Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1859-07-02

The following episodicdl anscdote of an old
slave belonging to the Rev. Moses Parsons. the
father Of Judge Parsons, illustrates the biogra-
piers felicity as a story teller
She was, to all appearance, Of pure African de-
SCENT l think l never knew any person whose
face was of darker hue. She came into my
grandfather's possession while she was very
young, and when she was visiting at Gloucester,
after his marriage When it was generally be-
lieved that slavery was unlawful ih Massachusetts,,
he summoned his slavos into his sitting-room, and
there in the presence Of his children, declared
that they were free. The men accepted tho gift,
or rather the declaration, for gift it was not Not
so Violet. "No, no, MASTER" said she, "if you
please, this must not be. You have had the best
of me, and you and yours must have the worst.
Where am | to 60 in sickness or old age? No,
master your slave l am and always will be, and
will belong to your children when you are gone
and by you and them mean to be cared for"
She was as good as her word She lived in the
family until she was nearly ninety. l remember
her only as a pet, perfect privileged person.
She lived with one or another Of my grandfather
children as the whims prompted but during her
last years my uncle Williams house was her
home. She was respectful, faithful and affection
ate to my father. and to my uncle and aunts, al
ways calling them, however, by their Christian
names; but to others she could be, at least in
extreme old age, somewhat cross and petulant. 1t
was understood, however, that Violet was to liber-
ate her mind upon any topic, and to any person, at
her own pleasure, and with almos: entire ;mpu-
nifty, (for my uncles were very unwilling to rebuke
her. and no ono else dared tc,) and, on the whole
she used her privilege quite temperately. She
had what money she chose to ask for, and spen. it
as she liked and as she was fond of dress, few
members of the family had more or richer gar
ments. 1t was touching to see her, as did more
than once, cropping her way when her eyesight be-
came dim, through large party in my uncle's
drawing room, to him, as he sat-younger. but
almost as decrepit as she was--in his accustomed
seat by tho ireside. She passed among tho guests,
regardless Of them, or gently moving them out of

Now it came to pass in the third year of the
reign of the tyrant James. who ruled over Z
mighty people of robbers, that certain damsel
comely to look upon, had her abode in a grea
city, that lieth near the setting sun, on the ives
side of the father of wators. And there was re
siding in that city, man well stricken in years
who looked upon the damsel, and was sorely
smitten. Now it SO happened that when he saw
her, and remembered that he had no wife, mol
sons, nor daughters, that he communed with
himself saying,-f will go and present myself be-
fore her. And he did, even as he had said. And
behold, this aged man, whose name was Henry
went to see, and to talk with his beloved. And
he visited her by day, and by the twilight. lie
sojourned on foot, and he soourhed in his chariot
And he brought her flowers, and books, and jewels,
and hc laid them at the feet of his beloved. And
he brought her mighty instrument of music from
his castle ard he besought her to accept it. as
token of his love. Now the damsel, whose
name was Efie, even fife Carztang sat on the
stool thereof, and made music. Howbeit, il de-
lighted his heart and he was joyful. And he
spake unto her, and bosought her that she would
be his wife. Then she considered his words, and
replied un O him, even as he desired. But when
she had said unto him that she would go to the
CASTLE and be unto him wife, it crme to pass
that there was great gathering of men. and oil
horses and of oxen, and of all manner Of curious
things and Efie, taking with her ono OF the
young men, went to behold the wonders thereof.
And when the second day had fully come, Eihe
and the young man went up, even as they had
done before to sec the wen JetluI things that were
to bo seen. '1a'

DUTY OF THE STRONG TO THE WEAK

There is another question which must be con-
sidered. 1t is the problem of Asia, of Europe, Of
North America and of South America. What is
the duty of the strong to the weak ? The world
says they must serve the strong. but the Bible
gives another answer-that the duty of strength
and might is to embosom weakness--to open tho
heart to be shelter for them and if Calvary has
done any one thing, it has taught tho truth that
God laid himself down sacrifice for the weak,
and that he arose again lifting them up in tho

her hand on his shoulder, with BILLY, how dc
you find you find yourself to-night2 Are you
going to get good sleep2" And he would
answer, "well Violet, am pretty comfortable to-
night and how is it with you 7" And after few
more kind words her crrand was done, and Of
she went to bed.
She was extremely shrewd and observing, and
the domestics did not like her, for, purblnd as
she was. no waste or negligence or misconduct
could escape her vigilence or her tongue. 1t was
not merely that she identified hor interests with
those of the family; but she believed that
she was one of us. She remembered nothing of
parents or relations Of her own blood she grew
up with my grandfather's children, child with
thom-and somehow che had fallen into m in
definite sort Of notion that sho was of our kith
and kin.
AS she gtcw infrm, she had frequent and severe
rheumatism, or what was called so, and troubled
our family physician, good old DR.. Rand, very
m uch And let me say, as in parenthesis, how
few of my readers will be reminded by this
name, Of one who was, in his own day, brilliant
among the greater lights of his own profession !
The good doctor, who had himself grown little
testy, said to her one day: "Violet, thore is no
use in calling on me so often; can do nothing
fof tcu Your pains are constitutional, and you
mtst learn to bear tbem." ooh, dear v' said she
81 suppose must. Master had the rheumat tisn
bad, and Susy had it, and Theop, and Billy aud
Eben have It, thodgh hot so bad as do and
suppose it runs in the family" Master was the
name she always gave my grandfather the other
names were those of my aunt, father, and uncles
And so Violet, the slave, the sersant .hu friend
lived among us and died. At her funeral Presiden,
Kirkland oficiated ,and she was buried with every
circumstance of expense ceremony which could
have taken place had she been daughter of the
house; and her remains now rest in the family
tomb:
Even as write these words, am well aware
that it may be only tho garrulity of approaching
age which makes me record such trifes. But
will let them stand ; for, trifes as they are they
are among the recolloctons which l shall not
lose.
