ciiArrrit ix.
Wo left Sidney that afternoon, ami
not tunny hours nftotwurds landed In
Detroit, Michigan. Wo hud no exper
ience, on our wuy worthy of being hero
in recorded, uiul wore glad indeed to llml
ourselves so near tho tioint ot separation
from.Btates whorciu were detectives and
deep-.mouthed blood hounds hard upon
tho tracks of u couple ot "Old Ken
tucky's fuvorito Bonn,' as Dick persisted
in characterizing tho two run-uways.
We were late in tho night in reaching
tho depot, and found no little troublo in
uvoidiug being literally curried oil tho
platform uud loaded into ono ot tho
"buBsea" that stood in unbroken lino
along tho puved street, uud whose driv-
era and rustlers wero attaches of tho'
innumerable hotels ot tho city. Hut
not wishing to parley und thereby bring
ourselves under too close- mtrvoilluuco of
tho hordo ot blue-coats whosu lapels
wero adorned with the glittering utar,
wo accepted tho kind invitation of u
littlo Frenchman, who, witli a short
black beard, oycHUHd.irk as night, and
a voice as melodious nu that of a lagoon
bull frog, was coon causing us to be
whirled along at n lapid rato towards
what ho dcclured was tho only tlrst-cliiss
hotel in tho city "Tho Nu polcon"
with tho accent upon tho two terminal
letters. On reaching this womlcttul
hotel, und just as 1 was entering our
names in the register, I could not avoid
casting my eyes uihhi the utTuhlo clerk
who with his piercing black eyes t-eemed
to watch our every expression of counte.

point ot usking mo it I was entirely fa
miliar with tho natneu which 1 was writ

tho sprawling capital II, with which I
had sturtod out with a flourish, with a
capital J und so wrote "Joseph llodkin,"
Dick, who had watched my embarrass

oil in n bold hum), "Archio Rurliiignnio,"
uud wrote oppouilu our tinmen our places
of residence as agreed upon tho day wo
eat in tho littlo back parlor of tho res

Gr
ing pursued by blood hounds ami slave
cntciiers, whose facial expressions scouted
to out vio their brutal, yet not less
tlendish hounds. 1 felt a sort of tremor
run through my veins at tho baro jxwsi
bility of our having been exposed to tho
panto kind of putsuors, und, after sug
gesting tho desiro to get a few hours
sleep, wo weio politely shown up two
long llights of stairs by a gaily attired
young Frenchman, who, as ho left tin in
a largo double bed room, hoped that
"Monsieurs might rest iniperhly." Tiicd
and blerpy though wo had beou, yet
tho Fieiich atmosphere surrounding in
caused us to sit tor some time ruminat
ing. Thorn upon tho table lay a neatly
Dotinu volume 01 me ntu ot turn samo
Napoleon. Dick opened tho bonk and
read a few paragraphs fomethinj' after
tho following order: "Napoleon ISnim
parte, Empoier of tho French, wns born
at Ajaccio, in tho island ot Corsii.-ii, irith
of August, 17(K. At the ago of ten, ho
entered tho military school at jlrieuim,
as a king's pensioner. During that per
iod ho displayed a great aptitude and
predilection for mat hematic:), history
and gcograph. and indillercnco to mere
ly verbal and literary studies. 11 isinan
nor was pombro and taciturn, but as
Ufiurienno pays, this uroso diietly from
the ciieunwluiieo that ho was a foreign
er, poor and unaccustomed to French,
which ho lirst learned at Urlonno, In
October, 1781," but hero 1ho history of
tho great Napoleon wan brought to an
abrupt close, owing to a grutr voion com
ing over tho transom fre m an adjoining
room in lusiiinn aa follows: "Vat you
tain upstard mean vuk' n' up beopleu in
do mtttlo uf do night irdt your tauistutf
pout dat olo fraud ut uPouupurd? (lit
you to slooh purty tun i quick or 1 gits
you oniuo history vat Miakes your pones
neho." Ho Dick throiv tho volume down
with n slam upon Uif littlo table and,
mounting a chnir, rained a stream of
bitter invectives t muugh that particular
transom into t'jo cars ot the burly
Dutchman for fan tipi'eoof tlvo minutes,
such us 1 had thought it impossible for
tho dear fellow to bavo attempted in a
strange hoimo, and that, too, among
strangers. Hut l'dck was more ponetrn.
tlnir than 1. am',, an ho told mo after-
wards, fell Biiro that tho majority ot tho
attaches of tin hotel wero Fronuh, and
that tho Dutchman would get tho woist
ot tho debate. Ho berated tho Dutch,
called them U ie most amusing of names,
and, being something of u uiiilecticiau,
imitated the voice and pronunciation of
that Dutch man to a degree marvelous
to hear. I tried to inako peace between
tho two belligerents, but before 1 could
uccompliK'.i my purpose, I heaid a great
commotio u in the hall, and soon out
door, wh'.oh hud remained unlocked, wtis
thiiHtopon and in canto threo French
men in dishabille, demanding tho caueo
of the disturbance. Dick turned to
them and then nointim: to tho life if
Nii)ioU on proceeded to stale tho euao,
' Tins had 1ho desired elfect, and all three
of tho Fiitnchiuon mounted chairs ami

