“ Drop me a feather out of the liluo,
Bird flying tip to the sun ;”
Higher anil higher the skylark flew,
But dropped ho never a one.
“ Only a feather I ask of thee
Fresh from the purer air
Upward the lark flew bold and free
To Heaven, and vanished there.
Only the houikl of a rapturous song
Throbbed in tho tremulous light;
Only a voice could linger long
At such a wondrous height.
II Drop me a feather !” but while I cry,
Lo ! like a vision l air,
The bird from the heart of the glowing sip
Sinks through the joyous air.
Downward sinking and singing alone,
But tho song which was glad above
Takes ever a deeper and dearer tone.
For it tremldss with earthly love.
And tho feather I askod from the houndlos

Were a gift of little worth ;
For oil! wliai a hoi nby the lark is given
When he brings all Heaven to earth !

•’Now, who can take from us what we have
known—
We that havo looked into each other’s eyes ?
Though lowering night should blacken all

The day is ours, and what the day has shown.
What w have seen and boon, hath this not

Bart of our very selves ? We, made love

What power shall slay onr steadfast memo

Anil who shall take from us what is our own?'
So when a shado of the lasi parting fell,
This thought gavo peace, as one deep com

Who, thirsting, drinks cool waters from a

But, sudden, I saw that spirit without breath,
iiiat body bodiless, that divisible
Maker of visible woo ; I looked on Death !

We know not where they tarry who havo died
The gate wherein they entered is made fast
No living mortal hath seen one who pa-sod
Hither, from out that darkness deep and

What man can look on Jloath unterrihed ?
Who love can never die f They are a part

Just now X missed ,'rom hall and stair
A joyful tn hie that had grewn
As dear to me as that ‘travo tone
That telis the world my ohior care.
And lit le footsteps on the floor
Were stayed 1 laid aside my peif,
Forgot my theme, and listened—then
Stole softly to the library door.
No sight! no sound! —a moment's freak
Of fauev thrilled mv pulses through :
"if—no” and yet, that fancy drew
A father's blood from heart and cheek.
And thou—l found him ! There lie lay,
Surprised by sleep, caught ui tho act,
The rosy Vandal who had sacked
liis little town, and thought it play :
The shattered vase ; the broken jar :
A match still smouldering on tho floor ;
The inkstand’s purple jhhil of gore ;
The chessmen scattered near and far.
Strewn leaves of albums lightly pressed
This wicked "Baby of the Woods;”
In fact, of half the household goods
This son and heir was seized—possessed.
Tet all in vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet that strayeu;
And fallen in that ambuscade
The victor was himself o’erwrought.
What though torn leaves and tattered book
Still testified his deep disgrace !
I stooped and kissed the inky face,
With its demure and calm outlook.
Then back I stole, aud half-beguiled
JJv guilt, in trust that when my sleep
Should come, there might be One who’d keep
An equal mercy for His child.

