lays without one mo-
ment of leisure except the hour in which
her father slept-thc time all filled up
with petty cares, in ministerigg to wants
which were most of them imaginary-the
result of restless craving for change.
When she had exhausted herself in this
manner, her father was not satisfied, buI
complained of suffering and privation, as
if he was the only one who needed sym
pathy. AT such times, no wonder the
murmuring thought would force itself up
on Elizabeth, that she was friitering her
life away to no purpose; that her mind
was running to waste, that her physical
powers were constantly overtasked, with
out the qualification of pleasing the OBJ
ject for whom all these sacrifices were
made
Every day the same wearisome round
of duties with no hope of change. The
iuture stretched out before her a CHEEKY
desert, now and then it is true through
the clouds which surrounded its eye
caught glimpse offs farther side Of the
shining walls of that city which was to
the end of her journey and then her
courage revived and she blamed herself
for brooding 50 much over the present
aflictions. She remembered she had not
chosen her own lot but it had been ap-
pointed by Infinite wisdom it was not for
her TO undertake the importance of the
part assigned to her, or murmur at lis
honorous duties. She had enlisted under
The captain of her salvation not to desert

she complain If the path he chose led
through fiery trials and much tri6ulatiOns.
she knew he saw that it was the safest
most direct road 10 the final victory
Strengthened by such reflections as these,
she went on day by day, meekly taking
up her heavy cross and walking so far
about the heads of US ordinary mortals
in her sublime selfabnrgalion that she
seemed like a being of another sphere.
The atmosphere which surrounded her
was so hushed and passionless that you
felt that no earthly emotion could dis
lurb is perfect peace She had attained
to such an altitude in the Christian way
that we thought she must be nearing the
Celestial City so il proved. After twelve
years of such weary lite, as have de-
scribed her father died and then her
overtasked strength gave way and she
sank rapidly what mattered it, she had
been faithful unto the end, her life-work
was accomplished and why should she
tarry longer here ? She was ready to go
where some months later the summons
came, she received it with unutterable
Joy. Her death made but small Vacan-
cy IN this world, only a few friends
knew and appreciated her virtues, but /
know she entered Heaven under a weight
of glory. I know the King himself well

A COUNTRY SABBATH.

Now scars the lark in Heavens eyes:
Through leafy crypt now steals the
stream,
With swallow dimple, sword blade
CLEAN,
And glimses of divine surprise.
Heavens golden air and fire are blue
And dropped about the bowery world /;
Within her holy bosom lurled
The sun has drunk the roses dew.
The landscape all around is fair,
But this remains the heart and gem;
With stealing stream, and graceful
stem,
And sunlit park and sweet parterre.
The vista fascinates my gaze
llnger in blessed trancr,
See IN a dream the waters glance,
And things that are the food of praise.
In many an English cottage round
Japonica, glory, glows;
Her ruby -cOlored sister blows;
And purple pansies gem the ground.
The first laburnum droops her curls,
And mingles with the lilac locks
The orchard blossom types sweet girls
The sweet brier sheds its heavenly breath;
l pass The wall-f0wers sweet perfume !;
And chestnut with lis tint freaked
plume;
o world TO banIsh dreams of death.
The scent of flower, the song of bird,
The lace of leaf, the light OF heaven,
Are vital with Il mystic leaven
We have soul for, not word.
Unless it be-the breath of God;
Which also breaths in your church-bell;
1t breaks nn me- with what spell
Across the May ay-emhrDidered sodl
Earth clothed with Sabbath thou are fair
Yetwo upon each other act !
The Sabbath sleeps the hOwery tract,
And finer seems TO make The air.
