Tlie Bridal B lue Cup.
“ I‘letlge with wine—pledge with
write,” cried the young and thoughtless
Harvey Hood ; •• pledge With wine,”
ran through the brilliant crowd. The
beautiful bride grew pale—the decisive
hour bad come. She pressed her white
hands together, and the leaves of the
bridal wreath trembled on her brow ;
her heart beat wilder,
“Yes, Marion, lay aside vour scru
ples for this once,” said the judge, in a
low lone, going towards his daughter,
“the company expect it. Do not in
fringe upon the rules of etiquette ; in
your own home do as you please, but
in mine, fortius once, please ir.e.
Every eye was turned towards the
bridal pair. Marion’s principles were
well known. Henry had been a eon
vivialist, but of late his fiiends noted
the change in his manners, the differ
ence in his habits; and to-night they
watched him to see, as they sneering
ly said, if he was tied down to a wo
man’s opinion so soon. Pouring a
brimming beaker, they held it with
tempting smiles towards Marion. She
was si ill very pale, though more com
posed, and her hand shook not as she
gently accepted the crystal tempter and
raised it to her lips. But scarcely had
she done so, when every hand was
arrested by her piercing exclamation,
“Oh, how terrible !”
“VVhat is it?” cried one and all,
thronging together, for she had slowly
carried the gloss at arm's length, and
was fixedly regarding it as though it
were some hideous object.
“Wait,” she answered, while an in
spired light shone from her dark eyes,
“wait, and I will tell you. I see,” she
added slowly, pointing one jeweled
finger at the sparkling liquid, “a sight
that beggars all description ; and yet
listen! I will paint it for you if I can.
U is a lonely spot, tall mountains
crowned with verdure rise in awful
sublimity around ; a river runs through,
and bright flowers grow to the water’s
edge. There is a thick warm mist that
the sun seeks vainly to pierce, i’rees,
lofty and beautiful, wave to the airy
motion of birds ; but there a group of
Indians gathered ; they flit to and fro
with something like sorrow upon their
brows. And in their midst lies a man
ly form—but his cheeks, fiow deathly;
his eyes wild with the fire of fever. —-
One friend stands beside—nay, I
should say kneels, for see, lie is pillow
ing that poor head upon his breast.—
Genius in ruins—oh! the high, holy
looking brow, why should death mark
it. and he so young? Look how he
throws back the damp curl ! see him
clasp his hands! hear his thrilling
shrieks for life ! mark how he clutches
at the form of his companion, implor
ing to be saved. Oh ! hear him call
piteously his father’s name—see him
twine his fingers together as lie shrieks
for his sister—his only sister—the twin
of his soul ! weeping for him in his dis
tant native land. See! she exclaimed,
while the bridal party shrank back, the
untasted wine trembling ir. their falter
ing grasp, and the judge fell overpow
ered upon his seat —“see, his arms are
lifted up to heaven ; he prays, how
wildly, for mercy ; hot fever rushes
through his veins. The friend beside
him is weeping awe-stricken ; the dark
men move silently away, and leave
the living and the dying together.”
There was a hush in the princely
parlor, broken only by what sepmed a
smothered sob from some manly bo
som. The bride stood upright, with
quivering lips and tears stealing to the
outward edge of her lashes. Her beau
tiful arm had lost its tension, and the
glass, with its little troubled red waves
came slowly toward the range of her
vision. She spoke again ; every lip
was mute. Her voice was low, faint,
yet awfully distinct; she still fixed
her sorrowful glance upon the wine
cup;
“ It is evening now ; the great white
moon is coining up, and his beams lay
gently on his forehead. He moves
not ; his eyes are set in f heir sockets —
dim are their piercing glances—in vain
his friends whispered the name of the
father and sister —death is there. —
Death, and no soft hand, and no gentle
voice to bless and soothe him. His
head sinks back—he is dead !”
