Like nn evnne?ccnt blot, That seems like a holy feeling
Bogrimed with an impuru thought, —'Twas thus lay the quiet valley

O'er listening hills and dells. Thc soldiers calch thc cadence
Borne out nn the distant nir. And it comes to their wary apirits

This laat obBerTation did not reaoh the ear of " Lady Gay Spanker,'; and that UU author¬ ess ran glibly on.
"Perhaps you may bare heard of my last novelette in that paper, called * The Soariet Enighl of the Fiery Castle, or the Lady in the Dnnstable Bonnet.'

With whioh la^it expre.ssi >n of di^i^nat, the speaker, who was by f.tr too young and hand¬ some for snch heretical opiuioua, ilirnw him self into an arm chair, urosied one leg easily over tho other, and began unfoldim^that day's Herald. Tbe perrions addrt^s^ed were two young gentlemen wbo stood by tbe window looking out at the evfr-ehifting panorama of life, on Broalwar. One, Mr. VVarucliff's par¬ ticular friend and orouy, Mr. Tom Withers; theother, a tall, disliuguished looking yonng man, who, beiu^ interpreted, waa one Charles Hammond, M. I>.
"Only hear bim," said the laller gentle man, with a slight langh," talking of things be knows nolhing about. Do yon really, and tmly, and aerionaly mean to say, Wamcliff. that you don't believe in snch a feeling as love ?"
"Ireally, and truly, and seriously do—at least, in that nndying, broken-hearted, wisby- ; washy sentiment found in twenty-five cpnt novels, and in the heads of bread-and batter , Bohool-girta. I remenibwr, once when I was anch, loeg ago, they Rave me a dose of tartar- emetic, and to tbis day, it gives me exactly the samft feeliug wiih wbich I swallowed it, to hear and read all thia rubbiah aboni love. No, Mr. Hammond; in lUe exiatence of lhat sort of love I have uo faith whatev-jr!"
" Helen Gordon jilted yoa, didn't she ?" ex¬ laimed Mr. Tom Withers, facing round sud¬ denly, wilh rather amalicions gleam in hia eye.
' Now here, in thia paper, for instance," { went on Mr Wamoliff, oompoae.dly, yet with a slight finsh, " ia a long column of elope¬ ments, moally very youug pirla—find- vi^ry young girls are aboat tbe greenest softeat olass of humans ia existence. They, I have no donbt, believe themselves in lovo in ihw most desperate sorl of way ; but bow mnuh faith will they have in the feeling three yeara from now, when they cut their wisdom-teeth ?

" Wbioh he'd be a fnol ifhe wasn't, " rough. Iy broke in Mr. Tom Wl:hera.
" And tbat there was the slightest possible Buapioionof azureinMra. H.'s pedal drape¬ ries," oontinued Warnoliff, not notiomg tbe Interruption. " So, 1 beg you won't be off¬ ended at my private opiniona publicly ex¬ pressed. I forgot altogether, at the moment tbat you were bo unfortunate aa to be a married man, and to have a o«raieaa of tbe Becond sex (aa Byron eaya) for a yokefellow through life."

"N", and with reverence be it said, il's a pleaaure I abould worry much if I never had. I detesl tbe whole race of blue-hold on a moment, lill I get a light—yes, I abhor and dr^ad literary ladiea. and never want to come within arm's lengrh ofthe tribe." **Yon wouldn't marry one, then ?" "The gods forbid I ihat way madness liea t To marry a female gorilla were bliss to such a falo I"
Lighting their cigars, the two young genUe¬ men ran dowu the hotel steps, and, arm and arm, sauntered leisurely down Broadway.
What evil spirit ever prompted poor Ham¬ mond to marry this, authoress, I wonder ?" gaid Wamcliff, compassionately, "and where had be the miafortune to find her?"
in the country—in some Vermout viUage. 1 believe.
Mr. Warncliff took bis cigar out of bis montb, and made a slight grimace.
Worse and worse ; a conntry girl, an au¬ thoress* and a down-easter, at tbat! That poor devil, Hammond 1 Whatever triala fate and tbe future may have for me, be it nothing like that."

Mr. Withers look bis cigar between hia fio ger and thumb, knocked the ashna carefully off the eud wilh the lip of hia little finger, aud replaced it.

Hammond, for instance, is not altogether aa u^cly aa some gushing yonng gorillas, and might even stand competition witha tolerably good looking onrangoutaug." ^^Mirabile dictu /" said Wan'cliff, laughing, and making a .'ilight grimace. "Slill, sbe dab¬ bles iu ink, and I pity Hammond all tbe eame. Bv Jove!" he t-x.Tlnimed, staniui,' with sud¬ den animation, "tbat was grac*<fnl]"
" Well," said Witbera, looking aronnd in¬ qniringly. " what uow ?"
A swaying sea of oriuo-ine, ahining ailks, fiutteriug plumes, pretty fact's, and perfumed paraaoU were fi..'ating np Broadway on the aristotiratic aide. Mr. Warncliff. coolly eying the glancing line, had just espi«d one pretty little fairy ateppiug oni from a dry goods palace, to whom a gentleman, in passing, ratsed his hat. The litlle beaaty answered the salntrt with a smile so bright aud a bow so airy lhat it had elicited au irrepressible excla mation of adaiiratien from oar cynical (oung friend. Mr. Withets, happening to look in time, eyed her with a critical glance.
