I did not care til ‘TI. Ttiis Earnest Gregory'had been my sis tor's husband for two long weary years, until she died, and was carried forth, from his homo to her quiet blessed grave When the ground was really ocerher I breathed more freely than I had done since I saw her sweet beautiful lace be. side his dark selfish unfaithful one upon tlteir bridal morning. At least shew as out ot his arms, and away from his in fluence, now, For that I thanked God, while I nerved my-elf fur the work, which I was at least free to perform. While my sister lived I had borne all lor her sake. Lot him lie ware now ! For every «r»uitig tender wo.d lie hud dared to iusuit me with, he should re ceive a hundred fold reward For every moment of suffering his neglect had giv en the being who was more than my life to me, he should receive full .recom pense at least. fs‘t him beware indeed! r mean to make hirn fi-vo me as u man lores whif he would die for. It was not enough that ha should admire and ask mo to He his wife; he niusj be so, iouni up in my life, that to sever would ,: vfng deatb. I was a desperate '.-111111 bound t i sing-’e purpose.

"Let me touch your lips once, Mar* j ri;i.' "Not for a thousand worlds !” I an-i swered iju e:ly. lie dropped my arm, and turned back 1 saying, "i will leave you then.” "Very well,” I returned ns placidly as i before, lie came buck iu an instant. “It is ot no use. 1 believe there was ! ! never a slave bound by such chains as 1 !•” 1 Xonsi use 1 V oil would lbrgi tme in n week Were 1 aw.iy.” "For heaven's sake don’t tiy me.

The days wore on, the luscious autumn came laden with its fruits and flowers.— The maples dropped their crimson and | scarlet leaves’, like wine drops at a feast 1 the thrush and woodpecker called loudly j , irorn the choannt tops the earth’s high; carnal would bo past. I looked arcuud | with steady eyes, and said, “l’lic winter is coming to me. It shall be spring no longer in Ernest Gregory’s t eart.” \Yo were far up from the mountain J side, he ami I—lie radiant and happy, ' 1 because 1 meant that he should ho thus ; 1 1, serene and—waiting. “Let go over the top, and down - through the .hollu-.v homo. You remem-' I her the way V' "Oh, yes, I rememh'er,” I answered. 1 “And you will say I love you, before j the sun sets ?” “I promised an answer true. Jt will be whatever my heart says.” “I am Hot afraid. I have road love iu | your eyes all this golden day.” "Have you ? ’ I answered, carefully J ’ * i modulated tones, smiling meanwhile into his eager face. “Wait !’ "With yon I can wait for ever.” We rode slowly up tlie steep ascent, and then I struck into a hard, fierce gal iop. There are times when one seems: to fear nothing. That was such a day ;to me;,and the exhilarating air which ! , whirled around me see usd to fill me with new dumg.

RADICAL BARBARITY. Our city readers will remember that the Augusta Foundry, on Jackson street, | was used, subsequently to the war, as a | Freeman,s Hospital under the auspices | ut’the Freedineu’s Bureau After a while! the hospital was removed to the opposite side of the street, buildings having been ; placed there for that purpose. In the old j 1 hasp tul, after its vacation, chains were 1 ; found attached to the floor in one o 1 the rooms, where the refractory negroes were j ' chained, and p< Siaps otherwise ptup : fished. Hut worse than this, in the! ! “dead liour.e” some fhree orf< nr skeleton j were found! anijfijio.’jes of dead negroes ' ' are still lying upon the ground tlieio; and j among those is the skelleton of an infant! I This hospital was an offshoot or clfarg.: | of the Free.linen's Bureau, a Radical in J ! sFlution; established ostensibly for the ] j protection of the negroes, and yet the ! j poor cratues were allowed to perish and ! to go without even interment! j This is aseuere commentary on Radi ! cal love for the negro.
