Oh 1 U was sweet in the evening time And our pathway went through fields of wheat, Narrow that path and rough the way. But he was near, and the birds sang true. And the stars came out in the twilight grey. Oh 1 it was sweet in the evening time . Softly be spoke of tliw days long past, Softly of blessed days to be; Close to bis arm and closer 1 prest— Toe com-tteld path was Eden to me. O! it was sweet in the evening time ! Graver the light grew and grayer still, The rooks flitted home through the purp.e shade; , . The, nightingales sang whore the thorns stood high A* I walked with him in the woodland glade. Ofc ! it was sweet in the evening time ! And the latest gleam of daylight died ; My band in his enfolded lay ; We swept the dew from the wheat as we pass- For narrower, narrower wound the way. Oh ! it was sweet in the evening time ! He looked in the depths of my eyes and said : •’Sorrow and gladness will oome to us, sweet, But together we’ll walk through the fields of life Close as we walked through the fields of wheat."

The old silver dollar, our dad’s legal dollar, The bright, shining dollar, loved better than all.

Trauulaied Froiu the German For the Nun day 1 hrontclfc and Coaot nationalist. 'Hines who poeesft the fashionable season of 1865 at Baden-Baden. Will easily remember a lady, who was the lioness of that Summer. Ihe first question among straogers who lounged in the wicker-chaire before the Kur haue.or met in the ruins of the old castle, was. *• Have you seen the beautiful Mile, de Z. i It was a‘German name, but the bearer was French. from Alsace, and oue may a eo meet the same name on the right bank of the Rhine in Bulen. Mile. Noerni de Z. was the latest sensation of Baden. The mysterious usually surrounds onlv saints, heroes and criminals. Mile, de Z. could not be classed in either of these categories. Hhe was not like St. Kathe rine. who proved her virtue by walking over red-hot plow-shares;'she preferred to set her little well-formed foot, eocased in satin, on the green turf of the Lichtenshater Avenue, and let her virtue be proven by all who were wor thy the honor of cultivating her society. Her heroism extended no farther than to ward off all allusions, declarations and confessions which might be made to her, in a more or less reeerved manner, and if there was anything criminal in her, it was only the quiet coldness with which she slsyed sll the hearts around her. A sensation has always a positive pith or kernel, round which all rumors, sayings, praises or cslumniee msy be set. Noe mi de Z. was beautiful and charming, more charming still from the fact that she dif fered from other young ladies. She belonged to no genus and was the only one of her kind Som • one of her qualities you might find in other women, but uever again such a happy combination of Ihe contradictory. She resem bled a ring set with precious stones, the initial letter of each stone when put together forms the name of the weater. Though small in size she i-os-essed a carriage which many a Court dame might have euvied ; her grace had a ritwl meaning, the livlinees of her tern peiament was controlled by her surpassing re pose of manner. '1 he strong lines of her fea tures were softened by an expression of tender feeling, aud in moments of excitement her dark blue eye lighted w.th passion, hhe play ed Sebastian Bach and in the same breath called Monsieur Worth of Paris, agreat genius. Hhe knew how to manage a horse with the skill of an ac ompto-lie I equestrian, and then oue might see her mnsmg alone in the chapel cu the hill by moon ight. ’J lie most elegaut men of fashion had fol lowed her; the heroes of ihe clubs in i arts, 81.

The most dirtiu guirhed usuies, the most elegant people, wor thy < f lcve, or intolerable; aud among them some whom oue scarcely knew whether they belonged t • the former or the latter. be w is seen with all and yet with none; she treated all alike, ill or well, aocordlpg to the bar jineter itf her humor: no one cottUl beast of lur preference Fur hundreds of years the great Alsace families have married among the nselves Ho people wanted to know if Noerni would not go to the altar with one of her cousins from a neighboring castle. This cousin waH m Paris, ill the Bureau of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and It was reported that af.er hia marriage he would go abroad and repre sent Ins country at sopte Court, wh cb is often as ■ xpensive as it t.i difiiniilt, The mam point was that this cousin remain ed hi Pans absorbed iu business, while Noemi amused herself at Baden-Bad u. Hie had never spoken of him her-elf. Did shi Jake it for granted that she must follow the time uoj;ored customs of the old families?