"Well, the yonng Indy has made a how. In tbere anythini; extraordinary in that, tbat you Bhould go o&-laiming on the etreet like au idiot ?"
"But, Witbera, what a pretty liltle faee! There sbe goea—no Spanish donna ever trip¬ ped more airily thau that I Snch a perfeot lit¬ tle sylph! I wish I knew her.-'
Mr. Tom Witliers threw away the butt-end ofhiasmokod ont cigar, with a look of infinite dispust.
" 'No auch'think aa love!—all girls are ail¬ ly I—no man should take a wife as long aa he can posaibly help it I' And, then, 'pretty little face I—graceful little aylpb I—wiahes he could see her I' Mr. Warnoliff, will you mind my in¬ timating, iu the mildest possible way, that yon're a fool!" Wiimctiff langhed oareleasly. "Not at ail. CaU me that, or anything else lhat will relieve your mind ; but, still, lean admire that iittie girl, and be consistent, too
I always waa an admirer of beauty, whelher in marble, cauvaa, or the human face diviue, and I admire all iu about the same wav."
" Humpii! There's a alight differenoe, I fan¬ cy, bf tween women in marble and picture- frames and women aa God made them—adif- f-r.*nca which yoa willfind out some day, I've a uotion. [ haven't the slighlest doabt, now, if you kuew lhat crinolined angel, yon would be madly iu love with her before the new moou wanes !"
"No, said Mr. Warncliff, composedly, "I think uot. Bat, Wilheia, I never saw a pret- tii;r face in all ray life !"
The enlogizsd fairy had anddenly stopped to .-^hake hauda with another smiling, silken- robed damstfl; aud the two yonng gentleman had for an inatant an excellent view of ber.— Mr. Tom Withers raised hia glass, and favor¬ ed her with a look of aevere critiuiam. It was a pretly face—an Amerioan girl's face—fair aud delicate as a wan japonica, with large, soft, perilously bright-blue eyea, balf-wistful, balf langhing, and wholly beautiful—amonth like a Ultle child's—roay, smiling, dimpled, pure, and passionless. Wilh this dangerons little face, went tbe jaantlest little figare in the world—trim, ronud, airy, and eminently embraceable. Mr. Warnoliff, as be said, was an ardent admirer of the beantiful; and he fairly held his breath as the shining vision kiaaed the tip of its lavender kids, and with auolher of its bewitching bowa, tripped off.— Mr. Withers, being raiher phlegmatic, at times lowered his^glaai, with an approving Uuie nod.   "Ahl abe'i not bad looking—thatia,
Natnre, and I aball be bappy to have yon tell me what you saw in that to make a snbject for your nntimely mirth."
" Bah bh I" said Withers, with suoh a shake on the final lelter that it sounded like the bleat of a new-bora calf, " no more of that.— And you love, Hal ? Come, it's getting Iale; your angel has disappeared, and it ia time we were tuTuing onr steps homeward, to dress for Mrs. Hammond'a reception."
"Confound Mrs. Hammondl" growled Wam¬ cliff, behind hia moustache. " I wiah she was at Jericho ! Only for her, and her confounded recaptiona, I ahonld have foUowed, and—"
Mr. Warnoliff ohecked himaelf, coloring like a giri at the intensely malicioua look in hia friend's eye.
Silently they walked home. It would be hard to say ou what sabjeot Mr. Witber*8 stu¬ pendons mind was concentrating Itaelf; but hia companion's were.oertainly followiufit tbe airy vision in glittering ailk. At the hotel- atep.", lhey parted—Mr. WarncUff to go np to his rooma, and Mr. Witbera to step on lo his own home, a few blocks diatant.
"j2u r«otr, Warncliff," called tbat young centleman after him. " Be faithful and fear not! I will be by your side, aud I promise to guard yon from the inky clutches of Mrs. Ham" mond.   Sharp eight, remember 1"
" 'I will meet you .at PhiUippi 1' " langhed Warucliff, aa he ran up staira. Providence, that has watched over me for twenty five yeara will gaard me to-nipht, even nnder tbe roof of lhat awfal Mra. Hammond.
"AU ready, Warncliff ?;' ' 'AU ready, Witbera.   Is tbe dreadfal hour, then, at haud ?"
"The dreadfnl honr, big with fate, baa come. The drawing room ia full; so prepare to meet yonr doom !'"
"My doom 1 Ahl I could meet that; bnt to meet a live authoress ia another thing I" aaid Mr. W-»rncliff, wilh a deep sigh and a depress ed look, as he jerked down his vest, pnlled up hia shirt-collar, gave a few artistic touches to his hair aud mustache, aud, looking very handaome and very well dressed, prepared to enter the drawing room.
As Wilhera had said, everybody waa there; and everybody seemed to be enjoyiug them¬ selvea, and laaghing, chatting, fiirting, and promenading, and having altogether a very sociable little time of it. Considering that the mistress of the honse waa a blue-stocking, tbe drawiup, room looked extremely well, with its pretty Brnsaels carpet, ita curtains of gold and orimson, its grai'd piano, inlaid tables, pretty pictnres, vases, and statnettea ; and so Mr- Warncliff waa obliged reluctantly to con¬ fess. But, thought that cynical yonng gen- tleit'an, the servanta, of couri^e, have every¬ thing in order for to-night. Poor Hammond conid tell a different story, I dare say.
