Bulwer Lytton's Bridge,
NWIKKB IT TOUCHES THE BHOItK1 AND THE
GltEAT COLUMNS IN MIDSTHEAM.
"What a beautiful bridge between old age and
childhood Is religion. How Intuitively tho child
begins with prayer and worship on entering life,
and how Intuitively, on quitting life, tho old man1
turns back to prayer and worship, putting himself
again side by bide with the Infant," remarks Sir E.
Ilulwcr Lytton, In his "Strange Story."
Yes, but between Its distant abutments the
bridge ot life has many high nad awful arches,
through which tho wild waters dash and roar In
wrath and dlsolutlon. Prayer and worship alono
do not sustain theso. Nature's solid rocks must
llo unshaken beneath, and human art and skill
mustrearand solldifr tho structure overhead.
Clod's will Is best cxemplltlcd In the laws He has
made for tho creatures whom He has p laced under
their control. Neither tho child's trustful "Our

SELECT STORY,
UNOOIJSOIOUS DETE0TI7E.
Alias Twittorbit was dovourctl with
curiosity about lair now loDi;or. For
nearly h'ix weeks ho had hardly stirred
out of tho house, but bad remained
sliut up in his own room from morn-
nir till niuht, doing nothini;, bo far as
hIiu could observe, tlioimh bo somo
tiniPH had a book in his hand. Ho re
ceived no visitors and,no, lottcri, and
could not bo induced to divulco any-
tbiiiK whatever about himself oxcent
that liis uamo was Hunter. IIo nil
pcarcd to bo a gentleman, was well-
liTsseu and rather good looking, and
(bowed no outward traces' of (hd ill-
health to which he attributed his se
clusion. As ho cave no troublo and
paid his Way with unfailing regularity,
Miss Twittcrbit had nothing to com
plain of, but her kind heart was touch-
d by his loneliness, and nno frit a sym
pathetic intorest in him, whioh Induced
lcr to try tlio experiment of sendinu
him a valentine'.
She did this because she had arrived
at tho conclusion that the poor young
man was pini.ig.away from the effects
nf an unrequited attachment. Having
been herself cruelly jilted thirty-five
years ago. Miss 1'witterbit imagined
that bIiu know tlm symptoms of abruis
eu anu broken Heart. This romantio
theory commended itself to tho worthy
lady's sentimental mind, and seemed to
explain Mr. Hunter's habitual dojec-
tiou, Ins reticence, and bis strancu
shrinking from contact with his fellow
men. llio approacli of St. Valentines
day therefore suggested to her the idea
of sending him a tender missive in a
disguised hand, paitly with the chati
itable object oi enlivening hid solitude,
but chiefly, it is to be feared, in tbe
hopo that it might lead to his taking
her into his confidence regarding his
blighted, attections.
Accordingly, Miss Twittcrbit pur
chased a highly ornato and sentimental
lucubration, and sent it up in ad
envelope on Mr. Hunter's breakfast
tray, llio lodgers name had been in
scribed by the young lady at the shop
wnere tlio valentine was purchased,
and in order to enhance tho mystery of
the proceeding, Alias. 1 witterbit ui
strueted the, servant girl to inform Mr.
Hunter, in caio he asked any questions,
that the letter had been left at tho
house by an unknown lady. Miss
Twitlerbit did not doubt that sho her
self in turn would be sunt for and cross
examimcd, and she would then be ablo
to form her own conclusions from the
young man's manner whether she bad
rightly diagnosed his disorder, oven if,,
in tho fullness of his heart, he did not
make a full confession.
Miss Twittcrbit was as mild and.
gentle an eldorly lady as ever existed,
and nothing would havo Induced her
to do anything knowingly to vex her
lodger, quite aiiart from prudential
considerations. She never dreamed
that any harm could arise out of her,
experiment, and consequently she was
quite upset when sho learned the ex
traordinary filed her valentine bad
upon Mr. Hunter.
"lie turned as white, Miss, run sheet
as soon as ever he saw thu envelope,"
said the servant girl, when sho return
ed flora tho lodger's apartment in a
gieat stale ot excitement. "Ho took
it up as though he expected it lo bite
him, and wheil he saw tbe valentine ho1
swore dreadful, and ordered tne out of
the room double quick."
"Hear, dear me 1" murmured Miss
Twittcrbit, deeply concerned. "Did
be say anything or ask' any questions,?'!
"llo asked how the letter camo herer
and I mentioned what vou told me,"
said tho girl.
1 hopo you did not bring in my
name, Jindget i said Miss Twitterbit,
with sudden trepidation.
'l didn t let out anything, Miss, it
you mean that," answered tho girl. "In
tact, ho quite trightened me, and 1
hardly dared to open my mouth."
At thatimomcut a violent ring rever
berated through the house, and Mr.
