I'UUtJSHINO - O., I nil ;..delphi.i, Pa. UVi n TIONESTA, TA., CECILTi It was during tli lale ' tebcllion. I wns nn officer in tho Federal service am' it fcliaoced, ihrongli" fortune of war, that my command was sent to New Orleans on special duty. This rloty, to most,- of us, "" wns not Very blcasant; And wo were Rwafting eagerly our summons to another quar ter, wheo I mcLwilh a rather roman tic adventure.... , Passing down a secluded street, late one evening, I was startled by'a loird shriek, evidently in a woman's voice, followed by an appeal 'for help. Dart ing forward, I preceived in the dim, gray shadows or twilight, which fell up on all things, the slender figure of a woman, enveloped in a waterproof cloak, struggling in the grasp of a bur ly j-uflian.-, It v,itg but the work of a moment to deal, him a blow, which laid him at my feet, lie arose, and with muttered curses and threats of future vengeance, to which I, at the time, paid no heed, considering them but the ravings of an inebriate, stag gered onward. All this time tha wo man had stood trembling with terrof, leaning against an adjacent building. . "How can I ever thank you, sir ?" , It was a low, clear, sweet voice, the unmistakable tones of refinement. I raised my, bat- - - vy "If voir will allow mej "madan"' I replied, "l .will escort you borne. ,It is not safe for ladies to be' out alone, in these troublous times.". ... "I know it," fclie responded, some what' haughtily. ' "But since yaur nr my has demoralized the city, and forc ed its citizens to an observance of laws, which are only the laws of tyrants tho power of the stronger over the weaker sinco New Orleans has be come what it now is, we are obliged to submit to ' much and do '"many acts which are repugnant to us 1" " 'Cjho turned away, with a qnick, im perious gesturo of disdain, and, ere I could advance a step, had .vanished ilowti an adjoin irg street. I stood, for a moment., staring blankly in the di rection that she had taktn, arid, I must confess it, thinking very much of the soft tones f.her voice, and tho bowil dering dark eyes with which she bad glanced into my face, while she utter ed her tirade .ngaiust. the army, . to which I had the honor of belonging. "Whew! The little rebel," I ex claimed half aloud as I turned to move away. Just then, "my eyes fell upon a package lying upon the pavement, and I raised it with a start of surprise. It was evidently a small box . carefully wrapped in tissue paper. Thrusting it in my pocket I started in the direction which she had taken with a faint hope of overtaking her ; but I had proceed ed but a lew .rods, Avhau I, heard my 11 . J 1 J 1 name cuueu, nuu giauciug around, ua held the colonel of ray regiment. "-Major, said he, hurriedly, "re port at ouce nt headquarters. I have received important uews. and wish to see you and some of tho other officers immediately. i i, i -t lie passed raptdlv onward before I could answer with more than the cus tomary salute, and was lost to eight in the distance, Yr - With a feeling of injpatienco which I could not restrain, I obeyed my supe rior's commands, and hastened to head quarters. Hero I soon discovered lhat we were to leave SSew Orleans at once and proceed northward. Important military movements rendered this change imperative. 1 sought my own quarters, anl pro ceeded to examine the little package. Removing the numerous strings and wrappings, a small box stood reveal ed. Y ith an odd sensation at my heart I raised the lid... Within the in-1 closure, upona bed of azure sati;v there rested a magnificent set of pearls, uuai ni tiiv .naeriuiuii, in uiu jugusu letters: "Cecile Tretnaine, from her Fatter." - . My ! heart filled with pity for the young girl. whom I felt convinced was Cecile Treinaine. W'jere was she go ing alone so late, and with so costly a burden? Who could tell what story of want, and woo, and despair it might be in hor power to relate ? My exper ience in tho war-deva6tated South had shown me clearly the suffering and poverty, and desolation of many of the first and best in the land, and may not her errand have been to convert the jewels into bread for some suffering loved one? Hard old solditr though I was, I felt the tears start in my eyes. And from that bour I determiudd to protect the jewels, aud, sooner or lat er, if it were in the power of man to do so, I would return them safely to her possession. '. t '; But I had no time for sentimentaliz ing ; the army was already in motion, nud my place was with my command; so, stiiling my sighs of regret, i pre pared for immediate departure. Tak ing the pearls, I sewed thorn carefully iuto a large, leathern belt which I wore on my