Poor Hammond himaelf, looking anything but miaerable, espied lhem at this momHut, aud came up, witb smiling face and extended haod.
"Mr. Warnoliff-Mr. Withers, you ara wel¬ come 1 Warncliff, yoa don't know Mrs. Ham¬ mond. Come, I am anxioua to give you an introduction.
Witu tbe deep aigh of a persecuted but pa¬ tient aaint. Mr. Warncliff submitted to be led, like a Iamb to the alaugbter. A gay group were oouveraiug at one end of the room, and ic the centre stood a tall lady, iu purple aatin, whom Warncliff conid have taken hia oath was Mrs. Hammond. Not that ahe exaotly answerad hia deecription of that authoress— for, thongh tall and somewhat a»Uow, the lady was undeniably handsome, but of a showy and dashing aort of beanty, whicb Mr. Warncliff did not approve of. She wore no green apec- taoles ; inatead, her dark eyes wore a piercing brilliancy ; her hair was not frowsy—its coro¬ net of braida shone like blackjsatin; her dress waa not slovenly—full, flowing, aud ample, i* fitted lo perfection; ahe was not slip-ahod- hnr arched and pretty feet were luoaaed in the daintiest of gaiters. Bot Mr. Warnoliff represRsd au exalting cry ; the pretty, taper middle finger of her jeweled right haud bore a deep and unmistakable amudfje of ink I "Mra. Hammond, my friond, Mr. Wamcliff." Mr. Warncliff, bow do yon do ?" aaid the lady, in ratber a stern tone of voice, fixing her piercing dark eyes fnll upon him, aud shaking his hand aa if it bad beeu a pnmp handle.— "I have heard my husband speak of yon ao ofteu, that I'm really delighted to make your acqaaintance."
"Madam, the delight ia mutual." murmured Mr. Warnoliff, lookiug wildly about him, aa if in the hope of eacape."
"And that dear young man, Mr. Witbers I" went ou tbe lady in the same large tone. "I bope you have brought him. I fairly dote on him, he aaya such witty things ; and I alwaya keep my tableta and pencil abont me to write down hia mots, and send them to the editor of the New York Cimetar. Yon may have seen some of them in tbe columns of that naefnl and ornamental jonrnal, under the aignatare of 'Lady Gay Spanker,' my num de ptume,you. kuow. He reminds me ao muob of that dear delightful Mr. Gammon, iu 'Ten Thonsand a Year'—did you ever read 'Ten Thoasand a Year' Mr. Warncliff T"
"No ma'am," aaid Mr. Wamcliff, in a aub- daed tone, and with a deep aigh.
"Ah 1 yon ought to, then—it's a most de-i lightfnl book t so muoh valnable Information I In it about law mattera and the EngUah right' of entail. Tittlebat Titmouse, too, ia auch a delightfnlly original creature ; and Lady Ce cilia—do you know lhey alwaya said up to Vurmcnt that I waa exactly like Latly Cfoilia ; she married Titmouse, you know, Mr, Warn¬ oliff."
'•Did sbe f" eaid Mr. Wamcliff; glaring In a frenzy of desperation at Hammond, who stood by, evidently lost In admiration at his wife's learning.

cloud of paarly white, exquisitely brief in the artiole of sleeve and neok; there was the samj eweet, tender, beautiful liltle face, tha same distracting azure eyes, the same shining little roae-bud of a mouth, tbe same sbower of glittering gold hair. There she was, her en¬ trancing, dazzling, blessed little self I enough to drive a whole regiment mad at first sight; and there, bending over ber, slood Mr. Tom Withers, holding forth to her as freely and eaaily as if he had been her grandfather. Mr. Wamoliff atood astounded-ibanderatrnck.— And migbt have stood there since, perfectly speechless, if Mr. Withers, looking up, had not anddenly oangbt sight of him. The next moment, with the lady on his arm, be was atanding before him, and Mr. Warnoliff heard, Uke one in a dream ;
" Miaa Olive, allow me to present my friend, Mr. Wamoliff. Wamoliff, I shaU leave Miss Oiive in your charge for a few minntes, while I go and hunt up Hammond."
