In this view they are supported by the papers of the "Commiaionera at Sierra Leone," Her majes ty's CommiseUry Judge at the Havana, 11. M Commissioners Judge at Rio, and at oUnr places. Great expectations were raised, that the com. biued exertions of the British, American, and French squadrous employed on the coast of Africa for the suppression of the slave-trade, would have proved enectual for that purpose, Had facts been taken into account, those ex expectations - pectations expectations would never have been indulg-,1 The American squadron can only rapture vessels actually engaged in the alave-trtde bearing the United States flag. Ths French squadron is restricted to the capture of vessels bearing the French or the British flag. If a fleet of slavers covered by other fl egt were to tail into their midst, they could not be captured. It is the British squadron alone that can capture the vessels of all nations the American excluded by virtue of tht treaties which this country has with them, giving her tha right to do to. Referring to this point. Commodore Jones, in hit Reports to the admiralty, says, "The French cruisers do not appear to have made a tingle capture." a "The American squadron employed on this station baa ratio one ctoturo."

Eut Snow-white would ait at home with her mother, and help her to put the cot tage in order, or read to her when there was no work to do. "The two little children loved one another dearly, and wheuere laey walked out togeUier mey always went hand in band. Fomrtimes Saow-whlle would say, ' Rose-red, we will not leave one another: And Rose-red would an swer, No, never so long as we live. Then their mother would add, And mind, whatever one of you han, the other must always share.'

And when now-white and Rose-red ookeil around thev saw that thev bad be.-u sleeping close to a deep pit, and would certainly have fallen into it if they had only gone a step farther in the dark.

"Snow-white and Kose-rd kept their motli motli-et's - et's motli-et's little cottage so clean aud new I, tliat it was truly a pleasure to peep into It. Iu the summer hose-red took care of the house, and everv merniag before her mother was awike she gath gathered - ered gathered a nosegay, aud placed it on a little table be before - fore before her bed; and in the nosegay there was al always - ways always a rose from each of the t,"&. In the winter Snow-white rot un esrlv. lighted the fire, and hung the kettle on; and the copper kettle shone like gold, it was scoured so bright. Of an evening, when the snow fell fast, their mother would say, 'Go, Snow-white, and bolt the door.' Then they sat round the hearth, and the good woman put on her spect.tcles, and read aloud out of a large book, whilst the two l;lt!f girls sat by, and listened W they spun. At their feet lay a pet lamb on the ground, and behind thtru ait a pretty white dove trpon a perch, with its head tucked under its wing. One evening, as thev were all sitting snuglv together, they heard a knock at the door, as if some one wanted to come in. So their mother id, 'Quick, Rose-red, up! 1 darn say it is some poor man who wants to hud a shelter. Hose-red ran and unbolted the door; but intend of mm she saw a huge bear stretching hi' shiiggy black head in at the doer Ruse-red shrieked With fright, and rau back, the lamb bleated, the dove flapped its wings aud flew from the pereh, and Snow-while hid herself behind her mother's bed. But the bear growled in a friendlv-tone, and said. ' IVn't he afraid, I will not hurt yon; I am half frozen, and only want to warm myself a little bv your fire.,' Ah ! you poor bear, said the good woman, 'lie down by the lire; only take care that yon do not burn vour coat.' Then the called out, 'Snow-white: kose-red! come out, come out! tho bear will not hart you he is an honest beast, and means well.' Then they took courage and drew near er to the hearth; and little by little the lumband the dove also approached, and recovered from their fright. And the bear said, 'Come, chil children, - dren, children, beat the snow little from my fur.' So they fetched a broom and swept his coat clean; and then the bear stretched himself ont before the tire and gave a friendly growl, as much as to nay how comfortable he was. In a short tune they were all at their case. and the children even began to play tricks with their shaggy gaest: they twitched his rough coat, jumped upon his back, and rolled him aboat backwards and forwards. Then they took a hazel switch, and began to flog him playfully; and every time be growled they langhed out- , . nt. i 1 1 I i ,i rigni- ine near was very wen pieasni; oiuv when the fun went a little too fir, he growled, ' Leave me a little life, children! Snow-white and Rose-red, Would you strike your lover dead ? "When it was time to go to rest, and the children were tucked into bed, the good woman said to the bear: I nthee, stay where yon are on the hearth, and yon will be sheltered from the cold weather.' "la the morning before sunrise the children let the bear out of the cottage, and awny h trotted through the snow into the wood. From that day forwards the bear cthne every evening at a certain hoar, stretched himself ont upon the hearth, and allowed the children to play their pranks with him to their hearts' content. Indeed, they got to be such friends, that the door was never bolted in an evening until their shaggy playfellow had made his appearance. VY nen tne spring whs come, anu every uiing out of doors began to be green, the bear said one morning to Snow-white, I mast go away and leave you, and shall not return the whole sum summer - mer summer long.' 'Whither are yon going, my dear bear?' asked Snow-white. ' I must go into the wood," replied the bear, 'and guard my trea sures from the wicked dwarfs, la winter, when the earth is frozen hard, they live underground, and cannot work their way through; but now that the sun has thawed and warmed the ground, they break through and come to light, pry about and steal what they can. Whatever they have once f ot Into their hands, and stored awayln their caves underground, does not easily come to lurht anin. " Snow-white waa very sad to lose her friend, and unfastened the bolt for him with a sigh ; and when the bear had squeezed through the door. he remained hanging on the latch, aa if loin to go, and his akin was torn. Snow-white fancied aha saw something like gold flittering through the fur; but the could aot be quite sura, as the bear ran quickly off, and was soon lost to sight among the trees. "One day the good woman sent her children into the wood to pick up sticks. There they found a large tree cut down and lying oa the ground; andupon the trunk of the tree, amongst the long grass, they saw something jumping up and down, bat they could not make out what it was. When they came nearer, however, they saw a little dwarf with an eld shrivelled fare and a snow-white beard a yard long. The end of hit beard was wedged fast la the cleft of the tree: and tha dwarf waa skipping about and about like a little dog a rope, aot knowing how to help himself out of his trouble.

