decided, and announced 10 his fathers
slave daughters that their value to him
was more appreciable in another form
than themselves. To this cruelty they
did not passively submit, as it would IN.
doubtodly have been becoming in them
TO do ; but, presuming upon their le-
lationship," implore the young McA--
to head the dying injunction of their
father. and to spare them the common
fate Of all who bear the shames of serv-
itude. But there was the money that
must be procured. So young McA--
brayely shook off all qualms. and. by
coming his sisters flesh and blood. re-
stored in part the wasting substance Of
his fortune. The girls were young and
very pretty, and were quite unusued to
toll. But, young and pretty, it is not
likely they were bought for purposes OF
toll.

this continent. These rumors are /: First,
that they have been purchasing stock in
the Harlem Railroad, with a view Of con.
trolling that Road, and converting it into
a New York branch Of their own Sc

years, and thus virtually extended their
own road to Chicago ; third, that they
are making arrangements to possess them
selves Of the Dixon Air Line, the Iowa

Missouri River Road and fourth,
that they are ready to assist in
the construction of the Pacific Railway
whenever Congress shall have paved the
way with the required legislation. Should

Martin Speed was a bachelor. He had
backed and filled and hesitated and
doub,ed about entering upon the bliss
tuI estate OF matrimony, until the fire
of youthful passion was spent, and mat.
rimony had become u problem TO him as
dry and formal rs one in old Walsh 5
arithmetic, to be ciphered out for an an,
swer as much as that proposition about
carrying the fox, goose, and bag Of corn
across the creek, that everybody prob

gist, he left the province Of hearts alto.

dressed TO him at the Speedwell post Of
fee. The town of Speedwell was named
after an ancestor of his, and boasted OF
several thousands of inhabitants and as
il was factory place, it had goodly
share of good looking, marriageable girls.
Martin studied Combe, and Spurz
helm, ard Gall, and grew bitter as disap-
pointment saw him enter his forty first
year a bachelor. He looked back on the
past, and saw the chances he had ne
elected. and the happiness of those who
had started with him, and were now
portly people, the heads and fronts OF
families and the delicate damsels he had
slighted, respected mothers in Israel, and
exemplary and amiable wives. He sought
every opportunity for examining the
heads of such rs would submit them
selves to his hand with the hope OF catch
ing the bachelor; for they knew his
weakness, and he was we'll to do, and an
eligible match. But in vain he looked
for perfection. The bumps would not be
arranged as he wished them. Ii he took
a liking 10 a pretty face, phrenology i'm
pertinently gave the lie Straight and he
at once avoided it.
Ii was at this uncture that biograph-
ical lecturer-a grave professor in that

This put the mind of Martin on = new
track. lie, sold his old chronological
works and devoted himself to the study
Of the wonderful science through which
such marvels were performed. The pro-
fessor was fine teacher, and Martin
placed himself under his tuition. He
succeeded admirably. In short time
he surpassed his instructor, and had
more than his powers in influencing the
susceptible among his weak brethren and
sisters.

Fort Atkinson and Mission Reserves.

Some seven or eight years since, GER
tain settlers entered upon. and attempted
10 hold by occupancy. the Indian Mis-
sion Reserve, in Winneshiek county. in
this State. and the Fort Atkinson Mill
tary Reserve. in the same county. The
former embraced Two and one half sec
tons, and the latter about two sections.
OF course these claims could not be held
good under the ordinary laws of pre-.
emptiye settlement. and the owners were
liable TO ejectment and loss Of their lands
