circurnstanccs? Mrs. Tilions letters
are her Condemnation, and Mr.. Beech
cr's also. Ordinarily, there are no cir
cumstanccs whatever which justify a
married woman in writing sentimental,
or friendly letters to married man,
be he a preacher, or otherwise. When
woman finds herself entertaining for
her minister or her milkman sentiments
which she is impelled to communicate
TO him in the form OF letters it will
not require much "analysis' Of her
mind aud heart, 10 show her that there
is something wrong, The man who
receives such letters is party to
the wroug, and the letters are
the ovidcnce, not the cause Of it. So
they were in the case of Mrs. Tilton
and SO they must be in the case of ev-

cause, said he, "thcy cannot be taught

crs created prejudice against the
Britons which caused them to be sold
very cheap in Rome, where they were
seen for years with brass collars on,
containing their owners name.
Now, would Brown, cor any other
man, but especially Brown, who does
"not regard the average negro or the

say that these conquered wero not

forcfathers had not been stolen from the
coast of Africa, they, like other advent
urers would have found their way to
America, and finding it fertile and

here. Tho negro in America is per-
forming an important part in the
drama, and in the closing scene we
will discover that the true purposes Of
