IDA MAr.-Spe ,ulation regarding the authorship
Of this new and popular novel is now at an end.
The Author is Mas. T%oRREY, the widow of the
martyr who died the victim of slavery.
The Portland (Me.) Inquirer, makes the an
nOuncement as follows:
1t gives us pleasure to be the first to announce
upon reliable authority, who of all the women Of
this country, is l. encefurth to he rec0gn zed, hon
ured and celebrated the world over, rs the authorizes
of Ida May. In making the announcements, we
violate no vow of secrecy, and we are unwilling
longer, that our readers curiosity should be unsat-
isfed, especially, that they should be unnecessarily
delayed in sharing with us the qualification of
knowing that to the widow Of tile taNentea ToJTey,
are they indebted for this beautiful and powerful
production. To us there is more than Il poetic fit
ness and justice in tbs fact-it is a most fitting
and striking .retributive providence. The heroic
Toriey died in prison, the victim of Slavery-a
noble martyr in the cause Of human freedom.
Most nobly does his widow avenGe him by this
work Of genius and love. Mrs. Turrey's maiden
name was .Nary lie, daughter of DR.. lde Of Med
way, Mass. She felicitously names her literary
offspring, Ha Nay, after herself, with a slight
variation. 10 womun's genius do we owe the two
most successful and splendid productions Of the
Gay. Let the women of Maine he proud Of the
fact, and by the reading and circulation OF such
Anti Slavery works, and the wholesome agitation
thence resulting, do their part in establishing uni
versal freedom in this and every land.

THE kNowNoTHINGs AND THE SLAVERY QUESTION.
We transfer to our columns a part of an admir-
able article from the National Era, on this question.
In our judgment, never has the Era better served
tho cause of freedom than by Its independent,
able AID faithful exposure Of the narrow principles
and pro-slavery tendencies Of the secrete organic.
alton.
The statements of the Era regarding the utter
confusion and indeed destruction of the anti.sla-
very political party, cannot be gainsayed and its
history forcibly illustrates the truthfulness of one
of the principles which the Era announces, viz :
that a man in a false position is not to be trusted,
however honest his purposes or benevolent his
sympathies. Says the Era, " We ,co,ld not trust
an angel in a urong position" Right, unquestion-
ably right. Because abolitionists have heretofore
recognized this truth and made faithful application
of it, not to angels" but to Free Sellers. They,
and the Era among them, have felt that we have
done them grievous wrong. But the only help for
TINS lack OF confidence is, in the getting out of the
false position" whether they be Free Sellers,
hnownethings shareholders, or any other class.

DID NOT HURRAH ENoUGH.-A French
man, who knew very little of our language,
unfortunately got into a difficulty with
back countryman, and fight he must, and
that too, rough and tumble. But before
he went at it. he was very anxious to know
what he should cry if he found himself
whipped. After being informed that when
he was satisfied, all he had to do would be
to cry out enough at it they went-but
poor Monsieur, in his difficulties, forgot
the word, and finding h,s eyes likely to be
removed from their sockets, he began to
cry out, but instead of saying what was
told him, he commenced bawling out hur-
rah hurrah hurrah J
To his astonishment, the countryman
kept pounding the harder, when Monsieur,
finding there was no use following, turned
and went to work in such good earnest, that
it was not long before the countryman
sang out, iu stentorian voice, enough /!
Say that again, said the Frenchman.
Enough, enough cried he again.
When the Frenchman in turn exclaimed,
Dat is de we're word / was trying to say

WASP VS.. CHICKEN LoUsE.-Not long
since party of four (among whom was
polite gentleman from Plaquemine who
makes frequent calls upon his country
friends) were sitting in pleasant retreat
in hospitable house on the other side Of
the river, enjoying the nervous and fascina-
ting game of euchre.
The game had proceeded very excitingiy,
and somewhat contentiously-as matter
Of course-when young gentleman (son
of the old gentleman) happening to get
both bowers, ace, ktug and quevu, his face
lighted up, and he was about to goit alone
with rush. when an exclamation from
him, quite foreign to the subject, startled
the company and nettled the old 'un:
'Murderp he shouted, nervously kick
ing the table aside and slapping both bis
hands upon his thigh, as if he suspicioned
the honesty of his neighbor, something
has given me tremendous bite 7
Nonsense said the old 'un, 'don't
make fool of yourself, it's nothing but =
chicken louse-play the game or We will

Then it has got confounded sharp teeth,
repned the young gent, somewhat sootned,
but rubbing his pantaloons most unmerci-
fully. His cards, however, were too rich
to be neglected for trifes so down he
knuckles the right bower and the left, and
SO on, making the old 'un's eyes fairly glis-
ten as he raked off the tricks, when sudden
ly the young 'un gave spasmodie, per.
pendicular leap of about foot and hall
from the seat of his chair, kicking the ia.
