THE MISTLETOE BOUGIE Tlio mistletoe hung In the castle hall. The holly ornncli shone on the old oak wall; And the baron's retainers were blithe and gay 'And keeping their Christinas holiday ; The baron beheld, with U father’s pride, His beautiful child, young Lovell’s bride; While sho with her bright cyca seemed to ho The star of the goodly company, OUrtho mistletoe bough! Oh! tbs mistletoe bough ; * , ' " I’m weary of dancing now,” she cried; “ Hero tarry amoment-ril hlde-I libido ; And Lovell, be sure thou'rt the tlrst to'trace The clue to ray secret hiding place.” Away she ran, and her friends began' . Knch tower to search ami ouch nook to scan; And young Lovell cried, “Oh ! whore dost thou hide? I’m lonesome without thee, my own dear bride.” Oh ! the mistletoe bough ! Oh ! the mistletoe boughl They sought her that night, and they sought her next day, And they sought hor'ln vain when a week passed away; In tho highest, tho lowest, tho loneliest spot Young Lovell sought wildly, but found her not. ‘And years flew by, and their grief at last Was told ns a sorrowful tale long past; And when Lovell appeared, tho children cried, ‘.'Scot tho old man weeps for his fairy bride.” ■ Ohf tho mistletoe bough! Oh I the mistletoe bought At length an old oak chest that had long lain hid Was found in tho castlo. They raised tho lid, And nskeleton form lay mouldering there In thebrtdal wreath of tho Duly fair. Oh J sad was her fate.” In sportive Jest She hid .from her lord in tho old oak chest. It closed with a spring; nnd her bridal bloom Lay withering there in a living tomb. Oil I tho mistletoe bough I ‘Oh! tho mistletoe bough t Miagiffrouritt JUST IN TT3II! I was coming up on a. steamboat from New Orleans to St, Louis. Tho night was oppressively warm, and I had gone out upon the deck for a bieath of .fresh air. . There were only two other persons’ 'there, a man and a woman, who were walking back and forth conversing to gether in low voices. As I passed them I heard her say : ‘Do you want to make me crazy? I tell you I can’t forget him, and its no use talking to mo about my duty, I don’t believe a word that wicked wo man says* He isn’t married again, lie isn’t dead ; he’s alivo suid-truo to me, I’m sure of it.’. The words were low, but intense and passionate, and I stopped involuntarily., ‘Don’t get excited and unreasonable, my dear woman. Look at the facts of tho case. You haven’t heard from your husband for nearly two years ; he left you with scarcely a week’s provisions on hand, and ten dollars in money; if it ■hadn’t been for me you and your child would have starved. You talk as if it was your duty to remain faithful to the memory ot such a man, and that, too, in spite of the proof you have received, by a direct revelation from heaven, that he not only deserted you, but married anoth er woman and lived with her as bis wife three months before he died.’ I can’t tell why, but there was some thing in the smooth, insinuating voice of the speaker that sounded, to me like the hiss of a serpent, and inspired mo with a feeling of abhdrenco that I couldn’tovercome. But! felt that I was doing wrong in listening to this conver sation, and so l turned away, somewhat reluctantly, for my sympathy ami curi osity were both excited. The next, morning I scanned the faces of the passengers eagerly, for X wanted to know how thd man looked whoso had impressed me so strangely. It had been ao dark the night before that I couldn’t see his features dislinetly. After a brief search I found him seat ed at the, break fast table, a long-.haired, lank visaged man, with thin Jlps and light blue eyes, that looked' hard and cruel, wilh a sanctimoniousness pervad ing his whole aspect. - I might have been prejudiced, but his face didn't impress me any more favorably than Ids voice had done. A little pale-faced woman sat on Ills right hand, whom I recognized at once as his companion tho night before. She held in her lap a child two or three years old, and was rather pretty than other wise, although her eyes were red ns i f .Tom conUnucTl ~ But the face which ch jelly attracted my attention was that of Ihe woman on his’left hand. Her complexion, in iis unearthly pallor, resembled, that of a corpse, her Jlps were livid and her eyes deep sunken,- and with dark circles around them, were dull nml expression less.' It was a face’, that at the same time, repulsed ami fascinated yon. She, too, as well us the other woman, seemed to bo under the control of the man whom I have described. 