"High ho!" sighs Mr. Patron, "what a forlorn life it is to live alone?" and he drew his chair close to the fire and ensconced himself therein, wrapping his tricolored dressing gown about him. I wish I were married ! I know a lady boards in the same house too and I believe she'd have me if I were to ask her, I mean the pretty music teacher. ' She is young, delicate and amiable; only there seenit to be something melancholy about her, sho is a widow, I like her though and believe she likes mo, I'll think this over, I have plenty of money, and nobody to spend it upon. Yes I think I will ask pretty Madame Victor to marry me." v . Rap, rap, rap ! " Come in whoso thero ? " " Please sir, it's your clean clothes." " Clean clothes 1 and pray who are you, you little cherub, and where do you come from ?" " I am Lauretta, sir, and I live with Bridget, who washes your clothes, ami she sent me with the basket to-night." "Yes, I should think she did you little duckling; and the basket is larger than your-serf I Come and sit down in this chair by the fire and warm your toes thore, now, I want to talk with you. Are you Bridget's child ?" " Oh, no, sir ; and a look of care passed over the little face." " No, I thought not. Washerwomen's children don't have such eyes, nor such broad foreheads, nor sod hair. Well, birdie, how came you with Bridgot ? Uavo you no parents ? " I don't know. I only dream I have. Bridget lets me stay with hor bocauso I can sing." " Sing ! and what has that to do with it ? " "Oh sir. I sing my songs in the great houses and they give me sixponsos, and I take them to Bridget" "Aha, you pay your board then? Well little Lauretta, will you sing for me now ? " " Yes indeed," and the little one stands up in the middle of the rug, and opening hor rose bud mouth, she sings Casta Diva I " Bless my stars what a voice 1 I know something about music myself ; at least enough to know that such a voice should be a fortune to tho one that posseseeait Little one where did you learn that 1" "Nurse taught me." "Nurse! Who is nnrso ?" "Nurse is dead." The dark eyes fill with toars, and the ruby lips are quivering." Mr. Patron walks up and down the room. His curiosity is excited as well as bis pity. " Ploaso, sir, shall I have the baskot ? Bridget will scold me if I stay so long." "No little one, I will cwy tho baskot, I am going home with you." " Its up five flights of stairs, sir, and there is no light in the passage. " All tho more reason! I should go with you now I am ready.-' Come my little singer, you and I will be bettor acquainted before long. Don't fall down these steps ; keep hold of my hand ; hero we aro in Broadway. Now where do we turn ? down Prince street, hoy ? and now down Crosby. What 1 do vou live in this alley ? Oh never (ear, little Casta Diva, I shall tread safoly enough while this little hand leads mo. Ugh 1 how many more flights aro thore t only two? Well, I can climb them if you can. So, is this the door. "Och, and U It you, Sir, that would be after coming to so a poor woman at this hour? Will you be seated sir," said Bridget, wiping wooden chair with bar aproau Your shirts were not ironed to b suiting ye, may be ?" "Shirta all right, BrklgtU 1 cam t briag home your little girl, ami to ask you something about her. She baa been singing to me YULiottJell lae-WhaTa-a"-8 '"- tm " o take a deal o'troublo for a lone bit of a children, indocd sir ; but hor atory is not so very long, Sho lived with a furron woman, in tho room below, named Theresa. The woman she wos waiting maid in Lauretta's family in Italy, somowhere and whilo sho was out with the child, thon only two years old. wr mo suite oi tne air tiicro came a big row in the city, and the child's father was in tho mid. die of it, and got kilt ; and when sho reached the houso, all in a fright, sure it was on fire and tho mother of it gono, and niver was she ablo to find it. So sho kept the child and comes to America with it ; for she heard how the streets wore paved with gold, and when sho camo and found nary gold nor food but lor me wonting, she had to go to work, as all wo poor creatures do ; an' sho took in washing in tho one room down stairs ; but niver a bit would she lot the child do for itselt ; but waited on it like a slave, and only taught it to sing, "as its mother did before it," she said: and last Theresa died. This poor creathor took on so bad that I took her myself only I'll be bringin' her up differently, intirely ; I'll teach hor to earn her bread, at any rate and so I send hor out everv dav. to sine to the great folks, an' makes her help mo to carry around the clothes, and that is all sir." " It was very good in you Bridgot, to tako the little orphan ; vou have saved her from a sad fato ; you will be rewarded you may do-tend."Bridget raised her 6yebrows and dropped a courtesy, while little Casta Diva, as Mr. Patron then, and ever since has called her, hid her face in the bed and sobbed to hear her own story related. The kind gentleman looked at her tenderly, and then continued : " I have a plan for this poor child, which will relievo you of your chargo, and repay you or your gooancss oi neart. uood night little one ; I'll come to-morrow. Dry your tears, for I will yet make you happy . Here, Bridgot is some money for you, and be sure you do not send