CHAPTER XIII.

The elderly woman, who had ex-
pressed more strongly by her manner
than in words, her disapproval of Mrs.
Speare's conduct in shutting the door
so rudely in the face of stranger
who had asked humbly for shelter, felt
troubled whenever a thought OF the
incident crossed her mind. The read
er will understand why this was so,
when told that she had child who
was wandering in forbidden paths.-
Mrs. Grand, that was her name, start
ed for home, unaccompanied by any
one, about half past nine o clock. She
lived in Callowhill street, not far from
Second.
She could not help looking around
her, constantly, and narrowly observ-
ing every female she met. As she
passed into Callowhill street, her eye
ran along the market house.
"What is that 2" she said, pausing,
as she saw something she was unable
to make out distinctly.
Crossing over to the market house,
she walked down it for few yards.
"Bless me! !" she calculated, stop
ping by the stall upon which Anna
had sunk down exhausted, and where
she was now sleeping soundly. " 1t
is a woman! And young creature
too" she added, new interest awak-
ened in her heart. " Perhaps the same
that Mrs. Speare turned from her door
so thoughtlessly." "
Mrs. Grand laid her hand upon An
ma, and spoke to her kindly. But even
kind words, that half an hour before
would have been so welcome, were
not heard. More effectual means were
taken to arouse the sleeping girl.
mercy! where am | !" she ex-
claimed, starting up, on being heavily
shaken by Mrs. Grand, and looking
eagerly at the person who had broken
in upon a slumber that was sweet, for
it brought unconsciousncss.
"In very unfit place for young
girl like you," replied Mrs. Grand, in
as firm a voice as she could command
"Would to heaven l had better
place in which to find rest-even if il
were the rest that knows no waking =
returned Anna, in mournful accents.
"Who are you? And what are you
doing here ?" asked Mrs. Grand.
II am stranger in the city. ! came
here to seek friends +; but have fount
none."
"Will you go home with me ?"
"With you ?" Anna looked earnest
lily into the face of Mrs. Grand, upo1
which the light of lamp fell. "Yes
If you will only shelter me for sin
gle night, and then advise me how t,
act."
"Come, then.' And Mrs. Gran,
placed her hand upon the arm of An
Ina, who did not hesitate a moment t,
accept her kind offer. They wake,
on in silence, until they came to
small house near Second street, tn
residence of Mrs. Grand.
AS soon as they had entered, tn
woman who had taken Anna hom
with her, assisted her to remove he
bonnet and shawl, and then, after lool
: ing her for some time in the face, t,
read her character and quality Of min
as far as it was possible for her to d

after pause. ..~
ayes. My trunk is in the Office
there" .... .....
Had you not better have it brought
here ?"

" | am, certainly. Do you know
your way there 2" .-.....
Z" No, ma'am. But you can direct
me-"
Suppose go with you?"
I" 1t must be a long distance from
here. l am afraid it is too far for you

:" Would you like to have me accom-
pany you ?"
piled Anna.
About ten o'clock Mrs. Grand and
Anna went for the trunk. They had
it taken to the house of the former.
So far, everything tended to confirm
in the mind of Mrs. Grand the state
ment made by the young stranger
Still, she kept her mind active, and
observed all she said, and every move
ment with the closest scrutiny.
"Will you take this little bundle
for me to No. - Second street? 1t
has to be left there before one o'clock,
and it is now half past twelve. You
will save me walk, and feel rather
tired,' Mrs. Grand said to Anna, as
they both sat sewing, towards the
middle of the day.
"Oh, yes," was smilingly replied
Give me the direction, and l will go
there for you with pleasure"
Mrs. Grand gave the direction, and
Anna took the package as she desired.
1t was in returning from this errand,
that old Mr.. Markland, her uncle, saw
her, and remembered that she was the
same individual he had seen weeping
in the street the evening before.
The reader understands by this
time the true relation which the prin-
cipal individuals in our story bear to
each other. We can now go on and
bring out clearly those points of our
narrative, to give force to which the
history of Anna Gray has
been introduced.

