"He'p Me Across, Papa!"
From the Detroit Free Press.
There was anguish in the faces of
those who bent over the Mittle white
bed, for they knew, that baby May
was drifting away from them, 2ing
out alone in the dark voyage where
so many have been wrested from lov
ing hands, and as they tried in vain
to keep her, or even to smooth with
their kind- solicitude her last brief
sorrows, they too, experienced in
the bitter hour of parting pangs of
death. Thev only hoped that she
did not suffer now. The rings of
golden hair lay damp and unstirred
, oii her white forehead ; the roses
were turned to lilies on her cheeks ;
the lovely violet eye saw them not,
but were upturned and fixed; the
breath on the pale lips came; and
went, fluttered and seemed loth to
leave its sweet prison. Oh, the
awful, cruel strength of death, and
the weakness, the helplessness of
1oy? They igwho loyed-fher, better
J than lire could not IHi-l a ham! to
J V .'- . .- ix
avert the destroyer j 'they could only
watch and wait until the end should
come. Her merry ringing laugh
would never again gladden vheir
hearts ; her little feet . would, make
no more music-as they Yart pattering
to meet them Baby May was dy
ing, and all the house was darkened
and hushed!
Then it was the shadows fell in
denser waves about us, that she stir
red ever so faintly, and our hearts
gave a great bound as we thought
'She is better! she will IiveC" Yes,
r she knevr us ; her eyes moved- frotn
? one face- totbe other with a dim, un-"
certain gaze! Oh! hovy good God
was to give her backL How wo
would praise and bless Him all oijr
JiyesJ -, She. lifted . one dainty hand
'cold almost pulseless, but bet
ter, better we would have it so!w
-anti laid it on the rough, browned
hand ot - the rugged man who sat
nearest to her. His eyelids -were
, red with weeping,' but now a - smile
, lighted all his bronzed face, like a
' rainbow as'he.felt the gentle press-
ure of his little daughter's hand the
. mutei imploring touch, that meant a
'question.'. -"-J; .
. WWhatisit, darling? he asked in
' broken tones of joy and thanksgiv
ing. She could not speak, and so we
raised her on the pretty lace pillow,
and her we white face .shown in the
i twilight like t fair star, or -a -sweet :
woodland flower. ,
She lifted her heavy eyes to his
; 'eyes that even had the glory and
the promise of immortality in them,
and reaching out her , wasted like
arms,' said in her wearv, flutter-like
voice:
''Help me across, papa!"
Then she was gone! We held
to our breaking hearts the trail,
beautiful shell, but she was far
away, whither we might not follow.
She had crossed the dark river, and
not alone.
"Over the river the boatman pale
"arried another, the household pet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled
i i
nanus.
And fearlessly
buk:
entered the phantom
Vi e telt it glide from the silver sands, j
Aud all our sunshine grew stranelv I

Oh, ' Infinite father! When we'
weary and di.ssappointed ones reach
out pleading hands to Thee, wilt
Thou take us even as a little child,
and help us across over the moun
tains of defeat and' the-, valley? of
humiliation into the eternal r-st o

The Original Uncle Tom-
Indianapolis' Times.
It has long been rumored, and
K.,
many believed, mat -Mrs. o,,, u
... . .1
thor ot "Uncle Tom's Cabin." drew
the character of Uncle Tom from an
old negro who formerly lived here
and whom she met during her visits
to her brother, the .Rev. II. Y.
Beecher, while lie resided in this city.
In order to verify the story,'" if true,'
the editor of the Times wrote to Mrs.
Stowe, calling her attention to the
matter and asking for a statement of
the facts in regard to the- origin of
the character of Uncle Tom , Follow ing
is her reply : v
Saco, July 27, rSS?.
Dear Sir : In reply to your in
quiries I will say that the character
of Unrle Tom was not the biography
of any other man. The first sugges
tion of it came to me while 111 Walnut
Hill, Ohio. I wrote letters ior my
colored "cook to her husband, in Ken
tucky. " She told me that he was so
faithful his master trusted him; to
come alone and unwatched to Cincin
nati to market his farm produce.
Now this, according to the laws ot
Ohjo, gave the man his freedom, since
if any master brought or sent - his
slave into' Ohio he became "free; de
facto. But she said her husband had
given his word as a Christian to his
master that he would not take - ad-j
vantage otthe law his master prom
ising him his freedom. Whether be
4 ever got v 't or no? i know not. it
Was somefdur or five'years after when
the Fugitive Slave law made medesi
rou&'of showing wbatf';slavery. wasf
that I conceived the plan of writing
the, -..history of a,-faithful yChristiarv
slave. After I had begun the story I
got at the anti-slavery rooming Bos-
ton the autobiography f fosrah Hen
son, and introduced soingXih1 most
ttrftiiug "tncidents intAr rn-y- story.
The good people ot England gave my
simple, good friend Josiah enthusiastic-
wt!come-as fhe.Uocle Tom of the
story, though he was-alive, and wefl
. -
and likely long to live, and the Uncle
Tom of the story was buried in a
martyr's grave. So much in reply to
your inquiries. I trust this r plain
statement may prevent me from an
swering any more letters on this sub
ject. Truly yours,
II. B. Stowe.
