We were using oue of your Her ring’s Patent Champion Safes, made sixteen years ago. It contained Seven Hundred Dol lars in money, our books and valuable papers. We were unable to get the safe open until eighteen hours after the fire. We found the contents in excellent condition; the only injury was the binding of the books, drawn by the steam. This test of the tire proof quality of your safes was a severe one, as all can testify who saw the tile. The arnuunt of combusti ble materials of the building itself, added to the cotton and other goods stored in it, made as hot a tire as often occurs. Respectfully’" voors; BELL &. HULL. W. M.

Sue seemed to shrink from Lite sight of her kind; ate barely enough to support life; and, any umc of the clay, might have been seen, as she now was, with her open bible upon Iter knee, and her mourn ful eyes fixed upon the page. The scnlry’s monotonous tread outside her door ceased for an in stant, and there was a sound of sev- several voices. “I have really a curiosity to see this lady-spy,” said one. “You shall he gratified, then, Captain,” replied anolher; and without farther inti mation, the door of her cell was opened and two men entered. One was the prison superintendent, and the other—it needed not a second glance, or the governor’s formal in- troduction of “Captain de Caroll,” to convince her was the author of her bitterest woes. At lire sight ot him, all her torpid vitality seemed to revive; the paiid cheek grew crimson, and the hollow eyes flashed. Rising to her feet, and fixing her gaze lull upon him; in a low, dis tinct voice, she said, “Can il be pos sible that you arc so entirely devoid of all human feeling, as to come here ? And do you not fear that the very walls which enclose your out raged wif —for such I am, in the sight of God and by the laws of man,—may fall and crush you ?° “Upon my word, Madam,” said the visitor, with well-feigned surprise, “You do me too much honor. Until this morning, I never had the pleas ure of seeing you.” Then turning to the Governor, who was sharply regarding him, “This poor lady is undoubtedly mad, Mr. W.,” he said, and 1 think tha,. I had best not rc^ main here any longer." The prisoner essayed to speak again, hut was prevented by some thing hot and full which rose in her throat, and placing her handkerchief 1 to her lips, it was presently salura ted with blood. She would have fallen to the floor, had not Mr- w. taiacd her in his arms, and placing her upon the bed summoned a female attendant, in whose charge he lelt her, while he and his companion quilted the room In a few minutes, the prison physi cian came in, examined the case, in ! a business-like sort of way, and ad ministered an anodyne, which, hap pily for her, took immediate effect; and she fell into a quiet sleep. It was late in the evening when she awoke, and heard voices in the adjoining room. They were raised, evidently iu warm discussion, and should distinguish the words. “It is madness, your holding out so persistently,” said one “Listen to my entreaties, and take the oath ; you will die if you remain here much longer.” “Mery possibly,” relumed a low, weary voice, which it affected Maude strangely to hear; “but I have no alternative.” “Yes, you have—the dash of a pen—just your signature, and you are free—free to enjoy yourself, to go to Europe, or where y«<u please ; lor \ou still have your share of our Canada property.” “I would choose death rather than (77,* following Story, written by a gifted P' ,r j ur - V ” » he "Cary tones Southern writer, is entered as a competitor for the aioo.oo prize offered by Messrs.

Flame-red in the tender blue glooming, The summer moon rose from the sea; Soft waves on the pebbles were foaming, Soft wind from the west fluttered free. The hour was divinely romantic With evening’s most exquisite spell, Aud far away loomed llio gigantic Multitudinous-windowed hotel. Since sunset we two had been strolling. Each pleased with tho nearness of each; Attuned to the waves’ pearly rolling Was all our smooth murmurous speech. Faint echoes of waltzes eutracing Came borne from the ball-room's hot glare But we found it delight more than dancing To flirt iu the fresh dewy air. Her toilet,neat tasteful, capricious, Had charms that escaped not my note, Aud chiefly one charm—a delicious Great peach-colored rose at her throat. He style, like her dress, lacked the stigma Of any thing prudish or slow, And her hair was a go'den enigma Of ringlet aud braid aud rouleau. Now I, who am full ninc-and-twe'iity, Have reached that void epoch in life Which claims, spite of health, peace and plenty, The crowning content of a wife. And somehow just theu, waxing stronger, A voice in my bosom arose; “Don’t stupidly beat any longer Round Robin Hood's barn, hut propose.’’ The fondest of language was waiting At uttermost tip of my tongue; A final farewel to debating My mood had impulsively flung, I glanced at her costume Parisian. Her bright eyes, her glimmering head. When, vague as the voice of a vision, It seemed that a secoud voice said: “One moment consider, ere wildly Yon rush to your doom, reckless man, Who purpose in married joy wildly To finish your day’s fated span. The girl at your elbow is clever, Fair charming as any one knows; But the girl at your elbows was never Designed for domestic repose. “She looks with serene expectation On all that your love will confer, Which means, at the least calculation, Unspeakable comforts to her.

