Who shall know him by his dress?

Princes fit for something less.

A TRUE STORY OF TUE WAR
Cold and dreary winter had gone
and given place to balmy Spring; the
hills and valleys were again clothed in
green; but with the return of Spring
came,the sad tidings of war. The sur
-aender of Fort Sumpter caused many
j patriotic sons of the north to leave
'their homes and hasten to their coun
try's miscue.. Miss Annie Elton, the
(heroine efoer story, at the beginning
(of the'present rebellion was living with
an Uncle in the State of Virginia; she
was of northern birth, and had always
lived in the north, until some five
years previous to the war. Being de
prived of both her parents and left in
rather limited circumstances, she glad
ly accepted the invitation of her,Llncle,
Henry Elton, (who was the only near,
relative she had) to make her home
with him in the south. Having no
children of his own he treated his neice
with marked attention and respect;
he, gave her a good education, and
spared no expense in her dress. An
nie loved her Uncle almost as she
would a father; yet she often thought
of her Northern home. Though having
lived for five . years in the South, she
had not yet becotne imbued with that
aristocratic feeling which characteri
zes so many of the, Southerners. Al
though surrounded by almost every
thing that wealth could procure, yet
she would often find many things in
the great drama of life to mar her
happiness. She watched the approach.
ing crisis drawing nearer and nearer,
- until war had actually commenced.
Annie for the first time since her re
moval to the South began to think of
returning to the North. It is true she
often thought of her early home, but
mover _ thought of returning, not at
least while she was dependent on her
Uncle's boUnty, he being one of those
aristocratio men of the South who
love to boast of their parentage.
BUt-there had dawned a new era in
the life of Annie Elton. She bad
found another heart to love; one to
whom she could confide her secrets,
hopes and fears. Clyde Warren was a
young man of talent and genius, and
was one of-the most prominent writers
of his day; his heightened sentiments
and brilliant conversation won for
him many friends. As his pen was
his chief support he confined himself
to his writing desk almost constantly.
Being of a rather delicate nature he
soon found his health fast failing under
the confined mode of life which he led:
He at length concluded to lay his pen
aside for awhile and travel through
the South to regain his already shat
tered health ; after traveling through
several of the Southern States he
found his health much benefited by the

