C lUsiu N Ilia was the eldest daugh ter of a respectable rind wqll-to-tirt far mer, reeding near the little village of Sitnpst n. Nellie was decidedly the bmutyoftbe ftmily, petted and almost sp i!cd by her brothers an I sitters, yet so one eould help loving lnr; she had dark-dluc eyes, .‘.nd light auburn hair which hung in wnivy rinpl-ts t v r her shoulders; she also presented a sweet disposition, tendering her still more charming. Now Nellie, as a matter cour ts, had ti grcu‘. many admirers, ai.d among tin tn a certain Mortimer Hudson. She was envied by half the girls in the neighbor hood, and manor uv.-ring namma* shook tin ir heads after vainly trying to secure him for Susan Jane or. Mary Ann. Mortimer Hudson was quite wealthy; his broad acres extended far ami near and many damsels sighed after their blighted bopeu when the engagements ol Mtrt'mer Huds-n and Nellie Tlusht m was made pu bbc. They were to be mar ried in J une, and great preparations were being made for that event. Man tua-makers and miliners were in great demon 1, Nellie bavirg gone to Boston to select Iter bridal tiossrau Mrs. Rur-h - insisted that her rtaugbdcr should be married in white silk, looped up with flowers; in cl 1 maid . unt opposed five measures, and strongly' advocated the lljicy wl.i'o mus'in dress. Wbili all wn piiei anljiy in the Rushton manstm, another event was transpiring that stiried ho U 'od in every true pat riot heart Civil war loomed darkly in the h rriz m ; Frt Stiratc r bad been ti ed upon. The flig of the South had bien flung to the bretzrsi President Lincoln’* pr oclamadcn, call" ittg for seventy-five thousand men, disk cd along the wires thr ugh all the n 'rth ern s ates. Among the first that nobly responded to the ca’l of his country was Mortimer Hudson ; he enlisted in the-.luth Geor gia lufantry as a private soldier- Nellie ctull scarcely believe that be would enlist in opposition to her wishes i she was stunned and wept bitterly on hearing the coafi rmafion es htr worst fears; her heart was torn by conflicting euio ions. Stern duty called, he would obey. At length, after a smuggle between love and pride, in which ptilo conquer td, she decided she would pait from him coldly. When Mortirr er called tha* evening Nr Hie received bin icily. He told her their marriage would be unavoidably de layed. “Oh, it is of ud cons qucnce,’’6ai4 Nellie, loftily. Mortimer was inrpri-tod and vexed; he had expeeted a ddihrrrt reception ; he appealed to her patriotism, to her loyalty, hut all to no purpose, Nellie was fitro. “Ne’iic, d> you love me?” said Mor tiraet. “Ye o ,” sa ; 1 Nellie h sif.atingly. “Then why oppose my going? I will have you arrested for discouraging cn enlistmcnts,” said Mortimer, mischiev ously. “There are enough men without yon, said N l ie. “Ye>,” exclaimed Mortimer, yet our j honor nu.s be sustained. All the ! men a c needed at this critical hour. • To-morrow we leave for the seat ot war, , and 1 still have other calls to make to— I night,” said Mortimer, glancing at his i watch. Nellie bade him gool-byo coldly ac ! cording to her determination. The next day the regiment left * for tli9 seat of war. The fiends of the soldiers accompanied them to th : depot; tears were in many eyes, far w 11 they knew that some of the brave men would never mere return. Nellie kept her room on pica of vio lent head-ache; she half regretted not havio-g bade Mortimer “God speed,” Sho looked anxiously forward to Use time wheu she might hear from him, for he promised to write as scon as he reached his destination. She haunted the post- ffiec daily, although ralli.d unmercifully by her faiv friends. At length the loDg wished f a letter arrived, and Nollte was wil 1 with joy. Mortimer was in good spirits, aud wrote cheerfully, giving ajdrscriplion of the country and niiao tints llis whole letter breathed a spirit of love. Nellie wrote a reply, couched in kind and ass c tionatc term*, tel i- g him sho had cen c’uded not to correspond, but if at the exp’ratien of his term es enlistment he would return, loving her nil the s i