A SAD AND SOLEMN STORY.

CHAPTER 1,

CHAPTER L.
Simon Brown, ESQ.,, resides on B street,
Boston, in the same house with the rest
of his family, except his departed dead
wife and Rebecky, an only female daugh-
ter. Simon Brown is also Deacon in a
fashionable war-church, which situation
he obtained on account of his having
done much service for his country in this
war as an Army Contractor. He was a
Democrat when the war first broke out ;
but number of Boston patriots sur
rounded him on one Sunday evening, in
his own room, and offered him job of
making several millions of coats and
trowsers fer soldiers, at an immense profit,
if he would only "come over" So 81
mon, seeing the profits, kin over" like
several hundred thousand more of his
kind. Therefore, Simon, like them, is
one of the apatriots' of the country,
and consequently believes the noble ne
gro to be a pure white man, and is only
black on account of his color.
Simon was also " born of poor but re-
spectacle parents )" and whether his
father was "a weaver" or not, we don't
know, but he must have been something,
or else Simon wouldn't have been born
However, whether Simon had father or
not, he was considered the most patriotic
patriot in all Boston. He was likewise
charitable, like others of his kind, as any
one could see for he gave every poor
woman he could get to work, at the price,
10 cents piece for each army garment,
which only cleared for himself the s'small
sum " of So on each soldier-coat. Simon
was also a miscegener; that is, he thought
yailer the most beautiful. color for
white children hereafter He often said
that the Irish and Dutch should not as
sociate with the negro, He, therefore,
was in the habit of keeping the blessed
contrabands in his house for week at a
time! and sometimes he would treat no.
BILE Africans with some private whiskey,
which he always kept on hand for medical
purposes emily, as he belonged to tenn
perance society, and chawed brown paper
when he went out to keep down the smell
of liquor. 80
CHAPTER III. ssi3 fs
Deacon Brown had only one children,
and she was an only daughter--16 years
old, IL hands high and black hair: Her
form was mouldy in the strictest sense of
the word, and she had gait as fau!tless
as that of the Greek Slave. Her name
was Rebecky. She was called after old
Rebecky in the Bible, which accounts for
her being of that name.
CHAPTER III. Easa
Rebecky, like her parent father, had
got to be great Union man also like
wise, and her sympathy for the down
trod African was such that she could pick
out. in the dark, an animal Of that class
from an assemblage of Germans and Irish,
just by his peculiar shrub-like odor,
which she had learned to scent with a
precision equal to dorg. And several
were the noble contrabands that would
she this way bring to her fathers house.

Old Mrs. Brown stood fast to her an

would I" cook marry drop for no sich