Hhe re proved him. and told him (hat a man should always resemble * tuit/or. A mirror I how so ? was toe general question- tie should reflect, answered Nor m!, laughing- . The corpulent Duko turned his oig&r about in bus in nth and was offended. One of the gentlemen in the compmy ventured to say to the voung lady that he had “never seen her at the Bank. The sight of gold with the chance of Winning has a demoniac charm for women They feel in a/urosemal element.” N'.omi turned towards (.no man and said : “Ab you mean in the purity jnd genuine ness of the gold;” an answer for which he was not prepared “I never play.' she added, be cause I have too much p#*n°n for it, and with passion one loses every game.' “Von never play ?” be asked. “No, I have already said so !” ‘ Not even With hearts ?” He was a young man who for several days had found himself in the circle of her satelites. He had beeu presented by one of the gentle npui of the e'.ufc, huf she fiad forgotten the name; fit fact- until now she had eparcely no ticed lnm. Indeed his appearance hardly de served notice, at least in Civil dress, hut In his Ulan uniform Dieter vott Pobraet would have appeared to much better advantage, fie was neither very large nor handsome, nor yet ugly. But he had a pair of firm, flashing eyes, a long, well trained mustachios and as an especial mark a popiplete mathematical diagram of scars on Uis f*cp. Dining the walk from the jjurjjaps to her dwelling, Noemi bad taken his arm. “Vou remind me of our French Balafre, tfie Duke do Guise,” she remarked. “From how much faithlessness 10 feminine hearts have you deserved this disf ingtjnii ? “Pardon, graciou< lady, it a {he tiuth and sincerity of my heart.” Noenu laughed. “With passion o.e loses every game, re peated Her escort. “On the battle field of Gottingen I was too sagor, and bear this scar on the light temple in imseqirence.

It was neer the mid dle of November and the columns of the Ger man army were moving towards the heart of- France, from Orleans on to the Loire which was the weak point of our position. ‘ From here we expected the advance of the national army. The German commanders had ordered the greatest vigilance and caution; especially was the passage of the Loire to be watched. Over almost impassible roads and in the pouring rain a picket of Ulans dragged them selves along tbe route to Gien. We know the leader of this little troop ; it was Dieter Von Schract. Thor nghly wet by the rain, the red, white and black colors hung from the lances. An almost impenetrabl* veil of gray mist and rain c tncealed the country before the German soldiers. They tried to whistle a tone, but the storm and rain drove it back in their throats. “A little while longer, my boys, and we will reach the castle where we can find shelter for a few hours, but we must go further to-night. It i- necessary to keep our eye# open.” They had ridden only a short distance when they sw a bright light. It Wae the castle at last : the officer bad judged aright. There was a wall with an ingeniously con trived iron railing enclosing a stately build ng. with two wings, which formed a oourt. Toe gate was cloeed, and after repeated calls from the office, a male hitman being made hie ap pearance, who opened tbe gate with trembling hands. “We quarter here to-night," signified the commander to au old servant whs came down the steps into the vestibule with a lamp. “We have long expected It,’’ be stammered, “and the mistress of the castle begs your kindnese and forbearance.” “Who is your mistress ?” “Tbe Baroueßs D’Antbeville.” Just at this moment Dieter accidentally raised hia eyes to tbe great stairway, and it seemed to him that a woman's bead was quick- Iv drawn back and be distinctly heard the metis of a silk dress. “Is your mistress young ?” Tbe servant smiled and said, “a lady of sev enty She has. notwithstanding tbe war, been unable to persuade herself to leave her pos sessions." “Present my respects to her, and say that her sex demands every possible consideration.” After Dieter bad taken possession of tbe room which had been assigned to him, he took out bis map to examine bis whereabouts, placed sentinels aronud tbe castle, and returned to the dining room, where the old servant was ready to serve Uis dinner. “Mv stay here must be abort,” be said, “oth erwise I should not fail to pay my respects to your mistress. Does she orcupy this floor of the castle ?” “No. sir ; the floor above. Tbe windows of her apartments