He was gone. Mr. WarncUff, stUI in a state ofsemi stupor, saw the dearest Utile white hand in tht* world held out to bim ; saw tbat blessed little faoe, with the most bewildering of smiles, upturned to him ; beheld the rosy lipa nucloaed, and bis name prononnced in tones to wbich those of an aiolian harp were discord. It was to much bliss, aud coming as it did after ita reoent paroxysm of misery, nearly turned Mr. Waruoliff'a head. How he answered that fairy vision—how be ever wit h- atocd the entrancing gazd of thoao bewitching, balf i.iugbing, half-loving, wholly distracting azure eyea, witboat there and then faUiug at her feet, and imploring her to be Mrs. W. He oonld not tell. How that dear little band came to be nestling ao confidingly within his ooat-aleeve, or how they happened lo be walk¬ iug round the long "room witb the delicious Uttle darling chattering like a magpie, Mr* Warnoliff never knew—but one thing he did know, and that waa, tbe seventh heaven of eoatasy waa no longer a myth, but an intoxi¬ cating reality. With those splendid eyes looking ao shyly and tenderly np tohia—eyea snme fifty falhoma deep, more or Ieaa, in each of wbich be saw himself, such a sparkling, danoing, glittering Uttle fellow. Ah 1 Mr. ' Wamcliff was perfectiy and uuolondedly hap¬ py for once in his life. "Come wbat wonld be had been blessed,'' as Captain Marryatt saya of married men ; and then she was snch a dear littlo tbing every way, with the aweet¬ eat, aoftest langb, and the prettiest, graceful eat way ofsaying tha commonest things. No wonder Mr. WarncUfl" we nt a little out of hia bead, and forgot that there waa aome thirty odd pair of eyes turned upon him ; forgot there was no suob thing as love ; forgot bis friend and pitcher, Mr. Tom Withers, would bt* apt to poke fun at him the next day on the subject; forgot even. the existence of that fearfnl creature, Mrs. Hammond, the author¬ ess ; forgot everythiug bnt that a certain pair of blue eyea were fioaiing in liquid aplendor somewhere ui'ar bim, aud tbat aometbing un¬ speakably delicious was banging on hia arm and setting hia heart thumping in the most extraordinary and uncommon way. "If I could only keep ber altogetlier," was hia dee- perale thonghl; "if I could only take her home with me, and bave ber all to myself for the rest of my life"—he paased, the delirioaa idea made him so dizzy that Uttle Miss Olive look¬ ing ap iu hia radiant face, broke out witb the amallest and sweetest of soprano cries :
"Why, Mr. Warnoliff, what is the matter^ You look so—so queer," wbat a gay little laugh " Wbat on eirtb are yoa thiuking off"
" Of you, Mias Olive I" exolaimed that smit¬ ten young gentiemaa, lookiug at her witb soch desperate earneatness that sweet, beautifal eyes flew wide open in the prettiest amaze. "Mias Olive, Hove—"
" 0 let U3 ba joyful I joyful, joyful, joyful ?" iu tbe bland voioe of Mr. Withers, reoalled our Romeo from his frantic expose, and brought him back with a start aud a sbock from fairy laod to the dreaded drawing room ofihe blue stocking. And looking up, there she stood— she and Mr. Witbora, the oeutre of an admir¬ ing oirole, both talkiug together very loud and faat, and with none of tbe ecstasy one would be apt lo look for, judging from Mr. Withers rapturoua quotation.
"Olet us be joyful!" exclaimed thai yonng man, rather fiercely. " I tell yon, Mra Ham¬ mond, ma'ma, that I'm rigbt, and you're wrong ; and that those are the exaot words. I'll leave it to the company—to Mias Olive for instance ; and bere she is."
" Oh, don't ask me I" said tbat little moon¬ light fay, claaping hor bands witb a look of horror over her ears.;" I don't know anything about these dreadful learned subjecte, and I oan't bear to hear any one talk about tbem. Lst na go away, Mr. Wamoliff, tUl they've doue teljing people to be joyfnl."
" You Uttle angel I" thought Mr. Wamoliff. "Tbere are no muscuUne horrors about you, Can I ever make her love me, I wonder ?"
With snob unanswerable query he waa turning away with her, when Mr. Witbera coolly interposed.
No, I gu^ss not I If it'a all tba same to yon, Mr. Warncliff, I eball release you of tbe troable nf taking care of Misa Olive for the rest of the evening. I merely lent her to yoa for a few minntes—do you understand ? Come mademoiselle. I haven't had tbo pleasure of hearing yoo aiug thia evening yet, as you wUi jnst bave the politeness to atep over to the piano, now and confer that inestimable favor upon me. Mrs. Hammond, I regret, I'm obli¬ ged to giva up that diacusaion for tha pres¬ enl ; hut, madam, I Inaiat npon it, that I waa rigbt, and yon were wrong."
So Baying, Mr. Witbera canght Mlaa Olive's hand wUb rather a savage jerk tban otherwise and drawing it within his arm, walked her aeverelv over to the piano, leaving hie bereav¬ ed friend perfeotly aghast.' Bnt the blessed tempered little augel berself aeemed to take to filasteir Tom quite as a matter of cooree aad flntUlrisg down like ft Uttle bird of pua- dlie In Iter gUsoiog plomftg*, nn ber fiogen
of male cognomens; and there was Dr. Charles Hammond bending over ber, aod was looking up in his eyes every time she came to that with snob a smile I Mr. Waracliff would bave given the nniverae, had he posseaaed it, for that smile. Dr. Charles Hammond waa hand¬ some, no doubl about it; but then be waa a married man ; and glancing at tbe lady in purple aatin, Mr. Waaneliff did—what be once thought the torturea of tbe Dark Ages could not make him do—thank Providence for the exiatence of an amboreaa.
Ab I how she sang I Aud how bopelessly tbat poor Mr. WarncUff was in love bafore sbe oame to the end of "Charley, my darUng, dar¬ ling!'' If she would only aay that to him— only lay that sparkling lily-leaf band in his, and say, "George, you may have it I"—if she'd only live wilh bim and be bis love—pour ont his coffee aoroas the breakfast table every moming—meet bim at the door every evening with a smile and a kias—aing for him like that at nigbt wbile he lay on the aofa looking up in tboae wonderfol eyea, and never tiring of the prospects if abe would only—
"Why, Mr. Wamoliff, wbat ia the matter t Are you iu a trance f"
It was tbe silvery voice of tbe fairy of bis dreama standing beaide bim, and tapping him with her fan.
