The scene was a green stretch of summer lawn in front of a fine old Virginia farmhouse ; the speaker a light, bright-faced girl, gracefully mounted on a small gray pony. The sun was dropping out of sight Vtsklt i -k A 41a wMWtn lit 1 1 an1 tnm down the riror bend of the Accocook came the tramp of retreating troops, with jiow and then the mufllod roll of a drum or the shrill bray of a bugle. Old Virginia, the queen mother of the sunny Mouth, wa overrun with sol diers, devastated with fire and sword, shaken to hor very foundations by the thunders of civil war. Colonel Moretou was far away from his pleasant home, in the front ranks of death and danger ; bnt Irene, his only daughter, braved the terrors of inva sion and remained at the farm-house with her invalid mother and a few faith ful servants. Cantering across the ground an hour after the retreat of the invading troops something attracted the young lady's cotioe a prostrate figure under the hade of the great eottonwood tree. "Stop, Dapple ; we must look to this." Dapple stopped and Miss Irene leaped lightly from the saddle, and throwing the silken reins over the pony's neck he went tripping across the ground to the spot where the figure lay. It was a tall, soldierly figure, clad in army blue, with a pale, worn face and an abun dance of curling chestnnt hair. She looked down upon the senseless soldier with all her woman's divine compassion stirring within her bosom. "Poor fellow," she murmured, laying her soft hand upon his brow; "I wish I could help you." The soft voice and the softer touch called back the veteran's wandering senses. He opened his eyes and looked up in the young lady's face. Great, luminous, handsome eves they were, that somewhat reminded Irene of her ! brofher Tom's eyes, and Tom was down 1 in the trenches in front of hic-Luioud. , 'The oompussion in lier heart stirred i afresh: she smoothed back the tauglod ! curls from the soldier's brow. "My poor fellow," she said, "can I do anything for you?" I tlo struggled up to his elbow with a stifled groan. "My horse threw me," he exclaimed, "and they left me behind. I think I must have fuinted from the pain. I thank you very much, but I can't seo how you can help me. I suppose I must lie here till they take me prisoner, and I would almost as soon h ahnt " Irene smiled, a smile that lighted her dark, bright face into positive beauty. "I am in the enemy's country," she aid, "but if you will trust me I think I can help you; at least I will see that you are refreshed and made comfort able." She put her hand to her bosom and, drawing forth a tiny whistle, she put it to her lips and blew a sharp blast. Dapple picked up his gray ears and came cantering to her side, followed in stantly by a colored man servant. "You see," smiled Miss Irene, flash ing a beaming glanoe on the soldier, "I hold my reserve force at a moment's warning. Here, James, help this gen tleman to the house and ride for Doctor Werter to dreas his limb." James obeyed without a word, and by the time tbe sun was fairly out of sight the Union soldier, refreshed and made comfortable, lay asleep in the best chamber of the pleasant old Southern mansion. Meanwhile on the long veranda Irene kept watch, her slight, willowy form wrapped in a scarlet mantle, her raven tresses floating on the wind. By-and-by, as the midnight stars came out and guttered overhead, above the dreamy flow of the river, above tlm murmur and rustle of the forest leaves, arose the clash and clang, the roar and tramp of advanoing troops. Irene's dark face flushed and her lustrous eyes dilated. She crossed the verunda with a swift step and tapped lightly at the door of her guest's room. "They are coming," she whispered, "they will take you prisoner if you re main. You must go." The soldier started to his feet and made his way out, but he reeled against tne door, lamt ana gasping for breath. "I can't walk 1" he cried. 'There's no hope of escape 1" But Irene hold out arm. hor lithe young "Yes, there is," she said cheerfully, "Loan on mo. I can help you down, anil you shall ride Dapple. He knows the river road, and you will overtake your comrades by dawn. Hurry I I'llAVA In Yt fin-iA fv. IMi. " t The soldier leaned upon the brave. helpful young arm, and succeeded in reaomng the laws below. "Dapple I" tho young girl called, in her clear, silver uotos, "come here I" In a breath Dapple was at bar sido. The girl stood and looked at the gentle) creature, and then sho threw her arms around her nook. , "Oh, Dapple, pretty Dapplo," she Bobbed, "it breaks my heart to part with you. Good-by, Dapplo." In the next breath sho Btood orect, her eyes flashing through a mist of tears. "Come, sir," she said, "allow me to help you mount. Dapple, take this gentloman down the river