The Woes of Slavery.

The Portsmouth, IVA Transcript relates
the following as strictly fact. Let those
who counsel soft words against slavery read
it, and then permit their tongues TO speak
as men with human sympathies and manly
spirit.
A wealthy American merchant OF the
city of New Orleans, married Creole lady
of fortuue, and with the estates aud SER
wants there came into his possession a mu-
latto seamstress and her daughter, child of
seven years. The gentleman was SO much
struck with the extraordinary beauty of the
child which had the purest Italian features
and complexion, that he resolved to save it
from the life of degradation which was be-
fore it, and free it and educate it He sent
her TO Northern school, where she re-
manned till her sixteenth yearly all sup.
posed to be a Creole maiden, She herself
knew not to the contrary-so young was
she when she went North. Beloved by all
her companions, the idol of The institute,
and caressed by every one, she left to return
South, as she supposed to the "root OF her
uncle" A yonng Louisiana gentleman,
who had seen her in Philadelphia, and loved
her, aud was beloved by her, sought her
hand on her return. The marriage day
was fixed, the day arrived, vi hen the mother,
who had long been sold away in La Lourche
Interior, in order that she might never APP
pear as witness against her child, reap
peared IN the bridal hall, IN the very hour
after the ceremony had been performed,
claimed the magnificent and now miserable
bride as her own daughter-a bond slave by
birth, and an African by blood The scene
as described by one who was present, sur
passes the power Of pen to portray. That
night the bridegroom, after charging the
adopted father of his bride with his gross
deception, shot him through the body and
disappeared carrying. no one knew where his
lnfamy and his bitter sorrows. The next
morning the bride was found, disfgnred
corpse, in the superb nuptial chamber which
had been prepared tor her reception. She
had taken poison Education, cultivated
mind and taste, which made her see and
understand how great was her degradation.
now armed her hand with the ready means