"Mr. Withers, will you tell me what ails yonr friend ?" Mr. Witbera eyed bim serioasly. "Shouldbe happy to oblige you, my dear; bnt not knowing, oan't say. If it were any¬ body else, I shonid fancy he was in love; but Waracliff don't believe there is such a thing. Come, never mind bim, now ; I want to aee thoae steroacopio viewa you promised to sbow me. Waracliff, turn over the lady'a muaic, can't you I"—in a oross whisper—"What is the man thinking abont f Don't you see sbe is waiting?"
It was the dreadful female in purple satin ; and, like a man in adream, Warncliff turued to ob«y ; and laughing wickedly, Mr. Withers went off with the beaatiful little rosebud of tbe room. Onoe again wilhin the graap of that rnby femala fiend, eacipe was hopeleaa. Sbe was ainging a breezy French chansonette ; and again, considering sbe was an aatboreea, abe aang it well; bnt she might bave been a hyena, a aoreeohowl, for all Mr. Wamoliff knew. Once throngb with it, the fate he Bhrank frcm in borror became his—she seized him—that merciless woman in pnrple, and there ai]d then began a raking catechiam that in ten minutet left Mm in a state of hopeless idiocy. AU the re.it of tbe evening abe held bim fast. The Old Man ofthe Sea never olung to that glorious old sailor, Sinbad, half aa vi¬ ciously as she did to Iiim, keeping appall tha time a ceasele^-s fiow of dreadfnl literary talk, to which cmcifiction woald have been a mer¬ cifnl paniabment Aud all the time hia pet, his darliug, waa tbe centra of a gay gronp at the other eud of the room, wbere all waa fnn and laughter, und with Tom Withers and Dr. Hammond bending devotedly over her. At any other time, Mr. Wamcliff wonld probably have swom ; bul now he had annk to such a pitch of anguish tbat even that consolation wa.s denied him. No; he was in thf banda of fate, or what waa worse, an authoress, and muat ataud it. Aud stand it he did witb the sublime reaignation of a mat tyr, until the time came for breaking up, and ladies and gentlemen all hurrit>d np to don tbeir wrap¬ pings and go. AU but Peri ; atanding beaide Dr. Hammond, ahe made no motion wbatever lo leave him. Mra. Hammond, to his great anrprise, came down shawled and bonneled Uke the rest ; but little Miss Olive stocd qui¬ etly beside tbe doctor still. In bis ntter aiDazem<:nt he forgot everything, and ex¬ claimed :
" Why, Miss Olive, are yoa not going, too I" Dr. Hammond looked dowu at her with a peculiar smile.
" I think not, Mr. Warncliff; I dou't kuow as I could do without her. You would rather atay with me, Winnie ?"
He put hia arm aroand her and kiaa«d the I beautiful face.    She clasped bolh little handa ; around hia arm, nnd looked up at Mr. Warn cliff wilh a wicked little langb, as he saug : ¦'And Charley bc-'s my dariing. My iiarliug, my durling, '
And Chariey he's my darling, My own chevalier.'. "Yes, Chariey, I tbiuk I'll stay.     Good night, Mr. Warnoliff."
Mr. WarncUff did not say good-night, for the simple reason tbat he waa perfeotly apeech ¦ less. A band waa laid on hia arm, and Mr Withers whirled bim round, and began, iu a savage whisper:
"Warncliff, don't stand staring there Uke an idiot, but be off.    I am goiug home with this lady." The purple female was on hia arm. "And when I come back, I will tell you alj aboot it.    Now, go I"
Mr. Warnoliff did go. Walking straight home, looking neither to tbe rigbl nor to the left, uot thinking—for be was ioiig past that —but in a perfect atate of atnpefaotion, the young gentleman reaohed his rooma and sat down to await the coming of his frieud. Half an hour bronght tbat iudividnal, who ran up staira whistling "Love's Yonug Dream," en¬ tered with his hands in bis pookets, contem¬ plated Mr. Wamcliff for a moment, and then bnrat into an uproarious fit of laughter. " Well," eaid Mr. Warnoliff. "Weill I reckon it is well, and you bave been and gone and doue it beautifully, my dear boy I Clara ie a perfect jewel. I never knew before ahe was halfao clever an actreaa." "Who ia Clara?"
"Atall young lady   in purple satin, dark eyes, and vary attentive to yoa.. You know ber as Mrs. Hammond; I, aa Mias Clara Olive!" "Miss Oiive!"
"Tes, my dear Warncliff; and your Miaa Olive happens to be Mra. Charlea Hammond ! I kuow you are fond of praotioal jokes, and wben you saw Mrs. Hammond ou Thuraday, and aeemed rather to admire ber, I thought we would jast have a little innooent fun at your expenae, and paas her off as Miss Olive, wbo, hy-lhe-by happens to be ber couain; and is destined shortly to make yonr humble ser¬ vant the happiest of men—yon undereUnd f Of conrse, I mean noihiug could come of it, as you dou't believe in love ; and It was such a capital joke, to faear Clara, wbo never had a lino in print in ber Ufe, talking blue atook- ingiam at such a rate, and to eee your borrifi ed face; and how you Bought shelter from her by tbe side of the real culprit, tbat blue-eyed mite of womanhood, Mrs. Hammond. I say, Warnoliff, what do you think of tbat pretty Uttte peraon f Do you pity Hammond quite aa icnch now ae you did aix hours ago t"
WamoUff taraed abraptly, and walking to the window, looked steadily out.
