A White Slave.

The Toledo Blade furnishes the follow
ing item concerning the white slave who
was chased into Canada few days since:
ga day or two since, woman, so white
that the African blood in her veins was
not perceptible on a casual observation,
passed through on this famous route. She
was from Kentucky. She soon found col
orcd friends, and so close were her pursu-
ers on her heels, that they were Sctually
in this city while she was, and even saw
them though they did not recognize hor.
Her friends dispatched her on the under.
ground, late on Monday evening, and re-
ceived telegraph news Tuesday noon, from
Detroit, that she was safe. We are glad
that seizure was not attempted, because
we are quite sure that it would not have
been "Burns case" though it might
have been an "Ellen Crafts affair."" and
then the liberties of this great people
would have gone down to oblivion in that
dark abyss that has swallowed up all pre-
vious republics.
Since writing the above we have been
shown a daguerreotype of the young wo-
man by Mr.. A. B. Weeks. 1t appears
that while her pursuers were after her she
quietly went to the daguerrean rooms
alone, and had her likeness taken to leave
to those who had befriended her. She
ordered it kept safely until called for -
My. Weeks had no suspicion that she was
other than white, well-bred lady The
closest scrutiny, aided by the knoEItdfS
that her blood had tingc Of the Affichb,
detects lingering evidence of her bIshd'
ed origin about the lips, and the artist IL,
forms us that he thinks the valves ~ .hs
brswn hair were little singular.

VOLUME NUMBER 9,

were whispering in sorrowfll tones, and
the great High Priest, among the rivers Of
earth, chanted solemn requiem ct thoir
hasty burial
On the same evening my own place Of
destination was reached. After the scenes
I had witnessed, the prospect of "terra
frma" was by no means disagreeable, yet
it was thought linked with the keenest
regret that l was about to part with my
fair sun-browed Floridian friend, in all
probability for ever.
But the boat had landed, and there was
no space for extended adieus or parting
scenes; one kiss upon her snowy brow, a
whispered farewell, and we were sundered.
As the boat swung back into the river,
she was out upon the guards. The same
gray travelling habit displayed the e1qui-
site contour of her figure. The rosy rays
of the setting sun, fell, like impalpable
wOrshippers, around her, tinging the waves
of her shining hair, and blending with the
kindred lucidity of her joyous countenance.
Upon the hill turned to take one last
fond look" Milman was standing near
her; he raised his hat; her fairy-like fin.
gers threw me a kiss across the waters,
and as they foated away in the lengthen-
ing distance, the deepening twilight gath.
cred around, and l saw them no more.
Several months afterwards, I was seated
in my own little vine-clad pOrtico, watch.
ing the gorgeous exit Of the god of day,
and listening to the thousand bird-tunod
harps which thrilled the dark magnolia
trees around me. Memory was busily en-.
gagged in linking her chain with the
thoughts Of my bright and beautiful fellow.
traveller, and in retouching the lines, she
had left upon my soul, when saw her
last, transcendent in her own loyeliness,
and glittering in the gorgeous mantle Of
the departing day-god. | could see her
out upon the guards again, bending to
throw me a kiss, as the vessel, fair and
graceful as swan, glanced swiftly down
the stream; her lover was standing at her
side, and again watched them melting in
the clustering twilight, softly as the bright
twin stars of heaven fade before the pin
ions of the purple rain-mist.
They were peopling my revcries, when,
bya singular coincidence, my uncle handed
me u delicately scented envelope, bearing
the post mark, Tallahassee, Florida"
"From Alice" I exclaimed! coming
events cast their shadows before; l was
just thinking of her"
hastily tore open the envelope; it con-
tanned two wedding cards, one bearing
feminine inscriptinn, "NIiss Alice Jordon,
at Home, Thursday evening, May 20|
the other, in bold and decided callgraphy,
"Clarence Milman."
