HOW I WON MY WIPE.
Jessie Hale was the merriest,
prettiest, most provoking daughter
of Eve that ever least I
thought so—though' perhaps X was
not an impartial judge, as I must
confess I was deeply in love,-—and,
in fact, I don’t believe I could re
member of a time when X was not
iu love with her. It certainly was
not when a youngster of twelve I
took her under my especial care,
feeling then prouder of my curly
headed charge than I could now of
a mine, of gold; iior when a tall,
awkward boy of sixteen, I first ven
tured to ask for her company home
from .church; or still later when,
after four years absence, I returned
to my native town, and set up as a
surgeon in the house where Dr.
Moore’s uame had been since my
earliest recollection.
Oakpbke was a remarkable place,

afraid to trust their lives in the
hands of soph a young scapegrace
as they had: known me to be, for my
horse and gig found more employ
ment in carrying; Jessie Hale to ride
than in any moreprohtable business;
and it is certain more of my time
was spent in Mr. Hale’s pleasant
■parlor than in either study -or prac
tice of medicine. Some of the
neighbors slyly remarked that I
must have a very sick patient there
to occasion such frequentvisits; and
I was certain that if Ihad ho patient'

was required there at times ; for of
all the tantalizing little wretches
that ever fascinated and provoked a
poor fellow—until he could not have
told -whether he were in the body
or out of it—Jessie : Hale was the
worst.

sewing, and humming some merry
tune to herself when I entered.—
She was Looking prettier than ever,
I thought; and T found it terrible
hard to talk pn commonplace sub
jects, when my life was so full of
the one so important to me.
At last I broke’ in upon some, of

“Why in the world, Jessie, don’t
you say whether you love me or
not ? What is the use of keeping a
tellow insuspense forever ? I believe
you dp—in rapt, I know you do.”
Here I was again malong a sim
pleton of myself. I might have
known she never would have told
me after that, but I did not under
stand woman, kind as well then as I
have done since.
“Oh 1 you do know, then, do you ?”
she said, coolly, with a merry twin
[nroi
years, and I hailed it with delight
now.
“But Jessie,” I thought—“could
I leave her ?”
A 'moment’s reflection showed me
what was needed, for if she really
eared for me, my absence would
make her willing to acknowledge it.
It did not take long tomake my ar
rangements, and before night they
were all completed,, and the next
morning I started for the station,
calling at Mr.. Hale’s on my way to
bid-Jessie good-bye. I could see the
littlp witch did not believe one word
of the story I told her.
“Ihope, Mr. Will, you won’t break
your arms in the train; it would make
it so bad tor you,” she sa;d with a
queer smile; as I concluded.
“And you not there to cure it?”
I retorted. “But" seriously, Jessie,
l am in earnest now. It is probable
I shall not see you again for years
and if J like the place I shall remain
there.
She still believed it some .trick* 1
for her eyes said plainly—
“ You can’t cheat me again.”
And she said good-bye as eoolly
as if it were only for a day. I went
down the walk, feeling much as I
think Adam must have felt when he
left paradise, although his Eve went
with him, and I left mine behind.
I was well pleased with the place,
and was not long, in accepting my
uncle's proposal. 1 wrote to this ef
fect to a lawyer, desiring him to dis
pose of my property at Oakplace. I
mew Jessie would hear of it, and it
would give 1 her to understand that I
! lad no intention of returning, deter
mined that if I did not succeed this
times* I would give her up forever,
though my heart gave a quick throh
of pam at the thought. ;
It was just at twilight of a pleas-*,
antfSeptember day when I reached
Oakplage, jDirect to Mr. Hale’s I
took my way, saying over to myself
as I went, “Howor never !” Straight
up to the gravel walk and across the
lawn I went, and, into the dusky
farlor, unannounced. By the light,
saw Jessie sitting- on a sofa, Tier
head resting on a pillow. She was
alone, and had not heard my' step.
Was she asleep ? A quick sob ans
wered me., That augers well formy
success. In a moment! waskneel-*
ing beside her, and raised the bowed
head. i
“Jessie, dear Jessie !” I said, ten
derly, scarcely knowing bow she
would receive it.
With a quick start and a glad cry
of surprise her pillowed on
my bosom.
“Oh I am so glad to see you Will.
They told me yqu wouldnot return,
and I have 'been sovlonely without
you.”
“And I have been lonely, too,
Jessie,! darling, ” I said., “My home
anywhere would always be lonely
without you,.' Will you not go and
share it with me ?”
The answer was very Ipw, but I
knew it was in the affirmative.
“Will you become' my wife next
week?” . '•
I was determined to make sure
work now.
There was some hesitation, a few
objections raised, but I finally gam
ed the same answer to that.
Then I hurried to the drawing
room to see the old folks. There
was considerable pleasure expressed
at my unexpected arrival, and great
surprise when my errand was made
known, and a few tears and regrets
from the mother at parting with
Jessie, and hearty congratulations
from the father, concluded by the
remark, “that Just as likely as rtot
she would change her mind while
changing her dress.”
I think I accomplished more in
that half hour than I ever did in
twice that length of time be
fore or since, for at itb expiration I
was supremely happy. And the re
sult was that in a week I got the
prettiestj best little wife in all New
England; and what is better still, I
think so now, even though she did
say, ten minutes after the ceremony.
“I never told you I loved you,
Will.” And she never has to this
day.-
ggff “She isn’t all that fancy
painted her," bitterly exclaimed a
rejected lover, “and worse than that,
ahe isn’t all that she paints herself.”
A MILITABY EXECUTION-
James Devlin was shot on the 3d
at Governor’s Island, for repeated
bounty'jumping. The following .
graphic description of the execution
is taken from a New York paper ;
The order for the execution was giv
en to Colonel Bowsoan, command'
ing at Governor’s Island, on Wed
nesday. Rev. Father Healy, of St.
Peter’s Church, was sent for, and
thenceforward acted as Devlin's
spiritual adviser. Devun appeared
calm and collected during the entire
time, and, until his death, listening
to the advice and prayers of Father
Healy. His wife visited him on
Thursday with one of the children.
She was agonized to find that he was
really to die, and was almost violent
in the exihition of her grief. Yes
terday morning, and until the prison
er was taken out for execution, the
scene was painful in the extreme.
He was under guard in one of the
apartments inside of Fort Columbus,
and his wife, with a female friend,
appeared 1 to have- a last interview.
While she was waiting at the door
she cried loudly, “Oh God, look down
upon my orphan children !“ A large
number of rebel officers
and privates, im the fort, gathered
on: the corridors overhead and look
ed at thesOene, but madeno remark.
A number of Union soldiers belong:
ing to'the garrison were also gath
ered around. The sound of a drum
beat at 1 o’clock paused the poor
woman to break forth ip still louder
cries, and for a time she appeared
almost frantic.
Soon after,'Father HbaLy .
ed from the cell ah 4 conducted her (
to her husband. She had an inter
view of a few minutes, and came out '
again comparatively calm. At
o’clock die officer of the day entered
with aiYescdrt, and the prisoner
marched between them, accompan
ied by his wiremione side and the
priest oil' the other,Vho helda cruci
ik before him and constantly re
peated prayers. He was dressed in
a coarse suit of citizens’clothes, and
walked firmly, exhibiting neither
emotion nor any attempt to conceal
if. The party proceeded to the open
space, between Fort Columbus and
the quarters, where some four hun
dred troops, including recruits and
federal prisonersarrestedfor various
offences, were drawn up on parade.
Col. Ludlow* Major Charles TE»b
elk Bix, and Capt. Blake, of Gen.
Fix’s staff, and one or two officers
of Gen. Hunt’s staff, were among
those present. The bier and coffin
had been placed on the ground near
by, and when the party in charge of
the prisoner had advanced nearly to
ii,- they halted. The prisoner then
kissed nis wife good-by. She placed:
a small prayer-book in bis hand, aud
was then led away by , a couple of
soldiers proceeded to the glacis South
offort Colurntpiis, the band playing
a dead march, and the prisoner, stil
accompanied" by Father Healy,
! marching with correct step close be
hind: the bier and coffin, whichwere
: borne by four soldiers. ;
THE HOLLOW SQUARB ‘FORMED.
Arriving at the glacis, a hollow
square was. formed, fronting the wa
ter and in double tanks, the recruits
and prisoners forming the rqar rank,
in open order. There were two fir
ing parties of ten men each, only one
of .vTiich, however, was called upon
to act in that capacity. These squads,
with the*prisoner, marched between
the open ranks, and the prisoner took
his stand near the coffin, with the
firing party ten spaces in front. The
priest still continued at fravLUt sside
repeating prayers, as. it wasyet some
fifteen minutes before 2 o’clock.
ThWofficer approached F ather Heal
ey and'spoke to'him, and the adju
tant 1 general at the post, then read
the sentence of death, the-approval,
and the order for its execution. The
prisoner listened; and stall made no
sign of emotion.
THE PRISONER KNBBEINe TOJBB SHOT.
After a few moments an officer
approached again and informed the
priest it was time for him to leave,
and an orderly tied the white cloth
about the prisoner’s face. Another
word in his ear, another brief prayer,
and the priest had finished the office
i of his work for living, man. The
j prisoner knelt in front of his coffin