open on the conrtyatd through which you entered.” Dieter remembered he bad seen a lighted window and tbe form of a female shadow. It must be confessed that Dieter had an ex cellent appetite. At the conclusion of bis din ner tbe servant brought him a desert plate of sevrts china beautifully gilded, on which was folded a satin damask ni pkin. Dieter raised tbe napkin and bis eyes rested spell bound on tbe plate—l efore him was the dove’s feather with a dark spot on it, from tbe and ied blood. His senses seemed for a monte it paralyzed. He sought no explanation; he ouly looked at tbe feather and tbe past came t > mind vividly : Noemi's uuwomanly conduct which bad o deeply wounded his heart; the rapturous mintents iu the forest, when he had tasted tier breath and beard her heart beat. No! No! Ue had not forgotten her. And when he afterwards went home and believed be bad overcome bis passion he was obliged to acki owledge that be bad deceived -himself, and Noemi had rooted herself deeply in hia heart. Without being conscious of tbe fact, he had carried her image to his West Prussian home, aud here she was, still with him, iu her own Fathei laud, which he had entered as an enemy •• Noemi," he whispered, and her breath moved the light feather which ha was raising to his lips. Hhe stood before him, and snrprise overcame every other feeling which her appearauoe might, under other oircumatanoes, have called foi th. W’aita delnsion of his exoited im agination. of bis longing thoughts, or— "It is I, Herr von 8 brack," said Noemi, in her well-remembered tones. “You ! indeed it is you—as I hear that voioe and see the fall of those eyelaahos”— Pis glance rested upon her in motionless rapture. Hhe was as beautiful as ever; as beautiful as when, for the first time, he enter ed her magio c.rcle. Hhe only appeared to have become more serious and more quiet. • Yotjr look asks me why we meet here.” Sheqajfl, ’T am living with tfly mother-in law." “You are married ?" The question seemed scarcely above a whisper. “j was. but am no longer; my husband has been dead a year- Since that time I have lived here with bis mother. We have not tbe same name, however, for she married a second time after the death of my husba-id’a father. We had expected the enemy ” “The enemy ! Noemi,” he said half aloud. ‘•Vfe women have a delicate regard for out- V&rfl appeftrapeps. As yeu rode into tbe yard I looked from the window AUd thought I recog ti aed you. Iu order to be sure, I hid myself in a place where I could obseiye you as you came up tbe steps," “And tbe feather was the dumb informer of your presence ?" Mid Dieter, completing tbe sentence, at the same time lettiDg bis eyes linger on tbe beantiful woman. “That yon should have thought tbe little thing worth “*&e litfie thing !” repeated Noemi with a m-laucholy expression, I’it weighed very h:av ily upon me.

Noemi ? Oh. my God !’’ She had risen and taken a few hasty steps forward, but she returned and looked at him with her sonl beaming in her eyes. “Deceived ? No—but—" An expression of intense pain accompanied tbe last word, then she said with a sigh: “Let us go!” She led the wav back, and they spake very little to each other, and that with coolness, as two hearts might which were agon zed. Each ti It restrained by the last decisive wotd Noemi stopped before a house in the pleasure grounds. Graudmama wiU be surprised to see, you, she said, and by a gesture i .vited him to enter tbe house, bnt sndlenly seeming to have an other thought she pointed to the arbor and said: “Wait there, I will return immediately. She went to tbe house and in a few minutes came back, and taking a seat by bitn she drew a paper from her pocket, which she gave him to read. "Here is an explanation of my conduct to you at our castle—you as the enemy of my country! The French division general, who was to bave effected the passage of the Loire that night (an undertaking which your vigi lance frustrated) foresaw that our house would be tbe central point, which the enemy would select to make Uis observations. Here, in this letter, he laid npon me the patriotic dnty to keep the commander of the advance guard iu tbe castle that night by every art aud at any price.” “And what else ?” asked Dieter. “We modern women have not the talent for such heroic deeds. The greatest of minds aud hearts are shattered by too snbtile and deli cate feelings. Not tbe love of my Fatherland influenced my wish to keep you that night at tbe castle. No—yon shall know it all. Your sadden appearance, tbe overwhelming memory of tbe past aud my own feelings in a moment of forgetfnlness! Aud now with this recollec tion and a sense of humiliation to enter into marriage with yon?