What Riht have Black Mothersn to Love their Children.

Some years ago the Rev.. Jolfn G. Fee ot' Kentucky bought from his father (an Elder in the O. S. Presbyterian “Churchy an old slave woman who had nursed him in infancy. He at once freed her, and she fouiuLu home in the village of Felicity, some ten or twelve miles across in Ohio. About a year ago, having been long from her children, the old woman returned over to h*r old home in Kentucky to see them. The meeting of this old woman with her children, alter the years of absence in Ohio.ewas very affecting, but their master immediately ordered her off’ the premises ami forbade her to see them again. This poor, comfortless black Rachel made a feeble effort, since she could not go to her children, to have them come to her in a land of freedom.; but she was arrested,‘dragged to a Kentucky jail, and will probably spend the remnant of her days in li Kentucky penitentiary. So much for the crime of a mother’s love.— Cincinnati Gaiette.
