Columbia, Pa, COLUMBIA, Pdk “How did you come to mair,- Mr. Marshall, Aunt Nannie ?” Mrs. Nannie Marshall wasn't my aunt, but I had called her so for many years, for she was the kindest and truest friend I ever had. She sat silent, knitting bus ily and smiling a little before she answer ed me. "It came of shaking a table cloth,' said aunt Nannie. "What ! d'A you tip him up in its folds, and bring him down on his knees to you ?" "No ; I'll tell you. When I was four years old my mother died. I don't know whether children of that tender age gener ally remember their mothers as I remem ber mine or not ; but when I was so little nat. I sat in a high chair at the table, I would watch the chairs fi!l;ng up a"•ound it with thepersistent hope that mymother would come and sit by me ; and. I did not relinquish this hone a ['ter I was old enough to comprehend death, but clung to it, praying Christ to work a miracle, as in the ojd. Dihie•times, and let my,dear moth gr aPpear to*y longing sight. "Never was thee a more affective and iiraginative child, and my youth was a dreary time. My grandmother, who had charge of me meant to do her duty by me, and in the usual acceptance of the term she did. I was fed and clothed, and she to aght me as Well as her limited means would ellow. But she never manifested any affection for me. She was one of those kind of people who think kisses and caresses foolishness, and though I can look back now and remember proo2 of a secret tenderness, she never kissed or caressed me when I was a child. "I grew up starved for love. After I was fourteen years old I grew to look for it, from a lover.

At any rate, as soon as I came the single servant was dismissed. "The family lived elegant, um I soon found that it was done by the strictest economy. My aunt worked hard and managed well, and no one outside the house dreamed that their income was as painfully small as it was. "Julia, had a lover. Mr. Marshall was very handsome and mighty fine, and I do not wonder that he appeared very much like a god to me then. He was but recent ly acquainted with 'Julia when I went there but he appeared very much in love with her. I used to help her dress upon the evening on which lie came, and after she had gone down looking like an angel, I used to shed a few tears of sorrow and loneliness, as I stood and listened to their happy chat and gay laughter ringingfrom the room below. And I was very sure that I never could be pretty, and I thought that nobody-would ever love me. "One day Mr. Marshall came to dine.— Extra attention teas given to the house and dinner. My aunt had been very weal thy for a short time when first married, and from her husband's failure she had saved a few things which gave the house an air of means and style—some articles of fine table silver and some handsome oil paintings, I remember. "With my assistance she se:ved the dinner herself, and managed so as to be richly dressed to appear at the table.— She was cool and stately ; but I, who bad lingered until the last moment in the kitchen, making gravies and serving up vegetables, was so tired that I could hardly speak. I never did talk much, though, so it was not noticed, appareatly. Mr. Marshall conversed of books, pic tures and music, all of which .Julia was acquainted with, and it was agreeable to listen to them. I was sorry when the meal was finished. "Mr. M. turned to look at the piettlic on thewall, when he arose, and after a few moments my aunt comenced clear ing the table. The dishes were put through a slide in the cupboard in the kitchen. I helped her do this. Julia stood looking out the window. "When the table was cleared of the dishes, my aunt went out. I sat down and took my sewing, thinking that my aunt would be back in a moment to finish clearing the table, and that I should be allowed, during the afternoon, the place of a guest. Mr. Marshall spoke to me and asked me to play backgamon. It was the only game of pleasure that I knew, and I was delighted at the thought. I put down my sewing, and he brought the hoard and arranged the game. Julia sat in a corner of the sofa with some em broidery. Just as we were ready to play, I looked I.lp and saw the table still stood spread with its linen cloth,and the crumb cloth had not been taken up.

"I took off the cover and carried it into the kitchen, and then came back, pulled down the leaves of the old-fashioned ta ble, and was going to put it up at the end of the room alone, when Mr. Marshall arose and did it for me. "Then I took up the crumb-cloth, car oled it out and shook ii, and put it in its place in the hall closet, and all the time he stood and watched as if in stnpri3e.— When I was ready to sit down again he played very badly. He seemed to be ab sent-minded. "lie came to the house two or three times after that,but not to spend an even ing alone with Julia. Pretty - soon he did not come at all, and Julia used to cry out and be so cross that she made the whole family uncomfortable. "One day he drove up to the door in a splendid sleigh, for it was winter time, and the sleighing was very good. Julia was sitting at the dining-room fire. "There," she said, jumping up, "he's come to take me to drive. Now I won't go a step unless he asks my pardon for staying, away so long." "Her mother showed him into the par lor, and he asked for me.

