"If you should be sent to a far-off land, wear this for the sake of her who appreciated your virtues, your noble spirit, and your pure and disinterested love; look upon it when, perhaps, the Atlantic may roll between us, and when you do, think of your Cooleen Bawn, and the love she bore you; but if a still unhappier fate should be yours, let it be placed with you in your grave, and next that heart, that noble heart, that refused to sacrifice your honor and your religion even to your love for me.

"I don' member much 'bout slavery I wuz small, but I know I wore a leetle ole slip wid two er three bottons in frunt.
I all de time noticed dey is powerful feared ob de Sesh', Marsa Lyon. De General know dat am so. "'Well, Ham, you must be ready to go back with me when I return. "'Oh, yes, Marsa; oh, yes!