te, she would marry him as a reward for his perse v r ranee. About this time there came to the little vill*:e of S a voting law yer by the name of Gny Htmcrs. He was gay and fascinating, and formerly belonged to a wealthy family ; but the constant isroa Is on tbeir wealth, by the dissipnti nos Guy, soon threatened ti diminish the ir CifT-rs, and be was oblig ed to shift for himself or marry nn heir- DAAVSON, (»A., FRIDAY, X>ECEMBKTI It, 18««. cas. As there weto two aht motives loft, Guy choßo tha latter, f r the i lea of working always ii.ado lim shudder with bur <>r 1 1 was tit ti party in the village given iu honor of his arrival that Guy Somors first met Nellie llushtoc ; ho was instant ly enamored of her beau'y, wit, and vi vacity. “Who is tha* girl?’’ lie sa : d with a pensive stnil', to his hoste-s. “U .i,t iaiis Miss Rush too ; would you tike au introduction ?” “Oh, no,” he replied, languidly. “She is beautifil,” said the hostess, “do you think so ?’’ “Oh, yes, hut is she rich? ;< “Well, jes; hc-r aunt will leave her all her property, besides considerable bauk ttock.“ That was suflßoient f <r Guy; he made his way across the ro -m to where Nellie : sat chatting with a crowd of admi p tis, who hung on awry word ns if she was somo farn-us oraelcof ancient times. He-1 seated himself aud prepared for ci quest: lia'v. at an ag e’,bH cou.ponion, as Nellie sji n found, and talked on the most en tertaining subjects. That night bo escor ted N-11 c homo, and received permission to call and see her. G uy Somers became a frequent vis itor at Mr Rusbton’s. He escorted s Nellie to parties and j denies, and soon j was ber acklowleilgeil lover. This \ made her more envied by the village g'rls, for many n fair damsel bad do- j tenmned to number Guy Somers in the list of her admirers Nullie was sitting in ber morn, en gaged in a delightful reverie; she pic tured to herself the sensation she would create on her appearance among the fashionable ladies of Boston At the same time Guy Somers sat in his room at the hotel. Let us listen to him soliloquizing : “Gny Somers, you are a lucky dog ! Eureka 1 the prize is mine ! Now if the old rheumatic aunt was only out of the ropd ! To-night I will leant my fate. Mortimer Hudson, you arc rob bed of your laurels. Poor fellow 1 I pity jour fiirf rtuna’e ease 1” He sauntered lazily down the street towards the Pushton mansion, and that night he returned tin accepted lover cf Nellie Rush ton lie was per feet’y happy, us the following later will show : “Peak Mother : —1 have at last succeeded in entrap; ing a go] Jen heir t-ss, Nellie Rush ton Ly name She is quite rich, er cl e l would n«v r mar ry ber. \Ye shall be married soon I think I shall rent a house on Beacon street. ‘ You; affectionate son, Gly.” We \\ ill iow return to the Pattie fieJd, where weTefc Nl rtuner bravely fighting the battles of bis c unity.— He lull been ia several engagements, blit escaped unharmed. The battle of Cliickihoroiny bad been fought and won Thousands of brave soldiers had fall en, and in in ning was in many house holds. Nellie Hush'on earg rly scanned the I ape.-s containing an in count of the buttle The loth Ga Infantry was n the hottest of the action, and a norig the list ni killed was the n -me of -'tor timer Hudson. Thopgper fell front her trembling bands, and yet she was not sorry. Not that she wished him dead, yet she Imil < fion thought she coul-i never meet him again without his despising Iter. Guy Somers was admired by her parents for bis eharming manners and polished speech, and they ollerol no objections to her marrying this city g lulenum. Mr. Rushton had specu’ated large ly, and snms of no small amount were tnnvnntly changing hands. The con tinual woriv brought on a slow fever, and he soon breathed nis last. Wo will not dwell oil the grief of the fam ily They were all assembled iri the spacious drawin '-room to hear the reading of the will, Guy SomeF.-j among the rest. On opening the will it was found that Mr. Kushton had died insolvent. lie advi-ed them to sell their house and move West.
