REAMER i DECEMBER D, 1864 Freedom of Thought and Opinion. BEDFORD, PA„ FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 28, 1865. ! THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING. "This must be the last -if your wedding gifts, Vaninka, said Madaui Brentano, handing a ' package to her daughter, % *as you are to uo married to-morrow, and it is now quite late j in the evening. I think there will be no more." "Mother," said the young girl, in a frighten ed tone, holding up a small jet necklace, the ! contents of the package, "see it is black ! It is ominous. Oh, what grief can be in store for Henry uridine?" "None, none, Y aninka,! this is m..re folly,'' ; said her mother in a tone of rebuke. But it was some minutes before the .voung maiden recovered her calmness. Then, con quering her weakuess by a violent elFort, she said, lightly : "I am not silly, ruolher! You will laugh when I tell you it; but my blood ran cold, and my flesh seemed to creep as I touched this bau ble, as it had been a serpent. See, Ido not mind it now?" Vaninka Brentano was the only child of a wealthy Prussian commoner. She had been long betrothed to Henry W'erder, a young offi cer in the Prussian army: but owing to the wars in Europe their wedding had been long I delayed. Now, however, there was peace and ibe lovers were to be united the dav after the one toward the end of which my story com- ' inenccs. Vaninka was devotedly attached to her betrothed, and too happy at the near ap proach of their nuptials, to allow the n cklace ' to disquiet her long. ILr parents left the 1 room, and throwing herscif into a chair, she j' leaned her hear! against its back, and sank into ■ a reverie, JR-I lingers- uiechanic.illy playing the wiiiie vviih her last gift. It was eas/ to see that her reflections were of a pleasant nature tor, ever and auon a beautiful smile stole over her features, and lading gradually awav, stili left the same expression of quiet haopinoss. .She had been sitting there sometime, whv.it an other per? on entered tlie room. The intruder was u young, handsome man, dre-aed in full 1 Tils.-• to uniform. His face was pale, and W- agi cited took, stroi.gly contrasting ..it!; the peaceful smile on Vaninka's lips. ; She ciid not hear him cuter, and he stood for u moment looking, with his eyes beaming with ' tenderness upon her, then with the air of a man who has a distressing duty to perform, he "I did not expect you this evening; has any- : tiling happened V' "Much, much, Vaninka. Sit down again, and I will take this stool at your feet. Sly own beloved, I carne to tell you that our wed- j ding must be postponed." "Our wedding ?" cried the astonished girl. j "Even so! Y'ou are astonished, perhaps hurt; have I told you abruptly ? Look in my face, Vaninka. and sea what I have suffered before I would grieve you with my bad news." ! "But Henry, Ido not understand. Why must we wait still longer ?" "Because I must leave you in twenty min utes." "Leave me?'' "Yes! Napoleon has left Elba, and is even now in Paris ; our troops leave the city in bait i an hour." "Henry! am I awake?" "No, no, Henry, you are not in earnest. Ah !" she said, shud dering as she caught sight of the necklace, "1 said it was ominous ! I—-I—Henry, you can- j not leave me. To-night, too ! the very night before the wedding." "Vaninka !" lie cried, straining her to his breast, "I must go ; see tiie clock points to the I time I set to leave you.—Vaninka! Hie has j fainted! Bel ter so' And kissing her pale face 1 again and again, he laid her on the sofa and went in search of her parents. A few words told them ail, and bearing their fervent bles- I sings, he departed. Weeks passed, and Vaninka heard nothing ; from her lover. She grew pale and thin ; her j movements were languid and her former light j step grew slow and heavy. She no longer sang at her work but would let her hands fall list lessly into her lap, and heave deep sighs, while | sometimes the great tears rolled unheeded down her cheeks. At length there came the news of the battle ; of Waterloo; Napoleon had been defeated, and all Europe was ringing with the tidings, i Vaniuka's suspense now amounted to agony. "Ilenry!" she would cry, "is he.killed ! O, when will be come ?" One morning when she was seated with her mother, sewing, she was told that a Prussian officer wanted to see her. With her heart trembling between fear and hope she obeyed the summons. As she slowly entered the room, a stranger rose, and advanced to meet her. "Mademci-elle Brentano ?" he inquired, bow ing. "The same. Will you be seated, sir?" "I am Frederick Listen: I served in the bat -1 *.! Eot Waterloo, in the same regiment with i Henry Werder, and he requested me to deliver this to you." And as he finished, he placed a small package in her hands. "Why don't lie come himself ? lie is not dead * Oh, say lie it> net dead !" she said in a voice of such imploring agony that the young soldier felt the tears ruse in tiis eyes. "Lady," he said, in a sad tone, "Henry (eli at Waterloo 1" She