As wc were passing' down Exchorp;"
Street peveral years ago, we stopped in
front of an nuctiou room to examine the
various articles that were exposed to lie
sold under the hammer. "We hod Leon
there Lut a 'few minutes, when we heard
a fori: a la voice inquiring, "Is thi.s bureau
to !e sold to-day V On locokinp; up we
perceived that the question had been
addressed to us Ly a young lady, whose
sad but pleasant countenance struck us at
once. "Ve replied tint all the articles
spread en the side walk would be disposed
of to-day to the highest bidder.
"I should like . this bureau,' if it goes
low enough," she said, pointing to an
old i fashioned article that was standing
among the other furniture ; ''but I never
bought anything at auction in all my life,
and I see no women here. I don't know
as it would be roper for me to bid,"-
'lt would be perfectly .proper," we
replied "but if you wish it, I will bid off
the bureau."
"If you will, sir, I shall be greatly
obliged to you."
"How high aro you willing to go V
"I don't know exactly how much it is
worth, but if it sell. tor three or four
dollars you may buy it." .
"Shall I speak to a hand-cartman to
leave it at your house V
"No sir, I will call at noon and fettle
for it and' take it away. I am verT mueh
obliged to you for .your kindness."
So saying the lady- went away, leaving
us to wonder who she was, and of what
use the old bureau could be to her. "We
examined it, took cut the drawers, but
saw -nothing remarkable about it. At
eleven o'clock, when the auction commen
ced, we wore present, ar.d after waiting
nearly an houT the suHicnccr remarked :
"Ve will now sell 'this bureau. "What
will you give me, gentlemen ?"
One man ottered two dollar?, another
three, and we bid a half dollar more.
Four doPars was bid four and a hal-f and
fve dollars- We were astonished that the
old thing should bring such a price.
What should we do seo it sold and dis
appoint the lady? The thought struck
us that it might have belonged to some
friend, and she' wished to purchase it on
that account, and rather than disappoint
her, wo resolved to bid again. The
bureau ran up to ten dollars and we pur
chased it for half a dollar more. Certain
ly wc should not have given four; dollars
for it to use ourselves. However, we
bought it, and had it sent, to cur room ;
telling the auctioneer that if a lady should
call for it, to inform her where it might
be found. "We" examined it again, nnd
began to regret our purchase, feeling
almost certain that the young woman
would not thank us for what wc had done,
but we never mouru over a bad bargain.
Our pbilopophy ill not permit us tv, do so.
I-, PA., THURSDAY, JULY
A little after dusk, as we were sitting
in our sanctum, the young lady came in,
with an apology for intruding, and re
marked, "You bought me the bureau, so
the auctioneer informed me."
"Yes, I bought it at an extravagant
price, I assure you."
"What did you give?"
"Ten dollars aud a lrnlf."
"You astonish me. What can I do ?
I had no idea that it would bring over
three cr four dollars, 2nd am uot prepared
to pay for it to-night."
"I suppose it wr.s foolish in me to give
so much for it, but I presume you want it
very much."
"I did sir, and would not value paying
double the amount for the bureau, if I
were able, rather than not to have it."
"So I apprehend. I'erhaps it belonged
to a friend of yours?"
44 Yes, cir, that bureau wps ence iny
mother's" and I noticed a tear come in
her eye which she endeavored to conceal ;
"but she is dead now, and I want to keep
it in remembrance of her."
Thinking the lady might be poor, we
told her "that she might take the bureau
that night if she wished, and pay us when
convenient."
"I am greatly obliged to you for your
kindness, but would rather you should
keep it until it is paid for."
"We urged her to take it, but she
refused, saying : "I will see what I can do,
and call in a day or two and see you j"
and, bidding us good eveniug she left.
There bs something very mysterious
about this weman, thought we. It may
be that she is poor, and perhaps in very
destitute circumstances. lut she showed
an excellent heart, and the warmest
attachment to a deceased mother. Her
education must have been good, and she
had evidently seen better days. And we
thought the next time she called upon us,
wc would ascertain something more of
her character and circumstances perhaps
her name which we felt deeply anxious
to learn.
In a day or two the young lady called
upon us, and with tears in her eyes re
marked; "I do not know what you will
think of me, but all the money I have in
the world is Cve dollars; this I have
brought to you towards the bureau you
were so kind as to purchase for me." So
saying she placed the money before me
in silver.
"I shall rot take the money at present,"
Iremaiked, "lean do without it; atid
when you arc able at soAie future time
you may pay for it."
She expressed a great deal of gratitude
and said, "I would rather you should take
what 1 have," and nothing that we could
say would induce her to take the money
aain.
You appear to have seen seme afilic-
tion, we remarked as we saw the tears m
her eyes.
'Not much sir, T must confess that I
have not always been as poor a& I am at
present; for 1 have seen better lays.:
When my parents were living I never
knew what it was to want for anything.
Now I cannot say so."
"How long have j'Otir parents been
dead?"
"About six years since my father died;
and it was four years ago last Saturday
since' my mother died."
At the mention of her mother's name,
the tears came to her eyes a tender eltord
was touched we saw it and made no
more inquiries, when she took her leave.
It wa nearly six weeks before I saw
the young lady again. She then called
upon us with the remainder of the money
that we had paid for the bureau.
Vvre protested against receiving it at
that time, thinking it might have been
inconvenient for her to pay it.
"T am under great obligations to you for
3-our kindness. Had it not been for you
I should not hav the bureau, the only
relic of my mother ; for. it was then impos
sible for me to raise' the 'money you so
generously paid. 1 shall never forget
your kinunese."
"Do you wish to take the bureau away,"
1 asked.
"I hao spoken to a carfinan who will
call here in a short time, and have it re
moved out of your way, for I suppose you
will be glad of it."
"Not at all. I urn pleased that I was
instrumental of a little service to 3ou, and
if. you ever need assistance, I shall le
ready to render it." . .
; "I thank vou, sir, with all my heart."
At this moment the man came for the
bureau, aud bidding us good morning the
young lady left the room.
"Going, going. will you give but two
dollars for this excellent bureau T' ex
claimed Mr. larley', the auctioneer, a year
or. two since, as wo were passing down
Kxchange street. ;Hcre, Mr. C," paid
he, turning to u, "buy this bureau j it js
worth more for kindling wood than it is
