Jennie was the Morning star of my lifel ong before I trod the many wide deserts of a wOHd, I pledged my’ hope to her.

So I wdtohed the open '6 bloom of her mind. I wondered .wlint -rings of truth wero bursting there to make !t a joy and a blessing on the earth. I 88w that every pulse was warm with a sa nd love; but it was not then that I learned lithe deep and abounding faith that had its •mo in the heart of my Jennie. _ Jennie was slim and graceful, with a light lap and a gentle dignity of demeanor, which, riih her joyful ways, was like tho freshness f shade near a’ sunny place. Her face was sif, with sometimes a pensive expression , 'was a good, loVing face, with soft, blue, hating eyes, full of beauty and tender tho’t. d smile always played bn the lips—not for- Sor of'gladness, but of charity, and content, Wd trust in the future to which her hope turned. And often a song poured dross lips, as though .some-happy bird wore ■sstled ■ in her bosom,-and sang with her ‘hath its hymns , of delight in the joys of do. ~b All this did Jennie seem,to mb* and more this she was j and she loved me, and I 148 confident in tor. affection. For X wqb young, and my .heart, was ; warm, and Jrnope was strong. * Z was buoyant as the “^ e zs, and’my life vraa for yeara a perpetual tommeFa day., It was.tho time when the springs of nature had hot been wasted Jgng the ffotle and ■ the cold;! it was the i SJ'deo BeMon when trust is the companion, "hath; itWßSthefirst harvest. which gar- into tha feosom tholo thoughts and omo -s?®’ on a bad of flowers* .hop©' olin^, ; fe*ding like a bee."

Anon, there 'camp rumors of a mighty host that-hod melted awayjn the North, and glutted with its blood tho-Hussian snows. Then there came o strange .ambition into my mind. My blood became hot. A cala- Antons frenzy filled my brain. The name of Glory consecrated all these murders to my Imagination, t would carry a flag in one of Hidsoarmies. I would mix in the crimson, throng.,., 1 would rnySelf bear a sword amid those foresft of flashing s'tCeK And I told this to Jennie. I-thought she Would ccrtaihly.blesayfto as.a bore. i tho’t She would bind 0 floal-f about my whist, and bid mo ‘go WlrCre.glory, waits thee,’ if I still remembered her. Bat, when, I said X should leave her for a while and 'opine book With ho nor and pride, and the mhtaofy of bravo aits, and the conscious gratulatiohh 'of a breast that never knew fear, she became pale' and looked at me sorrowfully, and fell upon' my neck, Weeping'most bitter tears. I asked her why sho could grieve, and said the-danger Was.one chance ni*ong innumerable proba bilities of Success. But she only sobbed and ’trembled, and pressed me- to her bosom and 'prayed the not to gm. I reasoned With Jennie. I tried to per suade her uf the'glory,of the war. I told her how : mubh more Worthy of ilovo she would think mo when 1 back adorned with laurels. (Oh how gtobh 'are the leaves that bloom from slaughter'!) I said her imago would bo thy companion ; hor voioo would be my vespor-bell, her smile, fnV star of the morning; hor face would be the visitant of my dreams;, her loVe'the mercy (hat would shield me from every danger. She listened with suspended sobs and,trembled, 'and all the while her eyes were appealing to my own, and penetrating to my heart, to invoke its faith, that I might not-tempt misfortune to blight the early bridal of our hearts. When I had done, her answer Was as if I had not spoken, ,for,still nbo only skid that I must not go. She gave no more reasons now. And I—did I deserve her love, when I tho’t that explaining and persuading were answers to the pleading tears, and swelling bosom, and quivering frame, and speaking eyes'of that maiden Niche shaken by her mournful fears ?. ‘ You will be changed when yoll return,’ she said. • I change I I know, I could not change I Why should 'Jennie, doubt my truth? I would prove it., My, mind was fixed. My fancy was flushed by ambitious anticipations. 1 was resolved to leave. Jennie, Ht length, when her'entreaties tailed, reproached me, but so gently, that her very upbraiding soun ded like a benediction. And so it was. It was not even the selfishness of affection. ; It was a pni'e, tender, earnest solicitude. She told me I whs breaking faith with her in thus going away to ’engage in war.. Was it for this that she had become tho affianced of my heart? Was it for this that she had pledged her love, with every sacred vow-, to answer mine ? Was it for all this I should takAmy hand from the pleasant cares of peace to Cor rupt. it in the villaniee of war'; that I should mix with tho worst ot my kind; that I should ride over tho harvests of the poor, and carouse in the glare of their burning hemes, and see. sweet’ babes made fatherless, and wives be reaved, and brides left desolate intbo world? - Oli, no. It was I that broke my pledge.. I was not true to my early vow-, I was not nil for her, I had made a new idol of my heart. I had declared I would never cause any sor row to her by denying to .her love one of its earnest wishes. And new I was doing this. I was making her grieve; I was risking the leaving her desolate to the end of her days. For the sake of what? For tho sake of a soldier’s ambition 1 Ambition I As though to wear the gray hairs of a .good old man yftir’e not a nobler hope than to die in a trench oi live, shuddering with- the memory of car nage, and fire, and blood, and all tho name less horrors of war 1 ' I cannot tell all the sorrows of that parting An infatuation burned in my bond, and blin ded mo. At length I went. Jennie’s last, blessing upbraided me more deeply than her first reproach. When she knew.that I should go, sho said not one more desponding word ; and then did I feel how gentle she was in sorrow, as Mle.wiis serene,in her days of joy-. But I comforted myself. I decided that Jen nie, good .as she wns-r-dear, loving, noble — could not dompflehend the idea of patriotism, And; once, a lhcught*of falshood, crossed my min'd.

