let her out of sight, and that she must go with them In compliance with this man date, she followed them down stairs to the diuing-room, where a splendid we'd ding breakfast had been laid. 10 save hurry and trouble on the morrow. To her surprise, the fellows (eight in number when assembed) seated Themselves and prepared 10 make good meal. They ordered her to get the wine, and 10 cut up her own wedding-cake for them and then. seated al tie head of the table, she was compelled to preside at this extraor- dinary revel.
 They ate, drank, laughed and jolled :; and Adelaide, quick of ear and eye, had thus time to study, in her qulet way, the figures and voices of the whole set.
 When the repasl was ended and the plate transferred 10 sack, they prepared
 to depart, whispering together and glanc- ing at the young lady. For the first time Adelaide's courage gave way, and sine ;rembled but it was not a consultation against her, as it proved. The leader ap- proaching her, told her that they did not wish to harm her that she was '' jolly
 wench, reg Tar game" and they wouldn't hurt Der, but that she must swear not to give the alarm till nine or ten the next day, when they would be of all safe. To | this, of course, she was obliged to assent, land then they all insisted on shaking hands with her. She noticed during this parting ceremony, that one of the rufians had only three fingers oni ihe left hand. Alone, and in the despolled room, Adelaide, faint aud exhausted, awaited the first gleam of daylight, then, as the robbers did not return, she stole up to her room, undressed and fell into a disturbed slumher. The consternation of the fami-
 ly next morning may be imagined and Adelaide's story was sliIlmore astonishing than the fact of the robbery itself. Police
 were sent for from London, and they guid- ed by Adelaide's lucid description of her midnight guests, actually succeeded in capturing every one of the gang, whom the young lady had no difficulty in ident- lying and swearing to-the "three fin- gered Jack being the guiding clue to the
 discovery. The stolen property was near ly all recovered, and the old rector always declared and with trulh--lhat he owed his life to the self-possession and judgment of his eldest daughter.
 The only i'll effect of the great trial to her nerves was disposition on the part of the young heroine to listen to midnight sounds, and start uneasily from troubled dreams; but time and change of resi- dence soon effected a cure.

I LOVE THE SPRING.

love the Spring-her bursting buds and
 flowers,
 The blue-bird whistling in her leafy bowers, The waters laughing with a merry sound, That late were mute, in icy fetters bound. love the Spring whose blossom bearing Sweet perfume wait on every passing breeze; When every pulse beats joyously and high, And gentle hearts warm at her fragrant sigh. love the spring-when snow-drops silly peep From the white mantle of their wintry sleep; When p1rpie yiolets to earth are given, And blue-bells whisper hope, in hues of
 heaven. love the spring-for then the bright -pluined
 birds
 Pour richer melodies than human words, And each frail straw, borne to the cherished
 nest, Teaches lesson of domestic rest. love the Spring-itis the time to roam In those still hauuts where Nature makes her Where frowning rocks look down on silent
 streams As on a mirror, giving back their beams. love the Spring-e'en when the lightning's
 flash,
 And deep-toned thunders deafen by their crash, Or April rains dispel our rising fears, Like some pale beauty smiling through her
 tears.
 love the SPring-no more the homeless child Shall coldly shiver in the tempest wild. Benignant Spring! thou art the poor mans
 friend, And will love thee till my life shall end.

where the land was previously entered and subsequent purchaser does not choose 10 contest his claim. you can issue refunding certificates without further mo- Itice or instructions.
 In all cases where two or more parties claim the same tract of land, you will mo- |ufy each claimant, or require the appIi. cant 10 do so.
 Though your decision is not final, yet it is proper to avoid cx-parte trials, and before deciding in contested cases, you should be assured that you have all the facts before you.
 So soon as s,can be done, you will be furnished with list of existing errors in the sales of lands in your district, and a direction to each, of the proper steps to be teken to rectify it. lA2
 The Auditor takes this occasion to re- mind the agents that it is too often the case thatthey issue patent and refunding certificates for lands that do not appear to have been rcporleUas sold by the com missoners, or agents. Where n certifi cate is presented to be acted upon, the agents should examine his record of sales to see if 1t was reported as sold, to see if it agrees with the description, and espe- cially if Il conflicts with any other sale.
 Under the late laws it is believed tha, nine-lenths of the existing errors can be corrected without the parties resorting to the courts for settlement, and the Audi. tor is warranted in this belief by the sue. cess that has attended his efforts in this behalf heretofore In this lie was ably and 'cheerlully seconded by the land agents, who promptly s5rendered extra services without compensation. s
 Should particular cases arise, which no general instructions can reach, you will be promptly responded to, but you are re- Equested to state the case fully, and if cop. les of papers afe sent, first to compare the copies carefully win the original so as to avoid heaping error upon error.
 The section giving this power to the Auditor, 10 correct mistakes, and to put lands in situation to make deeds, was an amendment 10 the original bill, and would have been avoided by him, had il been left to himself. While 1t increases his labers, it serves in some degree to diminish the receipts of the agent, whose enoluments are not large, except in dis ircls where new combinations are or have been received, However, such being the law, al! cases determined at this office will be sent 10 you, with full notes of the steps taken here--decisions made and certli- cates issued, and with instructions to you how to mark plas and make entries or your books. Il is of paramount impor. tance that the files of your office should correspond, in all things, with, this office. To this end particular attention must br paid to follow all instructions sentto you
 Yours respectfully, so

With all her bad looks she was very benevolent. and provoked her maids of honor by keeping them busy in sew ing for the poor.
