SUMMER EVENINGS LONG AGO.

I sat behind my window-sill,
In the hot and dusty town,
The sun behind the sultry walls
Was slowly sinking down.
The breeze across my mignonette
Came breathing sweet and low,
To wake sad sleeping memories
OF evenings long ago
[ thought that had driven back
Suct memories as these,
aBut'now they all return again
on whispering summer breeze.
FOND words came ringing through my brain
That fill my heart with Woe
Oh, God what brought them back tonight
Evenings of long ago?
| see the green lanes where we strayed,
Thy dear hand clasping mine;
The same blest breeze that fans my cheek
Sweeps softly over thine
And words of love pour from thy lips,
Not measured, cold, and slow
AS those now hear. Oh pine
For the evenings long ago!

Had schooled my aching heart
To pass through life as best may,
And act my weary part

THE SLAVES EXPERIENCE.

"Send her up, Minnie" was the ex-
clamation with which | received the news
that colored woman wished to see me.
| threw down my pen almost impatiently,
for | did not care to be interrupted Just
then; but the appearance of the new
conner interested me instantaneously. She
was a tall woman. her complexion taw-
ny yellow. her features good, and an air
of indescribable sweetness in face and
manner Her dress was neat blue check
quite scant, and sweled out by no hoops
of steel. 1t was short also, scarcely
reaching to the toes of her heavy shoes.
She had on a white apron, and folded
about her neck coarse white handker-
chief. Her bonnet was an ordinary one
of straw, and her white hair, hleached by
time, stood out, imposingly, on either
side of her withcred temples She made
me low courtesy, and seemed for mo-
ment keenly reading my face.
My name is Katy Morrison, man,"
said she, as beckoned her to be seated.
They called me Aunty Kate at my old
home
"And where where was your old home,
aunty ?'
Up in Virginia, dear child; long
ways up, l tell ye,"
"And you were slave, ! suppose
Deed | was so, miss but now rs
out o bondage -Hallelujah Praise be
to God v'--and she held up her withercd
hands, while the large tears gathered in
her eyes,
Did you run away ?"
"Ah, sweet child, you better blccve |
did, honey. Me an my ole man, (hc's
most seventy-four,) we toted it all de way
'cept now an den we git lift in some
baggage wagon. Twas purity hard, deed
it were"
II have heard it said, Aunt Katy, that
most of the slaves love their homes and
their masters too well to run away How
is that?"
Don't you bleeve the half, honey"
said the old negress, with an emphatic
wave of the hand. "Wes bad enuf, but
not 50 bad as to hate liberty. People
what tells you dat dunno child, dey dun
no." she added with a strong emphasis.
Pears to me if dey was slaves for lit
tie while, dey'd change der tune mighty
quick, deed would dey."
"Did you have kind master, aunty ?'
"Why, as dey goes, yes" She sat
looking down and crimpiug up her apron
at one corner "He were were well enuff !;
but riissis, dear her temper was tarrible
She'd hit right and left when she were
out sorts; an sne were dat often. one

The strange look that accompanied this
speech, the sigh and sudden inclination
of the head, led me to suspect there was
more meant in what she said than ap-
peared on the surface.

march through tie Shenandoah valley to

this plan, The second proposition was to
make the movement from Fredericksburg;

protection would be afforded to Washington.

thence move on to Richmond.