1 noticed n great many curious glances directed toward these persons during breakfast. Afterward, I learned who they were trom the talk of tiro pnsseu-. gcrls, among whom various rumors werp, afloat concerning them ; hut the only information upon- which I relied was given by the captain. The man,.it ap peared was a celebrated spiritualist with a wonderful gilt of.healing in his hands, who subscribed himselfS.fi. Johnson, M. D. Tiro woman with tile corpse-like face was a clairvoyant who always trav-, oled with,him, and went into trances for his benefit as often'as he desired. The two together were said to bo very success ful ns healing mediums. ‘I don’t know what to think of it,’ said the captain. 'There is something remarkable about th'ia clairvoyance. I am convinced that Johnson is an impos tor, but ns to the woman—why, I’d take my oath that she isn’t conscious of what she. says and does in those trances.— Johnson has a curious kind of power over her, and I believe his will actually forces her intoasomi-oomatose state, and puts the word in her mouth that'she is to say.’ ‘But who is the little pale-faced crea ture who accompanies them ?’ I inquir* ed. 'ls she a clairvoyant, too?’ 'Oh, no; but her husband left her nearly two years ago, and this Johnson has befriended her, for reasons of his own, I've no doubt. There's a mystery about it, somehow. I was well acquaint ed with her husband. He was a steady, hard' working man, hut times were poor, and ho thought he could hotter his for tunes by a trip to. the mountains. (50 ho went, leaving his wife and child rather scantily provided for, but it was the beat lie could do. Ho hoped that before their money and provisions would he exhaust ed lie would ho able to send them more. This Dr, Johnson was ids principal ad viser in the step ho took, and promised to see that his family did not come to want. From that day to this, however, no direct communication had ever been received from Joe Morrison. Itis known that he arrived in St. Louis safely, that he there embarked for the mountains, that is all. His wife is a weak, helpless little creature, strong only in devotion to her husband, and would have sunk under tiro blow if it had not- been for Her child.’ The captain stopped as if he hml hu- Jshed hia story, but I turned to liim eagerly, for the conversation of the night before returned to my memory. ‘lsn’t there some rumor about Morri son’s being dead or married again ? And what about this Johnson ? Has he kept the promise he made her husband?’ The captain didn’t seem inclined at first to say anything more, Lm was final ly persuaded to tell the rest of the story, together with his own suspicions as to CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1870. the relations existing between Dr. John son and Mrs. Morrison. t ‘I can’t deny/ ho said,‘that Johnson has befriended her, but ho is a man X wouldn’t trust and I believe has done it for purposes of his own. As to what those purposes are T have ray suspicions. AfterMorrisnp had becu goneovern year Johnson advised her to consult Sarah "White, Ids clairvoyant friend. Lucy, that’s Mrs. Morrison, yielded to the pro-, posul.na a relief from the doubts and fears that almost distracted her. But imagine. her horror when informed by Miss While that her husband was alive and wel! ami married to another woman ! She would not believe it, and refused to have any thing more to do with clairvoyance.— But the communication had its effect, undoubtedly, on her weak and credulous, nature when months passed on and there was btlll no word or tidings she consulted Miss White. Tin's time she received a direct message from her husband him self, who had beetf killed in a melee among gome minora* according to Ids own assertion, and was thus enabled through spiritual raedlutnshlp to console his wife personally. Ho continued the former statement ' f Miss White as to bis having committed bigamy before he died, and expressed a degree of contrition therefor truly edifying. Lucy was overwhelmed with what she. heard, and out of sheer ! desperation resolved logo to St. Louis, and there seek for tracks of her husband; As it happened, Dr. Johnson waa gpin'g- North, and kindly (?) took her under' liis protection. It is my private opinion that lie was in love with her, and has been plotting ail along how to get her into hla power. Whether or not ho has anything to do with Mr. Morrison’s mys terious siltmce is more than f can tell.’ ‘lt’s a strange story,’ X said, musingly, but I am inclined to think youare right in your suspicions; ami in return for the captain's confidence, I related the con versation I had accidentally overheard, ‘Just the plea I thought he would urge-duty, duty, to her child, probably. Iho hypocrite 1 he knows she won’ nnrry him v for any 'other reason ; lu what arc the crowd doing over there?