Maude seemed to herself to be living through some beautiful fairy dream ; Henri was scarcely ever absent from her side, and Rose bavins too much lact to make a third in their walks and rides, it was as secluded and romantic as though they were •‘III Sicilia’s ever blooming shade.” But political crisis will not wail on iovers’ leisure, anil ere ibe honey moon was over, South Carolina had seceded from the Union, and called on all her sister States to follow her lead. Ii was with a changing cheek that Captain de Caroll read the announce ment one morning in the ‘‘Richmond Examiner.” “1 must delay no long er now !” he exclaimed, and laying his finger on the paragraph, placed the paper before his wife’s eyes. She only looked up into his face with an expression ot mute, be seeching anguish. “I must leave you to-day, my soul,” he said. “Oh Henri!” And her cold fin gers closed tightly over his. “You would not have your hus band a dishonored man, my own Maude ?” “Dishonored? never!” And all the spirit of the “old Dominion” flashed, in that instant, from her deep blue eyes. “I will help get you ready at once.” “Noble girl: “Here’s my Spartan wife,” whis pered Henri, drawing her closer to him, “I will go forth now to battle for my countiy’s rights, but when the war is ended, and I come home covered with glory, perhaps a gen eral, Mignon—, your father will then no longer refuse to receive me as his son-in-law.” Thus he caressed and encourag ed, while, with pale visage but un complaining lips, she packed his valise and performed other little of fices of love. The hour for departure came all too soon. “Keep up heart, dear love,” he murmured, while shower ing kisses on lip, cheek and brow, “It will not be for long; I shall re turn as soon as I have shaken off Un cle Sam’s shackles, and then my heart will be lighter. Au revoir my peri.” And with a final embrace, he sprang into the saddle and gal loped off in the direction of the near est station. She stood leaning on the little wicket gate, looking alter him; and her heart seemed to stand still when the sound of his horse’s hoofs were lost in the distance. “Oh, Heaven ! all the light will die out of my fife until he return,” she moaned, bury ing her face in her hands, and sink' ing on her knees on the ground, “Until he return !” A” said Rose, warmly. CHAPTER III. The Au gel of the Brigade. PULASKI HOUSE Savannah, Ga. WILTBERGER & CARROLL, Prop’. Child-bride, there is a lie upon thy soul! She returned to herTather’s house the day after her husband’s depar ture ; but neither by word or look did she betray to any one her alter' ed position; aud Colonel Arlington never dreamed that the blushing maiden who had left her home little more ihaua fortnight since, was now returned to it a wife. The girl ot seventeen was no longer a child, but a woman, capable of concealment; ready to do and to endure. e pr* * * * Three weeks passed, and there was no news of Captain de Caroll* Maude’s eyes grew hollower, and there was a false ring in her once joyous laugh. What she suffered, none could tell; she confided iu no one, but “God knows—and He alone— The utmost hell ot the deceitful heart.” Three months passed : and still no letter, no message, no tidings whatever ol the absent one. Maude’s internal anguish of suspense became, at limes, almost insupportable. Her health visibly declined, and her fa ther’s anxiety was awakened on her account. But still she must bear her burden alone. Thfe mask could not be laid aside. Concealment was more than ever essential, now that torturing doubts o! her husband’s fidelity began to creep into her brain. Col. Arlington’s words were con stantly ringing in her ear: “He is a stranger, a Frenchman ; and we know nothing of him further than his relationship to Mrs. Iluthven.” A man of her father’s years must cer' tainly be belter acquainted with men and the world than a totally inex perienced young girl like herself; and might ii not be that she had in deed “given the world for love?” Then she would reject the idea with indignant scorn, and bitterly re proach hersell for having harbored, for an instant, such unworthy sus- picions. But sometimes, when she was wandering aimlessly to and fro in the gallery, where hung the por traits of all her proud old ancestors, the thought of her being a forsaken bride, or deceived maiden, nearly maddened her. How they would curse her, “those haughty dead,” could they know what dishonor she had brought upon the name ! Mrs. Ruthveu was absent, having joined her husband in Richmond, and—strange though it may seem— her departure was a great relief to Maude. She had seen Rose but once since Captain de Caroll went away, and