—a relation which should b* as pure as tbe wings of au angel and undis turbed fcy any memory of weakness or reproach —no, no!" Hhe made a gesture to prevent bis coming nearer to her, and then sighing deeply said : “Now you know why I have not answered your proposal. You are right, ‘with passion one loses every game.’ ” And so they parted again. Half a year had passed when Noemi receivod a letter from Dieter, the last lie wrote to tier. After au introduction, be said : “I am reliably informed that you have lately refused an offer from one v.ho could have given you rank, position aud wealth, such as I could not. You have made a sacrifice which bumbles me; or is it no sacrifice because you do not love tbe man ? If you love me and will not marry me, why should you uot marry bim whom you do not love, or perhaps love a little less than you do me? It is the same logic or sophistry. Tbere is a self denial in your heart or an inward re solve which raises you and lowers me, and this annihilates every coDHideia ion with you and overcomes every oonflict which might lead to an understanding between us, either one wav or tbe other; the one I would like best would Le our future life together, Where is your mistress ? ask every angle and corner of my house and if yon do uot give mo a satisfactory answer, Noemi, the newspapers very soon will contain au account of a woman being stolen to open day from the street.” And what answer came ? In conclusion we will only add that Noemi von Schract has been for several years the happy mistress of a weßt- Frussian borne, aud the grandmother who “never could endure the Prussians.” holds one of tbe little monsters on her lap and worries herself about a mark which the baby has on his little arm.

[From the New York Herald.] Baltimore, Md., June 19.— A special dispatch from St. Michaels, T.albot county, Md., to the Sun, says : Fred Douglasfe, United States Marshal, for the District of Columbia, paid a visit, for the first time since he left here, for ty-one years ago, to the scenes of his youth. Mr. Douglass some time ago expteased a wish to visit his former mas ter, Captain Thomas Auld, a resident of St. Michaels, Captain Auld had ex pressed his willingness and desire to meet his old servant, and this visit of Douglass to St. Miohaels was mainly for that purpose. He was received by Judge William H.

A Lively Heacoatre witli tfce lamates-He I* Mortally Wounded, Bat Flffcta to tfce Last, and Temporarily Kocapea—Hl* Captare and Incarceration in Jail. Friday night, about ten o’clock, a negro burglar entered tbe residence of Mr. Gonrdin Young, in Savannah. He was detected, and made his escape, after knocking Mr. Young down. His further operations are detailed as follows by tbe Savannah News, of yesterday : Foiled in his purpose of robbery at Mr. Young’s house, the negro burglar was not discouraged, as events show, and deliberately planned a second rob bery in the same neighborhood, in this instance selecting the residence of Jadge Walter 8. Chisholm, at the corner of Whitaker and Gaston streets. When he entered these premises, by what means, or how long he had been conoealed, are matters of donbt and speculation. The family retired about half-past eleven o’clock, and the bouse, as nsnal, was securely looked. About three o’olook, a. m., judge Chisholm was awakened by a noise as though someone was disturb ing his pants, which were lying on a chair at the Bide of the bed. He imme diately threw ont his hand, and, striking the chair, knocked it over. At the tame time, raising up, he discovered by the faint light in the room a figure crouch ing. He called to his wife to turn up the gas (which was near the opposite side of the bed), that someone was in the room, and at once jumped out and made for the invader. The barglar re treated to the next room, and was fol lowed by Judge Chisholm, who, unfor tunately, was unarmed. As he made a grab for the burglar, the fellow sud denly wheeled and .Strnck the Jadge a Heavy Blow In the face near the temple, knocking him down and inflicting an ugly bruise, and then dashed down stairs. Mean while, Mrs. Chisholm ran to the window, gave the alarm, calling for the “police.” Fortunately policemen Morgan aud Hor ton were ih the vicinity, and hearing the