HOW HARRY FELL IN Love,

ALI the girls in Flowervale were in love
with Harry Vernon; that is to say, they ad-
mired him excessively, and were ready to fall
in love, if he should lead the way. Fanny
Somers, the little witch, was the only ezcep-
ton. Merry, dancing, and pretty as fairy,
it was a question whether she had ever yet
thought Of love if she had, she never talked
of it.
Harry's father was a Senator in Congress,
and he himself was a young lawyer Of bril-
liant talents, finished education and handsome
fortune. 1t was known that his father wish
ed him to marry, and did not, as is often the
case, insist on his selecting an heiress. The
now gray-haired statesman had made love
match in his youth, and still worsbiped the
memory of his wife he had too eally lost.
Let your heart choose, my son" he said.
Marriage. without true affection, holds out
but a poor show for happiness
Most Of those, not directly interested in the
event, thought that Isabel Fortescue would
carry of the prize. She was decidedly the
belle of the village. Having received her
education at a fashionable seminary, there
was scarcely an accomplishment Of which she
could not boast Besides, the families of
Vernon and Fortescue had been the leading
ones in the county for two generations; and
gossips said that the union of the two for
tunes and of the united influence, would give
Harry position almost unrivaled.
Certain it is, that Harry visited Isabel very
often. Those who envied her accused her Of
manouvering to win him. Throws herself
in his way continually" said one. "Did ever
any body" cried another, "see a girl make
love so barefacedly ?" "She ought to get
him, I'm sure, sueered another, for she has
tried hard enough" Nevertheless, as honest
chrOniclers, we must record the fact, that
some of these very young ladies' such is the
infruity Of human nature, did their very
prettiest to out-manouvre Isabel and get
Harry for themselves
Harry had not seen Fanny since she was a
child It was only a month SINCE she had
left school and returned home again; and the
first time she joined in the village sOcia! circle
was at a picnic. Here her blooming complex
ion, graceful figure and ringing laugh had been
the theme Of admiration by the beaux, the

lie first visited Isabel. She was reclining
in feauteuil, oharmiugly dressed, and read
ing a novel. All she could talk about was
her fatigue. Yet, she looked bewitchingly,
it was incontestible, in the subdued light Ol
that sumptuous parl0r, with elegant pictures
on the walls, boquets of flowers all about,
and an atmosphere Of exquisite refinement all
around. Never had Harry felt so much temp
ted to be in love. He staid nearly an hour,
when he had intended to stop only for few
minutes; and would not, perhaps, have gone

Mulligan on His Last Field of Battle.

MULL1GAN fell while rallying his men.
When we fell back from our position be-
hind and running parallel with the stone
wall, he was sitting erect in his saddle,
and with hat off was inspiring to deeds
Of valor those brave troops who loved
him SO dearly, and who recognized in
him the attributes which constitute the
heEsio soldier. A Mimic bullet passed
itiirougi his thigh, and he fell from his
horse. His staff gathered around him,
and assisted by the bravest men of his
command, endeavored TO bring him of
the field. 1t was almost certain death to
every man who approached him, and yet
the gallant men of the Irish Brigade,
with their colors planted close to his
body, rallied around him, determined, if
possible, to bring him of the field, The
enemy perceiving their intention, con-
eentrated their whole fire on them for a
moment, and every second a dozen men
would drop dead around him. Lieuten-
ant Nugent, Mulligan's brother-in-law,
and an officer on his staff, was wounded
in the leg, and at the same moment his
horse was killed. Turning to the color
sergeant of the 32d Illinois, he desired
him to assist in carrying the Colonel off
the field. Linping along he had not
proceeded many steps before he seceived
a second wound and fell, exclaiming,
"Colonel, I am shot" Mulligan then
addressed the men around him, and told
them to save the flag. "Boys, don't lose
the colors of the Irish Brigade" This
was the last remark he made, after tell
ing the men around him to save them
selves, as it was useless trying to save
him.-N T. Tribune.

Advertising for q Wife.