she had, on that occasion, ex pressed great surprise and dismay at his not writing; but could give no explanation of, or consolation for, the circumstance. Thus, Maude felt that it was better for her to take up her dear burden and bear it in secret. Beneath her fragile exteri or, lurked a prodigious spirit; and her youth, also, was a great advan tage. This, her firstdove, was fresh and strong ; and under circumstan- ces to which a woman of maturer years and experience might have succumbed, faith and hope sustained her. It must eventually be explained, she continually told herself, when the doubts assailed her mind ; and put all her trust in Time, the magi cian whose wand was expected to change the desolate mourning house of her heart into a place of joy. But it was weary, waiting. * * * * ■ -•>; * Two years passed and the events that marked their course must be briefly recapiti lated. It behooves me not to enter into the details of the war, for abler pens than mine have alread}’ depicted the desolation (hat swept over the laud, “the wreck ol reason, and the waste W life,” the ravaging of Southern homes and the complete ruin in which the whole Southern country was involved ; and I hare to deal only wiih the charac- ters in this story. Immediately up on the commencement of hostilities, Colonel Arlington volunteered, was placed in command of a regiment, and fell at Cheat Mountain. A short time after their bereave ment, Maude and hef little brother, Roland, (who was then just sixteen) were one night roused from slumber by a bright, lurid glare shining into their windows. Maude sprang fiom bed, and hurrying to her brother’s room, found that he, also, was up. They cfressqty themselves hastily, and while so doing, old Nellie, their nurse, ran stealthily up the back stair-case and came into Maude s room Oh, Missie,” she said, trembling all over, “You jis git yo tings loged- der, bofonyou, an’ come ’long wid me, you and Mass Roly. De Yan kees is on de plhM nqw, and dera black debbil ot nigger is set fire to barn and all tie fence. Make a heap o’ hurry chile!” And collecting a few articles of clothing together in a bundle, and taking Maude’s jewel box and purse, she went to Roland’s room. “Now, here, Mass Roly, she said, “you jis pit on my apron and shawl; nobody is goin to trouble ole ooman like as dey will young gentleman,” and without waiting for his assent, she arrayed him in the aforesaid garments; and thus dis guised, he, with his sister followed her cautiously down the hack stairs and out of the house. Circumstan ces seemed to favor their escape; there was no qaoon, and a large num ber of the negroes, carrying torches, were gathered in front of the house. Undiscovered they made their wav toward a secluded woodland path; and just as they were entering it, two horses ran past, with their manes flying wild, and evidently in a great state of terror. “It i3 Mabel and Rollo,” whisper ed Maude; and looking back, she saw lhal the stable was in flames. “The hoises would be of great service to ns,” said Roland, and he called softly to Rollo, who, recog nizing his master’s voice, turned round and came up to him; seem ing, by a remarkable sagacity, to comprehend their danger, be did not neigh, but suffered Roland to mount him. Mabel followed his example, and Maude, seizing the flowing mane, sprang lightly on her back. ‘Which route shall we take?” asked Roland. “To General Lee’s headquarters,” replied his sister; and they urged the horses lorward. It was hard riding, barebacked and with no bet' ter bridles than the halters; but a merciful Providence guided the steeds and sped them on their flight. They would have taken old Nellie with them, bui she preferred to re main, and“there was no time to be lost in persuading. They had not proceeded a mile when they heard the sound of distant shouting; and pausing for an instant, on a slight eminence which commanded a view of the grounds, they perceived that the dwelling house had been fired. Maude’s “heart grew hot within her” at the sight. The grand old pile, where generations fit Arling ton had lived, feasted and ruled, like the old baronial mouarebs of Feudal Times, was now one mass of rocking flames; and around it, in wild carnival, danced the dusky de mons who, but one week before, bad sworn eternal fidelity to the orphan brother and sister. With a sharp, suppressed ory of pain, Maude turn ed her head away, and urged Mabel rapidly forward. They rode all night, and early next morning came in sight of the Confederate camp at Valley Mountain. Roland threw himself from the horse, and tearing off his disguise, lilted his half-faint ing sister in his arms and placed