Why, it was only the other day I was asked if you were one of my daughters." Mrs.Ellis and the girls laughed at this sally of their father's, who asked Mr.Walters if he had as yet any house in view.
"There is one of my houses in Winter-street that I think will just suit them.

The former tenants moved out about a week since.

If I can call for you to-morrow," he continued, turning to Mrs.Ellis, "will you accompany me there to take a look at the premises ?" "It is a dreadful long walk," replied Mrs.Ellis.

"How provoking it is to think, that because persons are coloured they are not permitted to ride in the omnibuses or other public conveyances! I do hope I shall live to see the time when we shall be treated as civilized creatures should be." "I suppose we shall be so treated when the Millennium comes," rejoined Walters, "not before, I am afraid; and as we have no reason to anticipate that it will arrive before to-morrow, we shall have to walk to Winter-street, or take a private conveyance.

At any rate, I shall call for you to-morrow at ten.