A groan through the assembly, so
vivid was the dsecription, so unearthly
her look, so inspired her manner, that
what she described seemed actually to
havelaken place then and there. They
noticed, also, that the bridegroom hid
his face in his hands, and was weeping.
“ Dead !” she repeated again, her
lips quivering faster and faster, and her
voice more and more broken, “ and
there they scooped him a grave, and
there, without a shroud, they lay him
down in that damp reeking earth. The
only son of a proud father—the only
idoiized brother of a fond sister. And
he sleeps to-day in that distant country
with no stone to mark the spot. There
he lies —my father's son—my own
twin brother !—a victim to this deadly
poison. Father, ” she exclaimed, turn
ing suddenly, while the tears rained
down her beautiful cheeks, *• lather,
shall I drink it now ?”
The form of the old judge was con
vulsed with agony. He raised not his
head, but in a smothered voice he fal
tered :
“ No, no, my child, in God's name.,
no!”
She lilted the glittering goblet and
letting it suddenly fall oil the floor, it
was dashed into a thousand pieces.—
Many a tearful eye watched her move
ments, and instauianeouly every wine
glass was transferred to the marble ta
ble, on which it had been prepared. —
Then, she turned to the company, say
ing, “Let no friend who loves me, tempt
me to peril my soul for wine. Not
firmer are the everlasting hills than my
resolve, God helping me, never to touch
or taste that terrible poison. And to
whom I give my hand—who watched
over my brother’s dying form in that
last solemn hour, and buried the dead
wanderer there by the river in that land
of gold, will. I trust, sustain me i.t that
resolve. Will you not, my husband ?”
His glistening eyes, his sad, sweet
smile was her answer. The judge left
the room, and when in an hour after
he relumed, and with a more subdued
manner took part in the entertainment
of the bridal guests, no one could lail
to read that he, too, had determined to
banish the enemy at once and forever
from his princely home. Those who
were present at that wedding ct n never
forget the impressions so solemnly
made—many from- that hour foreswore
the social glass.
A GHOST STOPY.
AND WHAT CAME OF IT.
V
Emetine B—, who does not live three
arrow-flights from Chouteau avenue,
had a sweatheart, as most Emetines do,
whether they live near avenues or al
leys. The courtship had been sweet
and harmonious. Paul R was a
handsome fellow, brave for his love,
and tender and true. ’Twere long to
tell of the late trystings down by the
garden gate ; of the stray kisses blown
soft and caressingly across lattice bars;
of the low m-unaurings that fascinate,
and the mysterious confidences that
allure. They were engaged. Paul
haunted Jaccard’s like a shadow until
he found a ring suited to him, and
which would typify the successful ter
mination of his suit. Emeline wore it
in a coquettish way, and flashed its
brilliancy in the despairing eyes of
those other giris who had no Pauls and
no promises of marriage. Paul was
happy, but whether as a big sunflower
or not is no business of ours, who
intend to deal merely with the real,
and to leave the speculative for those
who play upon the planchelte.
Summer came and passed away as a
languid green ; autumn, with the dead
empress in his arms, mourned for her
through all the mellow days ; winter
wove with the hands of the north wind
a snow-shroud for the lord and lady ;
and in the spring Paul bade a brief
good-bye to his darling 1 , and started
for Montana, promising all manner of
devotion, and receiving the promises of
all manner of devotion in return.
Emeline was no doubt, in love, but
Emeline was young, and one might
say gushing, and, withal, had a
good appetite. She remembered Paul
for his ring, for his kisses, and lor th-e
beauty of his bearded face. But a
rival came after awhile, and made hot
love winningly. If Paul had been as a
light infantryman in wooing, Charles
S r was a zouave of the Imperials
Garde —he was irresistible. In one
charge he captured the ring, surround
ed Paul’s daguerreotype, bayoneted his
tender epistles with keen ridicule, and
tossed the red shako of his audicious
avowei into the inmost citadel of Erne
line’s heart.