Hunter's voico was heard on tho land
ing above, angrily summoning, Miss
Twitterbit.
1 suppose I must go up to him.
Bridget,' said tho poor lady, feeling
unaccountably nervous.
"Ho seems a gettin' angrier every
minute," said tho girl, referring to tho
loJger's repeated vociferations. Miss
i witterbit took tho hint, and lost no
time iu hastening up stairs. Mr. Hun
ter's aspect plainly showed that he was
agitated and out rf temper. IIo was
striding impatiently about tho room,
1.1.1. .1. ' I. ... , r
KiuKiug iiiu ciiuuij aim iooi-stoois vic
iously asido when they impeded his
path, and biting his nails furiously.
His faoo was distorted with rage, and
the fierce expression of his eyes was
sufficient to startlo a nervous person
reathlcB from a hurried ascent of a
staircase. Miss Twitterbit presented
herself twith a face as pale as her lod
gers, and felt as guilty as though Bhu
had committed a crime.
"I wnnted lo ask about this," said
Mr. Hunter, picking up tho unlucky
valentine from the lloor, whero it lay
in a crushed and mangled condition.
When did this comol"
, MissjTwitterbit was on tho point of
raaitipg n clean breast ot her iniquity,
arid confessing that sho alono was re
sponsible for tho offending missive, but
while sho. was hesitating, from awk
wardness and diflidenco, Mr. Hunter
sliatteied her nerves by exclaiming :
"For heaven's sake, woman, don't
stand staring there 1 Answer my ques
tion. When did this come V
"Yesterday,", gasped Miss Twitter
bit, in desperation."
"Who brought it V continued Mr.
Hunter, getting more and more exci
ted.
'A a young lady," answered tho
land lady falling back on tho story sh
had originally intended to tell.
"What was she like !"
"1 in sure I cannot say. Tho fact is,
1 hardly 1 onlv
"Was she young and fair, rather
tall, and fashionably dressed 1 inter
rupted Mr. nunler.
"Well, yes j I think sho was," an
. 1 -ft sTf m . . i .
svvereii iuiss i wittei tnt, vaguely con-
scions of nwakening curiosity in tho
midst of her uneasiness.
"It must havo been b1ii Nobody
elsB knows," muttered Mr. Hunter, evi
dently speaking to himself.
Ho put his hands in his pockets and
leant against tho mantel Bhelf, staring
at tho colling and ignoring Misi Twit
terbit's presence. Tho landlady was
Blowly recovering from her perturba
tion, and was beginning to perceive.
after nil, tho Valentino had elucidated
the mystery ol Mr. Hunter's conduct.
It was ovident that omo unlucky love
affair was at tho botom of Ills' tiuhap-
pincss.
"Miss Twittcrbit will vou do mo, a
great favor t" ho said suddenly, speak
ing more in his usual tone, though
still laboring under strong oxcitenient.
"l want you to tako a letter for me to
tho other side, of London over lo
Hampstcad."
"Yes, sir, to bo sure,"' said Miss Twit
tcrbit, on tho tiptoo of expectation.
"it is a long way, 1 knowj but you
must biro a cab atltuy expense," ho
dald, seating himself at tho table nnd
commencing to write. "How -long
will you need to get ready 1 '
"Do you wish mo to go now, sir; 1"
inquired .MiBS Twittcrbit, rathor taken
aback.
"Yes, now this instant," said Mr.
Hunter impatiently. "Get your bon
net on, atid this shall bo ready for you
by the, time you havo dono.so'
Miss Twittcrbit was" tho persotiifica.
(ion of good nature, nnd, though bIio
was not enchanted at the prospect of a
journey to tho other end of London,
she proceeded ,to equip herself with
alncrity. Mr. Hunter had finished his
letter when she camo down again, and
he at onco handed it to her, together
with some silvei for tho. car fare.
"Ask Io sco the lady,1' he said im
pressively, "and give her the letter.
Don't loavo it if sho is out, but britig
it back with you. Mind, on no ac
count, part with it to anybody else."
"Is there any answer, sir !" inquired
Miss Twitterbit rather 'flustered by
theso instructions.
"No, there is no answer. If the
lady askB any questions about me, yon
can tell her I was very angry when 1
sent this; you can say I was never more
out of tempor in my life whioh is tho
fact. Don't stay gossiping," addod
Mr. Hunter with emphasis'.
It crossed Miss Twittcrbit's mind in
a feeble, uncertain way that, if tho let
ter had reference to. tho valentine, sho
might by a few words of explanation
save herself the journey. Hut before,
she could come to a deoision Mr, Hun
ter interrupted her reflections by say
sharply :
"Como Miss Twittcrbit I don't waste
valuable time. Tho sooner you havo
delivered tbe later tho better I shall
oo pleased, it is very important, re
member."
