A FEW SCENES FROM A TRUE UISTORY [Continued.] • " Coward !" muttered Grossman, as he left the counting-house. Mr'. Nnble did not hear him ; and it he had, it would not have altered his ionise. He co:uld see nothing enviable in the reputation of be in..c ever ready for brawls, and a dead shot in duels; and he knew that his life was too important to the friendless Leo to be thus foolishly risked tor the grati fication of a villain. ThiS incident re-. clewed his old feelings of remorse * for the, false position iu which he had placed the young orphan who trusted him so: entire ly., To his generous nature, the ; wroug, seemed all•the gre..ter leeause the object! was so unconscious of it. "It 19 . I who; l have subjected her to tile insolence of thisll vile man," he said within himself. j 'Butt I will repair the wrong. 'lnnocent, eon-1, fiding soul that she is,. I willprinect her.l The sanction of marriage shall shield herd froth such affrinats." Alas for poor human natufe! lie was: sincere in these resolutions"; but ho was ; not quite strong enough to face the prej-, udices of the society in which he lived. Their sneers would have fallen harmless., They could not lave taken from' him a - single thing he really valued.' But he had not learned to understand that the dreaded power of-public opinion i&purely fabulous, when uuaustained by the voice of oonscienc - o. So he fell into the old snare oftuoral . comproiniSe. lie thought the best ire could do, under Life eircuJi-. stances, - Was - to hasten - the petiett of his - departure for the North, to. marry 800 Loo in Philadelphia, and remove to some part of the country where hei private-his tory would remain unknown. To make money for this purpose, he had 'more and- more extended 'his specu lations, and they had uniformly proVed profitable. If Mr. Grossman's offensive conduct had not have Raced upon him a painful consciousness of lug position with regard to the object of his devoted affec tion, he' would have liked to remain . in ! Mobile a fr.tv years longer, and accumu late more: but, as it was, he determined to remove as.soon as he could arrange his, affairs satisfactorily. He set about this in good earnest. But, alas ! the great pecuniary crash of 1837 was at hand.—. By every 'mail came news of failures where he expected payments. The wealth, which seemed so certain a fact a few mouths before, where had it vanished ?-- It had floated away like a prismatic bub ble on the breeze. He saw that his ruin was inevitable. All he owned in the world would hot cancel his debts. And now he recalled the horrible recollection that Leo Loo was a part of his property. Much as he had blamed Mr. Duncan for negligence in not manumitting her. Moth-'. er, he had fallen into the same snare. In the fulness of his prosperity and happi riesl, he did not comprehend the risk - he ' was running by delay. He rarely tho't l o f the fact that she was legally his slave ; land when it did occur to him, it was al l' ways accompanied with the recollection that the laws of Alabama did not allow hici. to emancipate her without sending her away from the State. But this nev er troubled, him, because there was al ways present with him that vision of go ing to the North and making her his wife. So time slipped away without his taking any precautions on the subject; and now it was too late. Immersed .in debt as he was, the law did not allow him to dispose of anything without consent of creditors; and he owed ten thousand dol lars to Mr. Grossman. Oh, agony ! sharp agOny! There was a rneetin- , of the creditors. Mr. Noble rendered an account of all his property, in which he was compelled to include Lou Loo;- but for her he.offe.red to - give a note for fifteen hundred dollars, with good endorsement, payable with in terest in a year. It was ku .wn that hi attachment to the orphan he had educa ted, atrium:lied almost to infatuation; and his proverbial integrity inspired su much respect, that the creditors were disposed to grant him any indulgence not incom patible with their owl. interests. They agreed to accept the proffered note, all except Mr. Grossman. He insisted that the girl should be put up at unction. For her sake the ruined merchant condescen ded to plead with him. He represented that the tie between them was very dif ferent from- the merely convenient con nections which were so common ; that - Loo Lou was really goed and modest, and-so sensitive by nature, that exposure to pub lie sale would nearly kill her. The self ish . creditor remained inexorable. The very fact that 'this• delicate flower had been so carefully sheltered from the mad and dust of the Wayside, rendered her a wore desirable prize. He coolly declared, that ever since lie had seen her in the ar bor, he had been determined to have her; and now that fortune had put the chance in his power, no money should induce him to relinquish it. The sale was inevitable; snd the only remaining hope was that some friend might be induced to buy her. • There was ta leinan in the city Whom I will cell Frank Helper. He was a Kentuckian by birth; kind and open hearted,—a slave holder by habit, not by nature. Warm feelings of reourd had long existed be tween him and Mr. Noble; and to hint the broken merchant applied for advice in this torturing emergency. Though