* ami be pointed to the opposite end of the cabin. ‘All I understand. Isn't that Johnson and Miss White? Ho asked my permission tills morning to display her wonderful gift' as a clairvoyant.— Como along I want to see her In a trance.' » I arh not superstitious, but there was something uncanny in the air ‘that morning, and a thrill of actual dread ran over me as we approached the clalrvoy* ant. Her eyes were open, but rolled back in her head, and there was a ghast ly expression on her face I shall never | forget.' She was talking, and gesticulat ing earnestly, aiid -near her stood Dr. Johnson, .whose fixed, .magnetic gaze never left her for a single instant. As soon as I could distinguish what'she said, I discovered that she professed to ho under the control of Joe Morrlnou, and the captain informed mo that she imita ted perfectly his tricks of voice and man ner. What, made'this more remarkable was the fact that she had never seen h-wn. ‘There is no use, Lucy, in crying any more, she said, ‘for I am a miserable scoundrel, and not worth'the tears you shed. You are wrong, too, in neglecting your duty to Willie in the way you do.— He is our child, remember, and . I want you to consider what will be best for his future, instead of mourning for me any longer. You- are altogether too head- strong and suspicious, and won’t even listen to the advice of your frivnd.’ At this point her discourse was inter rupted by a sudden stir in.the crowd.— Mrs. Morrison n«d Atlntud. The captniu and I carried her to a sofa and sprinkled water in her face, hut it was some time before she gained coneiousness, and not until after the. clairvoyant had come out of her trance. The next morning me boat loft St Louis. I put up at the ‘Planters’ as usu al, and so did Dr. Johnson and his lady I had seveiai business com- friem missions to attend toy and did not see anything of them for several days. But one evening ns J was going to my room, little Willie onmo running along the hall (ho had taken a-fancy to mo on the bout,) sobbing as if hi*, heart would break. • ‘Why, what is tho mutter, Willie?’ I said, taking him up in mv arms. ‘All I could make out from Ids broken speech was-thut somebody had ‘h’urted’ his mamma,, and that she was crying dread ITU hard,’ and wouldn’t speak to him. A sudden impulse came over me to of- for my friendship lo Mrs. Morrison, and thwart the plana of Johnson if possible | for I felt convinced that ho had occa sioned her tears. While E was.thinking liQ\v to do this without wounding her looking for. Willie. He ran up to her eagerly, dragging’, mo along, and I was really shocked at the.change in her appearance. Bho was thinner and paler than when I had scon her hist, and there was a look in her kind eyes like that of a haunted 'animal at bay. I can’t tell how it was that I gained I her conlidenco bo readily, but we hadn’t I been talking ten minutes hetoro she he* gan to tell mo of hertrouhles. My white hair and venerable appearance had some thing to do with it probably.(l am not so old as I look, however,) and then too, her need of a friend was urgent ami im perative. Bhe couldn't get the -slightest oluo to her husband, it seemed In St. Jjouis, and was almost ready in her despair to be hove everything the clairvoyant said.— Jhifc the idea of marrying another man was abhorrent to her, and Hr. Johnson was continually urging her to this step mingling threats with persuasion—and alleging the impossibility of his remain ing her friend otherwise. This net had been subtly laid. He had placed her un der pecuniary obligations that galled her womanly spirit and made it the harder to reject his proposal. She didn’t want him to think her ungrateful, nor could she forgot that he hud befriended her In her time of sorest need. True,.he was ungenerous enough to remind her of this fact; hut oven that did not cancel the obligation. Then, too, lie promised to care for and educate Willie; and love for her child pleaded strong in the moth er’s heart Johnson was going to Chicago the next day, and was coming' to her In the morning lor a final decision. If she re fused to accompany him thither as hia wife, then all way at an end between them. Hut* what was she to do In St. Louis, alone and penniless? For sho was a weak, fragile little creature, unlit to battle with the world, as Johnson well knew. Yet I didn't hesitate as lo the advice I should give her, although I felt doubtful whether she would follow it, for, in spite s of her reluctance