Are people to blame mo for what is . unavoidable ? That is a question I should be remarkably happy to have solved to my own satisfaction and the satisfaction of others. Once I had.no : doubt on the subject ; but now, judging from what has happen ed" tor• int in' the past few days, I must confess my opinion is somewhat Shak en. It was entirely foreign from my • tip t ion o. create:a Otisation, or en- act a deception, when .1 packed my carget'baktastweek, and 'donned my best suit 'p'repar'atory to setting forth on, wait, to_my t i NabbY:-.78.1q(34- Aul4,Nabby :resides in the 'north-, eastcoyner pf - Maiiii; in, a town Whleb: I Nilkden„omintiteTineville.

I have been strongly advised to en list, 'but Lam totally unfit for the ser vice. -The smell of gunpowder makes me faint, and I never fired a,-gun but oncein my life, and I was confined. to my bed for a fortnight afterward. Not exactly from fhe effects of the fright, but because the confounded fire arm resented my awkward hand ling, and kicked me so severely that my, right eye was in mourning for months, and my nose was knocked out of the perpendicular into the slantindicular. I arrived in Pineville rather late one Friday night, and as it was ton miles further on to my Arnt Nabby's rustic cottage—towns have some.ex tent of territory in Maine—l put up at the Washington house—a one horse affair in the straggling village of Pineville. 1 registered, my name—P.

My chris• tian name is .Philornetheus, but ow ing to the - oddity of the title, and the ominous length, I rarely write it in I got some supper, and retired ha mediately to my room. I had just fallen asleep, and was dreaming se renely of .kissing Natty Baker, my sweetheart for the time, when I was aroused by a great .commotion under my window.

Just as 1 had got my eyes fixed on the swaying crowd below, there was a rap at my door.- "Come in !" cried I fearing to an• sorer personally to the summons lest 1. should miss my chance of seeing the celebrity. The landlerd and landlady came in but the lady retreated instantly, and remained :giggling outside the door. "Dear sir," said the landlord, "you must go. down. They won't go.off till they see ye." “They? who are they ?" asked I. "The peOPle around - here;"•said he.

