Buckle has *elusively establisrietitliat to
understand properly the s history of the world'
or even of a single- nation, it is "necessary to
study the mental peCullarities • and manifesta
tions of its components. Science treats of the
physical phenomena; history, of the mental.
The laws governing both are deducible from
the collective experiences and observations of
its students,' and froth such ell'ectS as s ist the
course of varied transmutations, are left indeli
bly impressed upon the tablets of the past:
Scientific observerri having to deal chiefly
with certain discovered ithuustable principles
(manifesting themselves, it is true, through di
verse and: domplex combinations), have
been Onahled so to systematize and arrange,
that Comparative accuracy has been attained.
Not aomith mental students.. Though there
are dontitleSS vast underlyhig laws 'governing
the manifestations of. mind, such has been the
carelessness or inability of those engaged in its
stntlylhat these have refrained, as yet, buried
in oblivion. Hence, though enough is known
to faddy the close observer that mind is eon
.
trolled ,
its development by as :rigid laws as
thoseamerating purely with physical forces, the
period of thoSe Comprehensive generalisations
that ;stall snake knoWsi and define them is yet
to come:
So 4aStis the toil and so incapable the toiler,
aealith us he necessarily must with what is
part Of hisindividuality, swayed by the power
of the very laws he strives to comprehend, that
it is no:great wonder that satisfactory elucida
tion has not been completed. Just as the
traveler is unable to attain any one point
from 'which he can encompass the entire earth,
so is it impossible to grasp the extended range
of mental topography. Now high upon some
dizzy height, the adventurous climber catches
forufeW brief moments a breadth of vision •
that almost startles him with its extent' ; then,.
deep in some secluded valley, he scarcely com
prehends the view. that shuts him in.
So' intimately blended are physical and
mental manifestations that the latter cannot
be fully understood unless in connection with
the former ; that is to say— , -mind being' only
able to manifest itself through physical organs,
that are constantly under the operation of
physkallaws, is consequently more or less in
fluenced thereby. No exalted traits of thought
can be - Snstained continuously for any lengthy
period, from the sheer want of physical en
durance. Thns s in prder to discover and un
derstand the laws governing mind, it is of par
amount importance to be thoroughly ac
quainted with those governing matter.
Within the lireits of an introduction of this
nature, to attempt to illustrate by familiar ex
ample the intimate relations existing between
these two sets of laws, and draw from, thence
the legitimate conclusions, would be impos
sible. :To hint at rather than to develop—to
suggest rather than to propound a theory—is
the object of this paper.
Geology .teaches, through those who can
read its rock-written tomes, that there was a
time when. ast animal monstrosities reamed
at will through giant forests whose undets
brush equalled in size our oaks; that the con
vulsive throes of a teeming world upset moun
tains,' displaced oceans, buried vast tracts of
luxurious vegetation in one mighty ruin; that
from these , chaotic revellings a higher grade
of beings sprtuig into life; that these in turn
were overwhelmed to make room for an im
proved order of things. ThuS was our earth
through much tribulation fitted to receive its
crowning inhabitant; 'Masi: The Creator,hav
lug finished the details of this grand under
taking,seerris to have delegated to His creature
the work from Which He rested. Mind, wadi
festing itself through matter, now first assumes
control, and, though slowly and ignorantly,
still, starts upon the duty to which it was as
signed. '
Froth the beginning the world, both naturally
and Mentally, has been improving; there has
been 'a
gradual tendency towards perfection.
The bin& and rigorous elements are softening;
the tough edges are becoming worn away—
the jagged - points toned down.
On the continent of Europe, where now
clamber' in' rich luxuriance the "gladdening
vines, hung with &Wing ClusterS that Make
merry the:heart s the darklyinterlaced branches
of the bleak Hercynian forest shut out the
light of day. : Cold and drear were the winds
that moaned through its darksoine arches.
The howl of the wolf was heard where now
the perfuMed breezes fan the cheekti of rtuldy
maidens who sing as they tread the wine
press. -
The constant - change in the Isothermal lines
seems to indicate a tendency to equalize the
temperature. Who can tell that future gene
rations-win:net enjoy conditions of climate we
dream not of?
Thus with mind. The tendency is , toward
perfection. Great convulsions have occurred in
the mental as well as in the physical synrld,and
the consemiences base ultimately been the es
tablishment of a superior order of things. The
mental night during the middle ages might ap
propriately be compared with the sterile, dark
ness of the Hercyniari liirest. As the growth
SiiPerStitibils ignorance was uprooted, the
operation of new lawsproduced vastly bene
ficial results. The Protestant Reformation
swept away vast tracts of gloom and admitted
the 'genial influences 0f,.. the sunlight of truth.
A striking proof of this general tendency may
be had in the study of the French and .English
intellect from the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries.
The history of the Scotch intellect—so pain
ful in itself, yet at the same time so full of in
struction—is but another proof. The harsh and
repulsive manifestations are gradually becom
ing softened to something like an endin able
temper.
It .is almost impossible for us Who, from
the pinnacle of the nineteenth century,look at
the mental picture spread out, to conceive of,
its absolute reality. Yet is not indignation
wasted in condemning the manifestations of
the intellect of that time as much as if employed
in inveighing against the natural world for its
tardy advancement?
The grand aim of thinkers should he to
search after that knowledge, which, by dispell
ing the gloom of ignorance, tends towards the
amelioration of the condition of mankind. As
the laws governing mind and matter come to
be fully comprehended, the union of the
knowledge thus obtained will doubtless result
in more radical .advancement than we are at
present capable of conceiving.

WIRE SLAVE MARKET IN ZANZIBAR.