person concealed beneath my outer clothing, and determiued to de feud them with mv life. V JUNE (5, 1877. That night wo left New .Orleans, aud years clapped before I saw . that city again.' Turning our faces north ward wo moved through Mississippi ; here we had several, skirmishes, but from till ,1 escaped unhurt. " Months elapsed, and still I wore the pearls safely hidden, and, as I fondly imag ined, unsuspected by aayone. "But I was doomed to find out my mistake. We were encamped not far from Chattanooga, Tennessee. We were ex- riecting marching orders daily, and, ying idly in ramp, were glad of any diversion to while away the long hours, when, one day", et rolling musician, nn old man with a long white beard, and carrying a violin in a dilapidated case, was brought into camp.' He had been'nbs'erved pfowlimj around, and so had been "taken in," as one of the men laughingly remarked. But, subsequent circumstances prov ed that the "boot was on the other foot." Worn out-with Inactivity, the boys, one aud all, welcomed the old fellow ; and, when we found what ex quisito music he drew forth from that worn, old violin, we decided unani mously, that . the ..new arrival was a grtncl addition to the rainpV' . , Butonce; I caught him looking at nie ; thei'6 fras' a' peculiar glitte? iu his steely-blue ej-e?, which did not please me j an impressioif that we had met before, crept over me, and from that hour I became suspicious of him, and was ever oil the alert. - ' ' I had "turned in" fi r the night. All the camp lay quietly sleeping be neath the clear, white, moonbeams ; no sound broke the silence, savo tho occasional challenge of tho sentinel ; and I lay, restlessly tossing on my rude coticlr, u'neusy and filled .with5 a vague distrust, a feeling that some thing was to happen. The moon-rays penetrated my shel ter, and , d rapped in great, white patches on tho ground, before my bod. I lay with my eyes fixed upon them; when, sudrtenly't'I saw a dark shadow cross their whiteness : then a form drew cautiously near, und I saw that it was our strolling minstrel.'. s . ', But be was no longer bent and gray, and, in that moment I found out two things; that he Had obtained access to our camp in disguise for some .unlaw : ful purpose ; and, also that my good memory had not played me false; this midnight prowler v. as., the man whom I had struck, for assaulting the young lady, some months before. In a (lash I saw jt! all.-- He . had attempted to rob her of her jewels but, failing in hi3 vile design, had secretly observed my possession of them, aud had follow ed our regiment and dogged my steps for the purpose pf robbing me at last. Something prompted me to close my eyes, and feign sleep. I felt the. vil lain, .approach "me closer closer then; a sponge. saturated with, chloro form was held to my- nostrils y with a quick'spring I bounded to my feet and caught the ruffian by the throat. Just then, the sound of a bugled pealed through the quiet night, "boots , aud saddles." With a desperate wrench the robbef "escaped 'nib f and I before I ws scarcely aware of my own move ments found myself t ..my saddle, and, with the rest of the command, on my way to the scene of action. Here we met the opposing army, and a fearful battle ensued. . Throug-h all that dreadful engage ment, I kept the pearls jealously guard ed ; it was a point of honor with me, and I would never give them up. Such thoughts were flitting through my piind when I felt a 6trong grasp on my bri dle, and, glancing down, stood face to race with the pretended old. ; man, the would-be robber of the night before. At that moment I felt a sharp pain in mv Bide,' followed by. a numb, dead feeling. , , ;i I saw the red-hot torrent which pour ed forth, and knew that I was wound ed ; then I lost consciousness. I was aroused by a'rough and ha?ty touch ; and,. opening my eyes I found my enemy bending over me, his hands busily removing my outer garments, and I knew he was searching for the pearls. Whence came my strength I know not ; but with a sudden, mighty effort I 6eize J my saber, and struck him a heavy blow. I saw him reel, and fall backward -aud then once more I swooned, away. ' ' On mv second retura to conscious ness I found myself lying ou a hospi tal bed, with kindly faces around me. My lirtit thtught was of the jewels, and my heart thrilled with exultation when I i'ouud that tlfey were safe, For many weary mouths I lay upon my bed ; and, during tho interval, the war ended. 