Gone to the Southwark OF
Westward.

A YELLOW WOMAN, called Celia
IN De,cher, in the Esd year Of her age,
about 5 feet or 8 inches bigh--marhs like
moles on the right side of her face, which,
with several letters on her left arm, We're
made with india ink. She is about four
months gone in a state Of pregnancy-fol-
lowed her husband, Jim Clark, a yellow
man. who was purchased from this place
and taken away in company with large
number of slaves, about two week ago, by
a man of the name of Basset. II is suppo-
sed they have gone 10 the westward: Celia
was horn free, and had with her notarial
certificate of her freedom, and description
of her person. Her mother, the subscriber,
is much afflicted by her manner of going a.
way. and desires that any humane people
who may chance to meet with her, will
persuade her TO return, being apprehensite
that when she gets into strange country,
where she will be unknown and out Of the
reach Of her friends and those who would
be likely TO protect her, attempts iuay be
made BY some avaricious and unprincipled
persons, 10 deprive her of her liberty, and
sell her for Stare. Should any such al
tempts be made, fifty collars reward will
be paid to any person who will commune
cate such information as shall lead to the
conviction Of the offenders, aud the recove-
~ OF the woman.

it often happened that theimpure thoughts
Of one or two children, previously vita
ted by the talk Of and intercourse with
negro wenches and bad servants, has Sc.
cretly been communicated to q whole
school. thus it is that parents, fer
want Of judgment and vigilance, expose
the pure waxen minds Of their innocent
offspring to be sullied by contact with
polluted servant members, and filed with
obscure images, OF the improperly Of
which they are so sensible, that the very
consciousness of understanding them O.
verwhe!ms them with shame.
Exactly Of piece with this artificial
fastidisusness is the prudery with which
many Of the very best novels in our lam
gusge arc rejected: not because they pre-
sent new and improper images to the yet
blank Imagination but because, like an
approaching wedding and many ether OF
the most innocent and laudable and in.
deed necessary transactions OF Lille, they
call up images already Premature'y i'm
pressed upon their f'ncies by the PoiIu-
ting conversation Of low and prchisste
servants, or IF those who have been sui
lied bv such intercourse. With those
wonderful illusions Of genius, Fieldins's
and smollett's novels, young lady would
blssh to be acquainted: and hy!-they
ould polute $50 say their mistaken H.
,tructOrsl their young minds with ideas
unfit for them-thsy would impart TO them
too much knowledge Of particular kind
they would irflame the blood! Let me
tell those who think SO, that few OF the
play hours of three ut Of four OF our day
schools will circulate more improper
knowledge, and of grosser kind, than all
the volumes OF those novelists. And here
again how inconsistent people are! a pa
