"HISTORY OF SLAVERY"
BY W. LEE CORRIE.

In 1919 the captain of a Dutch sail
ing vessel sold to the Colonist of Vir-
glnla twenty negroes to be employed
IN cultlvating tobacco. These were the
first slaves in America. As their labor
was found profitable large numbers
were afterwards imported. If this i'm
portatlon continued, America wonId
soon be Overrun with negro slaves. so
when the Constitution was framed
lthe constitution of the present United
otates,) an article was inserted which
imposed tax, not exceeding ten dol
lars' on every slave brought into the
United States, but after the year 1908.
none were to be brought in. At first
slave trading was profitable to both the
North and the South, but about the
year 1917, slaves became of very little
value IN the North, but large numbers
were employed in the South in culti-
waiting sugar-cane, tobacco, rice and !
cotton. When Missouri applied for
admission to the Union the question
arose whether it should to free or
slave. Through the efforts of Henry
Clay, it was admitted (1S21) as a slave
state, with the understanding that
slavery should be prohibited north of
parallel 36 degrees 81 minutes and
West of the Mississippi. When Cali
fornia applied for admission 70 the
Union it looked for time as if the
Union would be torn asunder Az
this crisis Henry Clay, brought forth
he compromise of 1S5Owhich proposed
n reference to slavery: That Cali {
ornla should come in as free State {
! That the territories of Utah and I
New Mexico should be formed without I
NY reference TO slavery: 3. That slave a
rade De prohibited in the District of B
Columbia. 4. That fugitive slave f
aw should be enacted, which provided o
or the return to their owners OF slaves C
scaping to free State. This compro- b
use stopped the excitement only for a +

THE MODERN FARMER.
'O'is Reasons Why The Modern Agrlcultur.

AN experienced banker in one of the

ABLY slight exaggeration, but it was
a very excellent illustration of the die
ference between the old farmer and
tne farmer of to-day. There are a
great many farmers, of course who
are downright poor, but the poorest of
them have a freedom, healthfulness
ana an independence which are nm
known to the very poor in the centres
OF population. They may be in debit

A French Dog Story,

The Gaulois tells the following story
Of an intelligent French poodle: IA
blind beggar was in the habit some
years since Of frequenting the Pont des
SITS. Peres, where he used to station him
self with clarinet and an intelligent
poodle. The place was we'll chosen, and
charitable contributions poured into the
little wooden bowl which the dog held
in his mouth. One day the blind man,
who had reached an advanced age, was
not to be seen. He had fallen ill, in
fact, and was unable to pursue his avo-
cation. His faithful companion, how
ever, continued to frequent the accus-
toned spot, and the passers by to whom
he was familiar understood that his
master was unwell, and, touched by the
dogs fidelity, dropped their pence into
his bowl in Increased numbers. After a
time the beggar died, an event which
the willy poodle kept carefully to him
self until he also became an absentee
from the Pont des SITS. Peres. His dis
appearance produced great sensation
among his numerous clientele, and
search was prosecuted, when the poor
animal was found lying dead in Gel
lar near his former masters s abode,
sum of 10000 francs in bonds of the
Orleans railway being discovered under
the litter on which he was stretched
