Let mo remove your bonnet, and you will feel more at home.'
 To say that Beverly was surprised when he removed the hood and boeheld the shining features of the negro, would be but faint expression of his feelings. He stood perfectly motionless for awhile, and then gave way to bis passion in a volley of oaths.
