same place, which acquaintance rpensd
into attachment aud love, aud just before
the breaking out Of the rebellion thay
were married and moved to the South.
Miss G. was an orphan, possessed
OF considerable property which was
held in trust for her by an uncle,a South.
ern minister. who had raised her from in.
fancy and personally superin,sndsd her
educa'ion. In addition TO the sndow.
msnts OF collegiate education, she was
possessed Of strong character, border
ing almost toward the masculine. but
tempered with sweetness and mildness
not often combined in the same person.
She was at once handsome and woman.

Within year after their marriage and

shrill blasts Of war from Sumter's para.

His wife opposed bis mad scheme with

POPULARITY OF GEN. Lsg.-A Wash
ingtou correspondent Of one Of the Nor
thern papers. says: "Wheh General Leo
was n this city short time ago, he sat
for his picture at Bradys gallery. The
fact became known, Of course, aud ever
since Mr.. Brady has been overrun With
orders for copies Of the picture, 1t would
seem that almost every family in Wash
ington. and many in Baltimore, wish TO
nave hanging in their parlors a represent
tstion Of .he form and features OF the
great Confederate chisftsin, to Judge from
the rush there ha. bsen for copies Of the
portrait The latter, Of course, is all that
could be desired in the way OF artistic
excellence. Sraws show the direction Of
the wind, and it is very evident that IL
the time ever comes when the American
people will be allowed to manifest the
real feelings Of their hearts, they will con.
fer upon General lee such a testimonial
OF their affection as will pu: to the blush
the disgusting toadyism that is lavished
upon General Grant"

REPLY TO AN APRIL FOOL,
BY II. II.

May love attend that fair sweet rose,
TIM time shall end where eer she goes'
Who writes to me her Aprils-Ol
That may SEQ and lady know
She first writes Of her premises,
In easy soft apologies.
And writing on she compliments
Ny pretty face and excellence:
Then next proceeds to ascertain,
(Should worthy deeds affection gain,)
Whether or not Can extend
My hand or lot to such friend.
Kind and sweetly che urges now,
Can not marry the Author VOW
Should extend my hand, she say,,
With me she'll spend her happiest days
IL otherwise, Ghe can but wait
In doleiyi sghs, unhappy fate.
I'm not 80 sure she'll yield TO fate,
She csn't endure her lonesome state.
Do show me to thy dwelling place,
And will go to thee in haste;
And when l find thee kind and clever,
Maybe in time I'll be yolr lover.
For if knew who writes to me
in words, though few, so frank and free:
Our loses find recprocate,
III quickly climb DER hymen's gate.
But since you live to me unkuo~n
Young Lady give thy name or home,
Jest April como to us again
And ihd us dumb in Marriage game.
Hymen's treasures now en US fall
Crown our pleasures, hope, joys and al,
And Cupid first to bend his Bow,
VIII mako Of us a splendid show
Offers his eye to sympathise
With her whom may recognise
Holds out his arm 20 write her praise,
Who can ME charm with love always,
And gives his heart to feel and know
The dreadful state of lonesome woe;
Or wraps me o'~ in solid steel,
To never more affec,ions feel
o! then, dear friend, IL thou art true
And shall find beauty in you, -,
Fearless to cham aud love to beget,
I'll lay one arm around. thy neck,
Silks and iiban nd, and pretty face;
Tie oth'r haad will span thy waist
Loving in manner aud perfect ia arts,
With Loves hamner we'll weld sweethearts
Husband and.wifc ws'll live, l trust,
A blessed life among the just
Good bye Goodbye! do you know!
And viii try to MARRY TOO!

picture to himself the agony Of this sad
wife. A stranger, destitute Of money,
carrying in her arms weakly child, not
vet recovered from severe illness, and
she herself worn out with fatigue and
anxiety, when she learned that her hus.
band was dead.
There was no doubt Of his death; the
registry kept at Camp Douglas showed it,
and the grave was pointed out to her,
which bore the inscription on a pine
board
"MAJOR CHARLES GERoUX"

Broken'hearted and bowed down with
grief, she r'endsd her way on foot to the
great City Of Chicago, not knowing why
she went. A stranger among strangers,
with no one to aid or pity her, an d non e
TO comfort her save the good God, whom
she, in her inmost heart bel.eyed, had
forsaken her.
She was taken In and cared for bv the
Sisters Of Charity, until she could hear
from friends in Ohio, from whom she rs
ceived no intelligence for the past four
years. A letter was received, that i'm.
mediately after the war her uncle had
died, and that soon after his widow had
removed TO lroquois County, Illinois, 10

was supplied with money to enable her
to lind her friends in Troquois County,
where she has since resided.

and while they were discussing the stolen

A momentary pause and husband and
wife were in each others arms. Weshall
