fact. he was shaking with laughter. PATSY,
do you know it is wicked to tell lies p " Never
tells no lies, allus tells trufs." He seemed to be
totally wanting in moral conscience 1t was
doubtful whether he really knew the difference
between lies and Z" trufs.' The master labored
to convince him of his errors. The kind of talk
that would have reformed an ordinary boy, did
not touch him. II could not be ascertained
that he had any special affection through which
his moral sense could be moved His generous,
hearty nature went out to all alike. His ready
replies and bright remarks upon passing
events were the admiration Of the boys; and the
master liked him thoroughly. He once appealed
tenderly to the boys memory Of his dead moth
er; but poor Patsy knew only that she had died
before he could remember, and had not the faint
est conception Of a mothers love from the coarse
step-mother in his drunken fathers home. The
next day the master gave him place by the
window, farther removed from temptation. The
master had scarcely resumed his other duties,
after this adjustment, when he was startled by
the cry, PatsylFitz is out Of the window. Turn
ing about he could Just discern the top Of Patsy's
red head, before Patsy slipped down, and with
the help Of the loWer-story shutters, safely
touched the ground, and was of. The master
turned to the board with a sigh and determined
to let him alone. The next day Patsy came
grinningly to school and copied his examples
with unusual dill ,ence The master watched
him as he did it. and studied the bearings Of the
case.

children, and the race of the Yankee and the
niger is doomed together. The niggers have
but few children now, and fifty years hence there
VIII be but few left to quarrel over. Their doom
IS sealed when you attempt to civilize them. You
Yankees don't know what you are about. But
when your cotton mills all come to Georgia and
Alabama when all that's left for you to do, is TO
furnish the world with ice and stone, then may
be you will begin to see the effect on the North Of
this abolitionism. -
9 Don't you regard it as a religious duty to
educate the peope?" asked We
g No sir The Jews we're the most favored
people on earth, and not more than one in fifty
could read or write. 1t is convenient, but not
duty"
" Did you own slaves yourself? - again we
asked
Yes, sir; forty of them One day stripped
dozen of them and thrashed them, fol not at
tending church, as was my duty; and the next
day Wilson made a raid on Us, freeing the whole
lot, and now l never see one Of them niggers
without his threatening to thrash ne. Now
did't lash them because I loved to do so, simply
but as Il matter of duty, for l was responsible
for their religious welfare
90 our view Of the matter surprises me some
what, considering your profession said we.
" uNA the auhees came uOWn mere 20 tta'vl e
the Union, they did not think Of freeing the
slaves
'Oh you cannot make me believe that.
The Yankees calculated on the chances. They
saw they had the inside track and 10 vent their
spite they sent men down to fight The Yankees
did [ come themselves; they hired Gernans and
Irishmen to do their fighting for them; while they
lived at ease and made money. The Yankee has
0rerpowerei us,-not conquered us,--and now
suppose the devil will be loose for THOUSAND
years.
The arrival Of the train at Montgomery closed
the conversation, and we insert It here as It is
merely rehearsal Of the same IDEAS that We
have heard in a hundred other places since our
wanderings began.
