S had begged very hard to join the congregation, and upon the most solemn promise of remaining still she was ad- 252 JO0ENAI, OF mitted; but, in spite of the perfect honor with -which she kept her promise, her presence disturbed my thoughts not a little, and added much to the poignancy of the feel- ing with which I saw her father's poor slaves gathered round me. The child's exquisite complexion, large gray eyes, and solemn and at the same time eager countenance, was such a wonderful piece of co...ntrast to their sable faces, so many of them so uncouth in their outlines and proportions, and yet all of them so pathetic, and some so sublime in their expression of patient suffering and relig- ious fervor : their eyes never wandered from me and my child, who sat close by my knee, their little mistress, their future providence, my poor baby! Dear E , bless God that you have never reared a child with such an awful expectation : and at the end of the prayers, the tears were streaming over their faces, and one chorus of blessings rose round me and the child — farewell blessings, and prayers that we would return ; and thanks'so fervent in their incoherency, it was more than I could bear, and I begged them to go away and leave me to recover my- self.
