A STORY OF THE PRESENT WAR "My heart it; brealcin, Brian ! What will I I er do thi:i dreadful day? Oh Brian ! How could ye ? How could ye?'' was driv' to do it, Nora, Even the widi to something , for the coulithry that's done so moeh for us, awl the lung. in' I have to lie wid tho Brave boys that is ti4htio' acid dyin' fur us—Go I bless thew and rest their sowls! Oey wouldott have taken me from ye, only for the pov erty. But there was no work, and 1 couldn't see ye starve. o kiss me bir deen, an' don't be frettin' like that," And the stout young iriS,lrgan bent over his - yr ang wife and drew her head - agniiist his bwotn. It was a dreary room in which they sat—a shabby, comfortless apartment at the summit of one of' those crowded ten ement houses which disgrace New York. The plaster, which the "agent'' true to the habits of his class, "wouldn't mend at all at all," was gone in many places, and the ceiling was black in one great spot where it had rained in. A table, a chest, three shabby chairs, and a tub or• two, completed the furniture ut the room. 'e only tidy tbiig for the eye to ~rest upon was a great feather bed, its sheets of coarse linen white as snow, and its counter;iatie bright and neatly spread— the pride and glory of i a mistress—in the midst of which a young babe slum bered peacefully, As she looked towards this treasure, and the greater one upon it Nora's simple thou g hts burst foistb it words. $. Oh, Brian, I'd have sold the bed, even ! I'd havLi given up the decent lows uw mother gill me I I'd uut have eared if it was iur yuu ! 1 d have asked for a bite and a sup iron) dour to duo"— though its what none of mine ever came to I d have done anything not to part from ye, and me all alone in this eowld hearted city. •• Don't fret so, Nora. The mar will be over coati, and I'll be back, and work will be plenty ; and you will be prouder of we, knowilig 1 wasn't amoward, afraid to do my duty." " I Inver thought that of ye, always knew ye was brave and strong. And how can ye be so sure of livin' in the midst of wicked cannon balls and bullets? And hasn't the old orayther below stairs lost a son already with the terrible fever they say is in them southern. places ? Brian, by sure heart tells me that our parting N. 0.11 be forever in this world." Then we'll meet again in the nest, Nora I don't hay death. God will take iny breath when he pluzes, here or there. There are only two thoughts that make my heart sink this blessed night." " And what's thitn, Brian r" " Una, your sorrow, bird,een ; the other I scarcely like, to speak .of, If it had been - iu tuy, tuind along at theoOrst, web. be I'd not have enlisted with so stout a heart. There's worse than death to a ,strong young man, Nora,' Ile had arisen, and"stood with hie area abitut his pretty weeping wile. ,Her blue eyes were turned_up_to.his_; tie baud, hardened by household drudg ery, but shapely still, was in his own. lie clasped her closer, and his voice trembled as he spice. • "If sunte of thin bullets and ba)le ye talk of, darlin't, should hit we, not to kill but toinaitu me, Nora; if I should edam home to ye a cripple—.B poor, helpless erayther, with inutile' left of good Wks, or of strength;• if ye'd harp to think, when ye leuke4 at We, -Is that the straight strung boy 'that I married, 'changed in such a hate while, as - though the fairies had had a spite at him and touched him 4v-iitt their wands?,' • :New, Nora, do you ye'd lope on lOyint, me, or wouldn't ye wish yo'd married the equireen, him chat wanted ye so long; and loved ye. so trite, and that ye refustd far :a poor hey that must, go'so,jeringto kape'ye and the PARaia HIOS LIEWB a!APOEHAT Catagittig. bit of a-baby-froin-starviut, Spake r Nora, and spike as true as if it was your last words." "I'd love ye always, true and tender, Brian, whatever happened, as long as I had life to love anything. But, oh der lint ! why need you lave me ?' Why need there be this war and these sore hearts— many of them, I know, aro :whin' this blessed night—in a country that seemed so peaceful when we cainc to it?" " Sure it was paceful, Nora, and it would be yet, only for the don Me-dyed traitors that have turned against the come try all good men ate proud of. and it will be again, when the brave northern boys have shown them that working men with honest hearts are better than a set of reb els, no matter how soft their bawls may be, or how prowl they are of owning flesh and blood—their own sometimes. Come cheer up, Nora c before ye know it be back again; and mind. if it's with a wood en Ibg, ye'r not to love me less fir it." lie tried to laugh, but she could not summon up an answering smile, Years seemed to have come over her in a few short hours. I ler torn heart-strings throbbed and bled—only a woman and a wife could comprehend her anguish. There have been a great many *poems written by poets skilled in portraying hu man passions. Grief in kingly robes has walked the stage and moved its touched spectators in sympathising