her on her feet. They had made the best of their time, and both horses and riders were terribly jaded. Ma bel and Rollo were given in charge to a soldier, who respectfully offered bis services ; while another conduct ed them to the General’s tent. The pale, beautyful girl, dressed in deep mourning, with her golden hair dishevelled and her large eyes hollow from sorrow and unrest, would have inspired compassion ev en in a more rugged breast than that of the chivalrous Lee; and fears rose to the soldier’s eyes, as he ex tended his hand in welcome. Their situation was briefly explained, then Roland applied lor Admission into the army. “Willingly,” replied the General, “and I doubt not that the son of the gallant and lamented Colonel Ar lington will soon prove himself wor thy ol his father’s sword 1 .'” The youth flushed delightedly, as he bowed his acknowledgment of this gracious speech; then' Lee turned to Maude. “ And y tyu^pnadmja, what wifi yoU«UbTJ ami ’ibu (ssw* ! “What l am going to ask. Gener al,” she replied,, speaking in a low, steady voice, “Will doubtless Seam strange to you ;"but my brother is everything in the world to me. and I do not wish to part from him. My good horse and I can makeoursetVes useful in a thousand ways. ,1 might carry dispatches, and feel vhaf; 1 could render efficient service «s a spy ;—Oh General, let ine be with Roland The General looked grave. “Have you no relations with whom you might stay he asked. “I have an aunt id Richmond,” she replied, “but oh, sir, do not sep : arate me from my brother; we are all in all to .each other. Just try me for a month in camp, and if I am in the way at all, I promise to go to Richmond and stay there ; but only give me a trial!” “Are you aware, Miss Arlington, that you would encounter great dan gers, and endure many hardships ?” “I am prepared to brave all dan' ger and share all hardship,” she an swered resolutely; and it was final ly agreed upon that she should he appointed regimental courier, with the rank of lieuienant. The brother and sister shortly af terward, accompanied General Lee to the Kanawha region, whither he went to relieve Wise aud Floyd; and Roland, who, of course, entered as a private, was, in his first battle, promoted to the rank of sargearit. Maude, also, proved that her boast had not been a vain one ; for she be came an important adjunct to the ar my. On her beautilul Mabel, who was presented by the officers with a handsome side-saddle and belong ings, she trequently rode whole days at a time, carrying dispatches, and really played the part of spy in a most masterly and ingenious man ner, often going into the enemy’s lines, disguised, and gleaning valua ble scraps of information relative to his movements. Her iavorite dis guise was that of a little country girl, with tattered sun bonnet and bare feet, selling fruit; hut she some limes attired herself as a rustic lad, and in- both characters, was most successful in escaping suspicion. A portion of bei time was spent in Richmond, but she was a great deal in the camp. The sight of her, mounted on her elegant mare, and dressed in her sable habit, (for she continued to wear mourning all thro’ the war) with her golden hair and large spirituelte eyes, so beautiful and fearless, seemed to inspire the soldiers, who named her “the Angel of the Brigade,” and regarded her with a sentiment approaching deifi cation. And Maude, with her dark sor row locked in her heart, found in this active and adventurous life, the best safe-guard against corroding thoughts. An ordinary domestic existence, or the mournful routine of a hospital could never have afforded this stimuls to her brain and slav ed off the madness which would, un- doubtedly, otherwise, have obtained possession of it. And thus the years fled. (To be continued.) The Northern press is filled with the disgusting details of the trial of Laura Fair, who killed one Critten den, her paramour, in California some lime ago. The defence is mental aberration, and from a medical {joint of view it can ne longer be a matter of wonder that Mrs Fair killed Col onel Crittenden. For a person in the condition in which she is re; re' sented to have been when she com mitted the deed, murder or suicide was an apparently inevitable, alter' native. That she cbpse the former .Was a sort of constitutional accident. According to the testimony of Dr. Lyiord, she was at the time “ameme,” and had also “retrocedent gout,” “metatasis,” “dismenorrhea,” “cata- menicals” and “insomanis,” besides being subject to “idiosyncracies.” £ny person laboring under such a Complication of polysyllabic disord ers coiiid find relief in nothing short of murder, and