quently against the first four command
ments.


This effect has been brought about in Ii
IBERIA by doing violence to the disposition of
the negroes; for their child-like disposition
has been suppressed and DESTROYED by the
prohibition Of the most innocent enjoyment
under severe penalties and in this way
they have been deprived Of all moral power
OF their own, or have been misled to hypoc-
risy. Besides, friendly yintercoursea among them
has been destroyed by sectarianism, which
IS as common as it is in the United States of
America. Intolerance of sectarians has
brought 1t to pass that different sects oppose
one another in such a manner as to cause
every member of one sect to shun all COM
munlcation with the members of any other
sect 1T is evident that this exclusiYeness of
religious sects must very materially injnre
the prosperity Of the body polite of the
commonwealth.


The colony of Liberia, founded and form
ed with great expectations in regard to civil
lization, seems to be moving in the opposite
direction, although this course may not ap-
pear openly before half century. Negroes
are neither able or capable of establishing
or maintaining a civilized commonwealth,
whatever form or name it may have. The
negroes in Liberia are and remain the same
as others of their race. They may be COM
PEELED by force to initiate and adopt the out
ward form of the government of another
country; but as soon as that force ceases to |
be exerted they fall back Immediately into |
the state Of barbarity which is natural to
them. The colored people in Liberia are
preparing the way for white people they |
viii leave the scene as soon as they have !
played their part. As the Indians in Ameri- |
ca have disappeared wherever white men
have come SO the negroes in Africa will dis |
appear when white men enter into Africa,
however distant from the present day that
time may be.

Where there flowers and trees with their

To shut out the heat of the sun, Old man,
The heat of the fervid sun?
And how did you cross the waves, old


man,
OF sorrow, the fearful waves?
Did you lay your dear treasures by, one by


one,
With an aching heart and Goods will be


DONE"


Under the wayside dust, old man,
In the graves meath the wayside dustY
There is labor and sorrow for all, old man,
Alasl there is sorrow for all,
And you, peradventure, have had your

For eighty long winters have whitened your

And they've whitened your heart as well,

The one great drawback is the want ofmeans

more than two miles wide, but a hundred
and twenty miles long, bounded on each
side by mountains rising in unbi oxen
sweep from the waters edge, and termi-
mating in sharp and jagged points three
thousand feet high. The mountain-sides
for half their height are clothed with a
dense forest, almost wholly composed Of
a single kind Of tree, the s0mbre-leafed
southern beech. The upper line Of this
forest is well defined, and perfectly horri-
zontal; below, the dropping twigs actually
dip into the sea. Above the forest line
the crags are covered by glttering man.
tie Of perpetual snow, and cascades are
pouring their foaming waters through the
woods into the Channel below In some
places magnificent glaciers extend from
the mountain-side to the waters edge
at is scarcely possible to imagine any
thing more beautiful than the beryl-like
blue Of these glaciers, and especially as
contrasted with the dead white Of the up
per expanse ofsnow.' Heavy and sudden
squalls come down from the ravines, rails
ing the sea, and covering it with foam, like
a dark plain studded with patches of
drifted snow. which the furious wind is
ever lifting in sheets of driving spray. The
albatross with its wide spread wings comes
careering up the Channel against the wind
and screams as IL it were the spirit OF the
storm. The surf breaks fesrfully against
the narrow shores, and mounts to an i'm
mensc height against the rocks. Yonder
is promontory Of blue ice, the sheer emu
Of glacier; the wind and sea are telling
upon it. and now down plunges huge
mass, which breaking into fragments, be-
spreads the angry sea with mimic icebergs.


In the midst Of this war Of the elements,
appear a pair Of sperm-whales. They
swim within stones cast Of the shore,
spouting at intervals, and jumping in their
unwieldy mirth clean out OF the waters,
falling back On their huge sides, and splash
ing the sea high on every hand. with a
sound like the reverberation Of distant
broadside. How appropriate place for
these giants Of the deep TO appear and
how immensely must their presence have
enhanccd the wild grandeur Of that ro-
mantle scene.