tears, But all this mimic woe is nothing to that within the heart of this poor woman, a girl in years, poor, humble, untaught, the child of that race which, next to the negro, h-s suffered most, from oppression injustiee,mnd contempta . simple TriSlt wonzun, who coald neither read nor write. Midnight came. Ile, the soldier of to morrow, slept well and soundly, but his wife never closed her eyes. AIL night she laid upon her pillow lulling her babe upon her bosom and thinking of the hap py past, the miserable present, and the dread mysterious future. Sometimes the dawning hope would steal across her heart that all might be well, but in a me went fear would blot out the bright pic ture and leave nothing but shadows. .1 le would go to that terrible and to her mys terious battl i-field, and she would never see or hear from him again. This was all that Nura's aching eyes could discern amidst the shadows of the time to come. IVinfry• days followed this weitry night Tiae preparations flu- departure, the sight of Brian in his uniform, the knapsack with its contents, the terrible death deal irg one and all were so many st,,bs to poor Nora's heart, and at last the day and hour which were to part Orem name. I ' h , ll all the lomrsustained lovritudo forzook her arid 6.-irt, the pissionate, moaning lamentation which women of her nation make above the dead, she clung to him, imploring him not to leave her, and struggling with the strong hand that tried to unclasp her li~,gerv, until aC last, by — the passion of her grief, she fell powerless to the floor. Brian placed his wife in the arms of a kind neighbor st..nding near, pressing one long kiss upon her now un conscious face, strode out of the room and down the creaking stairs, blinded by snob tears as are no shame to the eyes of bravo men. The long procession was on its way; drums beat and bugles Waived. The stars and stripes were flung upon the air, and hundreds of fond hearts were aching miserably. From the iron Jailings of Union Square to those which encompass the City Hall, a dense throng filled the sidewalks or Broadway. Human beings were perched upon every practicable point of observation, and women and children of every nation struggled amidst the crowd of men and boys. Now from the dense mass one figure made i;s way towards the trampling rows of soldiery, and above the murmur of the crowd one voice would rise, uttering a beloved name. Brief embraces, hasty, grasps of loving hands: There was time for mouthing wore, but these took place momentarily. Aye, and from those win dows bend elegantly dressed ladies, weep ing, unre,trainedly as the pool oil woman in the street below, and many 'a gallant officer dare not look that-way, lest the face so dear to him, or the baby voice uttering "Papa in its sweet treble, should quite unman him. • There was a pause. The music teas• es. The ranks are motionless for a. I Fief space of time Some order flies along time column; in a moment the tap of the drum will send them marching oil again. 'Tis but a little while, but in that instant a slender form makes its way through the crowd and looks with its frightened eyes up and down the line. It is Nora: her bonnet half off, her ~golden hair falling over her face—her great plaid shawl wrapped about her in such awkward folds as only an Irishwoman's shawl - can assume, but pretty still to„ any eye, and beautiful to the one who holds his arms towards her.: "Nora! my blessed Nora !" She flies towards him, she hides.herself in his great bosom. "I couldn't part so," she sobbed. "I'm net wild like any More; only sorry and• sere-beartcd. And' Mrs. Murphy mind• ed the baby; and, thank Heaven !it wasn't too late. 'Oh 1 good bye, dear —good bye I" "Good-bye I" The drums beat, the column moves again-. It is all that Brian can do. to un• fold his arms - and leave her, but he nerves himself to the act by ono long kiss and marches on--looking back to see her, forget rut of - stranger eyes, of the unwon tedsacne of.everything on earth save him, standing, - With' her urine outstretched toward him and her disheveled hair glettininff in sunlight like •almlo—anLun tidy Irish girl to other eyes, perhaps; but to his a beautified vision never to bo forgotten I . Nora' was alone, with ono comfort at her heart. She couldn't read, but Brian could write, and_Would 'write to her. Peter Morson, the cobbler at tho • corner --4 good-hearted old Man, with what_ she •tgouglit, "a dale of larnin".