minister ofthe North, man ofthe highest
integrity and scrupulots aess of conscience,
spent few days a, Richmond, Virginia,
where he was Hospitality entertained al
! the house of Baptist lady. Among the
servants who waited, our friends attention.
was particularly drawnto one young man,
of very gen,eet address. and pleasant ap-
pearance, whose complexion was so very
| Iieh as to make it difficult 10 believe he
bore any African blood 10 his veins. Our
friend was so much interested in his ap-
pearance. and so we'll pleased with his
behaviour, that he sought an opportunity
OF conversing with him in regard to the
we!fare Of his soul. During the inter-
view, some conversation of the following
tenor took place; aud which has been
brought TO remembrance by the eveEts OF
the last six months.

We have the fullest confidence, the Ger

and that The gentsel. slender built, lieh'
complexioned young slave, did tell MI
