His warp had been by the angels spun, And his weft was bright and new, Like threads which the morning upbraids from the sun, All jewelled o’er with dew. And fresh-lipped, bright-eyed, beantifnl flowers, In the rich', soft web were bedded; And blithe to the weaver sped onward the hours— Not yet were Time's feet leaded. But something there came slow stealing by, And a shade on the fabric fell; [fly. And I saw that the shuttle less blithely did For thought hath a wearisome spell. And a thread that next o’er the warp was lain, Was of melancholy .gray ; care. Jan. 29, 1852. 51—lv DAWSON A. WALLER, attobmby awd coonsellok at law, Spring l*lac«, Geo.

But still the weaver kept weaving on, Though the fabric all was gray ; And the flowers, and the birds, and the leaves were gone, And the gold threads cankered lay. And dark, and still darker, and darker grew Each newly woven thread ; And some were of a death-mocking hue, And some of a bloody red. And things all strange were woven in-— Sighs, down-crushed hopes, and fears; And the web was broken, and poor, and thin, And it dripped with living tears. And thc weaver fain would- have flung it aside, But he knew it would be a sin : So in light and in gloom the shuttle he plied, A weaving these life-chords in. And as he wove, and, weeping, still wove, A tempter stole him nigh. And with glozing words he to win him strove, But the weaver turned his eye— He upward turned his eye to heaven, And still wove on—on—on! [riven, Till the last, last cord from his heart Was, And thc tissue strange was done. Then he threw it about his shoulders bowed, And about his grizzled head, And gathering close the folds of his shroud, Laid him down among thc dead. And after I saw, in a robe of light, The weaver in the sky; The angels’ wings were not more bright, And the stars grew pale it nigh. « And do you suppose your master will really sell yon for that ?” k 0 yds; ho- help for me now ; all de men in de world couldn’t help me now; kase when Masa Willum say one thing, he no do anoder.” « What is your name ?” « Moses, sah ” ■«« What is your master’s name r” «« Massa name Coloner Wiliam C—— << Where does he live ?” « Down hit de Eas’rH ShbnK.” ««Is he a good master!

As I said, he is my foreman, and that he might be available at any moment I might want him, I built his quarter within a hundred yards of my own house; and I have never rung the bell at any time in the night or morning, that his horn did not answer in five minutes after. But two years ago he got rcligon, and commenced what lie called family prayer—that is prayer in his quar ter, every night and morning ; and when he began his prayer, it was impossible to tell when he would stop, especially if [as he termed it) he got happy. Then he would sing and pray and halloo for an horn* or two together, that yon might hear him a mile off. And he would pray for me and my wife and children, and all my brothers and thir children, and our whole family connection to the third generation :. and sometimes when we would have visitors Mo ses’ prayers would interrupt the conversa tion, and destroy the enjoyment of the whole company. The women would cry, and the children would set me almost frantic; and even after I had retired, it would sometimes be nearly daylight before I cdtfld go to sleep; for it appeared to me that I could hear Moses pray for three hours after he had finished- I bore ita^long as l could, and then forbid his praying so loud any more. prom’sod obedience, but he soon trans gressed i and my rule is never to be whip, batwhenever a negro proves. incorrigible I sell him- This keeps them in better subjec tion, and is less trouble than whipping.

When he reached the head of the stairs, he was startled by seeing Moses in the middle of thc floor, down upon one knee, with his arm around the Colonel's waist, and tlkihg most rapidly: while thc Colonel stood weep ing audibly. So soon as thc Colonel could sufficiently control his feelings, he told Mr. B. that he had never been able to free him self from the influence of Moses’s prayers, and that daring the last year he and his wife and all his children had been converted to God. Moses responded : n Bress God, Massa C., doe I way up her, I neber forgit you in my prayers; I oilers put de ole massa side de new one. Bress God! dis make Moses tink ’bout Joseph in de Egypt.” The Colonel then stated to Mr. B. that his object in coming to Baltimore was to buy Moses and his family back again. But Mr. B. assured him that was out of the question, for he could not part with him; and he in tended to manumit Mo&ci and his wife at forty, and children at thirty-five years of age. Moses was not far wrong in his reference to Joseph. For when Joseph was sold into Egypt, God overruled it to his good, and he obtained blessings that were far beyond his expectations; so with Moses. Joseph event ually proved the instrument of sating the lives of those who sold him. Old Moses is still living, and doing well. He long since obtained his freedom, and at present occupies a comfortable house of his own; and I suppose sings and prays and shouts to his heart’s content.—Methodist Protestant. —Or wife, I suppose he calls her now, for soon after he got religion, he asked me if they might be married, and I suppose they No, no, massa, none O’ dat; it’s'because were.” •i What will you take for her and the children?” *i If von want them for your own use, I will take seven hundred dollars; but I shall not sell Moses nor them to go out of the State.” •i i wish them for my own use, and will give you tbe fourteen hundred dollars.” Mr. B. and Col.
