Mrs. VAN BENTHUYsEN.-The vestry of
Salem street church was crowded by an in
terested audience, last evening, to hear Mrs.
Van Benthuysen's lecture on ''rhe rebellion,
and its advocates, their motives and reasons"
Her lecture consisted principally of reminis-
ccnces connected with her residence at the
south, of what passed under her own observ-
alton and hearing. She is very intelligent
woman, speaks with much fluency and ear
nestness, aud interests her hearers. 1t was
evening, in the Universalist church. We I'M
derstand, now, that she will not do so.
REV. W. C.. VAN METER, of the Howard
Mission and Home for Little Wanderers, in
New York city, will speak on the subject of
his mission, tomorrow evening, in the Pleas
ant street church, at 7 1-2 o'clock. He is at
tended by number of the Mission children.
Mr.. Van Meter will also address meeting of
children and teachers of the Sunday and day
schools, in the First Baptist church, at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. This indefa-
tigable worker for homeless and neglected
children will have many interesting incidents
to tell. and many stirring things to say. His
schools were never fuller than now Broken
up for a time by the great New York riot,
this has only increased both the wants and
the supplies of his work. He has had over
six hundred children in his Mission during the
last year, and many of these have been placed
in carefully selected homes. M.

THE OLD BUREAU.
CHAPTER l.

As we were passing down Exchange street,
several years ago, we stopped in front of an
auction room to examine the various articles
that were exposed to be sold under the ham,
mer. We had been there but few moments
when we heard a female voice inquring &c Is
this bureau to be sold to-day ?" On looking
up we perceived that the question had been
addressed to us by young lady, whose sad
but pleasant countenance struck us at once.
We replied that all the articles spread on the
sidewalk would be disposed of to the highest
bidder.
II should like this bureau if it goes low
enough" she said pointing to an old fashioned
article that was standing among the other fur
nture; g but | never bought anything at auc-
ton in my life and | see no woman here; |
don't know as it would be proper for me to
bid
. 1t would be perfectly proper" we re-
marked; d" but if you wish it l will bid off the
bureau"
g If you will, sir, shall be greatly obliged
to you"
6 How high are you willing to go?"
% don't know exactly how much it is
worth, but if it sells for three or four dollars
you may buy it"
''Shal | speak to hand cartman to leave
it at your house?
''No, sir, L will call at noon and settle for
it and take it away. l am very much Obliged
to YOU for your Kindness
So saying the lady went aw y, leaving us to
wonder who she was, and of what use the old
bureau could be to her. We examined it,
took out the drawers, but saw nothing remark
able about it. At eleven O'Clock, when the
auction commenced, we were present, and af-
ter waiting nearly an hour, the auctioner re-
marked, ''We will now sell thebureau. What
will you give me, gentlemen" One man Of
fered two dollars, another three, and we bid
half dollar more. Four dollars were bid
four and half and five dollars. We were as
tonishcd that the old thing should bring such
a price. What could we do-see it sold, and
disappoint the lady? The thought struck us
that it might have belonged to some friend
and she wished to purchase it on that ac-
count, and, rather than disappoint her, we re-
solved to bid again. The bureau ran up tc
ten dollars, and we purchased it for half dol
lar more. Certainly we should not have giver
four dollars for it to use ourself. However
