urned out enmasse, and were
searching the neighborhood in
quest of Amy and her charge.
The nurse however soon made her
appearance on the lawn, and mar
rated the appalling story to the as
Sembled company, interlarding it
with a plentiful profusion of tears.
The solicitous mother failed not to
heap a mountain of reproach on
the poor girls carelessness in
abandoning the children to examine
strolling peddler's goods. What
business had she with the pedler's
trinkets? She had other motives,
no doubt for leaving the children
than Just to look at a peddler's pack
with a multitude of such jibes, to
all of which the girl replied only
with tears and protestatious of her
innocence. An Irish lad, who re-
sdied with Mr.. Greenberry's family,
and who had been standing by
with apparent uneasiness while this
dialogue was passing between the
mistress and maid, and despairing
of it's coming to an end broke in
upon their discourse with
"And troth, my bonny Ann,
were we acquitted with the stroilin'
storekaper?"
"No," was the laconic reply.
"And what sort of looking divil
was he?"
"He was middling large man.
the girl answered, shortly.
"And how was he drisst? And
what color was the blackguard's Is
hair?n pursued the Irishman.
"He had on a frock coat, rather
worse for wear, and an Indifferent
fur hat. The remainder of his dress
[ took no notice of. He had red
hair, and gray, twinkling eyes,
continued the girl, now fairly EN-
barked in her description of the
peddler, "his nose was short and
thick, his forehead broad, and by
his accent took him to be a Dutch
man."
"Troth, thought as much ~ re-
sponded Pat. "The Dutch vaga-
bond ought to be in the work house,
along wild all the rest of his stro.lin'
tribe, AM which way was the ape
goin', Amy dear! Did he tell ye
that?"
"He was on the way to the man
sion, he told me-" replied the girl.
"Divil any mansion did he git
the day, then,' answered Pat; can
Pm thinkin' the ramblin' black
guard had somethin' to do with
conjurin' off wee, winsome Rose. "
That cannot be possible" added
Mr.. Greenberry, breaking into the
discourse. "The child, perhaps,
has strayed away from Ernest, after
some object, or has lain down and
fallen asleep. At any rate, We'll
not find her by parleying here"
And coming to this conclusion,
unanimously, torches were procured,
and a general search of the sur
rounding neighborhood commenced
Though the quest was continued to
late hour in the night, no trace OF
the child could be discovered.

The night was dark and uncOm-
Portable. The thunder storm of the
previous evening had subsidized into
a gentle but incessant rain, which
poured down through the darkness
without intermission. In an old,
dilapidated house wasting away its
once palatial architecture by piece
meal, sat two persons before a small
wood fire, with a table between
them, which contained a decanter
of brandy, a bowl of sugar, and a
pitcher of water. On either side of
the small deal table sat the two
worthy heroes of this singular scene,
each with cup of prepared bever-
age in his hand. On the smoke
begrimed mantel burned an iron
lamp, family tiinging its dubious
light over the ruined and gloomy
