The complaint made by the Wash
ington Union, that the Republican
members of Congress have provoked
the recent agitation of the Slavery
question by answering the calumnics
in the Presidents Message, reminds
us of the case of an lrishman, who APP

magistrate to swear an assault and
battery against one of his countrymcn.

How, how will she receive mo ?,

How, how will she receive me ?"
These words were scarcely muir.
INJURED, when the door opened and a
middle aged woman entered. Anna
tried to rise, but she had not the
strength to do So Mrs. Grant, for she
it was, advanced close to her, regard
ing her as she did so, with a cold look
of inquiry. AS Anna did not, because
she could not speak, the lady said
You wish to see me, believer"
Yes, Ma'am," was timidly replied.
"On what business, may l ask 7"
The words were formal and cold as
ice.
"You had a sister named Anna -
"What !" And Mrs. Grant started
as if pistol had been exploded close
to her ear, her face flushing, and thel
turning deadly pale.
Anna arose, and looked steadily in
to her aunt's face, for her aunt it re
ally was). ......H.
You had a sister named Anna,
she repeated. "She removed to the
west many years ago, and
Who are you that speaks to me
thus ?" exclaimed Mrs. Grant in an
angry voice, suddenly arousing up
and casting on the frightened girl be-
fore her stern look.
"The daughter of Anna Gray"
"Who ?" was uttered with quick,
convulsive start
"The daughter of Anna Gray" re-
peated the visitor.
"And who is Anna Gray?" this was
said with a slight sneer-affected, not
felt.
"You had a sister named -"
GLOW do you know that had
How do you know me?"
"Just before my mother died. -"
"When did she die 2" quickly adj.
ded Mrs Grant, thrown off her guard
"Less than a month since -" An,
ma burst into tears as she tremblingly
said this, but recovering herself as
quickly as possible, she added,
"And on her death bed she made
me promise that | would come to this
city, seek you out, and throw myself
upon your protection"
1.-THE girl is surely beside herself !!
This is a pretty affair ! What do |
know about your mother?"
"Oh, was she not your sister,"
Anna leaned towards Mrs. Grant
with an imploring look.
"My sister, indeed ! / have no Sis
ter. You have been deceived, if you
think am your aunt. Go and seek
for her somewhere else. You will not
find her here. A fine affair, truly ?"
Anna had already risen to her feet.
These words caused her to stagger
backwards a few PAGES, and lean
against the wall. Ina moment or two
she recovered herself, and taking a
long, confirming look at the portrait
on the wall that so resembled her
mother, she turned from the presence
of the woman who had basely and cru
ely disowned her mother, and left the
house.

CHAPTER XII.

Darkness had fallen upon the face OF
nature, as Anna Gray retired from the
house of her aunt. The wind swept
coidiy along, penetrating her thin gar
ments and causing her to shrink in
the chilling blast For few minutes
she stood, irresolute, upon the pave
ment. Then she moved down the
street, but with no purpose in her
mind. Where could she go? She was
alone, in a strange city, and it was
night. The tears gushed from her
eyes as she felt the sad reality Of her
condition. On she went, now, as her
mind became excited with anxious
fears, walking with quick pace, and
now, as dependency threw its shad-
ows over her heart, pausing or linger-
ing, paralyzed in mind and body.
"What shall l do? Where shall
/ go?" she at length calculated,
standing suddenly still, and wringing
her hands, scarcely conscious of what
she was doing. A man passed her at
that moment, and she became aware
that he had noticed her. Her heart
bounded quickly. The man looked
back several times, and then stopped,
and turned towards her. She felt as
if chained to the spot. The man ap-
preached, until within few steps,
She saw his face distinctly. He was
an old man. With quick impulse
she turned away, and ran down the
street at rapid pace, not pausing
until she had gone nearly half a
square. Then, glancing timidly back,
she perceived that the stranger was
not following her.
She had reached Seventh street
when she again paused to think. The
night had closed in quite dark, for
heavy clouds obscured the sky, and
the air was thick and humid. 1t did
not rain, although the vapor charged
atmosphere was rapidly condensing,
in a cold and clammy mist. The poor
girl was now completely lost. From
the time she had left the cars in Mar
ket street, until she found the house
of her aunt, she had retained a tolera-
bly, correct idea of the relative bear
ings of the different localities through
which she had passed. But all had
now faded from her memory She was
completely bewildered. And, as there
was no plan of the city in her mind,
there was no data by which she could
determine where she was. This, how
ever, mattcred but little. 10 her, one
place was as good as another. She
knew no person in the whole city-she
had no home.
Fearing that she might again at
tract attention, Anna walked on until
she was moving along the pavement
bounding Independence Square. No
light beamed from any house opposite.
Every shutter was closed, as if the in
mates of each dwelling feared that
some portion of the cheerful rays that
lit up their pleasant homes, might
beam upon the dim street, and chase
away a portion Of its gloomy shad-
Ows.
But few persons We're abroad in that
neighborhood. Anna felt a sudden
alarm. A man approached, and bent
down to look into her face as he drew
up to her side. She started, and ran.
But he did not attempt to follow her.
With a heart futtering like newly
caught bird, she hurried on until she
passed Fifth street Lights in some
shop windows, throwing their well
come rays npon the stree t, restored her
to some degree Of calmness, after she

"A singular paradox of politics is
the action of the Republicans in the
late Congress as to Kansas. They
passed Mr. Grows bill wiping out the
infamics called laws there, but coupled
it with provisions making it certain
to be rejected by the Scnatc-pro-
visions that the Legislature itself of
Kansas is sham This is true, but
1t was nevertheless impossible for the
Senate to agree to it. But they had
shown dispotion to dcnounce and re-
peal the mischievous laws, and in the
present moderate conservative state
Of feeling, would undoubtedly have
agreed to any bill sent up by the
House, not saddled with provisions
which would stultify them if they
were adopted. Now, nothing has
been done, and Kansas will be kept a
running sore. We object altogether
to this system of party tactics, which
sacrifices real good, because every
thing can not be gained, when point
before the public can be gained We
believe the Senate would have given