This is far from being the real state of the case. So few families in Franco, may bo called wealthy, that most of the bright thitffcs wo sometimes sets in public are compelled Very practically to look after their own af fairs at home. There are, of course, excep tions Upper “bourgeoisie, and in the Faubourg St. Germain, sufficient to form a class ; hut what we should call mere fash ionables are rare in Paris—the 'city of elegando and intrigue. Half tho ladies who attend the Imperial balls have bgen In the kitchen that very day, scolding their Vd'nnes, and lifting up tho fids of thbir casseroles-. A really elegant dame spends the moV’ning at her toilet, and is ready to bo admired at four o’clock in the afternoon. Admirer's are not long iU coming. In many houses from four to five gentlemen call in, and are received in the salon by the lady alone. No visitor of her own is expected f and her husband is away making ‘calls on his own account.— If ha were to remain, and bo present at liis wife’s reception, he would be considered sim ply, ridiculous; and this is o, thing whfOU ho most especially avoids. Many .Frenchmen would rather be what they often arc, than run the- risk of being supposed to be guard ing against such an accident, These after noon meetings, however, are very pleasant; and when the lady of the house is clever and lively, are perhaps superior in enjoyment to tho soirees. A woman is never seen to so much advantage as when no rivals arO pres ent. She is then conscious of exercising un divided sway; none of her powers are Wasted; in spiteful watching for defects ,ih others, and there is no maliciousness in hOr amiability. Tns Russian Aruy.—the Russian army is', not intelligent. Beneath tho European cos tume in which it is tricked out, it still be trays its origin.

In Wannal appearance, nml formation, these Kaffirs are.n race of the moat manly and handsome peoplc'kuflwn among savages, and in meny of their points resemble tho New Zealanders. In mature they are gencr ally tall, their height in stature varying from five feet eight jnohea t«y six feet. Their muscular frame is remarkable for sym metry and beauty, as well hr great strength, but, their irms, from want of proper exercise 'to deyelope the muscles, (owing, probably, to their usual indolent mode of Ufe.yappeur small and disproportioned in sizo to the logs and body. In.ah of them the lower limbs .are'strikingly robust and fine, and onuses of deformity, are very rarely, to bo noticed, .among them. Their .carriage is stately and upright;—in many even majestic; and this is particularly obNervnhle in their chiefs, whose habitual attitude of case, and abrupt y'6t graceful actions in giving their commands are trdly eloquent and imposing. They are haught/and proud in their hearing, and car ry the bead quite erect and thrown - back.— Th© left arm. is usually laid across the chest, to support the.blanket or harass, which, care lessly slung over the left shoulder, is .their only coveting or article of clothing. This, when moving .quickly, they gather closer around them •, and then; throwing the second comer : pf it over, the right shoulder, they leave it to hang ia negligent folds across their fine, expansive, chests, reminding tho beholder much of the Roman’toga of old.— Their shoulders are square and firmly set, and, like the chest, very. broad. Their beards are large, but not disproportionate to their bodies; their forehead being elevated and intellectually formed, and in many cases very high, andfl n ©ty developed in a phren ological point of view. Thejr hair is not so thick and matted as in either;the negro or Hottentot races, from* whom’the Kaffirs wide ly dififer in all points of personal appearance. Their ears are largo, .bat well made, and Bcom generally to have become elongated by the weight of pendant ear rings and orna ments. Their featurrs, although much varied are fine—particularly the eyes, which are, keen, ddd piercing; and, although always unsteady; wandering, and stealthy, yet from tb'olr largo size and great brightness, and from ifyeir being set under, thdir broad, deep btowh,. the idea of cunning and deceit, which Undoubtediyiia their; notional charac ter, apd has usually to he found out by some dear‘bought experience, does noti at; first eighty impress a stranger. • The common col or of the eye is black’,, or dark brown, some what in harmony with that of their skins, which are, however, darker in. some tribes thab ih others ; especially in the •4“ raa P one ° and more'Ndrtherly bnos, . The nose also va ries in -T’Slnmhie tribes*,being broader and ihore of ttio than in the Gnikas or Galekas, assumes more of the-European character,- In many of them 1 the 'perfect Grecian and Roman nose are discernable. . These latter tribes appear, ,in all other-respects, to retain their original natibhallty of appearance. Monh'“ Loyal” Cotton StbalinO.— From Hotter to the Philadelphia Press from North (jatolino, it'would appear that Gen. Dutch Gap Sutler is likely to'bo brought to account for another stealing arrangement, involving a Urge lot of cotton, of which plunder fßb Government thief got only one-half of its share—the General and his friend's absorbing the baihnce. The correspondent says : « A singular circumstance connected with Gen. Butler’s cotton speculation has come to light; It soems that the chief of Geh, Shep- ICy’s staff, G. H. Johnston, resigned several months sipoe to enter, ns Butler’s chief agent, inti) the business of buying Sbttpn from the rebels in North .Carolina. , lie remained at this long enough to make over two' hundred and fifty thousand dollars &s his share, which hi) deposited in the First Nationalßank of Norfolk. i A few days ego the military com mission instituted by Gen.