hor out to sing again. I have something better for her to do. Bridget dropped anothor courtesy ; and hor mouth openod wide for she was all mvstiflcd and bewildered. An hour lator and Mr. Patron Is asain seat ed in an easy chair boforo his bright coal fire, with his dressing gown once more folded around him. The only difference is that he smiles instead of sighing as he did before. "An, yes," he says. " I see my way clear I can now, without hesitation, call upon Mad- amo Victor in hor room, to interest hor about my little Casta Diva. I will tell her tho story and engage her to cultivato the voice of my little protege. I will seo her to-morrow morning, and perhaps sho will accompany me to Bridgot's lodging. Not a very romantic waiK to invito ine laay ot my heart to share, but then the circumstances are peculiar."' " Now I think of it, I must cngngo of my land lady the littlo bed room next to mino. I am determined to adopt that singing chorub for my own. 1 will chango her name to Cas ta Diva Patron. It sounds musical, and she is musical herself. If sweet Madame Victor only sees in her what I do we shall be an ama-ling happy family. I declare I feci like a husband and father already. I shall find enough to do with my money after all." And so he goes to bod and dreams of his future joys till he fairly laughs aloud in his sleep. Now it is morning, and if you will put your head out of your door, you can seo him walking along tho Hall. He stops at No. 8 knocks gently ; but the rich toned piano, touched by a thrilling hand, does not allow so love-like a tap to be heard. This timo ho knocks loudor, the music stops, and the door is opened by a beautiful woman, who smilingly invites him to entor. Well, I don't wonder he fell in love with her ! They closed tho door. Let's you and I go and peep in at the key-hole and hear what they havo to Ray. I'll never toll will you ? Hark 1 Wen after all I can't toil what they said now ; because I promised I wouldn't; but Mr. Patron has staid in thero a great whilo, and be don't ask her to sing or play all the timo. Now the door opons again and thoy come out togother ; he in his overcoat and hat ; she in hor cloak and velvet bonnet. Ho looks very much excitod, and she looks pale and trembles so she can hardly speak. Sho takes his offored arm, and goes down stairs and out of the street door. I do believe they are going to Bridget's. And so they aro. Good Mr. Patron walks slowly with tho sweet lady, for sho has every reason to trom-blo, sho believes sho is Lauretta's mamma ; for she has been telling her friend how her husband was killed in a dreadful mob one day, becauso ho was a great politician, and whon thoy had burned his house thoy took and throw her into prison, where site remained a whalo year and only made her escapo when during the terriblo trouble in Italy, tho prison doors were unbarred to all. Sho sought frantically for her child, but in vain ; and believing that both Lauretta and hor nurse were crushed in tho mob that killed hor husband, she came to America to try to-l earn a livelihood among the hospitable stran gers by hor fine musical education and uncommon voico. Madame Victor beliaves that Lauretta is hor child, because their stories are so strongly aliko. Five years have passod since sho left Italy; but she knows that hor eyes will not doceivo her. Her.buby's features are imlolia- bly engraved upon her heart. Her kind friend supports her up five flight of stairs, and she stops to take breath and to nerve horsolf for cither intense happiness or disappointment. Thoy are about to enter tho room, when a little voice greets bcr ears, singing with wonderful power and expression, an Italian melody, which the lady horself used to sing in her own sunny land She stops and grasps the arm of hor friend' "Oh, wait, she whispors, "let mo try," with a great cfTort, she continues and completes tho unfinished strain in a voice that an angel's might not exceed. He opons the door. Lauretta stands in the contra of the floor, alone, pale and agitated; her groat eyes dilated with emotion long repressed. Her mother's voice has reached a spot in hor littlo heart, which vibrates on her memory like a glimpse of hoaven. Madamo Victor sinks upon a chair, and gases long and earnestly upon tho little motionless ficuro; thon she stretches out hor arras and whispers, "come hore." Lauretta slowly advances, and when she is close to the lady, she nestled her head upon hor bosom, and draws a long and deep sign. " Tell me your name, sweet one." The lady presses the little form still closer. " Darling, I am your mother 1" " I know it," sighed the child. " You know it, my angel I " " Yes 1 I have seen you in my dreams, Mid always called yon "mether," and when you mm tiial tins. ,1 timnrrlit tt alt Kartc f ' "S v" . w. n '" " Good Mr. rtron went to the window and wiped his eyes.. Once again wo see him sitting in his easy chair before tho bright coal tiro. By his sido sits a ucautuui lauy ono hand lies on his, and tho other was tenderly stroking his hair, but her eyes aro resting: upon the littlo fairv who sits at tho piano, silently dreaming over some of Handel's music which hor papa has brought homo to her. The lady is his wife. Tho fairy is his " Costa Diva." An Act to Prevent Slnveholdlng and Kidnapping in Ohio.