alarm responded promptly. Capt. Rob era Falligant, who lived directly oppo site, was aroused by his wife, who had been awakened by tbe noise, and who informed him that there was some trouble over at Judge Chisholm’s. He immediately threw < n some clothing, and seizing his pistol, hastened to the house, reaching the door about the same time as tbe policemen. This all oc curred in less time than it takes to re late it. Mrs. Chisholm came down with a light and admitted them, tbe Judge, having partially recovered fiom tbe se vere blow, joining them at tbe moment. They flrst entered the parlor to Reatch for the thief, and whilst looking around, Mrs. Chisholm caught sight of a man’s feet under the piano and called out, “There he is, shoot him.” Polioe mau Horton wus standing nearest to Mrs. Chisholm, who held the lamp, aDd hardly had the words been uttered when the negro sprang out, aud seizing the piano stool, raised it and Struek a Mavage Blow Apparently at Mrs. Chisholm. Polioe rnuu Horton, however, caught the blow on his left arm, and dropping on his knee, fired a shot at the black scoun drel, who. after nimiug the blow, again darted under the piano. Captain Falli gant, dropping down, fired at the same time. It is thought that Policeman Horton’s shot took effeotjin the ohin, as a ball passed entirely through, entering just below the lip and coming put un der thp throat. He was also shot in the right knee. As soon as fire was opened ou him, the fellow sprang from under the piano and made a rush into the hall way, followed by Capt. Falligant, who managed to get a slight grip on him, at the same time bringing his pistol direct ly down upon him. Unfortunately, the weapon failed to discharge, and the ne gro, who was a powerful fellow, wrench ing himself loose, succeeded in getting into the dining room before Capt. Falli gant could recock his pistol. The po licemen and Capt. Falligant followed him into the adjoining room. Here the negro made a stand. The room was perfectly dark, but the light in the hall enabled him to distinguish his pursuers without being seen. Capt. Falligant rushed into the room and received A Fearful Blow on Hie Side ol the Head With a heavy chair which the negro had hurled at him with all his violenoe. The blow knocked Capt. Falligant over against the mantel with great force, and from thpnpg hp was thrown several yards across the room- The blood flawed freely from the wound, and tbe sight of his bleeding head shooked Mrs. Chis holm, who bad, until then, preserved wonderful self-possession. The barg lar, t king advantage of this sudden stoppage of his pursuers, sped out of the room, smashing through a glass door, reaching the parlor again, al though several shots were fired at him, managed to get on the front piazza through one of the windows opening to the floor. This piazza extends partially over the iron railing enolcsing the piazza, %ho is on dqty in' tjie b 4 been attracted by the noise, was standing be neath tbe piazza waiting for a ohanoe to tutercept the burglar should he retreat that way. He failed to hear the fellow when he got on the piazza, in conse quence of his being barefooted. The neßro swung himself over the piazza railing and Dropped Oh the Policeman’* Head* Knocking AflVrtl V>4 fMliflg witfi him. l flp was qh his feet iu a seoond and so was Poliaeman Wall, but the fel low had the start and ran like a deer. Tbe policeman followed some distance and fired five or six shots, one of whioh, it is supposed, inflicted the most se rious wound, as it was afterwards found that a ball bad entered his back, near the spinal column, Lanecd“ t(irdi}gli''llie Iwng tjdfl jrtjtfe ttpQYe the' f'ftbt nip ple. Captain Falligant thinks that the uegro was wounded in the breast-when first fired at, whilst under the piano, aud the hole in the back is from anqtiier shot. It i? also believed that the wound in the knee was iuflicted by Captain Falligant, who deliberately h r ed the uegio. • *<•• “|rofe under tbe piaflq. ThP notwithstanding these wounds, whioh were very serious (as he bled profusely, tracks of blood being found through the pailQl. difi'.Sg room.,hall and ““ tue sireet), managed to escape. After his givep tp Captain F*lliga'[U and Judge Chisplm, m>th of whom were severely and painfully hurt, though not danger ously. The pelicefflep fptutaed tp the barracks and reported the affair to Ser geant Moran. A Cine.

Tbe officers at once arrest ed Joe Speed and eftrried him in a wag on to the barracks.