going for. Just look at it going going
quick, or you lose it."
Two dollars and fifty cents we bid, a3
we saw it was the same bureau we bought
several yeaTS before for ten and a half
dollars, and it was knocked off to us.
Thin is singular enough, thought we, as
wc had the article carried to our room.
"Where is the young woman who formerly
owned it? Who was she?
We made several inquiries, but could
not ascertain who she was, or what had
become of her. This bureau had been
carried to the auction room by an individ
ual whom Mr. bmrley V.ever saw bcforC)
aud all our inquiries to ascertain what be
came of the young lady seemed fruitless
Several months passed by, and still we
heard nothing of- the 3'oung lady, when
one day, not knowing but we might get
some ei ue of -the former owner, we took
out all the drawers separately and exam
ined them. We saw no writing whatever.
In the back of the under drawer wc no
ticed that a small piece of pine had been
inserted. It looked as if it had been to
stop a defect. Trying it with a knife, it
came out, when, to our.astonishmeut, we
found several gold pieces to the value of
about $50, beside a note for 2,500, with
interest, made payable to Sarah ,
when she should, become of age. Jt was
a witnessed note, and had been running
ten years, signed bj a wealthy man whose
reputation for honesty is not exceedingly
good. Without mentioning to a single
Individual what we had discovered, wc
immediately endeavored to find out who
S;arah was, and where she could be
found. We learned that a girl of this
fcame formerly lived with Capt. , and
did the work ol the kitchen. Ut Inm wc
could obtain but little information. His
wife recollected the girl, and spoke of her
in the highest terms. She believed she
had married a mechanic, and retired from
the city, but his name she could not rec
ollect. By repeated incpuiries we ascer
tained that Sarah with her husband lived
on a femall farm on the road that leads to
Saco. Taking an Mrly opportunity, we
started for the residence ot the young
woman. After several inquiries on the
road, we were directed to the house.
It was a pleasant situation, a little from
the, road, while everything looked neat
about the dwelling. As we drew up to
the cottage, who should come to the door
but the very woman wc had so long been
anxiou9 to iind. She recognized us at
once. -
"Why, Mr. C , how gl?d I am to
see vou. Whore in the world did -ou
come from ? Walk irr, and take a seat."
Her husband was preseut an intelli
gent looking man to whom she presented
us. -
"I have often thought of you," she
said, "and when in l'crt'andLave been
tempted to call and see you ; buff although
I have not called, be assured I hav not
forgotten your kindness, and I never shall
forget it." .
"But you seem happier than when I
saw you last."
"Be assured, sir, I am. TTy husband
has hired this little farm, where we have
resided for the last two years, and we have
a comfortable living, and we are as happy
as we could w;sh. In the course of a tew
year?, if we have our health and prosper,
wo are in hopes to purchase the farm." "
"What docs the owner value it at V
"He values it at about 1,500. We
had to purchase a great many farming
things, or we should have made a payment
towards it."
"But what has become of your old bu
reau?" "I fear I shall rcver see it again," she
said ;' and, after a pause, added, "I believe
I have never fold you how I have been
situated."
"You neer did."
. "When m$ mother died, it was thought
she left some property in the hands of an
uncle of mine, that would come to me
when I was of age, but he said it was not
the case. With him I resided foi a short
time." - : m- . ' . :
"Was yoT:r uncle's name Mr. ?"
said we, mentioning the individual who
had signed the note in our possession.
"Yes, sir that was his name, lie was
unkind to me made me work so hard aud
was so cross that I left him, to earn my
Jiving by doing the work of a kitchen
girl. One day 1 learned that he was about
to dispose of what little property mother
left, to pay an old debt of hers. As soon
as I found it correct, 1 iinmediately went
to the auction, and found it too true. You
know about the bureau, the only article of
mother's property I could purchase, and
had it not been for your kindness, it would
have gene with the rest. The, money, I
paid was earned, in the kitchen. As I
found it inconvenient 'to carry it with me
I asked my aunt's permission to put it in
hfctf gwrrtt, which she- granted. -Or) call-
28; 18C3.
ing lor it when 1 was married, Hearsicd
that uncle had disposed of it with some
other things at auction. I would rather
have lost a hundred dollars. Not that the
piece possessed any real value, but it be
longed to my dear beloved mother, (a tear
came into the poor woman's eye,) and on
that account I did not wish to part with
it. But it was useless to speak to uncle
about it, as he was entirely ir.difTertnt to
me, and what concerned me."
"Suppose that I should tell you that I
have that bureau in my office."
"Is it possible ! You astonish me, Mr.
C. Have y6u indeed the old bureau V
"I have, and what is better, I have
somcthing-here for you" taking out my
pocket book, and placing the gold and
note upon the table "this is your3."
"Why, sir, you more aud more astonish
me."
"They arc yours.
After I became the
owner ot the bureau, I found this note and
"old concealed in cue of the drawers.
There are nearly fifty dollars, and the note
-is against your uncle, for nearly three
thousand doltats, every ccut of which you
may recover."
The astonished Iauy- could not speak
for seme time; but when she recovered
from her surprise she could only express
her' gratitude in tears; nay, more, she
ollercd half the amount, but v.c merely
tol l her that it pleased in to have justice
done her, and bo instrumental in adding
to the happiness cf those we considered so
worthy as herself and husband.
When we left we promised to call on
her soon again, aud in the meantime to
make arrangements for her to receive her
just dues from her unworthy uncle.
The old man demurred a little at first,
but when he found he could rob a poor
orphan no longer, he paid the note with
interest begging us not to expose hiui.
Sarah's husband purchaseVt tho fjrm on
which he resided, stocking it well, and is
now an independent farmer. Two happi
er souls it is difficult to find than Sarah
and her. husband. ..May prosperity atteud
them to the close of life.
We often call at the house of our friend
and spend many a happy hour. It was a
week or two sidcc we saw them as cheer
ful and contented as it is possible for
mortals l-.j be.
2 A leading otHvrer in cue cf the
courts was charged with never going to
bed sober. Of course he indignantly de
nied the soft impeachment ; and be gave
the particulars of a particular night iu
proof.
We quote his own wcrus : . .
"Pretty soon after I got into. bed, my
wile saiu :
"Whv. husband, what is the

