deck, wrapped in meditation of the most
awful forebodings, and said:
well Moses, have bought YOU,
Moses made low how, and every
muscle IN his face worked with emotion
as he replied:
''Is you, massa? Where is ou,,.

YES, Moses, you can go to church
three times on Sabbath and every NIGHT
IN the week, and you can pray as often
| as you choose and as loud as you choose
| and as long as you choose: anu every time
you pray, whether it be at home or in the
church. want you to pray for NE. my
| wife and all my children; for If you are :.
good man your prayers will do US 20 harm.
and we need them very mnch; and if YOU
wish to, you may pray tor every body of
my name In the State. 1t will not iniure
them."
When Mr.. B. was dealing out these
privileges to Moses, the nearo's ewes
danced in their sockets and his full heart
laughed outright for gIadness, exposing
TWO rows of as even, clean worries as any
African can boast; and his hearts response
was, "Bres. God, bress God all de time,
and Dress you, toe, massa; Moses neber
| links bout he gwine to hab all dis COM
modationers; dis make me tink bout
Joseph N de Egypt" And after Moses
had poured few blessings upon Col. C.
and bldden him warm adieu, and re-
quested him to give his love and farewell
to his mistress, the children and all the
servants, he followed MIR. B. to the store.
TO enter upon the functions OF his new
office.
The return Of the schooner brought to
Moses his wife and children.
Early the next spring as Mr. B. was
one day standing st the store door, he
saw man leap upon the ;narf from the
deck OF q vessel, and walk hurriediy
toward the store. He soon recognized
him as Col. G. They exchanged saluta.
tons, and to the Colonels INQUIRY after
Moses, Mr.. 3. replied that he was up
stairs measuring grain, and invited him

attention was arrested by very confused
noise above. He listened ana hea,ed an
unusual shuffling OF feet, some one sob
bing violently and some one talkin. very
huuiedlY; and when he reflected upon
Col. C.'s movements and the peculiar ex-
prcssion OF his countenance. he became
alarmed and went up 10 see what was
transpiring.
When he reached the head of the stairs
| he was startled at seeing Moses in the
| middle Of the floor down op1n one knee
with his arm around Cotonei's waist, and
talking most rapidly, while the Colonel

| Colonel could sufficiently control his feel
ings, be told MIR. B. that he had never
| been able to free himself from the intiu-
ence of Moses prayers, and that during
the past year he and his wife and children
had been converted to God.
| Moses responded: Dress God, Massa
G., doe way up hea, neber forgie YOU
in my prayer; olles put de ole ,nassa
side de new one. Bress God, dis make
Moses tink about Joseph in de Egypt
again"
The Colonel then stated to Mr. B. that
his object in coming to Baltim re was TO
buy Moses and his family back again.
But Mr.. B assured him that was out of
the question, for he could not part with
| him; and he intended to manumit Moses
and his wife at forty and his children at
| thirty years of age.
Moses was not far wrong in his refer
ence TO Joseph. For when Joseph was
sold into Egypt, God overruled it to his
good, and he obtained blessings to his
good, and he obtained blessings that
were far beyond his expectations; so
with Moses, he eventually proved the in
strument, in Gods hands, of saving the
mans soul who sold him
