JENNIE’S DISAPPOINTMENT.
BY M. ,E. M.
CHAPTER THIRD.
Mrs. Hayne’s residence was an imposing
brown-stone front, with a broad piazza,
and heavy collonades. It was the finest
house in the village, and Jennie was fond
of comparing it to “a city set on a hill,”'
for it wus built on an elevation, that over
looked the rest of the town. The grand
est houses are not; always the prettiest
however, and to my mind, the patronage
that nestled on the bank of, i he river, half
hidden by trailing vines and mantling, ivy,,
had a far lovelier ; home-look, than the
stately palace that frowned above it. But
whether a home be happy or not, depends
less on itsdlf and surroundings, than on
the people within it, and there were very
happy hearts in Mattie Haynes’home.
Mrs. Haynes was the widow of a mer
chant, who had made his fortune in the
neighboring city* and on retiring from
business, had - planned his pleasant home
here. Bat he had only enjoyed-it a few
short months, when death called him from
the pleasures of time, to the unending
bliss of eternity. : He had been a Ohris
tian man, and his wife had indurated''for
him, not as we moam for those who have
no hope. She knew that at the appro
priate time, Glod would bind again, in
heaven, the Of earthi- 1

nie Martin/ a flower .of June,
in the imson merino that had
been made for tbs ' party/emergcd from
her own door, ahd ’Went trippihg up the
the steep • street)-- to- her mend’sf home.
She was dressed in her best, "and it
may please, -niy/;little lady readers to/
know that her. best consisted of a grey
cloth cloak, and a : .beaver hat trimmed
with scarlet velvet, and a long, curling
plume. "Very neat land ’tasteful Was Jen
nie’s attire, but;-more jhan onepasser-by
looked smilingly, not- at the dress,, but at
the bright faiie,‘.with the sparkling, broiva
eyes, and the dancing smiles, that' seemed
to proclaim its gladness to all the world.
Truly, the apostle said well, when:he told
us, that our adorning'should be that of the
meek and ''"When a;tair face
is destitute of the inward light, that tells
of a heart at peace, its beauty is incom
plete, while the plainest features are love
ly, when illumed by a contented; earnest,
affectionate soul. ' ' ;
Jennie lifted the latch of the iron gate,
a little timidly’, and walked very s’qftly'up
the broad walk, to the hall door; For just
in front of the piazza, sunning himself in
the. fading afternoon light, lay, Leo, the
big Newfoundland! dog. You remember
popr; ChriStM,.looking up at the House
Beautiful, and longing to enter it, but
fearing becajuse of, , the lions that stood
sentry-like at the porch. So. felt the little
maiden, as sh'e passdd the great dog, and,
safety .up the stops, rang the bell.. , She '
faneied that her light tread had not been
heard by Leo, hsfc. she was mistaken,for
at the very moment that she had’swung
open the gate, he had ‘flashed a look at
her from his half-shut eyes, and had satis
fied himself that the person entering was
not' an intrudeV/irat'4 ‘guest. - . Dogs'some
times show a perfection of instinct, that is