A writer in :11/winbers's Journal says :
"The most Curious feature and characteristic
of Zanzibar is its slave market. There are gene
rally two sales a day, at which many'hundreds
of unhappy wretches are bought and sold.. Let
us take a peep at this mart of Marian flesh and
blood. Leaving, then, the busier portion of
the town, you pass up a long and quieter.
street, where fruit shops, tailors' and black
smiths' stalls do most abound; passiiig
by ninny a queer-looking mosque and an
cient 'temple, you come at length to a
short lane, which leads directly into the
market. It is a large unpaved square, situated
in the rear of the principal houses, its other
three sides composed of shabby lints, some of,
which' are used 'for examining any . particular
slave before making the purchase. The first
sale is generally most crowded. The centre
and largest portion of the square is filled with
the slaves, who—their chains removed—are
seated in rows on the ground; and although
they have received a full meal of shark and
rice, to cause them to look cheery, . appear
about as happy as a flock of sheep newly :re
suscitated after spending three 'weeks beneath
the snow in a Itigliland glen. '
"Walking about among these, looking in
their mouths, digging their ribs, talking with
and generally criticising them, is a band of
the strangest, .wildest; and withal most roman.:
tic-looking men I O'er witnessed outside Drury
Lane Theatie. Therlire — for the most part
Arabs—gentlemen Arabs, they style themselves
—and the term is by no means often misarr
plied. Tall, handsome fellows they .are too,
and of all colors, from the pale white - face of
the Persian to that of the black and savage
African. They are dressed in flowing robe of
white cotton, bound with scarlet or blue braid,
reaching to the calf of. the leg, and begirt
with a beautiful broad belt, richly • gilt and
studded with gems. From this depends the
straight Arab sword—a right deadly weapon
in practised hands—and one or two
silver
mounted pistols, besides a jewelled dagger or
dirk. Over this dress is loosely anti negligently
worn a large flowing cloak of camel's hair,
green, black oi- brown, sometimes even yellow.
The head is either shaven or the hair flows
down to the waist in dark and glossy ringlets.
'pie head is bound with a gilded turban, while
sandals adorn Ins feet; and grasping in his
-right hand a tall.spear, and dangling on his left
arm a small round shield, studded with silver
nails, there, in all his pomp 'and pride, struts
sour f 2 entleman Arab.
"Of These gentlemen,', most ,of whom have
come from Araby the Blest and the rosy shores
of Persia, many are decidedly good-looking.
Old and young, they are for the most part well
formed and strong, and would make very fine
soldiers. Indeed, soldieme they are; although
on their own account; and a strange, eventful
life they lead, with their hand against every
man and rice 'verso. Yet, although some 6f
the oldest ate venerable and reverend-looking,
reminding one of the pictures of the Patriarchs
by Dori, still the majority are very Shylocks;
and, if cunning links in one eye—and there is'
no mistake about it—the very devil gleams
from under the white and bushy eyebrow of
the other: They are for the most part
captains and owners of northern dhows, and,
although preferring peace, thefare willing, for
their cargo's sake, to fight to the* death.
" But . the sale has commenced.. Look at
that brute—that black fiend in human shape,
himself a slave once, but raised to the dignity
of slave-driver, auctioneer and skipper of a
miserable dhow, because inherently cruel !
Mark how he seizes yon poor young trembling
slave from her hus))and's'side,and drags her by
'the arni'swiftly thintigli .the crowd, catching
the sound of the bids' and repeating them in
his own barbarous dialect as he rushes' on:
:‘ Two 'dollar and a half! Two dollar and a
half! Three dollar-I Three dollar I No
more! Three dollar-! - Three dollar and a
half! Four! Four and a half!' And mark
—without emotion, you can—the pitying,
bewildered -' glance 'of her hus
band's eye - as it, follows his , poor
wife through the market. , The pelele
has been ruthlessly torn . from her lip, and the
rings from her ears, and she bows, her head
and weeps, as, with her disengaged hand, she
modestly endeavors to cover her breast with
the blue rag—her wily clothing—which the
huriying wretch has. disarranged. - 'Her hus
band is thinking perhaps of their home far
away in the quiet forest, and of the nut-brown
maiden be wooed there not so long ago. But
she is Sold, and hurriedly dashed into the arms
of the buyer; and another, and another, and
still another are seized, to go through the same
process. The husband and wife, and many
husbands and wives, will ,see no more of each
other, in this world at least; and young and
old, male and female, arc dragged about, and
still the sale goes briskly on.
"The drivers or auctioneers—stmirdy swarthy
blacks, dressed, apparently, 'in guano-bags,.
with a short knife in the girdle, often In their
'limy come into collision with each other;
then dreadful oaths and imprecations are
heard, blows are struck and blood Shed,' till the
gentlemen Arabs' ruSli in, and with the butte
of their spears belabor and separate the foamy
mouthed combatants. The slaves are now
rapidly changing hands. Every Arab merchant
is forming' his- own gang; chains are being
slipped oft again; amid, two and two, they stand
piepated for the march. The din and hustle
gradually subside, and soon the square is all
but deserted. Buyers and the bought are for
a time separated; and while the former are
regaling themselves on fruit amid sherbet, pre
paratory to dining in gorgeous rooms and
gilded saloons, the 'latter are treated worse
than sheep, and left to pass the - night in loath
some dens, slimy with damp, ,and filled with
such creeping abominations as a Zanzibar
dungeon only can prodnee.
"But there is one corner of the slave-market
which deserves a little attention. This is an
out-of-the-way nook, set apart—start not, dear
civilized reader—for the exclusive disposal or
vendition of the 'fairest of the fair.' '0 Nanny,
wilt thou gang me?' is by no means the
motto of a gentlenian Arab; and because the
number of ladies in his harem is the criterion
of his rank, just as the number of horses or
hounds may be of a line old English gentle

many as he, can, decently maintain. -- 1 would
