"Then you get none."
'Well, [ can give you three fps if you are
sufferin''' And the independent old fellow
rot ON to his dray and drove off. L
was standing at the door at the time, and
witnessed the whole proceeding. The un-
lust man turned away as the dray ratified oil,
but | could see no conjunction on ms hard
face.
A few DAYS after | witnessed a similar
scene, which | will also describe. Another
drayman brought him a barrel of flour and a
KEY of butter from the wharf. As usual, the
eleven-penny piece was rendered.
"The price is tree fps, NASSAU" said the
negro, smiling.
Nonsense here, take your money; think

"Indeed, indouble, massa! dats too little"
Here, amt you going to take your money!
You'd better
"Massa, if had plenty of ~money-and
what I'd call plenty amt much-l wouldn't
care about a ftp. But my old 'oman's been
sick now three months, and I've got hive lit

a loaf of bread, and that would go a good

vain repetitions, make a long prayer, as If he
were to be heard for his much speaking, in
stead of for his pure heart and upright pur-
pose. How can such men read the Word Of
the Lord, and then hope TO he received here
after into the Heavens, where love to the
n~eighbof is pure and perfect!

one of these he had taken from the Aims
| House, because, as he said, parents and
| friends were always troublesome to a master.
! They were a cowed, spiritless, and, If they
were to be believed, a half-starved set. Their
clothes were poor and dirty, and they were
ashamed to appear at Church on the Sabbath
day, or to 90 into decent company. Atmeals,
they were allowanced in many articles, such
as butter, meat, &c., at breakfast and supper
times; and in bread at dinner time. A sim
gle slice of bread was all each received du-
ring dinner. Potatoes were very good
The boys were loud in their complaints out
of doors, but dared not say much within.
