Zit trodig American Slavery. A PROPHECY BY MRS. HENRIETTA W. BOATS. Written in Europe several years ago in answer to a slave-owner's family, who had invited the authoress to travel in the Southern States.] You tell me of a bright land far over;the sea But ah I can you call it the land of the free? Where the image of God for a handful of gold bike a beast of the field in the market is sold; Where'the child from the mother's fond bosom • is torn ' • Where the father is chained, leaving orphans forlorn; Where the maiden is bartered like merchandize ware, Then doomed to the lash, and the groan of des pair. Wo I wo I to thee fair land far over the main For the canker of death, dark slavery's stain, Shall gnaw to thy vitals, while every sigh From the victims who writhe, mounts for justice on high; And he, the great Lord of the Universe wide, Shall unite thee to earth in thy strength and thy pride, For vengeance must fall for foul cruelties done On the beings redeemed by his own beloved Son. The sound of the war drum shall thrill thee at night, As thy sons and thy brothers are borne to the fight; The slave and the cotton shall stab thee with pain, And the North and the South be divided in twain ; And brothersgainst brothers shall strike in the fight, And battles be fought in the dead of the night, And the white maid and widow in sorrow shall mourn, And the flag of their freedom in tatters be torn. The North in her might like a whirlwind shall rise, And the notes of the cannon be born to the skies, And though the. warm blood of her hordes be shed, The light of her freedom shall never be dead; The stars and the stripes an excelsior shall be; Proud Liberty's banner by land and by sea; And the Union tholgh spurned by the slave hold er's scorn Shall be-guarded by Northman: for ages unborn —Banner of the Covenant. GLEANINGS FROM THE FOREIGN MIS.; SIONARY FIELD, 13 -SUPERSTITION AND MURDER. liEn. 4: 16.—" Let us therefore come boldly unto the—throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." UPON the island of Tongatabu, one of the Friendly Islands in the Pacific- ocean, upon which in late years the preaching of the Gospel has been so blessed of the Lord, there was an old chief very sick and near his end. In this condition he had one of his sons sent for, ostensibly to cut off his little fingers as he ay on his sick bed, but really with the purpose of having him killed. The custom of cutting off the little fingers is very com mon in the South Sea Islands, hence so many people are found deficient in these members. It is done with the idea that the wrath of an evil spirit will be appeased, and the sick person will get well. The son wil lingly obeyed the father'e demand. But as he approached the bed, the servants seized him to strangle him. After a doubtful struggle he was overpowered and sacrificed by the hand of - his own sister, a victim of the most awful superstition. The reason for such an unnatural murder is the delusive be lief that the health and strength of the vic tim will pass over into the sick person for whom he is sacrificed. In this case, how ever, the folly of the idea was manifest; the old man became gradually weaker, and died the next morning. 14-A RAIN-MAKER. Jra. Ft: 22.—" Are there any among the vani ties of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou he () Lord uur God ? whereupon he will wait upon thee, for thou hast made all these things," The missionaries Moffat and Hamilton had to endure hardships of every kind among the Bechuanas - while these people were yet heathen. Their sufferings rose to a still higher degree when, in a prolonged drought in the year 1823, the people sent for a rain maker from the region of the Baharutsis. The weatherwise man delayed his arrival until a wind from the sea. raised up a heavy cloud from - which fierce lightnings and' loud thunders proceeded. The rejoicing of •the people was great, since a few big drops of rain did actually fall. Several now came to the missionaries, and one asked of them scornfully : " Where is your God ?" The missionaries were silent. " Have you," con tinued the scorner, "beheld our migty one, how he hurls fiery darts from the clouds ? You prate of your Jesus—your Jehovah— what can they do ?" While the enemies were thus pouring out their blasphemies upon the teachers, these were revolving in their minds those comforting words from the 4(ith Psalm: "Be still and know that I am God ; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." They were confident of thp clearing up of such seasons of trial : " The Lord of. Hosts is with us ; the God of Jacob is our refuge." The con fidence of the missionaries was not disap pointed. For the rain, expected, and confi dentally promised by the rain -maker, came not. In vain did he seek to lay the blame of this upon the missionaries. The people resolved upon his death, which could only be averted by their intercession. The mission aries were rescued not only from this and further danger, but after long and patient waiting, they had the joy of witnessing in 'the year 1827 a general awakening of the people ; and as early as the month of May, - 1.829, a large house of worship, built by the thankful people, was dedicated to the wor plipip of God. POWER• OF THE SORCERERS. LEv. 10: 31.