there was something Of the sailor about his

maritime and tarry flavor about his clothes.
What did that mean? That he had worked

he had worked his way from America.

the runaways from the plantations. So

candles always wanted snuffing, and the
pot boys neglected this part OF their duty.
The candles were therefore seen in a kind
Of haze or cloud, and the reek OF the room

the stomach OF an OK.
Among the company sat giant OF
man, nearer seven feet than six: broad
and burly man. strong In proportion to his
length Of limb, unlike most tail men, who
are weak on their legs, IL not in their arms.
This man was as Tasty as any fellow OF
five feet ten. He was still in the vigor Of
early manhood. being not more than twen-
ty-eight or 50, and a model for a sculptor
Of a fine figure and a goodly person, per
fectly proportioned in all his limbs. His
color, however, was against him, for he
was a black thorough and perfect. There
are, as / have reminded you before, two
kinds of blacks-very like there are more
than two kinds, but only two are generally
known-the shiny black, whose face re-
fleets the sunshine and seems to return rays
Of it's own, and the velvety black, which
absorbs the sunshine and all kinds Of light
and reflects nothing. This negro was Of
the latter kind; when the light fell upon his
face 1t Disappeared: 1t produced a night;
he sat in a darkness of his own creation.
He was dressed in a strange collection
Of rags: he had q waistcoat with sleeves
which had been of a dark brown coarse
cloth, but full OF holes, the buttons gone
and the garment pinned all the way up;
his small clothes were like his waistcoat
and equally ragged; he had no stockings
but his bare black legs struck the beholder
with less surprise than If they had been
white; there was no appearance OF linen
about him; his shoes were of the most
common kind; he had no hat nor did he
want one with the thick fleece of wool
which covered his head. His eyes shone
like balls of fire in the candlelght and his
teeth showed of creamy white whenever
he spoke. With him, sitting on his knees,
was woman. She was none other than