—Would read CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1860. her letters for-her; -and he, too, had-vol unteered to see that the little money for %villa!' Brian bad placed his life-in peril was duly placed•at her disposal. If the pennies had been so many diamonds they would have been worth nothing in com parison with those blotted missries,which Peter read and re-read to her until she got them by heart, and whie'a she wore afterwards against her bosom—those blesi ed letters. And so weeks passed on, and ,though Nora was sad she was truibe hopeful. - Pe ter, the cobbler, was high authority, and he always declared that Brian wetild. — them confounded Southerners, and come home mebbe a gineral." And: BO the young wife waited d prayed. * But a new trial was to come upon her. Peter was taken ill. At first h `read the. letters for her .in bed; then lie- could read' ne longer, and finally he diiitl. • lie was her only friend in the great city, and she -mourned bitterly for him. Well she !night. Who was to read her letters now ? Who to be her guardiari-in that matter of Shillings and sixpences' which had parted , her from Brian The letters, being in her possession, she managed to -have read to her, but the money had al ways been a mystery to her. There is no living being so helpless as an ignorant young Irish woman in a strange country. A Yankee baby, with a wooden—nutmeg in his pocket, would make its_ fortune add find its way in any city; but put a full-grown Irish woman on a Yankee wharf, and she is robbed and swindled, misdirected, bewildered, starved_and run over immediately. Time munesandresi donee of her are enigmas she cannot solve, and she caanot•disnover the whereabouts of her own brotffer until some charitable soul advertises for him, and sends her to him, directed like a paper parcel How is it to be Wondered at when her must lucid informatin on the subject is that he "lives somewhere in Arneriky, or mobby it was Canady." Poor Nora gave up all horn s of getting I any money, and took in washing. "Per haps," she said to herself; "seine one would write a letter for her to Brian, and 11.! would tell her what to do." But alas troubles w.:re thickening about her. No letter came. One week, two weeks, three weeks—a month passed ,hy— and not one word reached her anxious ears. She thought she should go mad. Some ono whispered the word "post Ace," and thither Nura wont, morningiud even ing, with her baby in bar arms. If the gentleman at the "ladle's 'window' . was amiable he spoke kindly ; if',,not, he snarled at her—just as he ehoser!fer they' have free license in such matte 8y.., 04>u her , J ,1. 1 f,7yrro. in its rough, awkward. shawl, and\ her golden hair bursting out of her little bonnet, were accustomed sights on the post-office stops. Now and then some delicate lady would eye her scornfully, pr - some - dapper el erk - world discover - that "the gal had.° pretty face ;" but neither scorn nor admiration troubled Nora. Sometimes hoping, sometimes despair• ing, always loving earnestly and truly, she sat there on the worn brown steps "waiting for a letter from Brian," and asking every ono if they had heard of it Oh ! how thin she grew, that poor young mother, with grief' and insufficient food, and the clamorous wants of her hungry baby. Ti be white cheek was hollow and the little hati, transparent; and one old apple woman on the corner, who knew from sad experienee what pov,rty and woe could do, shook her head and said that "that poor little body wouldn't come much longer for her letters :" It was a bright spring day. Nora sat at her accustomed post. waiting and watching as usual. Suddenly she sprang to her feet—an officer was approaching. She remembered the face and the uni fortu in an instant : it was a captain of Brian'sre B riment—one who had been hied to him, who had once uttered friendly words to her. He did not know her, but she rushed toward him and clutched his garments in her hands " It's Captain Grey l'' she Sure, Pm not mistaken—it's Captain Grey." "That is my name," said the officer; " arid yours?''_ " Brion Donohne's wife, sir. Is the war over?--are they coming home? You're hero—will the rest be here soon ? ' " I am litre because I could not help coming,' answered the captain, with gI ince at the right sleeve, which Nora had not noticed to be empty before,— " The war is net tow, n.ly child, nor the men coming honao yet." "'But I'm Brian Donohne's wife, and I've had no letter from biro for all this . weary while; and , you can tell Inc if he's - or—God purtect ael..rvihether he's dead. Brian Donehtte§ou know him, sure." " I remember bim," saikthe captain, and his voice faltered. " Where is he ? Oh, yerlo nor, where is he .?" The officer took her hand. " Come with me," ho said•; and leading her up the brown steps into the little covered en trance to that portion of the building de voted to ladies' letters, .he stood leaning against the wall, looking at her with trembling eyes. Ho too had a wife, blue• ey dd and golden-haired as Nora, and the battered bonnet and awkward shawl could not make him forget the wearer was a woman. :1 know Brian well," lie said' "Try to bear what I moat doll you with forti tude." " Oh, not bad' news ; please not bad nOws, yer honor 1" , , " It is bad," he said; "try to bear it" She shut her teeth over her lips, and looked at_hituln silence." "-When I_ as wouatled,".the dicer, wept on, -"Balm was wounded also° , "Like-you 7"_ said. Nora. " No : Most an arm—liowas wounded. in .therside , • "In the side? • ' Oh,.