—" Regard not thew that have familiar Eipiries neither seek after wizards to be de filed by them. lam the Lord your God." As the Shamans among the heathens of Northern Asia, the Samoicts, Eastyacks and Koryacks, so among the Esquimaux of North America, the wizard Angekoks, as they,are called, have the greatest influence. These men prepare themselves very seriously for the exercise of their craft, by fasting and going, alone;then in a state of excitement they have reams, which they tell, as in spired visions, to the people. They are re garded as having great power. The people believe that the earth rests upon props which are old and decayed, and often crack, and would give way utterly were it not that the engekoks mend them. up by their magic. From these sorcerers the Esquimax receive amulets which they think will protect them . from every kind of evil,. and in severe sick nesses a dog is killed as an offering to the evil spirit. Old men frequently come under suspicion of witchcraft, and are killed with clubs or stones, or thrown into the sea. Among the Indians, too, the magicians have great power; next to the chiefs they are the most respectable persons of the tribe. Help is expected from their conjuring in every trouble ; they-must shoot their arrows towards the clouds to procure rain, and must whistle to the wind that the chase may be profitable. They protect themselves and others by amulets against evil spirits. Among the bush negroes of Surinam, the females are the principal instruments through which the prince of darkness communicates his oracles. The smell of intoxicating herbs, dancing and conjuring, are the means they use to obtain their power of witchcraft and prophecy. When under these infl i piences they act as if possessed, and utte their oracular sayings in which the people place absolute confidence and which they impli citly obey. They fear the power of these sourcerers as they believe them able to kill and destroy every living thing. 16---WHEItt AQE§ JESUS LIVE ? Ps. 22: 26.—" The meek shall eat and be satis-_ fled; they shall praise the Lord that seek him." One day the wife of a missionary among the Karen was engaged in teaching a num ber of heathen children in the garden, when a wild-looking boy rushed in through the opening in the 'hedge and asked, "Does Jesus Christ live here ?" "What do you want with Jesus Christ ?" " I want to see him, I want to confess to him," answered the boy. " What than have you done that you need to make confession ?' With . great emphasis he repeated his question : " Does he live here ? That is what I want to know? What have I done ? Why, '-1.. lie, I steal,- I do everything that is bad, and I am afraid of hell. Does he live here ? 0 tell me where I can find Jesus !" The woman told him : "He does not save any from hell ii they go on in their evil ways.'' Th.ereupon the boy : " I would gladly cease from them but I cannot. I don't know how ,I shall ever do it ; wicked thoughts are in me and wicked deeds come from the wicked thoughts; then what shall I do ?" The woman replied; ".You must come -to Christ poor boy as all others must. But you:aannot see him now." Then the youth burst out into a loud cry as if now he had lost everything. The -woman comforted him. "I am his humble friend and follower. He has given me a commission to tell all those who would be saved from hell, how it may be done." "Tell me' that," begged the boy, " 0 tell me that ! Pray your Lord, the. Lord Jesus Christ to save me and I will be your servant, your slave my whole life lonm. Be not cruel, do not send me away ! Ido indeed wish to be saved—to be saved from hell !" Gladly was the boy taken into the mission school when he grew in faith and in knowledge. Truth and grace re moved from his countenance its heathenish wildness and stupidity. Long ago he put on the white robe of Christ's righteousness, and was baptized. IT -WONDERFUL PROVIDENCE. 'TER. : 13.—" And ye shall seek me and find me, when ye shall seareh for me With all your heat , Several .yearsig.. ~.IlaNnahas Shaw was sent by the Weil- 4, + ,Miskonary Society to the Cape of Go. 4 5Hope. When safely arrived, the authorities themselves forbade him expressly to establish a mission. He was in doubt whether to return ot to go to the Hottentots through the wilderness ; the poor health of his wife discouraged him from attempting the latter. But she said : "It seems to me that the Lord has brought us ' here safely because he has determined to send us to the Hottentots.!' "But," answered the missionary, "I have no autho rity to buy wagons and oxen, and hire an interpreter at the expense of the society." "No matter," answered the pious wife, if the society will not assume the outlay, we have a little property in England which we can sell to pay the debt." No .sponer .said than done. They started off,,agii. in a space of four hundred miles they met not &single tribe. At last, one morning, as they Were about to make an early start, that' observed six men lying on the groun del' the shadow of a projecting rock, who,. spent A iii. the night in close proximity to them, with 7 out the knowledge of either party. Shaw approached them with his interpreter: and found they were Hottentots journeying to the Cape ; they had been sent by theagi-ibe for the purpose of seeking a teacher.,of the Christian religion. Shaw thanked GoAfiem the depths of his heart, and told them' he was a teacher seeking for the Ilea ntots and did not know the way. Upon h ring