are of rare occurrence. Olicii will the

Kind words and deeds like precious
seeds, were never destined to be lost to
him that scatters them lor the welfare of
suffering humanity, but, when oppress
ed with care, or sunk in the night of des
pendency, will be a beaeon star, guiding
to the dawning light of prosperity.
In the fall of 1S37, a young man, a
resident of Brooklin, V V.. was spend
ing u few weeks in the vicinity of Baton
Rouge, in order to make some purchases
of cotton, himself and father being ex
tensively concerned in the Fall River
Manufactory.
Having completed his business satis
factorily, Lesli \V —— resolved to ap
propriate n week to a ramble among the
various cotton and sugar plantations ie.
the neighborhood. IL- was delighted

the plantations. 11c admired the luxu
riant growth of the broad leaved South
ern corn and the towering canes. But
could not hut smile, a little contemptous
ly it must be confessed, at the terrible
outcry made by the North against slavery,
when he saw the contented and cheer
ful countenances of the plantation hands,
their games and pastime, their excessive
and extravagant joy when returned their
annual ilium 11131100,* as they term it.—
Like most northern persons visiting the
South for the first time, he was dazzled
by the brilliant exterior, but did not trou
ble himself to lift the curtain and view
the loathsome spectacle as it is, and, but
for the incident about to be related, Lisli
would have returned to the North a sin
* A custom among I ha negroes "f selling on fife the
cornfield* after the c«.»ru tee.i harvested On the
evening appointed,at the preconcerted signal,the negroes
on the surrounding plantations, simultaneously apply
the lerch to the slam ling stalks, and soon the whole
•seems to be illumined by ten thousand lights; the scene
rom the river u enchanlingly boauMful Inurmi vm
core admirer of the ‘beauties of American
slavery.’ ft
One day as lie was passing in the
rear of a large plantation, he heard voi
ces, which seemed to proceed from a
thicket of bushes near by. lie was
about to continue his wall: without notic
ing the circumstance, when a word was
horn to Jiis car which caused him to
pause and listen. It was evidently a
negro belonging on the plantation in con
versation with some one, a female, who
seemed to he pleading in an earnest but
subdued tone of voice.
"Well tniss,’' he overheard the negro
say, "you've sot yourself ’hove us long
null', now you’ve got to cotch it.”
“Junus,” replied the female voice,
"you know that I have ever treated you
and the plantation hands, with kindness;
did I not interfere in your behalf, when
you were tied to this same whipping
pr -t, and rescue you from an ignoinmous
puni I.incut 1 did I not wait upon you by
night and by daj, vv I. a you were burn
in 1 with the fever, when with the most
solemn protestations, you vowed to re

heart to murder me thus! lor you know

“Well, 'bpos you’re been good'nulf,
but I ow’d a ‘i, ul.tr grudge ’gainst all
wfolks, and when I ;cn a chance : 1
•it tip one of you white niggers, den 1

