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."

ciaot ion.

Frederick was mistaken. Henry was not

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 ;

£<rNegro troops did not take Richmond, after
all the boastings of the Abolitionists. Though
the negroes hud been carefully kept out of the
fight, (only one division of them being engaged
at all, and that on the South side of the James,)
for the special purpose, no doubt, of being al
lowed to sneak into Richmond by the backdoor,
as soon as all the Confederates had been with
drawn to oppose the white soldiers of Grant's
army, and thus rob the glorious old army of tbo
Potomac of the honor of "taking Richmond,"
it seems that the blacks could not be trusted to
enter even a city empty of armed enemies, with
out sending forward a few white men to clear
their path of unknown dangers; and therefore
! the cavalry division of Gen. Kautz were the
| first Federal troops to march into the citadel of
J Secessia, planting their guidons upon the capi
j tol at 8 o'clock on the morning of the evacua-
I tiou (April 3). The division is composed of the
Fifth and Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, the
Fixst New York Mounted Rifles and the First
District of Columbia Cavalry. These troops
are as worthy of the honor as the negroes are
unworthy of it. The Eleventh Pennsylvania
| Cavalry, more especially, has won for itself,
during the war, a name and fame of which
Pennsylvanians may well be proud. Under the
brave and dashing Col. Samuel P. Spear, this
regiment was known and dreaded by the Rebels
as "Spear's Cavalry;" and many a time have
the ranks of the "chivalry" dissolved before
their fierce sabre charges like mist before the
sun. Yet, with all his important services, (hav
ing commanded with credit a brigade, and fre
quently a division, for three years past, Colonel
Spear has r.ever been honored with the well
earned star of a Brigadier General. He is nuvy
lying in a hospital, somewhere, suffering from