this, the savages fell with their face ' ifi the s i k. ground and made the air resound with their shouts of joy. The missionary awl. his wife also fell on their knees and thanked God for this act of Providential guidance. They then pursued their journey, and safely reached the Hottentot village, where .they were joy fully received. They made a settlement in the place and met with great success in their labors. THE NAME FAITIJ OF A. CHILD. A PARIS paper relates the following touch . ing incident : In one of the narrow streets near the Marche St. Honore resides a poor working family, who have lately been'-laboring under great distress. The wife has been for some time ill, and the husband has just met with an accident which has prevented him from following his usual occupation, so that his family of five children often suffered from hunger. Among the children was a little In telligent girl, who every day attended the charity school, but who has been lately obli ged to stop at home to attend, as best she could, to her little brothers. She had been taught at school that those in distress ought to address themselves to God, and the idea entered her mind that if she sent a letter to God, relief would follow. She therefore got pen, ink, and paper, and wrote the letter, asking for health for her parents, and bread for herself and brothers. Thinking that the poor-box which she had seen in the church of Saint Roch was the letter-box of- God, she took an opportunity of stealing quietly out of the room and running off to the church. While looking round to see that no one was near, an elderly lady noticed her movements, and, thinking she was at some mischief, stop ped her, and inquired what she was doing. After some hesitation, she confessed the ob ject of her visit to the church, and showed the letter. The lady took it, and promised the child that She would take care that it should reach its destination, asking, at the same time, to what address the answer must be sent, which the child gave, and returned home with a light heart. On the following morning, on opening the door of the room, she found a large basket filled with different Aultriutt Astrobttictiitit 6eittort (6rangtliot articles of wearing apparel, sugar, money, etc., the whole packed up with a direction card, on which was written, " _Response d? bon Dieu." Some hours after, a medical man, also, came to give advice. TILE. POPE AT ROME. ~.....- THE readers of the " World" may he in terested in knowing something of the private life of the present Pope. Though in these days he is a very public character, and his reign is likely to mark an epoch in the his tory of politics and religion in Italy, and though as a public administrator he may have much to vex him, yet as an old bache lor at home, he evidently enjoys life, and has a "good time " generally. It must be known as a preliminary, that the private apartments of the Vatican are very beautiful and very rich, overloaded with gold and silk. There are, however, occa sionally seen a few painted wooden chairs, very simple, not to say miserable souvenirs of the apostolical plainness of another age. The same may be said of the Quirinal, Cas• tle Gandolfe, and all other pontifical resi dences. The Pope usually rises at six o'clock in the morning; about seven he says mass in a chapel which joins his sleeping room. The Cardinals and Roman Bishops generally have the same habit. At Rome, when a pre late rents a furnished apartment, he places in a closet a small portable altar, where he says mass. In many of the apartnients now rented to strangers, the remains of these temporary altars and vestiges of 'these masse'S are found. The valets-de-cha,mbre make the responses on these occasions : for the Pope, this valet is a prelate, a priest or a deacon. In the Vatican ,there are ten valets-.dc chambre—the most intimate are classed 'ac cording to age, passing from the eldest to the youngest. Monsignors Stella, de Me rode, Talbot (an Englishman) and Ricci, are the four persons always near him. They keep him company, and amuse him, and make him laugh ; wilich is not a difficult thing, for in private life Pius IX. is, always laughing and happy. At eight o'clock the " holy father" takeS breakfast, which consists of coffee and some very simple accompaniments. At that time Monsignor Stella alone is present ; he .opens the correspondence, reads it or gives a sum mary of it. It is the most private moment of the day. At nine o'clock, breakfast being finished, he reads his private correspondence. Then Cardinal Antonelli comes down from his rooms above and enters the apartment of the Pope ; he is very gentle, very humble, a real treasure,—he addresses the Pope.some times as "holy father," sometimes "most blessed father,"- - he praises the genius of the Pope an his wonderful knowledge of affiiirs ; lie is indeed his . very humble servant. This political conversation, this labor of the king and the minister continues an. hour or two. The valets-de-chirmbre sometimes inter rupt them ; but Antonelli is very kind with them. About half-past ten or eleven, the-recep tions began. The - Pope, dressed in white, sits in a large arm-chair, with a table before hire. He addresses you two or three words in the language 'which. you _speak, if it is FretThh, Italian, or SPanisk; he 'speaks'" little English, but German (the language of Luther) he abhors, and