We have found mothers with their sucking babes in their arms, standing night after night in their classes learning the alphabet.
_Q._ Are the negroes grateful for attentions and favors?
_A._ They are; I have met some who have been so much affected by acts of kindness, that they have burst into tears, exclaiming, 'Massa so kind--my heart full.' Their affection to their teachers is very remarkable.

On my return lately from Kingston, after a temporary absence, the negroes flocked to our residence and surrounded the chaise, saying, 'We glad to see massa again; we glad to see school massa.' On my way through an estate some time ago, some of the children observed me, and in a transport of joy cried, 'Thank God, massa come again! Bless God de Savior, massa come again!' Mr.R., said he, casually met with an apprentice whose master had lately died.

The man was in the habit of visiting his master's grave every Saturday.

He said to Mr.R., "Me go to massa grave, and de water come into me yeye; but me can't help it, massa, _de water will come into me yeye_." The Wesleyan missionary told us, that two apprentices, an aged man and his daughter, a young woman, had been brought up by their master before the special magistrate who sentenced them to several days confinement in the house of correction at Morant Bay and to dance the treadmill.

When the sentence was passed the daughter entreated that she might be allowed to _do her father's part_, as well as her own, on the treadmill, for he was too old to dance the wheel--it would kill him.
From Bath we went into the Plantain Garden River Valley, one of the richest and most beautiful savannahs in the island.