He would con-, vey parcels home to a customer, carry his masters boots to the shoemaker, sbqroh dili gently for anything which fmd bban lpSt in the fields or the roadside, patiently watch fm article to .which his jltto'ntion had been dj-, reeled, and really, deemed to comprehend any command which Vras given him-.’ , Having bCep well oared for, id spifb of the oross, ho had.altaihed an extraordinary size, and was possessed of groat activity for so heavy an animal. His coat was coarse and heavy f und,, in allusion to hjs taVvjay, oqlor and something of magnanimity, in his looks, ho called Lion. t)f. a mild, peaceful disposition, though brave as. his royal-name sake. he was a favorite with all visitors to the store, and only an object of, terror -and dislike to thieves and marauders. His mas: ter had refused largo offers for him ; and at the period to whioh we particularly refer, he was in the very prime of his days. Aboutfiyo miles North-West of the village, and three from the main road, was a tract, of hilly land, known in the township as the Hampton Farm—a large portion of which was devoted to the rearing of sheep. The Hampton Farm* had, at different pe riods, suffered, as was supposed, from depre dtiou as of. wolves, whioh, though becoming scarce in the forests of ,the vicinity, wore oe oasiouly to bo mot with. : Forandro than a.year not an Individual had been shot in tho township ; nevertheless, sheep wore still worried from time to time, and suspicion At Just-fell upon the dogs-of the neighborhood. But the strictest scrutiny failed to detect a single plague-spot; and, accordingly, tho whole corporation of ours was pronounced to bo sound. If ho charge then reverted totho .wolves; but, though traps were set on the hills, and a watch continually kept, ao signs of a wolf could ho perceived. . n ( ..., , ■,, ~ ~ . A' few, nights after, ..vigilance had been re laxed, a sheepcat was broken into, and a num ber of tho .flock either'slain outright, or,so mangled as to render it necessary to pat the knife to tiiair throats.- The grazier and his mdn woro.jjreatlv on. raged at this, and a. price of twenty dollars —a largo sum for the neigh borhood— rWtis forthwith set upon;the depredator’s head. Ifroni tho oircumstar.ee of there being no snow upon th .s ground at the timp, it was, of qourso, impossible to track him ; but a close inspection of tho pretnesis established the fact.- that the animal was alone and of unusual size. From this tho conclusion was’ arrived at that it was a wolf, which had its den at a distance, most probably in the mountains, at ‘the foot uf which tho farm Was located. Several good hunters turned out with their dogs, hut utterly failed to strike the.trail, al though thesearoh was continued for poverpl days. At last, however, it .so chanced that lie one of these men was crossing a piece of land between the eheep-hills and main road, an hour or two before -dawn, he saw, by the' waning.light of the moon,-an animal, which he immediately conjectured to ho a wolf, ris ing an,elevation on his left at a long, loping pace, making, it appeared, for a run, about two hundred yards distant. The man stopped and bociced bis rifle, lint having no dog with him—his own having been worn out by tho .previous day’s.run— prudently forebore to fire so long as there ex isted a doubt of his being ablo'to sight a mortal part. The erdature passed him at fall .speed, directing .its course for the run, whither-thp hunter cautiously followeij, jje soon perceived that it had broken the.ibe, and-baited in the water, and under cover of inequalities in the grouud; he was able to steal unperceived within good covering dis tance. Taking deliberate aim bo pulled the trigger, and tho brute leaping up with .a loud yell, dropped dead on tho bank. The hunter carefully reloaded his.rifle, loosened his knife in its sheath, and with his finger at the guard of his piece, slowly advanced to the post; when lot instead of a grey wolf, to hia ut ter amazement ho immediately recognized, even ’by the imperfbqt, light, the, lifeless but still quivering carcass’ of USe etdreEoojjerb favorite dog’.
