answered by the facts narrated below.
The Slave Trade in New York.
It has often been said that the slave
trade was still carried on in New York,
bat as the charge has been of a vague and
general character, it tas attracted little at
tention. We are beginning to got lijtht

A cotcmporary says if we would get rich
we must not carry pass-books. Credit is
the tempter in a new shape. Buy dry
goods on trust, and you will purchase a
thousand articles that Cash would never
have dreamed of. A dollar in the band
looks larger than ten dollars through the
perspective of a sixty day due bill. Cash
is practical, while Credit takes hortlbly to

Edward Jenner.
A terrible disease had for ages afflicted
the world. As early as the tenth century,
Rliazes, a physician of Bagdad, in Persia,
wrote an account of its nature and fatal
consequences. Throughout India and Ara
bia it was even earlier looked upon with
horror : gradually it spread towards tbe
West ; Kussia, Germany, France, Spain,
and England, in turn, knew by sad expe
rience its fearful power. It crossed tbe
broad Atlantic with the Spaniards to Pern;
it filled the beautiful cities of Guatamala
and Mexico with mourning and woe. Tbe
savages of North America fell " like leaves
of the forest" before its silent but deadly
stroke. Strong men and little children
alike became its victims ; and tbe castle of
the noble and the hovel of tbe peasant
were eqally subject to its call. It did not
come like tbe plague, after long years of
absence, but it was always in the different
countries a universal scourge and terror.
When once stricken, the sufferer generally
lingered for eight or nine days, an object
of disgust and dread to thos-e about him,
but recovery was almost unknown. This
circumstance, together with its fearfully
contagions power, Lad made tbe smallpox
an object of fear to all, while at the same
time it had excited the intense interest and '
dose study of many eminent medical men.
juawara jenner was me son oi an r.ng-
Itah clergyman, who died when bis little
boy was scarcely five years old. The eld
est brother, Rev. Stephen Jenner, took the
child to his home, and watched over him
with all a father's love. It bad been the
good minister's earnest wish that Edward
should be educated a physician, and there
fore, after a few years at boarding-school,
he was placed with Mr. Ludlow, a surgeon
in s neighboring town, that he might ear
ly become familiar with the names and na
ture of medicines. At twenty years of
age be went to London, and for two years
was under the instruction of the celebrated
John Hunter. By bis careful and diligent
study, be won tbe affection of his teacher,
who through all bis after career proved a
warm friend.
Having completed his studies, and being
pronounced competent to minister to the
sick and suffering among his fellow-men,
he removed to Berkeley, bis native place,
where he commenced the practice of his
profession, though only twenty-three. His
learning, success, and kindness of manner,
soon made him popular, and his visits were
nexterld'cd to a large circuit of country.
Cases of atnall-pox often came tthder bis
care, and caused bim much anxious tbo't.
While a young boy, be bad overheard a
womau remark, that "she eouldu't have
the small pox, because sh(5 had had the
kinc-pox." The incident was never for
gotten. Years afterwards he called to
mind that no instance of the disease bad
occurred among the dairymen of the neigh
borhood ; while the kine-pox, similar in
nature, but seldom fatal in its results, was
common among tbem. ine Kinc-pox, as
. ,. ., , .. ! imperfect iJca of tbo numbers of these
indicates, prevailed among cattle, . r -,

however much exposed to it.
From this be formed the idea of produ
cing the lighter sickness in each individu
al in tbe community, by ad easy process
called vaccination; thus preserving tbem
from the deadly influence of small-pox,
and limiting, if not entirely suppressing,
its fearful ravages.
It was in 1776 tbat he commenced bis
investigations, but such was the Ignorance
snd riBerstitioB of tie onm prle, '
on unnoticed and almost unknown. His
statements in the public journals and news
papers were considered as the day-dreams
of an idle, fanciful man, and tbe only at
tention shown them was ridicule and con
tempt Bnt genius, aided by patient industry,
at last triumphed. In 1798 he publiahcd
bis celebrated work, entitled, " An Inqui
ry into tbe Cause and Effects of Kine-pox,"
which is now found in almost every physi
cian's library, and is considered one of the
best ever written on tbe subject. Atten
tion was gradually called to tbe matter,
and after some hesitation bis plan was
adopted in the ho.pitals and other public
establishments of Europe and America.
England delayed longest to jit Id its sanc
tion to the great discovery, but Dr. Jeuncr
lived to see bis hopes realized, and bis
fellow-men freed from one fearful destroy-
er. or a few years public honors were'
heaped upon bim, but at the age of seven-j
ty-four, in January, 1823, be was glad toj
lay them all aside and g3 to his long rest, j
A man who in any degree relieves the
sufferings of mankind is a public benefac-1
tor, and the name of Dr. Edward Jenner
will be one of the most honored.

Doa't Stay Long.
"Don't stay long.husband" said a young
wife tenderly, in my presence one evening,
as her husband was preparing to go out.
The words themselves were insignificant,
but the look of melting fondness with
which they were accampauicd, spoke vol
umes. It told ail tbe wbole,vaft depths
of a woman's love of her happiness when j
with ber bunbaud, of her grief when the ,
light of her smile, tbe source of all ber
joy, beamed not brightly upon her.
"Don't stay long, husband" and as 1
fancied I saw the loving, gentle wife, sit.

'Don't stay long, husband." And
again I thought I could see the young
wife, rocking herself nervously in tbe great
arm cbair.aud weepine as though hor heart
would break, as her thoughtless "lord and
master" prolonged his stay that wearisome1
length of time. j

You cannot find amid the pleasnres of the