Mr. Helper . Was possessed of but moderate wealth, he had originally agreed to endorse hiS frierld's note for fifteen hundred dol lars ; and he now promised to empower some one to expend three thousand al tars in the purchase of Leo Loo. " It is not likely that we shall be oblig ed to pay so much, 'said he. "Bad debts -rare pouring in upon Grossman, and he hasn't a mint of money to spare just now, however. big he may talk. We will begin with offering. fifteen hundred dollars; and she will probably be bid off for two thou sand." "Bid off! 0 my Gocr." exclaimed the' wretched man. He bowed his held upon his outstreched arms, and the table be neath him shook with his convulsive sobs. His friend was unprepared for such an outburst. of emotion. He did not under stand, rio one but Alfred himself could understand, tha peculiarity of the ties that bound him to that dear orphan. Re covering from this unwonted mood, he inquired whether there was no possible way of avoiding a sale. 0 I am sorry to say there is no way, my friend," replied Mr. helper. " The laws invest this man with rower over you ; and there is noth•._ag lea for us hit to under ndue his projects... It iS a hazardous busi ness, as you well know: — You must not appear in it; neither can I; , far - I am knoivn. to be your intimate friend. But trust the whole affair to me, and I tiiitik I can bring it to a successful issue." The hardest thing of all wa.*to apprise the poor girl of her situation. She had never thought of herself as a slave; and what a terrible awakening was this, from her dream of happy security Alfred dvemed it most kind and wise : to tell her of it himself; .but he dreaded it worse than death. He expected she would swoon ;. he even feared it blight, kill her. Bill: love made her stronger than h e thought. When, after much cautions circiruliicu thin, he ar.ived at the crisis of the story, she pressed her hand hard upon her fore head, and seemed stupefied. Then she threw herself into his arms, i;nd,they Wept, wept, wept, till their heads seemed crack ing with the agony. . . " Oh; the avenging Nemesis;" exclaim ed Alfred at last. "I have deserved all this. It is all my own fault; I ought to have carried. you away from these Wick ed laws. I ought to have married You. Truest, Most affectionate of friends, ,how cruelly I have, treated you! you, who put the welfare of your life's° confidinglyliuto my hands ?" - • She ruse up from his bosom, and, look ing him lovingly in the face. repliedi "Never say that, dear A.lfred.! Never have such a thought again ! Yuu have been the best, and kindest friend Oat woman ever had. If I forgot ;that I was a slave, is it strange.that you should for get it ? But, Alfred, I will never be the slave of any other man,—never 1 I will never be put on the auction-stand. I will die . "Nay, _dearest, you must make no rash resolutions," he replied. "1 have friends who promise to save you, and: restore us to each other. _The tbrin of sale is una voidable. So, for my sake, consent to the temporary humiliation. Will you, darling?" He had never before seen such an ex pression in her face. Her eyes flashed, her nostrils dilated, and she drew her breath like one in the agonieS of death. Then' pressing his hand with a nervous grasp, she answered," "For your sake, dear Alfred, I will." From that time, she maintained -nut ward calmness while in his presence, and lier inward uneasiness was indicated only by a fondness more clinging than evcr.— Whenever she parted from•him, she kept him lingering, and lingering, on the threshold.. She - followed him to the road; she kissed her hand to him till he was out of sight; and then her tears flowed unrestrained. Her mind was filled with the idea that she should be curried away from the home of her childhood, as she had been by the rough Mr. ,Tackson,— that she should become the slave of that bad man, and never, , never see Alfred again, "But I can die," she often said to herself; and she revolved in her mind various means of suicide, in case the ,worst. should happen. Madame Labasse did not desert her in her misfortunes. She held frequent con sultations with Mr. Helper andlis friends, and continually brought messages to keep up her spirits. A dozen times a day, she repeated,— • "Tout sera bien arrange. Soyez tran quille, ma °here Soyez tranquille !" At last the dreaded day arrived. Mr. Helper had. persuaded Alfred to appear, to yield to necessity, and keep complete ly out of sight. He consented, because Loo Loo had said she could not go through with the scene, if he were present; and, moreover, he was afraid to trust his own nerves and temper. They conveyed her to the auction-room, where she stood trem bling amonr , a group of slaves of all ages and all- colors, from iron-black to the lightest brown. She wore her simplest dress, without ornament of any kind.— When they pitied(' her on the stand, she held her 'veil down, with a close, nervous grasp. • "Conic, show us your face," said the aw-tioueer. " Folks don't like to buy a pig in a poke, you know." Seeing that she stood perfectly still, with her head lowered upon her breast, he untied the bonnet, pulled it off rudely, and held up h-er face to public view. There was a murmur of applause. • "Show ;our teeth," said the auctioneer.- But she only compressed her mouth more firmly.