attuned to all that IS refined, virtuous noble and
hearenly. Her hand fair and soft as that of the
q Babe of Bethlehem" had never been taught to
know labor. Her foot, petit and lovely as that
of Naad, had never known even the sweet fa-
tigue of supporting her glorious person, save in
thegiddy dance or on the carpeted floor Oh,
she was surprisingly beautiful. More lovely
ethan violet opening from the moss,
Half hidden from the eye;
Fair as star when only one
Is shining in the sky"
In her q every gesture was dignity and love-"
This glorious creature had arrived at the age
Of matured omanhood-matured, for she loved
with all of her ardent soul; and the object of her
love was most worthy-a young man of her own
age, possessed of like tastes with her. and whose
soul had so become part and parcel of hers that
already, without the formality of pricstly cere-
fdony, the two had mingled into one. In the
eyes of heaven the twain were of one flesh, and
with the full consent of the fond father, the
emony that was to join them in the holy bonds
of hemlock" was to be performed in the cool
days of the approaching fall Alas that the
course of true love generally deviates from a
straight line and smooth ground. and leads off
| among mountains, hills, cliffs, rocks and other
| obstacles calculated to prevent the stream S
| flowing like ''Sweet Alton quietly and smooth
ly. But so it is generally, and so it was in this
| case.
| One fine morning the doting father found
himself greatly embarrassed, in fact "busted.' y
| Ali his property was taken from him-all, save
| his beautiful slave daughter For the first time
| for years he remembers that she is his slave
| Selfshness takes the place of his parental love
at the remembrance. He meets lecherous old
scoundrel who has plenty of money He tells
this lecherous old scoundrel that, if he restores
him to wealth once more, he shall take his
| beautiful slave daughter to wife. Lecherous old
scoundrel jumps at the offer-pours out his gol-
den ounces without stint into the lap of the
doting father-and takes this virtuous, refined
and glorious being to his vile armsl
Result-doting father with a pocket full OF
rscks, lecherous old scoundrel gratifed, a vir-
= GUS and beautiful woman prostituted, and her
maniac lover in a mad house
| e Oh horrible most horrible !" we hear the
Aooltionist exclam. "Oh accursed insttu-
! ton, under which such crime can be perpe-
| trated /" we hear many Republicans exclaim.-
Sop, oh thou Abolitionist Hearken, oh thou
Republican! Listen, ye deriders CT your South
| ern brother! We have been but relating an
actual occurrence which took place on Northern
SOIL in a free State, but few days since. The
| fa.her is free citizen of New York, was once a
Wholesale importer of Chinese shawlS in San
| f, lncisco His name is Bartlett. The fair girl
| is his daughter. Her purchaser says the Boston
Journal, is " little, small and sharp-faced,
dark-visaged, THAT is to say dark mulatto] old
MN of Goa Cuban, who, we are informed by
the S. F. Neus, has 60 black and brown children
of his own in his native isle, where he is well
known, and could not purchase white wife for
apy consideration. His name is N. Esto de st.
| Conso De Oviede. The young lady is elegant,
and head taller than her egro-breeding own
er. The dotng father has been supplied with an
| elegant house in Fourteenth street, New York,
| and the negro pu-ehaser of hiseeughter has
! informed him that for the future he need have
ns.care. At last accounts doting father, negro
breeding Cuban, and his purchased wife, in fu-
turo had gone on pleasure excursion to Lake
George.
| The victim of this most vile and disgusting
transaction, at latest dates, was being furnished
with a magnificent wedding trousseau-includ-
ing. among other articles too numerous to men
tioa' seventy-five magnificent dresses.
| s, repellant to each other are this beautiful
girl and this echerous old Cuban mulatto ne
gro-breeder-so abhorrent is their union to God
andsnan. to heaven and earth, to all that is vir-
tuo4 and refined, that nothing short OF the
combined power of Protestant and Catholic ca
nonicals can join them together as man ana
wife. The Rev. Dr. Taylor will do one part OF
the work in Grace Church and Bishop Hughes
in tt. Cathedral, will consummate the saerltcial
TsacEiegious y work.
| And thousands of canting hypocrites, who are
eternally prating about the horrors OF the insti-
| tniioss of slavery because under it men and
women are bought and sold-will esteem 1T
pscsa privilege to be invited to witness the mar
RAG - nony, and an inexpressble honor to
touch The hand of the vile old bridegroom, and
cross their legs beneath the mahogany OF Cu-
ban muatto wealthy enough to purchase the
beautiful daughter of Northern slavery-ha'lng