News came at last that in some
wonderful Indian fight Paul had been
shot down and scalped. Emeline was
sorry in truth, for she said, musingly,
one day, “Poor fellow ; I hope he was
quite dead before they scalped him ; it
would have distressed him so much to
lose his hair.” And she felt up aloft
complacently about her own duck of a
chignon and imagined the surprise of
Mr. Ogolallah Sioux if he should at
tempt to take her scalp.
It was all plain sailing with Mr.
Charles S after the raid of the
“bloody In-di-ans,” and the day was
fixed, and the vows were plighted, and
another ring rested ominiously where
Paul's had been.
Five nights ago Miss Emeline B-:
retired alter a “field day” with her
lover. He had been aggressive and
she had been yielding. They had dis
cussed Paul, but not the proverb which
runs thus :
‘•lt is good to be merry ami wise,
It is good to be honest and true;
It is well to be off with the old love.
Before you are on with the new ”
About midnight Emeline’s parents
were aroused by fearful cries proceed
ing from her room, and imagining ter
rible things, they rushed frantically to
her assistance. The poor girl was
almost beside herself with fright. Her
beautiful face was paler than her night
dress ; her lips were blanched, her little
hands worked nervously, and she could
scarcely articulate. “Oh !” she shriek
ed, with her arms wound convulsively
about her mother’s neck, “I have seen
a ghost!” “A ghost ?” said the father,
who had been dreaming about cent per
cent, “humbug, Miss,such a story won’t
pay, Miss.”. “A ghost!” pitied the mo
ther, shielding her daughter's eyes with
her bosom, “did it wear pantaloons?”
Thus put upon, poor Emeline told, in
broken and tremulous accents, of how
Paul, dressed all in white, with blood
running in great streams over his face,
appeared to her, and bent ever her, and
seemed to be mad with her, and then
she looked under the bed for Paul and
on the bed for Paul’s The old
man muttered through iiis gray whis
kers something which sounded like
“humbug,” and retired. The mother
remained during the night and heard
from her daughter’s own lips all about
her first love and her last. The next
day Charles S got his walking pa
pers, and, strange and true to relate, in
five days Paul rc-turued with as pretty
a head of hair as ever was sprinkled
with frangipanni, and as harmless ofan
Indian fight as he was ol sending his
spirit to his sweetheart’s room.

Wot an Enoch Arden Case.
One of our enterprising colored men
having been advised to “take a wile,”
went to Louisville last week and look
the wife of a colored citizen of that
place, to w’hom, unmindful of the frowns
of the law, he was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. Believing in the
principle that “to the victor belongs
the spoils,” he caused considerable fur
niture, the property of his predecessor
in the affections of the colored beauty,
to be shipped to Lebanon, and arriving
here with his bride, “born to blush un
seen,” began housekeeping, with every
prospeet ol'protracteddomestic felicity.
But alas !
“Some sorrow follows all our brightest joys,
Some wanton finger with each heart-string toys,
Some demon lit culls the sweet flowers of hope,
Ere their fresh chalices to sweetness ope."
So it proved in this case. The in
jured lord left behind in the city,
came home to his deserted hearthstone
and found himself “ poor indeed.”—
His heart yearned for the perfidious
woman who had betrayed his confi
dence, but yearned still more for the
missing furniture. He could bear the
loss of all his domestic peace, but
would not brook the Joss of one piece
of furniture. He soon found out the
direction the guilty pair had taken, and
came on to this place a few days ago,
demanding his wife and his property,
especially the latter. Husband No. 2
agreed to surrender the furniture, if
permitted to retain the woman, to which
Husband No. 1 at length consented;
hut this reasonable compromise was
not ratified by the dusky Helen. She
expressed her determination to abide
or go with the goods and chattels, and
from these, in no event, would she be
separated. No argument, no entreaty,
no blandishment could move her from
her fixed resolve. When the cars mov
ed ofi’bearing the household goods hack
to the residence of the object o( her
first affection, she stepped aboard, leav
ing her second choice to grief and soli
tude.—Lebanon Clarion.

