The Colored People.
" "We have ttie Greeks at home."
The colored people are of great
importance. We do not duly ap}>reciate
tlieir importance, in the
aniilv. State, and Church. Our
tempers often blind our judgments
upon tliis subject.
Tlie relation between them and
ourselves has been cruelljr, unjustly,
sinfully ruptured. What should
have been tho work of years, has
been done in an instant?they
were unprepared for it, and so
were we. It lias worked wrath,
evil in every respect. It has inlured
them and ourselves. They
have been deluded and estranged
from us ; and we, smarting under
our wrongs, have cast them, to a
great extent, out of our confidence
and regards. Bnt we cannot do
without them, and they cannot do
without ns. They are 111 our families,
and they cannot be there as
heathen. The malaria of the heathen
world would breed pestilence
the most deadly; it would be
insupportable. Theft, falsehood,
unchastity, every blight of superstition,
would fasten on ns. We
must have them in our families,
nnd we cannot havo them but as
Christians. We have no choice;
necessity is laid on ns, and woe to
?8 if we neglect their religious
culture.
Our families will catch the con
tagion of their ignoranco, viciousticsa,
and fanaticism, and be burnt
tip in one general conflagration, as
the beautiful and magnificent city
<>f Columbia was by the ruffian
hand of a cruel warrior.
They are in the State, and will,
to a great extent, remain; and
they have now great power to do
evil: and if disregarded and led
to hostile influences, will, like
Samson, bury us and thcmsvlves
in one common ruin.
The beet pclioc* the best judiciary,
the best legislature the State
can have, Is a pure gospel preach4*1
everywhere to its people, white
and colored. Chancellor Johnson
often said to the writer of this:
The best police we have is the
ministers or the jeospel." The Judiciary,
the Legislature, the Executive,
could do nothing in regulating
And restraining a heathen
population,?a pagan people.
There must be a moral element,
and that one of power and purity,
or free governments perish and a
worse than military despotism
takes their place. We must, as
good citizens, be np and doing, or
soon we will pass trom our present
very bad to a still worse civil condition.
But the colored people, like the
rest of the world, have been bought
by the blood of Christ, and to
them the gospel must be preachod:
and we who have been born
ana raised with them are the persons
especially and providentially
called to this work. Their present
estrangement, their prejudices,
their demoralization, their delu*
sions as to their trne friends; our
own mortifications and wrongs,
and the ingratitude we have been
treated with by many?all constitute
barriers in our way.
Hat no harrier is insurmount
aUe where Qod goes before us.?
If tlie white Christians ot every
name and denomination?if all our
white cburclwes would look after
them, be kind to them, teach them
ot Christ, anon flmt wmihl lift, nnr
heavy tordens, illuminate our
darkness, and we should be a liappr
and proaperuas people; for
Uod't smile would be onr light
and life. E. T. if.

The London Spectator, in some
speculations on the change* that
may possibly occur in the next
half century in consequence of
new discoveries, regards emigration
as one of the things which is
quite as likely to be affected as
any other. Should a new impetus
be given to this the consequences

