saying to the colored
children, with an authority which shall shake the very pillars of the
Union, 'Go to school, boys! go to school!'
"Nor can we, for the tears which dim our sight, speak as we would of
the wretched master and his amiable slave in the cars. The sketch
reminded us of the best in 'Uncle Tom.' We need books filled with such
