Hot weather brings out snakes and slaveholders, and I like one class of the venomous creatures as little as I do the other.

There are wrongs which even the grave does not bury.

Lives that flash in sunshine, and lives that are born in tears, receive their hue from circumstances.

DURING the first years of my service in Dr. Flint's family, I was accustomed to share some indulgences with the children of my mistress

The war of my life had begun; and though one of God's most powerless creatures, I resolved never to be conquered.

But I now entered on my fifteenth year - a sad epoch in the life of a slave girl. My master began to whisper foul words in my ear. Young as I was, I could not remain ignorant of their import

When they told me my new-born babe was a girl, my heart was heavier than it had ever been before. Slavery is terrible for men; but it is far more terrible for women.