A Whale Family Bruially Massacred Near Ltfu, Ohis-Isl'Hfleadißf Farmer) Ills Sister and Her Daughter the Tlclims—The Governor Applied to For Assistance to Save the Murderers From the Mob. Loqax, Ohio, Jane 25.—A most terri ble tragedy ocourred six miles from Lo gan, Friday evening, on the farm of John Weldon. A neighbor, upon going to the honse on Saturday afternoon upon an errand, discover >d the dead body of Mise Hetty, a daughter of Sasan Mc- Clarg by her former husband, with its faoe downward, at the front gate. He immediately gave the alarm, and npon farther search they discovered the body of Mrs. McClnrg, the mother of Miss Hetty, in the rear end of the yard. Farther investigation discovered the dead body of John Weldon in a corn field, about 600 yards from the house. Weldon had three bullet holes in his throat and his bowels and one in his heart, and a terrible gash around the neck and head. Mrs. McGlurg, his housekeeper and sister, had her head severed from her body, and Miss Hetty had a gash across the top of her heao. The spectacle, as witnessed to day and last night by thousands of spectators, was simply hideous and terrible. The perpetrators of the crime are sup posed to be one William Terrel and Joseph King, boys of about nineteen years of age. aDd residents of that com munity. Last Bight Terrel, while here and in a state of intoxication, was ar rested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct and sent to jail. As soon as he was in a condition to have an examina tion, he plead earnestly with the officers to release him, saying that he would give them five dollars. The foul deed had not at that time been discovered. When it was, they held Terrel on suspi cion. King was arrested npon the ad vice of Terrel, who afterward made a confession. He stated that he and King were the parties, but he was not guilty as he had no hand iu it. He went mere ly upon the proposal of King to ste what be intended to do. King asked him to walk up to Weldon’s, and asked him it Weldon was not in good circumstances apd had plenty of money. He said, ‘*Yes.” They continued their walk until they came to Weldon’s corn field, where he was at work. With out any words whatever. King pulled out his revolver and shot him. Weldon started to make his rsi ape, when King followed, overtaking him and finishing him with a corncutter that was in the field on a stump. King said, “D—n yon, I'll finish you or you will have me hung.” He then went to the house and dispatched the women with an ax. King denies that he was there; says he can sustain an alibi by proof that he was hero in Logan at the time of the murder, which, from all evidence, oc curred about six o’clock Friday evening, as the supper table was ready in the kitohen. Not much stress is placed up on the statement of Terrel, as he seems to have been the leader, and probably the only one who perpetrated the crime. Great excitement prevails. Our streets are thronged with people, and fears are manifested that a party of Vigilants will be here to-night from that vicinity. The jail is guarded by tbe citizens. Pre liminary examination will be held to morrow at 9. a hi Meeting at Conspirators nt Washington to Disciidd lufunt Baptism. [From the Ohio State Journal.] Washington, June 13.—1 happen to know that Gaifield met Stanley Mat thews and Joe Medill here for the pur pose of discussing infaut baptism. It is well known, I trust, that General Gar field was formerly a Cawpbellite minis ter. He believed that the word baptizo or baplidzo should be translated to dip or plunge, and that infants have no right to be baptized at all. Now, every body knows that Joe Medill, who has studied this subject profoundly, and who is a philosopher, as well as a civil service reformer, holds that the word baptizo has no specific meaning as t > the mode or manner in which the water shall be used, and that it will do just as well to put the water on the mau as it will to put the man in the water. So, or even more so, of iufants. On the other baud, Stanley Matthews claims that baptism is not baptism except by sprinkling, and that it is a strictly in fant complaint, and that although ad ults do sometimes take it, just as grown men sometimes take the measles or the mumps, yet baptism properly belongs to the children of evangelical parents only. He is very earnest about this, apd in the heat of the argument he went so far as to tell Garfield that he was as bad a man as Nipodemus, who killed all the children in Bethlehem one night, be cause Garfield denied the right of in fants to be baptized. Of course, said Matthews, it is different with the chil dren of infidels and Democrats and the like—they don’t count; but to deny the right of baptism to Presbyterian or Methodist children is as bad as bull dozing. And Mr. Matthews could not help saying with great earnestness to Mr. Medill that any man with spftli Iflose notions about Vhf Up ttde ftf baptism as ftjr. hfedifi h'o|dg is UHle better than a phonographic outcast, I should like to give all the points of this inter esting discussion, but the conversation was rather private, aud I don’t like to commit a breach of confidence, unless I oan make somebody feel ba lly by doing so.