an interpreter is ne cessary. During these receptions, he some times signs requests for indulgencee which are presented to him in writing. Some of these requests are conceived in the most con secrated forms, imploring of him "indul gence- at the moment of death for themselves, their children, and other relatives, to the third generation." The " holy father " cheerfully complies with these requests • he writes at the bottom of the, petition-17'4d Pi,o nono. Since- the late political events some bring him money, and others offer him letters of condolence. He writes' at the bot tom of such letters : Ampleat vos dominus gratia,,benedicat to Deus et Wan?: familiars. . At two o'clock the po'ntificial dinner comes 0ff.... The Pope always dinei alone.. From three till four the Pope sleeps. Everybody in Rome sleeps from three till four.- If ask after a Cardinal at that hour, the reply is—" His eminence sleeps." . The Pope does neither more nor less than other people. At five o'clock he rides out, always With great solemnity, accompanied by the, noble guard on horseback, by valets and Monsignors, and from three bare fingers his benedictions fall in great abundance. About seven the Pope takes supper, and then takes his turn at the billiard-table. At ten o'clock all the lights of the Vatican are mil guished. What a life for the successor (as: he claims to be) of the Apostle Peter! How little of the pure and simple religion of the New Tes tament appears in his daily course ! His pomp and' show and royal state are only sym bols",of iiiespotism..The longer the papal rule continues unchecked, the more debased the populations become. Rome itself is a home field of heathenism .full of ignorance, irreli gion and crime.—E. E. Hall, in Florence Mizcollanieguo, PARALLELISMS OF THE GREAT ENGLISH AND AMERICAN CIVIL WAR. . The pamphlet of Mr. Charles J. Stine, of this city, has been oressential service in en couraging and teaching a free people how to conduct a war that may be long. Ever since its persual, we have wished that some facile pen would trace out the striking riaralleisn3s of the great civil war of England and Ameri ca. Both had their inception in violation of the spirit of the constitution of the respective countries. In resisting tyranny, the patriotic English heart believed that it was defending the liber ties and ancient charters of the land. No reconstruction of government was at first wished, but it was demanded that govern ments should be administered according to well established precedent. At the beginning of the conflict with Charles, zeal, liberality and patriotism were displayed, but there was a lack of unity anil discipline. Regiments were raised by pro ininent men, and their views were often as different as the color of their clothing. Hampden's green coats were united under their leader, as were the Halls red coats, the Lord Brooke's purple, and the Lord Mande ville's blue but they were not always disposed to acknowledge a common leader. During the first year of the war there were: constant chancres in military organization.. First the Earl of Essex was made commander .in-chief of the Parliament forcei. But an impatient populace began to suspect that he was temporizing, did not desire a, victory, and •was. anxious for a compromise. Then the army was divided into several I bodies, by commissions granted unto divers persons as major generals. In the language of a writer of the period : " Eaeh diversity mid alteration taking its rise from an inac quiescency and dissatisfaction with the suc cess of the present, which moved to turn every stone, and to try if by this or that means the desired end might be obtained." Thu first pitched battle with the hot-headed royalists resulted in a repulse of the Parliament forces, very similar to that which the Union, army sustained in their encounter with the high spirited followers of Davis at Dull Run, on July 21st, 1861. The Parliament forces made the advance, and the shoe,k of battle; took place in the " vale of the Red Horse." The fight g Rupert, with his raged furiously until near the close of the blacka t afternoon, o h o o n r ,s horse cavalry,hen the di shin a charge, turned n the flank of his opponents, and routed and pursued them for more than three miles. Night found five thousand dead on the field,- and both sides, exhausted, claimed the vic tory. During the first and second summers, while the Parliament gained, some victories, yet they encountered as many defeats. The quaint chaplain, Joshua Sprigge in his " Journal of Every Day's March of the Parlia ment Army," published in 1647, uses lan -guage which seems to, be the very language of the present hour : "But whatever was the matter, two summers passed over, and we were not saved. Our victories, so gallantly gotten - , were put into a bag with holes; what we won one time we lost another. The trea sure was exhausted, the country wasted a summer's victory proval but a winter's story ; the game set up in winter was to be now play ed again in the spring, and men's hearts fail ed them with the observation of these things. The cause hereof the Parliament was tender of raveling into, only men could not be hin dered from venting their opinions privately and their fears." At this crisis Parliament, under the direc tion of Sir Harry Vane and others, passed a national militia bill, completely recoganizing the