13ut my health was very fee ble, and w hen I was removed to my native New York it was tho general impression thst I had come home to die. However, that was not my intention, and in the course of a year I found myself on the fair way to recovery. Tho secret of the pearls I had uaver shared with any one. They had been ip my posscssiou for tho tspaco of live A O -A I J V -V A , $2 PER-ANNUM. years, and yet I had never really dis paired of returning them to their own er. . ; About that timo it occurred to mo that ft trip to Louisiana would be, ve ry beneficial to my health ; and so, in the year 18G8, I found myself once more in New Orleans. My first step was to insert a "personal" iu all the daily papers, addressed' to Miss Ce cile Tremaine, and requesting her pres ent address. But I received no re sponse. Day after day passed by, and I was rapidly losing hope, when it chanced one morning that I strolled iuto the printing ofhee of a friend, and stoodvatching tho nimble fiugcra of the cgmpositors, among whom were severS ladies. . , . , At length I heard tho foreman ad dress one of. the employees as "Miss Tiemaine." With a wildly-throbbing heart I cast a furtive glance in her di rection. Great heavens it was sbel: I was sure of it. , . . ,, In a few moments I had acquainted my friend with the facts, and my -belief that thi.s. was tho young lady of whom I was in:, quest. He told rue then,, of her j poverty,, and that from one of the first and wealthiest families of New Orleans she was rcducod to earn her bread. He said that, there was no doubt that I was on the' right track, as she had already told him of the loss-of her pearls. Oahe night that I had rescued her, she had been on her way to dispose of them for her father lay dying, and she had no means with which to furnish him. food and medicine. He waa dead now, and she, poor girl, jyas all alone in the world. I will pass over1 my introduction, and tho astonishment with which she listened to' ray story. Timo had soft ened her asperity toward the ."Yan kees," nud, as months flew by, she seemed to have quite forgotten all past animosities, so that, when at last I ask ed her to become my wife, I was pre pared to hear her answer "Yes," and I was not disappointed. , . v" And on the day J,hat shehecame my bride, amid the lace of her snowy veil, and crowning her heavy waves of rav en hair, like dropa of ice, were tile jew els which I had cherished, and defend ed with my life, for all those! dreadful! years my Uecile a rearls. : 1 The Temperance Cyclone. "' -i : ' The Philadelphia -Repress, in a com plimentary notice of Francis Murphy's labor,, says i ... . : Mr. Murphy. will probably close his meetings in this city-for the present about Juno 1st. It was his first in tention to carry on the "work "until the city was redeemed," as he once1 ex pressed it, but for certain reasons it has been thought best not to continue the exercises through the summer. ' Ai we look over our exchange news papers, and notice the many Temper ance Murphy meetings held in differ ent cities and towns, and read of the thousands of converts made, we can not but say, that "surely the. hand of God is in this movemeut." . Saved himself from a ( drunkard's fate, tha tale of his own" redemption never fails, of awakening tho warmest sympathies of man's nature, and en couraging others to make the effort which will finally bring tho same hap piness and contentment he 'now en joys.', fceven years ago be was strip ped of everything ; separated from bis wife and children, and he in a dun geon. The latter at last become in straightened circumstances, not . even having food to eat. We can portray the agony of his soul as he : paced his lonely cell, aud thought that ere his release came, death might . take them from him. His earnest prayers to God were at last answered. Murphy found a friend in the person of Capt. Sturte vant, of Portland, Me., the same who now speaks from the platform upon the subject of temperauce. ' Through the latter's influence he was released. As he clasped his wife to his bosom, well did she kuow as he said "God helping me, wife, I will never touch a drop of liquor, aod never sell anoth er drop" that that vow would be sa credly kept. Suou his little homo was made comfortable, and in tho fulness of his heart at the great good which a temperance life had accomplished for him, he said : "I must tell others. . I must Eavo my fellow man. I must tell him to forever put away from him the intoxicating bowl." ; .. Experience; ha3 made him eloquent. Who, then, could resist 6uch appeals as the following, which camo from his heart when addressing an audience at the annex to the Academy : "I see be fore me, beneath the tattered coat or torn blouso, the noble heart of many a kingly man. Assert your manhood to-day. Put ou your armor, and through the lovo of Jesus Christ, you will be able to wear it." Mr. Murphy's success is further at tributable to Lis avoidauce of every word calculated to wouud the feelings of tlioco who have lalien.

