the sensitiye conscience Of our plant doctor oil
divinity by his first superficial look at the slaves
in the city. Their gsyety had singular eject

presence az to damsge his pous humility, suggest

personal homage. No wonder, that his fancy

would even I" have stopped and paid good price
for a certain good morning, courtesy, and bow
but it was worth more than gold" In these ecs-
tatc satisfactions, were passed the first vernal
DAYS Of his residence in Savannah. The era OF
good feelings was fully ushered in, and the sub
lime contentedness of the wsnderer was COM
plete.
But still new joys were in store for his devout
spirit. Training. day occurred during his visit.
Three bands of cOlored musicians came to salute
bis host, who was commander of the military bat

latent enthusiasm Of his nature. His aesthetic eye
was at once struck with their personal graces.

DR.. Adams crept to his bed that night "a sadder
and wiser man." and found when he "awoke
the next morning that slight frost had touched
some of his nOrthernmost fancies about the
slaves"
His surprise and pleasure experienced high

tons, in the latest style, white M.rseilles vests,
white pantaloons, brooches in their shirt-bosoms,
gold chains, elegant sticks, and some old men
leaning on their ivory and silver-headed slaves,
as respectable in their attire any who that day
went to the house of God, was more than was
prepared to see." So delighted was the Doctor
at this unexpected disclosure of negro Brummel-
ism, that be felt an impulse to shake hands with
every one Of them, as an expression of his pleas

digDfed Christian gentlemen" But he feared
to be seen in the act-his cooler Judgment pre-

such smiles, uncovering of the head and graceful
situations that he almost lost the Christian in
the Scribe or Phsrisee, and "felt that be did
love such greetings in the market place from such

But we are not to imagine that all the exhihr-
atoms Of our author proceed from such apparently
trivial sources. They, indeed, throw him into a
perpetual delrium of excitement; but in his
graver intervals he enumerates several Of the
more important benefits Of Slavery, which made
profound impression on his inquiring, suscepti-