The writer says:
"Suppose it true, as so many
men ot mark in science believe,
that the next great step may be
in sea going steamers, that international
communication may Ik?
accelerated, as internal cotnmnni
cation lias been, that we may yet
see New York brought within two
days journey of Liverpool, the
probability is that in ten years
every social condition now existing
in Europe would have ceased
to exist; thai the millions who toil
for others, and on whose toil modern
society is built, would choose
to 'oil for themselves, would precipitate
themselves in a rusli to
which all the movements of mankind
have been trifles upon the
New World. Suppose the population
of Britain and Germany
reduced to 10,000,000 each?a
change less in magnitude than that
f which has occurred in many conntries?and
those 10,000,000 only
retained by advantages as great as
the New World could offer, what
would all the changes of the past
half century be to that ? This may
, happen, even without nnv anniim.
t ion of Stephenson's great idea, the
ono idea he never worked ont, that
if engineer?, instead of trying to
increase the power applicable to
dtiving ships, were to reduce the
friction which retards Bhips, the
world would speedily be one great
parish. This writer, who has seen
many countries and lived among
ninny races, seriously believes that
of all the dangers to which Europe
and European society are exposed
none is so formidable as the passion
for emigration, seriously
doubts whether, it education
1 spreads in Europe, it will be possible
to retain its population cooped
up in their narrow and half exliausted
corner of the world. Wo
tlmtk, we English, that we know
what emigration is ; but we know
nothing about it; have no idea of
the changes it would involve it
aided bv the whole force of the
masses tiien in possession of the
sujweme political power. Suppose
those five-sixths of Englishmen
who now work for others
choose to go elsewhere and work
for themselves. The change be
tween Waterloo and Sadowa would
be very slight compared with the
ehangtf between 1863 and 1818,
and there is not a sensible man in
England who will declare that
alteration beyond the reach of
thought. Why should not emigration
in England and Germany at
fnin tll? lioiitlit It tioo roanliiul in
Ireland, and the mosses insist on
aiding it through tlie national
fleets ? The .Irish would, if they
had the jiower, and the British
have this year the power conferred
on them. We say nothing of a
discovery which, if it is ever made,
will remould all human society,
slowly pulverize all differences
among nations, fusing the world
into one people, and immediately
destroy all existing political arrangements?the
discovery of a
means of maintaining and guiding
a* raft ten feet or so in the air, for
we cannot resist a totally unreasonable
impression that the discovery
will not be made, that progress
will not, in onr time, make that
astounding lead. Apart altogether
from that, there are physical forces
now at work strong enoncli to
change the whole face of the "world
by whiffing its population."
East to Thy.?It is said that a
small piece of resin, dipped in the
water which is placed in a vessel
in the stove, will add a peculiar
property to the atmosphere of the
room, which will give great relief

The heat of the water is sufficient
to throw off the aroma of reein.

Du Chaillu
Furnishes another Gorilla story. He
says:
44 We had corae to country where
we knew that gorillas wero sure to be
found, for tbere grew a pulpy peer
shaped fruit, the tonda, of which the
animal ie very focd. It growa almost
upon a level with the ground, and is ol
a splendid red color. Not only were
gorillas food of the tonda, but I myeetl
likpd it very much, as did also the ne<
groea. I am very focd of the subdued
and grateful aciJ of tbia fruit. The
kind that growa on tbe sandy prairie*
of the sea shore is not fit to eat. Many
and many times I wou'd have starved
in tbe forest without tonda.
We were not mistaken, for we found
everywhere gorilla marks and now and
then we could see tbe huge footprint!
of some old monster, which probably
would have come and offered us bailie
if he had been near at band ; at othei
places we saw where they had seated
themselves and been eating the tonda
At another place near a little stream
we discovered that a female gorilla and
her baby had been drinking; for 1
could see the tinv fee: of the little one

laouen hnd detected something, hat

the cau^e of it.
We were so excited that our breath
ing was Icud and distinctly audible.
We at once cooked our guns, fur wi
heard the moving of branches jus
ahead of us, when to I the forest re
aounded with the terrific roar of thi
gorilla which made the very earth fair
ly shake under our f.-et. As soon at
the gnrifia saw us he stood up, and bes
his chest with his powerful hands unti

a demon, and he opened his mouth an?

i A Good Garden. ?
Now is the proper time to lay the *

cannot be dispensed with. A good

' The general practice is to hasten the

ing it. Some gardens, we Rdmit, re- ^
' ceive a fair allowanca of manure, but ^
1 by being improperly worked in the
. ground it causes the crop to be hasten- ?
ckJ to its destruction whenever the dry

quantity of manure has been worked in
the grOund to tbe depth of eighteen in

? soil, the result would be entirely differ- ^

cotton. If you do not look closely afer
your bands, it trill cost you a good
leal more than that. Now, every acre
cultivated, that will not yield crops
vorth at least the above amounts, will
tot only be no profit, but run in debt.
Larger crops still are required to obtain
t profit on bired lalor. Lands, then,
which will not yield such crops we
nust let rest, or manure them suffi?

east half of our poorest soils hitherto
levoted to corn and cotton, should he

vital little capi'Hl we have left, if for
every acre on which we can make a net