Mattie hhsWerfedtke door in person.
Mrs. Haynes standing at the parlor
door, was much amused at the meeting of
the two friends, who had parted at.the se
minary;, only, two hours ago.
“Oh I you darling 1 I’m so glad you’re
come,” cried Mattie,' throwing her arms
around Jennie, and kissing her. ’
“And I’m so gtad that I’m in,” replied
Jennie, “for indeed! trembled all over,
while I stood' at the dqor, on account of
Led;”...TV : " '■
“ Oh!. Leo won’t hurt you!” said Mat
tie, “ dear old'fellow, he can tell one of the
seminary girls a; half miie off, but if you
came to steal, or trample; theflowers, he’d
Jie sure to see-you; Leo knows as much
as' shflje men, Jennie. But 1 here you’re
standing with jour things oh. Come see
mother a momeiit, and then I’ll take you
up 1 ' to my 4 ro6m : . ' ,Oh I here is mother,
now! 1 Mother,"ttiis is Jennie ,Martin.”
Mrs. Haynes was a pale, sweet looking
lady, in deep mourning. The dark hair
wtm folded plainly, under a widow’s cap,
and she wore, no ornament of any kind,
but she smiled very pleasantly on her
daughter’s little friend, and bending down
; ave her a welcoming kiss.
“ Show Jeiinie all your treasures, dear,”
she said to Mattid, and when you’re tired
of the playroom, come to the parlor, and
I’ll entertain you both.”
Mattie’s room was a little chamber,
opening out of her mother’s. It was
called the blue room, for it was papered
with a pale blue paper, the carpet was an
oak ground, sprinkled with bine forget
me-nots, and the furniture was also bine.
Even the white curtains at the window; 1
were looped, back with an azure cord and
tassels. Jennie laid her hat and cloak
upon the bed, brushed her hair before the
little mirror, and then said:
“Now, Mattie !”'
“ Come!” said Mattie.
Up the winding stairs they tripped to
a room that ran along the whole length of
the house. Its floor was uncarpeted, but
it was as white and smooth as scrubbing
and polishing could make it. At one end
of it Stood the rocking-horse, the sleds
and bdyish playthings of Mattie’s bro
thers, and at the other, ’ there were all
sorts of toys, such as parlor-,
skates, balls, &c., which the children used
in common. These were neatly arranged
on shelves. Then there were little Oabi
netS’ filled with bits of .stone and rock, and,
shells, which had been brought from .dif
ferent parts of the earth, by Mattie’S ai
de, the captain, and: there were . ■curiouSi
coins, the pride of Mattie’s brother. All
the children’s books were. here too, ar-.
ranged very neatly, and nicely, and there
were pictures on -the walls, and little
chairs and footstools, standing here and
there.
A curtain was drawn across one end of
the room, and Mattie said,
“ There’s my own particular comer.”
She drew the curtin aside,;,and. politely
allowing Jennie to enter first, they were'
in Mattie’s baby-house. '
A rug was spread over the floor, to
form a carpet for the doll’s parlor. The
dolls were of various sizes, and were
dressed to represent their ’ different’ sta
tions in life. Some of them were fine'
ladies in silks and satins, with flowers on
their, heads, and fans Jin their hands.;
Others.were simply attired' in,;ginghams
and calicoes, and somd : were -iwworking
costume,< ; One, supposed. to be sick, was
tucked up m bed, aM’ a handkerchief was
bound around,its!, brow.
1 Jennie and Mattie played merrily-with •
with the dolls ; pretending that they were;
visiting, each other, and that. these were,
their children.’ After'Awhile they fired 0f :
all .the-.amusements however, and went
down into the parlor, to find Mrs.
Haynes.
. It was already dark, and the curtains
were drawn, the gas was burning, ..and
Mrs-. Haynes; was sitting by a center
table r looking over a portfolio of' engra
vings. The little girls went to her side,
and soon became very much interested id
the pictures. One of them represented
the opening scene of the revolutionary
War. In Jhe fore-ground stood' a little
Old-fashioned meetihgrjhouse, with a patch
Of green sward in front of it, oh-which
were grouped a few men in the costumes
of eighty years ago. Dashing around
corner, came a troop of mounted sblaidni,7
in the; red coats of the British. The forer
most of these had raised his carbine, and"
had taken aim .at the farmers, who stood
'by the church.
“Explain the 'picture, mOther dear,”
said Mattie; “if you please,” she added
quickly. In that home, no one offended:

PBIHO.E YOLOO AND HIS OHILDBEN.
[Transcribed from an old volume.]
Little Jumbo and Zairee were two
pretty negro children. Their father was.
a prince, who lived near-the; coast of
Guinea, in , Africa I .' : Ships from' Europe
and America-often .go there for gold dust
and ivory; and I am very, sorry to bay
that both Europeans and Americans have
sometimes stolen the negroes, and sold
them-for ‘ slaves; It happened that an
English vessel was Once wreckedmot’ far
froth where ‘ Jumbolived. 1 Every body on
board perished excepfeone.gentleman, who
clung to a mast and was thrown upon the
sand; Jumbo’s father took, this unfortu
nate stranger to his home; and Warmed and
fed him as if he had been his own son. 1 '
He lived several months with- the negro
prince, during whicK time he ‘ehjpyefl him
self in hunting, fishing and riding: the
English king could not have treated a
guest with more kindness, and generosity.
The two children, Jumbo and Zairee were
sfery much attached to the white man;
they often teazed Mr. Harris 1 (for that
was'the gentleman’s name,) to ; live always
in Africa with them;. but this he would
not promise—for though he felt very
grateful to his benefactor’s family, and
even loved them dearly, he could not con
ceal that his heart longed for white faces,
and his nativ&language: The,; children
would sigh deeply when they heard him
say that he must go back to England, and
would ask, “May Jumbo, and Zairee go
too ?” Their mother would say, “ What!
and leave me all alone!” This always
made the affectionate little creatures very

