A Burning Shame.
It is most certainly a matter for
profound regret that the Brussels
treaty foT the suppression of the Afri
can slave trails and the traffic in
spirits and firearms should have ueen
defeated in the senate. This defeat
is wholly inexplicable. Two months
ago we directed attention to the fact
that at the last moment Holland had
yielded opposition to the treat, mak
ing unanimous, ns required, the assent
of the seventeen signing powers, and
completing the work of the anti-slav
ery conference, which otherwise
would have gone for nothing. It
now appears that by the action of the
United States senate the whole work
of the conference has been undone;
and so the United States stands be
fore the whole civilized world as the
one great power responsible for con
tinuing the awful rum traffic in Afri
ca and perpetuating the horrors of
the slave trade and the sale of fire
arms to the natives. Did ever a
Christian nation suddenly leap to a
deeper depth, or ever a legislative
body in secret session more stealthily
stab the cause of public morals and
fasten a deadlier stigma upon its own
country? The action of the senate,
had, in executive session, with the
knowledge of the votings of the sen
ators withhold from the public, is
alike cowardly and cruel, and is the
one consummate act to cover that
body with lasting disgrace. Slavery
must he perpetuated, the poor Afri
cans continue to he made the victims
of medford ruin and Kentucky hour-
bon, and fire arms must be sold them
—and all in order that, as the press
despatches stated, “entangling alii
nncee'’ may bo avoided! But if this
action of the senate is not itself an
“entan ling alliance’’ with old satun,
will somebody please rise and tell us
what it is?—Christian at Work.
Prevention the Thing.
While we feel well assured that
thore is little danger that the work of
organized charity will be overdone in
this country in our day, we find some
consolation for our alleged backward
ness in this matter in the considera
tion of some facts and suggestions
that have occurred to our mind. In
this country pauperism is not the
fixed institution, the chronic disease,
that it is in the old world. The do
maud with us for organized charities
has been comparatively small, and it
is therefore uo discredit to us that we
have much to learn in comparison
with a nation wherein one in every
sixty of the population is a pat.per.
In the provision made by us iti state
institutions for the insane, and the
deaf, dumb, and blind, wo have no
reason to fear comparison with older
communities across the Atlantic.
But tho great lesson we ought to
learn, ami then teach to the world, is
the prevention of pauperism. Thore
is such a thing as encouraging it by
mistaken methods of dealing with the
subject. When pauperism is marie
easy pauperism becomes abundant.
Crowd the country with poor-houses,
and you may bo sure they will be
filled.—Nashville Christian Advocate.
William Lloyd Garri ou says: No
earnest woman can embark in any
humane work without having the
truth borne in upon her of the help
less condition of a citizen without a
vote. Put a single profligate qualified
male voter in one scale, and a score
of conscientious, disfranchised women
in the other, and we know which
scale will kick the beam. So every
struggle for the uplifting of the race
which enlists the support of woman is
a sure preparatory school for her com
prehension of equal rights. There is
a fable of a company of beavers who
Consoled themselves ou parting be
cause they' would all meet again in
the hatter's shop. And the unthink
ing women who deride the thought
of voting, and still interest themselves
in social reform, will be certain, to
find themselves, some fine morning,
in the camp of woman snfferage, but
with a wholeness which the beavers
lacked.
Self-conceit is the very daughter of
self-will, and of that loud crying out
about I, and me, and mine, which is
the very bird-call for all devils and
the broad road which leads to death.
—C. Kingsley.
Life is made tip of a multitude of
little things. You will not be judged
by the aggregate, but by the individ
ual items. Keep a watchful eye on
their character. —Christian Advocate.
