Ir took but it short tiine,lxi familiarise Tom with all that was to be hoped or feared in his new way of life. He was an expert and eflici- ent workman in whatever he undertook; and was, both from habit and principle, prompt and tuithful. Quiet and pesceable in his disposi- tiou, he hoped by’ unremitting dili are, to avert from himself at least is portion Ofille evils of his condition. He saw enough ofabuse and misery_to make him sick and weary, lint he

Legree too si ent note of Tom's avriilabilit . He rated him as a llrst-class hand; rind yet is felt is secret dislike to liiin— e native anti- pathy of bad to good. He siiw plainly that when,aa was often the case, his violence and brutality fell on the helpless. Tom took notice ofit ; for, so subtle is the atmos here ofo iniou, that it will make itself felt wit tout wor s, and the opinion even of it slave may annoy is master. Tom in various ways manifested e. tenderness of feeling, a coniiniseration for his fellow-iiufl'er- ers, strange and new to theirs, which was watch- ed with ajculous eye by Legroo. He land ur- cliased Tom with ii. view of eveiituxilly mu ing him it sort of overseer, with whom he might at times intrust. his ulliiirs in short nliseiices ; and, in his view, the firat, second, and third requisite for that place was Iiarilness. Lt-gree made up his mind that, as Tom was not hard to his hand, he would lisi-den him forthwith; and some few weeks after Tom had been on the place be determined to commence the process.

ne moi-nin , when the hands were mustered for the field, om noticed with surprise it new comer among them, whose appearance excited his attention. It was is woman, tall and slen- derly formed, with renisrksbly delicate hands and feet, and dressed in nest and res otalile garments. By the appearance of her see, she mi ht have been between thirty-five and forty ; an it wasn face that, once seen, could never he forgotten—one of those that at n glance seem to convey to its an idea ofis wild, painful, and romantic history. Iler forehead was high, and her eyebrows marked with beautiful clear- ness. Her straight, well-forinetl nose, her final -cut mouth, and the graceful contour of her and and neck, showed that she must: once have been beautiful; but her IlIl'8 was deeply wrinkled with lines of pain, and of proud and bitter endurance. Her complexion was sallow and unhealthy, her cheeks thin, lier features sharp, end her whole forni enunciated. But her o e was the most remarkable feiiture—so large, so heavily black. overshadowed by long lashes of equal darkness, and so wildly, mournfull , despairing. There was it fierce pride and deli- ance in ever line of her face, in every curve of the llexib e lip, in every motion of her body ; but in her eye was a doe , settled night of an- guisli—an expression so liopeless and unchang- ing as to contrast feurfiilly with the scorn and pride expressed by her whole drmeitnour. ere she came from, or who she was, Toin did not know. The first he did know, she was walking by his side, erect and proud, in the im grey of the dawn. To the gang, however, she was known: for there was much looking and turning of heads, and ti smothered yet it - srent cxu tation union the miserable, ragge , alt‘-starved creatures rounded.

“ Got to come to it at last—glad of it!” said one.

“He! he! he!” said another; “ you will

The woman took no notice of those taunts. but walked on with the same expression of angry scorn, as if she heard nothing. Toni had ul- wa s lived iiii-ion refined and cultivated people, an be felt intuitively, from her air and bearing, that she bsloii to that class, but how or why she could fallen to those dc ading cir- cumstances he could not tell. e woman neither looked at him nor s ke to him, than h, a.l‘l1 the way to the field, ad): kept close at is

Tom was soon busy at. his work ; but, as the woman was at no great distance from him, he often glanced an eye to her, at her work. He saw at a glance that her native adroitness and handiness made the ta to her an easier one than it proved to many. She picked very fast and very clean, and with an air of scorn, as if she despised both the work and the disgrace and humiliation of the circumstances in which she was placed. the course of the day, Tom was working near the mulatto woman who had been bought in the same lot with himself. She was evidently in a condition of great suffering, and Tom often heard her re ng,as she wavered and trembled, and seein a ut to fall down. Tom silently as he came near to her, transferred severe bendfnle of cotton from his own sack to hers. on‘t don't !" said the women, looking at you into trouble."

The woman seemed stimulated, for a few ino- ments, to an unnatural strength, and worked with desplegate eagerness.

" See t t u kee to dirt av," said the man, “ or er’ll wish yer‘s dead to-ni ht, I reckin !"

“ 'lYhut I do now!” Tom hear her say; and again he heard her say, “ 0 Lord, how long? 0 Lord, why don't you help "

At the risk of all that he mi ht suffer, Tom came forward again, and put al the cotton in his stick into the woman

" b, you mustn't! you donuts what they'll do to ye ." said the woman.

“ I can bar it,” said Tom. “ better’n you ;,‘ and he was at his place again. It passed in a.