did not scream nor faint, but sank into ■ the chair near her, with only a moan of agony. ! He mistook her silent, tearless agony for calm j ncss, and began to relate the particulars of tils 1 comrade's death, and delivered his dying mes -1 sage to his betrothed Vaninka heard every • word, but she neither spoke nor stirred, but ; with her eyes fixed on the little package lie had | given her. He left her, and her mother fouud I her, half an hour after, still in the same po ! sition. i "Vaninka," she said, "who was your visitor*' There was no answer. "Vaninka I" she said again, "are you ill !" j and she laid her hand gently upon her arm. j "Dead, mother, dead !" she said, now rais ing her eyes. "YVho is dead, dai-liug?" asked her mother, frightened at her strange tone. Vaninka slowly opened her package, and drew out the ring and hair it contained, and murmuring "Henry ! Oh, mother, he is dead !" j she fell .-ebbing in her mother's arms. #**-**! We change the scene now to Waterloo in the : latter part of the battle between the armies of 1 Napoleon and Wellington. The morning we choose was the one in which the Imperial Guard of the Emperor threw themselves between the advancing Prussian forces and the English army to prevent their joining their forces. Henry Werder, at the head of his regiment, felt lus heart throb with intense excitement, as the two immediate columns, the flower of the French army, advanced upon the English troops. They came on iu silence, until within range of the ! batteries prepared to receive them ; then a ter- 1 rifle di.-ebarge, seeming to rend heaven and earth, ' scattering death among their ranks. Still these J veterans advanced. The honor oi their nation was in peril; they could die, but not turn be- ' fore the enemy; another discharge of the Prus sian troops, who had been rapidly nearing the scene of action, then flashed amongst them.— 1 Garde Iraperiate de Napoleon was utterly annihilated. One exultant shout was raised by 1 the aiiied armies, as this fearful crisis was decid- ! ed in their favor. But where, in the moment of victory, was ' Ilenry ? Stretched upon the field, his head sup- ! ported by his fcfiow officer, Frederick Liston, 1 and the life blood flowing from a wound in his ' brea-;. "Fr'di-rivk," bo murmured in a dying voice, ■ '•you will see V aninka." ' if i live," answered his comrade with deep ! ciaot ion. -111 give her this ring, and cut some oi' ! my hair oil' for Is r.

U "Dead;' said Frederick, "and I must leave ' Idm here.'' j j Frederick was mistaken. Henry was not N,r a " afto -1 \ For . A his life bung tipoa a thread, then! . a young constitution triumphed, and he began • to mend. His physician positively forbade his ; returning to i*russia, and warning him that his j i , lungs were much affected, he recommended a • : winter in Italy. Writing a loug letter to Van-} , ' ink a to explain his long absence, Henry made his preparations, and alter an iiiness of over. M-ree months, started in the early part of Oelo- j , ber fov Naples, lie remained there, gaining j ; strcngtli and health until the next June, and then j j started fur home. During his residence in Italy, j . he had wrLya again and again to both Vaninka 1 and Frederick, and wondered why he had re-j ; ceived no letter in answer. His epistles never ! reached them. * * * * MM NVe now return to Vaninka. Contrary to ! ' the fears of her friends, she had seemed to bear her loss witii calmness. She had been so iocg in a state of agonizing suspense, that any cer tainly, even this direful one, was a relief. Still I her amp did not regain its elasticity, and her i grief, if not loud was deep. Her friends mis- j took despair for calmness. She grew paler and i thinner, and now frequently kept her room for I 1 days together. i Her lover had been gone some eight months, when her hand was again sought in marriage. I Geo. Weimar was a gentle, mild old man of a-; bout seventy years of age, wealthy, and of large I I influence in his native town. lie was an old i ! friend of Vauinka's father, and had long thought ! iof seeking Vaninka (or his bride. When, how- t ! ever, he had seen the place coveted about to bo worthily filled, be had kept silent on the subject i of his desires, and cultivated the acquaintance j of his lady love's betrothed. Now, deceived as j others were by Vaninka's quiet demeanor, he ' advanced his suit. Her parents knowing that i he would spare no pains or expense to make 1 her happy, urged their child to accept his offer, j and she consented to see him. I "Mr. Weimar," she said, "I wish to tel! you ' how grateful I feel for your kind and flattering | oiler, and to place my situation fully before you. ; Since I heard of my irreparable loss, I have felt that I should soon join him ; still I have endeavored faithfully to perform the duties left to me. Ido not think 1 shall live long. But if I can by any means add to the happiness of another, God has granted me the will to do so. li" you will accept my hand, knowing that iny : heart is in Henry's grave, it is yours, and I will endeavor to fulfill my duties us a wife, | trusting to jour love and indulgence to for- i give if I fail to make you happy while I am with i : you." j i The good old man was too happy to have his j offer accepted on any terms and he thanked her I warmly. A day was soon sot for the wedding, \ and all things were making ready. Mr. Weimar hoped, by travelling and other ; diversions of her mind, to raise bis bride's spirits i und prolong her life. Again it was the night before Vaninka's wed ding, and again she was seated, lost in thought, . in the same chair that we first saw her in. Now, • alas, the reverie was a very painful one, and i low, choking sobs took the place of her former • happy smiles.