I think—rhey think he can scarcely live." " Oh, God have mercy ?" " J3e still.; try to bear it. They said he would not could not—They may have mistakew ; doctors sometimes are," "'The doctors said it ?" asked Nora, in a strange voice, calm and hollow. "The groat army doctors—the surgeons like ?" " Yes. Hush I it may not be. God may choose to spare him to you." " No," Moaned the poor woman, "no, them kind knows Brian's dead.

A Ghost Story A gentleman took a fancy to a certain elegant villa in a charming part of bne of the lovliest counties in England. On in quiring about the rent it seemed to him so extraordinarily low, that he objected to take it, suspecting that there moat be something radically wrong in the building. Tho proprietor assured him there was nothing of the kind, but informed him that the objection in the neighborhood to the villa was that it had the reputation of being haunted. He laughed at the vulgar superstition, and at once accepted the terms and moved into the cottage. He was not very long in it before his do domestics infortaed_him of strange noises which they had repeatedly heard in the night. They had distinctly listened to the opening of a door, and heard the steps of a man ascending the stairs. Anoth er door was then opened,• water was poured out, and the washingof hands distinctly, audible After a short time the windw was opened and the water 'was thrown out; the window was then closed, and, shortly after, steps were heard descending, and the house door opened and closed. This, the 'servants, deckled, they had severally and collec tively listened to numerous times. Th, gentlenian could not gainsay their state ments ; for himself and his wife had at /different times listened to the same un accountable proceedings. On ono occasion, particularly, on the arrival of the ghost at the house door, several persons went out to meet him Ho ascended, as usual the staircase ; went through the regular ablutions, and departed eaves his custom. But, though they followed lam ; thoir ears alone were convinced of the presen co of seam being. They could see nothing, notwithstanding ! every one •of the party was provided with a light. These nocturnal visits were continued so regularly that the gen tleman was at last compelled to abandon the villa, for the simple reason that no servant would remain with him.

When I took a rib and started house keeping, my mother said, "Joe, never do something tor nothing, and look well after a pack of lazy huzzies that run from house to house gathering scandal, and helping their neighbors through with short din ners—for they always hcippen, to call at weal times. 6hun thew,„ I say, Joe, or they will bankrupt you, separate you from your wife, and finally drive you out of house and home. Its all true, doe, what I say. You have only seen the world in miniature yet. I have seen both sides and almost With ends." Welt, thinks 1 to myself, the old lady has been behind the curtain—has bad bad neighbors, and was growing childish in the bargain. 1 had rather a liking for a friend now and then; but -had never yet been to housekeeping..

Nererthele.s 1 thought I could' mould my wife to any own views in due course of time. As time advanced the more I thought of my mother's advice, for I have learned to respect her opinions—always taking into consideration the goodness of heart of my wife, and the possibility of sharp ers and meddlers one day getting the best of her by too mach confidence on her part Still I had faith in her good sense and the purity of her motives; besides I felt a match for anything that I should oome in contact with, especially in man. aginr , and controling my own affairs. My wife was beloved by everybody, and especially these meddling, living machines who grow fat by pushing their long noses into everybody's business but their own ; for, as my mother told we they began to grow troublesome within a 'few Months,. and their frequent calls were anything but pleasant, and at times, when least ex pected or wanted—just dropped in—sorry to trouble you at meal times, but eau never refuse to take a meal with a friend, although just left the table—ono relishes a weal out better than at home—add a thousand such excuses of the kind would ring upon my ears from these strolling gunboats-, that seem to have been formed to annoy their unfortunate acquaintances and neighbors. . .11 my wife was sick, the house would be run down with anxious friends enquir ing about her health and offering their services, when above all things their very presence was detested, "Ting-a-ling-o hne goes the bell again, and off starts the servant half-mad.

' AN INTETLF.STING CHAPTER.-It was the practice of an eccentric Irish divine to read a chapter before the sermon; and, to the amazement of his auditory, ho re quested them to reed with him one day, 4 for edification,' the • first twenty-seven verses of the tenth chapter of Nehemiah.