army. Essex and Manchester were su perseded, and Thomas Fairfax, son of Lord Fernando Fairfax, one who had served in Holland, was made General-in-chief. Under this act a new spirit was infused, and the third summer was a succession of victories, ending with the siege and surrender of Ox ford, the stronghold of the adherents of Charles. Have we not reason to'hope; in the event of the of the national militia bill, that fresh vigor will be infused into our army, and that the whole people will take spirit again •; that ,a glorious summer will suc ceed the winter of our discontent, and that Richmond will suffer siege, and at last sur render. In the third year pf. England's civil war, Algern - on Sidney inscribed on his standard " Sanctus ainor patria dat omnuni." With such a motto for our watchword, who can doubt that the great rebellion which now distracts us, will perish inthe third summer of its progiess.--Phitadelpida, NoithAMeni -can ENGLAND'S PRO-SLAVERY POLICY EX- PLAINED. And here, with this history beforb- us; it will be interesting, for one moment, to inquire into the cause of the pro-slavery policy of more than one hundred and fifty years; for, if we mistake not, we shall discover in it, one great reason for her sympathy with those who are now- seeking the dismemberment of our nation. England has for several centu ries, been a manufacturing nation, dependent to a great ei'terit upon other countries, both for the supply of the raw material, and for a market for her finished wares. Whenever, then, her citizens emigrated to other lands. and English colonies were there fortned, it was clearly for her interest that their inhab itants Should be mainly engaged in agricul tural pursuits. For, should it be otherwise, should they become a manufacturing people, they would evidently be brought into compe tition with her. Planting colonies would minister to the wealth of England. They would, at the same time, be to her sources of supply, and channels'for disbursement. Man- Ufacturing colonies iiipuld tend to her pover ty. They would leisen the demand for the products of her looms, by furnishing to the market their own goods. But in no way could this end be better, se cured than by the qtablishment in her colo nies of African slavery. Such an institution could hardly exist, save among an-agricultu ral people. The intelligence and industry that successful manufacturing establishments require, are incompatible With labor thatis constrained and uncompe,nsated. A race scarcely half civilized, may, by the lash, be compelled to dig . and to plow, but the task is not so easy when the labor is transferred from the field to the factory. Skilful artisans may, indeed, be occasionally found wearing the chains of slavery, but the instances are rare, and the expeirznent dangerous to con tinued bondage. And, perhaps, we may ven ture without any fear -of contradiction, to as sert that a whole nation of artisans could not be long retained in involuntary servitude. It was, therefore, to constrain the American colonies to become planting colonies, and thus guard her own manufactories from com petition, that England sought so persistently to fill them with negroes. And to the same cause, as we have already intimated, are we in a measure, to attribute England's sympathy in our day, with the great rebellion of the South. New England is a competitor of old England. By the cheapness, beauty and durability of her man ufactured fabrics, she has come to be a dan gerous rival of the old country. Lowell and Lawrence, are- beginnning to stand by the side of Manchester and Stockport, and under the fostering care of a judicious protective tariff, may perhaps in the future race of trade even outrun them. Indeed, as an intelligent Englishman visits the eastern and northern sections of this country, he cannot, we think, fail to be deeply impressed with the, to him, homelike appearance of everything in the commercial life of this nation. In Pittsburg, begrimed witlithe dust and smoke of scores of furnaceg, he sees.his own Birmingham or Glasgow ; Eastern 'Massachusetts, in whose villages and cities the hum of the spindle and the loom 'is almost unbroken, seems to him like a second Lancashire ; and so vast a for of masts as lie along, and stretch out from, the wharYes of New York, he must re member scarce ever to have seen on the. Thames, or the Mersey. But extending his journey to the cotton-growing States of the' South, how different is the aspect of every i.- thina that he beholds ! The picture is now one of contrast, not o f resemblance .. Nothing here in trade indicates any competition with his own country, but, on the contrary, every thing denotes supply and demand. These States are, commercially, the correlative of England. They are planting States. They produce just what she needs to keep her fac tories in motion, and then aids in the con- sumption of her finished fabrics. In her present sympathy, then, with the slaveholding interests of the South, England has only, we contend, been consistent with herself. It was to guard her own manufac tories from competition, that she forced the institution of slavery upon thig land. For this she planted this Upas in ,our country. And it is for this that she would protect and defend it, now that every fibre and leaf is quivering, undek the vigorous blows of freedom.---Dr. Darling's Slavery and the War.