balmy climate of the South, and final
ly came to the conclusion to settle
permanently in the south eastern part
of the State of Virginia. Among his
first acquaintances was Miss. Elton,
whose truth-loving, truth-telling eyes
soon won the entbuastie young writer.
Many times did Clyde Warren wend
his way up the long avenue that led
to Henry Elton's princely mansion,
although he was " always met with a
frown if that gentleman chanced to
meet him. Annie had been accustom
ed to obey her Uncle, but when he re
fused to allow her to mingle in the
society of the one on earth dearest to
her heart, she ceased to obey him.
"Miss Elton, will you favor mo with
your company for a short walk, this
evening ?"
"Certainly," was the quick reply.
Taking the proffered arm of Clyde,
they walked some distance in silence.
At length, Annie looked up in his face
exclaiming as she did so, "Why Clyde
Warren, what can be the matter with
you, to-night ?"
He led her to a seat, and taking
her hand in his, ho said, "Annie, my
dearest girl, we may never more meet
again. This may be the last evening
that I shall be permitted to enjoy your
company."
"Do not talk in enigmas, Clyde; you
know yours are always so puzzling
that I cannot solve them."
"I will explain myself, dearest;" he
said, pressing the trembling girl closer
to his side; "I must leave the South
in a few days. You have already
heard of the fall of Fort Sumpter, and
my sentiments will not justify me in
staying any longer here. I lovo the
North too well to stay where I cannot
express my views. So, Annie, my
dearest girl, may I again ask you to
be my wife,And come North with me?"
"Clyde, I know I have not much to
entice me hero, but my Uncle, he will
never sanction our union; he is averse
to the Northern cause."
"But, Annie, I am waiting for your
answer."
"I confide my interests to your keep
ing, hoping you will never betray the
trust." As she said this, she confident
ly placed her hands in his, as a child
yields up its treasures to the care of a
mother.
"My trust shall be fathfully kept."
It was not until a late hour that
Annie retired to her room, for they had
many plans to form in regard to the
future. Mr. Elton, as was expected,
positively forbid Clyde Warren to mar•
rylis niece. But his refusal could not
daunt her in her claims upon the ob.
jest of her dearest affection.
"If you still insist upon disobeying
me, you shall never inherit any of my
fortune," exclaimed her Uncle, angrily.
Annie 'gently left the study of her
Uncle, bidding him goodbye as she
did so; an angry frown was his only
answer.
Let us pass over an interval of a few
months and we will enter a beautiful
cottage on the banks of the noble
Hudson. It is midsummer, but the
tasteful ornamental trees that shade
theentrance to the cozy nest, as it is
sometimes called, require selfdenial
from the weary traveler who feels that
time will not permit him, to enter the
inviting cottage and partake of the
hospitality which ever characterizes
its inmates. But let us enter the par
lor, and we see a young woman sitting
or rather reclining upon a sofa. She
is evidently troubled, for the large
tears aro coursing each other down her
fair young cheeks. A young- man is
pacing the floor; he, too, looks as if his
mind was not at ease. In these per
sons we recognize Clyde and Annie
Warren. Although living far from the
seat of war they still have kept apace
with the current news of the day.
Another call for men has again roused
the patriotic people of the North , to
come forth with loyal will and help
drive the ruthless invaders from our
soil. The quiet town of M. did not
lack in patriotism ; several companies
had been already raised, and another
was rapidly being filled. All the offi
cers had been chosen, except the cap
tain; the one first chosen for some
reason had declined going when the
company was almost raised. Clyde
was selected to fill his place, and it was
this that caused the tears to flow from
the blue eyes of Annie. After walk
ing through the room for some time,
he knelt beside her and imprinted a
kiss on her hot cheek.
"Oh ! Clyde, will you leave me a
lone orphan again!" and with a con
vulsive sob she threw herself into his
arms
"Bo calm, my dear wife, I am sorry
to see you so much distresseq. I will
not go Annie, without your consent;
but my wife will be patriotic enough
to give her husband to serve. his coun
try." She at last gave her consent,
and on.the morrow, Captain Warren,
with his men, left for the seat of war.
Long and cheering wore the many
letters which Annie received from
her gallant husband; he passed through
many battles unhurt. Oh with what
breathless suspense did Annie glance
over the list of killed and wounded to
see if the name of Captain Warren
was among the unfortunate. Although
ho was not struck by the leaden mis
sive, disease fastened upon his frame.
He for weeks lay too ill to notice any
thing around him; the little thread of
life seemed ready to snap asunder, but
in time he began to grow better; and
at length was able to go to his New
England home, there to be cared for
by his gentle blue eyed wife. Her
cheek had grown pale by watching,
for she was devotedly attached to her
husband; being an orphan and alone
she clung with strong affection to her
partner.
But we will again pass over a short
space of time. It is a 'cold, gloomy
day in October, and the cold wind
whistles sadly through the naked
boughs of the trees. But we will leave
the gloomy aspect without, and enter
the cottage of Captain Warren. We
find the Captain busily engaged with
a newspaper, while Annie's busy hands
are employed in making garments for
the soldiers. Let us glance around the
room, and we see that they are not:
the only occupants; near the fire with
his hands resting on the arms of the
chair sits an old man; ho is gazing
in the fire at the dying embers; his
pale, careworn looks seem to say that
trouble has been his portion, too, as it
has been to many others. Don't be
surprised, my kind reader, when we
tell you that this disconsolate old man
is no ono else than the same aristocrat
ic Uncle who forbid Annie to marry a
Northern man. He who spurned' an
orphan niece from his 122;„:::, is now
living with that same niece almost
dependent on her bounty. But let us
take a brief retrospect of the past life
of the once rich Henry Elton ; as we
have said before, he was rich and tal.
ented, but as his home was destroyed
by the ruthless hand of war he with
some difficulty found his way North,
where his neice with open arms re
ceived him notwithstanding the cruel
ty with which he treated her previous
to her marriage. He says ho is sorry
for the past, but hopes he will end his
life with his Annie, as he calls Mrs.
Warren.
We must now bid Captain Warren
and his young wife adieu, fondly ho
ping that their future life may be free
from sorrow. G•. J.

