CHAPTER TX.
THE LOVERS INTERVIEW.

The young man, whose opportune appearance
the cough of Mrs. Gregson from betray
ing her hiding place, was neatly but coarsey attir
ed He was in height somewhat above the mid
die sze but not so much so as to attract attention
Besides, he was so symmetricaly built, that no one
looking at him for the first time would be likely to
think him at all out of proportion. His bearing
was erect and manly, and his easy and graceful
walk at once indicated the soldier. His face, to
come to that which first strikes the attention, was
highly prepossessing. He had not indeed, that
feminine style of beauty which is required to make
duck Of man, in the language Of some ladies,
but his countenance was open, his eye was clear
hazel and met yours with an honest frankness
which won favor at once. To sum up, he was a
brave and good looking young fellow, such as you,
my dear reader, provided you are young lady,
would find very dangerous to your peace Of mind.
I declare I've half mind to fall in love with him
myself, only know that would never do, for my
heroine already possesses claim upon him.
This young man, then, as you all know, was
Captain Henry Peterson, of the Continentinel Ar.
my, and he is waiting for Einor
"Has he got gun?'' inquired Robert Gregson

SOMEBODY'S DARLING.

The following exquisite little poem was writte
by Miss Marie LaCoste, of Savannah Ga, an
originally published, we think, by the Southern
Churchnaan. 1t will commend itself by its touch
ing pathos to all readers:
In to ward of the white-washed walls,
Where the dead and the dying lay
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls
Somebody's darling was borne one day,
Somebody's darling! Soyoung and SO brave,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave
The lingering lightof his boyhood's grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of gold
Kissing the snow Of the fair young brow,
Pale are the lips of delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from the beautiful, blue veined face
Brush every wandering silken thread,
Cross his hands as sign of grace
Somebody's darling is still and dead
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur prayer soft and low,
One bright curl from the cluster take
They were somebody's pride you know,
Somebody's hands had rested there;
Was it mothers soft and white?
And have the lips of sister fair
Been baptized in those waves of ightf
God knows best. He was somebody's love;
Somebody's heart enshrined him there,
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn, on the wings OF prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, brave, and grand;
Somebody's kiss on his foreheadlay;
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's watching and waiting for him,
Yearning to hold him again to her heart;
There he lies-with the blue eyes dim,
And the smiling child-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausing to drop on his grave tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his head
".Somebody's darling lies buried here'

The young officers answer was powerful strug
gle to rise from his position upon the ground.
Ifhe had had but one antagonist to deal with, 81
powerful were his struggles that he would proba
bly, have succeeded. As it was, he found himsel
unequal to two, who, moreover, had already the ad
vantange over him.
"Will you give up your sword p demanded
Dick.
IF you can take it" was the firm reply.
1t was at length wrested from his hands.
Dick now drew from his pocket strong core
with which he tied the hands of the young man
and then suffered him to rise.
'May know whose prisoner I amp asked Cap
tain Peterson, calmly.
"Ours," said Dick, promptly.
''But at whose instigation? Are you attached
to the British service?''
1T is not for prisoner to ask questions, wa
the reply. However, don't mind telling 'yor

he is a worthy young man. He once did us kind

Dick frowned sternly as his eyes fell upon hi
wife,
'sWhat are you here for, Peg?' he said, sternly
'How long haveyou been in the habit Of fdogginl
your husband? By all the fends if you dare tr.

accents of sorrowful entreaty.
'Go home Instantly" exclaimed Dick, authori
tatively, "or you shall learn what it is to ange

There was no alternative, and full Of anxious
fears Mrs. Gregson started on her homeward walk

CHAPTER VIII.
LYING IN WAIT.