CONCLUSION.
Withont opoosition Walden allowed
himself to be led away. A few minutes
later, the two boats floated again on the
waves, which were already ruffled by a
gentle morning breeze. A patrol march
tug up ard down the street observed
them, tnt thought they were the guard
boats of their own people, who were re
connoitring the Lombsrdic chore under
cover of the darkness.
They were abont the middle of the
lake when those in the revenue boat.
No. 5, which was already aheail,
suddenly thought they saw Geronimo’s
boat stop aDd rock violently. It seem
ed as if two upright forms in it were
frying to overpower each other. Then
an Italian corse was heard, and a heavy
fall, and after a little time Gerouirao
rowed Dearer
“What is the matter?” asked the cap
tain.
“Nothing, except that we are rid of
one of onr prisoners,” answered the
smuggler, bi.s voice still trembling from
hatred of his enemy. “He j-rked his
chaio in two, apparently on au oar nail,
and attacked me. I was the stronger.
That is all!”
“And you did not help him out ?”
“So that lie might help me in? I
must protect myself!”
The captain seemed very unpleasantly
affected by this occurrence, and had
ome doubts of Geronimo’s statement.
He would even have turned back in or
der, if possible, to save the unfortunate
man, hint the mist veil on the shore had
become more transparent and a longer
delay in reach of the lutra batteries,
would be a crime against his soldiers.
Therefore, they rowed rapidly to
wards the Lombardic shore; already the
round form of the gray fort rose above
Ihe lildf rt; suddenly there wasaflish
from its pinnacle, a shot rushed through
the morning twilight, and immediately
a howling whisper came ever nearer.
Then it burst deafeningly over the boats
and fell like hail on the water, which
leaped high in hundreds of little Jeas
cades.
The captain perceived the situation in
a moment, and cried angrily:
“Mihalasy has lost his senses from
fright, and is firing on ns with grape
shot. Forward, as quickly ns you can,
before a second salute comes.”
The valiant defender of the fort
against his own people seemed to have
not the slightest donbt that the captain
and ills little company had been murder
ed by the Piedmontese, and the black
boat which, in the morning light and
his anxiety, seeded twice as large as it
really was, must beiopg to them.
Farther firing ceased, but, in spite of
their handkerchief signals, Kornfaes
sd’s men still had a little skirmish with
the wild outposts who had been station
ed along the shore, and who had been
placed m a paroxysm of watchfulness by
tho captain’s zeal, as well pis by Mihala
sy’s fright.
At last, just as the sun was shedding
its first rays over the lake, Walden and
his captain stood on the platform of the
gray fort.
But vainly the latter tried to get a
look at tne breastworks on the other
shore. In the last twelve hours Guido
could not possibly have become half a
hand shorter.
At last he discovered that tiie view
was obstructed by a wall of sand bags
which Mihfllasy had hat] placed there
for the protection of his precious per
sod. It was therefore only owing to ihe
information of one of tiie sentries sta
tioned on the shore ffi.at the boats had
been seen.
Guido Kornfaessel had exhausted Jus
anger, and he only shook his head won
deriugly, ns he quietly asked Mikalasv
if he really would so much prefer being
killed by a sand bag to being shot by a
grenade.
Then turning to Walden, who stood on
one side in deep dejection, bnt perfectly
calm, ho asked him kindly if he did not
wish to carry the news to the Countess.
It was likely that this lady had not
sought her couch since yesterday.
Walden looked surprised.
“Certainly, if you will permit me be
fore my arrest”—
“Arrest?” afked Kornfaessel with
genuine astonishment. “You will not
surely swim back immediately ?”
“I have seriously failed Su pjy duty,
but from no disloyal motive”—continued
Walden quietly. ‘ “And you have a per
fect right to arrest me.”
“I?” again asked Kornfaessel. Then
ho laughed aloud, “Pid yon really
believe in the stratagem. Slow we
will consider the tiuDg settled, or I
must keep you company before the
court martial and Mihalasy will have to
judge both of ns. Do you think that
the General has left me here to contrive
nocturnal expeditions after missing
Lieutenants, and to risk my best, men in
order to invite a Piedmontese revenue
officer to take a trip to this shore?
Therefore, make yourself easy, and take
my most respectful compliments to the
Countess aud her daughter. On your
return be kind enough to lay aside this
sombre citizen’s dress and wrap your
self, by means of your uniform, in the
colors of innocence. Your grenadiers
now look at yen with the same horror
that Wankelbube* looked at me once,
when I cut off my moustache because it
had grown too unmanageable. 4-1 that
time it required ail my firmness to exact
obedience from him, and several times
he came near being arrested. Discipline
only came back with the hair. You need
not hasten yonr return, for we have
enongfa to (Jo to pull down the Chinese
wall whitdi Miiiu-Way has had built for
the protection of iija precious person.
And if the people ‘over ifita.o’ should
have taken onr visit ill, or the welcom
ing fire of our comrades, yon will hear
it in time. But now, be of good cheer,
and trust in the fortunes of war which
have so highly and onr military
achievements,”
Chatting in this way, as if ire Wf&ted
to divert his friend from tho seriousness
of the situation, ho extended his hand
to Walden, who grasped it with emo
tion.
“Above all, I thank yon for recalling
jne lo the duties which I havo so cul