" Of couTfie, you don't beUeve in love." aaid
not have bim think his father was a coward." |
" That ia a bard word. Kilty."
" 1 know it, John, but tbe oase demanda it. I would not bave yon lowered in our boy'a sight. Now, John Bragg, let yoa aud I talk aenae; let ua reason the matter togetber. You , are a good man, John—a good husband and a good fatber. Yon are a brave man, too, de apite your trembUng nerves. Who plunged inlo the river, just above tbe rapids, after poor Widow Carno's only son f Who flung himaelf before old Mi. Morris's mad borsea and aaved the old man'a Ufe ? Why, juat John Bragg. I know whai aila yon, Jobn; you are physical¬ ly nervons at either the report of fire-arma or the eight of blood. You have spent yoar life poring overbooks, and never tried to overcome ; the weakness. But you oan overoome it, and you must."
Tbis "must" was aaid smUingly.
" I must, indeed, Kitty; for the die is cast, and there is no esoape. I do not think it ia want of courage; and I am snre my beart glowa with love for my ooantry. You know, Kitty, I bave given freely of my poor means ; but whenever I think of going to battle, this strange tremor assails me, and I am reduced to the weakness of a ohild. I shall be disgraced, I know. Don't you wish you had a braver hasband, Kitty f I wonldn't blame you."
Bat Kitty did not hear. She sat by the kitchen hearth, leaning her brown head on the jamb of the hnge old fashioned obimney. Her thoughts at laat formed themselves into the words :
"I verily beUeve, John, it is athingyoucau- not help—it is your misfortnue, not your fault. Let na sell tbe place; Joe Martin wUl give yoa five bundred doUars for it, and then you can get a snbstituia. Weoan rent the Uttle red honse
on Murry'a farm, and then "
"Never, Kitty I talk no more—1 would in¬ deed be a coward then. What! deprive my loved oues of a home lo save my own bacou ? Never—never i It ia not my life I am afraid of, itiajnat tbedin of battle and the dreadful carnage. I will go, dear, aud you must help me to be brave, and do my duly."
-*¦*•••** Tbe moming came that the "boys'' were to join their regiment. There was many a lear abed by wivea, mother3,and aisters ; Bnt Kitty Bragg abed nono; she bad other work to do She stood with Jobn at the ond of the platform talking.
"My little Bible is in your koapaack, John: read it often: whenever you feeL that trem¬ bUng coming overyou, Johu, pray ; joat pray to God, and be will strongtben yoa. I know He will." 0 Kitty, bow can I ever Uve witbout you ?" This almoat upset the brave Utile woman ; but sbe soou stilled the quivering Up, and smiled throngh her tears. Wban th.^ order to "fall in" was given, John laid his bandon ber brown bair, and said tenderly :
"God bless you, Kitty ! you are the best wife ever a poor man had."
She Ufted up her mouth for a kiss, but the wbite lips were mnle; for tbe Ufe of her she could uot bave spoken. The train moved off, and Kitty went home. She shuddered ss she croaaed her door-step. Tbe ebiok ticked more louely than she had ever hoard ii; and all seemed like dHsolotion. Kitty sat down in her little sewing ohair aud wept like a child. Charlie came in ; bis face all a glow, and bis eyos flashing.
"Wbat I mother crying ? Why, I think ita a glorious thing to raise one's arm for one's country—a thing to die for," he said, rather dreamily.
"Yea, dear, it Is giorioua ; but it is sad, too. I would not call him back; but I will be very lonely."
After that ona bnrst of tears, Kitty was ber own oalm aelf again. Time passed on, and save that Kilty prayed oftener, and was griver thau her wont; one oould see Uttle change in her.
Charlie went off to scbool in tbe morniug, and ahe waa left alone all day. Brokeu ejacu lation? often escaped her Ups—prayers for tbe aafety and "alrenglhening" of ".Tohn ;" lill at last it became a habit. One Salurday ahe waa bakiug and cbniuing, and as usual hi^r heart was fnll of prayer for her husband.
"0 God, strengthen poor John, aud let him not flinch in the day of battle. . . . Char¬ lie, I ring me aome chipa ; and tbis fire wou't bnm."
The neighbor standing on tbe doorstep, amiled at tbe mingling of prayer and bnsineaa. "Have yon heard the newa, Kitty r" The fear that  John had deserted or done Bometbiog cowardly,   took all her strength away.   Sbe eank down on a chair faintly. "Wbat ia it, Mary ?"
