ConclusionTHE BOY SLAVES.CHAPTER I.THE LAND OF THE SLAVE.Land of Ethiope! whose burning centre seems unapproachable as the frozenPole!Land of the unicorn and the lion,--of the crouching panther and thestately elephant,--of the camel, the camelopard, and the camel-bird!land of the antelopes,--of the wild gemsbok, and the gentlegazelle,--land of the gigantic crocodile and huge river-horse,--landteeming with animal life, and last in the list of my apostrophicappellations,--last, and that which must grieve the heart to pronounceit,--land of the slave!Ah! little do men think while thus hailing thee, how near may be thedread doom to their own hearths and homes! Little dream they, whileexpressing their sympathy,--alas! too often, as of late shown inEngland, a hypocritical utterance,--little do they suspect, while gliblycommiserating the lot of thy sable-skinned children, that hundreds--aye,thousands--of their own color and kindred are held within thy confines,subject to a lot even lowlier than these,--a fate far more fearful.
