The Faithful Slave.

The Hon. Edward Everett, in n recent
speech, told the following affecting story:
A ctizeD of Rnpides, in Louisiana, with
his servant, started for California, hoping to
improve his not prosperous circumstances
by sharing the golden harvest OF that region.
For while they were successful, but the
health Of the master at length failed. What
in that distant region, under Constitution
forbdding slavery, aud in TINT new and
scarcely organized soceiy-what was The
conduct of the slave? Priest aud Levitc, MS
the muster lay i'll OF thypus fever, came and
looked on him, aud passed 10y on the other
side. But the faithful servant tended, watched
his stricken master, 10y day aud nighi-his
companion, nurse and friend. Al tiehgth the
master died. Whit then was the conduct OF
the slave, us he stood on those lonely wastes,
by the remains of him whom, when living,
he had served? lie dug his deceu, grave ia
