MS Is singular ehOugn, lnOugh we, as we
had the article carried to our room. Where is
the young woman who formerly owned it 3
Who was she
We made several inquiries, bu, could not as
certain who she was or what had become of
her. The bureau had been carried 10 The auc-
ton room by an individual whom Mr.. Bailey
never saw before, and all our inquiries TO ascer-
ain wha, became Of the young lady seemed
lruiiless.
Several months passed by, and still We heard
nothing of the young lady, when one day not
knowing but We might get some clue TO the for
mer owner, we took out all the drawers separ-
aely, and examined them. We saw no writing
whatever In the back of The under drawer we
noticed that small piece Of pine had been in
serted. II looked sif IL had been TO stop
defect. Plying in with a knife it came out,
when TO our asionshment we found several gold
pieces 10 the value Of about fifty dollars, besides
note for twenty-five hundred dollars, with in
!erest, made payable to Sarah -, when she
should become of age; it was Witnessed note,
and had been running about ten years, signed
by very wealthy man, whose reputation for
honesty was not exceedingly good. Without
mentioning to single individual what we had
discovered, we Immediately renewed our efforts
to ascertain who Sarah - was, and where
she could be found We learned that girl Of
this name formerly lived with Capt, P,
and did the work of The kitchen. OF him we
could obtain but little information. His wife
recollected the girl, and spoke of her in the
highest terms. She believed she had married
mechanic, and retired from the city, but his
name she could not recollect. By repeated in
quiries we asieriained that Sarah with her hus-
band lived on small farm on the road that leads
to Ssco. Taking an early opportunity, we star
ted for the residence Of the young woman.--
After several inquiries upon the road, We were
directed to The house. Ii was pleasant silu-
alton, little from the road, lille every thing
locked neat abou, the dwelling. As we drew
up to the cottage, v no should come TO the door
but the very woman had so long been anx-
ious to find She recognized me at once.
"Why Mr.. c., how glad am to see
you! Where in the world did you come from!
Walk in and take seat"
Her husband present-an intelligent
looking man-io whom she presented US.
81 have often thought of you," she remarked
.sand when in Portland have been tempted tc
call and see you; but although have not call
ed be assured have not forgotten your kind,
ness, and shall never forget II"
"Bu, you seem happier than when last saw
you"
"Be assured, sir, am. My husband has
hired this little farm, where We have resided
for the last two years, and We make comfort
able living, and are as happy as we could wish
In the course of few years, if we have oul
health and prosper we are in hopes to purchase
The farm"
"Wha, does The owner value ii at 2"
"He values il a, about fifteen hundred dol
lars. We have had TO purchase great many
farming things, or we should have made pay
ment towards it."
But what has become of our old bureau!"
al fear | shall never see il again" she re-
piled; and after pause said-"l believe have
never told you how have been siiuated!"
"You never did"
"Wheu my mother died, i. was thought sht
left some property in the hands OF an uncle o
mine iha, would come to me when became
Of aoe: bu, he said il was not the case. Will
him resided short time"
"Was your uncle's name Mr.. -, SAID we
mentioning the individual, who had signed the
: note in our possession.
; "Yes, sir-tha, was his name. He was We
nv unkind to me-made me work so hard and
was SO cross that was obliged TO leave nun
and earn my living by doing the WORK o'