Singular Case.
A Vermont paper says : “There is a
man in this Stale who cannot speak
to his father. Previous to his bsrlli
some difficulty arose between his
mother and father, and for a consider
able time she refused to speak with
him. The difficulty was subsequently
healed, the child was born, and in due
time began to talk; but when sitting
with his lather, was invariably silent.
It continued so until the child was five
"years old, when the father, having
exhausted his powers of persuasion,
threatened it with punishment for its
stubbornness. When the punishment
was inflicted, it deeded nothing but
sighs and groans, which told but too
plainly that the little sufferer could not
speak, though he vainly endeavored to
do so. All who were present united
in the opinion that it was impossible
for the child to speak to its father.
At a mature age its efforts to converse
with its parent could only produce the
most bitter sighs and groans.
The Muzzle Trick.
The London Post relates as some
thing particularly fresh a story which
has been going the rounds of the Ameri
can newspapers any time these ten
years. The anecdote is as follows, in
the language of the Post: “An officer
of the Guards, a good steeple-chase
rider, went out the other day with a
favorite dog with a muzzle fastened cm
his tail. He had not gone far beforeJte
was accosted by a policeman, who told
him that, as his dog was unmuzzled,
he should take it up and detain it.—
This the officer in question defied hint
to do, maintaining that, as his dog had
a muzzle on his tail, he had complied
with Sir Richard Mayue’s order, be
cause it was not stated where the muz
zle was to be placed on the dog. This
so fairly baffled ‘the intelligent police
man* that heal once gave way, and let
the Guardman depart in peace with his
faithful companion.” The Yankee ver
sion of the above has General Butler
for its hero.
Indian Shrewdness. —'Fhe Indians
have always shown a fondness for
strong drink, and have been willing to
barter almost anything which tihev
possessed for the means of gratifying
their appetite. {Sometimes, like their
white neighbors, when they have be
come addicted to intemperance, it hap
pens that they have nothing to barter,
and they must depend on their wits or
go dry. One of this class came to a
tavern and told the landlord that for a
pint of whisky he would tell him where
he had just seen a bear.
The landlord produced the whisky.
“Up at the top of the hill where the
road turns—you know where the big
rock is ?” said the Indian.
“Yes.”
“And beyond the rock is a big
stump —you know where that is TANARUS”
“Yes.”
“Beyond that stump is an oak bush,
atid under it is the hear, fast asleep.”
Boniface started with tnen, dogs and
guns, but no bear was found.
“You lying whelp,” said he to the
Indian as he returned, “you have de
ceived me ; there was no he ir there,
and none has been there lately.”
“You found the rock, didn’t you?”
asked the Indian.
“Yes, I found the rock.”
“And the stump was there too,
wasn’t it TANARUS”
“Yes.”
“ And the bush was there ?”
“Yes, hut there was no bear there.”
“Three truths to one lie! Pretty
well for Indian ; better than white
man do,” w r as the cool reply.
Negro Simile. —An old negro nam
ed Pete was much troubled about Ins
sins. Perceiving him one day with a
very down-cast look, his master asked
him the cause. ‘Oh, massa, lam such
a great sinner.’ ‘But, Pete,’ said his
master, ‘you are foolish to take it so
much to heart. You never see me
troubled about my sins.’ ‘I know de
reason, massa,’ said Pete ; ‘when you go
out duck shooting and kill one duck
and wound another, don’t you run
after de wounded duck ?’ ‘Yes. Pete,*
and the master wondered what was
coming next. ‘Well, massa, dis de
way wid you and me, de debil has got
you sure, but as he am not sure of
me, he chases dis child all tie time.’
An Eloquent Speech. —Lewis, big
buck negro from Perry, let off the fol
