HOW TWO HEARTS WERE MADE HA WY
One day, a good many years ago
a young woman knocked at the
door of a little cottage in the sub
urbs of the. town of, '2s ewcastle up
on the Tyme. The knock was im
mediately responded to. by the open
ing of the door within. An aged
woman, neatly dressed and who had
evidently risen from her wheel, was
the sole inmate of the little cot.
“Bless your heart,(girl,” said the
dame, as she entered with her visi
tor and sat down to her wheel again :
“there must sorely - be something
particular about you to-day, for you
did not use to knock,”
“I was afraid some one might be
with you,, mother.” said tire girl,
who had taken.a.seat apposite to the
spinner. -I
“And though wneighbor had been
here” replied the dame, “this surely
would’nt have frightened you away.
But the truth is you! have got some
thing to say to me,.Catherine,” con
tinued the speaker, kindly; “out with
it my dear and depend upon the
best counsel that old Hannah can
give.” -
The young woman blushed, and
did not immedih^ 6^ B
“Has William ,Hditou asked you
to be his wife, Catherine ?” said the'
dame, who easily and rightly antici
pated the matter was Jn the.
mind of her youthful visitor.
“He has mother," was the reply.
The old woman ; began to birr
earnestly at the wheel.
. “Well, my dear,” said she, alter a
short pause, “is not this what you
have long expected—ay, and wished?
He has your heart; and so I sup
pose it needs no witch to tell what
will be the hud dnkr •
This may he all very true, but
there was something upon Cather
ine's mind which krgggled to he
out, and out it-came. “Bear Han
nah,” said she, searing herself close
bv tbe'dam&gud tdkmghold of her
hand, “you have been a kind friend,
a parent—to me, since fiiy own poor
mother diedj aud I lave no one else,
to look to for advice but yourself.
I have not given William an answer
and would not till | had spoken to
you; especially as somctlung—as
you once said—” i- ;
' “What did I say> Catherine?” in
terrupted the old woman ; “nothing
against the man you Jove, surely.
He is from all that I have seen and
heard, kindhearted, industrious and
every way well be&ave<L”
“Yes Hannah” replied the young
woman, “but you fence said, after 1
had brought him .once of twice to
see you that yOU did not hke those
—those sorts of low fits that some
tinfes fall upon him even' in com
pany. I have pftfeu noticed them
since, Hannah;'’ continued Cather
ine, with a sigh.
■ “Blague on my ; old thoughtless
tongue for saying any such thing to
vex you, my dear child. Heed not
so careless speech, Catherine- He
wasa soldieryou kiow,a good many
years ago—before he was twenty
.and fought for his country. He
may have seen sights then that make
him grave to think upon, without
the least cause for. blaming hifeisell.
But whatever it niay be I mean not,
Catherine,! that you should take
such a passing weird to heart. If he,
has some little cares, you will easily
seothe them and make him happy. ’
As the sss£ ? Wue 6pdks» der
* ALTOONA, PA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1865..
visitor’s brow gradually cleared, ,i
aud, after florae farther conversa
tion, Catherine left the cottage ligh
tened at heart with the thought that J
her old friend approved of her -fol
lowing the course to which her in
clinations led her. Catherine Smith
was, indeed, well entitled to pay re
spect to the , counsels of Hannah.
The .latter never had been married,
and spent the greater part of her
life iu the service of a wealthy fam
ily at Morpeth. When she was
there the widdowed mother of Cath-
erine hud died in Newcastle, and on
learning of the circumstance, Han
nah, though a friend merely, and
no relation, had sent for the orphan
girl, then about ten years ofage, and
had taken care of her till she grew
lit to mantain herself by service.
Onfindiiig herself unable to ootinue
a working life longer, Hannah had
retiredtbNe wcastle, her native place,
where she lived in humble comfort,
ou the earnings of her longHareer
of servitude. Catherine came back
with her to Newcastle, and immedi-
ately entered into service there.
Hannah and Catherine had been two
years in their respective situations
when the dialogue which has been
recorded took place.
Ou the succeeding expiry of her
te rm-of service, Catherine was mar-
ried to the young man whose name
ias been stated as being William
Hutton. He was a joiner by trade
and bore, as Hannah had said, an
excellent character. The first visit
paid by the newly married pah was
to the cottagd,. of the ■ old woman,
who gazed ou ' thorn wifli a. truly
maternal pride, thinking she had
never seen so handsome a couple.
The few years spent by Hutton in
the army had given to his natural
good figure an erect manliness, which
looked as wcl I in one of Uis as
die fa^igtt.graceful.figure, and timv
ingenious countenance of Catherine
was calculated to adorn one of wo- .
mankind, isoruething of this.kind
at least, was in-the thought*-of old
Hannah when Catherine ‘ and .her
husband visited the dame’s little
dwelling.