—She was sitting, painfuily reflect < ing on the past, when a shadow fell on thegrouod t before her, and raising her eyes, she saw a 1 stranger standing looking at her. He stood I with bis back to the light, and she could cot - see his face, but something made her heart stand still as she arose to greet him. lie only said one '' word. "Vaninka!" and exclaiming, "Henry!" W IEH.E \ UMII £ 22, 3107 J she sprang to his embrace. lie caught her pas j sionately to his breast, and held her there as if j she feared another separation. | 'ho,' said a pleasant voice at the door, bhere | is a change of bridegrooms,' and Mr. Weimar entered the room. Vaiiinka stood a moment , confused, but taking her hand he placed it in Henry's, saying, "Take her, Henry; she is too young good and handsome for an old man like I myself. I was an old fool to think of it. Take j her, and my warmest blessings attend your u nion." And with a kind, beaming smile, the old man left them together. This time Vaninka's wedding was not post poned, and as ilenry and Vaninka stood before the altar. Mr. Weimar, watching the happy, blushing face of the bride, owned that he could not have called up, with ali his devotion, such p.n expression of perfect love and joy. ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES AN OTHER. A tinker was traveling in a country town, and having traversed many miles without find ing anything to do, he stopped weary and hun gry fst a tavern. Here he got into conversa- ! tion with a glazier, to whom he related his trou-; hies. The latter sympathised with him deeply, and telling him he should have a job before long, advised him to go into his dinner and eat heartily. The tinker took his advice, ate his ; fill, and when he returned to the bar room he : was overjoyed to hear that the landlord requi- i red his services to mend a lot of pans and ket tles, which had suddenly "sprung a leak." ! The tinker at once set to work, accomplished j ' the task, and retrieved a liberal sum therefor, j ! and started on his way rejoicing. Upon reach- j i ing ih - ouf-ide of the house he found the gla- I zier, wh > said : "Well, you see 1 told the truth, I procured you a job of work, and how do you think I at- \ i coinplished it 7" "1 am sutc I cannot tell," re: iied the tinku. "I will tell you," rejoined the glazier.—"Yon j told m you vvore weary, hungry and penniless j i knew the ianjlord was well off and doing a ' i g ~ i business, so i watched the opportunity j and started a leak in every tin utensil i could i get hold of." < j The titikef, with many th tr.'u an ' a heart [ ful 1 of gratitude, resumed his journey, but he i had not proceeded many yards before he reach- c cd the village church, when a brilliant idea ! cii'ki sight h.ss in ' i a good cause, so taking a position where bej could rot be seen, he riddled every window in j the ediiice with 3toncs, and then, highly elated ' with liis exploit, he retraced his steps to notify j the glazier be would speedily have a very its-: portant job. '•Sir," said lie, "I am happy to inform you ! that fortune has enabled me to return the kind- ' ness I received from yon an hour since." "How so ?" asked the glazier, pleasantly. "I have brokeu every pane of in the church," answered the tinker, -'and you of course will be employed to put th?rn in again." j The glazier's jaw fell, and Lis face assumed ; a blank expression, as ho said in a tremulous j tone, "You don't mora that, do you ?" "Certainly," replied the tinker; "there isn't j a whole pane of glass in the building. One j good turn deserves another, you know." ••Yes," answered the glazier, in a tone of ut-j tor despair; "but you infernal scoundrel, you ; have ruined me, for I keep the church win- • dows in repair by the year." 1 DECIDEDLY COOL. A Beaton lady, who had a somewhat Bach analiau spouse, resolved to frighten him into temperance. She therefore engaged a watch l man for a stipulated reward to carry "Philan \ der" to the watch-house, while yet in a state of insensibility, and to frighten him a little when ha recovered. In consequence of this ar rangement lie awoke up and found himself on his elbow. He looked around unlil his eyes rested on a man sitting by a stove and smoking a cigar. , "Where am I?" aked Philander. "In a medical college," said the cigar smo ker.
