VOLUNTEERS FOR THE WAR.

Since il has become known to our twelve
months volunteers that President JEFF. Davis
has declined 10 receive more than six regiments
of twelve months volunteers. we are glad TO
see that there is q comnendable disposition
On the part OF our troops TO enlist for The war.
BY this means our ten regiments of State
troops are being rapidly filled. and we doubt
not that We shall som be able to announce
that the whole ten regiments are full and
complete. II was unfortunate that the call
at first had not been alone for volunteers for
The war. While there Is strung probabili-
~ that the war will not last more that twelve
months. yet il may be prolonged for two or
three years. and in that case our regular army
at the end Of one year would be as efficient as
any regulars in the world. and would be in.
vincible IN the face Of any force that the
North could bring against il. Register

Cobwebs," said Nellie, she taking the
words GU Of his mouth, her whole face spark
ling with glee; aud she drew off aud gave
another sweeping courtesy.
Before she had recovered herself, howey.
er, pair OF strong arms were around her,
Tor Clarence OWNED now that he was loved.
Nellie, all along, had had halt secret fear,
that when her sutton knew the past. he might
not be so willing to marry the barefooied
fglrl as the brilliant belle, but all this was now
gone.
Two mon,hs later there was gay cd.
ding at ST. Marks. A month after that, a
bridal pair, returning from the wedding tour
drove up 10 handsome house in Philadel-
phia. As Clarence led Nellie through the
rooms. in which his perfect taste was seen
everywhere, she gave way to exclamation
alter exclamation Of delight.
At last they reached tiny boudoir, ex-
quisitely carpeted and curtained. jet Of
gas, burning in an alabaster vase, diffused q
soft light through the room. A solitary pic
ture hung on the walls. II was the original
sketch OF her, eight years before, now very
elegantly framed. The tears gushed to Nell
lies eyes, and she threw herself into her
husbands arms.
"Ah how love you !" she cried.
Nobody who sees that picture suspects its
origin. Ii is too sacred subject for either
Nellie or Clarence to allude to. But it was
only the other day that celebrated leader
OF fashion said TO friend:
:" What queer pet name Mr.. Harvard has
for his beautiful bride In anybody else ex-
cep, genius it would be eccentric. But
you do not know how pretty it sounds from
his lips"
