Sad—with all woman's earnestness is striving to gain bar purpose--he wavers—two mighty elements struggle in opposition within his manly bosom; love for her who is about to prove a 'second Eve, and devotion to his country. Oh, how can he speak those words of refusal ; how disk)• point the ambition of her whom ho loved better than life? But he will speak—sho,is gazing with her own bright, beautiful eyes into the very depths of his soul-speaking orbi, as though she would read his answer' there ero it fell from his lips—they parted ; 'sound imlnd 'he was utmost spell bound. Never, never - had she appeared so regally handsoMe, yid* thought, as she stood bofere,hbn in her bewitching beauty ; and his' soul sickened at the thought of what one so queenly would. hare him do. A moment, and his answer. Slowly it came, and low ; yet so distinct that it might have been heard at the farthest oorner of that splendid drawing-room. "Mary, I am true to the Union and my court- " Then, Walter Le Claro, you have never loved rue, or else—" "Mary," ho began— " You are a contemptible coward !" rang on his tortured ear. He sprang to his feet. 'Twos a fear ful sight to see that brave loving man so strongly moved ; ho stood erect, with his arms tightly folded across his chest; the hot blood, madly leaping, freshly started through his swelling veins, dyed his whole face a burning red Ong the passion lasted not long, for the blood receding, left his forehead calm and white as snowy marble; the fire-light of indignation went out from the beautiful eye, and In place of its lurid glow, came back the oil love flame that used to sparkle there, together with a Mingled expression of reproach and forgiveness—a single glance—when, bowing low, he turned! and. was gone. * * * * And now, for an introduction to the persons, at whose conversation, contrary to the rules of good breeding, we have been uninvited listeners; rather late, perhaps—well, " better late than never." Mary Langley, at the period of her introduction to you, dear 'reader, had just entered upon her nineteenth year. She was a tall dark beauty of Georgian birth, with hair black as a raven's wing, and of that peculiar glossiness seen only in the wavy ringlets of Spitnish senoritas ; her oyes, large, dark and brilliant, seemed to burn you with their very intensity of. expression. Her form, delioatory rounded and moat exquisitely developed, would have been the delight of a modiste; united with those personal charms was a mind well stored with all the current literatur&of the day, besides many of the workeOf the old masters; and a taste re fined and oultiCated. She had been left en orphan at the •age of seventeen, and having chosen Mr. Walterles Otero, senior, guardian of, her property, came to reside with him about a year previous to the return of Walter, who was summoned from an unfinished tour on the continent to the bed-side of bite aged-father: 'To describe our hero but few words ere nieessary, He was what now iS seldom found=a true Southern gentleman, handsome, cul tivated, .polialied, talented, and possessed of all those qualities which contribute to form nature's nobleman. Arrived at s home, he found his father just recovered from a Beimre attack of typhoid fe ver, and anxious to have him remain; a task which Walter found by no means difficult, since it was now heightened and beautified by the, presence of Mary Langley. Thus brought into nese : elation, need we tell the result? It was no matter of surprise to old Mr. Le Clare, when, descending into the break feat' room one fine May morning, he found them heed in hand, waiting his appearance. The open ing of the present rebellion saw them happy, and only waiting the completion of some alterations and additions to the Le Clare mansion, before joining hands where hearts were already united. The clamor of secession had in him no advocate, no list ener; on the contrary, he wrote, spoke, and la bored against it in vain. Because of his superior military knowledge—ho having graduated with the highest honors from West Point, and spent some time in observing the defences and fortifications of several- places celebrated in the Crimean war—the, rebel leaders were anxious to have him take com mand of a regiment; but finding that he spurned -with indignation the commission offered him, they, knowing the influence exerted by a woman over a man that truly loves her, determined to bestir themselves In another direction. In pursuance of this resolve, parties and balls Were given end at tended by theif wives and daughters. Here Mary Langley, the acknowledged belle of Montgomery, and a courted beauty, heard and imbibed the senti ments of her Alabamian sisters, as was intended, together with the same idea held by many at that time, and not yet given up, vie: establishing a monarchical government; and determined to imi late the example set by many of her friends in persuading their lovers and other male friends, to join the Confederate army that they might wreathe their fair brows with fresh laurels of conquest and victory, in the court's of royalty or the balls of Ar bil! CY, Hence tlie scene at the operdng of this story. - • Chagrined at her failure, the traitoress hastily dispatched a note to the " Conuetw t " then in set• sion,lhe'resalt of .which - will soon Zpa apparent. When Walter left the drawing-room, he went to the stable; and, as was his custom when irritated, Mounted his favorite horse, a gallant little bay, and'galloped over to the neighboring plantation on which Charles Grantner, his bosom friend, lived. Having reniained.over to dinner, ho was riding slowly hoineward, when he was met by James, the negro valet-de-chambre, in great agitation, and quite out of breath. doming up to him, he was surprised to see ters in his eyes and marks of dis tress on his countenance; dismounting, he set down on a small flat rock near by ; and bado James take a seat beside him, The latter obeyed, and essayed to relate the cause of his disturbance in the follow ing manner : "Oh, marster Walter! You never aaw Bich doing in your life—nobody ever did. I have been huntin' and huntin' you ever so long. Jeff Davis done gone and sent them 'federate devils to 'Amato the property, and take all on us niggors to work in the 'trenchments, and dig the fortycations. oh lord!' Mars' Walter, do save us! as how you could." Here he began to wring his hands. With a , bladed " follow me !" Le Clare leaped in his saddle, and was out of sight ; putting spurs to his horse he was soon at home. The moot dire confusion prevailed—servants were running hither and thither, shrieking and uttering the most vale znent lamentations. Entering the parlor, he found two officers, who had come Carect from headquar ters bearing a commiaaion, and in case of his re fusal, a notice of the confiscation of his own - and father's estate without reserve. Rather beggary and honor"--he was about to eay,'when the door opened, and Mary Langley on. tered, her countenance wrought up to an apparent expression of, the moat intense agony, supporting his father, whose trembling frame could ill brook the evils of poverty: Stretching his arnurtowarde Walter, the, ld man cried, "Save we, my son !" and would have fallen at his feet had he not caught him in his arms. " Say no more, my dimwit fathor—l will." He panned—the great deeps of sweat stood upon his forehead ; (What a *lel !) but his aged father iniat not be thrown upon the cold charity of the world, by any deed of his—no, no ! He fell !—avert his doom, kind Heayen became a traitor. On, on—through the rebel camp, past sentinel and guard, - we go, atoning at that large white tent. Ills the Colonel's;, he is within; writing. Peeping over his ehoulder we observable letter's to "Diary." - Skipping, we will read : , ." There was some fighting yesterday; the victory is with the Federal troops. To-morrow the din of battle may be renewed: Then Walter Lo Clare will go forth a dishonored man, to raise his hand pgeinst the fag which has protected him on land and sea; in savage wilds and foreign courts." Passing on to the postscript: "P. B.—A courier brings the .news of my father's death. Should I survive the battle, farewell, Mary: Sod bless thee ; for then I go to join, the Union army—not that I love thee less, but my country novo. . - 'Tie the evening after the battle of Bull Run. The ground is strewn with the dead and dying. A little to the right of Synder heap of ghastly cones; lies the body of a handsome young. officer, clad in the uniform of the Confederate army; one hand is on his heart, the other grasps a small Federal flag, which ho got hie death wound in wresting from a brave son of the 69th, and which, in dying hour he had laid under hie head, and prayed for with his last breath.
