WOMEN OF DISTINCTION.

In obedience to this message Harriet moved after dark and found it just as she supposed, wagon, horse and food for her use. Again she was off on a safe journey for the night with these helps.

We might gather much more of interest from the writings of Emma P. Telford, to whom we are very thankful for much of the above, but space being limited we must stop here, after giving one of Harriet's songs. When leaving for the North the first time she sang as follows:

I am gwine away to leab you,
We'll sing and shout ag'in;
Dere's a better day a comin',
We'll sing and shout ag'in.

When we git ober Jordan,
We'll sing and shout again;
Makes me sorry for to leab you.
We'll sing and shout ag'in.

A partin' time is comin',
We'll sing and shout ag'in;
I'll meet you in de mawnin'.
We'll sing and shout ag'in.
