staggered, as well as her strength would
| let her, to the hohse Of her wealthy
Landlord" TO beg for mercy, and 10
solicit the release of her husband and the
father OF her helpless, suffering, innocent
calculating, as she had an I'M
doubted right TO calculate, that nothing
bearing the name of man, or wearing the
| human form, could withstand the solicita-
lions OF fvop0n, in such situation, sur
rounded by the silent, bot eloquent advo-
lcstes--the babes that surrounded her.
Unfortunate, miserable, mistakerfgife and
mother, little did you understand the
character of that heart on which yoa
sought to make an impression; the sight
| OH presented to bis eyes, was just such
one as was most pleasing the well knew
If your snfferiags coald not excite has
compassion, it would excite chat Of others
who, TO relieve her. would pay his de-
mand. This is one of the ways and meaus
fof this able fnancier TO raise money in
desperate cases--he knew if he would be
| firm, aad not relax in bis demand, the sum
would soon be forthcoming, and the event
soon showed se was right 10 his calcula-
lions.
| As soon as this wretehed female reached
her oppressor's dwelling, without asking
her to sill down, though nearly exhausted,
/ pretending to mistake her fueakness for
iatoricatioa, he began to load her with
the most Vulgar abuse, bestowed on her
epithets decent man would not apply to
i the most unworthy, and after ordering,
seized 10 push her out Of doors, Till bis
i wife and daughter | mention it to their
j honour rescued her from his ferocieus
4 grasp his negroes we're then ordered to
turn her into the street, with her children,
which they relaotaptly did, after the order
was several times repeated. Good God
i what land of sapages, must this poor
woman at that moment have tloaght her
husband had brought her to; but thanks
10 some who were near ct hand to redeem
this City, from the foul disgrace, such
/ Conduct was calculated to bring upon 1t.
Such cfuGiiv could :ses but 81 rae. Hs>
! tice in city celebrated for humanity, and
tsGch sight as was here presented could
not but attract crowd the woman was
soon surrounded, and enquiry was made
/ for the person who had so Blal.realed
stranger and Suonian. His fears took
the alarm. he had locked his doors, and
| through window made one Of his blacks
deny he was at home Nest fortunately
Il a young gentleman Of the bar, EbenezeT
Z. Findley, Esq. was al the moment pass
ing feeling all that generous warmth,
such canse was calculated to excite 10
manly breast, in favour Of the female, and
II oil Indignation against the man who had so
: acted, Mr.. +. obtained for her and her
! children an asylum in the house of one of
her coantrymea on the opposite side of
the street, put SIS bill into her hands,
and took his leave; Doctor Donaldson
was also passing and gave her like sum.
But although Mr.. Findley left, he did not
forget the poor woman and children he
4 went to the magistrates Office, superseded
1 the debt, got an order for the poor mans
/ discharge, carried ii to the Jail, and had
him released; in less than an hour he re-
turned with and presented him to his al
4 most heart-broken wife, and afflicted chill
dren, and with him nearly $40 collected
in his route, and thus enabled this suffer-
/ ing family, TO leave the house of him who
4 would have destroyed them for SIS.
! / am very certain that Mr.. Findley,
and the two respectable medical gentle
/ men, whose names / have taken the libeE-
ty of mentioning, as little expected as de-
sired to be noticed in this public manner.
\ owe them an apology perhaps, for this
/ liberty which have taken.
i 10 my nextI will give the exact dimen-
sions and true description Of the exte-
rior and interior, of the thing called
ho.se, for the use of which this poor fam
1 lily was TO give $3.50 year, and which
was endeavoured to be wrung from them,
and part of which was extorted from
others, by cruelty, and oppression; 1
will at the same time give list OF the
/ names, of the different tenants who have
occupied it and some others, belonging TO
the same owner for some months past, with
the sums paid by each, and the length OF
time they occupied them respectively, by
which it will very clearly appear that Pig
/ Styes are very profitable establishments;
and this honest Landlord, this ,Dorthy gen.
4 tleman, need have no fears but that full
i Justice viii be done TO his character, be-
fore take up that Of any Of bis brethren.
A POOR TENANT.