pably neglected-: ”
“Save your thauEZ fqr the little
Countess, of better still, make tho dar
ling very happy when you are her has
bniid. I have never during my whole
term of service seen such a courageous
maiden, aud the mother-'U-law is not
bad either, as our friend Mihalasy would
say.”
The captain seemed entirely an rod of
his prejudices against seductive and in
triguing women. A melancholy earn
estness passed over Walden’s clear fea
tures. They stood at the beginning of
a bloody war, which in all probability
woulu east a shadow over the whole life
of this loving child--for that she loved
him as deeply and tenderly as he loved her
Walden could no longer doubt after all
tliat hi* friend bad told him on his re
turn, aud after imp own words in that
blessed moment when she bad rested on
his heart. And now if all tio sacrifices,
all the devoted courage which she had
shown should be in vaiti, and one of the
first battles should tear him away from
her ! Would it not have been better if
the idyl had never bggun, which must
end so sadly ?
This questioning of fate was written
on his pule brow as he entered the pres
ence of the Countess.
For a moment, Walpurga sat motion
less and numb from overpowering ioy,
while at first, Pepi stood near her, as if
she saw a spirit, aud then elappiDg her
bauds she burst out with these words:
“Ail the saints help me ! there he is
now !”
“Go to Caroline and awake her 1” said
the (Josjjtess, with pals cheeks and trem
bling lip*. “Jlhe has wept the whole
night, and only felt gsleep a few hours
ago, but this reality is sweater than any
dream 1”
The last words were addressed to Wal
deu, for Pepi had left the room.
“Walden, Walden !” continued Wal
pnrga, extending her hand to ihe rescued
man. “How could you have committed
such a folly ? I did*not wish it, indeed
I did not. " The anxiety that I have suf
fered on yonr account was horrible—my
reason coaid not have survived another
such night. What a risk yon have run
iu obedience to my thoughtless words ;
but how could I have suspected such
rashness ?”
“The affair was odlj- made serious by
the sadden declaration of war,” rejoiu
ed Walden. “I had often before in
other places undertaken the adventure
for a harmless joke or wager. The en
trance of the little harbor, which was so
convenient for me, I had known on a
| former visit to this shore. But every
' thing has happened ior the best!”
“For the best!” returned the <soun
| tess almost devoutly. “And the most
\ bitter reproach of my life has been
; spared me.”
Walden shook his head.
“I have not thought of myself, but
that Count Hip poly t has perceived the
cruel wrong he has done you. However,
he is still aoovineei tfcsi fee has injured
you too deeply by his suspicions to
hope for forgivenues*. He is sure that
von must hate him.”
The Countess’ face cleared, and an al
mos.‘ girlish blush brightened hex
is Zrong if he thinks
that,” she said softly. “<* woman doe.
not so easily hate the mail to WBCiff the
first love of her young heart was given.
Besides, he is Caroline’s father. Does
he knew of your love ?”
“In a moment of excitement he seem
ed to approve it.”
“ Then in this life 1 have nothing more
to desire—reconciled with him —and
you, my son J"
She gave him her hand. Henry
knelt anil pressed it to his lips.
“Motherl” whispered he in deep agi
tation.
Bo the two were seen by Caroline,who
had just appeared in the doorway. With
a wild, terrified look, she would have
withdrawn, bnt Henry saw her and has
tened towards her.
She did not seem to notice that he
held out both his hands to her, but
gazed with infinitely painful astonish
ment first at him, and then at her
mother.
“How—so little joy over the return of
yonr betrothed?” smilingly said the
Conntess, who thonght her daughter's
singular behaviour was the bewilder
ment of joy.
Caroline looked at her mother with
her large eyes, full of reproach.
“ My betrothed ? Never, never !”
“ And why ? Do you not love each
other ?” asked the Conntess, looking
anxionsly from one to J.he other, while
Walden stepped back.
Caroline was sileDt, and looked defi
antly on the floor. Her mother went to
her and took one of her hands.
“ I know yon were always an obedient
daughter to yonr father, and I was
wrong when I influenced yon against his
authority; bnt his views have changed,
and tt.e judgment which lie passed upon
Henry his been reversed. To-day he
consents to an alliance, which yesterday
he cursed; therefore, my child, be rea
sonable, and no longer distress yonr
poor cousin, who came near losing his
life for you.”
Gently, but decidedly, Caroline re
leased her hand, and with her teeth
pressing her under lip tightly, she look
ed attentively in her mother’s face. Af
ter a pause, she said abruptly :
“ Leave me, mamma. Ido not love
mv cousin Henry, and will never be his
wife.”
“ And why, if I may ask ?” returned
the Countess, severely. “ Had you any
right to tell me, and perhaps him also,
of a love which you now deny ? An
swer ! Why do yon send Henry away
from you, after you have both risked
your lives for each other ?”
Caroline’s steady glance did not quail
before her mother's angry face.
“Forgive me 1” she then said, “but it
seems to me I would rather die than an
swer you.”
And, covering her face with her hands,
she hurried out of the room.
Silently, Walpurga and Henry stood
facing each other.
“I do not understand it!” said the
former with great indignation. “At this
moment Caroline is to me more incom
prehensible than a stranger.”
“Caroline is probably wiser than your
kindness and my love,” said Walden
gently, but with a bitter smile. “Per
haps she is afraid to bestow her heart