His death to convivial bliss. 0 rash man, look here on this picture (As Ilamlet remarks) and on this!” The singnlar voice being ended.

It would be impossible to im agine any one more desolate than the inmate of this cell.

Lee is on his last legs now, ami eve rything must soon be over with his army; then you will be paroled, but iu the mean time, here you ate, wastingaway lonoihing. You haven’t lelt this room for a whole mouth, they tell me, and as long as you re fuse to lake the oath, 1 am power less to aid you- I must set out to morrow to rejoin my command, but I hate the thought of leaving you, Henry.” “You have done worse things to me than that,” said the other. “Have il as you will, hut I feel a natural solicitude concerning your health. Do you ever mean to take exercise again ?” “I shall try and get into the ‘play ground’ to-morrow.” “That is right. And now, good bye ; my time is up. I hope, when we meet again, to find you a wiser man.” “And I trust to find you a bette , Good-bye.” The key grated in the door, and there was a sound of footsteps re treating down the passage. But from that moment, Maude was pos sessed with an intense desire to dis cover who her next door neighbor was. The next day, on account of her health, they suffered her door to re main open until evening, in order that she might have the benefit of what air was stirring in the passage ; and when the hour came for the prisoners to take exercise, she placed her chair where she could command a view of all who passed, and anx iously listened until she heard the door ol the next cell grate on its hinges, and iootsteps approaching her own. Eagerly she bent her head forward and closely scanned all the passers-by. Several Confederate of ficers passed together ; but the be holder started convulsively, and her whole frame was thrilled as by an electric shock, when her eyes fell upon one of them, who moved with a feeble, tottering gait. Good God! What jugglery was this? Had she, indeed, gone mad, or was she dream ing? Had she not seen him but twenty-four hours since in Federal uniform? Her brain reeled, and she was compelled to ihrovv herself upon the bed ; but now ber mind was en tirely occupied with the one thought of establishing communication be tween hers and the adjoining celL For several days she was loo ill to leave her bed ; but as soon as she was able to crawl, she instituted a diligent search along the wall of sep t ration for some aperture to ad mit the passage of a note. Finding none, she resolved to bore, making use ol a knife which had been left, by accident upon her ta ble : and the next afternoon found her cautiously inserting hurriedly into the hole, a smell slip of paper, upon which site had written, “For the love of Heaven, w ho are vou ?” The neighboring prisoner, warned, no doubt, by the scraping sound, was evidently on the look-out; for the missive instantly disappeared, and in a few minutes, the following answer was returned, through the same media, “My name is Henri Louis de Ca roll. I was late an officer in John son’s army, and was taken prisoner six months back ; was sent, at first, to Fo:t Delaware, but two months since was removed to this place. Who are you ?” Trembling all over, she hastily wrote, in reply, “I am Maude de Caroll, nee Ar lington.” But scarcely had he re- o*’ived this second communical’on, when there arose a great commotion and hubbub in the lower part of the building. Both started away from their newly established post office; and presently fell upon their ears, uttered in loud, ringing tones, these words: “Lee has surrendered, the war is over.” In the next hour il was authenticated, and all the pris oners knew that General Lee, with the whole Southern army, had sur rendered to Grant, at Appomattox Court House. The announcement was received by some with groans and tears, but by others with sighs of relief; for now, they were told, they should be paroled and sent to to their homes. It had grown quite dark, and poor Maude was standing in the centre of her room, w :th her hands pressed upon her brow, trying to collect her bewildered ideas, when she was aroused by the sound of the door- key turning in the lock.. A light glimmered into the apartment; and in the next instant, she was clasped in the arms of her long lost