it the jury does not acquit Mrs. Fair on this testimony it will be because they are more in telligent than most juries. Dt. Lyford is said to be only thirty two years of ago, but he seems V6 be a young man of remarkable promise. Charleston Courier. TESTING HE3 LOVE. A man named Shuman, residing in South Baltimore, has of late enter tained an idea that his wife does not love him with that ardor which should characterize a wife for her husband, and in order to test her affection for him he on Wednesday penned a note to her, in which he stated that he had insured his life for $2,000, and the she could collect the insurance when be ceased to live, which event would transpire ere she read the note, as he intended to drow himself in the Spring Gard ens at Ferry Bar bridge. The letter was handed to a small boy, with the request that he delh'er it into the hands ol Mrs. Shuman, but the boy mistaking the directions given him, left the note at the house of a friend of Mrs. S. The friend read the note, and naturally supposing that suicide was premeditated by Shuman, she called Policeman Bunting and im parted to him her suspicions. The policeman instantly started for Ferry Bar, and when near that structure discovered Shuman walking leisure ly toward the water. The officer called to Shuman to halt for a moment, but instead of complying with the request he ran upon the bridge, where he calmly a- waited the coming ol the officer, who, without entering into a conversation, conducted Shuman to the station house, and on the way there the sup posed would'be-suicide and his pre server were followed by a large crowd of adults and children who had heard of the contents of the let ter, and which had been promulga ted by the lady who had received it. Shuman, after being taken to the station house, explained that he had noentention ofdrowninghimself, but that he had sent the note to his wife for the purpose of ascertaining how she wouid be affected by the news. Captam Delanty therefore ordered his release. After quilting the station house Shuman returned to his home expecting to find his wife in hysterics but was disappointed. On the con trary, she was as composed as a person could be, and appeared sur prised that her husband had not drowned himselfas he had promised to do. Baltimore Gazette. Aft Asylum for Inebriates.—A reso- lqtipn parsed the Georgia Medical Association, at its late meeting to establish an asylum for inebriates. It was suggested that perhaps the State House at Milledgeville might fc grant'd for the purpose. The move it a good one. Drs J. Holmes, E. J., Kirksey and G. F. Cooper yvere ,appointed a committee on the subject. The New York Sun disrepectfnlly speaks of 4 he suff rage ladies as “per sons who want the* ballot* but can’t chew tobacco. ’ ,t ' 1 m When Bismarck was Prussian Embassador in Paris Jules Favre was his lawyer. A Marylander has one hundred and forty thousand peach trees in blossom this spring. The late Catholic fair, at Savan nah, under the auspices of the Sisters of Mercy, realized $1300. There were in 1775 fifty post- offices in the United States. There are now twenty thousand. A California paper, in describing a row among Chinamen, says that they “used iron bars, and other sedatives, freely.” A Irishman was challenged to fight a duel, but declined on a plea that he did not wish to leave his mother an orphan. Two Chicago editors have been calling each other lots of thin°Sj and now each ef them has his rheals brought to him in the sanctum, for fear if they go out to lunch they may eat each other. A young lady in Bangor, Maine, weighs a trifle mlder one hundred and eighty pounds, but her friends have not lost all hnpe in her, for she is only twelve years old, and, accord ingly, has plenty of lime yet to grow in. A young lady with a very pretty foot but rather large ankle, went in to a Broadway shoe store to be measured. The admiring clerk, who is of Gallic extraction, compliment ed her in the following queer way: “Madame, you have one booliful foot, but ze leg commence too im mediately.” It is well known that Mij|s Nilsson has indorsed several different piano fortes, each being the best, and we now have her opinion upon articles of food.

They were trying a man in Dakota the other day for murder, but ibe citizens regarding the proceedings as unnecessarily tedious, in view of the fact that the prisoner mqrg tban confessed his guilt* brought tbeirial to a sudden conclusion by taking the man out and hanging him. They had him strung up once, when 'the rope broke, and while Judge lejriich was rigging.upnnother the condem ned wretch was allowed to qnjoy himself by placidly smoking a pipe.