Each mail brings additional details of the disastrous floods in the valley of the James river, and peculiarly between Lynchburg and Richmond. Richmond has suffered even more grievously. War and fire, and the recent shocking fall of its Capitol had made beautiful Richmond seem to be a doomed city ; and now the James suddenly rising twenty-six feet above the level of that river, has inunda ted a large part of the town, submerging warehouses, stores, dwellings and the gas works, destroying more than four mil lion dollars worth of property, stopping operations in all the large cotton, corn and dour mills, and occasioning the most heart-rending scenes. Saturday night must, indeed, have been a night of hor rors at Richmond. The little town of Columbia, Fluvanna co., was completely inundated by the same freshet, and many of its five hundred inhabitants, strug gling in the waters, were swept off and drowned. The flood in the Shennandoah submerged Harper's Ferry and caused the loss of fifty lives. The floods in the Potomac has wrought incalculable dam age in Georgetown and in Washington, suspending business in the former city and putting a stop to Southern railroad travel.

EA Link's First itttempt in the Art Line--oEcia] The Buffalo ExpreB6. of Saturday has a wonderful war map, drawn and engraved by Mark Twain, - with explanations by the artist. Appended are some recom mendations which the work has received. The idea of this map is not origina with me, but isborrowed from the Tri Lune and other great metropolitan jour nals. I claim uo other merit for this produc tion (if I may so call it) than that it is ac curate. The main blemish of the city paper maps, of \Mich it is an imitation, is that in them moreattention seems paid to artistic pictmesqueness than geograph ical reliability. Inasmuch as this is the first time I ever ti led to draft and engrave a map, or at tempt anything in the line of art at all, the commendations the work has receiv ed the admiration it has excited among the people, have been very grateful to my feeling. And it is touching to reflect that by far the most enthusiastic of these praises have come from people who know nothing at all about art. By an unimportant oversight I have engraved the map so that it reads wrong end first, except to left-hand people. I forgot that in order to make it right in print it should he drawn and engraved upside down. However, let the student who desires to contemplate the map, stand on his head or hold it before her looking glass. That will bring it right.. The reader will comprehend at a glance that piece of river with the 'High Bridge' over it got left out to one side by reason of a slip of the graving tool which ren dered. it necessary to change the entire course of the river Rhine or else spoil the map. I would have changed the course of the Atlantic Ocean before I would have lost so much work. I never had so much trouble with any- thing in my life as I did with this map.— I had heaps of little fortifications scat tered all around Paris, at first, but every now and then my instruments would slip and fetch away whole miles of batteries and leave the vicinity as clean as if the Prussians had been there. The reader will find it well to frame this map for future reference, so that it may aid in extending popular intelligence and dispelling the wide-spread ignorance of the day. 211.tuKE T wxrx.

The land-lady of an inn near Metz says a correspondent of the New York Post, pretends to recognize in Prince Frederick Charles a tourist who, a few years ago, made a pedestrian excursion through the Vosges and along the Moselle. She then took him for a medical man, as lie pre tended to be a lover of botany, who with an old gentleman extremely like the por traits of General Moltke, explored in search of fine specimens of Alsacian flora, every pass and forest in the department. They looked like military men; indeed she thought so at the time, but this did not seem incompatible with their alleged pro fession, for every Prussian sloe knew was a soldier. The young gentleman innocently pick ed flowers. and the old one bad a passion for geology, and increased his knowledge of the science by scanning every wall and cutting, the nephew most conscientiou ly walked through the passes and over the hills, and the uncle took drives in va rious directions. They were in the neigh borhood more than a month, says this worthy woman, and then paid their bill and went away quietly, but she swears that she recognized the Prince when he came up with his army to fight Bazaine Whether this story is only ben trovato and not vero, it is positive that Freder ick Charles does know every foot of the ground on this side of the Rhine. He was at Stolzenfels, above Coblsntz, in his boyhood, and was in the habit of making tours,wben an under-graduate, of the composition of every corps of the ene my which he has enconnteved—a species of intelligeneeinvaluable to an ableg,enral.

