You have the Cunningham Mills, the Atlanta, Etowa, Le

ever thought that every barrel of Flour brought from the
North deprives the South of a quantity of food for those of
moderate means, who can now buy Flour from me at $4.00
per barrel, and that you also contribute to increase the
price of provisions for Negroes and Stock, by giving your
patronage to Foreign rather than Home Mills,

LOVE’S MARTYRDOM.

CHAPTER VI.
“ Thou art gone,
Gone in thine innocence, meek suffering one.
Like stars that struggle through the clouds ot night.
Thine ej es one moment caught a glorious light.
Then passed away. Be Heaven as kind to me,
I ask no more than this—to die like thee 1”
It was when spring was deepening into the sum
mer-time ; and that gorgeous season seemed to have
hastened onward, even more than is usual in this
sunny southern land. The rich glow of the sun
set had just mantled with ils crimson blush, the
waving foliage that crept down to the water’s edge,
and its deep red rays quivered over the mimic
waves of the bay as they rolled carelessly on to
wards the shore. The joyous song melted along
the waters as some light skiff sported over its
broad surface, aud keeping time with the dash of
his shining oars, the heart of the negro boatman
beat lightly, as he neared his lowly home, nestled
in the shady “quarter” of the “old plantation.”
A breath of fragrance came wafting up from the
dark orange-grove, and the whole atmosphere grew
rich and dewy—and fraught with that mystical re
pose whicli summons hopes to the happy, and
brings back long hidden memories to bosoms that
are sad. In the “ West Room,” at Bellevue, and
just in front of ?, window which opens out upon
the upper gallery, stood the conch of Willy Ver
non . The poor little suffering idiot-boy was dying.
I thought us 1 stood holding his thin white hand,
and gazing away into the sunset, with its gorgeous
panorama of golden light and purple shade, that
kindly angels were preparing the way for that in
nocent and suffering spirit, and that perhaps ere
the sun-wrought gates of day were closed, they
would c»me to bear it through into the glories of
an eternal day beyond. And I was not deceived.
I felt the pale slender fingers close upon own feebly,
and bending over the boy perceived in his eye, a
gleam of intelligence almost unearthly in its "blue
brilliancy. 1 kissed his white cheek and he whis
pered—
“bister!” *
Serena was by his side instantly, aud drooping
over him. An angel smile lit up the faded features
of the young invalid, as with a voice, the clear,
intoiiutlvmr* of nvKicK V eVuxll never forget, SO
full were of the music of a better world, he
said distinctly:
“Sister, lam going to leave you—l am going to
dream away into the beautiful country—lay me to
sleep down und r tho old elm-shadow, where I
used to learn aboirt it,from my spring-time Coritme.
Tell her I will seek one like it where I am going,
and when she comes, 1 will be all ready to play
again.” He laid his wasted fingers as lie spoke
upon the little volume of “ Paul ct Virginie,”
which be seemed to believe he would carry with
him into the “beautiful country,” to which he
was fast hastening. I had laid it upon his pillow
in the morning, and it was the first thing which
he had noticed since the fatal interview which prov
ed his death-wound.
It was evident that he imagined himself again
at the old homestead, for after a slight pause he
continued audibly.
“If my bird-Corinne would come I think I should
not dream to-day dear ’Rena—she would sing and
I should keep awake. When she was here I waked
up from a cold, dark dream, and I thought this
was the bright land of which she told me ; for she
taught me how the wind whispered to the blos
soms, and bade me listen when the merry sun
shine laughed as it chased the shadows away over
tho green hill-side, or the lark went up to learn
his music fx - om the angels that were hiding in the
crimson clouds. But she said, that where my mo
ther lives it is more beautiful still, and I must
dream again. Good-bye, dear ’Rena, kiss me for
I cannot see you now, it is coming night very
fast, and I shall dream in mamma’s bosom. —
“Good night,” he continued very faintly, as Sere
na kissed him through her streaming tears, “good
night my sister, you’ll dream soon too —you and
sweet spring-time Corinne 1”
He appeared in truth only to be sinking into a
soft and child-like repose, the breath came faintly
—the broad white eyelids sank slowly down like
snow-flakes over the fading vision, and we thought
the gentle soul had passed. Suddenly a slight
current of air stirred the heavy foliage of an Ivy vine
which clustered around one of the columns of the
gallery with a light murmur. The eyes of the boy
opened widely for a moment.
“It is the nestle of the old Bible leaves—they
are gdlug to prayers now,” he said very softly ;
then folding his delicate white fingers over his
breast, mannered the beginning of the beautiful
evening service, as he was wont at the old home
stead.
“Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be
thy name, thy kingdom come —thy will be done,
on eaith—as it is—in heaven,” —the last faint
sweet murmur died upon that word, the snowy
eyelids closed as softly as its cadence, and poor
Willy Vernon, “dreamed”—to wake no more.
We buried tho young stranger in our family
graveyard, and from the long upper gallery, you
may see the little white monument that rises to
his memory gleaming through the foliage of the
weeping willow, and the deep green of the sha
dowy cypress trees.
I was somewhat surprised to note how calmly
Serena bore the death of her twin-brother. She
was so tranquil, so stony calm, that I almost feared
her. I had that vague sensation of something un
natural, which comes over us, when we hear a
persons moaning in their slumber, or 'see them
walking in a dream. We sat together one evening
in my chamber, and she addressed me abruptly
or as though we had previously been conversing
on the subject.
“It is best as it is Louise,” she said; “poor
little Willy is with mamma now, and he is liap
py ; —would that I were there also. It was so
much better that brother should leave me first,
than that I should have left him. God is good to ns
and our separation will not be for long; my dark
day is closing; its last twilight deepens, and it will
soon be night; oh that the night of rest were
come!”
JShe was silent for some moments after this un
wonted exhibition of feeling, turning over the
large white petals of a magnolia blossom, in her
whiter fingers—suddenly she gathered them all
back into their chalice form, and pressing them
tightly iirher hands, looked up in my lace, and
with a cold smile said abruptly :
“ I am going to be married,' Louise !”
1 was shocked and startled by the tone in which
these words were uttered, and still more ho by my
friend’s appearance. For an instant her lips grew
livid, her eye glazed, aud falling forward she
caught tho arm of my chair to prevent herself from
reeling to the floor. It was but a moment—re
covering herself almost instantaneously, she
laughed—oh ! how melancholy was that attempt
at gaety —and said :
,V‘ I am such a weak creauture, Louise, you must
not think anything of this, I am not quite well yet
you know.”
She paused a few minutes and then as if divin
ing that I was unwilling to renew the subject, she
went on herself, calmly—
“ Yes, Louise, my dear, on next Friday morn
ing, I am to become the bride of Frederick Aus
tin.”
“So soon !” 1 exclaimed, “ and married on a
Friday!”—a moment alter, and I was ashamed of
this betrayal of a vulgar superstition, and resumed,
“ Why such haste, my dearest ’Rena 2 surely it
were better to postpone your wedding un ;il—until”
—1 could not say the res r , and she firished the
sentence for me.'
“ Until I have laid aside this mourning for poor
Willy, you would say, but that does n)t matter;
oh ! Lulu, 1 shall never lay aside mourning until
it be replaced by a long white bridal-robe ; and I
shall be the bride of 1/eath.”
1 looked at her sorrowfully, but I could not
speak. She resumed—
“ Mr. Austin will not return from New Orleans
until Thursday night, and ho will leave again for
his residence in Galveston, on Friday morning—l
will accompany him.”
“So soon—so unexpectedly to leave us, dear
Serena,” was all that 1 urged in reply.
Os all the numerous sm“'° of my friend, I liked
T . * tin the leas auGNlONtjte of my reasoning

lust received and for sale at ‘ ea ,y gTutle
mlu^j?JrT^s ri-- Sim *L ka W 3 impressed
me unfavorably. I selfish,
enough to dislike him because he was about to
ry Serena away from us, and to reason myseltlu
to the belief that it would be best that- for my
friend; my husband was of this opinion, and par
tially won me to it also. And yet perhaps no poor
creature ever awoke with a more oppressed heart,
than I on that dim, gray Friday morning—Serena’s
bridal day.
They were to be married, breakfast with us, and
set off immediately. I had remained in Serena’s
chamber, until after midnight, and although we
bad spent much of the time in talking over old
scenes at school, she ma ;c no allusion to her cous
in Normon. I hoped she hud been able to replace
the affection he had inspired, by another aud hap
pier love, and I did not recall his name. In the
morning I rose very early in order to be certain
that all my arrangements -were completed, and
feeling much oppressed, stepped out upon tne
lawn, to gather a bridal boquet for my Iriend. n
turning back to the house, I chanced to glance up
to her window —she was seated there exactly i
had left her, the night previous, and was m the act
of drawing down the heavy curtain, as it to s
out the smile of the earlv day. Again my heart
misgave me, and I trerubled, I know not 'why
could It be possible that during the night she had
not slept I It was but just dawn, and the long
swelling notes of tlie slowly winded horn, cal ih?
the “hands” from the “quarter,” to their daily la
bor, sounded as I again entered the house, r cr
imps it was because that 1 rearly heard that early
groves and gardens like that vague mor
ning remiiUur, but it appeared to me to wail away
aching loneliness which steals upon the spirit
when the beautiful depart. To banish thoughts I
busied myself with my preparations, and in an
hour went up to Benia’s chamber. She was al
ready arrayed in her black traveling habit; her
mantle of sable velvet with her hat and veil lay on
the dressing table. . „
“You see I am becoming remarkable energetic,
she said, as 1 kissed her good morning.
