one man, to thee, I would battle it out
alone, and not leave her an hour in

'1 don't know,' I said carelessly,
Whether your son is at home; if so,
would he direct me, by and by, to
Leek ford, and carry my bag and bas
ket ?'
(Yes, he can go,' was the reply.
That course, then, was hopeless,
and 1 must try the other way. Slow.
ly I sauntered along the wood path,
pausing from.time to time to look
with seeming interest at the trees
and shrubs around Mo and back at
the old house, and still that man
stood in the doorway looking after
me. At last I turned my head, and
ho was gone; but while within sight
of those windows, I dared not quick.
en pace. A few steps more, and I.
was close to the gate; I leaned upon
it for 11: minute, then unlatched it and
passed through. All was still and
quiet in the early morning light, save
a rabbit bounding across the path,
and the rooks cawing overhead, I
went on a little way, then stopped,
and once again looked back. The
old house was hidden now, and noliu
man figure was in . sight. Another
glance, and then away like the wind
through fields and woods,- and over
the cogimon where the low red house
stood in solitude. On I went, into
the first plantation, through more
fields and then , clamberinol, fence,
near. at house,my boy
guide had said, belonged to Mr. 'Ar
cher, and had said too, that be was a
-magistrate. Little as I had noticed
his words at the time, all—the name,
the place—come fresh to my mind
in my night-watch, and I was going
there to ask his aid. On, on; and
now my laboring breath was failing,
and my feet seemed fastened to the
ground ; but still I struggled forward,
and at last, thank heaven for it, I had
gained the door. A gentleman was
riding from it. I stopped before him,
panted out Mr. Archer, and then ev•
erything reeled before me, and I
staggered against a pillar. With- my
dizzy eyes I saw Mr. Archer—for he
it was—turn his horse and dismount;
but he had stood before me some min
utes asking my name and errand be
fore I could entreat a moment's speech
alone with him. He looked surpris
ed ; then led
.the way indoors to a
small study. In a few hurried words
I told,hirn all ; but as I went on, I
saw the wonder in his face turning
to disbelief, and the kind, thoughtful
oyes, involuntarily now at my disor
dered dress, now at my flushed and
agitated face. He thought me mad.
With a great effort I composed my
self, steadied my voice, and said
'You "think this a wild story, but I
swears solemnly that every word is
true, and I call on you as a' magis.
trate to give me help.'
He was silent for a moment; then
he replied, 'As a magistrate and a
man I should be bound to help, if this
were so ; but pardon me, it does seem
a wild story, and 1 should hardly
like, without strong proof to enter a
man's house with such a charge.'
I laid my band upon his shoulder:
'Listen,' I said ; can give you this
proof only, that on the truth of what
I may say hangs my own character.
'lf you go with me, and find it false,
you have only been deluded by a mad
man or a rogue; if you refuse to go
after my words her blood and mine be
upon your head, for I, at any rate
shall instantly return there.' He hesi
tated, then said : 'You speak strong
ly and, at least, as you say my going
can do little harm, I am ready.'
I stopped him again. 'Not alone.
Let some of your servants go with us.
Not for my own sake,' I added, as a
half smile curled his lip, only ask
one man's aid, but I would not draw
you into danger, and they are both
strong men, and may have to be se
cured.'
'And if not!' he said.
'lf not, you have been deluded,' I re
plied.
'Very well, so be it,' he answered.
_Hall an hour later, Mr. Archer and
myself, with two servants, stood be
fore the door of Brocklehurst Grange.
All seemed as undisturbed and quiet
as when I left it, hardly .more than an
hour ago. Was it as peaceful with

1 looked him full in the face. 'He

At that name, I thought to see him

the dogged face. Then all at once
my heart misgave me. " Mr. , Archer

Pearce looked at him unmoved. "You
are Mr. Archer of Holme Green, I think.
Why you are here, and what this man
,means, perhaps you can tell, for I cannot."
'This is what I mean," I said, Ann For
rest, whose master you murdered two
years ago, is now secretly detained in
this house, lest she should accuse you as
the murderer. She is in the room which•
you call a lumber-room, and I am going
there now."
„ you are welcome to go there or any
where, all =of you, though I know no
right you have to search this house. It
signifies little to me what you do, and
this is all of a piece with your conduct
this morning .;" and turning on his heel
he went back to the kitchen.
My companions exchanged looks, and
I saw that the old vi!lian's cunning words
had strengthened their suspicions of me.
That strange, that horrible composure,
what could it mean 7 With a sick heart,
I led the way up staias to the locked
door where I had stood the night before ;
it was locked now, and above it hung the
key. Could I have mistaken the place I
No, there was the narrow passage just
before me, the winding staircase above
and below. I snatched down the key,
unlocked. the door, and entered a desolate
room half filled with boxes and old furni.
tore ;• beyond it was another room quite
empty, with no sign of human habitation.
This, then, was what the old man's calm
ness meant ; yet I searched, searched,