Startled by this admonition, Miss
Twitterbit hastily retired, and was
soon on her way to Hampstcad in a
four-wheojed cab. But during the tide
sho had, ample leisure for reflection,
and it naturally began to occur to her
that she was in rather an awkward
iiredicament. Obviously the letter had
f .
been writen in consequence of the am
val of the Valentino, and therefore tho
ady would not understand what it re
ferred to. On tho other hand, the let
tcr1 might be the means of effecting a
reconciliation between two loving
hearts, though to be euro Mr. Hunter
had not been in a particularly amiablo
mood when ho sent it. in a word Miss
Twitterbit was puzzled and uneasy.
the more especially as the envelope
was nddiessed to a Mrs. IIuullov. This
suggested tho suspicion that her lodger
was carrying on an intrigue with a
married woman, or else, that Hunter
was not his real name, Either of these
ideas wbro calculated to disconcert the
good lady, for sho was perfectly to
Npeetabli', and would not for the world
have' been mixed up in any question
ablo transaction. She soon regretted
.having permitted Mr. Hunter to re
main under a misapprehension about
tho valentine, and had almost made up
her mind to drive back and confess ev
erything, when she discovered that
tho letter had come unfastened,
It had evidently been .hastily sealed
up, just as sho was starting, and had
never been properly secured.
Under any other circumstances Miss
1 witterbit s sense of honor would have
revolted at tho bare notion of reading
another person's correspondence. But
sho was so nervous and perplexed that
sue could not resiBt the temptation to
tako a peep at tho letter. Its contents
would enable her to decide definitely
whether to deliver it or to faco her
lodger's wrath and indignation by re
turning. Sho theroforo stealthily un-
ioiaea tuo uocumont and rend as foi
lows :
"It is ovident 1 cannot relv on vour
prudence. 1 warned you you would bo
. . . : .
waieiicu, and yet you must need do
such a wantonly idiotic thing. Leave
town instantly and go down to Dovon
Bijiro. '
There was no formal commencement
or ending, and no signature to this
peremptory and laconic epistle, which
Miss Twitterbit read two orthreo times
in blank bewilderment. But she re
solved to deliver it. boing immesscd
with its impoitanco becauso she failed
to understand its meaning. Besides, it
stimulated her curiosity, and sho con
eluded that it would, perhaps, bo wiser
to explain matters to tho ladv and
leave her to act as sho thought best,
than to risk causing mlsohief by not
carrying out tho instructions sho had
received.
In duo course, thereforo. she readied
Hampstcad, and alighted from- tho cab
at tho'corner of tho street m which tho
lady lived. But it hannonod. unfortu
nately,that tho thoroughfare in question
w3 iiiiuiueieu in it very eccentric lasn
ion, and, while sho was seeking (ho
iiouso bho wanted, with tho letter m
her hand, sho was accosted by
very rcBpectaoie, middle-aged man
dressed in a frock coat and tall hat
who politely asked her if ho could bo

cu uucasiiv.
"It is all tho same." said Mr. Hart.
ay, lightly "I will give it to her.
low is your friend V
But Miss Twitterbit paid no heed to
tho question, being startled and friirht-
cned at learning that sho had delivered
a letter intended for Mrs. Hartley s
privato eye to her husband. If Mr.
Hunter was making love to another
man's wife, his conduct was inexcusa
ble, but it was frightful to reflect that
sho might bo tho innocent cause of a
domestic' explosion. Miss Twitterbit
trembled at her imprudence, nnd could
not conceal her dismay.
"It is all right ma'am," said Mr.
Hartloy, eyeing her keenly ; "I'm not a
it jealous. I'm a model husband that
way. Mrs. Hartloy shall havo the
letter, but at present she is away in tho
country."
Mr. Hartley put tho letter in his
ocket as ho spoke, and walked on.
taking off his hat to her as ho jiossed.
Under the circumstances, Miss Twitter
bit perceived that there was no occa
sion for her to call at No. 18, and bIio
therefore retraced her steps, full of
vacuo misgivings, but striving to as
sure herself that everything had gone
wen.
Sho did not succeed, however, in re
covering her equanimity ; but on the
contrary, the more sho dreaded facing
her lodger. It might be a relief tc his
mind, certainly, to learn that Mr. Hart
ley was not iealous or ancrV. but sho
thought ho was moro likely' to bo fur
ious with her for having failed to car-
, ! . .f nr. m ...
ry out ins instructions, xuiss i witter
bit returned homo leisurely, in an eco
nomical omnibus, and was cpnsoiotis of
a desini to linger on the journey. Tho
thought of the reception she would
mett with when she got back banished
all other speculations from her mind,
and being a timid nnd nervous old lady,
she shrank from the impending inter
view.