entirely and unreservedly upon a man
whose duty places him daily at the
threshold of death. She has profited by
recent occurrences. She no longer feels
strong enough to encounter and re
nounce. I cannot blame her.”
“But I,” said the Countess, “if she is
so cowardly and selfish, I have no
daughter !”
At this momeut Pepi came in with
great coyness, 5 and announced that
a subordinate officer, the same who had
onoo before sought the lieutenant at
midnight, was here again and desired
him to repair immediately to the cap
tain, who had just received important
dispatches from headquarters.
“Courage !” the Countess whispered,
looking fixedly in his sad eyes. Walden
smiled- He knew that it was not cour
age to meet death which t]ie Countess
desired for himj it W 43 courage for life
that he lacked,
When he had gone the Countess
went to her child’s room. Caroline was
lying on her bed with her face buried in
her hands. The Conntess drew them
away, and looked earnestly at her dis
turbed features.
“ I wish to know the truth, you owe
it to me, Why do you turn Walden
away ?”
Almost angrily Caroline looked at her
mother, her little hands denoted aud
her lips trembling.
“You really wish to know,” said she,
with a great effort and a sort cf self-tor
turing jov. “Well, then—because he
loves you, not me 1”
The Countess trembled,
“ Who has told ygq this ?”
“ Papa.”
“Your father has in the meantime
perceived that he was in error.”
Caroline looked incredulous.
“ And you do not love him, have
never Juye’d him, mother ?”
At that moment the Countess thought
of telling a falsehood, ir, qrtjer to re
store peace to her child's heart, but the
large black eyes which wore fixed on her,
fufi fif jjnxiety, expectancy and confi
dence, made ii impossible, and, like a
penitent, she answered t
“ I loved him once, but it was lopg,
long ago. He knew it himself for the
first time a few d a y s a ß°- ”
“ Who eyer baa loved him onee|must
love him forever, v answered Caroline,
and in her young face there was a
gloomy, determined expression. And
whom you love must love jou also !”
“But probably with a different love
from that which you feel for Walden.
Listen to me my child ”
But Caroline turned her face sadly to
the wall.
•f has her father’s obstinacy,”
murmured the Countess. “May she be
convinced, likehim, befqns it is too late,”
Sadly, and in thoughtful agitation,
captain Kornfaessel walked to meet his
friend k* s h <! canm up to the platform of
the fort. Loaning m> the *und bags
where they were highestgtqqd Mihalasy.
His pate cheeks, hia bps, l/f s
even his eye-glasses and uniform hung
on him disconsolately, and seemed to say
that the lieutenant had done with life.
Even Pepi’s name had not passed his
lips for several days.
“ Bad besty JJTalden,” said the cap
tain. “Tho geueraf has that
a flank movement against the Mweio is i
contemplated. The attack is to come
from here.”
Wal4 e h looked at his friend in sur
prise and something };k indifference
was expressed' in' 'his facie.
“Have we hqi sliyay§ Wished tp come
to the front
“Certainly,” Kornfaessel eagerly re
plied. “That is before we knew the Count
and his family so well—but since you
are to be hia son-in-law—.”
“ With regard to the last you may
rest easy. Itot what figs this to do with
the flank movement of quv troops
“Nothing, except that unfortunately for
bird we must destroy his villa,”
“ And wt” that particularly ?” ask
ed Walden, really trou^!”^:
“The general’s command is that 1,1
tips arrival of the troop3 we are to keep
up a brisk fire op all the enemy’s posi
tions od the opposite shore, which are
in range of our guns,”
“But the Bandimani villa is a private
house, and the two riflemen who guard
ed me cannot be considered a military
garrison,” cried Walden.
“Look over there 1” said the captain,
handing Walden his spy-glass. “The
Piedmontese seem already to have set
tled themselves there, and it would be
contrary to our duty to spare this villa
which in the contemplated passage may
cost the lives of hqpdpeds of our brave
young men.”
Walden’s unsteady hand took a long
time to adjust the glass. The cross of
Savoy floated from the pinnacles of the
castle-like villa and the splendid trees
of the park seemed to have been out
down. There could be no doubt that the
country house had been converted into
a fortress, and the importance of this
post for a landing was not to be denied.
‘‘And the Conntess and Caroline?”
asked Walden.
Kornfaessei avoided bis friend's eye
and muttered, shrugging hia shouldprs:
“No matter—we are soldiers.”
Wa'deu felt that even if he wished La
could not dissuade the captain from ful
filling his duty.
A short time afterward the first gte
na-Je yhistled over the lake. Waukel
hrber naa adjusted the gun and its
action was as perfect as he expected.
Shot after shot followed, so teat the i
tower trembled to its base. At last the
shore batteries of Intra responded. But
their bibs scarcely reached the middle
of the lake, where they sprinkled the
water.
Guido Kornfaessel continued to bring
more guns into actioj. The little fort
looked like a fire-spitting volcano, the
mortars thundered, and the rocket guns
described their smoke wreaths over the
lake, while a dark gray c'ond rose slow
,ly above the Lasso del Ferro. It
gathered thickly around the mountain’s
lofty summit, while the ends of the
i smoke vail reached down to the low gray
tower between the alders on the shore.
Silently the gunners applied them
selves to their gloomy work. Trembling
ly and silently, too, the Conntess and
her daughter clung to each other, and
. gazed at the opposite shore, where
gradually dark pillars of smoke mount
