What Became of Il Soldier Who Ran Aw~y
With Southern Bride.
An old resident of Nashville relates this
romance to writer in a The Nashville
Americana "In the town of Lincoln, ILL.,,
before the war, there resided young man
named j. j, Searight, who had for some
time engaged in the grocery and pro-
vision business in partnership with Will
lam B. Harlow, under the firm name
of Harlow d. Starlight. IL was one of
the largest and wealthiest firms in that
section and the members thereof we're
both popular leaders in the social and
political circles of their country. When
the war broke out both parties decided on
volunteering in the union army; but as
Harlow was a man of family mutual
compromise was effected and Searght
alone donned the garb of soldier. He
enlisted in a com pany forming at Logan
county for the 23d regiment of Illinois
infantry, and received lieutenancy com
mission Generally esteemed an excellent
officer, he seemed to have brilliant ca
reer OF military service just before him.
At the battle of Belmont Mo, he was
with Gen, Grant, and was noted for con
spicuous gallantry.
when Grant fought the battle Of
Shiloh he again distinguished himself,
and soon after was promoted to a cap
taincy. In this latter engagement he was
quite severely wounded, and by permits
sion went back TO his Illinois home on fur
Tough. Meanwhile his regiment had been
attached to Gen. Buell's army. and was
then on duty either at middle Tennessee
or northern Alabama, and Capt. Searight,
after few weeks at home, came through
Nashville 10 join his command at the
front In an unlucky hour he met a
young lady of rebel procliyties,' but ex-
tremely beautiful, at her home near Nash
vile. She was reputed to be immensely
wealthy, and was in full possession of her
property, having year or two before at
tanned her majority"
Would it be proper to tell the name of
the fair rebei?" inquired the anxious list

mer" the other night at the Hoffman
house. Every New England village has
its odd genius, but this one surpassed all
competition. He was called Uncle Abe
and he was the station-master, baggage
master, telegraph operator, express agent
and general factotum.
Having been born in this place, and
lived in it his four score years and ten,
his knowledge of the people and their
antecedents was uncompromisingl famil
lar. By the introduction of the telegraph
he was in possession of means of en-
larging his private fund of information
which gave him n great advantage. He

would not have ii misused. | happened
to be at the station one dry when lot of
pretty girls visiting the place came to
him and wanted to send n telegram to

''No such blanked nonsence will we be

locking up his Office and telling them to-
be OF.
81 naturally made some inquiries about
the old fellow. On another occasion he
had message to be sent to Sister Mar
garent, member of a religious order in
some Massachusetts city, who was sum
moned TO the town to take care of sick
relative. Uncle Abe eyed the address and
soliloquized as follows:

"but ON the other hand quite improper,
as subsequent events will prove Suffice
it to say, they met and loved. All the
time that the captain could spare from
his duties, and he frequently importuned
his colonel for leave of absence, every
moment he could, he spent in the society
of the charming secesh SIREN as his
brother officers called her, and she as
eagerly returned his burning passion.
Capt. Starlight time and again offered his
resignation. He wished to leave the tent

love, but, unlike his love it was not accept
ed. Love at length however, conouered
all his scrupulous opinions of duty to the
Nag of his country. He grew desperate.
lie deserted, and succeeded in escaping
beyond the federal lines with his fair en-
shaved, she leaving home and friends and
property for his sake and he surrendered
honor and loyalty to the cause he has
sworn to protect. Arriving within the
confederate lines, the seriousness of the
situation began to draw upon the minds
of both of them. If the fortunes of war
should throw him into the hands of the
United States authorities he would GER
tainly be hanged as traitor, and his wife
would probably suffer as a participant in
his crime They determined to leave the
country. From Atlanta they went to
Charleston. From the later city they sue
ceeded in running the blockade to Nassau,
where they took a British vessel bound
for Havana.
But their happiness was short-hved,
and IN the end turned to bitterness. And
now you will see why it was best to sup
press the lady's name for the following
extract, published III The Lincoln, III.
Herald in July 1856, and which | pasted
in my scrap book, gives the sequel to the
sad romance.
"By a letter TO this Office we learn that
Capt. Starlight, whose desertion from the
army and elopment with secesh belle
we published last winter, was killed in n
duel lately by n Spanish officer near
Havana, in Cuba. IL appears that this
woman, for whom he abandoned fame and
fortune, had, in turn, deserted him and
fled with captain in n Spanish army.
Cap. Starlight shortly afterward met the
destroyer of his happiness in a coffee
house and knocked him down. OF course
the proud Spaniard could not brook this
insult; he challenged Starlight, who glad
ly accepted as he was weary of life. They
met on the seaside about two miles from
the city of Havana, and Starlight fell,
pierced TO the heart by his adversary's
bullet. Thus untimely has fallen one who
fought veil and nobly for his country till,
in an evil hour, he met one who seduced
him from the path of honor and duty,
and through her agency the star of his
life has set in blood. The Spaniard and
the fair false one, with a demons heart,
have fled to the Isle of Pines"

A Tale of a Lover.
Buffalo Courier

"Do you see that row of populars on
the Canadian shore, standing apparently
at equal distances apart" asked grave
faced man of a group of passengers on
the Fort Erie ferry-bOat.
The group nodded assent
"Well, there's quite a story connected

young surveyor The old man was in

which should be any further apart than
any other two. The trial proved the low
er's ineficiency, and forthwith he was
forbidden the house and in despair
drowned himself in the river. Perhaps
some of you gentlemen with keen eyes
can tell which two trees are the furthest
apart
The group took a critical vieSy of the
situation, and each member selected
different pair of trees. Finally, after
much discussion, an appeal was taken to
the solemn faced stranger TO solve the
problem.
"The first and last" said he, calmly re-
suming his cigar and walking away with
the air of sage.