TUE SKY AN INDICATION OF TILE
WEATHEII.--The cobr of the sky, at
particular times, affords wonderful
good guidance. Not only does a rosy
sunset presage good weather, and a
ruddy' sunrise bad weather, but there
are other tints which speak with equal
clearness and accuracy. A bright
yellow sky in the evening indicates
wind; a pale yellow, wet; a neutral
grey color constitutes a favorable sign
in the evening, and an unfavorable ono
in the morning. The clouds arc again
full of meaning in themselves. If their
forms are soft, undefined, and full
feathery, the 'weather will be fine; if
their edges are hard, sharp and defi
nite, it will bo foul. Generally speak
ing, deep unusual hues betoken wind
or rain; while the more quiet and deli.
cute tints bespeak fair weather.=

An Enoch Arden of the Day,
An lowa paper has the following
story; which recalls the incidents of
Tennyson's poem: Thirty months ago,
a Gorman, living on White street, in
Dubuque, lowa, volunteered with the
21st lowa Infantry, and went to the
War. We shall call him Schmidt for
short. Ho left a wife who was rather
good-looking, quite industrious, very
frugal, and childless. Time rolled on,
and Schmidt, says the Dubuque Times,
went with his regiment to 'Vicksburg.
There he was shot ono day, and was
left for dead on the- field. The sad
intelligence was sent to his wife by
his captain, and elm immediately ob
tained the assistance of a lawyer, and
secured his back pay and a widow's
pension. She drew the latter regular.
ly, and, with what she earned, man
aged to live comfortably. In a few
months she attracted the attention of.
one Schones, a miller by occupation. '
Ho Wooed and won, and for him she
gave up the pension. They wore
married last summer. The course of
true love ran smooth with them until
last Saturday morning, when, just,
after they had finished breakfast, Mr.
Schmidt, the first husband, opened
the door and walked in!
"Here was a fix! Mrs.—What
would her name be in such a case?—
shrieked; Mr. Schones turned pale and
trembled,for Schmidt looked vengeance
after he had surveyed the scone a mo
ment and taken all its meaning in.
After several minutes of silence,
Schones revived, and boldly asked
`What was to be done?' Schmidt sat
down and told his story. He was
wounded, not severely, near Vicks
burg, and taken prisoner, and the reb
els carried him away with them.
From time to time he bad boon in
Southern prisons, until three weeks
since, when he was exchanged. He
came to Dubuque as soon as be could,
and hastened to his home. He recei
ved no intimation of his wife's mar
riage until ho entered the house that
morning. As he concluded his story,
his feelings overcame him, and be
wept, and she wept also. But it all
ended in the second husband's refusal
to give the wife up. She, we are in
formed, refused to express a prefer
ence, and said the two men might
settle the matter between themselves.
For four days both men kept very
close to the house, and bad many ar
dent discussions over the difficulty.
But the matter ended on 'Wednesday
last. The returned husband offered
Schones twentyfive dollars to evacu
ate the premises and leave him in
possession of 'Ahnie.' Schones accept
ed the offer; pocketed the money, and
left. Schmidt is now with his wife."

