PART II.
GUDBRAND AND HIS WIFE,


There was once man called Gudbrand,
who lived in lonely little farm house on
remote hillside. From this circum-
stance he got the name among his neigh
bors of Gudbrand of the Hill.
Now, you must know that Gudbrand
had an excellent wife, as sometimes hap
pens to man. But the rarest thing
about it was, that Gudbrand knew the
value of such treasure and SO the two
lived in perfect harmony, enjoying their
own happiness, and giving themselves no
concern about either wealth or the lapse
of years. No matter what Gudbrand
might do, his wife had foreseen and de-
sired that very thing; so that her good
man could not touch or change or move
anything about the house without her
coming forward to thank him for having
OWNED and forestalled her wishes.
Besides, it was easy for them to get
along, since the farm belonged TO them,
and they had hundred solid crowns in
drawer of their closet, and two excel
lent cows in their stable. They lacked
nothing, and could quietly pass their old
age without fear of poverty or toll, and
without having to look to the friendship
or the commiseration of any of their
fellow creatures.
One evening, while they were talking
over their various little tasks and projects
says the wife of Gudbraud to her hus.

TREATMENT oP ENEMIES,

There are many who will endure any
hardships, make any exertion, bear any sa-
crifce, for their friends, for whom they
can never do enough; but toward their
enemies, they are unkind, implacable, and
resentful. The man who has injured them
they can never forgive; for him they have
no kindness, but hold him in contempt
aversion and neglect. But Christianity re-
quires higher and more disinterested vir
tue than this, for it commands US to b.
kind to our enemies.

IbcendiaYies In Pocahontas.

On the Goth of January, between two and
three o'clock in the morning, the stables OF Mr.
NJ. B. Gillian, of Mill Point, Pocahontas county,
were consumed Five very valuable horses. a
considerable quantity of rye, oats, and corn-all
he had-carriage, tuggy, harness, farming uten.
sis, and other articles were burnt. His loss is
supposed to be about $780, There is no doubt
but that it was the work of an incendary. The
sufferer being an active Southern man, who, dur.
ing the time Gen. Loring's command was opera
ting in that section, acted as Assistant Quarter
aster to Major Corley, i: is supposed that some
vile Union Traitor has sought revenge by apply
ing the torch to his property. We hope the cit
zeDs of that section will exercise sufficient vigil
lance to detect sone of these vile rascals and
succeed in having justice lneted to them.

Another Alarm In Greenbrier.

During the pat week a company of 250 of the
enemy's cavalry were found to be advancing TO-
wards Lewisburg. They expected $50 they sad)
to form junction at Meadow Bluff with 900
infantry, who would reach that place by way of
the Wilderness road from Nicholas @. q. As We
had but small force at Lewisburg, not sufficient
to meet such q force of the enemy as seemed to
be advancing upon shat place, there was a great
deal of alarm there, and many were preparing
to leave. Col. Alex. W. Reynolds with the 22d
Regiment, about 800 strorg, and the Gceenbrier
Cavalry, and several hundred citizens who took
up arms for that special occasion, marched from
Lewisburg to give them ba tile. AS the rise in
the waters prevented the infantry of the enemy
from getting over to Meadow Bloff, the Yankee
Cavalry considered discretion the better part of
valor," and retired before Col. Reynolds had an
of paying his respects to them
They were pursued for some distance by the
Greenbrier Cavalry under command of Capt. B.
F. Eakle, but they had 80 much the start and
made such good use of it that Capt. Eakle could
find nothing more than their tracks which they
made in hurry.

North and Soufh.

1t is somewhat remarkable that, whilst the
North try to conceal all their defeats by denying
them, and even go so far as to claim them
as victories, the South, on the other hand,
when defeated, frankly aud honestly acknowl-
edge the fact. In this connection, the Rich>
monG Dispatch asks: why is it that this
uciform system of deception is exhibited by the
North. whilst the South admits the truth boldly,
however disagreeable it may be? 1t results
simply from radical difference in the character
of the two people. The one is sly, secretive, and
mas little veneration for truth; the other open

of falsehood than the pain of Disaster

pale face. His eyes were deep and had tinge

sublime, like the ocean at rest. While in CAMP
after day of heavy picket duty, he fell asleep
in his post at night for which he was reported to
the Colonel, who, to impress him, and make an
example for the benefit Of the regiment, called
him in solemn pomp to trial. He was found
guilty, and the sentence of the court was to be
shot, The Colonel, however, in view of his

case, commuted his sentence, and consented that
in lieu Of being shot, he might be sent home to

100000 infantry, 1000 cavalry, 5000 artiller-

about $4,000 have been pronounced fit for the
