band's return home with George one night, almost famished with
hunger, she had been able to save for him a small piece of bread,
about two inches square, and about a gill of milk, which she pre-

She answered, not a mouthfull. He called George, and handed
him the bread and the milk, without taking any of it himself.
  George was tendered his liberty by the daughter, on her ar-
riving at age, and often since, but he has wisely preferred to re-
main with the child of his benefactor, in the state in which he
left him.