The officer took out. his .watch to
note the moments thatyet remained.
It was three minutes of 2 o’clock,
and during those three minutes that
seemed almost an hour to the
ers-ou, he remained motionless and
firm, i Then, at least, the scenehe-* ;
came impressive. The soldiers form
ed in 1 hollow square, the spectators
tin the top of Castle William and
Fort Columbus, men, women and
children belonging to the place, and
the few officers and others whostood
on a rising knoll overlooking, the
scene, allgazedintently and listened
for the word of cqnynand, Save the,
occasional shrieking of a. stetop
whistle from boats, in the bay there
was hardly a whisper of sound.
The faint sunshine, was undisturb
ed by any shadow, and the bay, in
front of the spectators and behind
the. prisoner, gleaned white with
fragments of floating ice, but.gave
forth not even the noise of .a: ripple
on the beach. The spires of the city
rose against the sky in the dis
tance, but the music of theirbeUs at
two o’clock wouldnot reach‘buthah ,
way to the prisoners’ ear before ho
should fall. For him, excepting' a,
military command and perhaps the 1
clicking of musket locks, the. life
of sound waafelready gone, unloosin'
the noise, of that shock in which he-
should expire. One migßt almost.,

One might almost imagine thatit
was a straw-stuffed coat, surmounted
by a huge white choker .and' a.hat,
that was placed in front ofthe firing
squad, and that the real man was
somewhere among the crowd of spec
tators, looking,on with no mom in
terest than they. Or perhaps that
he was one of the white sea-birds
that winged noiselessly to and fro
over the bay. Or that be was pad
dling in the tide, on a huge cake of
ice, in search; of the Stygian river.
Or that he was another man among
the officers on the knoll, who was
almost dangerously gaping at fthe
as*if he really were the
looking again, the - resemblance l did *
appear striking. Has anybody ever
