all, still cherished strong affection for his
treacherous cousin, he allowed her to warn
him hoping that it would induce him to flee
the country. delaying for that purpose his
appearance until the very last moment.
There was another bridal day appointed,
at which there were happy and smiling faces;
the Lady Blanche, the beautiful Rose of
Glen Valley. gave her hand to Walter, Earl
Of Egberton. at the altar of the ivy-clad
church of Stroke Cantref.
Both the earl and countess tried TO induce
Cleopatra, the gypsy queen. to settle down
in the neat pleasant cottage the earl had
given her. But they could not prevail upon
her to give up her rowing life to which she
was SO strongly attached. She made it q
rule. however. to visit Egbertou Hall once a
year, and the earl gave strict iniunctions to
all of his tenants that neither she nor her
followers should ever be molested.
Many years have elapsed since the events
here recorded /; but in remembrance of the
services rendered by the gypsy queen, any
member of that wandering tribe who visits
he neighborhood has always hospitablt

To bring the Southern Confederacy back
to its allegiance something more is necessary
than the ''taking and holding the forts and

Their ''let alone" policy may not cover SO

WHAT BECOMES OF THE SILVER

Europe and America have been drained
of silver to supply the demand of the Brit
ish East India Company. who, since 1880,
have required their revenues to be paid in
silver. liz this country the intrinsic worth
of silver has been reduced. about seven per
cent, in order to keep it here. The drain
from Europe still continues. The gold
that is brought into England is sent to the
continent, exchanged for silver, which
finds it's way to India and there disappears.
During the last twenty-fv years the ship.
ments Of silver to India have reached the
enormous sum of $3.50, 200, 900, of which
$92. 100000 have been re-exported, leav-
ing $45O, OOO, 900 unaeeounted for. And
these shipments have lately been on the in
crease. For the first five years of the term
named, the shipments were $4,000, 900,
showing an average of only SO, 600, 900 per
annum, while for the last five, the ship
ments have been 100000, or $43,-
900, 900 annually, and the current is not
yet checked. The movements of specie in
all other lands can be distinctly traced, but
here the keenest sagacity is at fault. -
With the shipments to India there has
ever been an insoluble mystery. It is like
a stream emptying into bottomiess gulf,
with returnless flow. Some have conjec-
tured that the silver thus sent to India is
used up for ornaments; but this would &C
count for only a small portion of the inl-
mense total. We should not be surprised
if the secret OF this flow of treasure in one
direction was found altogether in the meth
DDS taken for its preservation in that dis
tracted country, by burying it in the ground.

FLORIDA

The New York Post, in speaking of Mr..
Gurley's proposition to colonize the negroes
in Florida, says:
"Florida is better calculated for the sue
cessful settlement of white lsboring men
than perhaps any other Southern State. All
the circumstances are favorable. The eli
mate of her fertile uplands is SO healthy
that planters prefer it to that Of the North
ern States in summer. The soil of these
uplands is such that the finest sea- island
cotton is grown there; and the fresh sea-
breezes which sweep across the peninsula
and cool the air in summer, make it easy
for white men to till the cotton fields.
Florida had, in 1860, a population OF
40, 439, of which 78. $3.50 were whites, and
81, 758 slaves. Of the whites large pro-
portion, we have reason to believe, were
and are loyal to the Union. The slaves
have greatly diminished in numbers since
the opening of the war. FIoridians now at
the North, estimating from facts within
their knowledge, say that perhaps sixth
of the slaves have fled to the West Indies.
The difficulties in the way of making Flor
ida free State are therefore slight; and the
advantages Of doing so are evident at a
glance. With Florida and Texas free, we
have the slave system of the Southern
States surrounded with line of freedom,
through which 1t cannot penetrate, and
within which it must speedily perish. We
have the example and success of free labor
shown in the very fields which the slave
has titled, and held out wherever the mas
ter may turn his eyes. And We rescue two
States from slavery. which, by reason oi
the sparseness of their population, are not
yet fully tainted with it. Neither Florida
nor Texas are thoroughly slave States;
there is a free-labor element in each-in
Texas in the Germans, and in Florida in
the timber-cutters. And neither of these
States entered heartily into the Rebellion;
on the contrary. both were dragged into il
by few corrupt and ambitious dema-
gogues." 3.

