The following sketch " of torture which

is true in all its particulars:
A short time since, k ladv who mores in
Jhe highest circlet of society in " this city,
thought the had reason to believe that a
(colored girl employed in' her family as a
domestic had pilfered several small articles
Jabout the house. One morning the ladv
iMrew from'tbe Philadelphia Bank the sum

rest in silver. She carefully wrapped th)
Jmoney in the corner of heriiankershiefand
f aiely pinned it inside the bosom of he
Iress, which she carefully placed in . her
vardiobe and put on i her dishabille and
iroceeded to look alter her household. .
Several hours elapsed when she , all at

Thus it will be teen that a poor little
friendless colored girl honest ss the sun

Dear CoLONEt: To-morroTtr. we

proper to address you a few lines. As
you are well aware, the object nearest

and, so far as 1 have been able, I have
provided for her. , i.. :
onoula a fall, I leave her entirely
with ; you and your wief but I have
written to my brother, requesting him to
tarowms brotnerly protection over her:
and if, at any time you think fit o send
her over to him, he will receive her as his
own child, ant) protect her as 'such.
Should she remnin' with you I wish
that she should receive as good an
education ss her little means left het
WillaQbrJ; and above all things, teach
her that truth and virtue are to woman,
what tbe soul is to the body the life ot
its life. Teach her that to bejust to all
in thought in word in deed, is the
true the great aim of. a good mind;

that purpose, seldom fail to live -in