“C -:ne .ci »p I a, if you know what's

a . oud chance to strike.’’
Matters bad proceeded thus far, when
1. !i concluded that it was time to in
terfere. St< j'.pir around,an uruwp*'-ted
si ht was present* 1 to view Just before
him !><'! a . ant:: (thione.’i, bran*
«!i-!i .-g !iea\y cat i»’ nine, pr* ; •'.ring to
bring it >1 wn with terrible execution on
tin* lily white neck and shoulders of a
'•.nguiarly beautiful girl, who was confin
ed by the wrists to a sort of calaboose o.
whipping btan 1.
This young girl was :i tpsadroon, fair
and delicate as the
Kir.«t Mii-thin** How -r . f i!w Sr-ri.
N\: i .h one raJ ! area:a w.li N hi,
but. wh >, like many of lli.it cl.i s ol
Louisiana’* unfortunate daughters, pos
sessed a countenance uliicb betrayed
yea roe a feature by which even the inert
critical dnervor, would, for a m iiuciit,
be led to - u.pcct that in her vc.ns there
course 1 a minut-1 drop of African blood.
I.esii paused lor a moment uiiob-erv, i!
by the black \ i. ped demon, to survev
the sir angc scene, but his ga/e was in
stantly met by a look from the p—.r giri
— and such a look ! the concentration ii
seemed, of loveliness and suffering that
appealed at once to'his very soul with an
eloquence surpassing words; that enlisted
all the sympathies of his noble an J gen
erous nature.
Stepping before iho negro—"stay your
lash” said he, ".vhat has this girl done to
you, for which she i- to be punished!”
“O, nufiiii, i uffin,” replied Erebus,
nolliing di-u u '.iled by the sudden ap
pearance and abrupt interrogatory ol
I.esii, "only she never had any brotin
up."
“You see," continued he, “mas-sa h;
had two wives, de first ob dem sol stores
by de gal — neber whipped her in her life,
but allers kept her in de parlor ’inOng
! de big fulks, d n she sent her off to Par
adise to get her edition finished,”
"To Paris, to complete her education,
you mean,” saiu Lcsli, interrupting him.
j "O yar, yar, all do same wid niggers
but stand back, young gcntman, dis lady
cotching cold, jest step back, while 1
proceed wid dis cal—calcrfactive cop
peration,” replied Junus pompously.
“Junus,” said Lesli, “will you inform
me where 1 can find your master!'1
“My rnassa! gess you cant find him
’tall. Yar, yar! he, he ! down on de plan
tation, mile otr.”
“Well, 1 want you to take the best
horse in the stable and ride down, tell
your master that a gentleman is waiting
to seo hint on business.”
“Yes sar, soon as 1 get through disin
clining dis lady.”
Bui I cannot wait ; here, take this
shilling and he off; I will do the whip
ping for you,”
The negroes eyes glistened al the sight
of the silver.
“You’ll do de gal jusis?” said he.
“Yes, yes, just as well as you would
vourself.”
“Well, den, I’ll be off in n jiffy,” so
saying the delighted darky 'vanished in
the direction of the stable.
As soon as the sable countenance of
Janus had disappeared, Lcsli proceeded
to release the fair captive from her un
comfortable confinement. She did not
thank him in worth; her heart was too
full fur speech, but in her meaning look
was expressed unbounded gratitude to her
deliverer. She could not speak. Her soul
seemed to lie crushed by a mountain
weight of contending emotions, but kind
nature came to tier relief and her sur
charged feelings bund vent in a flood of
, tears.
“Comp >se yourself, my good girl,”
• aid r.e>li, “and tell me why those tears
| and what sad fortune has reduced one sol
1 young, so fii , so intelligent as tiion 1
sccmst to he, under the inexorable rule
of bondage.”
“Pale!” sho replied suddenly raising
herself up to her full height, “say, does,
not the curse of Cod rest upon every hti
1 man being tinctured with a shade of my
I unfortunate race? I not 0:1c drop of
the a :eu ed blood sufficient to bring soul

[tyrants/ Talk of oppression!—where
will you Ichoid oppression of a deeper
dye, of more gigantic proportions than
in your boasted free republic! You may
trace the annals of the past, yes, pierce
the darkest ag< s of popish cruelty ; where
will you behold such Heaven daring im
piety as is revealed by the meridian light
of the nineteenth century iu the system
of American slavi ry.”
By Heaven,” mentally ejaculated
i I,., li, “tins girl possesses a spirit no eas
, ier to he lmmhled by tlio lush than lhe
j ticrcc wirlwind can ho hound with a
straw.”
"You talk wildly,” said lie “ho calmer
and relate to me a sketch of your past
i.'c, for i m certain that your history
mu-t be pcc’i'.'dnrly Interesting.”

ln-t ry of a pji r -lave todutercst a
you; l,ut you have ja heart to pity my
nii. fortuo.s, and won' i to hc.-veu 1
could rrpiy your kindness; hut alas, 1
am not my own. O, cru< 1 fate, why wr.
1 given a spirit so keenly to feci the crush
ing weight of bondage; better, far hotter
posse - the stupid iusensibilrly of the
| brute, than the consciousness ol being a
I slave. Hut it was not always thus—un
I til within n few weeks, 1 never knew

“My mother's mine*" continu 1 she,
“was Ango'ino A-, a very bright mu
gi ! 1 longing to my former n • ■
tress. Being very handsome Hie at
tracted the notice of a wild young
French gentleman, who f rgetting their
relative pesUIjn in society, rashly offered,
his hand and wan clandestinely married [
by a French clergyman.
‘•They lived very hap pily together fur
a few months, when De Lambert (that
was my father’s name) returned to,
France. From that day mother never j
heard from hint. Long, long were the
weary days spent in anxious expectation (
of her loved one's return; hut alas, it j
was but hope deferred, my poor mother
drooped like the lone willow, mid before[
her little Mary had attained her sixth
year, life’s cares were forgotten in death's
long leep.
Hut I was not uncared for; I never
wanted a mother's kindness, for my mis
tress adopted me as her own daughter,
strangely forgetting that I was still her
property,
‘■I was pelted and caressed by strati-j

