to depart from their holy estate, so hast thou sought to
entwine thyself around the heart of the poor, ignorant,
confiding Slave, and lead him through the labyrinth of
ruin. Happy and contented at his home, thou didst find
him and poured thy poisonous breath into his ear, and
brought upon him irretrievable ruin. The blood of infiwt,-
like Moloch of old, has stained thy hands, because thou
didst induce the mother to escape, who, if not tempted by
thee, would have remained at her home, happy and con1-
tented. Thou didst draw her into that perilous condition,
the most friohtful to the Slave, in which, by the instiga-
tion of the Devil, if not by thyself, she felt herself con-
strained to pour out the blood of an innocent and harm-
less child. But here, let the curtain fall-I have done
with Ohio."



             CHAPTER XXXIII.
  The 'Squire and David at home-The Pony-Final Conversation.
  " HERE we are, at home once more," said the 'Squire
to David, " and on the soil of our beloved Kentucky.
We have had hairbreadth escapes from those malicious
negroes in Canada, and for our escape, we are chiefly in-
debted to that splendid little pony. Oh ! I must see him
at once. Tell the hostler to bring him in the yard, that
we may feast our eyes upon him."
  After a few moments' absence, David returned, and
informed his uncle, the pony was in the yard. He imme-
diately walked out, and addressed Henry, the hostler, in
the followino words:
  " Well, Henry, have you treated this little horse with
the utmost kindess, ever since his arrival Have you
given him a-plenty of oats and hay-or whatever he most
relished; and then, a-plenty of good soft straw, upon
which he could repose of nights. To us, lie has been a
precious pony, having borne us twice away from infuri-
ated mobs of negroes in Canada. By his agility and
speed, our lives have been preserved, to be present with
yon ll this day."
