AN ESSAY
On the Consanguinity of the Human Race
BY AHTHRoPos IL. " Longbon.)

The consanguinity of the human race,
is topic that cannot fail to interest
every individual man, involving as it
does, his origin, his history, his relation
ship, his surroundings, and his eternal
destiny.
The idea of more than one human
race, is not mooted in our topic. We are
not considering races, but a race, one
race, the human race. What we some
times improperly call different races, are
but grand divisions, or branches of the
same race. Assuming that every human
individual belongs to the race of man, or
the human race, it follows not only that
each division of that race is related to
every other division, but that every indi-
vidual of any one division is related to
every other individual of the same di, l.
sion, and also to every other individual
of every other division. If we admit the
theory of different races of men, we yet
have the relationship of one man to an
other man; SO that whether on the the
ory of different races. or of different di-
visions of the same race, we still have
the relation of man to man, of one indi-
vidual to another.
Our topic then is the consanguinity of
the human race, or of the individuals
composing that race. If this race is one,
its unity implies its consanguinity In
dividuals of the same race, must have
certain relationships, however remote, or
however differing in degree These re-
lationships may be near or remote; di-
rect or indirect; perceptible or impercep-
tible; manifest or hidden If men are
not related to one another, to what are
they related? There are either relation
ships among men, or there are not; if
not, then every man is sui generiS, of a
separate race, an isolated being, having
nothing in common with any other man,
stranger to his parents, an alien to his
brethren, having no affinity for his kind,
no bond of sympathy for any other man,
no kinship with his children, nor any
ties of birth, blood, or otherwise.
For history of our origin, we natu-
rally turn to Holy Writ, as being the on
ly his orcal source from which we derive
any positive statement of our creation

Coming Home.
BY D. N. JORDAN.

How peacefully the sunlight fell,
Across the woodlands pleasant reaches,
And like a shower of giided rain
The leaves dropped from the golden beeches
Far down the shadowy aisles heard
An undertone Of plaintive signing,
As If the waning summer wept
For all her glOTies dead and dying.
The faded banners of the corn,
In murmured whispers told the story
OF days when silken tasSels waved
Beneath the June times summer glory.
And low and sweet with rhythmic beat,
The young birds tried their tender pinions,
r ier soaring from the empty nest,
To seek the summers fair dominions.
The golden rod with dropping plume,
Had lost its aureole of gladneSs;
The staTleSs mullen by the road,
Dropped down its seeds like tears of sadness;
The far OFF hills veiled like bride,
Seemed welded to the sky immortal,
And through the sunsets golden gate,
There flashed the gleam of heavens portal.
peaceful hour, o faith renewed,
That touched the fading ca tn with sweetness
And lifted up my heart in thanks
For life's glad measure of com pleteneSS.
Though dead leaves rustic at my feet,
And all the fields are brown and sober,
The heart may blossom with new hope,
Beneath the gray skies of October.

Mr.. II. X. stevens
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1864. with
Scrofula, which came out in large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg
was swelled more than twice its natural
size. He had several doctors of high
standing in their profession-two from
Boston and three from Charlestown, with
out getting bit better He was obliged
to lie wherever he was placed, for he had
no use of his limbs whatever When we
had given up all hopes of his living we
were told to try Vegetine, the great blood
remedy; and he had taken it but short
time before we could see a great change.
The sores run so bad that we had 10

master of his subject, but master of a in E

with lively interest, affording a PROMISE