sorry: and they would look up in her. face
sorrowfully, as they replied, “Oh, no!
mother would be very sick if Jumbo and
Zairee went away.”
At last, a British vessel brought letters
and money to Mr. Harris, and he made
preparations to return home. He ear
nestly entreated to take the children with
him; promising to send them back after
they had been a few years at school
The prince wag Willing to hate them go
for he said they would thei: be! able to
teach their pebpfe :-a great' many new
things; but the mother grievid and was
so much troubled at the thought of parting
with them, that Mr. Harris, vould not
consent to separate, them, 'bi t he .did,
•every thing he could to show his gsati
tudh:v // ' ' Si ; : , ;
He gave the prince a beaut
a pair of pistols, and a, hunting horn,,
yrhich he had ordered to be brought from
England; to his wife he gave a lafge shawl
a!nd some, ornaments; Jumbo hs i a drum
and fife, and Zairee a doll almost as big as
herself. 1 The, children were ver • anxious
to go on board, the vessel. the day on
which Mr. Harris was to sail, bu as they
had been several times, and as their far
ther was absent hunting, they were
strictly forbidden to go near the sholfc.
Mr. H. did not. tell them what j hour the
vessel would sail, because he kfifew they'
would cry if they thought they should see,
him no more. He was therefore:' far:
'away, almost'out of, sight ' of' thei African'
coast, before Jurubp and Zair.ee'Mew any,
thing of the matter. At first thpy cried
bitterly ;ahd when they had. dried theif
jtears a little, they thought they would
■run' off in search 1 of the- vessel.; They
ran along th!e. sea-Shore hand in hand for'
n’early a-mile; without seeing any thing of;
the ship. At last they grew weary, and sat;
down on the beach and picked .up . the
p’rfettiest 'Shells they could find. While
they were they saw aboat
at a distance; as it came hear they-per
ceived it to'be filled with white men. The'
foolish little creatures. were overjoyed:
for they Had never seen any white men,
b,ut Atr. Harris,..and tbe crew of the ves
sel in which he sailed, and tlfey: were
now quite sure they would hear of their
friend. They forgot bow often- their care
ful mother h.ad told that : cruel white;men
came to .steal 'away little negro children.
: The boat camb nearer,' and at length the
white ’ toien leaped on the beach, spoke
very kindly to the Children, and offered to
give them some beads for their shells.
Jumbo and Zairee, .in- broken English,
asked where Mr. Harris was, for they
wanted to see him,., The men told them
that he was in a ship, a little way off, and
.that if they would junip Into the boat,
they should go and see hint. Jumbo was
Tor going directly; ‘but Zairee ’wanted to
go back and tell her mother, because she
said her mother Would cry if she could not
find them. '
The sailors promised her that : they;
should be carried back to their mother in
; a little while, and the poor children were
tempted to go ln the boat .They' were
cruelly deceived. The vessel on boanj
which they were* carried was an Ameri
can slave ship, and Jumbo and Zaiiee
were tied together and put in a dark hole,
with a .great' many - wretched pegrop/
T>h,-then: howlkitferlyitihey wept to/lMnlp
-they had disobeyed: their good mother-by
tunning I ’atv : ayt , , ;She; poor wpm‘ah ; ! 'wafe
almost crazy, when she found they were
gone. l All the' country round Was search
ed in vain.
; At first she thought they had wandered
on the shore, and had been eaten up by
crocodiles. Crocodiles abound in Africa*;-
theyare vqrylarge, ugly creatures, with
a monstrous'mouth, and a back covered:
with scales so hard that it is said to be bul
let-proof.'. They, ojften seize' upop, people
.and devour them; and this was thought to
■be the fate of poor Jumbo and his, sister,
until 'a huntsman brought in word that.ho
had seen a ship off the coast, and white
men pr.owling about the shore. ;
This almost broke the mother’s heart';
for several days. she'would ; not taste' any
food. She feared that her husband would
be very angry Wit h. her; for ailpwihg the'
children to be ought: of her sight. And
ithen she ’saiid
"times over that they had : been'swallowed'
by crocodiles, than to be off-; and,
made slaves by the'yyhite mem ' !She jjated
the sound of ■a.white, man’s name.'ir.She,
would not even allow Mr. Harris to' be
mentioned before her,: for' she could not
help Sometimes suspecting; that he had
returned and ■ stolen her treasures -from
her.
When Jumbo’s father returned he was
very angry ; not with his wife; —for she
was so sick and .broken-hearted thathe
could not be angry with her, but he vow
ed revenge against all' the white men.
Never again, he said, would ; he save one
from death; if they ever were shipwrecked
on his shores, they should, perish. Many
a white man was afterwards murdered by
the prince and his tribe. Was it not me
lancholy that the cruelty of white men
should thus turn the kindness of a savage
Heart into gall and bitterness ?
As for Jumbo and his sister, they had
ai wretched voyage. The -want of pure
air made them ill, and for many days
Jumbo thought Zairee would die. Five
of the negroes did die, and were thrown
overboard. The hard-hearted captain did
not seem to pity his miserable captives in
the least, he was angry to have - them <*e,
because he thought he would lose *H>ney.V