Virginia Emigration. The American Homestead Company Becoming Knoton by its Fruits. Astor House, May 12, 1857. TO THE EDITOn OI TUB EVENING PcNT I Two weeks ago, Rev. Mr. Lorviaux, a Protestant minister of Franco, called upon me in company with Mr. Wm. R. Lawrence, of Boston, to make somo inquiries about land in Virginia. Thoy were seeking homes for tho freedom-loving Waldonses of tho High Alps in tho southeast of Franco, who prefer a milder climate than that of our north-westorn territories. I gave tltem such information as I possessed in regard to tho soil, climate and social condition of tho different localities of Virginia, most likely to suit them, and of tho protection they might expect from the Emigrant Aid and Homestead Company. -Mr. Lorviaux has been to visit tho State, and called again upon me to-day to say that ho had secured thrco thousand acres of good land for a congregation of somo five hundred in Monnngahela. county, Va., within eight miles of Morgantown, tho scat of the county, and on the Monongahchr river, and within twenty miles of the Pennsylvania line, at tho moderate price of seventy-five cents per acre. He thinks the report ho will bear to the French Protestants will induce many thousands to leave a eountry where their rights are but poorly protected, and where land, of no more value than that ho has just bought, owing to tho crowded stato of population, is worth from three hundred to five hundred dollars per aero. Virginia, I do not doubt, will reclaim these countrymen of Lafayette, possessing the faith of the Hugenots, of the Jays of Now York, and tho Marions of South Carolina. J. C. UNDERWOOD, Secretary American Emigrant Aid and Homestead Company. 07" Brigham Young, tho hoary old poly-gamist of Utah, is A member, in full fellowship, of the Democratic party, and Bcrnhois-sol, tho many-wived delogate from tho Mormon country, participated as an activo and accepted Democrat in the ceremonies of the inauguration of Buchanan, Perhaps the staunch Democracy of these polygamisU may account for tlw supinencss of the administration in punishing tho crimes and rascalitios known to have boon committod by the Mormons in Utah. Lou. Jour. Who commissioned the hoary old p&lyga-mist Governor of Utah, but your precious Fillmore ? Hume, the Spiritualist. We understand that Mr. Humo, the cole brated medium, made a fortune in France, and has purchased a valuable farm upon N orth river for some of his relatives.

Mwirnin lull anil litltmmn From the Richmond South, Stay IA KANSAS A FHEP. BTATR--WAHIUNO TO THIS SOUTH. We have information which warrants tha conclusion that Kansas will come into the Union as an anti-slavery State. We say an anti-slavery State, becauso we mean to imply that its political status will not correspond with its-geographical position, but will bo as oxtreiua in its antagonism to tho institutions of tha South, as if tho Territory lay in tho latitude of Maine or Massachusetts. Secretary Stanton's speech, at which tha abolitionists aflcct such indignation, divulged the secret. Tho plan is to submit tho constitution which will bo framed by tho Juno Convention, to all tho inhabitants- of tho Territory, and not exclusively to the people who are recognized as voters under the act of tho Legislature. Mcintvliilo tho Abolitionists of the North are stimulating emigration to Kan sas by overy conceivablo oxpedient. The several Aid Societies havo resumed operations with unprecedented spirit and activity. If they have been a littlo lagzard heretofore, it was an artifice, a piecj of fincsso and the aro now employing whip and spur, with tho design of dashing by tho South in running down tho fjiiartor-stretch. And they will succeed. Tho South is taken by surprise.' Confident of victory, wo have relaxed in our exertions, and wiil struggle in vain to rally on so sudden an occasion. The North M pouring people into Kansas, in the proportion of twenty to ono immigrant from tho South. At this rata the abtnittomsts will achieve a docisivo preponderance of numbers, by tho time tho constitution comes to bo submitted for final sanction and acceptance. Of course the constitution will then l rejected, if it involve a tolerance of slavery, and anothor con vention will be called, which, representing ex clusively the dominant abolition sentiment of the Territory, will fabricate a free Stato, without tho lea-it dilliculty, and in tho hottest hasto. This is the rnolus opcran li by which the South is to lie cheated in tho admission of Kansas. Always fettered by form and pliant in