That seen—they two so young and. fair-- 7 ith,

is striving to gain bar purpose--he wavers—two
mighty elements struggle in opposition within his

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

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. Reader, ho was Walter Lo Clare.

GLUTEN CAPSULES
OF
PURE COD-LIVER OIL•
The repugnance of most patients to COD-LIVER
OIL, and the Inability of many to take It at all, has In
duced various forms of disguise for its administration
that are familiar to the Medical Profession. Some of
them nose or in special eases, but more often the vehicle
neutralizes the usual effect of the 011, proving Quite as
unpalatable and of loss therapeutic value. The repug
nance, nausea, &c., to invalids, Induced by disgust of the
Oil, is entirely obviated by the use of our CAPSULES.
COD-LIVER OIL CAPSULES have been much used
lately in Europe, the experience there of the good ro
suite trout their use In both hospital and prlvatepractico,
aside from the naturally suggested advantages, are suf
ficient to warrant our claiming the virtues we do for
them, feeling assured their use will result In benefit and
deserved favor. Prepared by

This Remedy Is a sate and simple preparation from the

proof of ite•puro and Inflexions elements, and to those
who know his character for skill and careful attention,
to prescribe only such remedial agents as should secure
restoration without producing subsequent evil, it will be
welcomed as a real good. Under the guidance of a Phy

made known), it INil alwa)a he found very beneficial,