ing on silently the while. All in vain !
she was gone, and not . a trace of her left.
I went into the other rooms ; I left no
spot unvisited ; I groaned aloud in my
bitter remorse for having left her to her
fate. What had her fate been I That
was the thought that lay heavy at my
heart, as we went at last to the kitchen.
As we were about to enter it Mr. Archer
drew the aside.
"You remember," he said, "your own
words when you brought me here. I
have been patient; I have given
. you
p-r.rcury"swae-ariayrkircwrr," - IL 4" CV err - as
the men you have wronged, you must
confess openly either to a cruel slander,

"An insane fancy," I said, finishing
the sentence. "Not yet. There are gar
dens and out-houses ; I must search
them. They may even have carried her
off."
"How could they, in broad daylight?
You here till an hour ago, and no cart or
horse about the place—that at least is im
possible, Besides the man is here.
I said nothing in reply. What could I
say 1 The old man was still alone, and
sitting by the fire as we passed through
the kitchen to the back door. He. raised
his head, and pointing to a basket on the
table, said : "My wife got these ready
before she went to market. I don't ask
if you have found anything up stairs, be
cause there was nothing to find ; but I
hope you are satisfied,"
I was silent ; but Mr. Archer paused to
say a few words before following me out
upon my fruitless quest. Everywhere, in
lofts and sheds, summer-houses and sta
ble, round the gardens and yards—on all
sides 1 hunted, and hunted in vain. The
fowls in the chicken-yard, the old dog in
his kennel, were the only living beings
that met my eyes ; and turning to Mr.
Archer, I said at last, "I give it up."
"And withdraw your accusations?" he
asked.
"It is useless pressing them: I answer
ed bitterly ; "but how can I disbelieve
my own senses 1"
"Even our senses may deceive us," he
said quietly.
I knew what he meant very well. His
first step, when he returned again to the
kitchen, was to go to old Pearce and
apologize gravely and formally for the
disturbance he had caused. His next
was to turn to me, saying : "There can
be no further reason for my remaining; I
will wish you good morning, hoping
that your painful impressions may wear
off,'Y
His words came in strangely with the
thought in my own mind. Was it after
all, a dream, a delusion of my own, created
by the lad's story and the' desolate house!
Had that midnight visit existed in my
own fancy alone 1. Was Mr. Archer
right, and was I going mad With that
terrible idea now first striking me, I
stood silent until Mr. Archer repeated his
farewell. Then I roused myself. "Good
bye," I said. "After all you may be
right, and I wrong—" Stop l" And my
voice in a new tone echoed through the
room. .1 was standing by the window,
and close to my right hand was a com
mon kitchen cupboard, and at that...very
instant I had heard a moan come from it
had f not been so near, and I could
hardly hear it now ; but I turned and
laid my hand upon the key, and as 1 did
so, the old man with an oath sprang up
and rushed upon me. There was a con
fused struggle, a loud outcry, and he was
on the ground, and I was wrenching
open the door. It yielded to my strength,
and there, upon the floor of that narrow
closet, bound hand and foot, and gagged,
lay the poor woman for whom I had
been seeking, powerless to move or cry
out, though with help so near, and only
able, by her desperate efforts, to utter
that one faint moan which had just reached
my ears. We lifted her up and unbound
her, but she spoke no word, only her
Wild eyes roamed incessantly about, and
she clung to me with a grasp that seemed
as though it never would unloose. Mr.
Archer and myself led her away, leaving
the two men to bring old Pearce after
wards, for he made*no resistance, and
only glared savagely round upon us all.
It was many hours before Ann Forrest
could speak of what had happened to her,
but that afternoon in. Mr..Areher's study,
her hand still clasping mine, she told her
dreadful tale—how in old time 'she. had
known Pearces well, and once had even
helped to nurse the woman; how they
had asked her carelessly one day about
her master's money-box, and she had
told them, not thinking any harm, and
had never dreamed of any harm until the
cruel deed was done. That evening she
had been busy in the house till after
nightfall, and then went down the garden
to call her master in to supper; but as
she neared the spot where he was want
to sit, she saw two figures bending over
something on the ground, and as she
stood to watch, saw, too, that it was her
master who lay there, and running for
ward with a cry in sudden horror, had
fallen the next moment, stunned by a
blow upon the head. She knew no
more until she woke to find herselfin the
lonely room at Brocklehurst, and learned
that they had brought her to ward suspi
cion from themselves: that her life had for
the time been spared, because the woman,
bearing grateful memory of that ofd kind
nursing, had vowed to tell all if they
harmed her, and might have kept her
vow ; and so for all those terrible months
one weak woman alone had stood be
tween her and a terrible death. Of the
end .of that suspense, of the •morning
when the old man, coming up alone, had
found the key, despite the frantic efforts" :
she had made, still. in the lock, and guess-
ing the secret from that and from her , ter
ror, had bound and hidden her from her
approaching deliverers, and arranging all
things in her prison, had sent his wife
and son away, and stayed himself on
guard—of all this she could not even
now speak without convulsive shudders,
and we did not press her. .
My story is well nigh told. The
father and son suffered for their crimes,
acid the woman was mercifully delt with
We did not take Brocklehurst Grange,
for we. could not bear that our innocent
children should live in scenes darkened
by such deeds; but we did'ga elsewhere.
Years afterwards, there might be seen
moving about our house a pale, tall wo
man, darkly dressed, gentle in manneer,
and very quiet. To her my wife turned
for sympathy in every trouble ; in her
arms the children loved to lie when sick
or sorrowful. From her-I had the most
faithful and devoted service; and she
died at last, holding my hand, *liking