CHAPTER XIV.

l called in at the store, this morn
ing, to get that advertisement prepar-
ed" Mr.. Markland said, during the
dinner hour, ON the day after his un-
successful effort to discover the resi-
dence of the young stranger in whom
he had become suddenly, and, to him
self, unaccountably interested. But
you were too much engaged to attend
to it. Will you have time this after
noon ?"
81 expect So" coldly replied Mr..
Grant.
Nothing more was said. After din
ner Mr.. Grant said to his wife,
"What in the world has come over
your brother Can it be possible that
he has suspicion of the real truth.
Can the girl he spoke of having seen
last night, be the one who called upon
you? And does he really dream that
she is Annals child?"
"Heaven only knows You must
not put out the advertisement"
Il may not be able to help it. Your
brother seems bent on having it done"
"And the moment it appears, the
whole matter is at an end"

easily, and commenced pacing the
floor.

aloud, yet speaking to himself. 1t

"Ruin you'll" CALCULATED Mrs. Grant,
in voice of alarm.
Eyes, Mary. Ruin me !" returned
Mr.. Grant, passionately. :" I have had
that money in my possession for years
and it cannot now be withdrawn"
Several minutes elapsed before any
thing more was said Mr.. Grant con-
tinuing to walk the floor in an agita-
ted manner. At length he paused be-
fore his wife, and said,

"How 2"

one to offer her Inducements to return
to Cincinnati, or so to some other
place, where the advertisement might
not meet her eye"
i Mrs: Grant shook her head.

1t was hardly sun rise, the next
morning, when Mr. Markland came
down and went to the door for the
newspapers. He first opened the "Ad-
vertiser," and ran his eye hurriedly
over it. But no where could he find
the notification for which he was in
search. The Gazette was next ex-
amned, but with no better success.
This is too bad ~ exclaimed the
old man, throwing down the papers,
and beginning to walk the floor with
a quick, nervous step. "Too bad !
What can he mean by such outrageous
conduct Does he really intend to
put me off, still, as he has done for
years ? Has he, actually design IN

Erecutors Of The late
Thomas Markland.

1t you like the form, just add your
name to the advertisement, and have
it inserted in the - Gazette, and
the Advertiser tomorrow morn
ing" said Mr.. Markland, after Grant
had read it.
The merchant conned it over delib-
erately, and then said,
Yes; | suppose this covers the
whole ground. l will see that it is
DONE
"You won't neglect it, Mason ?"
Neglect t." in half offended
tone. "No, certainly not. Why
should neglect it ?"
Very well. We will see what
comes Of this" said the old man to
himself, as he left the store of his
brother-in-law, and, scarcely thinking
why, walked up Second street, until
he came to the neighborhood where
he had seen Anna in the morning.
His eyes were all about him, but the
form he so much desired to see did not
present itself. With feeling of dis
appointment, he returned home, where
he did not arrive until after dark. Tea
had been served earlier than usual
and Mr. Grant had gone out. Mrs
Grant was in her own room. Ella
waited on her uncle at the table but
was silent. There was look and
manner about her father and mother
that had, insensibly, thrown a shade
of pensiveness over her gay young
heart. Mr. Markland's mind was too
much occupied to notice this. After
eating lightly, he arose, took lamp,
and retired to his own apartment.
Strange that the thought of that
girl should press itself so constantly
upon me !" he said, seating himself by
table in musing attitude. "Can it
be possible that she is No, |
will not think so. 1t is mere romance.
And yet, in real life, things have oc.
Cured far moro improbable. There
must be some cause for this suddenly
awakened interest in a total stranger
Annals child? No! Still, even that
may be. Oh, what would not give
to know the truth All me What
heavy burden Of reproaches is mine.
How could | have grown cold and in
different towards one SO worthy the
name of WOMAN as my twin-sister ?
Pride, pride--thou art hard hearted
demon! My life for years seems to
have been false dream-a state OF
moral insensibility. But am awake
now-fully awake. And if justice
can be done, it shall be done. To-mor
row the notice that should have beer
given years ago will be made. If this
young stranger be Annals child
strange thought !-she will at once
come forward and prove her identity
She is innocent Of that am sure
And innocence is the groundwork o

like this, with snares all around, wh'

the sake of this girl, or any one else.
l am not, if all my affairs were brought
to an issue, worth sixty thousand dol
lars"
"Then Annals child cannot, and
shall not have dollar. She has been
raised to help herself, and let her still
continue to do 50. To make her sud-
denly rich, would be as great an evil
as to reduce our children to poverty"
There was an angry bitterness in
Mrs. Grants tone as she spoke.
"But, stave off this advertisement,
day after day, if possible. You may
yet succeed in delaying it long enough
to make our position secure"
depend upon it, will try. Your
brother will have to be much more de-
cided and peremptory than he now is,

