ORIGINAL POETRY. THE TOURIST'S PORTFOLIO.-No. I. THE SLAVE DEALER. BY T. PRINGLE, Esq. The following anecdote was related by the Rev. T. R. England, at an Anti-Slavery Meeting at Cork, in September, 1829. “ One day I was sent for to visit a sailor who was approaching fast to his eternal account. On my speaking to him of repentance, he looked sullen, and turned from me in the bed ;-of a great God, he was silent-of the mercy of that God, and he burst into tears. 'Oh!' said he, I can never expect mercy from God. I was ten years on board a slave ship, and then superintended the cruel death of many a sick slave. Many a time, amid the screams of kindred, has the sick mother, father, and newborn babe, been wound up in canvass and remorselessly thrown overboard. Now, their screams haunt me, night and day, and I have no peace, and expect no mercy!'” From ocean's wave a wanderer came, With visage tanned and dun : Scarce knew her long-lost son; By the ill course he had run. And dark thoughts in his brain; That mother strove io vain, Racked by remorse and pain, Would o'er his features stray, And he tried with ber to pray, Still scared good thoughts away. “ Which water cannot wash; But dropped from the gory lash, And with each stroke lest a gash. While Negro blood sprang high; My soul from murder's dye; That woman's wild death-cry!