iny kind protector.
“I frequented the most genteel society!
and attended the best schools, until I
was in my fifteenth year, when I was
sent to Paris, that world of frivolity and
show, in or ter to complete my education
and to enjoy the superior advantages of
the more refined French society.
‘ I had been in Paris but little more
than a year, when I received a letter from
my master bearing the sad intelligence
I lhat my best friend, my more than moth
lier, was lying at the very point of death.
With all possible despatch I has tened
across the Atfchiuc, but arrived too late
—the being that 1 almost adored was
now an angel—she hail breathed her last
charging her husband to be kind to her
I loved Mary. This was my first sorrow
and I wept in unfeigned anguish of spir
it, but when I saw the bowed head and
silent grief of my master, I subdued my
feelings turned my whole attention to the
arrangement o( his disordered house
and to me was intrusted the solo manage
ment.
“It wns indeed a sad change from the
’ay world to the stern realities of life,
jut 1 felt not the loss so keenly as I had
expected. It Is true L hud lost a kind
friend and benefactor, and for a time this
otautiful world seemed n wildesness of
care and deprivation, but those gloomy
feelings were dispelled by the bright stm
•bino of love, and I felt that I-nill had a
protector, that I was loved not rs a friend
men Iv, but w ith an affection fiigher and
holier.
“ V’ou may deem me imprudent for
uniting myself lo a slave, but William
would scorn to own the name, and be is
atily nominally - o, being overseer and
director on an extensive plantation up

‘As before mentioned, 1 was intrusted

faithfully lo dischnr . until within a few
weeks— litre for the tlrst time, my real
position presented itself to view with
overwhelmin’’ truthfulness—never had I
learned tho meaning of tl.e word inferi
or, yet as such was 1 treated from the
first, by my master s second wife, an ig
norant and haughty Spmi.-h Sonora
whose vast wealth lie had wedded.
lor a tunc her taunts anJ insults
wore supportable, for in my m;,-ter 1 stilt
found a friend ; ;tiil in his ears rang the
words of his dying wife, 'be kind to my
loved Mary,' but the v, ice of conscience
was soon stilled by the aitlul intrigues
of my cruel persecutor. She was welt
aware that my education and persona!
appearance were .-upcci.ir to hers; .she
noticed also, that her husband, if per
plexed with any difficult piece of busi
ness, would cou-ult me, au I rely upon
my judgment in preference to her own.
This, as might have been exp- ted, from
one so devoid of human sympathy, rote -

We will not tax the readers patience

fortunate female, nor i i: a mere pictur
of fancy’s coloring :—dark though it ap

imaginary; hu.lt. h there ar-"1 in the

terrupted by the return of her in; n r
accomp "ii I by duim .
“])- -! ■ -emmin,”. -.id the I tier point
ing to Lesli.
The g< nth-man dismounted, giving th«
horses in charge ol Ju i .'..led i.esli
into the parlor where he was introduced
to the lad’, who r -lur ,. 1 the gentleman
ly salutation with a - light bow of recog
nition, and with ut speakin- re aimed
her employment.
The gentlemen however kept up a live
ly convcrsacii n, which a a matter of
course, turned upon the north, her politi
cal views prospect!, &c., oca.
“Your northern people,” mid the
young gentleman, “seldom make pleas
ure the • le business of their porigina
tions, although pleasure may he ostensi
bly the object, jet your highly wrought
economical principles forbid that the but
terfly be persued without fiist ascertain
ing that its wings are tipped with gold.”
“I understand you,” replied I.esli,
“and although I may not admit the uni
versal annlicahilitv of the assertion, 1
must confess that pastime is not my only
motive in visiting the south ; for to tell
the truth I am in quest of a servant girl for
my mother, who is by reason of ill health
unable to attend to all the wants of her
visitors, as sin wo dd like. 1 wish to
obtain the service of an intelligent qua
droon girl it possible i although I have
seen many whose simple he ny would
well grace a northern parlor, yet none
whom 1 think my mother would fancy as
a constant servant.”
"I think we can furnish you an article
which wdl prove satisfactory," remarked
the lady, looking up from her embroi
dery.
"What! you do not infer to Mary V
exclaimed her husband starting from his
scat.
"Precisely so, my dear,” was the cool
reply ; "did you not give me the whole
cenlrol of the household servants, with
the privilege to dispose of them at will !
This is 1 think my prerogative, which 1
wish to exercise w ithout restraint.'’
“True yours is the undoubted rL'ht t:
increase or diminish the number oi
household servants at pleasure, but Mary
I do not rank as a slave but as an
equal; to which she is as much entitled
as yourself. Part with Mary! sooner
part with my own son.”
“I presume my dear,” replied the lady,
“that it is perfectly understood by you
that 1 shall con ult no one’s feelings bjt
my own, in reference to my own affairs.
Have you given to her a lawful freedom?
I wish you to bear it in mind that Mary
I must leave within one week—or 1 will.
If 1 can do in better 1 shall take the
trouble to send her down to Texas on to
a plantation.”
“And if I remain one week longer
with this fiend, this steel enters her heart
or mine,” exclaimed Mary, stepping into
the room, drawing from her bosoni at the
same time, a bright stilletto, and addresa
her master.
“Why Mury, are you mad?” exclaim
ed the astonished planter, “what in Ilea
! ven’s name i= the meaning of this?"
“Mad I" returned she energetically,
every feature betraying a determined and
i even desperate purpose. “Mad ! I have
endured wrong to drive an angel to des
peration ; I have borne this woman's in
sults a., long as poor human nature can
| bold out. I liave been struck like a doe