It seemed little less than an absurdity to speak
of energy in connection with that white-rose cheek
and fragile form, but 1 congratulated her upon
her spirits, and we chatted pleasantly for halt an
hour. A rush of wheels, and the reiterated vo
ciferation of the grooms, as they strove to calm
their spirited horses, announced the arrival of the
bridal cortege. The only guests present at those
strange nuptials were the De Lordillicre, and with
them came the bridegroom, and a Protestant cler
gyman, who, in difference to the religious opinions
of Serena, had been selected to perform the cere
mony. In a few minutes after their reception by
us, Mr. Austin announced to my husband that
they only awaited the pleasure ot the bride, and I
went up stairs to bring her. The door of her
chamber stood ajar, just as I had left it in passing
out hastily, and I heard within a low murmur. 1
paused in the doorway—Serena, with her face
turned from me stood in the centre ot the apart
ment, as though she had been pacing the floor,
and stopped suddenly. Her white slender ringero
were wrung together, and she struck them \ io
ieutly against her forehead, exclaiming in a low
husky voice.
“Oh ! God—Montaldou, where art thou . then
sinking down in a kneeling posture, buned her
face in her hands. For a few moments her whole
frame shook as with a storm of agony, then clasp
ing her snowy hands together convulsively, she
prayed—oh ! holy Mother of Godthat it should
ever be the lot of woman thus to pray I 1 with
drew for some minutes into a large window which
opened upon the gallery, and when 1 again entered
her apartment, she came forward to meet me, with
her hat in her hand.
“They are come ?” she said half-iuqaiiingly,
“ well, 1 am ready, dear Lulu.”
I pressed her in my arms, quite overcome, and
she comforted me with caresses and sweet words
—she whom 1 knew stood so much in need of con
solation.
Mr. Austin and my husoand awaited us at the
bottom of the staircase; Serena bade them good
morning as calmly and cheerfully as though they
had come to dine, but the bridegroom was visibly
agitated. His hand trembled as he drew her arm
within his own, and as they passed along before us
through the long hall to the drawing-room, he
half-paused, and laying his hand upon her cheek
turned her face full towards him —iiis g:ance, for
he did not speak, must have been a tender reproach
for her paleness, for the young bride smiled, and
said deprecatingly:
“ But I am very well, Frederick.”
“Austin will be to her a noble husband,” re
marked George as he led me alter them.
“ Lovers and husbands are not always exactly
the same,” I was just about to reply, but I check
ed the unworthy answer ere it trembled to my lips,
for wdiy should 1 make such a reply to the husband,
who ever since our marriage had been more than
both to me ?
During the ceremony Serena’s face was almost
ghostly in its exceeding pallor, but she madj3 the
responses in a low, clear tone, and when all was
over, and we gathered round her to offer our con
gratulations, she smiled as sweetly, as tranquilly
as usual. They left immediately after the dejtum
in a splendid equippage, purchased by the bnde- - ||
froom expressly for this occassion, and the Do
lordillieres left also. Madame was much affected, w
tnere was a dewy shadow iu her large slow-moving
eyes which reminded me strikingly of Codime —
and the little girls wept almost as freely at Serena’s
bridal, as they had at Willy’s burial. As 1 folded
the lovely bride closely to my heart, ere she was
lifted into her magnificent carriage, she took from
her bridal boquet a beautiful, drooping, and deli- i
cately pale tea-rose, and placed it in my hand,
said:
“ Send it for me to , lay it on poor brother's
grave, Louise!” and bursting into a passion of
tears, she gave her hand hastily to her husband
and entered the carriage. 5 I
When they had all gone, and even the last echo
of that receding rush of wheels had died away
in the distance, I threw myself upon the bosom
of my husband and wept like a very child.
“ Boor little wife !” said he, gently smoothing
down my hair, “ try to laugh some, my baby !”
and I did smile again, there was no help for it then,
you know.