Suddenly the stranger wpman whom we have doscribcd, and who ad, in the course of her work. come near enough to hear Tom's last words, raised her heavy black e es, and fixed them for a. second on him; 1. en, taking a gupntity of cotton from her basket, she placed

"You know nothing about this lace,” she said, “ or you wouldn t have done but. When you've been here a month, ou‘ll be done liel - ing on body; you’ll find it and enough to to e care 0 your own skin."

“ The Lord forbid, missis !".ssid Toni, using instinctively to his lleld com iiinion the respect- ful form proper to the higb- red with whom he had lived.

" The Lord never visits these parts,” said the woman, bitterly, as she went iiimbly forward with her work; and again the scornful smile curled her li s. _

But the action of the woman had been seen by the driver across the field : and, flourishing his whip, he came a to her.

“ What ! what!" c said to the woman with an air of triumph, “ iron is foolin'! Go along! yer under me now—mind yourself, or yer l cotch it !”

A glance like sheet-liglitning suddenly flashed from those black e es ; an , facing about, with quivering lip and ilated nostrils, she drew her- self up, and llxed a glance, blazing with rage and scorn, on the driver.

she said, “ touch me, if you dare! I've power enough yet to have you torn by the dogs, burnt alive, cut to inches‘ I've only to say the word!"

“ What de devil you here for, dent" said the innit, evidently cowed, and aullc-nly retreatinga. step or: two. *‘ Didn‘t mean no llt|l'l'ft, Misse Cass !"

H eep your distance, then!" said the woman. And, in truth, the man secriicd greatly inclined to attend to something at the other end of tho lleld, and started oil‘ in quick time.

The woman suddenly turned to her work, and laboured with n despntch that was perfectly as- tonisliin to Tom. She seemed to work by magic. ‘Before the do was through, her basket was filled, crowded own, and piled,-niid she had several times ut largely into Tom's. Long ii.l'tci- dusk, the w ole weary train, with their baskets on their heads, defi ed up to the build- ing sppropriated to the storing and weighing the cotton. ee was there. busily conversing with the two drivers.

" Dat sr om’s gwine to make is powerful deal o’trouble ; kept 8. piittin’ into Luc ’s basket. One o‘thesc yer (lat will get all er niggers to feelin’ ’bused, ifmris’r don't. watch him !" said Sambo. _

“ Take care. Sam ; I shall begin to think what‘s the reason for your spite agin Luc ."

" Ho, ho; haw! hsw! haw!" laughed both the sooty wretcbes, and the diabolical sounds seemed, in truth, a not tinspt expression of the fiendish character which Legree ve them.

“ Wal, but, mea'r Tom and Mines Cassy, and dey among ‘em, tilled Lucy‘s basket. Irutlier guess der we-iglil.'s in it, intis'r.” .

Tettering with weakness, she came forward, and delivered her basket. it was full weight, as Legree well perceived ; but, electing anger, he said 2; _ '

‘, What, on lazy beast! short again! Stand aside, you’ catch it, pretty soon !‘

The woman gave a an of utter despair. and sat down on it ti .

The person who had been called Misse Cassy now came forward, and with a he hty negli- gent sir; delivered her basket. As a e deliver- ed it, Le ee looked in her eyes with a. sneering yet 011%: ring glance.

She ed her black e es steadly on him, her lips moved slightly, on she said sometliingien French. at it was, no one knew; but - gree's face became rfectly demoniacal in its expression as she spo e ; be half raised his hand, as if to sti-ike—a gesture which she re rdad'wil.h fierce disdain, as she turned and wsl ed sway.

“T ere," he said, as he stopped to rest; now will ye tell inc ve can't. do it‘ '

“ Yea, mas'r” sai Tom uttin up his band, to wipe the blood that tric led own his face. “ I_'m willin’ to work, night and day, and work while there's life and breath in me; but this

When he spoke these last words, a thrill of amazement went throu it every one ; the poor woman clasped her ban a, and said, *‘ 0 Lord !" end every one involuntar- ly looked at each other and drew in their breath, as iftto prepare for the storm that was about to iirs .

Lcgrec looked stupified and confounded; but last burst forth,- “ What ! ye blasted black beast! tell me ye don't think it right to do what I tell ya ! What: have any of on cussed cattle to do with think- ing what‘s right! I'll put 9. stop to it! Why, what do ye think ye are!

“ I think so, inas’r,” said ' om. “ The poor oi-ittur's sick and feeble ; ’twould be downright cruel, and it's what 1 never will do. not begin to. Mns'r, if you mean to kill me, kill me; but, as to my raisin my hand agin any one here, I never slisll—I‘ 1 die first !”

Tom spoke in is mild voice, but with it deci- sion tliat could not be mistaken. Legree shoe with anger; his eenisb eyes glared fiercely, and his ver wliis ers seemed to curl with s- sion ; but ike some ferocious beast, that p eye with its victim before he devours it, he ke t back his strong impulse to proceed to inime '- nte violence, and broke out into bitter raillery.