sent, by her order; to the whipping post
to ho flogged like a dumb brute an 1 for
nothing but to gratify a spirit :o fiendi h
that even the i’riuce of darkness r -iiisi-h
would Llush to own.
“Tell me, heartless, soullo.-s persecu
tor of innocence,” said she turning t)
the half-fainting iSenora, “would not hea
ven and my own conscience justify the
act of ridding the earth of such a worth
less thing as thou ?"
I “And you once my protector hut now
' misguided man,” said Mr: again address
ing her master, “how have you discharg
cd the solemn obligations itti|Hised upor
you by a dying wife? las tbal vow, ut
j lered in the ‘presence of angels, beet

sainted form, whose sacred memory yoi
h' ,e so grossly abu« ? -ay, will she tr

j false to tli) truth7”
“Leave the room," thundered the ex
(cited planter, “how dare you ad Iris- me
thus?”
.’/ore would have hern mid, hut tin
c nsci nee smitten, the guilty man quail
t 1 beneath the pierceing eye of the pta
dr. ion 1 .
I “Not only this r rn, hut I efore to

home, never to return again alive.” Sr
saying this high spirited g rb with a frit

They n paired ta the study when
Mary was called and the business r tiled
Lcsli had just comp' ted his purvhtve
when a fourth | trsan w is announced.—
lie was a man dressed in a s rt -I hunt

dressing this not very prepossessing per
sonage, “what has brought you tip from

“Why yc see,'' replied this rough spe
ciinen of ‘physical slruiim,’ "ye sec
this nigger catching business is gili:
devilish dull nowadays, so I concluded :
drop it at onst and go into the trndii
line.”
"And how have you succeeded?”
“O fust rate, I got a boat some monr;
and a contract for niggers, went up rivei
and bought about a dozen smart follow:
and yesterday came down to where tin
Perkins plantation used to be."
At the mention of Perkins, il/ary win:
had been sitting apparently absorbed in
her own sad reflections, suddenly started
and listened with fixed attention.
"Used to be?” interurpted the planter,
“Yes, you know Perkins made a flum
ux of it; plantation, niggers and all
; went into Parker’s hands.”
Indeed! this is news; I thought Per
kins stood on good footing—but go on.”
•‘Well, as I said afore, 1 came down to
the Perkiti3 plantation. Perkins, you
I know had a white, nigger for driver, and
when Parker came on he brought an
overseer with him ; so the old un was’nl
wanted no longer; ,i when Parker at
tempted to break him into the field work
ho flared right up and .h cl red he woul I
rather die than grade himself to the level
of a common slave. Well, Parker just

The Kin? of Naples and the Jesuit s
A curious quarrel lias broken nut at
Naples between the King and the Jesuits
The Neapolitan Minister of Police te
oently sent tor Father Giuseppe, th.
head of the order of testis, and informed
him that he must no longer teueli the
‘revolutionary’ doctrine that the Pope is
superior to all the Kings of the earth.
The Minister added that in 1S48 the
Jesuits had been sent out of the Kingdom
‘in coaches ’ but if they continued to
to teach flitch doctrines they would hi
'hunted out with kicks!’ Father Gius
eppe and twenty three others mu it
laruied at the threat have published ,
.statement professing their entire devofi n
to the absolute Monarchy of Mauler
. T !: the Ming of Naples is unwiii.i.,
to tolerate such a nest of traitorous vil
lains as the jesuite, we see no reason
why they should fmd r.u asylum here, am
c hope tint the time is not far distant
when they will receive intimation ftw.i
our government, that if they do notice c
of their own accord, they v. ill rcco
