How the matter concerns a young lady at all I can't imagine; so I fail to see what interest you can have in it, or what right to move in it."

The first, signed by President Buchanan as one of his last official acts, and accepted and indorsed by Lincoln in his inaugural address, was in these words: "No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere within any State with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State."
But, finding that I could hardly write with my right hand and couldn't write at all with the other, I contented myself with scrawling laboriously a short note to Gustave de Berensac, which I put in my pocket, having indorsed on it a direction for its delivery in case I should meet with an accident.

Hardhand's covetous soul had already grasped the glittering gold; and removing his hand from the latch string, he approached the widow. "I shall be able to pay you forty dollars now," said Mrs. Bright, taking the five dollars she had saved from her pocket. "Yes, marm." Mr. Hardhand took the money, and seating himself at the table, indorsed the amount on the back of the note.
On the strength of Starratt's application for a change a new rate was published about the middle of May. Starratt was jubilant. Here was proof for Hilmer that his interests were being guarded and that it paid to employ an efficient broker. He flew at once to Hilmer's office. "Let me have your policies," he burst out. "I've secured a new rate for you and I want the reduction indorsed."