xak. JLJ XX G?X JcaJrl oc CO,
have listened to tho chattering of Mag-
pies when in tho heat ot passion, to tho
diabolical apeech of a caged Hyena, but
never before heard tho ptiial of tho
curses and bitter epithets that proceed
id out of tho mouths of this trinity ot
Napoleonic devotees. Hut, an tho ptorni
smmi waited by itsown fury -subsided,
tho Frenchmen came down otT of their
poreh. and, with their red tlannels
gleaming in the light of tho gas jot,
giving them tho uppearaucoof heroes of
noiuo bloody battle, I could not suppreps
u smilo. This trio at onco surrounded
Dick, hIiooU his hand threo tunes round,
.ualled him "friend, brother, paid, com
rade, bravo lad," and a dozen other en
dearing nuines, but in pitch a Fronohy
tone as to defy translation -f shall not
ttmicrtuKo mo impossible. J liey soon
nitired, wishing Monsieur happy dreams,
and wo sat looking at each other in
iitunzemont. Then Dick burst out into
a jolly ringing laugh, and wo retired to
our beds to unntch an hour's rest before
tho breakfast gong should sound tho
call to the dining room. Dick, (iod
blow his happy disposition ! was soon in
dreamland, while 1 lay tossing upon my
pillow thinking ! thinking ! Hack to tho
old homestead my thoughts went gloam
ing; buck to tho hunting grounds, tlsh
ponds and widespread elms; back to
tho dear old homo where I llrst uaw the
light of day, and where 1 could stilll hoar
tho voices of loved ones as in years gono
by; back to tho spot where Dick and 1
mounted our tleet steeds and lbd from
home, and. ah, yes ! from Hues and pris
on walls; from iron couches, musty cells
and suits of stripod uniform. I must
havo llnally fallen into a half slumber,
for 1 all at onco became hnlt conscious
of hearing tho booming of cannon, and
inougiit it was the opening salute given
Napoleon by his French subjects tho
timo ho was crowned Emperor. What
was my surprise on opening my eyes to
behold tho pure sunlight ot day Hooding
tho room, and Dick, with chair leaned
back and heels high up against tho par
tition door leading to tho Dutchman's
room, reading in clear and distinct tones
it chapter out of tho history ot tho lito
of tho great NumIcoii. For tho tlrst
timo in the history ot tho past did I feel
provoked at tho dear fellow, and 1 was
about to reprimand him, when to my
amutiemont, I behold the face ot the
Dutchman purplo with rago penetrating
tho open transom. Ho would bulge his
eyes until they scorned on tho point of
(putting their sockets, und gnash Ida
tooth us though grinding glass, and over
and anon shako his clenched list an
tkmgh possessed ot tho furies. I could
not resist tho temptation to cull Dick's
attention to tho scene, and did so by call
ing to him to look up ut tho transom.
This bo did so suddenly by boundiiu: in
to his chair that tho subdued, though
still furious snector at the opening above
tho door lost Ids inuoiiugs und tell to tho
Hour with a thud that seemed to shako
tho very ground. Wo dressed hurriedly
and found our way to tho dining hall,
whore wo partook ot a go d breakfast,
got a glimpse of our nocturnal friend,
who admired not the great Napoleon, as
ho ho sat in a far otT corner ot tho din
ing hall mid bolted bin food like u raven
ous bear.
After breakfasting to our ptomaclm'
delight, wo settled our bills und begun
to arrange for our exit from tho land ot
boasted liberty; tho land where four
million:! of nouls had, not long since,
boon held in galling chains for no other
crime than that of being black; tho
land whom men with guns, und whips,
und liouudn woro held in high esteem
because of their dnring exploits as "slnvo
catcher. '' Yes, wo woro about to tnho
shelter la good Queon Victoria's Domin
ions where hundrod of hounded blucks
had gone for crimes much loss than ours,
tho crimo of being black, or, us tho
ureat pulpit divines woro wont to say,
"beuriug tlto mark of Cain."
Wo had but slight dilllculty In gotting
our "clearance" nt the house of Customs
owing to tho very lean condition ot our
baggage. Without further hindrance,
wo wero soon on oar way for Ottawa, the
capitol of tho Dominion of Canada, and
on our arrival in that delightful city,
