FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
by Wm. II. Dawley, Jr.

February 20. 1895 at Cedar Hill,
Anacostia, y. c. Frederick Douglass
died. The exact date of his birth is
not known. 1t has been celebrated in
connection with Lincoln on the 10Th
and also on st. Valentines day the
18th. Since the date is unknown and
must be selected there should be no
intrenchment on the natal days of
other famous men Notwithstanding
February furnishes the fewest num-
her of days of any month 1t appears
that the 20. the day of his death,
would also answer for his birth. For
both Shakespeare and Oliver Crom-
well died upon the anniversary OF
their birthday.
Thus, let us say. he was born Feb
ruary 20. 1917. Maryland is his ma
tive state. His early childhood was
spent with an inadequate wardrobe
and insufficient food, wanting in var,
iety. Possibly the happiest circum.

stance of his childhood was when
about the age of twelve, he was sent
to Baltimore and his new mistress
taught him with her son, his letters.
He outstripped his white companion
which elected such joy from his
teacher that she proudly told her
husband Mr.. Aud became angry
and ordered his wife to stop teach
ing the "Nigger." She reluctantly
obeyed. But the crafty young slave
found other means of furthering his
learning. The lion had tasted blood.
From the proceeds of backing boots
he bought the Columbian Orator, that
he had heard white school boys talk
ing about. Like Tom Sawyers in
white-washing his aunt's fence, he in
veigled these school days into teach
ing him words. Two selections in
the Columbian Orator increased his
discomfort with slavery: "A dialogue
between Master and Slave" resulting
in the slaves winning freedom, and
Sheridans speech on Catholic Eman-
cipation." He learned to write by
sides of ships, by initiating the copies
in Mrs. Aulds sons copy book, which
she had very carefully put away, and
by tracing the italics in WebsteTs
Spelling book. In 1888 the death of
his Master caused him to be hired
out to Mr. Covey who was very cruel
The second time he attempted to
whip Douglass, Douglass resisted with
such effect that Covey made no more
attempts From that moment Douglass
was free. However in 1886 his at
tempt to escape with five companions
for whom he had written passes was
uncessful.
But in 1888, with the financial as
sistance of free girl that he had
been wooing, sailor suit borrowed
from a friend, passports in his pocket,
he boarded a moving train and in
twenty-four hours reached New York
City where he was Joined by the
above mentioned girl whom he at
once married and the couple proceed
ed to New Bedford, Mass, to render
capture and return to slavery less
easy. In IS41 in Nantucket at the
Anti-slavery convention he met VIII
liam Lloyd Garrison and made
speech that secured his services as
the agent of the Massachusetts Anti
slavery society.
