Ancestral Pride.

We are indebted to gentleman occupy
ing a prominent official position at Wash
ington for the following anecdote:
Any one who is at all familiar with the
negro character as it existed in former
times-that is to say, before slavery was
abolished-will soon detect the marked
change that has already, in the brief space
that has elapsed since that great act, come
over that people. They are now advanc-
ing in intelligence by education and ev-
cry step they take in that march is with
them, as it has been with every people
passing from state of ignorance to a high
er state-a step further away from their or
iginal simplicity and simple mindedness.
This, If not natural result, is certainly
fact, and these people are not to escape its
illustration any more than their white
friends, [ don't know that can better
illustrate the idea | am seeking to impart
than by the narration of the following in
cident, which literally occurred:
Many years ago there might be seen &C.
casionally stepping jauntly along Penn
sylvanla Avenue, in Washington, with an
air OF conscious superiority over his fellow
"darkies,", smart, spruce young "cullud
gemman," who rejoiced in the name of
Lloyd Wallace. He was Marylander by
birth, and the first light of heaven
that fell upon his sable counte-
nance was in the county of Anne
Arundel, in that State. He was born a
slave; but for his fidelity as he grew up.
and that of his parents, he and they had
been manumitted-were set free from all
bonds but those of love and attachment
to those to whom they once belonged.
Now it so happened that the family to
whom he and his forebears had been "ser-
wants" were part of my own kindred and
SO, when boy, we were acquainted
Lloyd and land were good friends, too;
and this friendship did not end when he
became by his freedom 'his own MANI
he only then became ga brother.n Meet
ing him one day, after the usual salutation,
his enthusiasm he exclaimed, "Mr. Will
liam" calling me by my Christian name,
as was then usual), II am always glad to
see you; it makes me think of the old
time; for, Mr.. William, my ancestors be-
longed to your ancestors, and 1 feel sort
OF national regard for you and all your
family. "-Hdrper8' Magazine for Nay.