''There is nothing the matter

with
"I'm sure there is," the saui; "you

And she got up and lighted the candle,
and came to the bedside to look at me,
shading the light with her hand.
"I knew there was something strange
about you

sober !"
"Now this is a fact, end my wife

TIic Catholic Cliurcli and SlaJ.
Tcry.
The Cailioh'a Tdrgroph of Cincinnati, the
rxiot influential organ of that Church in
tLo NYest, ar.d probably in the country, in
a recent number avows its determined
and cxnphatis hostility to slavery, and
expresses its satisfaction that its destrn:S
tion must result from the war now fn
progress. The editor of that paper, speak:
ing of the course he has thus deliberately
determined to pursue, says he had expect
ed to ''wound the prejudicss of many to"
whom he was bound by ties of friendship,
aud had anticipated a considerable dc-diuo
of subscription li&t; but, to his surprise
he has found his subscribers increasing -and
from all parts cf the country commcn-'
dation? of his course are pourin" in."
Among other letters approving hil course,
tho editor publishes the following fron
the state of Kentucky : -
"God bless you lor what 3-011 havo'
written about slavery! Where" it exists
the poor white laborer is as little thought
cf as. a dug. That it is hostile to Tho
Church is everywhere evident. Well did
the great bishop of Charleston, Dr. Bi?"--land,
say of the South, when, after year
of labor, he accomplished so little "U L?
a stubborn soil." That the Chinch-ha!?
ever been the friend of the slave system,
is a monstrous assertion. Europe was full
cf slaves when Christianity was proclaimed
there is not one now. Who suppressed
the system? Go on with the good work.
Many will denounce you, but far mora
will thank 30U."
The editor alo publishes an extract
of a letter from a distinguished otheer i-f
the Cumberland, with 'the remark that
"he has never been an abolitionist, but
has, like om selves, stood up for the democ
racy." This oEcer, writing from Mur
frcosboro, savs !
. ....
"I am happy to see the splendid stand
you took iu the Teleyranh against slavcrv;
with its horrors, barbarltics"ind base ini
moralities. Slavery is "dead. .Nothing
can resuscitate it. To learn this fact
fully, you phould pay us a visit.. .There ir
not a nearo in the South that, docs not
know lie is free. Around here they have
squatted on plantations, and refuse 1 0 work '
for anybody but themselves. They have
sown little crops of their own, aud their
masters have ceai-cd to exercise any contrc!
over them.
" a nu ir.dicatlnn, I will cite a strong .
case. The lady of the house w here I ani
staying attempted to punish one of her
negro women thi3. morniug. I had to
step in to save mistress from being badly