; this hour of distress-, , it was a, great, consoc
iation to: Jhmbo and- Zairee: that they were
not separated'from each other• they were
put up 'together, and the same planter
feought them both. For the first two or
three years they did* not find slavery So l
fead: a thing as they had feared. It is
true'they were kept'afwork all the time ;
but they were- comfortably clothed .and.
fed and nobody abused them.
But at the end of that ' time, a new
overseer was appointed, who \yas a very
cruel man. Their master whs kind
hearted,- but. too indolent, to take
much trouble 5? and he let: the overseer of
the slaves do pretty’much as he pleased:'
Almost every day some one or other of
'■‘sieves had a severe whipping by order of
this.- wicked tyrant;. and. be made them

beloved Africa; and.of tbe pleasant-times
they used to have sitting uildef Cocoa
frees, eating yams and .milk for, supper.
T Jumbo Had homo several cruel'beatings
"himself .without'complaint,; .but one day
when the overseer ordered Zairee to be
tied to a post and receive'twenty lashes,,
merely because' she' had broken On earthen
pitefeer, 'he could endure it no longer.
He.ran to the post, seized hold of his sis
ter and tried !: to prevent her being tied.
This did no good. The poor boy was
forced away ;: and Zairee was ordered to
receive forty lashes and her brother seven
ty-five.
.After this dreadful punishment, it wah
many; days before Jumbo could get out of
his, mise»Mj>je/bed. His. heart, was. full.; of
fury towards the white, men. Alasl caia;
we blame this'poor heathen* fordt ? Eve*
a Christian would'have found it very hard
to forgive such injuries ; and Jumbo had,

; Jumbp dropped his broom and looked
'up eagerly—the name sounded like some
thing he had known and forgotten. “I,
bad a son named Jumbo,” continued the
black prince, “but the accursed white
man stole him from me when he was only
bine years old. Jumbo sprang on his
feet and uttered a shriek of joy. He had

plaints, relieved their wants, arid riever al
lowed his overseer tb pdnish them without
Bis knowledge..
Yoloo and Jumbo talked a great deal :
about making themselves known to Mr.
H., but they did not dare to talk in the
presence of . the overseer, for they were
obliged to speak in English,' for Jumbo
had forgotten- his. native-:tongue. -One
day, however, as they were, busily at work
pickiiig cotton, a gentleman •on hofSeback
stopped and spoke to Yoloo. “ You seem
to-bea very industrious fellow,” said he,
“•what is your name?” • “My -name,is

very .expressively at. Jumbo.. ’ “Yoloo!”
exclaimed the i stranger,, “and, were you a
prince in Africa?’?! V“I was!” Do you
remember Mr- Harris the White man ?•”
’ “He lived with me many months-”
“God be praised,” said he.;, and forget-,
ting black and white, master and slave, he
fell into Yoloo’s arms and clasped him
warmly to his bosom. Mr. Harris imme-’
diately expressed his wish to: buy Yoloo
and Jumbo. Their master finding., him
eager for the purchase, demanded - $BOO
apiece for-them. The next day Mr: H.
paid the money and took the two negroes
home with him. ' He then went in search
of poor .Zairee. The news had got
f.abroad,that;My. H. owed a debt of ;grati-i