One of the most lamentable results of the siege of Strasburg, leaving out of view the loss of human life, is the injury which the bombardment has inflicted upon the noble cathedral and its wonderful astronomical clock. The vast cathedral, which; perhaps more than any other one thing, has made the name of Strasburg celebrated is one of the finest Gothic buildings in Europe. It was founded A. I)., 504, The choir was built by Charlemagne; probably about A. D., 800, though it was not completed until 1439. The material of which the cathedral is built of brown stone, very much resem bling our Connecticut Portland freestone so extensively used in Fifth avenue. It was obtained from a quarry at Wassebonne. in the valley of Couronne, a few miles from Strasburg. The architect of the existing edifice was Erwin von Steinbach, of Baden One John fluells, of Cologne, was the arch itect of the peerless tower. Its spire is the loftiest in the world. Its height, 406 feet, surpasses St. Peter's and is tibout equal to that of the great Pyramid. The greater part of the entire structure was destroyed by lightning in 1007, and the restored edifice was begun in 1015 and completed in 1.130 The cathedral is in every part richly deco• rated with sculptures; and the western front rising to a height of 230 feet. is, or was particularly fine with its wealth of statues, ornamental carvings, and bas-reliefs. It has afcircular window 43 feet in diameter. The Prussian heavy artillery hai made, it is said, a rain of part of the vast building. The astronomical clock, the product of a German elockmaker,in about the year 1550, is a marvel of ingenuity and mechanical skill, and has no counterpart. It performs not only the ordinary service of a clock, bu t exhibits the days, and the months, and tile years; the process of the seasons; the signs of the zodiac,and the names and movements of Was heavenly bodies. At each quarter hour an angel comes out and strikes ono stroke on a bell ; at every hour another angel comes out and strikes twice; and at 12, meridian, a figure of Christ appears, ac companied by the twelve apostles, all of whom move around a central point and pass in, out of sight, by another door, the stroke of twelve being given, and a cock flaps his wings and crows. The clock is enormous in size, like everything else Con nected with the vast cathedral, and is invis ible from the outside street—the spectator passing through the nave of the cathedral to see it. It has suffered front fire and vio lence before the present year, having been our of repair and motionless since the revo lutionary of 1703 . , until the year, 1842, when it was repaired by a watchmaker of Bas- Rhin, and has been in operation since, It is to be hoped that this ingenious piece of mechanism has not been irreparably injur by the present bombardment. The loss of the Strasbourg library—a vast collection of 300,000 volumes,, including many collections of rare and curious and monkish parchments—is total and irrepar able. It can never be replaced by any col lection hereafter made. It was the slow result of a thousand. years ; and its destruc tion by fire, caused by the Prussian hot - shot, is like the burning pf the Alexandria . library in this that of a great number of the works destroyed no duplicates can ever be obtained.—From the Hartford Timex. VON MOLT - L - 4 PLAITS The Pzussiaa Szcsezzes Less T]:= He Plszned— Why Voa Ste!nmetz Wzs Bemored From His Command The Army and _ferny Journal argues, with a good deal of plausibility that, astonishing as the German successes have been, they are not near as extraordinary as those the great military strategist, Von Motike, orig inally planned and intended. This argu ment is based upon a few lads and state ments, which,, however, are very signifi cant ones. The most striking fact is the re moval from command of the great Prussian General Von Steinmetz. Von Steinmetz is a leader who would be distinguished in any service. For desperate work, he is the best general in Germany, if not in Europe. Like General Sheridan, be is not only quick and brilliant in battle, but ho can and does get more fighting and more marching out of a given number of men than any of his compeers ; and he has never been defeated. Once engaged in battle, he is bound to win, no matter what are the conditions, If it uses up his last man ; and he always has. won. Beside, he is a great favorite with the sol diers. Such a general would not be dis missed without grave reason. Tho reason assigned is ;hat, at the battle ofForbach, in the ve;youisetof the campaign, he attacked furiously and utterly routed the French army of the centre, whereas his orders from Von Moltke wore to engage and detain the French. At Forbach, the French were in an extrao•dionrily strong position, ap proached from the front, yet Von Steinmetz carried it by assault, though at a fearful cost. At Gravelotte, also, his troops did the most desperate fightingf and lost most heavily. Von Molike's orders at Forbach, the Army and Navy Journal argues, and Von Steiumetes removal for not literally obey ing them, show to military critics what his intentions were. The great military genius and strategist, before he moved a single regiment into France knew exactly his own strength and the French weakness. He knew the topograthv of the country like that of his own garden. Ile had also stud ied the menial peculiarities of the French Ma, shals. so that he know what each oneof them would be likely to do in any given emergency. He Is reticent of his plans. He gave to each German leader exact or ders for his particular part of the perform ance, and nothing more. The Crown Prince was to rush upon,envelop and crush the French right under MacMalmn, and push forward desperately toward Metz. Von Stein tnerz was to engage and detain the French centre at Forbach. The German right was to smash and turn the nor thern wing of the French, and also push forward toward metz. Now if Von Steinmetz bad literally obeyed his orders, and if he had really detained Bazaine at Forbach only ten hours longer, the Crown Prince would have got into t he French rear, between the main French army and Me.z on the south, and the German right would then have swung around the French lett on the north, and also got into the rear of the main French army, between it and 'Metz ; and tue entire French army, with Napoleon, would have been captured in the open field, within the first ten days of the t atnpaign. This would have been followed by tne almost immedi ate fall of Metz itself, with all its stores. AT NIGHT Here is one of Thackeray's pleasant touches : It is night now ; and hero is home. Gathered under the quiet roof, elders and children lie alike at rest. In the midst of a great peace and calm, the stars look on from the heavens. The scene is peopled with the past: sorrowful remorses for sins and short-comings, memories of passionate joys and griefs raise out of their graves, but now alike and calm. Eyes, as I shut mine, look at me that have long ceased to shine. The town and fair landscape sleep under the starlight wreathed in the autumn 'mists. Twinkling among the houses, a light keeps watch, hero and there, in what may be a sick chamber or two. The clock tolls sweetly in the silent air. liere is night and rest. An awful sense of thanks tnakos the heart swell, and the head bow, as I pass to my room through the sleeping house, and feel as though a hushed blessing was upon it.