to marry ohnson, I could see from the way she told heratory Unit ho hud gained an Influence over her truly, wonderful. I promised, however; to do,ail I could for her, if she remained in St. Louis, iud early besought her nut to commit the sin of ma r rylug the man from a mistaken aeli&d of duly. Stranger as she was, I was so much In terested In her fate that X couldn’t sleep for thinking of it, and it was late the following morning when I went lo breakfast. I sat down opposite a'trave ler, sunburnt and coarsely attired, but honest and genial looking. • Wo. entered into conversation, ami there was something iii ids voice ami manner that seemed strangely familiar, although I couldn’t recollect that I had ever seen him before. But it came over mo like a Hash of light when lie spoke of having just returned from the mounta in, Unit this was the man whom tfarah White, the clairvoyant, had per.-'onaled on the steamboat biv.dcu. 1 turned to him, eager ami rxcit d, ‘Pardon »me, air, but isn't your name Joe Morrison, ami didn’t you live in ?’ He started to his feet. .‘For God’s sake, ale, can you tell me anything of my wife ami child ? It Is nearly two years since i heard a word from them. . Joy seldom kills, and I hadn't the heart to prolong his suspense. *Yes, yes, they are alive and well/ I answered and are in this very house : In No. / ‘My God I it Isn't possible, * he cried rushing away from the table like a mat man. I followed him leisurely, aml.fom him with Wijlio in his arms, pressei closely to his breast, laughing and cry ing at the same time, and. frightening the child nearly tp death. Mrs. Morri son wasn’t in the room, she had gone out with Dr. Johnson, ,tho chambermaid said. A thrill of apprehension ran over me. ‘Do you knqsv where they wont? X naked. IJut she couldn’t tell me anything, except that the gentleman hud said something about Squire Jecko’s. That was enough. I, rushed down stairs <ind through the streets, dragging Morrison and Willie with me, and didn’t Mop to sue whether peojVestared or not. Just aa we reached the door of Justice Jecko’s .office, Johnson and. Mrs. Morri son came out, and my heart'sank with* in me. Willie caught aglimpseof them-, and cried out shrilly ‘Mamma! mam ma!’ She started and turned, and Morrison sprang forward with the child in his arms, hut before he could reach her, she had fallen prone upon the pavement.— But alio came to quickly. And the gieeliugs between husband and wife were silent, but affecting.' A little later, she returned to the hotel leaning upon Morrison's arm a proud ami happy wo man. 'My fears were, unfounded; she had refused to marry Dr. Johnson, even after ho had decoyed her to theolilco of Justice Jocko. *; As to the mutual explanations that followed this happy reunion, I* have lit tic to say. Morrison was thunderstruck I)3’ the treachery of Johnson, in whom lie had placed such implicit confidence as to semi him several large sums of money for the use of-Lucy and the child. And ho couldn’t help mistrusting that their correspondence hud been intercepted, for husband or wife had not received a sin* •file one of all the letters they had written to e-ieh other. But he might have been mistaken, for we all know what mail facilities are in. the mountains. The Morrisons went back to and their lives sank into an ordinary and Common place routine. I verily believe they’ve half forgotten by this time the tragic episode of these two years. A Theatrical Incident- • Someyears ago; the manager of a .‘well regulated theatre/ somewhere along the line of the Erie canal, engaged a good looking and brisk young lady as a super mimery. It happened that the young lady in question* had formerly olttcluted in some capacity as a baud’ on board a canal boat,a fact.whiehalie was extreme ly anxious to.conceal. She evinced much anxiety to master the details of her now profession, and soon exhibited a more than ordinary degree of comic talent. She was duly promoted, and in time be came a.general favorite with both the manager and public. One night she was • announced to appear in a favorite part; a couple of boatmen found their waj f into the pit, near the'footlights, particularly anxious to see and hear the now famous comedienne. The house was crowded, and after the subsidence of the general applause which greeted her appearance, one of the boatmen slapped his comrade OJj iji.v t/h«ulitur, ami with un oiiiplinliO expletive, exclaimed, loud enough to be heard over half the bonce: ‘Sam, I know th.itgnl!’ * •Fshaw,’ said Sam, ‘dry up. 1 ‘But I’m d—d if! don’t now, Sam. It’s Sal Flukina, as sure ns you’re born.