A GOOD story is circulating among the
wags and joke-loYers Of the town, at the
expense of chap who recently adyertis-
ed for a wife. AS We learn the yarn, it
runs about as follows:
The ambitious matrimonial chap recei-
ved an sxquisitely worded 5i7lsi dsur, in
feminine hand of the purest copper
plate stamp, on delicate paper, redelent
with the aroma Of lady's boudOir, which
requested a meeting on Michigan avenue
at half past eight o'clock on Saturday
evening. The delighted recipient was
prompt to the hour, and met lady elo-
sely yelled, who took his arm and con-
Quoted him in silence to one of the hand
soonest mansions on the avenue. They
entered the gate, and then with thrill
ing "sh-h-hl'' the lady led him by the
hand in at the basement door, through a
long passage, into an apartment shrOud-
ed in darkness. A chair was placed be.
hind him and he sat down. Immediate
ly after he felt a pair Of hands at his feet,
and his boots were dexterOusly withdrawn;
his coat was next slyly whipped off; then
his cra7at vas united and removed from
his neck. The young mans feelings"
during this operation may be imagined,
but there was astronger sensation before
him. Suddenly the gaslight flashed up,
and as soon as the chap could acoustom
his eyes to the glare, he discovered him
self in a kitchen, surrounded by a bevy
of servent men and maids, who made the
room resound with laughter. To add to
his horror, the door opened, and the lady
of the house entered, clad in beauty and
silks. The young man exhibited signs
of fainting, but by the assistance Of the
coachman was safely removed to the out
side of the house, where he resumed his
boots and other raiment, and departed
with a whole regiment of feas buzzing
away in his ears. Future applicants for
meeting" with that young man will be
treated with "silent contempt Chicago

ted long enough to be certain Of the state Of
her own heart, when she made Harry happy
by accepting him.
Two persons more fitted for eaeh other, in
fact could not be. Though always merry, be-
cause always happy, Fanny was amiable, in
tellgent, and full Of sound sense. She had
read and thought great deal, especially for
one so young her heart ran overwith unwrit-
ten poetry. Had Harry sought for lifetime,
he could not have found a wife 81. eompap-
ionable and SO suited in every way sa..
What a talk the engagement mad when it
came outl The naughty Isabel, who, with
out being half as capable of sincere love as
Fanny, had made up her mind to have Harry,
and whose vanity, therefore, was piqued, even
degraded herself so much as to call the bride
elect an artful and interesting puss, Other
disappointed beauties had other hard names
for Fanny But though, when our heroine
first heard of these ISLANDERS she shed few
tears, she soon dried her eyes for, with Har-
rvs love, nothing could make her long IN
happy.
1t was not till the young couple had set off
on their wedding-tour, that Harry told his
wife what had first made him fall in love with
her.
"Eyery other girl I visited that morning, "
he said, "was playing the fine lady and that,
while, as well knew, their mothers were
slaving in the kitchen. Ireasoned that the
daughter who would neglect her duty to
parent, could scarcely be expected TO be less
selfish toward a husband Besides, it is a
common error with your sex, nowadays, to
suppose that it is debasing to engage in do
mestic dnties To man Of sense, dearest a
woman never looks more attractive than at
such time. As Wordsworth writes:
"Her household motions light and free
And steps Of virgin liberty.
a cOunteuance in which there meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
a creature not too bright nor good
For hnman natures daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles"
As he recited these lines with exquisite
sensibility, he put his arm around Fanny
waist and drew her towards him; and the
young wife looking up into his ace with de-
voted affection, rested her head on his bosom
and shed happy tears.
And so we leave them.

"Give us a song" the soldiers cried,

The writer is the youngest daughter Of
Hon. Alexander R. Boteler, of Jefferson
county, Va, detailing to her sister the
burning Of their home by order Of Gen
eral Hunter, and also the residence Of
Edmund J. Lee, whose place adjoins Mr.
Boteler's. Fountain Rock, alluded to
below, belonged to Mrs. Boteler Mr.
A. r. Boteler was member of the House
of Representatives in 1860-61. Captain
Martindale was Informed by one Of Mr.
BoteIer's daughters that the property was
not her fathers, bu: that of her mother,
having been conveyed to her many years
since. She afterward sent word to Gen
eral Hunter that all he destroyed belong
ed to Mrs Boteler, who was absent from
home at the time. No one was there ex-
cept Mr.. Boteler's two daughters and
three little grandchildren. We envy not
the man or men who can enjo such deeds
or commit such wrongs:
