THE GREAT MEDICAL DISCOVE
RY!
DR. WALKER'S CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERS,
More than 500,000 Persons bear "testimony to
their Wonderful Curative Effects.
WHAT ARE THEY?
TAEY ARE NOT A VILE FANCY DRINK
Made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits, and
Refuse Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened
to please the taste, called “Tonics,” “Appetiz
ers,” “ Restorers,”, «fcc., that lead the tippler on to
drunkeness and ruin, but are a true medicine,
made from the native Roots and Herbs of Cali
fornia free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They
are the GREAT-BLOOD PURIFIER and LIFE
GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Renovator and
Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poi
sonous matter, and restoring the blood to a
healthy condition. No person can take these
Bitters according to Directions, and remain long
ftnwell.
8100 will be given for nn incurable case, pro
vided the bones are not destroyed by mineral
poisons or other means, and the vital organs bb
yond the point of repair.
For Inflammatory and CUronlo Rheumatism,
and Gout, Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, Bilious,
Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases or
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these
Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseas
es are caused by Vitiated Blood, which Is gener
ally produced by derangement of the Digestive
Organs.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find
its impurities bursting through the skin in Pim
ples, Eruptions or Sores: cleanse it when you
tind it obstructed and sluggish In the veins
cloanso It when It is foul, and your feelings will
tell you when. Keep the blood pure and tho
health of the system will follow.
PIN, TAPE, and other WORMS, lurking in
tho system of so many thousands, are effectual
ly desttoyedand removed. * ,
In Bilious, Remittent,and Intermittent Fevers
these Bitters have no equal. For full directions

'•MY TBICMPH.”
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER,
6 living friends who love mo /
O dear one gone above mo!
O careless ofother fame,
Heave to you my name.
Hide It from Idle praises,
Save It from evil phrases;
Why, when dear lips that spake It,
Are dumb, should strangers wako It ?
v Lot tho thick curtlu fall;
I.bettor knowthau all
How little I have gained,
How vast tho uuattalned.
Not by the page word-painted
Let life bo balncd or sainted :
Deeper than written scroll
The colors of tho soul.
Sweeter than any sung
My songs that found no longue; ‘
Nobler than any fact
My wish that failed of act.
Others shall sing tho song,
Others shall write tho wrong,—
Finish, what I begin,
And all I fail to,win.
What matter, I or they ?
Mine or another’s day,
■So tho right word bo said
And life tho sweeter made?

RETRIBUTION,
BY BEVERLY.
“A haughty spirit coraeth before a fall.”
“ It was an ancient looking house, with
its great deep windows, clumsy stone
steps, and dark, heavy doors; nay, there
was about it more than a look of olden
days. Sombre almost to dismalness,
was that old, dust-covered, time-stained
home of the proud-spirited, high-temper
ed f exclusive Graildervills. It had been
handed down along with the Grander
vill plantation, from sire to son, for seve
ral generations ; yet so rich end inexhaus
tible is the alluvial valley of the Mississ
ippi that the GrandevlU' plantation was
as black and loamy iu soil at the time of
which we write as when first the forest
of heavy cane was cut off*,,generations
back, to let’iu the fructifying.rays of old
Sol. " .
Richard Grandervill had sprung from
an overbearing, high-tempered, proud
race of sires. The family had been per
petuated since its lirst settlement in Lou
isiana by onlyone son to each generation,
until Richard took the place'of bis fath
er in the important matter of extending
the family to another lino of Grander
vills. The fickle dame, Fortune, then
set her mind upon the,extinction of his
name; and to him was born only a
daughter, who, notwithstanding a sec
ond marriage, was the only 'child ever
given him.
This fair, chubby little creature at
once became the especial aversion of her
father. The handsomer she-grew the
more he.seemed to disliko'lier, for in
truding her* feminine form in 'place- of
tho true Grandervill, the male heir,
whom .he* regarded as the right of the
family, out of which she had. cheated
him. No matter how rapidly she devel
oped into a strength of character like his
own, tboro wao ho getting ovai* Ifc. no for
giving the fraud practiced upon him p. t
ler coming into, tho world. Ritter rail
ings against the-loving mother for pre
senting him with a daughter soon chaf
ed the high spirited life out of her.
The second wife had married him for
his money and had no tyanuical love,
lashing her into discontent; so lived on
iu spite of him.
The chi|d whom he reared by oppres
sion and storms of passion, after growing
to womanhood, was not permitted to
know a man whom he had not intro
duced- to her; for he had determined to
wed her to one who .would, by an act of
Legislature, accept with her hand.and
fortune the name of Richard Grander
vill. When was Cupid known to fleo
the wrath of tyrannical father? He af
fects shady bowers, rippling streams,
•flowered dolls, moonlight and starlight;
but defies bolts, bars and angry mand
ates.
The morning was clear and beautiful,
with varying shades of rich.golden and
amber. t&Jp softly resting upon waviug
cane, graceful corn and branching cotton
for miles of level earth around the plan
tation, when Mrs. Grandervill seated her
self at -the breakfast table, paler than
usual.
‘Where is Myrua, madamo?'
‘The servant tells mo she Is not iu her
room. I have sent out around the
grounds to have her looked for.'
This answer came forth faintly, and
she trembled as she gave the reply.
‘How dare she absent herself from the
table? I will teach her what it is to pre
sume to violate the rules of my house.'
From garden to orchard, from orchard
to.lawn, his augry csll rang throughout;
no answer came; he flew back to the
house, from“ room to room her name
sounded loudly and violently ; -his own
voice echoing back, gave a mocking re
ply *, up the stairs he went three stops at
abound.
Out from Myrna’a chamber Mrs. Grau
dervill came, holding a folded paper in
a cold, trembling hand; a stony white
ness settled upon her pain-distorted fea
tures. ' Without award theenraged fath
er caught it from her. ,
‘Father: If I was 100 weak to resist
your tyranny, I have at least outwitted
you and thwarted . the dearest purpose
of your life. Ere you get this I shall no
longer be a Grandervill*
‘lt is useless to follow me; oven should
you ovettako mo you will meet a map
more powerful than yourself, and quite
as deterrainedr , • '
‘lf X regret anything in this act it is for
my weak, submissive stepmother, for I
verily believe that you will now kill her
simply for being a woman. If she dies
suddenly I shall surely ferret out the
cause. Your dutiful daughter,
‘MYRNAv'
The fiend glittered in Iris eyes, as he
crushed the paper hard in his hand and
muttered, from betweeu sot teeth and
livid lips: . • . ,
'Yes, I well pursue her. aud if she has
married against my .will, I will slay her
before his very eyes.’
The great brawny arm outstretched in
space, the clenched fist shook as if before
his victim ; the chest heaved heavily ;
the eyes glared wildly and fiercely bright,
then rolled back in their, sockets, with a
leaden hue glazed upon them, and he
dropped as one dead, save the white
froth oozing from his purple lips.
Still was tho house, as the wife had
him silently borne to a bed. She never,
left the room until the physician said
he would recover; then a few hours rest
and she was back to wait, watch and
tend: but the.mind only was with her
duty, the soul was watching a proud,
haughty, vindictive woman madly adrift
upon life’s tempestuous sea.
Three days old the hard, cruel man
hover between life and death; the death
of such a muu is Invested with peculiar
horror; a dark pall seemed wrapped
about the house during those days ol un
certainty ; even tho fun loving negroes
walked lightly aud whispered low until
the crisis had passed. ~ . .
..Wo leave tho home that Myrna had
deserted, and some three years after, we
turn to a cottage situated in tho outskirts
of tho Cresent City. Rare Jlowera and
shrubs surrounded It in such taste that
fancy might have been excused for sup
nosing that Venus had taken a moon
light gambol with tho boy Cupid through
tho grounds, and every foottread had
called to life some exquisite beauty* Tho
interior of tho cottage was voluptuously
luxurious, with its groat arm-chairs,
poft, springy lounges,. Turkish-loolUug
0
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY. APRIL 21, 1870
ottomans, turfted carpets and rich, dark,
damask hangings; while a grand piano,
harp, guitar and flute gave evidence that
its occupants wore votaries of pleasure,
who knew well how to enjoy the luxu
ries of wealth.
It was tho middle of April, when in
the Bouth every hue of nature is as deli
cately fresh as tho golden tinges of tho
early rising sun ; but upon tho night of
which wo speak, a drizzling rain had
been sp long falling, that damask hang
ings and tufton carpets could not wholly
close out a" damp chill. The bouse was
as still as if no living creature was with
in ; a woman sitting in the
luxurious enclosure of one of those great
arm-chairs, there seemed no living thing
to add life to the elegant apartments.
Alone she sat, with the daily paper
crushed in her band, an open envelope
and a check for a thousand dollars lying
on the table; no line came with it, only,
tho paper, with a short paragraph mark
ed in great brackets. Letters, words,
sentences and paragraph seemed burning
in upon her brain and festering in her
heart. It was a fearful thing to look
upon the violent workings of tuat hand
some face; the glands of the throat swol
len out rohnd and full, the delicate veins
enlarged to great purple cords, the
mouth as white and fixed as marble.—
Now and now the chlist heayed and fell,
but no groan, escaped her lips, only a
hissing sound as the breath camo and
went through tho clinched teeth. Great
God, was she woman or fiend ?
She arose; herstep was even and firm,
her frame had uo more bend or curve
than had it been wrought of iron., Bbe
moved to a bed iu an adjoining room and
stood over as fair a boy as ever gave back
a rippling laugh to caress of mother, but
no softened light stole over the rigict
features; only a convulsed shudder pass
ed through the stately frame. She turn
ed away, drew about her a cloak and
hood and went forth into the chill rain—
went forth into the dark, pitiless night,
heeding only the black storm within her
own heart.
CHAPTER 11.
Yon palatial looking residence,’ within
a few blocks .of Canal street, vies with
• the enchantment of the East in elegance.
To-night, a blaze of light throughout the
apartments reflects from mirrored walls,
room after room,’crowded with guests.—
The house is thrown open for the first
reception, after their return from Europe,
of Edward Durant, and bride. The mar
riage of these two in high life, six
months before, gave the fashionable
world of New Orleans nine days of gossip,
and now they had returned to tyke the
lead in that same New Orleans world.—
Strange to tell, true happiness crowned
the blessings of wealth and position, for
love mingled into one two lives that
marrirge had united. The night was a
; aoft, balmy October night. In an inter
nal between the dances, the fair .young
bride stole a moment from the crowd to
pause before a window for air. Edward
Durant stepped to her side.
‘Darling are you weary ?'
‘Slightly. 7
Concealed from observation by the
ft Ids ofa heavy curtain, he placed a hand
on her shoulder and drew her head to
his breast. For an instant she rested
there,, when her heart gavea quick bound
and she started forward, pale and tremb
ling.
‘What is it, my precious wife ? What a
timid little bird you are. Surely nothing
can harm you when I ain by you.*
• ‘Oh, husband, that same horrid fuco
peered at us from over the railings that
frightened me so the night before our de
porfnro {Vkf TT.nvnpn. Who oan- shn hft?
Such a handsome, yet fiendish looking
woman I never before saw. I am sure
her face will haunt me to the Inst day of
my life. 7 , r
The husband was ghastly white, and
his Jlipswero closely pressed as he again,
drew her caressingly to his breast; but
the deep shadow of the curtain conceal
ed it from the frightened wife, and when
bespoke the voice was al
mostlightin tone:
. ‘Dearest, how nervous you are! I have
not seen the face either time, but T shall
watch until Ido, and if she bo flesh and
blood, I will soon find the means of rid
ding you of her. . Bo cheer up; feel that
I am ever guarding you, and fear noth
ing; come back to tberefreahment-room
ami . take a glass of wine. Our. guests
must not see yoii so pale and agitated, 7
They soon joined their guests. The
dreaded face no more, awoke the fears of
the young bride, and at the close of the
entertainment she bade adieu to
guests with the usual vivacity.
Two. weeks after, as twilight drew her
soft,” dusky, mantle over the earth, ere
the dazzling gaslights eclipsed her gen
tle, dreamy light, the young bride walk
ed the porch of her elegant homo’, while
a bright smile played over her beautiful
features, lighting them up with a fresh
brilliancy, seen only when given by a full
joy of the heart. Thegato-latch clicked,
and a tall, gaunt form, bent with age, a
stray gray lock falling out from a black
sun-bonnet, slowly entered.
‘Lady, will you buy some candy? It is
very nice. You cannot get like it any
where else. I make it myself. 7
As the dainty little basket opened to
display tbe snowy bits of candy, Ella
Durant’s heart, out fulness of its
own happiness, was* touched with ex
ceeding pity for. the distress of poverty,
and calling for a fruit salver, emptied the
entire contents of the basket, and drop
ped in it as it was held out.to receive the
pay, a llve-dollar bill, The old woman
only bowed her head low in token of
thanks. Mrs. Durant thought her heart
-was too full for words, and was glad to
escape them. Could her eyes have fol
lowed her beyoud the corner nod seen
her drop the note from the basket, with
a proud scorn curling a fine mouth, she
would have changed her opinion toques
tioning astonishment, as the erect figure,
no longer bent itself to the alow steps of
age, but hurried forward with all the
elasticity of youth. ' Gaunt her frame
was,, but seemed rathor as if terrible pas
sions or suffering had stolon away the
flesh than age. The strange woman en
tered beneath a low roof in the outskirts
of ITenchtown; went straight back, and
disrobing herself, placed the faded black
dress upon the open grate fir© and stood
watching the curling smoke and, ascend
ing blaze until the.last vestige was ashes;
then applying a bellows to the level of
tbe coals, blow them up the chimney,
then the black bonnet, and next the
.basket, and nothing remained to toll the
J tale in case she was traced-even tbe gray
wig was a charred cinder.
Had the young bride seen all this, she
would not have continued to walk up and
.down, slowly eating the candy, and try
ing to discriminate as to its peculiar fla
■ vor. Two hours after the house'was in
In. frightened commotion, and Edward
ffiurant hung in speechless agony over
tho writhing form of his beautiful young
wife. Oh! it was terrible to look upon
that lovely creature tossing in the dread
ful distortlonsof pains, which the strong
est might not bear; and see death surety
stamping itself upon the face as dear to
his eyes as the sunlight to flowers.
Neither love nor wealth might stay
tho icy hand. Morning saw the husband
bereft of his young wife, bereft of all that
made life worth having.
The physicians said iho died of chole
ra, and tho wretched husband upbraided
. hlmsell that he had not left tho city with
the first appearance of the disease.
The announcement gave tho servants
a fright, and two fled tho house at once
A youth, whoappeared to bo about eigh
teen or nineteen, offered to supply* their’
place; averring that ho could do us much
us they both did.
Tho need was immediate, and notwith
standing that white servants wore then
rarely employed, tho housekeeper took
him witlvbut few questions.
Hia work was readily and well done,
yet he found time to be’ often present
with tho muster. Hud Edward Durant
been less absorbed in grief, lie would
have noticed that’the hoy stood back in
tho shadow of the room, and seldom
spoke j and now and then, as ho passed
1
beneath tho light, bo might have aeon
strange workings of passion on tho hand
some, bo.vish face. •
Loug after the neighborhood was quiet
in sleep, Edward Durant stole silently
to tho side of his dead.
Ho cast himself upon tho lifeless body
and pressed warm, living kisses Upon
cold lips that had never before refused to
give back tho loving pressure to his touch;
ho took the dead face between hla bauds
and laid his cheek down upon the mar
ble flesh; ho sank upon his knees and
tried to pray, but his heart rebelled.
‘My God! my God! why hast thou for
saken me?* was all that his heart would
utter; and the exclamatldn came wild
ly forth.upon the stillness of the night.—
A voice low and husky with passion
came as if from the dead:
‘Because you betrayed and forsook an
innocent woman; becauafc you deny
your own child. 1
•He started to his feet aud glared
senrchingly around; no living creature
was seen ; bo strode through every part
of tho room; he looked in adjoining
rooms; no one was found.’ He seemed
alone in all the house, with his
could not enter that room again Sshe
voice had been too distinct, too vindic
tive.
Surely the dead, even his own loved
wife, had become the avenging angel of
mother and child.
Wildly he pressed his cold, clammy
hands over his mad brain ,aud fled to trfe
most remote corner of the house. Morn
ing came—the dead was burled from his
sight.
He could not return to the homo re
cently so dear tohim, so wandered forth
anywhere out in the open air, but go
where he would the avenging spirit fol
lowed, and in some quiet hour of the
night upbraided him with his desertion
of a betrayed woman and her innocent
child. Conscience became a living tort
ure- His brain seemed maddening; his
heart was one burning passion of re
morse ; , yet ho would have preferred
death to taking that woman to his heart
as wife after Ella had rested there in al
her chaste purity and sacred, wifely trust.
Ho rarely remained in the house; he
only seemed to-live while out of doors. .
He was passing from street to street to
check the slow fever burning out his
life, when a light hand was laid in a firm
grasp upon his arm.
!Edward Durant, come with me ! 7 was
hoarsely whispered in his ear. Ho would
fain have torn uimocU nway, but a spoil
seemed laid upon him that he could not
resist; light ns that touch was it seemed
like a grip of Iron upon his arm, he could
but obey.
Rapidly.she drew him on, on far down
in Frenchtowu. i Low was tho roof she
passed him under; on she led him to a
little bed-side; a hoy, beautiful, with the.
promise of manly glory upon every feat
ure, lay, with his dark tresses thrown
back upon the snowy pillow, the other
across the little chest, and a smile, as
lovely as if caught from Heaven, playing
fitfully and dreamily over his features. —
The picture was one for a Raphael’s pen
pil.
‘Look upon your boy, Edward Durant
and tell me if I, his mother, may yet
bear your name ? If ho'may go forth in
life from his father’s roof, bearing his
father’s name and inheriting his fortune ?
Answer me, Edward Durant, as if God
himself questioned you. If .yon say yes,
I will wait one year. Nor need our mar
riage be binding upon you save before
the world ; nay I will have myself re
ported dead and leave the countryi You

‘A deserted woman will find no diin
culty in hiding herself from the world,
once, and for all* will you in tho eight of
God and man, make me your lawful,
wife, and acknowledge your son before
the world ?’
Hecastoue look upon her, and turned
away. Slie was answered as decidedly
ns if he had spoken. ' • < ■
Then let your life bo thrice cursed with
murder.'
Quick as thought she drew a short,
keen dagger and plunged it Into the
babe’s breast, and sprang back from the
grasp of Durant, exclaiming:
‘Live, wretch, and die every hour of
your existence! 7 and plunged the dog
ger deep-in her own heart.
, Edward Durant staggeied back, and
fled into the street, a gibbering mad
man. Never from that hour did one ray
of reason.sparkle from his eyes.
The following morning, as the popu
lace crowded to the scene of tho murder
ed mother and child, a stranger, fiom
the country, joined the- concourse, and
entered beneath the low roof, looked
upon the dead, and muttered, in hard
drawn breaths: ‘Oh! -the boy, too! 7
Tho face darkened, and th© eyes glared;
but hi# will was' mighty. The blood of
fhq Grunderyill’s must be spared this
sbnmo, and by its powerful effort, that
which coursed in his veins was forced
down from the head, and.made to circu
late evenly. A few words whispered
among the crowd; money freely and
judiciously dispensed,and itsoon dispens
ed. Money is potent; afew hours sufficed
to bury tho dead. Sosuddeuly andsilently
went the crowd; so quietly was borne
forth the dead in oue coffin, that suspi
cion was soon allayed among the curi
ous.
The mornjng papers only announced
that an unknown woman was. found
dead in No. , street , Frenchtown,
That afternoon the stranger took passage
for some miles up the river; the next
morning Richard Graudervill was found
dead in his berth. Dame Fortune had tri
umphed.-’•Not a living soul remained to
hand down thenamoof the Grandervills;
nay, not one in whom flowed tho proud
blood of that old family.
The haughty spirit had its fall; and
wrong and oppression its retribution.
A youno gentleman happening to sit
at a church In a now adjoining one in
which sat a young lady for whom he con
ceived a sudden and violent attachment,
was desirous of entering into a courtship
on,the spot, but the place not being suit
able for a formal declaration, the case
suggested tho following plan : *
He politely handed his fair neighbor a
Bible, opened, with a pin stuck in the
following text: Second Epistle of John,
verse 5: ’ • .
“And now 1 beseech thee, lady, not as
though I wrote a new commandment
unto thee, but that which we bad from
tbe beginning, that wo love one another.”
She returned it, pointing to the second
chapter of Ruth, tenth verse:
“Then she fell on her face, aryl bowed
herself to the ground, and said unto him:
Why have I found grace in thine eyes,
that thou ahouldst take knowledge of
me, seeing that I am a stranger?”
He returned the book, pointing to the
13th and 14th verses of the Third Epistle
of John:
“I had many things to write, but I will
not with pen and ink write unto thee.
But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and
we shall speak face to face.”
From tho above interview a marriage
took place.
An allegory.—The old man was
toiling through-tho burden and heat of
the day. Jn cultivating his field with his
own hands and depositing the promising
seeds in tho fruitful lap of yielding earth.
Suddenly there stood before him, under
the shade of u huge linden tree, a vision.
The old man was struck with amaze
ment.
.T am Solomon, 7 spoke the phantom,
Ju a friendly voice. ‘ What are you doing
hero, old man?'
‘lf you are Solomon. 7 replied the ven
erable laborer, ‘ how can you ask this ?
In my youth you sent me to an ant; I
saw its occupation, and learned from that
insect to be industrious and to gather.—
What I then learned 1 have followed out
to this hour.’
‘You have only learned half your, les

Tin; RENEGADE'S DOO.V.
A STORY 6f COLORADO. '
A atorm bad raged all day ; the bellow
ing blnst carrying with it dirt and fine
particles of sand, until the cloud was not
only blinking, but till it was next to im
possible for a human being to venture
from under covtr without having the
very flesh lacerated or peeled from his
bones. Tents lay scattered and rent In
every direction, and even some of the
‘dobio’ quarters bad been leveled with
their mother earth. Indeed, Fort Sedg
wick presented much such an appearance
as might have been expected had a band
of Sioux Indians made a successful as
sault upon the place.
As the darkness came on the wind
ceased to some extent, and then a steady
storm set in, almost as terrible as was
the sand-tempest of the day. It was
densely dark, and this darkness was fa
vorable to the movements of a savage
band, who had lurked In a shallow ra
vine behind the bluffs, back about two
miles from the Platte river.
The bugles at the fort had just sounded
the tattoo and taps, when one of the baud
referred :to arose from his prostrate posi
tion ; and as he did so, gave vent to a
I coarse and mocking laugh.
Immediately after, a small light shot
up. He had ignited a match for the pur
pose of lighting his pipe; and the brief
flame, as ho protected it from the wind
with his fift cap, revealed his features.
He was hideous in the extreme; and,-
although painted like a savage, it was.i
easy for an experienced eye to detect the I
fact that he was not one. Then his voice |
and words were another proof; for turn
ing around he spoke thus:
‘Mou, you will understand that our
work must be quickly performed. At
the first alarm those whom I have desig
nated will dash Into the quarter-master's,
(ho sutler's and commissary's. I have
business at the commander’s quarters;
and this I shall perform alone. I shall
be successful; .and if you are not equally
so, the fault will bo your own—not mine.
In all casqs of this kind you rhuatreaolve
that you will succeed or die. and the
you will never know the meaning of
failure. Come, and bo cautious,! 7 .
Some twenty or thirty dark forms were
seen to arise as if out of the ground, apd
then they silently took their way down
the bluffs toward tho fort. Soon, how
ever, the band .separated, and every one
of the number proceeded" on warH alncly.
Those who had.received their instruc-
tions from the master spirit simply con
tented themselves with gaining certain
Snsitions, and avoiding every sentinel.
V)t so with the leader.
When this person bad arrived within
a hundred yards of the hospital ho paused
and stood silently surveying the camp.
Here and there were dim lights, butbar
racksand tents generally were wrapped in
gltfom. After a time the man muttered:
‘Everything favors me to-night, and I
feel like a tiger. Oh, shall I succeed?
If I do. not, death will be tho only thing
which will prevent me. Do I love that
girl ? I scarcely know, I have strange
feelings when in her presence. Some
thing of the past domes up before me ; but
the recollection is like a dim dream. I
am puzzled. Many is. the time I have
felt an inclination to spring upon her,
even as the tiger would upon the young
fawn, and rend her to pieces; and then I
have felt again as though I must hold
her to my breast, and weep. Curses
upon It —what is this? Hang mo if I
don’t think that a tear drop has already
started from my eyes and dampened my
cheek. Pshaw I Mad Leon the Rene--
gade weep! Preposterous. It Is only u
moUfld tpft-dron—molted . it*.
with my warm cuuok, tfut nover shall
my heart be melted. 7
Slowly did the renegade now advance
and as he apnroached the hospital he
crouched lower and lower, until he actu
ally crawled upon his belly like a ser
pent. Now ho reached the building,
and then lie clung,closely to Us walls,
still retaining hia prostrate position.
It was but a moment after that a foot
fall was heard, and a guard passed the
villain, who was not discovered. Tho
soldier was closely wrapped in his great
coat, while lie carried his carbine in such
a manner as to protect it from tho damp.
He dirt ■ not even dream that death was
hovering so near him. A moment after,
ho .turned, and then paused exactly at
the place where the renegade was lying.
But quick as the lightning's flash he.was
burled to th.e earth and the dark monster
was upon his breast. A sharp cry arose;
and then it became a death wail, merg
ing into n moan and silence, fora huge
knife was plunged into the quivering
breast of tho guard, and his life gushed
forth with his crimson gore.
The murderer had clutched the throat
of his victim in order to prevent an out
cry from the dying man, and-hud only
partially succeeded. He now raised his
head and listened attentively, but no
sound gay© indication that tho voice
of the soldier, hod attracted attention. — «
Raising tho corpse in his arms, the reue- •
,gnde bore him some distance to tho rear,
and .deposited him in the dead weeds.
Doing so, he exclaimed *•
‘A good general always leaves an open
ing for retreat in case of defeat, and [
will do so by disposing of Svery guard in
this direction. There is but one more to
deal with, I think, and .he is behind the
quarters of the general commanding.’'
•Mad Leon crept forward as before and
soon the soldier referred to shared tho
same fate as the first; but his cry was
louder, and was not entirely unheeded,
for a window, where a light had been
burning, was thrown up and a voice
asked:
‘What is the matter down there? 7
Tho dying man struggled hard-tospeak;
but this the renegade prevented, while
he answered himself;
‘Nothing that I am aware of.’
‘But I heard a cry. 7
‘So did I; it was one of the prowling
coyotes. 7
No further Question was asked, and
tho villain saw that tho light which he
had before observed had disappeared.
He knew that, tho strong wind had ex
tinguished it, as tho window was raised,
and he muttered :
‘May the devil favor me, and leave
that opening before he gets another light,
for I can then enter. 7 But tho devil did
not so favor him. The sash came down
with a crash, aud the jingle of the glass
told that some of the panes had been
broken by the fall. This was of some
importance and the villain know it.
The guard once quiet, Leon cautiously
mounted a shed and crept to the window
whore he had heard tho voice. Now he
could hear voices, for there wore two
persons in conversation. Applying his
ear to one of the broken panes, he listen
ed. He could hear every word distinct
ly, aud tho blood ran like lightning
through his veins as tho sentences wore
understood by him.
• The voice of a female exclaimed
through her sobs:
‘O, Harry Graham, is It possible that
you tell mo this? I shall die. Ob, I
cannot live, for you no longer love me, 7
‘I only love you deeply,. Marianna, 7
was the reply.
‘Then why do you tell mo that I can
never be your wife ?’
‘I cannot explain —I dare not;’
‘You must, if you would not see mo
fall dead at your feet, or live to become u
rnauiac.’ -
‘Marianna, I feel that you have a right
to demand an explanation, and this much
I will tell you. Something which oc
curred years ago renders it necessary,
that, as a just avenger, I should kill your
father. Can Ido this aud then wed his
chlhl ?* ’ . ,
‘Why, then, did you over win my Jove?’
‘I was only Informed of the facts with
regard to you Ihjs day, uud I hastened at
once to toll you us much us I dare.
•Harry, you must toll mo all. I have
never known my father; and it’ his
crimes have been that ho deserves
death, I cannot blame tho hand that
strikes. For the love of heaven tell me

of ray own parents, and lor no other rea
son than that ho was rejected by my
mother. Ho swore the most deadly ven
geance ; but those who knew him did
not believe there was any danger. 1 can
well remember the night of that revenge,
however. The Ware of the flames which
consumed my home, is before me still;
and the yells of the red demons led by
Paul Blackburn, are yet ringing in my
ears. The ghastly and bloody forms of
my parents are before me; and evoh the
exultant words of their murderer are not
forgotten.’
'Ob, horrible’ And ray father was
this monster ?’
‘He was. And this is not all.’
‘Let mo know the worst.’
‘After my father’s marriage, your own
also took a wife, but his constant brutal
treatment of her proclaimed his hatred.
Who interfered to save his victims, and
with a single blow ho struck her lifeless
to the earth.’
*Hq murdered hia own wife—my moth-,
er?’
I ‘He did,'
‘But how were you saved—how wns I
saved ?’
‘Hero is a strange part of my story. I
was a boy of seven years, and you an in
fant of six months. I remember seeing
you fall from your mother's-arms as she
was stricken dowm I remember seizing
you in my own and crawling into a place
of concealment by tbo river a side. You
were taken from mo some ufter by
old brant, and although ! had forgotten
’ him and yourself, I could not forget
those events. Only to-daj v , as I before
informed you, the old man gave me these
particulars.’
‘Ts that cruel father—that .blood-stained
man—yet alive’.”
‘Yea, and I have just learned that, too.
I must seek him out for i shall never
rest until I have met him face to face,
and methim as the'avengerof my slaugh
tered parents and desolated home.’
The candle had been relighted, bdt it
only cast a feeble'ray around the apart
ment. Still it shone full upon the faces
of the speakers, one of whom was ayoung
officer, and the other a iovolygirl of some
eighteen years of ago. The villain out
side the window bad gradually become
1 more and more excited, and finally ex
tended his hand through the opening;
ho pushed back the spring and raised the
sash- fin nmiti/Mialv harl t-hio
that the lovers,did not observe the intru
der until ho leaped to thVir aides, hla eyes
blazing with an unnatural light, and bis
already bloody kuifo clutched to strike.'
Upon beholding him the young officer
leaped to his feet and asked :
‘Who are you ?.’
‘I am known as Mad Leon, the Rene
gade,’ was the firm response.
‘And wbat do you want here?’
‘I came for a single purpose, but I liud
that I have a double one.’
‘Then explain, and quickly too, or I
will call the guard.’
‘I will explain. Not, howevo, because
I fear your guard, I came for the single
purpose of currying away this girl to ray
mountain homo. But find I must kill
you.’
‘The game of death is one that two can
play at, you shall find.!
And Graham leaped toward the table
upon which were lying his two revolvers,
but a single shot was fired by the villain
and the officer fell. As he did so the
renegade seized the girl and cried :
•Go to those whom I sent to their
gjaves years ago, and tell them that

Here,'however, he met bis mortal, foe,

torn from Ilia grasp, and a single blow
from u huge knife sent the polluted soul
of the renegade before his Maker. Aa
the blood gushed forth, the monste let
tered a few bitter curses, ahd then fell
from the roof by the aide of the murdered
guard.
This was not the only work performed
by Brant. He had discovered the sava
ges, and a single volley, which blazed
out on the night air, sent a portion of

Lira; in GkrmanY,—You enter a Ger

door which rings a bell and thus announ
ces the ingress or.egr'ess of some one. At
the fool of the staircase you find a bell
handle, by ringing at which you call a
servant who conducts you to a parlor or
reception room on tile next floor, which
you enter.by knocks. You will find the
parlor and the best rooms in the house
adorned with beautiful’ pictuies on the
wall; and elegant laceourtiua at the wih
’dows, but probably without any carpet.
The door, however, is tessolated with
beautiful patterns iu various colors, and
varnished, oral least it is scoured till it
is as white us the driven snow. The
amount of flue white linen which a Ger

live o’clock in the afternoon and closed
at seven in the evening. In short, tire

naturalness and heartiness which have
almost died out in fashionable American
society, still exist in Germany in ail their
primitive perfection. ,
