I made up my mind, of course, that the box and contents would never get farther north than the studio of my misanthropic friend, in Chambers Street, New York.

We look upon the American Colonization Society as one of the most arrant enemies of the colored man, ever seeking to discomfit him, and envying him of every privilege that he may enjoy. We believe it to be anti-Christian in its character, and misanthropic in its pretended sympathies.
Seldom did a smile cross the oval, demure face of his wife she was always thinking of something foreign to life, and in her calm blue eyes something dark and misanthropic was flashing at times.