"Wby, tbey had a riot in camp; some of tbe men deserted and some mutiued, and John —bless me, Kitty, yonr milk's nllbiliin' over! There, I sot it on the hack griddle." "What about Jobn. Mary ?" "Why, John was ^he ouly oue in hi-j com¬ pany that atood firm all throngh. He waa as brave as a Uou, though eome of tbebalf-crazy fellows threatened lo aboot him if be did not join tbem. He influenced our boys to be quiet and do their duty. He told them It would only ba for a Uttle while ; that after a while they wonld bave a belter camp and betjer ra¬ tiona. You kuow some of onr boys were pret ty wild, Kitty, and they might 'a got into trou ble. My Joaepb said be shouldn't wonder your Jobn came home yet with goU .straps on bis shoulders. His beiu' so brave, aud bavin' so muob influence over tbe meu, pleaeed Capt.
B  all to pieces.    Ain't yon glad. Kitty ?"
Btit Kitty was orying for very joy. Tbat lhe first news of John should be good.
"Jake eaid in hifl letter tbat he aaid to Jobn after tbe fnaa:
" *John, how could you be so brave and firm when tbere was snch a confuaion, aud lhem fellowa had their bay'nets pinted at yon ?' "Ssid your John, said he : "'Jaoob,I went there to do my duty, and I waa determined to do it; and besides, how could a man go back from the right path, witb snob a woman as tay Kiiiy at bome praying for me V "
This made Kitty's teara flow tbe faster; but tbey were joyful tears   .    .    .
At aome fature time I will tell of bow John's conrage stood tbe teat of the baltle field ; but, knowiug aU the circumatauces, I feel almoat sure Kitty Bragg wiU yet be pioud of her baa¬ band.
All ye yonng meu wbo fear tbe draft, go and find a wife like Kitty Bragg.

FOK   THE  LITTLE fOIKS.
The Blind Child.
The Grenada Appeal oalla the rebel troopa Invading Kentuckey " the arrows of ven¬ geance." We gueaa tbeso arrows wiU soon be all in a quiver.
A doctor and military officer became enam¬ ored of tbe same young lady. A friend asked whibb of the two suitors she  iutended
Withers, meditatively; « and abhor literary '. lo favor- She replied that it was difficult" to ladiea—would sooner many ft^Jrfllft, »ad aU ^ determine,« they wer« both luofa kUUng thftt aort of thing; bat yon aut srov ihs  onfttani."
It is eo beauliful to see the bright sunlight, and the green trees, and the colored flowers, and the moon and the golden stars ; but it a great deal more beautiful to look into the face of a good man and see the olear Ught of his kind eyes ! But little Panl could see noue of these things, for he was bUnd, and to him it waa alwaya night. Ab I how lonely and aad life mnst be when it mast be passed in per¬ petual darkuess I
Hi^ mother waa poor, and hi.-i fatber was dead; but the last words be said to bia weep ing wife were, "Trnat in God! God never forsakes his people 1" and then he cloaed his eyes aud died.
Now the pnor mother was all alone in the world witb her blind child, all alone, for she had neitber friends nor relations. Aud she had no money, either, but must work diligent¬ ly with ber needle lor ber living; but tbat abe did not mind, aud worked gladly, day aud nigbt, for her Uttle blind boy. The blind obild wag as dear to her heart, perhaps more so, thau thoae children who can see are to their mothera, for fa.; u-jeded it more. Some¬ times ahe did uot como home- for the wbole day, for she had lo go aod work for .strangers from oarly morning nutil late in the evening; aud all that tbe blind child waa alone. B ut no, not quite alone, either, for good Martba, tbe old woman wbo lived over the way, and whose room-dnor wa3 directly opposite the pnor mother'a, came several times in tbe conrseof the day lo look after Uttle Panl; she was snch a good, kind old hody I Bnt tben she could not stay with him long, for she mnst make haste and spin all ber wool if ahe would not go huugry- " Munter," tboagh, a little puppy-dog, and Bibi, a dear Uttle can¬ ary-bird, Htaid with bim all the while, aud kept him company. The canary-bird need to ait upon bis pillow and sing him tho aweeteat songs it knew; and w hen the Uttle boy let his hand hang down over the .side of the bed. Mnnter wonld run up and lick it; when Panl, too, wanted to get up, *hia aame sensible Mun¬ ter would take hold ot hia Uttle coat-sleeve and lead him up and down tbe room, that be sbonld not ruu againat a table or a cbair. He took such a walk every day.
The hoppieat time for the little boy, thougb, was Ibe evening, when his mother came home; it seemtfd liko day theu to bim. She used to put her Utile work-table close besido his little bed, and tell him, while dhe sewed away aa faat as she could, ot the blesaedneps of heaven, and of the good God and all the holy augels ; and so .she entertained him with the mo?t beanlifnl stories nutil late in the night—umil he i^hut his eyes for very weari¬ ness. Liltle Paul ofleu asked : "Moiher ian't the nigbt almost paat?" This cut the poor woman to the heart, aud sombtimea she hard ly knew what to anawer bim. "Wheu we get to beaveu,'' she said soroe-imes, "the nigbt will i>e at an end. Bat God's eyes can look tbrough lbe thickest darkue3>, aud be is al ways lookiug at you, even attbis moment,and keeping waiob overyou."