spirit, tho South will make no resistance, but will embraco iu now black republican bride with as passionate a joy as it accepted the lowd proposal of California. What then Y As whon a city capitulates after an obsti nate and bloody resistance, it is delivered up-to military license and tho rngo of vongeanco, so will Kansas suffer from tho excesses oftha-anti-slavery resentment which has been pro voked in tho progress of tho recent struggle. The anti-slavery maiority in tho Stato, being composed not ot industrious and law-abiding immigrants, but of tho fanatical emissaries of Now England, enlisted and disciplined for tha work of propagating abolitionism, will bo impelled, as woll by tho circumstances of their situation as the instincts of their nature to press forward upon the career of conquest which thoy havo initiated with so signal a triumph. Kansas will become an outpost of Abolitionism, garrisoned by tho most restless, adventurous and fearless spirits which may bo rallied in support of tho cause. The first blow will fall upon Missouri, whoso iront.cr lies opon to tho ravages of tho enemy, and whoso power of resistnnco is enfeebled by do mestic distraction ami disauection. With Il linois on ono flank, Kansas on tho other, and "emancipation" triumphant and dehant in the heart of tho State, Missouri will fall an easy and early prey to anti-slavery propagan-disni. It will bo so ; no power can prevent tho catastrophe if Kansas is lost to tho South. Rut that is not nil, nor tho worst. Tha anti-slavery movement will increase in mo mentum at each step of its progress ; for every success will multiply its resources, and stimulated to yet moro audacious enterprises. From the vantago ground of Kansas, it Will bo enabled to subdue slavory in Missouri. The conquest of Missouri will open tho way through Kentucky and Tennesso to the stronghold of slavery in the Atlantic States of tho South. Moinwhile, other abolition forces from New England, in the diguiso of free labor colonics, will be operating directly upon Maryland and Virginia ; and so hemmed in by a constantly contracting circle, shivery must ultimately expuo ot its own internal pressure and suffocating weight, even if it does not first fall under some assault or violence. This is no hazardous prophocy. It is only tracing tho connecting between visiblo cause and inovitablo olfects. Such is the doom of slavory unless the South resolve in season to intercept the catastropho by somo adouuato measure of protection. hat is that Governor Wullicr'i Speech at the Astor House. At a dinner party at the Astor House, Now York, on Tuesday evening last, Gov. Robert J. Walker made a speech in which bo mapped out his Kansas policy. The substanco of his remarks is given as follows in tha limes : Tho pewfe of that Territory had a clear1 and unipicHtinnablo right to decide for themselves upon tho adoption of a Stato Constitu tion oml any attempt on tho part of any Convention, or any other body of men, however respectable and influential they might be, to impose upon the Territory a Constitution not sanctioned by tho popular vote, would be a usurpation and a wrong which could not bo tolerated for a moment. So far as the utmost exercise of bis official powers and his personal influence would go to secure that result, Gov. Walker said he was determined the people of Kansat should Itavean opportunity for a fall, free and solium expression of tlwir milt upmt ths adoption of any Constitution tliat might be framed after a fair ant sutwfactory census of alt the bona file in'iabitanls tolto might bs in the Territory at the time. He considered this due to them. It was part of their inherent and in-alicnablo sovereignty. Anil ho should consider it, not only a point of law and of ofTl-' cial duty, as an olliccr of the Territory, but a point of honor at a man anl a gentleman, to do everything in his power to socitro to them tha full, fiiir and undispvtcd cxcrcio of tliU un-damontal right. This he believed to be tlu great point essential to the pcaco and wclfar of Kansas. If the people could hare such ' vote, nil distentions would be settled. And-ho regarded all tho past diOvrenccs the corr--tests about tho Legislature, about the Topcka ; Constitution, about tho census and register of voters as preliminary quostiona J important, undoubtedly, but deriving most of their consequence from their relation to this great and paramount uucslio'ii the right of tho people) , of Kansas to decide for themselves upon tko Constitution which may 6o ollered for tliotr adoption.