was silenced forever. Her name was

THE BALL IS ROLLING!
Our abolition "Union" friends
must not forget that it is less than
two months until the fifth of Janua
ry, when the next draft is to take
place. We have net yet heard of
.any of them volunteering to make
Up the quota of Lebanon county, but
they are no doubt settling up their
business affairs for that purpose.—
They should be quick to announce
their intentions and relieVe the sus

other patriotically done the same'

for our abolition friends to volunteer ;
we may state that the quota ofPenn

300,000 men, 'has been set - down at
38,263 : if this quota . is not filled by
volunteering, all deficiencies on for.

Do.ficit prior to the draft of 1863. 10,071
Defteit on late draft 36,754

It will thus bp seen that only two
fifths of the number required by a
draft will be required in volunteer.

drafted in 1862 and never' reported

never reported. •
The item of 36,754 is the deficien

that will be materially reduced by the

the quota of men due on the current
draft was fixed, on the 17th of Octo

reduced to about tenor fifteen thou

AN OUTRAGE,
George Crawford, who is living on
,a small farm some,miles below Chest
nut Level, left, his borne on last Wed
ncsday morning for, the purpose of
attending market in this
,eity. A
short time after he had left his house
a party of three or more men visit
ed the house, and after arousing Mrs.
Crawford demanded admittance, and
:deo asked for ten dollars and some
victuals.—Mrs. C. ordered them away
to which they replied by attempting
to force an entrance, when she took
a double barrel pistol from a bureau
and fired both charges through the
door. She alleges that immediately
after slid had &red, she heard one of
the men exclaim, "Oh Lord, I'm shbt "
From. the sounds she heard Mrs. C
supposed that the . wounded man was
carried off by his comrades, as she
avers she distinctly hoard a voiceex•
claim a short distance from the house
"Pm dying." About half an hour af
terwards two men again appeared be
fore the house and demanded admit
tance.—Mrs. C had in the meantime
reloaded the pistol, but unfortunately
overcharged it; and in replx to the
second demand for instant ad
mittance attempted to fire. it off,
when one of the barrels bursted.—
An attempt was then made to burst
open one of the windows, and as a
man was about crawling in through
the opening, the courageous woman
seized an ;40 and struck at him
causing him to beat a hasty retreat.
The men after a short consultation
retired and did riot renew the at,-
tack.
The affair, as might bo expected,
caused considerable excitement a
mong the neighbors, but upon the
return of Mr. .Crawford he treated
the matter indifferently, and it was
finally regarded as a trick gotten up
by thoughtless young men . to fright.
di, a lonely woman.
We have since learned, however,
that several subsequent circumstan
ces have transpired, that give the
transaction a still more mysterious
turn. On Friday last several dogs
were seen acting in a strange man.
ner near a small thicket in the neigh
borhood of the Crawford's residence,
and upon examining the thicket blood
and brains were- found spattered a.
bout, which a physician has pro.
