Besides Edward, there were two brothers and
a sister. younger than himself. who. fortunately,
did not survive long enough to become either
lady or gentleman."
Three years after the conversation recorded
above. Edvvatd entered the sopltouiore class at
Cambridge. His manners were polished, his
address winning, his talents ofa high order.
After six weeks he was the most popttiar of his
class. both with the faculty and his class mates;
while many young gentlemen oftlie upper class
sought his acquaintance. His associates were
amongthe wealtltiest in college; his good nature,
geritlemauly air, irresistible wit, and high stand-
ing in his class, rendered ltissocieiy universally
sought after.
Tlte first year, his bills were paid by fhis
fatltcr. and be was allowed fifty dollars tliiriog

to pttrcliase -a few books, stating that ‘ business
was dull, his profits small, and that it was more
expensive at college than be supposed it would
be." And aftertwo pages ofadvice in relation to
the necessityof preserving his standing as a gen-
tletnan, he wound up with the suggestion ‘that
as he could not afford to pay suclt large bills any
longer. be itad best work the rest of his way
through college by keeping school dnrirtg the-
vacations.’ A bank note for twenty dollars was
inclosed, with the ititimatiori that ‘ he must expect
but little more assistance from ltim, as he had
his two brothers and sisters to educate; that be
was getting old and times were ltard.’

LIBERIA A5 HT KS.
It. is now sixteen years since the first settle-
iitent of Lihcriti was tssttzblisltnti on Cape Mesa-
rado. In 1821 the Al1l€rl'.‘itn COl0l'liZtii0n So-
ciety puroiizised a part of tho I:«‘l.'tl)l.l of Sl1et'l7t)-
ro, distant about 120 miles frorn Cape M-=siir:i—
do, and diiritsg that year and the fbllcztttiitg a
vigrort‘.-tis, but iticff.-ctuul L'lIlJl‘l. was made to plant
a colony tttorc. The treachery of the natives,
the iusaliibrity of the climate. and a series of
nielanclto y disztstt-‘rs finally couipellcd its rtb:ttt-
domitent, and the society directed its rrttentioti
°to the more eligible scite titctttiettstl above:
where, in J82’), after :1 pro‘tt-ricted .'iog'oti.'.ttiott, it
purchase was made, and ti for:-ltle band of enti-
graitts took possession.
As my object at present is not. to trace tltc
progt'ess of the colony tltrottglt its various for-
tunes, I shttll reserve for an-otitor article an ac-
count of the many trials and difficzulties,
as well its the manly daring and heroic acltiew:
ments with which its history is frttuglitz, and
come at once to the Ltrigltt. gricttite of its pres-
ent condition and prospects. Liberia (stretch-
ing along 300 miles of the coast, and extt nding
from 10 to 40miles iul:titd,) now nutubers four
separate colonies, viz:
MONROVIA, Csltlllllr-‘llE‘tl by the At'Ilt'I'lCtzn Colo-
nization Society, itteludes the towtis of l‘doiiro-
via, New Georgia, Caldwell, Millsburgh, and
Marslittll.
BASSA Cove, GSf.'JlJliSl1(‘(l by the Urtited (Join-
nization Societies of New York and Pennsyl-
vania’. This colony includes Basso Cove and
Edinu. The latter villiage was founded by the
Anti-ricrtn Coloitizotioti Society, and lately
cetletl to the United societies.
GREENVILLE, csttiblisltetl by the Mi.=sissi;:pi
and Lonisianii. Colortiztttiort societies at Siuou.
l\lAitvL.tND, establislted by the Iiluryland Colo-
nization society at Cape Pailmas.
In the nine villages eniimeratcd above, there
is it population of about 5000*—all of course
colored persons—rtf which 3,500 are emigrants
from ti-is country, and the remainder itatives of
Africa, mostly youth. who ltttv" ct-me into the
colonies to lcartt *Mttriczt fasli,’ and mztkotftern-
selves ‘wltite men,’ by cottf'orn'.~ing to the liab-
its of civiliztttiott and becoming’ subject to our
laws.
The commerce of_‘ the coloniteg though in its
infancy. is alre.id_y «xtcnsive. From $125,000
to $150,000 is exported anttuttliy in camwood,
ivory, palm oil, and hides; and an equal or
grcateratnoittit of the ln«'1IlUlie'!(.'-lU’l'(‘S and pro-
ductions of Europe and Atttci-tea are brought. in-
t.o the colonies in return. Monrovia, which is
the largest. town and principal seaport, carries
on a cotisitlerztblc cotistittg trade, by means of
small vessels bttilt and owttcd by her own citi-
zens. Not less than 12 or 15 of these, averti-
giug from 10 to 30 tons burden, manned and
iiavigiited by tltc colonists, are constttiitly en
gttged in 8 profitable trr-.do along 700 rules of
the coast.
The harbor of Monrovia is seldom clear of
foreign vessels; ittoretlttin 70 of which, from
the United Sttttes, Euglaotl France, Sweden,
Portugal and Denmark. touch there annuzilly.
Basso Cove and Cape Palmas have both good
ltarbors, and possess great: atlvaritages for corn-
ntcrcc. Already their tvaters are gluddened by
tlto frequent presence of traders from ether
-countries, and in a few yen rs, when the hand of
enterprise shall have developed the riclt mines
of wealth which nature has so aburulantly provi-
ded there, these growing towns will become the
centres of an extensive and important. business.
Since, too, possesses an vxcellcntltarbor, and
is the natural outlet of‘ a vast tract of rich and
productive country. Under the fostering hand
of its enterprising founders, it. must soon be-
come on important liitk iii the great: martttime
chain of Americo—African establisltmcnts. The
productions of the country, which may be rais-
ed in any quantity for exportation, are coffee,
cotton, sugar, rice, indigo. palm oil, together
with the gums, dye»woods, ivory, &c., which
are collected from the forests.-

As tltere are 40 clcrgymett in the colonies, all
the cittirclivs are not. only regularly supplied
with pre chittg, but religious meetings are week-
ly held in ntitity of the native villages. .
About 1000 of the coloaists, or one-fifth of
tlto whole population, are professed Christians,

domic lli$lll.tIll()lt, toward the support of which
they would corttrtbnto lilter:tlly;' though as yet
they are scarcely able to establish one single‘

In some places, as at Basso. Cove, literary
societies are formed for mutual improvement,

are public libraics for the use of the people.

of frequent and regular advertising consist in
tltis: there is at all times a large class of per-

fixed places for. the purcltases of certain necessa-