Sal Fluklna ! You know a sight if you think that’s ‘her!’ Tom was silenced but not con vinced. He watched the actress m ail her motions with intense Interest, and ere long broke out aim in 1 ‘T toll ye. Sam, that's her! , I know his.

The Now York Sun says : “It -is true that by this marriage the Royal Princess will become the sister-in law of a dork in a merchant's oiTiceof this city, Lord Walter Campbell ; but is it not infinitely more creditable to be connected with a hard working, honora ble commercial man, than with legions of starved-out, good-for-nothing I royal idlers and hangers on to the skirts of rich rela tions? The Duke of Argyleis singularly lucky in exemplifying in his own family that there is nothing in commerce to de grade nobility, and there is nothing iu nobility to degrade loyalty. By a remar kable coincidence, one of his sons strikes down the barrier which prejudice has built up between aristocracy and indus try, while another son removes the boun dary lino that separated the royal from the unroyal blood of the British realm. Our lady readers may have some curi osity to learn the style in which royal marriages are announced. Hero is 1 the mauiierin which that of Queen Victoria's daughter to the Marquis ot Lome is pro mulgated in the Gazette, where every thing isoillciai, from the announcement of the bankruptcy of a tradesman to the installation of a Knight of the Garter : “At the Court of Balmoral, the 24th day of October, 1870, present the Queen's most excellent Majesty In council, her Majesty In council was this day pleased t'» declare her consent to a contract of matrimony between her Royal Highness the .prin cess Louise Caroline Alberta anil John George .Edward Henry Douglas Suther land Campbell (commonly.calledMarquis of Lome), which consent her Majesty has also caused to be signified under the great seal.

My Dkau Riu: I received 3’our kind letter of the 17th instant, ami tlmnk you warmly for the confidence you reposed in m> good opinion that this place could he taken. To the Navy Department alone iH tho country indebted for the capture of Una rebel stronghold; for had it not beep foryour perseverance in keeping the fleet hero, ami the constant propositions you made to the army, nothing would have -been done. As it was, after the propoa lition had been received, ami Gen. Grant promised that troops should bo sent, it was notdone.until Gen. Butler consented o let the matter 'go on, and wnon ho hoped to regp some little credit for the explosion of tlie powder boat. New, the country gives Gen. Grant the credit of inaugurating the expedition, when, on both occasions, lie permitted it to go im properly provided. In the first place it had neither head nor tail as far as the army was concerned. In the second place he (Grant) sent too few men, when lie ought to have calculated that the reb els would have more strongly defended the works, after seeing what a narrow escape they had. Nothing hnt.the most desperate lighting and determination to win on the part of the army gave ns tire victory. The gallant band of sailors who fearlessly went into the. work amidst a shower of canister and bullets, drew the enemy’s attention from the assault on the land side, and enabled'the-troops to' obtain a secure footing. I don’t say this to detract from the gallantry of Urn sol diers, for never did men light harder or more handsomely than did our troops (liat day. Now that the most Important fort on tlie coast lias been gained, as usual yon will hear but little'of what the navy did, and no doubt efforts will be made again to show that tlio work was ‘ not substantially injured as a defensive work.’ To Gen. Grant, who is always willing to take the credit when anything Is done, and equally ready to lay tlie blame of the fail ure on the navy,, wbcii'a failure takes place, X feel under no obligations for re ceiving and allowing a report to lie spread liom bis headquarters that there were three days when tlie navy might have operated and did not. Ho knows as 111 uph about it as ho did when im wrote to me saying “thisonly way in which the, place could be taken was by running the ships past tile- batteries,’’ siiowing evi dently that 'lie had not studied tlie hy drography of Cape Hear Biver,.and did not know the virtue there was in our wooden walls when they' went in for a fair aland lip light. Any’fort in rebellion) can be taken if wo can only get in reach of it. I have served with the Lieutenant General before, where I never worked so hard in my life to make a man succeed ns I did for him. Yon will scarcely notice 111 hisj-eports that the navy did him any . service, when without tlie help it has ‘ given him all the way through, he never' would have been Lieutenant General. Ha wants magnanimity, dike most oliicers of tlie army, and is so avaricious as regards fame, that he will never, if ho can help It, do justice, to our department. When the rebels write tlie history of this wm, tlitrn, ami «mly kUuu, WIU Ino Country bG made to feel what the navy has done". I do not feel at oil kindly towards Gen. Grant for the indifference ho displayed ill this mailer, until lie foin.d lin. own reputation at stake;, then lie was glad to tlnow tlie elephant overboard that had weighed him down So heavily. Ho could not hut help know Hint Gen. Butler was going in command of this expedition. The matter was constantly disciif/sed-with him ; lie know that lie had placed him self and his numerous staff on board the flagship Bon do Ford,, and everybody spoke of him as commander of the troops. In a conversation with Gen. Grant, I expressly told him that I wanted nothing to do with Gen. Butler, and he promised me faithful/)/ (hat he should not have dm/ connection with the expedition'. Two mouths I waited, the tleet ready to sail at an h -ur’s notice, and X acquiesced iu the General's decision that ho could not spare troops for fear of endangering tin* defences in his front. I said, “Then the expedition will never go until Butler hss a linger in the pie and sure enough, when Butler said go,- we went. The fear of weakening the dclences disappeared on Butler’s presenting his plan for blow- Vug the loves down, and an shipped- sir'llnbTlr xifiTprcpTirerilrnrr-thiS transports, that they almost sailed in the middle of a heavy gale. General Grant knew that I did not care a tig for thy powder boat, though I was'very willing to try it as an experiment, but not dis posed to trust it altogether. / thin/: it most unhandsome in him o listen for a moment to the idle talk of Butler’s stair, and his timid, calculating engineer, Com stock, who wanted some excuse for not doing their duty. The Lieutenant Gen eral and I were together eighteen months before Vicksburg—never had to wait for me, nor did any of his generals, (hut I have had to wait for them)umi he should have supposed from the past and my an xiety to go to work, that I had not be come any slower in my movements than I was on the MhM-dppi. His course proves to me that he would sacrifice bis best friend rather than let any odium fall on Lieutenant General Grant. He will lake to himself all thecredlt of this move now that it Is successful, when he de serves nil the blame'for the first failure that took place. All this is now .saddled ou Gen. Biitlor, and history will toll nothing of Gen. Grant’s share of it. I tell it to you for your own personal satisfaction, that you may know and feel that you are entitled to‘ the entire credit for getting this expedition off and for Us success. I am merely the agent and only used to advantage the ample means’plac ed at my disposal, which any one else could have done as well us I. I expect you sometimes think I am a little too Impolitic in what I any, but that is my nature. lam ulwaya ready to light right away, if any one reflects upon tlio navy. I know that no country under the sun ever raised a navy as you have done in the same space of time, and thatno navy over did moie. Could the navy operate in James River, Richmond would uoiy be ours. Vicksburg, a stronger place, fell when the navy was brought to bear on it. Every place has fallen where ijfovur cannon have been brought into play. •x- This la not a pot place with the Lieut. General, and hn loaves it with about se ven thousand men, and I don’t think knows much of tiro situation. An army man thinks if ho has a gunboat at his back ho Is all safe, but -this is one case where at times the gunboats are driven on by bad weather,and those inside can not co-operate effectively.