: ed to the snow crowned mountains, and
. the blue sky above them.
| Toward? evening the clouds became
I red, and under them tee jfleam
ed. The villa Bandimiam was burning.
Walden’s sensitive nature could bnt
feel that, 'S’jth the bombardment of the
: villa pis last ppp£ of lore
i and happiness had been swept away.
He approached the Countess with out
ward calmness, and sUe understood the
inexorable military necessity which had
commanded this terrible thing; bnt not
withhi?Qdiug this she did not conceal
that the sight of her father’s burning
house nad cade a painful itnpreMion
upon Caroline, beneath which Waldens
last hopes and wishes must be crusned.
The Countess confessed also that any
other result of the oonflict than the sep
aration of the two lovers seemed to her
impossible if Hippolyt had been boned
under the walls of his house. Even if
he survived the destruction of his prop
erty, hia hate would have received fresh
sustenance, and this feeling wou'd be a
just one which bis family must share,
not condemn.
The Countess continued, exoitedly:
“As deeply as I must deplore the
fatality which causes men who seem de
signed to love each other to array them
selves against each other without their
own consent, I cannot conceal from my
self that this is one of the beckoning*
of fate to which we must submit. I
could not advise my daughter to give
herself to a man, at the sight of whom
she must always be reminded of the
most terrible tragedy of her life, whose
hand probably directed the gun which
put au end to her father’s life.”
The Countess paused aud looked with
peculiar interest at her young frund,
who had listened with sad attention.
“ For myself,” she said, then, “ yon
seem (as much as I strnggle against it)
more of a stranger than when I saw you
for tho first time in the streets of this
city. Doubtless you remember the con
fession which I made to you once; since
yesterday I can scarcely think of you
"without "a shudder. I see yonr haudH
stained with blood, ai_d yonr eyes full of
hate and aDger, fixed upon my husband’s
home. Every shot that you fired tore
my heart; although I coustantly told
myself that your duty aud honor requir
ed you to obey your superiors, at the
same time I wai obliged to force my
self not to hate you, and when the
flames gleamed over there, I knew that
I had never loved any man but Hippo
lyt, aud that the first danger in which I
knew him to be, had proven it to me.
This knowledge of myself comes too
late—he is probably already dead—but,
none the less will you doubt the sincer
ity of my words.”
With an effort which she could not
entirely conceal, Walpurga extended her
hand to the officer :
“ I know, in spite of this, that yon
are noble and will forgive all,” she con
cluded, “and that you will make no de
lay in informing me if I receive permis
sion to go to the other shore, and then
learn certainly whetiier or not ho still
lives.”
“ As soon as our troops have effected
a landing, there will bo nothiug more,
Conntess, to prevent your seeking the
unfortunate place,” answered Walden,
touching his cousin’s hand lightly. He
felt that every comfort or excuse for tho
occurrence, must sound like mockery;
then he withdrew with a low bew—he
knew that it was a farewell for life.
The reneated commands of the Count
ess were neoessarv to induce Pepi to
conduet the officer out aud open the gate
for him, as it already began to grow
dark, and the gardener, like maDy of the
inhabitants of Lareno, had taken flight.
The little Viennese kept as far as pos
sible from the handsome monster who
had helped to batter down the Count’s
villa, and who doubtless had further
horrible designs against it and its mus
ter.
Even his sorrowful countenance ceuld
not reassure Pepi. She waited until she
could no longer hear his footsteps, and
was just about closing the garden gate
when Milialasy’s long pale face appear
ed close before her,
“Pepi, dearest Pepi !” implored the
pseudo Hungarian, who seemed to seek
protection in love against all the horrors
which surrounded him.
But screaming loudly, the maiden ran
away in abhorrence from the incen
diary.
During the night the troops arrived,
and at break of day the transporting
began. They found the enemy’s shore
stripped pf all active forces.
At his own request Walden had been
assigned to tho advance guard, and with
peculiar feelings he landed in the little
harbor whioh he had reached twice by
swimming.
The various articles that Tomasso had
stored here had disappeared. The ad
vance into the park required time and
labor. Au abatis had been constructed
of the handsomest shrubs and trees, and
their half burnt tranks lay directly
across the road. The roof hud fallen in,
and the villa itself had been burnt to
the ground floor.
All the domestics had fled except the
faithful SigQor Giacomo; he had brought
his master (who had been severely
wounded in the shoulder by a loose
stone from the wall) into a cave dug out
Qf tfie j-ocj?, and after the cannonading
ceased, had taken him back into oue of
the ground floor rooms that had escaped
destruction.
With beating heart, Walden approach
ed the bedside of the wounded man.
But instead of being received, as lie had
expected, with gloomy silence or bitter
saroasps, the Count extended his unin
jured leff hand, anfi in answer to Wal
den’s first words, he site] kindly;
“J have nothing to f’orgiye. I am
aware that in war a soldier has no will
but that pf his superiors, and I know
yon well enough t p bp sqre that your
guns \ycV e not (Jirepted against this
place in vengeance. If anything more
is needed to calm you, you must know