Many a future visit was paid by
these same parties to Hannah, and
on each successive occasion the old
woman looked narrowly,. l thong has
unobtrusively as possibe, in the state
of the young wife’s feelings—with
a motherly anxiety Ttp know if she
was ha|«jy. For, though Hannah—'
seeing Catherine’s affections to he.
deeply engaged, had made lightof her
own early remarks upon the strange
and most unpleasant gloom oecsion
ally if not in
the look and manner of William
Hutton,and the old woman had never
been able to rid her own mind alto
gether of misgivings upon the sub
ject. Hor many mojnths after Oath-1
erine’s rdarriage, however, Hannah
could discover nothing but open
unalloped happiness in ’the air and
conversasion of the youthful wife.
But at length Han nail’s anxious eye
did perceive something like a change.
Catherine seemed semethues to toll,
when visiting the cottage, into tits
of abstraction not unlike those which
had beep observed in her husband.
The aged dame felt greatly distres
sed at the thought of her dear Cath
erine being unhappy, but for a long
time held her peace upon the sub
ject, trusting that the cloud might
be a temporary one and would dis
appear.
It was not so, unfortunately.
Though in their manner to each
other, when together nothing hut
the most cordial affection was ob
servable. Catherine, when she,
came Malone to see Hannah, always
seemed a-prey to Some uneasiness s
which aH her efforts could pot con
ceal from her old friend. Even
when she became for the first tinie
a mother, and, with all the beauti
ful pride of a young mother’s love,
presented her babe to Hannah, the
latter could see signs of a secret
grief implanted on .Catherine’s brow,
Hoping by her counsels to bring re-
Tieh Hannah at last took an oppor
tunity to tell. the young; wife what
she had observed and besought her
confidence. At. first, .Catßhrine
stammered forth a hurried assu-,
ranee that she was perfectly happy,
arid in, a few seconds, 'belied her
words by bursting into tears and
owning that %be was yen- unhappy.
“But I cannot Hannah, ’g&e
- : U-'- -
[independent IK EVERTTHTNO.]
claimed, “I cannot tell the cause,
not even to you.” .
“Don't say so, my poor Cathe
rine,” replied Hannah ; “it is no cu
riosity that bids me interfere.”
“Oh, no, Hannah,” replied the
young wife, “I know you speak
from love to me I”
continued the dame,
“open your heart 1 to me. Age is a
good adviser.”
“Is your husband harsh ?” ashed
Hannah. N 1
“Xo, ; 'no,” cried the wife ; “man,
could not be kinder to woman than
he is to me.” v ' •
“Perhaps lie indulges in drink—
in private."
“Hannah you mistake altogether,’’
was Catherine's really; “my husband
is as tree from -all-such faults as ever
man was,
“My dear child,” said the old
woman, almost smiling us the idea
entered her head, “you are not sus
picions—not jealous—”
“I have never had a moment’s
cause, Hannah,” answered Cathe
rine. “Ho, my griefs;are,not of that
nature. He is pue pf the best ana
dearest of husbands.” -■
I S
Old Hannah was puzzled by these
replies as much us, she was distres
sed by the now open avowal ot
Catherine’s having some hidden
cause of sorrow; but, seeing that
her young friend could not make up
her mind to a disclosure at the time,
the aged dame gave up her inqui
ries, and told Catherine to think se
riously- of the propribty.of confiding
all ta her.
Hannah conceiyed that on matu
i%d consideration, Catharine would
come to the resolution of seeking
counsel at the cottage. And Hie
was not wrong. In a few days after
their late conversation, the young
wife came to visit Hannah again,
and after a little absent and embar
rassed talk,! entered -upon the. sub
ject which was uppermost in the
minds of both.
“Hannah*” said Catherine, “I
fcar you qln serve me nothing—l
fear no living being can serve me.
Oh, Hannah, good’ as my
appears to be—good as lie is—-there
is some dreadful weight pressing;
upon his mind, which destroys his
peace, and mine too. Alas! the
gloomy fits which you as well aV I
noticed in jbim, are not, I tear with
out a cause.” ‘ ,
Catherine yv’ept. in silence tor a
moment, and continued: >
. “All that of this, cause
arises from his expressions—his
dreadful expressions—while he is
sleeping by my side. Hannah! he
speaks in broken language of-Mur
der —of having committed murder!
He mutters about the ‘streaming
blood- that his hand drew from Hie
innocent victim! Alas! I have
heard enough to tell me that he
Seaks of a young woman. Oh !
annah 'perhaps a woraandpceived
and killed jby : him!”
A-a Catherine said.this, she shud
dered, and buried 'her face in that
of the hahe which she carried in her
arms!
