'and-docciking up hastily; . sbe saw approach-

lier father soon sent for her, hat.contrary

next. morning, howeVer, slit; was obliged to
make her al..pearatnce., her father rose and
gravely presented her to the -Earl. Stit
drew 'herself up haughtily, merely ttineliing
his extended band with the tips of her dn.:,
gers. A heavy-frown settled on her lather's
'brow, but She' cared' net.for that; she deter
,mined to makea poor, impression on Abe
Earl so that be would have no desire to con
tinue thetengagenient, - or prolong his stay.
She saw but little of theta during the day,
her : father lining engaged showing the
Earl-over- the ,liouse , ..and ground. The
early part of the evening was spent' in the
drawing ro — oin wherl Pauline was obliged,
to'listen co tininberless little nothings front
'the `Earl, which most , women 'like, but
Pauline despised.. Disgusted at last, she
rose, and begging to be excused left the
tipartMeat. 'Gaining her own room she eX
,clained: " ••

Sitting down by the open wirniOw, she
gaiio up into the clear blue slty, , where "the
midnight strirs . wereborning.brightly," and
wondered ifirellthemany distant worlds,
there cold be fottnd a creature as miser

jewels of the costly dresses sparkling in the

Pauline, passed down the limed aisle, and
heard the jo_yful.uotes of, the deep, rich tun
ed organ pealing forth; the wedding march,
she thought-itall-a-fearfal•mockery, and
deathly pallor overspread her countenance,
as she took her place at the altar.

:he"„:was,,ltetulliy ..shamed into apology for
his past rudeness. The mystery Was Soon
' *hen Pauline and Charles
Werd'eltildren,.their ftither'had'made an en

a profound secret.;
When Charles ivns yet a child his father

fortune in the hands of an esteemed friend.
At theage of twenty-one, ,Charles received
his fortune and became his own master.
Becoming in some way possessed of the
facts relative to his marriage, hedotenniued
go to lAM:d Everly, and' lyithont niaklng

him to become Miss Panline'sinstructor in
painting, for in this way he 'could form a
more intimate acquaintance with his future

It is useless, dear reader, to say, that his
plan succeeded well, and I have ouly to

Army Remintaicences.
During the early part of the month of No
.vember, 1863. Gen. Sherman, then in corn
, mend of the 15th Army Corps, was making
a forced march across the country from
Memphis to Chattanooga, Tenn., :o support
General Rosecrans, who had been partially
defeated at Stone River. U 13911. reaching
Elk River the telegraph and cipher opera
tor attached to Gen. Sherman's staff receiv
ed orders to proceed to Decherd, Tenn., the
nearest telegraph office, seventy-five miles
distant, send important military de.spatc hes•
to Gen. Grant at Chattanooga, receive rep
lies, and hasten back to meet the eorp's ad
vance. One hundred of the 3d regular cav
alry were detached as au escort, and on the •
3d of November set forth. As this mission
was important, no, time was lost on the
march, although the roads were in a terri
bly 'muddy state, and great caution had to
be observed against surprise by Confederate •
bushwhackers. Fast riding and muddy
roads do not add much to the outward ap
pearance of man or beast, and by the time
Decherd wasTeached our staff operator pre

could well be imagined. Let us look at

familiar click. There, in a little S by:10 pen,
laboyously at work try ingtotzreaksome ob

oils little sprite, Jimmy Lowe. Jiiiitny is
not in the best of humor at this- particular
time,•and dislikes to be interrupted when
M. for a.jie/A. ,
Thinking he is a student, our friend in
qui‘ries if the operator is in, accompanying
the inquiry' by an awkward movement.
"Yes, I am , the operator. What do you.
want?" _ . ,
Now the chance for a good practical joke
could not be resisted by our horseman),
therefore he quickly decides to inivo adit Ile.
fun at Jimmy's expense.
What sort of a darned clicking, thing is
that 'or?" pill-fling to the' register, with its,
'ponderous weight and papertape.
"This 'is the telegraph," says Jimmy,
"curd I am the operator. Do you want, to
sand a message? If not, don'iZbother
but go and get.'s.ime"of that Lund off' front
you." Jimmy turns away with a look of
disgust,rand proceeds to renew his battle
over, the wire. It will hero be proper to
state that Jimmy kept a. suttees stand on a
• small 'Scale in one corner of the office,
and, us ho afterwards: acknowledged, was
_suspicious-that our friend :had au eye on a
quantity of, a, plug tobacco behind the