that tfie b otn i ; ! a fflniet)t of the villa has
saved rpe froju worse tilings, perhaps,
from court martial and death. I was mis
taken whep I thought that I had placed
myself above suspicion, by years of loy
alty to the house of Savoy, After your
escape, it was not doubted that I main
tained a secret connection with my form
er couutrymen, and there was a double
motive in inakiDg my house a fortress—
namely, to watch me, and at the same
time to rpitp t-io apvautagea of my sup
posed affiance fiy "securing a position
tliat would' bo exempt from your fire.
Your first shell,' which destrbyed my
daughter’s room, was pay salvation, and
rhjg'ppbffiy with y-iu continued
firing ijeep and file from tJie tfarigerp'us JiTrn
or of being considered yonr friend.
However, they seemed to see a kind of
safety in my remaining and a danger in
my going. It was only when they turn
ed to fly from your fire and the falling
walls and burning beams that they gave
ma’And my Giacomo the privi
lege of cfying hero, Wiierfi are Wsl
purga aud Caroline?”
“Probably on ilie way hither,” afl-
Sjverad Walden, full of fresh courage.
“ duSpasf. pusjipd off from tjie shore I
saw thp Cojiutess speaking' the
the pbmHWuJer- Doubtless, she was
asking permission to accompany the
troops.”
The Count seemed joyfully excited,
and almost a young lover’s impatience
spoke in his eyes.
It was not long before the Conntess
and Caroline stood at fiis {jedsiqe.—
Upon ffieir ’aw'val" balden modestly
withdrew, and after an impetuous greet
ing from her father Caroline also left
her parents alone.
Immediately Hippolyt extended his
hand to his wite, and said in a timid,
trembling voice :
“Forgfve me, if you can.”
“I haye nothing to forgive, for t have
misjudged yoif as cfeeply as yoff have
me,” answered the Countess,
beside the bed.
“It is a sin not to be able to believe
in goodness,” the Count began again.
“But as much as I deserved yonr cold
ness, I loved you too dearly, Walpurga,
to be able to hear the confession of your
love for another, withont the deepest
convulsions of my innermost nature.”
“It was an error of my heart, which I
first realized when it cost me the love of
my child. That was ngyer love which
could be joyfully renounced even for
one’s own child, and, yesterday, I hated
the man whom I once believed I loved,
for he had endangered your life.”
“y 0 u did him injustice; the Austrian
guns have saved ups, ad there is no
man whom I honor tpore highly than
your cousin.”
“May your child’s happiness reward
yon for these words, Hippolyt.”
“Oar child’s happiness; yes, for ours’
is oyer,” began the Count, after a pause,
and his face Plodded gs jf' all the shad
ows of an unsatisfactory life ’ were pass
ing over his spirit, “You can never for
give the injury which I have done you,
and if you could, I couli no longer re
spect you.”
“ Then do not respect me, Hippolyt,”
said the Countess, rising, “ for I have
forgiven you all, and tVo more readily
since I know that everything which once
wounded me was only love and care for
my honor. You must not send me away
from you, Hippolyt, on onr poor child’s
account. Her proud young heart has
been torp by her loye anti the suspi
cions which you have implanted. She
sends her lover from her because you
have called him her mother’s lover.
Only opr reconciliation will repew the
engagement to which you consented in
a most solemn hour. Why should we
entail upon onr only ehild the unhappi
ness of our misunderstandings? Do
yon know Caroline’s answer when I
tried te convince her ? ‘ I will b*-' ; j, ve
yon, mother,’ she said- ‘ when I have
both parents again.’ She is as firm as
you. Therefore, despise me, but let us
make onr child happy ”
vjifitu shining eyes the sick man raised
himself anfl put his arm around the
Countess’ neck. Then he said gently :
“ You are right, love knows neither
love nor honor—not only for our child,
bpt for ipy own sake, Walpurga, remain
with me I”
When Caroline was called into the
room she found her parents with beam
ing eyes and hand in hand,
“ You told me once that Henry was
better than L After all that happened
since, I must believe yon. Above all,
you have to thank him that yonr father
still lives. Will yon reward him for
this with a suspicion that he does not
deserve ? Your parents are reconciled,
will you perpetuate their errors ?”
lcannot do otherwise,” said Caro
line defiantly, while the tears ran down
her cheeks.
They sent for Walden. But be was
not to be found.
“He has gone away in anger; he loves
me no more 1” thought Caroline, and
her mother’s earnest face seemed to say
that they could not complain if Walden,
after being so long the sport of contra
dictory humors, would listen now only
to the voice of his own manhood.
Troubled to death, Caroline walked
out into the garden to visit once more
before her departure the spots which
had been so dear to her. The magnolia
in front of her window was bare and
scorched by the flames from the bouse,
and the balcony of her room was clearly
defined in the blue morning skv, for
there was just so much of the wall left
as was needed to support it.
Then suddenly her little feet hesi
tated. Strange sounds issued from the
crevices of the walls. Not able to mas
ter her agitation, she hurried to the
door and the steps. The latter were half
tumbling down, but by means of the
balustrade she sprang aloft, and stood
at the entrance of her room over which
the light clonds now floated. The fur
niture and the marble squares of the
floor were covered with fragments of the
walls and fell in under her weight. Only
the piano stood npright., and before it
sat an Austrian officer playing the chime