husband. “Beloved, beloved,” he murmur ed, pressing her again and again to bis full heart, “God has aniwered my prayers at last, and restored you to me. But oh, how changed, my soul, trom the fresh, blooming girl I took leave of at Elsinore! I dare not ask through what suffering my bird of beauty lias passed. She must try and forget it now.” She lay with her head upon his breast, and wept; it was the fim time in years, and the tears were a blissful relief. “Tell me all about yourself,” she murmured, “and who and what is that dreadful double, in Federal blue, that I have twice been tortured by the sight of “You must have seen my brother Louis, my poor darling !” And his tone of tender compassion seemed to comprehend all the anguish that she had endured. Then holding her closer to bis heart, with his face pressed against hers to assure her that he was no phantom, but a liv ing, loving reality, she heard the following tale: Louis Henri de Caroll, and Henri de Caroll were twin brothers, the sons of a wealthy Louisiana planter; and the resemblance between them was more perfect than in most simi lar cases—tbeir gestures, voices and carriage being so exactly alike as to frequently puzzle even their parents. Both were educated at West Point; and destined for the military ser vice; but, upon the outbreak ot po litical difficulties, took.diBerent sides. Henri, as we have seen, went to Washington to resign his commis sion : he was there met by his broth er, who used every inducement to turn him from his purpose ; but find ing him inflexible, reported to a per sonage, with whom he knew it would have its weight, what his brother had unguardedly disclosed to hitns that Henri was in possession ot some facts which Geneial Scott did not desire should get out. The Gov ernment was then using stringent measures; and Henri was arrested and thrown into prison, where he remained for nearly a year, when, managing to effect his escape, he joined the army of the West. As soon as he could obtain a fur lough, he repaired to Virginia in search of his bride, but vaiti were his efforts. At the risk of his life, and under cover of the night, he went to her old home, and what was ‘ ‘ 1 ~~ *>ouse burned to the ground and the place in posses sion of the Federals. He was told by the negroes, who believed what they asserted, that she, with her brother, had perished in the flames ; bis fruitless search seemed to con firm the agonizing intelligence ; and he returned to his command, a reck less, desperate man. He was soon after severely wounded and laid up in hospital; the rest of his history was a series of battles and seiges, which he dwelt lightly upon, and he was promoted to the rank of Major, just previous to, his capture. After his removal to Washington, he was visited by his brother, who again urged him to turn traitor lo his cause. Louis was dissipated and unprincipled, but he vet retain ed some affection for his twin broth er, and really believed that he acted a friendly part in trying to induce him lo perjure himself. He had taken Henri’s horse, Iscara, into the service with him, had treate 1 him tenderly for his master’s sake, and seemed sincerely distressed ai his loss. The last interview between the brothers was that which Maude had overheard. Henri’s feelings on discovering Maude’s proximity to himself, bars description; and as soon as possible he obtained the Gover nor’s permission to come into her cell, explaining their mutual relations as briefly as possible to Mr. W. Then bending his ear close to her lips, he hearkened to her heari-rendii •> t .le; which she bad scarce concluded, when the turnkey came in to sepa rate them. The next morning, Hen ri was allowed to repeat his vist, and two days later, they were discharg ed from prison. Oil the day of their release, Henri approached his wile with a newspaper in his hand, and placing bis finger on the list of the killed in a skirmish (one of the last of the war) near Farmville. Virginia, she read the name of Louis Henri de Caroll. Louis de Caroll’s death placed his brother in possession of a hand some property in Canada, beyond the reach ol confiscation ; and after •pending a abort time in New York, Henri and his wife set sail for Eu rope lo recruit their shattered health and nerves amid the cool shades ot “Merrie England.” YIN18.
