284 Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.
The next morning, she and her uncle started on
their journey to the village in New York, where she
was to be placed at school. It seemed as if all the
suns-hinle had gone away.'iy little room was dreadfully lonely. I was thankful when a message came
from a lady, accustomed to employ me, requesting me
to come and sew in her family for several weeks. Oni
my return, I found a letter from brother William. He
thought of opening anl anti-slavery reading room in
Rochester, and combining with it the sale of some
books and stationery; and he wanted me to unite with
him. We tried it, but it was not successful. We
found warm anti-slavery friends there, but the feeling
was not general enough to support such anil establishmenlt. I passed nearly a year in the family of Isaac
and Amy Post, practical believers in the Christian doctrine of human brotherhood. They measured a mani's
worth by his character, not by his complexion. The
memory of those beloved and honored friends will
remain with me to my latest hour.