- Atter trying in vain -to evax..her, he exclaimed— "Ntiver wind, gentle , nen. She's got a string of pearls inside them coral .lips of here. I can swear to . that,.for I've seen 'em. No use tryin' to trot her out. She's a leetle set up, ye see; .with bein' made muck of.—Look at her, gentlemen ! Who can blame her -for bein' a bit proud? She's a fast-rate fancy article. 'Who bids ?" Before he had time to repeat the ques tion, Mr. Grossman said, in a loud izoice, "Fifteen hundred dollars." This was mt.her a dampei• upon Mr Helper's ngent,-who bid sixteen hundred from the crowd calleu out, " hum4ed." "Two thouf,auci," shouted Mt. Grossman. "Two thousand two hundre other voice. • • "Two . thousand five hu 1 dyed, f) ex claimed Mr. Grossman. • "Two thous.ind eight .huil red," said the incognito agent. • 1 The prize. was now completely given up to the two competitors; and the agent, excited by the comest, went beyond his orders, Until he. bid as high tour thou sand two hundred dollars. "Four thousand five hundre ;"scream ed the cotton-brokeri. There was no use in conte ding with him. Ile was evidently willipg to stake all his fortune upon victory. "Going! Goin ,, ! Going!" 'repeated the auctioneer, slowly.. There was a brief pause, during whieh every pulsation in . . Leo Loo's body seemed to kop. : Then she heard the horrible words, Gone, for four thousand five hundred dollars! Gone to Mr. Grossman !" I They led her to a bench at the other and of the room. She i sat there still as a marble fita. ue, and_al most as - pale. The sudden essation of excited hope had so' stunned her that she could not ,think. -Everything seemed dark and reeling round her.: lii a few minutes, Mi. Grossman was at her side. "Come, tuy beauty," said lie. "The carriage is at the door. If ypu behave yourself, you shall be treated like a'queen Come, my•love " lle attempted to take her hand, but his touch roused her from her lethargy; and springing at him, like a wild cat, she gave him a blow iu the face that made him stagger—so powerful was in the vehe mence of her disgust and anger. _ Ills coaxin , tones changed 'instantly. We don't, allow niggers to put on such airs," he said. "I'm your master. You've gut to live with me, and pu'may as well make up.your mind to it first as last." Ile glowed at her savagely for a mo ment; and drawing from his , pocket an embroidered slipper, he added-- " Ever since I picked up this pretty thing, I've been'determined to have you. expected to be obliged to wait till Noble got tired of you, and wanted to take up with another wench; but I've had,better luck than I expected.". • At the sight of that gift of Alfred's iu his hated hand, at .the soutid -of those coarse words, so different from his respect ful tenderness, her pride broke down, and tears welled forth. Looking up in his stern face, she said, in tunes of the deep est pathos— "Oh, sir, have pity on a poor, unfurtm nate girl! Don't persecute me !" "Persecute you'!" .he replied. " No: indeed, my charmer! If you'll be kind to me, hll treat you like a princess." . Ile tried to look loving, but the ex pression was utterly revolting. Twelve years of unbridled sensuality had render ed his countenance even more disgusting than it was when he shocked Alfred's- yeuthful soul by his talk about "Duncan's handsome wench." "Come, my beauty," lie continued, persuasively, glad to see you in a better temper. Come with ma, and be have yourself." . She curled her lip scornfully, and re peated— "I will never live with yOul Never!" "We'll see about that, my wench," said he. "I may as well take you down a peg, first as last. If you'd rather be in the calaboose with niggers than to ride in a carriage with me, you may try it, and see how you like it. I reckon ,you'll be glad to come to my terms, b....fore long." He beckoned to two - police-officers, and said, ". Take this wench into- custody, and keep her on bread and water till I give further orders." M ejail to whichLoo Loo was con-1 veyed was a wretched place. The walls were dingy, the 'floor covered with putt.' dies of tobacco-juice, the air almost suffo cating with the smell of pent up tobacco smoke, unwashed negroes, and dirty gar ments. She had-never seen any place so. loathsome. Mr. Jtasou's log-lionse was: a palace in comparison.- The prion was crowded with colored people of all com plexions, and almost every form ofi human vice and misery was huddled together there with the poor victims of misfortune. Thieves, murderers,- and . shameless girls, decked out •with . tawdry bits oft-finery, were mixed up with .the modest-loking, heart-broken wives, and mothers ourn ing for 'the children that had ben torn. ! II from their arms, in the recent sale. Some were laughing, and singing lewdi songs.' Others sat still, with tears trieklin down their sable cheeks. Here and th re the fierce-exprqssion of some iutelligenyoung I man indicated a volcano of revengii Seeth ing within his soul. Some were stretched out drowsily upon the filthy floor, their natures apparently stupefied to the level of !routes. When Loo Loo was. brought I in, most of them were roused! to ;ouk at her; and she heard them saying to each other, "By gum, dat ar an't uo nigger!". "What fur dey fetch her here?". 1 "She , be I%:liite . lady oh cfnality, she be."