of bells, as clearly as he had once
played it on his gaitar.
“Henry !” cried Caroline excitingly.
With wet cheeks, Walden turned to
her, and stood embarrassed and irreso :
lute. But with the entreaty: “Forgive
me, Henry !” Caroline hid her charming
little face in his breast.
Scarcely two rooms distant from them,
burned to a cinder, with a smouldering
beam directly across his crushed heart,
Geronimo slept the eternal sleep. If he
had lived he would have forfeited the
reward offered by Kornfaessel for Wal
den’s liberation, but Tommaso’s proper
ty would have compensated him for it.
Since the profit did not pay for the dan
ger, Geronimo had really for years
withstood every temptation to smuggle.
But after he was once dragged into au
adventure against his will and by a
higher decree as he thought, he could
no longer resist the electric current, and
the next night, when the Austrian troops
arrived in Lareno, Kornfaessel knew no
body bnt him to recommend as a scout.
Geronimo did not refuse the offered
price, aud landed in his fishing boat
a little distance from the villa
Bandimiani, in order to approach
it by a secret path. He had already ac
complished his object, and had discov
ered the abandonment of the villa by all
the troops, when the sight of tho desert
ed bouse in flames induced him to go
after Tomaso’s legacy. He rushed into
the blazing buildiDg, and never came
forth again.
When he did not return to Lareno,
the troops set out without waiting for
his information.
A* short as the war had been it cost
the brave Captain Kornfaessel his life.
Walden and Mihalasy escaped un
hurt. There was a little similarity in
the history of the two officers, inasmuch
as they both left the service—Walden to
undertake the management of the Ca
rinthian estates, belonging to his future
mother-in-law, and Mihalasy to retire
blissfully upon the laurels and savings
of Mr. Michler.
It was in the Spring of the year whioh
had been so unfortunate for Austria.
Caroline and Walden stood on the ter
race of the Venetian palace of Bandin
naoi, and in quiet, peaceful certainty of
their happiness, looked down on the
canal grande, where the gondolas fol
lowed each other untiringly.
Then Walden rose up suddenly in sur
prise, and said;
“The gentleman in that gondola is as
muoh like our long lost Mihalasy as one
hedge pole is to another.”
His oostume also confirmed this
opinion. The person in the gondo
la wore the national dress of Hungary—
laced coat, boot and cap. A bright red
cravat gave him a still more romantic
appearance. The elegant Magyar look
ed through his gold eye-glass at the pair
at the window, and a great agitation
seemed to take possession of him as he
ordered his gondolier to stop at the
palace steps.
Immediately afterward he found him
self face to face with his former com
panion in arms and his betrothed, and
was cordially welcomed by both of
them.
While the Countess was present they
spoke on all sorts of indifferent topics,
but the brave Magyar seemed to be un
der a certain restraint, and he glanced
often at the door, as if he expected
someone. At last became out with tho
question with which he had been occu
pied, aud hoped that the merry little
waiting maid had been quite well.
He did not finish, for Caroline could
scarcely suppress |}er laughter, and
Walden helfi his handkerchief to his
lips. Only tfie Countess remained se
rious.
“Fepi?” asked she. “Oh, she is
still P}y faithful companion, althqngh I
am afraid tUfist sqqn he separated.
These strange surroundings do not
please her, and I fear she is often home
sick,”
Mihalasy became very silent, and be
gan to play with his cap.
Caroline and Walden arose and walk
ed into the next room.
“Pepi will be glad to meet an old ac
quaintance of whom she has often spo
ken,” began the Countess laughingly.
“Has she really?” asked Mihalasy,
eagerly,
VCeftainiy—would you like me to call
her F
And without waiting for an answer,
the Conntess loft the room. Immedi
ately afterwards I’epi stood ou the
threshold, itp a lo'jjt nry, spa would
haye" tqrnfid ' bqt Br]iiit\lasy ad
vanced tq meet her with giaat strides,
and took her by the hand.
Then he said with an eloquence which
surprised himself that in peace and in
war he had thonght only of her, and
that he had no higher ambition than to
purchase a little plantation somewhere,
it tihe would go with bim as pis wife.
Pepi, who was even rourider ffian of
obi batoned not without emotion, and
her’cheeks, which had beeh blanched by
the }agooa aftfipaniiote:
talingiy sjie said:’' " '
“I must confess I have thought often
of yon because you wore so droll; but
marry ? I have sworn never to marry q
foreigner ,”
“Bnt I am a Hungarian.”
“That is the same thing,” decided
Pepi, emphatically.
Tipp'dly, Mihal'V'sy confessed that al
though he was a Hungarian, he was de
scended from a German father and
German grand parents on his mother’s
side, and therefore he was a full-blooded
German.
“That is a consideration,” thonght
Pepi, “If you only looked like other
people. But only imagine our taking a
walk together in my native oity, All
tfie school boys would tun after us. Be
sides, you have such a fqnuy name. My
good mother could never during life
learn to prqnounoe it’”
Mihalasy was sdent for some time
and his glance rested thoughtfully upon
his newly fonnd love. At last he made
the greatest sacrifice of all for his dar
ling.
“My parents were really called Mich
ler,” stammered he, “and if I wish there
is nothing to hinder my taking that
name again.”
“Therefore it i$ Mr. and Iflrs, Mich
ler,” said t*epi, smineg amid her tears,
and giving her hand to the former lieu
tenant.