road, and at your utmost speed." Dupplo uttered a sagacious whinny, but the soldier hesitated. "Why don't yon mount, sir ?" criod the girl impatiently, "Will you remain here aud ruin both yourself and me?" He vaulted into the saddle without a word. "Away, Dapple, like the wind I" cried Irene, and the little mountain pony shot off like an arrow. The war was over, and once more Eeaco and freedom reigned over the lasted and desolate homos of Virginia. Captiiiu Rutherford made it his busi ness to go back to the Totomao hills and to Colonel Morcton's farmhouse the moment ho was out of the service; but whore the statoly old homestead Btood he found nothing bnt a mass of ruins, and of Dapplo's mistress not the lightest tidings could be obtained. Three years went by, and the ex captain found himself the wealthy heir of an old uncle, and took himself off on a tour amid the Swiss mountains. Dap ple went with him, as he always did since that eventful night when the brave little pony bore him safely beyond reach of the enemy. Ho had been the captain's inseparable companion in all liia wanderings. He was with him now, ambling over the green Tyrol valleys and climbing the Hwitzer stoops. One September afternoon, when the captain's tour was drawing to a olose, somewhere in the vicinity of Mont Blanc, he fell in with a traveling party from New Orleans. It consisted of Madam Leuoir, her son and two daugh ters, and a young American lady, who was her companion and interpreter. Captain ltutherford found madam a charming woman, and while the young persons of tbe party busied themselves in spreading ont a collation under the trees, he lay amid the long, rustling grasses, listening to madam's pretty feminine chatter, and in his turn re lattd incidents and reminiscences of his war experiences for her edification. Among other things he told her of Dap ple and of his midnight ride among the blue hills of old Virginia. Madam was intonsely interested. "And the gallant little pony carried you safely through !" she cried with beaming eyes. "Sufely through, madam, with the enemy at my very heels," replied the captain. "Miss Moreton," cried madam, "will you have the kindness to passtheclaret cup ? And pray, Captain Rutherford, what over becumo of little Dapple ?" The cuptain raided himself to a sitting posture. "Dapplo I Dapple !" he callod, "como to mo 1" From the forest shadows near at hand a small gray pony cumo ambling forth. Madam Lenoir's companion, ad vancing with tlio clui-ut cup in hor slim white hand, nttorod a sharp littlo cry, wustiug ull tho luscious liijuor on the rustling leaves nt her feet. "Oh, Dapple, Dapplo I she cried. Dapple heard the sweet voice and knew it in an instant. He broke into a joyous neigh und shot like an arrow for the young lady s side. She caught his shaggy head and held it close to her bosom, sobbing like the silly child she was. "Oh, Dapple, my pretty Dannie, have I found you at last?" Madam Lenoir, comprohendincr the denouement, looked on with glistening eyes. Two weeks later the pleasant party was breaking up. Madam and her party were going back to France. "And now, Irene, said the captain, 'how is it to be ? Will you not listen to my suit or accept my life ? Then you will be forced to part from Dapplo again, ane is mine by the right of possession. I can not give her up. Come, now, give your final decision are you williug to part from me and Dapple forever ?" Irene looked up with her old glorify ing smile. "I oould bear to part from you," she said wiokedly, "but never again from Dapple. If you take Dapple you will have to take her mistress, too, Captain Butherford." And the captain made no objection. A mouth later saw Dapple's mistress his wife. Noon Uluners and 1 tva Meals a Day. When, as rarely happens, English arm laborers come to this country, they find it extremely diilioult to ac comodate themsolves to the current American custom of eating threo meals a day. An English maid servant und nurse, who lived to bo more than ono hundrod years old, averred thutuhohad always been acoustomed to "a dew bit and breakfast, a stay bit and dinner, a nommot, a crummot, and a bit after supper." In parts of Southern Penn sylvania the dinner is 11 o'clock in the morning, and ft would not be diflicult to show that Americans living on tho eanio meridian are dining all tho way from that hour until 7 iu the evening. The great mass of country folk still dine at noon. Tho Borrower Overtaken. If you please, Mrs. Covonhovcn, said a child, presenting herself bo fore a back-door neighbor, "mother want i to know if you will be kind enough to lend her that bowl full of sugar that you borrowed and forgot to return the other day," Judge. A LIVELY WEDDING. THE CEREMONY ADMINISTERED ON THE INSTALMENT PLAN. A Chapter of