Tbus they lived together very pleasantly, until by and by Panl got to ba six years old. At that time the motber complained one raor¬ ning that sbe was sick, and so weak tbat sbe conid uot stand np; sbe had to stay io bed the whole day, and waa seized with a bnrning fever. The next day it waa still worse, so that she lost her mind. Good old Martha watohed over and tended both mother and (ihild faithfully ; bnt wheu another day paaa¬ ed, and stili the poor woman was no belter, the old woman run to tbo doctor and bronght him into the sick room. Tbe doctor was a kind, beuevoleut mau ; he felt the sick wO' man'a pnlse, asked a great many questions abont ber illnesa, and at last shook bis head. It i» always a bad sign when the doctor f hakee hia bead. When be saw Uttle Paul lying in bis bed, he aaid : " Tbat child mo-st not etay in this room, he mnat be taken away imme¬ diately, for tbe woman is very, very aick, Has ahe no relations or friends lo wbom be could be sent ?"
Theu old Martba answered:—"They have DO relations, and few care to im the friends of the poor; but Uttle Paul -is bliud."
TUe dootor took I'aul out of his Uttle bed, and carried him to the wiudow and seated bim on his lap. After he hal looked cloaely for a loug time at the sightless eyes, a brigbt smUe of pleaaure pafaed over bia face. Withoat saying a word, be took the ohild iu bia arms, Sbud carried bim acroas the street to a large, fiue bouse tbat stood there. Iu this honse lived aome Ywy rioh people, frienda of the doctor's, who very readily agreed to his re¬ quest that tbey would take care of thechild unlil hia mother got better. Kmma, the aix¬ teon year old daughter of the house, under took tbe charge of him, and the kind-hearted doctor came every day to eee him. Aftera goud mauy days, aa Paul waa asking again and agaiu for his mother, the doctor promised that he should go to her very soon, if he wonld promise liim to hold quite stiil while he ex¬ amined bis eyvs, for lbey wera very slok too an.l must bo oared.
The boy promised, and kppt bis word from love to bis molber. The dooior took a sbarp inslroment, and retuoved with it the thick skiu that had .hindered bim from looking np¬ on ilod's beautiful earth aud the brigbt sky* aud restored to him tbe use of hia eyes. Not a eingle ory of pain bad escaped from Panl a lips as the sbaip instrument cnt into his eye and only twice had he whispered softly, "O mamma!" The opera'ion bad sncceeded,
TbH next day the Doctor permitted Kmma, as a reward for iter oare of lhe little boy, to removo for a few momenta, tbe bandage he had tied over his oyes. LitUe Paul trem¬ bled throngh his whole frame ttu tbe first ray of Iilght atreamsd intn his opeuedeyes,aud tben exclaimed : "Now I'm in heaven,aud tho night is all passed 1" And os he aaw the bright body of the ean—thongh jnst then it was al¬ moat covered with silvery clouds—he cried out: "Thereia God'd eye 1" He looked aronnd him, and al the blooming Emma who stood bo- side bim, and asked her if afae was "God's an¬ gel I But now the eyes had lo be bandaged up again—so said the doctor.
The mother's illneas waa conquered by tbe skill and unweared care of the worthy dooior; bnt the weakened woman reoovered very slowly, and it was many weeks before ebe oonld leave ber bed. Tho separation froai her ohild gave ber so much uneasiness, that she oonld not get well as aoou as she otherwise wouhi, until tbe dootor disoovared whatit was tbat troubled ber; and gar* hax Us word thftt
the boy waa safe and well, and wAl taken care of, and she shoold see him just asaoon as Bhe was suffioiently better to bear U. Bat it aeemed a great, great wbile to tbe longing mothei.
It waa a beantlful spring momlng, and tbe moLber, for the first time, had left ber bed, and was walking feebly aorosa theroom, when Emma led theboy, dressed in a neat new suit of olotbej, aorosa thestreet to thehonse in which bia mother Uved. She went up the ateep, high ateps witb bim, opened the door very sjftly, and pushed him gently iuto the room. The motber atood near the window and prayed ; ahe bad not heard thedoor open, and little Paul stood timidly near it; every¬ thing waa atrange to him; be did not even know hia mother. Bat Mnnter aprang tow¬ arda him, and barked so loudly witb delight, that the mother tumed round.
"My Paul 1" abe oried, aa soon as she saw herchild; and Paul, wfao knew her now by her voioe, was in ber erms and on her bosom in a moment. Tbe motber bagged and kisaed him, and lookiog affectionately into bia face, started baok in astonishment, exclaiming :— " Great God I he sees I"
" Yea, I'm in heaven now," anawered X*aul, laugbing with great delight. " I have .seen God's eye, and one of bis holy angels, and uow the night is all past."
Overcome with happiness and gratitude, the poor woman sank upon her knees and Ufted up her folded hands ; and Paul folded hia Uttle handa, too, and raised them to hea¬ ven, as bia motber had taught him long be¬ fore lodo; and a word leaa prayer wentnp from the hearta of both to the throne of the Highest. Tbpu came into the mother'a mind the remembrance of thoae parting words of her dyiug baaband :—" Trnat in Ood I God never forsakes his people 1"
Toars flow from hereyes, and thus relieved her heart., tbat was almost crashed with tbe weight of the merciea lhat had beeu poured out to her ; and when Ultle Paul saw her weeping, Le, too, shed tbe first tears tbat bad ever fallen from bia eyea ; but tbey were tears ofjoy.
Blessed Paul 1 may all tbe tears thoa sbed- deat upou earth, be suoh as those I—N. Y. Methodist.
