THE SLAVE-OWNERS.

Epigram by G. P. R. James, Historiographer to the Queen, author of "Darnley," "De L'Orme," "The Gipsy," "The Life and Times of Louis the Fourteenth," "Tales of the Passions," &c. &c.

Surely these men must have very black hearts

To treat the poor blacks in this way;

Rather than suffer such terrible smarts,

I wonder they don't run away.

G. P. R. J.