were soon captured by one of the irre
pressible rustlers for ono ot the largest
uud most commodious hotels in tho
city. Iluro wo rosted for a day or two,
wruto to our friend, "took in thoslghte,"
und soon felt quite at homo. This is a
grand place tor sconery, both natural
und urtitlcinl, boiog situated as it is 87
miles above the confluence of the river
Ottawa, with the St. Lawrence, 120 miles
from Montreal, 1J.1 from Kingston and
Til) from New York. At tho west end of
tho city, tho Ottawa rnslies over tho
magnillcont cataract known as the
Chuudinro Falls; mid nt the north-east
end, there urn two othor cataracts, over
which the Uiedan tumbles into tho Ot
tawa. The scenery around tho city is
scarcely surpassed in Canada. A bus-
ponsion uruigo iinngn ovor tho (Jhniuliero
Falls, connecting Upper and Lower Can
add. In 18,'iS, Ottawa was chosen to ho
tho seat of governmont of tho then
province of Canada; and iu 1800, tho
l'rinco of Wales laid tho cornor-stono of
magnillcont parliamentary olllces. They
are among tho tluest structures on tho
American continent. Ottawu had at the
timo we wero thoro a population of only
about l."i,OOo, but now has near .'10,000;
returns two members to the Ilousa of
Commons, and ono to tho provincial par
liament. Hut us wo shall have much to
do, lint only with thii beautiful littlo
city, but with various other points, I
must hasten along,
Wo had not been in Ottawu ninro than
a week when Dick, to my surprise, in
formed mo that ho had uddrcs-ed a let
ter to tho good Quakers, giving them tlm
facts relative to our troubles at homo
und begging thorn not to cast him oil i h
u viigubond. I was astounded ut wluit
tho impulsive fellow had so rashly done,
and had no doubt but that in so doing
ho had, ut one fell stroke, swept nwuy ml
his hopes of oao day becoming tho hus
bund ot Niioma, tho pure and lovii g
Naoma.
Hut ho argued that to keep the necret
of our ti'miMt clandestine exit fr. in Sid
ney until a later day would only noato
iu tho minds of thoso uoblo people (tho
Quakers) a distrust such us would bo
dilllciilt to explain away uud overcome.
Nohlu-lioartcd Dick ! how I admire his
riper judgment. For ot all things that
must strike deep into the heartu of thoso
who want to be trusted, that ot practi
cal deception hurts them tho most. Dick
was right. Wo hnd not long to wait un
til, umong other letters recoivod from
friends, there came a double letter, ono
from tho good old uncle und mint, and
tho othor from Nnomn. They road us
follows: "Friend Richard, (for such wo
must now cnll thee) your letter of recent
date came duly to hand, and wo scarcely
noeil toll theo now shocked wo woro on
rending its contents. Theo perhaps
knows that our society Quakers or
Friends us wo uro called uro not given
to the use of carnal weapons; that our
religion bus taught us not to resist nn
enemy, but to overcome him with kind
ness. Theo knows, too, how very guard
ed wo are over the peace anil well-being
ot our niece, Nuomu, und how painful it
must bo for us to bo compelled to re
quest theo to forogo thy anticipated
pleusuro of corrosjxinding with her.
Aside from nil this, Naomu has felt ho
keenly the disappointment incident to
our prohibiting the intended inter
change of letters botweon theo mid her
self, as to cause us much uneasiness ot
mind as to what tho results may bo.
Novortholess, wo do honor theo for tho
full confession theo has made, und, feel
ing thut wo would still know more of
theo and thy friend William, we request
theo to again write us.
Wo havo permitted Naomu to com-
municato to theo and, without so much
as requiring her to allow us to read her
epistle, havo enclosed the samo herein.
Ever thy friends,
l'lll.NKAH AM) RUTH Ul.OOMKII.'
Then came Naomu's letter which reuil
as follows:
Kioiiaiii) N.mi.oi:, Dkak Fkiknii:
Theo will, I trust, pardon mo for writing
to theo lifter huving been ho deceived by
the only man in whom I hnd over nhiced
confidence to that degree that could pos

and will feel tho full force of what I
have said. For, as I havo already said,
I acknowledged thy protestations. Nay.

own good timo 1 should become thy

matrimony; joined with (Sod's sanction,
