A WHITE BABE TO BE SOLD.

About four years ago, girl, whosef
dreamy eyes had not yet seen the violetsE
sof eighteen springs, was broughtto this cltyE
sfrom the east, by one of our theatrical man {
aagers, and after making her DEBUT at his es- I
Establishment, became a favorite with all
athe habitues. She had been engaged fort
Sluvenile tragedy parts, and her sweet face,
delicate, almost exquisite features, herr
charming figure and elegant stage deport- /
sment. made her favorite and won SYM
apathy from many persons whose long cos
amopolitan experience had made them quiteH
a6laSe Among those who were quite en-
Enthusiastic in her favor, was a young man!
sfrom the northern part of the State, whoE
! saw her first as Pauline" and ever after|
Hwhen he spoke of her to his friends, heE
Ecalled her by that name. At length bel
amanaged to be introduced to his charmer,
Hand his apparent devotion and sincerity
aSsoon won her heart. Alone, without
Friends, of rather melancholy tempera-
ament, solely dependant upon herself, while|
Lat the same time sick of the world, andI
tired of the part she was compelled to play|
lin it, the sympathy he had to offer fell
8 upon her spirit like a soothing balm. Be-
Eefore they had been acquainted month
they were inseperable, and in the society
Eaof each other spent all the time they could
spare from their duties.
81 For several months this continued; but,
like Francesca di Rimini and her beloved
HPaolo, as they read, one afternoon, they
Nfell, and their golden peace and content
abandoned them, and never came back.
Still they were devoted to each other, but
their lives had been ideal, and the terrible
result of having yielded to the tempter, did
ssnot make itself fully known for several
s. months. Then they were disconsolate.
lille was unfortunate in business, she could
Eanot prosecute hers, and there seemed but
& one path for them to pursue. She left the
Ntheatre, for the ostensible purpose of going
EAST, but really to become an inmate OF one
Eof the hospitals of the city, at which she
became the mother Of a beautiful and
brght-eyed girl, which she gave to a mu-
Slatto woman, that it might be cared for
Ewithout annoyance to her.
u A week or two ago, this woman, whose
name is Heazelton, left her residence ii
ESycamore street, between Third anc
Fourth, and went to Maysville, Ky, upor
Ia visit to some relatives, taking the chile
with her. She had not been long in the
Lefty, before she was arrested, and, with the
Mbabe of the actress, thrown into .jail.-She
Aremained there some time, during which
gsshe managed to prove he was free woman
land under promise of leaving the State, SHE
Awas liberated. The child, however, wa:
RETAINED, and in spite of her prOtestation
THAT it was white child which had been
given her to raise, it was kept in the pos
nsession of the authorities, while she wa
Hsent to this city.
"a A day or two since she went to one o
1.-THE lieutenants of police, and told the story
1--WE have related here; also stating that from
1.-The hour the mother Of the child had lef
1.-THE hospital, she had not been seen, ant
Mthat nothing was known of her. The
father, too, has not been heard of, nor hal
Mseen his child, since it came in her posses
Hsion. The child, she says, although sh'
Ecarnot prove it, is the Of spring of the il
illicit love of the tress, and of as good pa
#rentage as thOsg who, she fears, will We
Hmake it a slave.
d Meantime, IT, : lieutenant has written t
sthe authorities in regard to the matter, anC
Mnow awaits an answer. What will be thu
#result of the case still remains one of the
's@mysteries which time alone can solve; bu
1--WE presume the woman or the authorities
will be compelled to resort to writ o
Ahabeas corpus, and serve it on the Mays
~ vile semi-kidnappers.- Gin. Press.
