gitive slave,--
"The mortal puts on immortality,
When mercy's hand has turned the golden key,
And mercy's voice hath said, Rejoice, thy soul is free."
The attentive reader will perceive that I am indebted to Mrs. Stowe for the
application of this and other quotations.
The author of Uncle Tom's Cabin speaks of good men at the North, who
"receive and educate the oppressed" (negroes). I know "lots" of good men
there, but none good enough to befriend colored people. They seem to me to
have an unconquerable antipathy to them. But Mrs. Stowe says, _she_
educates them in her own family with her own children. I am glad to hear
she feels and acts kindly toward them, and I wish others in her region of
country would imitate her in this respect; but I would rather _my_ children
and negroes were educated at different schools, being utterly opposed to
amalgamation, root and branch.
She asks the question, "_What_ can any individual do?" Strange that any one
should be at a loss in this working world of ours.
Christian men and women should find enough to occupy them in their
families, and in an undoubted sphere of duty.
Let the people of the North take care of their own poor.
Let the people of the South take care of theirs.
Let each remember the great and awful day when they must render a final
account to their Creator, their Redeemer, and their Judge.