No sooner had sho entered tbe hall
of her homo than Mr. Hunter hailed
her from tho top of the staircase.
"Come up, Miss Twitterbit, Is it
all right?" he inquired, anxiously.
"Did you deliver the letter 1"
"Yes, sir, it is all right," said poor
Miss Twitterbit, screwing up her cour
ago and following her lodger into his
sitting room.
"What did she say t" ho inquired,
cautiously cldsing, tho door behind her.
"The lady wa'S away, but her hus
band opent'd the letter
' began
Hunter,
Miss 1 witterbit', desperately.
'What?" interrupted Mr.
xcitedlv.
"Mr. Hunter opened, it, sir, and he
unghed quite pleasantly, and Baid he
would givo it to his wife when she
came back, from the country," said
Miss Twitterbit, eagerly.
"Ut all the internal , but Mr.
Hunter's words died away on his lips
nnd he seemed incapable of utterance.
Ho glared at poor Miss Twitterbit,
while every atom of color left his face
and he was obliged to cling to the
auk of a chair for support. Miss
Twitterbit was too teriilied even to
scream, and stood traimtixed by his
furioiif glance till the Hound of men's
Voices in the hall below aroused her
enorgies.
"It is all over, murmured Mr. Hun
ter, staggering across tho room like a
drunken man, and dropping heavily
into a chair. "Here thoy come 1"
At the same moment tho dofar open
ed, and the gentleman who had called
hijnself Mr. Hartley walked briskly in
,u me muni, luuuweu uy a policeman.
The lust mentioned aparition revealed
to Miss Twitterbit thu true state of the
casp, and she sank down on tho sofa in
half-fainting coudition, overcome
with horror and dismay. Shu was too
agitated to pay attention to the hur
ried words that passed between the
now arrivals and her lodger, but she
'gathered enough to understand that ho
wn-i "wanted on n charge of embezzle
ment, but that his hiding place had
never been suspected until that day.
"I suppose that valentine was a trick
of tbe cursed police t" she at length
heard Mr. Hunter say. "I was a fool
to bo deceived by it. When it was too
lato I suspected tho truth. On second
thought I felt convinced my wife
hadn't sent it."
"Valentine I What' valontino !" in
quired tho detective with gonuino sur
prise.
Mr. Hunter onlv shrugged his shoul
ders scornfully, and rose to accompany
ms captors j out Miss Twitlerbit Dung
her head and shed a silent tear.

Love, Hate and Murder,
Tho sequel of tho fatal lovp of a
Federal prisoner, named Captain Ra
phael Livingston, who was a prisoner
in ond of tho Confederate; prisons at
Salisbury, N. C, during tho late war,
has just como to light. Diiring tho
last year of tho war, Livingston,
through (ho aid of a pretty girl, man
aged to effect his escape. Ho w'as
given shelter by his fair friend and re
mained in tho plaoo for a day and
night.
Fearing capture by tho Confedertto
prison authorities, tho escaped soldier
mado his way on fbot through the
mountains in tho Western part of tho
Statc. After many trials nnd much
siiiTciing he reached Wilkes county,
one of the remote counties of that sec
tion. Thero ho was lucky enough to
meet Miss Hose Austiri, another young
lady, who assisted him in eluding the
Confederate, officer iu her neighbor
hood. Tho handsomo young Captain
made a deep impression upon Miss
Austin, and an engagement of mar
riago was tho result.
KETCrtNINO fOU A llltlPK.
Miss Austin managed to render such
assistance to her lover that he got
through tho Southern lines and made
his way to bis home in Now York.
In 1807, two years after tho close of
tho war, Livingston returned to Wilkes
County to claim his bride. During
tho intervening years, Charles Bird, a
young farmer in tho neighborhood,
and an old admirer of Miss Austin, had
come between them and gained the
girl's affection, and soon after tlio
young captain's reappearance in Wilkes,
ho one day suddenly disappeared with
out leaving any cluo to his -whereabouts.
Bird and Miss Austin wcro soon af
terwards married, and the romance of
tho federal ofiicer soon passed, out of
tho miuds of the Wilkes County peo
ple. It waB revived last week- by ,a
quarrel between Bird and his, wife, in
which tho latter informed ono, of the
neighbors that Bird and two other
men shot and killed Livingston and
buried his body in a neichborinir
woods. A negro, who is aliened to
havo participated in tho crime, corrob
orates the wife's story.
ah ot tho parties wero arrested and
committed to jail in Wilkes county to
await an examination upon the charce
of murder. The case attracts intense
interest iu that soctiou, where all of
those most deeply interested are well
known, and where the missing Federal
dflicor was a great favorite during his
brief and, it now appears, fatal visit,
bent on wooing and claiming his beau
(iful bride. ,Mrs. Bird is now 30 and
still quite pretty. She is accomplished
and of good family connections.
