CHAPTER v.-THE INFANTICIDE,
moh may il ever stand alone accurst,


The last of murders, as it is the worst"
George Lilo.
Towards tho hour of three, on damp fogpy
morning, in cold, scantly furnished room sat
Arabela ST. Lacy; she crouched down upon
the cold hearth, and stared vacantly around as
she mechanically rocked the starving infant,
which chung with death-lke tenacty to her
breast. The little sufferer raised its emaciated
arms and looked imploringly upon its mother,
as its parched lips parted from burning thirst;
it rolled uneasily from side to side, low moan
ever and anon escaping il asst endured the pangs
of hunger. Its breath came ha d and gasping-
ly, and its little hand was entwined around its
hair, Wills! the other was forced down its
mouth, and ground between its toothess gums
iiom very excess Of hunger.
The mother beheld her childs suflerings with
fearless eyes, for the fountain of grief was long
since exhausted; she placed it to the breast, but
sustenance had not passed the lips of the mo-
ther for eight and forty hours, and the infant
sank back, whilst not scadng tears rolled down
the hoilow cheeks Of that chld, scarce six
months oid The chill wind swept through the
creVlces OF the d.apidAted building, and cut to
the very bone the almost nude frames Of mo-
ther and child; she pressed her babe to her bo-

CHAPTER IIi.-THE SUICIDE.

Thyself 70 be thy proper hell"


The lovely moon shono full upon the silent
city of fair London; not sing 10 ind cation Of
life could be discovered, save the measured cry
ofthe guardian Of the night, whose deep tones
echoed along the deserted streets. A silence
vast and profound brooded over that mig hty
city: it seemed as if all were wrapped in calm,
holy reposo. But who can tell what scenes
were occurring at the midnight orgies, or what
dark-stained crimes were being enacted beneath
the misty veil of night!
Presently, the distant sound Of bell iloated
upon the night-air. Another and anothe,
now pealed forth their startling chimes, and
then the awful cry of "FlRE!" shot like an
electric flash through the city. 1t was echo
cd from north, soutL, east and west; and soon
were heard the cries of ten thousand voices;
and then cane laundering along the heavy
engines, followed by the tramp Of million
footsteps, hurryng towards the scene Of con
Migration.

BUSINESS AND COMMERCE OF WILMINGroN,
NC. 1t appears that Wilmington, in North
Carolina, is place of more business than is
generally supposed. The Philadelphia North
American says: .....
Its population exceeds 5000 souls. 1t has
nine steam saw mills, running 80 saws, which
cut annually 100000 feet of lumber, valued
at 100000. Several Of these establishments
have planning mills attached; and it is estimat-
ed that 100000 are annually expended at this
place in the manufacture of lumber alone
Wilmington has also eleven turpentne dstille-
ries, running 81 stills, which consume annually
100000 barrels of crude turpentine, valued at
100000. 1t is estimated that $500, 900 is en-
ployed in the manufacture of spirits of turpen-
tine. There are annually shipped from the
city, of tar, $4,000 barrels; rice, $50, 900 bush
els; slaves and shingles, 100000; and large
quantities of tobacco, cotton, fiaxseed, bees
wax, manufactured cotton goods, Sc. At this
time there is about being established an extern
sve cotton mandatory there, which, as we'll
as every indication of manufacturing enterprise
in the South, is to be regarded as a sign of pro-
misc.
We heard yesterday of the purchase of So
900 barrels of turpentine from the Wilmington
manufacturers in one day, IN consequence of
the anticipated sudden rise in the price of that
commodity.
