found negro trnder, with half a dozen
sons and daughters of the descendants of
Ham, whom he had purchased in the State
of Maryland, and was on his way with
them to the New Orleans market. l was
particularly struck with the beauty of a
white girl abOut seventeen years of age,
who was surprised to see sitting beside
the negroes; but concluded that she
must be the young and handsome daUgh-
Ter of the trader. l sat myself down by
tins stove, smoking my cigar. and took
position where | could see and admire the
mingled white and rosy transparent CONF
plcxion, and the finely chiseled features Of
the young girl: with her lips two rose buds,
her eyes liquid in their brightness, and
her auburn trcSscs, that Love himself
might delight to nestle in. ! had actually

love and Peris and stars, and connect them
with the fair being before me, when all at
once coarse negro laugh broke out from
between those pearly teeth and those rose
bud Iips,-called forth by some remark
made to her by the swlrthy black at her
side. That laugh and that voice of hers,
alone betrayed her negro desccnt-fOr u
negro she waS, and a slave too. The tra-
der told me that he had paid twelve hund-
red dollars for her, up i'll Maryland. to a
man whose wife had become jealous of
her. And he was taking her, with a lot of
blacker ones, to sell again in New Orleans,
Tbs story thus fully explained the mys-

1t is not unlikely that the wife of some
future master of this fair daughter OF
Ham, may also become jealous of her.