When Mr.. Grant went to his store,
he found Markland already there. He
was at desk, writing.
Here is the form of an advertise
ment, Mason" he said, handing the
merchant a paper as the latter came
in. Mr.. Grant took it and read,-

ter of the late Thomas Markland of Philadel-
phia or any OF her children, be living, this is

tendency would be to ameliorate the con-
dltlon of that race. Many of the States
/ took measures 10 abolish slavery; and it
is well known fact that the belief was
cherished by leading men, both OF the
South and the North that the institution of
slavery would gradually decline, until it
should become extinct.
All slavery has its origin against natu-
raj right.
If IN making the necessary rules and
regulations respecting the public lands, a
territorial or temporary government is
requisite. Congress has the power to es-
.tahlish it. The power to acquire carries
with 1t the power to govern. Congress
can exercise no power prohibited by the
Constitution, nor has it power to regulate
the internal concerns of a State. If Con-
gress deems slaves or free persons Of col
or injurious 10 Territory, il has the pow
er TO prohibit them from becoming settlers
therein. Where Il Territorial Govern
ment has been established on Slave Ter
ritory, it has uniformly remained in that
condition so when The Territory was
free; and this was attended with satisfac-
tory results. The sovereignty of the fed
eral government extends to all Territory
of the United States. If we have the
right to acquire Territory, we have the
right to govern It, and this has always
been exercised.
The Constitution was framed for the
whole country, and the prohibition of
Slavery north Of $3.50 was constitutional
Where there IS no local law abolishing
slavery, the master cannot control the
will of the slaves by force, and the pre-
sumption Is in favor Of freedom. The
master, IN going into a Territory, does
not carry with him the law of the State
from which he moves. Slavery, he re-
peated-or property in human beings
does not arise from the international or
common law, hut from a mere municipal
regulation. There was no Just ground
for the argument that this was exclusively
a Missouri question. Dred Scott and his
family were free under decisions given
within the last twenty-eight years. A
slave who acquires his freedom by his
removal TO another State, cannot be re-
duced to slavery by his returning to the
State from which he emigrated. So far
from this being merely a Missouri case,
il IS one which comes under the twenty
fifth section of the judiciary act, and,
therefore, may be brought for the revis-
ion of this Court from the Supreme Court
of the State Of Missouri.

The Garden

The first earth stirring of Spring should
be done in the garden. Operations may,
and should be commenced here even be
fore the frost has left the ground.
Every farmer has the material for a
hot bed at hand and it requires but little
labor to get it together, and the directions
here given VIII show any one how to put
the material together so as TO ensure sue
.cess. Try i for once, YOU who have not,
and see if it does not pay, in the enjoy
ment Of those fine, early tomatoes, cab
bages, lettuce. Cucumbers. &c.
The hot bed may he made any size to
suit Your wants. One from SIX to eight
feet long is sufficient for most, while one
four feet will DO for many.
1t should be from three to four feet
wide, two and a half to three feet high
on the north side, and the south side about
half that height. and the ends should slant
from the back or north side, to the front
or south side. This can be made of
plank or boards, by mailing them to four
posts or pieces of joist, putting one in each
corner. The top is to be covered with
sash and glass.
If desired, a cheaper covering may be
made as follows:
CLoTH COVERED EfoT BEDs-A trans
parencv, made by stitching cotton cloth
upon a frame, and brushing it over with
a composition made after the following
directions:
To one pint of boiled linseed oil, add
one ounce of white wax; heat, and when
thoroughly mixed. add half an ounce of
sugar of lead, ground with a little OIL
One or two applications of this mixture
with a brush, viii render the cloth trans
parent. This kind Of covering possesses
some important advantages over glass
The plants do not require watering so
often-grow more healthy than under
giass-nor are they ever struck down or
checked IN their growth by the heat of the
sun, and still have plenty Of light.
Hot-beds should face to the south or
southeast, and should be in dry place.
To prepare the hot-bed itself, after de-
ciding upon It's position. sink d pit some
twelve or fifteen inches below the surface,
Of the size of your hOt-bed frame. if To-
Gated where water will not stand-0r II
may be commenced on the surface and
banked up on the outside-fll the pit, and
a little more, with fresh manure from the
horse stable that has been placed in
heap and turned and mixed several times.
Tramp 1t down hard, and then cover it
evenly to the depth Of about six inches,
with rich, fine mold; place your hot-bed
frame over the whole, and in few DAYS
all viii become nicely warm and fit to re-
.ceive your seed. If the mold has be-
come white, or gives off a rank smell by
he time you wish to put in your seed. put
in little fresh mold. Il IS well 10 sow
your seeds In rows, and label them with
their proper names. that there NAV be no
