indigo, and sugar-cane, are all the spontaneous
growth of the forests, and may be cultivated at
Measure, to any extent, by such as are disposed.
The same may be said of rice, Indian corn, Gui-
nea corn, millet, and too many species of fruits
and vegetables to be enumerated. Add to all
this that winter is here unknown, the hills and
plains are covered with perpetual verdure, and
nature is constantly pouring her treasures, all the
year round, into the laps of the industrious. The
trade and commerce extend to the coast, to the
interior parts of the continent, and to foreign
vessels, and is already valuable and fast increa-
sing. The chief exports are rice, palm oil, ivory,
tortoise shell, dyewoods, gold, hides, wax, and a
small amount of coffee. The imports consist of
the products and manufactures of the four quar-
ters of the world. The harbour is seldom clear
of European and American shipping; and the
bustle and thronging of the streets show some-
thing already of the activity of the smaller sea-
ports of the United States. Mechanics of nearly
every trade are carrying on their various occupa-
tions, and not a child or youth in the colony hut
is provided with an appropriate school. The
most recent accounts from Liberia are exceeding-
ly encouraging as to the health, commerce, and
prosperity of the colony. Fresh emigrants are
constantly arriving, who are immediately suppli-
ed with employment, or if sick, removed to a
spacious Infirmary. The piety of the first settlers
has continued to spread, and the standard of mor-
als consequently remains high. The Sabbath is
carefully regarded, and Sunday schools have
been established for the benefit of the native
children. The cheerful abodes of civilization and
