      UNCLE TOM'S

      PICTURE BOOK.

      THE SALE OF LITTLE HARRY.

      Come read my book good boys and girls

      That live on freedom's ground,

      With pleasant homes, and parents dear,

      And blithesome playmates round;

      And you will learn a woeful tale,

      Which a good woman told,

      About the poor black negro race,

      How they are bought and sold.

      Within our own America

      Where these bad deeds are done,

      A father and a mother lived

      Who had a little son;

      As slaves, they worked for two rich men,

      Whose fields were fair and wide—

      But Harry was their only joy,

      They had no child beside.

      Now Harry's hair was thick with curls

      And softly bright his eyes,

      And he could play such funny tricks

      And look so wondrous wise,

      That all about the rich man's house

      Were pleased to see him play,

      Till a wicked trader buying slaves

      Came there one winter day.

      THE SALE OF LITTLE HARRY.

      Oh children dear, 'twas sad to hear,

      That for the trader's gold,

      To that hard-hearted evil man

      Her own sweet boy was sold.

      The trader and the rich man sat

      Together, at their wine,

      When in poor simple Harry slipped

      In hopes of something fine.

      He shewed them how the dandy danced,

      And how old Cudjoe walked,

      Till loud they laughed and gave him grapes,

      And then in whispers talked.

      The young child knew not what they said,

      But at the open door

      Eliza, his poor mother, stood,

      With heart all sick and sore.

      Oh children dear, 'twas sad to hear,

      That for the trader's gold,

      To that hard-hearted evil man

      Her own sweet boy was sold.

      And he would take him far away,

      To where the cotton grew,

      And sell him