WhO has been confined a prisoner for
nine months in the pens of the South:
Four FOSTER , Jacksonville,Florida , l
May 2d,1865.
DEAR FATHER:
I seat myself once more to write to
you, to tell you that I am still alive
and exchanged. I reached our lines
on the morning of the 29th of April,
and was glad to get sight of the old
stars and stripes once more. I was
captured on the 22d day of July, and
have been almost starved to death
ever since. I will tell you what we
drawed for rations: one half pint of
beans, and a quarter of a pound of
beef, for a days rations, and - no salt to
salt that with; and no shelter to sleep
under. After I was first captured they
took me to camp Sumpter, Anderson
villa, Georgia, and there staid until
the latter part of August, and then
we went to Macon, Georgia, and
staid there till in September; then they
took us to Savannah, Georgia, and
kept us there ono month; then took
us to camp Millen, Georgia, and there
staid two weeks; then they took us
to Blackstone; from there to Thomas
ville, and from there wo marched to
Camp Sumpter again and staid until
April; they heard the yankees were
for us and they run us to Macon; they
heard that our troops were making a
raid down through there, and the old
captain in command of us, got orders
to take us back to Thomasville. We
went to Albany, then to Thomasville
again, and from there to--City, from
thereto Balden, and then they march--
ed us through to Jacksonville, 20 miles,
where they let us go, and told us to
go through. I almost cried when I
hoard the fife and drum, and seen the
old stars and stripes once more. Wo
will go up the river to Hilton Head
in a few days. We will draw clothing
hero, and we will got pleanty to eat.
I would like to write more, but I will
not have time, for I have got charge of
twenty-five men, and have to serve
out rations to them three times a day,
and it takes all the time I have got.
I think that we will get a furlough as
soon as we get recruited up a little;
wo are so poor that we can't, get a
round. I have not been sick, but I
am weak and poor. I will not weigh
over 110 pounds; when I was captur
ed I weighed 176 and have been redu
ced the difference in nine months.

A TERRIBLE DUEL —A few years
since, as a New England gentleman,
whose name we shall call Brown, was
passing a few days in ono of our West
ern eities, he had the misfortune, unin
tentional/y, to offend the susceptible'
honor of a tall militia colonel, who'vias
one of his fellow-boarders. flis apolo
gies not being satisfactory, a challenge
was sent to him, which, however, he
declined, from conscientious scruples.
The colonel who by the way, had' won
in two or three encounters quite a
reputation as a duelist, at once con
ceived that his opponent Was a CO7-
ard, and resolved to disgrace hint in
the taco of
. all the assembled - ovisdom
in the house. Accordingly, tho next
day, at dinner-time, in marched, the
the
duelist, armed with a cowhide, and
advancing to Brown's chair,proceeded
to dust his jacket in the most appro
ved' style'. Brown was astonished.
Luckily, he had been lieutenant of

FELLO* CITIZENS : UM the
who drew up the ordinance of , Seees4-
sion in the Legislature.of Arkansas.
have been in the field fightinge,gainit4 - -
the Union for nearly four yeare;
now I am a conquered and whipped
man. [Laughter.] :As I Was:gallanCin,
going out to fight, I now proribse to be.
gallant at surrenderingend submitting;';
to the arms of the Government that we
,cannot
whip, [Laughter.] I have no ,
contempt for Federal authority new, if'
I ever bad. Ido not think there is A.
manly bosom in the Smith bat that has , :
higher respect for Northern - gallaUirr .
than when, we went into the ,fight.:
There, may be some 'Mai in the Northe
who, may think . 'that the South Bail d
fiendthe death of our Jainc;d

Prosiddtit, butl.know that theieople
of the South indium over .his death,:
and feel that theiltuye friend.
The North have maintained d,his coif.>
filet nobly, and the South have. noth;..;
ing to be ashamed ofi,: lam of
;the„ South.rrthereis somethings in:thei-. ,

great. , So, I say that theßouth.is not,
an insignificant people; and if so great.
people as they are cannot .whip tbs ,
world, who cannot come to: , the int:
evitable.conclusion -that the. North
greater? ..[Laughter.] 'And: I

it is our 'duty to 'repent and go baCk to-
this great national` hureha-repent; get`'

[Laughter.] I know we will receive
honorable audjust terms. When I had ,
an interview with the President,: hi