After the departure of Major Amory, Dick
Gregson returned to the cabin with thoughtful
look.
His wife, observing his abstraction, inquired
timidly,
''What was it the stranger wanted Of you,
Dick?"
What should you want to know for?' demand
ed her husband grufay.
because, everything that relates to my husband,
is of interest to me-" said Mrs. Gregson, more
firmly than was her wont.
'sWomen always want to know all that's going
on" said Dick.
II hope, Dick, you give me credit for a better
feeling than simple curiosity"
''Wel, I shan't inquire into your affairs, and it
won't be of much use to meddle with mine
''Ten me, at any rate, that it isn't crime that
he wants YOU to commit. Only tell me that, Dick,
said his wife earnestly
ssWhat should make you think of such thing"'
asked Dick looking up curiously
II don't know, Dick, but there was something
in the mans face that did not like. There was a
bad look about his mouth and was afraid ne hao
some wickedness that he wanted done, and didn't
dare to attempt it himself, and wished to hire you
to do it. I've heard of such men, Dick.
'sWhat do you take Inc for-a baby or fool
Peg Gregson, that you need make this ridiculous
fuss about gentleman visiting US"
1T is just because he is gentleman, or wa
dressed like one, that makes me suspicious ,"
"Well, I'd like to know what there is so mighty
strange in gentleman visiting us. Amt fit fo
gentleman to visit?' demanded Dick, exciting il
himself feeling of virtuous Indignation "D'
YOU mean to insult your own husband, Peg? Iad
wise you to get rid of them suspicious Of yours il
double quick time"
Saying this, Dick threw himself on the bed witt
discontented growl and having seen little or N
rest for twenty-four hours and more, was sool
breathing heavily in deep slumber.
Hiswife sighed heavily and resumed her work
The conversation which she had just had wit
her husband may seem strange, but there had bee
something in the face of Major Amory which pow
erfuly impressed her with a presentiment OF ev
which he was to bring upon them, which she coul
not readily shake off, She knew that Dick was
saint and that he would readilyyied to temptation
Her great fear had been that he would sometlm
undertake an enterprise in which his life would
bazarded. and she shuddered with the thought tina
her husband might lend himself to become hire
assassin And little as such man deserved to 3
owed; she loved him with the devotion OF Wlt'
land felt that she should not long survive his loss
!. During that day her husband, contrary to
, usual practice did not leave the cabin. lie rou

"And what did he say?' asked the young man

| "And what did he sayT' asked the young mar
eagerly.
'Don't seek for compliment Henry, for you
won't get one from that quarter. he said that
Mr. Peterson (he would not give you your title)
possessed none of the qualifications to which he
referred, and none of the qualities which be should
deem absolutely essential in husband for hisward
He went on to say that the one to whom he refer
red was not rebel, but loyal to his sovereign
He was on the point of telling me that it was Ma

rupted, and this is all know of the matter at pres

eyes, but his leave extends till tomorrow, only.
I am glad of it, for without having any especial
reasons for doing so am afraid dislike him more
than have any right to do"
'sI am glad of that, Elinor. The instinct is a
proper one I give you leave to hate himas much
as you please
EGnor laughed
'There, Henry, I've made you jealous. Ihave
great mind to turn coquette, by giving him lit
tie encouragement
The smile with which she accompanied these
words was sufficient disavowal, and Henry replied,
II can trust my Elinor. I have no fear that she
will deceive my confidence"
"Seems to me they'r long time billing and
cooling" muttered Dick. II wish the gal would
go off, and leave us clear field
'She is going Don you see they're prepar-
ing for it. She is a beauty and no mistake,
'That's fact, said Dick.
meanwhile the lovers reluctantly agreed that it
would be hazardous to remain longer together
Elinor would be missed, and if search were made
for her, it might lead to the discovery Of Captain
Peterson.
Accordingly, with many protestations of contin-
ued fidelity, and many hopes expressed Of meeting
again before long, Captain Peterson pressed kiss
upon the cheek of Einor "a liberty, which, un-
der the circumstances she did not resent and she,
turning away, walked rapidly from the ruined
cabin
"Now it's coming" thought Mrs. Gregson with
shudder, crouching lower behind the stone wall.

The President Vetoed.

Congress quite recently passed Reg

of securing fair vote under the Recon

ago, and W hich is, very generally, being

in order that door might be left open
through which his peculiar friends, the
ex-rebels of the South, could crawl into
power, in spite of law vetoed this bill
Congress, on the principle that one good
turn deserved another, aud believing that
the peace Of the whole country was Of
more importance than the comfort of
rebels, vetoed the President, by vote, in
the House, of ia yeas to % nays, and,
in the Senate, 40 yeas to nays. This

now from the expectation that it will be
cheaper at some future time. The test Of
ten years and the manufacture and sale of
More than 100000 Watches,
have given our productions the very highest
rank among timekeepers- Commencing with
the determination to make thoroughly excel

creased as the public became acquainted
eth their value, until for months together,
we have been unable to supply the demand.
We have repeatedly enlarged our factory
buildings until they now cover over three
acres of ground. and give accommodation to
more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in stating that we
now make MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES. The different grades
are distinguished by the following trade
marks engraved on the plate:

W ho remained Governor during the whole

AMERICA.

The bill forbidding railway compau les
from making any distinction in the treat
ment Of passengers on account Of color or
race, under penalty of $500, having
passed both Houses of the Legislature
has been approved by the Governor and
is now law. It's immediate effect will
be to abolish the odious distinctions which
have heretofore existed in the street cars
of Philadelphia, where filthy and drunken
whites have been allowed the full enjoy
ment Of privileges from which decent col
ored people were excluded. La New York
and Washington, cities supposed to be far
behind Philadelphia in the development
of liberal and humane ideas, there has
never been any distinction among railway
passengers on account of color.
