ociety, the superintendent being a man who would adorn any
station, you cannot fully conceive with what feelings I read, in one of
Hattie's little papers from the North, these lines, set to music for the

dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty." "Oh,"
said I, "how prejudiced you all are!" Whereupon they all laughed. "Now,"
said I, "you think, no doubt, that the author of such a piece is malign.
I know nothing of its origin, but I venture to say it was written by one