Hauuahwasshocked at this, bu
her,good led her at once to
suggest, for the comfort of the poor
wife, that it was perfectly possible
for her husband to imagine himself
;a murderer m his sleep; amf speak
■of it without the slightest reality in
the whole affair. •
“All, Hannah',’’ ! said Catherine,
sadly, “these dreadful sayings are
not the result of one’s nightmare
slumber. They .occur ’otton—too
often. Besides, when I first hoard
him mutter in his sleep these horri
ble things, I mentioned the. matter
to him in the .morning at onr break
fast and iaugbed at it; bnt be grew
much agitated; and telling me to
pay no attention to such tilings, as
sometimes be talked nonsense, he
knew, in bis sleep, he rose and went
away, leaving Ids meal unfinished
indeed, scarcely touched. I am
sure be does dot know how often
he speaks in his sleep,, for I have
never mentioned the subject again
.though mV rest is destroyed it.
And then bis fits of sadness at ordi
nary moments I Hannah; Hannah .
,1 there'is some mystery-—some terri
! bio mystery under itYcsfeoiilhi
-1 tied the pqor young wife, he is so
good—kind—so dutiful- to God and
man. ' He has tod. ijiuch' tcudepxgss
. and feeling to harm a fly V Hannah
I •• tr
what am- I to think or do ? for i am
very wretched at present”
It was long ere the bid dune re
plied to this question. She mused
deeply on what had been told to
her, and in the end said to Cathe
rine :
‘‘My poor child I cannot believe
that William is guilty of what these
circumstances lay seemingly to his
door. But if the worst he true, it
is better for yon to know it than to
be in killing suspense forever, Ho
and gain his confidence, Catherine;
tell him all, everything that has
come to your ear, and say that yon
do so by advice.p
Hannah continued to use persua
sions of the same kind for some
time longer, add at length sent
Catherine home firmly resolved to
follow the counsel given her.
On the following day Catherine
again presented herself at theabode
of Hannah, and as soon as she en
tered exclaimed:' ; / i
“Dear mother, I have told him
all ! He will soon be here to ‘ex
plain everything to-us both.”
The old woman did not exactly
comprehend this. “Has he not”
said she* “given an explanation,
then, to you ?”
“No, Hannah,’ 1 said Catherine; j
“but, oh ! he,is not guilty. When
I -had spoken to him as you desired,
me, he was silent for a long time,
and he then took me in his frigs
and kissed me, saying “My darling
Catherine, I ought to have confided
in you long before, 1 have been un
fortunate, but not guilty. Ho to
blind‘Hannah's and I will soon fol
low you and set your minds at ease,'
so far as it can be done. Had I
known how much you had been
suffering I would haye ’ done this
long before.” These were his
words, Hannah. Oh, he may be
unfortunate,,but not,guilty.” ,
Hannah and Catherine said little
more to eaoh other, until the Ims
baud of tbe latter tp the cot
tage. William sat down gravely by
the side of hiswife, and commenced
to tell his stOry.
“The reasons of the; unhappy ex
clamations in sleep,” said he, |
“which have Weighed so much pn
my mind, my dear Catherine, -may
be very soon told: They arose from
a ci rcumstauee has .touch em
bittered toy peace, but whichihope,
is to be regarded'as a sad calamity,
rather than a Prime. When I en
tered the army, which I did -at the
age of nineteen, the recruiting party
to which I attached myself urfs pent
to Scotland, where we remained for
a few months,;-being' ordered again
to England, in order to be transpor
ted tij the Continent. One unhappy
morning, as we were passing out of
a town where we had restecT on pur,
march southwards, my companion
and I chanced to see a girl, appa
rently about fifteen; yearn of age,
washing clothes in a tub. Being
tlieu the most light-hearted among
the light Hearted? I tpok up ft Itogft
Stone with the intention dt splash
ing the water against the gir l. She
stopped hastily, and -shocking to
tell; when I threw the stone, it struck
her on the head, and, she fell to the
ground, with f fear lipr skull frac
tured. Stupified by what I had
done I stood gazing on the stream
of blood rushing from my poor vic
tim's head, when tcay companion
observing that no J 'bne had seen fis
(for it was then early in the morn
ing), hurried me off’. We were not
pursued, and were in a few weeks
on the continent; hut the image of
that bleeding girl followed me eve
rywhere; and since I caipe home I
have never dared to inquire into
the result lest suspicion should be
excited, and I should suffer for mur
der I Ford fear from the dreeful
nature of fhd blow, that the death
of that poor creature lies ft my
door I”
While Hutton was relating this
story, he had turned his eyes 'to xhe
win'dow ; butayhat was his aston
ishment, as he concluded, to hear
old Hannah cry alhud, “Tbapk
God ;” while his wife burst into a

and threw herself into hie amis.