General D. M. Dußose, the son-in-law

him, that General Toombs has lost al
most entirely the sight of one of bis
eyes. He did not know that anything
was the matter with his vision until last
Snnday. Qn that day he went to hear
Bishop Gross, of the Catholic Church,
preach in Washington, While attempt
ing to concentrate his vision on a pic
ture in the ehureh by looking at it
through his forefinger and thnmb, he
suddenly discovered that he could not
see with his left eye. The power of
sight in that eye is not entirely destroy
ed, but is so defective as to be of little
serviee to him. What adds to the singu

Toombs’ father was affeoted in the same
way five or six years prior to his death.

OCT ON THE PRAIRIES.
Terrible Massacre of 3len, Women and C'hil*
dren by the Indians—Assistance Asked For.
San r~-iNOTBOo, Jane 19. -Details of
the Indian outbreak in Idaho and Ore
gon show that the Indians had posses
sion of Camas Prairie, except the town
of Mount Idaho, which they are threat
ening. Col. Perry, with one hundred
soldiers, some citizens and friendly In
dians, marched against them. Quite a
number of men, women, children and
teamsters were massacred. Twenty
nine whites were killed. The whites
have killed White Bird, chief of the
hostiles, and his family.
Later —Troops, with one hundred
and fifty citizens from Mount Idaho, en
countered the Indians at the head of
White Bird Canon. The troops dis
mounted and left a few of the soldiers
and twenty friendly Indians to hold
the horses. The Indians opened fire
upon the troops, and fighting continued
for some time. The soldiers guard
ing the horses could see that the
ludians were getting the best of
the fight, and that the soldiers
were retreating. The captain of the
party of citizens and Sergeant Lytle,
and one private, are known to have been
killed. The whole of the horse guard,
both Indians and whites, broke and ran,
some for Mount Idaho and some for
Lapevai, leaviug the horses to run loose
over the prairies. Those comiug to
Lapevai never stopped till they reached
the post. Many houses ou the prairie
have been burned. A soldier who reach
ed the garrison at 8 o’clock, on the
morning of the 18tb, from the fight, re
ported that the troops were on foot
and surrounded by Indians in the canon,
and in a hand to hand fight. Col. Perry
and about half of his command are said
to have been killed. The remainder
were surrounded' and fighting against
odds when informant left. The Indians
eugaged in the fight are non treaty Hez
Perces. They, together with other dis
affected tribes, number about two hun
dred effective warriors. There ia
a general uprising of savages,
and the whole country is wild
with alarm. Indians are massaere
ing men, women and children on the
Camas prairie, and settlers are fleeing
in all directions for safety. General
Howard ia at Lewiston, but powerless,
owing to inadequate military force.
Troops have been ordered from a num
ber of posts in the department, and will
soon be on their way to the scene of
disturbances.
General McDowell, commanding the
Division of the Pao fic, lias been tele
graphed to, and speedy assistance is de

are expected at Lewiston. Gov. Chad

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
The Prospect About Pine House, South Caro
lina.
[ Correspondence Chronicle and Constitutionalist. \
Pine House, June 19.—After a long
and continued drouth of about five
weeks, which was beginning to prove
very injurious to the corn crop, the rain
came just in time to destroy much of the
wheat and oat crop of this section. Vast
quantities of the wheat crop were badly
iujured by the heavy rains of the past
week. It, being cut and shocked in the
field, and thore not being sunshine
enough to dry it, it was obliged to
sprout. The yield of the wheat crop has
been much better than that of the oat,
and both would have been better had
the rain come sooner. Cotton and corn
have been very small up to this time,
but the rain is bringing it out very fast.
If the seasons continue good there will
be a larger yield of corn this year than
any year since the war. In view of the
threatened war in Europe the farmers
planted a larger area in corn than usual.
Now that we have the right man in our
Gubernatorial Chair, Legislature and
other sub-officers, and plenty of area
seeded to corn, let ns next look to the
raising of hogs and cattle. When South
Carolina does get to raising her own
corn, flour, meat, &0., with the right
men in office, she may then be said to be
at the zenith of her glory. Dhawde.