If they .- us honest, conscientious, kind and fcrbearing, a slrong influence will be exert ed i pun them to produce virtues resembling these which they sec in us it, on the other rand, the master is Bern to lie grasping and unscrupulous, the servant will imitate his selfish example, disregarding, as far ns he can do so with impunity, his master's inter interest, - est, interest, and seeking only his own ease. o. Masters are bound to exercise vatietue trtrards the faults and infirmities of tfuir t(rrwJ. lVopci effects will do much to wards remedying the manifold imperfections f servants but much will remain irrem- niecliable. Patience, then, becomes an im portant duty in our intercourse with them a duty in which we often lamentably fail. Vrnut me to suggest a few considerations, which, duly weighed, would saUsfy ns all dial we should exercise, in our dealings with them, a degree of patience far beyond what we usually exhibit. 1st. We are ourselves very far frow pcrfecuon and is it reasonable to expect our servants to be bet ter than ourselves : W e need the forbear ance and indulgence of our fellow men to. wards our own weaknesses and frailties, and should we not grant to others whtit we claim largely for ourselves? And how poorly and despicably do we serve God, who has far stronger claims on our services dian we have on diose of our fellow men. Ought we not to exercise towards our ser servants - vants servants something like that patience which oar heavenly master is daily exercising to wards us, who fail in our duty with so much stronger motives inducing us to fulfil it ? 2d. The indulgence of impatience and ill ill-humor - humor ill-humor effect no useful purpose. All ex ex-perienre - perienre ex-perienre teaches that those who are fretful, dissatisfied, and fault-finding are not as well served as those who are even-tempered, kind and forlicaring. S. Ihe indulgence oi these feelings effectually destroys our own peace. Just so far as we permit ourselves to be irritated and vexed, we permit our selves to be made wretched and surely it is most unwise to indulge in any disposition which will place our happiness completely at the mercv of our dependents. Many ; , r.L-..!. persons thus become tne victims oi uieiouiia of the se rvants. 1. The comfort of all around us is impaired by our yielding to lh.5se feelings, bolomon strongly express I he annnvnrire nrndiicod bv an impatient and fault-finding temper, when he says "it is bettei to dwell in the corner of a house house-ton, - ton, house-ton, than with a brawliruT woman in a wide hmidr.

Impatience ana nettulness deleat their own object. F requent eludings not only wear away the sensiouuies ot a sen-ant and render him callous to all rebuke but they excite i spirit of defiance and a disposition to annoy. b. The scriptures expressly forbid the in indulgence - dulgence indulgence of imjmtient, harsh, and fretful feelings towards our servants "and ye inas- tcrs do the same things unto them, forbear, ing threatening, knowing that vour inastei 1. . . j so is in heaven, ami there is no respect of persons wan linn.