Aenldent nt An Inopportune Time Canses an Important Ktent to lla Nerlounlr Interfered With Patience and I'eraeveranee Finally Hewarded. On Virginia roads in winter a man will sometimes get a "turn-over" on horsoback ; bo, writes a correspondent, no wonder pnrson and I, in a buggy, on our way to my own wedding, had a completo smash-up, as had the "won derful ono-horse shay." As patching up a smash-up roqnirc time, and no littlo ingonuity, we found on arrival that the wudding guostg and Annio, in hor bridal array, had been awaiting me tho missing link for some hours. I'arson was a heavy built man, and clumsy, and as I hurried him up the little porch stops the vino-clad structure tremblod. He awkwardly stumbled, and without a word of warning the roof, trellises and all collapsed, caving in and covering. us with tangled honeysuckles and Madeira vines and lathing old enough to have had bettor manners. As Annio and the bridosmaida knew it was bad luck to put off a wedding, in spite of bloody noses and bruised shins we wero fished ont of the debris and stood up in position for the cere mony. I can't understand why that old porch, which had never fallen down before, should have picked "sich a like time," and made suoh a laughing stock of us that there wasn't a straight face among the audionoe. As we stood, all washed and court plastered, for the ceremony, in dashed Malindy, the cook, screaming that "her baby child was in de well." We drew the fat little pickaninny out, half dead with terror, aud thou drew water to dash on the cook, who wus having spasms. Agaiu in line, Annie was just about to promise to "honor and obey" me, whea Billyboy, swelled twioe his usual black size with the importance of the announcement, put in a woolly head at the door and shouted tho momentous words, "Pig's out 1" Every country boy knows what that moans, but I will expluiu that the roast pig at that moment crowning the wed ding feast, with lemon in his month, had a living comrade of a moet valuable and rare breed, purchased from a dis tance. And "Pig's outl" meant cer tain loss of that valuable "little horg" unless immediately raced, chased, run down and recaptured. It took two mortal hours, and whon I again stood by Annie's side, I had to mop my face, panting from the home run. During the progress of the wedding feast a temporary table, formed, I be lieve, of a door ingeniously covered w ith a cloth, laid across backs of chairs, gave way under a bushel of cups and huncors, but we had become hardened, aud did not regard that uccident iu tho least.. Annio and I startod for our home un der the regulation shower of rice aud old slippers, thinking our troubles eudod. At tho first gato, without any rliyroo or reason, a front wheel caved in, aud I went back and borrowed father-iu-hiw's jumper. . before we wero out of hearing thero arose the dreadful cry of Fire!" and I loft Mnie holding tho reins, and ran leaping buck to help put it out. It proved to be uu old outhouse, used on this occasion to roast the pig in, and we soou "downed" it. I hastened buck to Mud Annie and the horse had both taken fright, and the Lorse was running away with her. That surely seems enough for any "happy pair," but we were dostined to have another mischance, which proved a severs test of amiability. In the gloaming there was a stream to be crossed about a mile from our new home. While lowering the reins for the mare to drink I awkwardly dropped my new whip, loaded in the handle with lead. It went under like a bullet, and the mare seemed to com prehend this, and played upon us a very "horsey" practioal joke. After swilling water until I feared she would burst, she deliberately took her stand in the deepest plaoe and re fused to budge one inoh. Night was upon us, stars were beginning to peep, and as words proved of no avail, I had to get ont and lead that mare ashore. I had, however, this one great consola tion ; through all our tribulations An nie showed suoh sweetness of temper, that 1 understood from the very begin ning what a sunshiny little woman I had won for life's partner. Why They Knelt. Charles II of England was noted for his good natnre, and though he was sometimes called "Unthinking Charles," yet his heedlessness was more an appar ent than a real characteristic. The ex travagance of his reign went hand in hand with poverty, and on some occa sions even the royal table was but poorly served. Thero is a story told of Grammont, who one day dined in state with tho King. Charles bade the Count to notion that he was served upon the Knee, a murk of respect to gnosis of the King not com mon at other courts. "I thank your Majesty for tho ex planation," answered Grammont. "I thought they were begging pardon for giviug you ho bad a dinner." Didn't Want One.
