there, seated upright in the buggy, BY the
side of Tibbs, sat Patsy, the woman al
ready described. A single drop of blood
rested Just below one corner of her mouth;
her face was sad, even in death, for she was
dead: her heart had broken. r s75s
Poor Patsy! In her position as house
maid, in family in Washington city, she
had observed the department of cultivated
persons, and her own manners were as quiet
and refined as the best culture could make
them. The same dreams of love and han
piness passed through her girlsh irnagin-
alton, and warmed her heart, that cheer
and soften the hearts of all her sex. And
then she married-ma the lover of
her youth and of her choice-and loved
him more intensely than sheloved her own
life. He was free man, mechanic, in
dustrious and sober, and they both hoped
that, by his industry, she would soon be-
come free. Children clustered around their
humble hearth, and the footsteps of their
little feet as they followed her, made music
to her heart They threw their arms around
her neck, and she half forgot in their ca

her soft hands the tears from her face, and
soothed her with kind and comforting
words when she wept from the fear of sep
aration. The smiles of her infant were
dear, as such smiles always are, to the mo
ther's heart. And then came gloomy fore
bodings Of her sale to the tradersAnot th'
most sbject submission that a slave can of
