from New York ". met her at pic. nic
and as she was the first lady he had ever met
that could make him feel at case in her socic

bashtulness, under the slillful tutolage of the
govorncss, wore rapidly away aud ore long he
consented to become her bridegroom The
bridal party stopped at Cincinnati hotel
and after many n weary hour tho most mo
mcntous moment in a man whole life arrived
for Vcrlant. On two chairs were piled pyr.

Thank you, Miss Taylor, will try to do
the latter-the consequences 1 must leave to
God My country needs the services of all
her sons, and should be recreant to mans

need"
''True, but it is hard to see the flower and
hope of our land rushing to death, or what is
worse manned and tortured life hereafter"
81 is unavoidable; and this fear will be
a long and bloody war. Few will escape the
seventies to which a soldiers life is incident,
and those who SO escape by staying at home,
do not envy"
| "God grant it be not, long and bloody; but
if it should, none I trust in my native city
will be found, who prefer idleness and ease,
to hardship and danger in such a cause"
How could she imagine that even then
secret emissaries were at work to tear from
her bosom the best treasures of her native
State, her intellect and youth, with which to
hour came in which the dross was separated
from the ore; and men came out and spoke
convictions, which until then, they almost
dreaded to acknowledge to themselves.
Many it is true were deluded by specious
arguments into the Federal Army; but the
pride and glory of the State was true to their
own honor, and the integrity Of their native
land.

city is hopelessly divided on the question of
Southern rights. Many will go with the
North; but quite as many are true to them
selves and their State.
"None in whose veins blood of mine
warns and circulates, will ever forsake their
country in her peril"
" True-and have not yet despaired of
persuading Dick to take the initiative earlier
than he designed and go with me. 1t will not
be difficult for him to procure position
worthy of his talents"
"Nc, no, oh, do not do it-not yet! Let
him stay a little while lonser-just little
while, and then he may go."
Anxiety, fear and entreaty were in her voice.
The face SO lately radiant with feeling turned
pale, and the muscles of her mouth twitched
and quivered with agony. But her visitor
hastened to say
"You must pardon me, Miss Taylor, but |
f'om what you said 1 inferred that you did |
not object to your cousin commencing his
career at once. 1 certainly so understood |
you-rray excuse me, if my words have dis