PICKETING.

While on my lonely beat. about an hour
ago, light tread attracted my attention,
and on looking up, beheld one of Secesh's
pickets standing before me. ...- ..a-
Stranger" said he, ''you remind me of
my grandmother, who died before l was
born, but this unnatural war has made us
enemies, and must shoot you. Give me
a chaw terbacker." ia
He was young man, my boy. in the
prime of life. and descended from the First
Families CT Virginia. That is to say his
mother was virgin. At least that is what

ginia.
looked at him, and says L
"Let's compromise, my brother
"Never!" says he, "the South is fighting
for her liberty, her fresides, and the pur-
suit of happiness, and l desire most re-
spectfully to welcome you with bloody
hands to a hospitable grave"
''Stand off ten PAGES" says l, land let's
see whose name will come before the coro-
ner Grst.'' 10
He took his place, and we fired simulta-
neously. I heard ball go whistliDg BY
barn about quarter of mile to my right;
and when the smoke cleared away I saw
the Secesh picket approach me with an aw-
full expression of woe on his otherwise dirty
countenance.
"Soldier," says he, fwas there anything
in my head before you fred 90
Nothing" says I, "save few harmless
insects"

heard something rattle in st."
"What is that ?'' exclaimed.
"That, said he, sis your bullet, which
has penetrated my skull, and is rolling
round in my brain. die happy, aud with
an empty stomach; but there is one thing
I should like to see before perish for
my country. Have you quarter about

Too much affected 10 speak, drew the
coin from my pocket and handed it to him.
The dying man clutched at it couvulsive-
u, and stared at it feverishly.
'This," said he, els the first quarter /

l wounded you, should have been totally
unable to have given you any quarter. Alb.
how beautiful it is how bright, how ex-
quisite, and good for four drinks But I
have not time to say al feel.' .4ea
The expiring soldier then laid down his
gun, hung his cap and overooat on branch
of tree, and blew his nose. Then he died.
And there stood, my boy, on that
lonely beat, looking down upon that fallen
type of manhood and thinking how singu-
lar it was that he forgot TO give me back my
quarter. The sight and the thought so af-
fected me that / was Obliged to turn nv
back on the corpse and walk little way
from it. When returned TO the spot, the
body was gone! Had it gone to Heaven ?
Perhaps. so, my boy-perhaps SO; but !

Murder! Help Oh, helpi''
How sharp and fearfully distinct that cry
rang out on the midnight airi But there
were none to hear it, except the two ruffians,
who, pressing still closer to their victim,
bore him heavily to the ground.
"He is dead 10 said the oldest one, plac-
ing his hand upon the heart of the wounded
man, who lay upon the ground without
sense or motion.
"We had better make sure of it," said
the other, significantly pointing to the river
at short distance. Ha
His companion understood him, and
without word on either side they lifted up
the body and carried it to the river. There
was a heavy splash, something that sound
ed like stif1ed groan, and the broad waves
rippled quietly over 1.-THE moon looked
down as calmly and placidly as if crime and
murder were thing unknown. The two
men then mounted their horses and rode
swiftly away.
"This is good nights job" said the
shorter and younger of the two.
81 should judge so,'' returned the other,
dryly, ''as it gives you one of the richest
earldoms in England"
cay, and By my knightly faith, you
shall find that the Earl of Egberton is not
ungrateful," said the other. "The thousand
pounds shall be yours tomorrow, and if
there is anything else 1 can do for you. you
may consider me to the full extent of my
power"
"There will be merry bridal to-mor-
row." said his companion.
r"Very!" replied the younger one, with a
light, hooking laugh. 'Lady Blanche will
wait long at the altar for our lover; and as
for my good cousin Walter, who has been
my rival in love and ambition, I'll warrant
he'll sleep as sound tonight as he would
were he pillowed in her arms! But we
must separate here" he added, as they
emerged from the forest into the open coun-
try. "We must not be seen together
Adieui We shall meet tomorrow at the
bridal"
And so saying, he turned the head of his
horse into one Of the two roads that were
before them, and his companion taking the
other, they parted