He takes mcu by the hand nnd in that manner which bespeaks thesenai live nature, he without Faying loo much, lets them kuow be fully under standi their feelingsr and condition, and gradually leads them to sign the pledge and take the first step which is to result in others which will place them in their proper sphere in society as men entitled to respect and sympa thy. Ho believes in awakening the desiro for reformation which does in deed dwell in every breast, or as anoth er states it TFaith in man's ultimate integrity, in the Divine spark of im mortality that burns In the soul, no matter how dimly ; hopo that the breath of sympathy may reach and enliven this sacred fire, and brotherly love to stretch out the hands and save the fallen and the perishing; Tbeser seem to be the elements the faith, the . hope; the charity that inspire this movemeut. " ality, the one man power, which gives1 character, and unity of purpose t popular enthusiasm, and this Mr. Mur nhy possesses in a remarkable degree. Jle has the gift of oratory, the mag, netic presence, the ponvincing sinceii ty of manner, and, what is of not less importance, the physical capacity for tremendous hard work that might bo predicated of him from an acquaint ance of his career. - r ; . And, furthermore, ho seems to pos' perpetuates tho impression he makes by personal appeal, and leaves a com petent society, thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the work, to continue the mission in every locality which he vis its. . ,. . , ; i Such, in brief, is the natural philos ophy of the.Murphy movement. Prac tically, it inculcates the literal nccepl ance of the Christian belief in human brotherhood, aod. its method 'is to reach out the hand of fraternity to the broken down drunkard and hit him Again to the standing of upright man hood.; , .No matter how clegraded, how sunk en in the depths of despair the victim may be, - tho apostle of temperance says : "Brother, give me your hand. I'll save you yet," Trusting literally to the Biblical assertiou that the King dom of Heaven is within, and, conse quently, can' not be utterly destroyed, this appeal is urged, and, where sue cessfully made, never fails to wofk ev en seeming miraculous salvation. Why Nye Refused the ArabianHorse. The following anecdote of tho late Senator Nye is told by tho Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise ; "He. was tidling. us jucidents of a journey to Europe, fiom which he had then just returned. Among the ret he said the Sultan of Turkey ordered In his honor, as a Senator of the Unit ed States,1 a grand review of the army in Constantinople, and the Grand Vi zier mounted him upon a steed which ho describel as magnificent. Said Nye, "he was a pure Arabian.. He had a coat like velvet ; he felt like a myriad of steel springs beneath a man ; his eye was between a lion's and a woman a, with all the courage of the one and all the human gentleness and beauty of tho other blended ; he knew I was an old man, and,was as tender of me at a child, When I' dismounted I could not refrain from, expressing to the Graad Vizier my, admiration for the incomparable creature. He heard me through au interpreter, and then, bow ing low, begged me to accept the horse as a' murk of the profound regard which the Sultan entertained for me. 'Did you accept him, Senator ?' wo asked. A peculiar look came into the old man's eyes as he replied : I made U mIV4 lUiCU 14MOU IIUU caw hlJtllf X lla,jl not enough of money, and could seid to no plaeo for enough money, to pay " the freight ou the animal to New York; so 1 took high grouud. I bow ed low in return to the Grand Vizier, and bade the interpreter explain to him that while touched to the heart by this appreciation and generosity of the Sultau, it was, I was sorry to say, against the laws of my couutry for a Senator of the Uuited States to accept a present from any foreign Prince, po tentate or Power." A certain clerk in a-Western vil lage recently made the following com ment on Pocahontas. Said lie, "Po cahontas was a great man ; Pocahon tas was a kind-hearted aud true man." "Hold on," cried his companion, "Po cahontas was a woman." "She was eh?" said he. . "Well, that's just my luck. How am I expected to know? I never read the Bible." "Do you really believe, Mr. Pad-' kins, that any body could make a head from butter ?" asked the landla dy, "Well, yes, ma'am I should thiuL they might," said Pod kins, as hepusu od buck his individual butlcrpht "somebody has got as far as the ! '. with this."