To those who read this story, I would say; that. however badly told it may be, it is the truth ; a simple statement of facts, unaided by fancy or - imaginatlen. I was never calmer; More collected', or wider awake,in my life than when the occurrence lam about to relate took place; and al though it terrifiectand appalled me, I 1 - A13,65 - that it 'wouldhave produced that effect upon persons •wi_th strong. et nerves than mine. A few words by way of explanation will be neces sary. • Previous -to my marriage, which took place nearly three years ago, I Was much annoyed by the persistent • attentions of Robert Lisle. He was aviolent, self-willed, headstrong boy, whose many good and generous qual ities were obscured by ungovernable passions. The only child of a rich widower, he had been indulged until any opposition to his wishes made , him perfectly furious. Had', accept ed hiS suite, he would most probably have tired of me; but my rejection and the knowledge that I was be trothed to another, enraged him, and made him More determined in bis purpose. I was poor, and therefore his father had not approved of the match, although he would'have con sented to it, to please his son ; but al though mortified, he was scarcely re joiced at .my refusal, and, exerting his authority for once, finally suc ceeded in sending Robert away, greatly to My relief Not long afterward I was married and, with my husband, went on a visit to hiS relatives, who resided at Some distance. We were gone three months. On my return, one of the first per sons whom I recognized was Robert Lisle. He was reeling down the street, intoxicated and half senseless, in the uniform of a private soldier.— Ile had returned home a few days previous to my return, and, hearing of my marriage, in a fit of rage and intoxication he had enlisted. He had benn.intoxicate.d CAVAP airiPP him to reason. With characteristic obstinacy, he persisted the more strongly in his_purpose the more he Was-opposed to it, and the utmost his father could do, was to obtain a lieutenancy for• him and let him go to war. He went, leaving the poor old man nearly broken hearted. For myself, I was both glad and grieved at his departure ; glad to be relieved from his presence, for I dreaded him, and grieved to have been the cause of so much trouble. A year passed away ; a year ,of quiet, uneventful happiness to me ; of what terrible suspense, agony and dispair to thousands of others, let those tell whose homes and hearts have been left desolate by this horri. ble war. At the end of the year a change came, a great joy and a great sorrow. My baby, my precious little comforter, was born ; and a few weeks afterwards my husband, a young surgeon struggling upwards in his profession, received a highly advantageous offer from the military authorities, which he felt that be had no right to decline, although it in, volved our separation for a. time, as he could not take me with him. So that when 1 had entirely recovered my strength, he went away, and I was left alone with my baby and my sorrow. It is true he was in no ac tual danger, but it was our first sepa ration, and it was hard to bear. I did not go home, although he propos ed jt, thinking I should feel less lone ly. I preferred to remain in the lit tle cottage on the outskirts of the town, which .we had occupied since our marriage. Some time after my husband's de- 1 1 parture, Robert Lisle came home on a furlough, his first visit home since his enlistment. He was much chang ed. The stern' discipline of a sol dier's life seemed to have tamed even hiS wild spirit. He was quiet in man ner, never drank, and indeed, seemed so steady in every respect, that his father's delight was equalled by his sorrow at losing him again so soon.— He made no attempt to renew his ac quaintance with me, further than by a quiet bow when we met, as we did, once or twice, in the street. He was a captain, having been promoted, it is but just to say, for his gallant con duct in some engagement, and not from any influence of his friends.— He remained at home but a few weeks, and then rejoined his regiment, somewhere in Virginia. And now comes a part of my story which, were it not broad noonday, and people passing my window, 1 fear I should not have nerve enough to write for the recollection of it sickens me with terror. it was the night of the ninth of August. Robert Lisle had been gone some weeks, and I had entirely for gotten him ; at least the thought of him never once crossed my mind on that evening. I had put my baby to sleep, and laid her on the bed; I and then, not being sleepy myself, went back into the sitting-room, and sat down in the moonlight by tbo WHOLE NO. 886 open window. I sat there until I was startled from my reverie by hearing the town clock strike ten. I arose, lowered and fastened the win dow, and taking a lamp went through the house to see if all the doors and windows wore properly fastened, as had been my habit ever since my husband's departure. There was no danger, I suppose, but as there was only myself and a servant girl in the house, it was more satisfactory to know that_ everything is secure.— Having completed my survey, I re turned to the sitting room and fas tened the door of that, which led into the hall; then I went into the bed room and placed the lamp on a small table by the, bed. I had commenced to undress, by loosening and combing out my hair, when the thoughtstruck me that I bad not wound up a clock which stood on the mantel in , the sitting-room, and I returned for the purpose of doing so. As 1 passed through the-door a cold shudder ran over me, and I was seized with vague terror, which 1, was angry with my self for feeling, I went to the man tel and began to wind up the clock, when the cold shudder shook me again so strongly that the key of the clock dropped from my hand. In voluntarily I laoked backward, over roy shoulder, and there, great God ! between -me and the open door, the light of the lamp streaming full upon me, stood Robert Lisle ! Even in the moment of wild terror my mind seemed to grasp, how, I know not, every detail Of his appearance. He wore a dark blue uniform coat, much soiled and disordered. His head was bare his hair looked.as if blown back by the wind. His face was ghastly pale, and seemed to wear a look of mingled rage and defiance. He did not move, and, for an instant, Idid not stir from my place; I stood perfectly 1 paralized. Then, shrieking, wildly for help, I sprang to the door, which I sought with frantic haste to unfas ten. Doing this, I cast a terrified glance backwards, and, to my utter astonishment, perceived that be was gone.. I thought of my child, and, seized with a new fear, rushed wildly into the bedroom. Lisle was not there; nothing was disturbed. 3ly baby was awake, however, awakened by my screams, probably. The sight of her innocent face seemed - to give me courage. Catching her up, and hastily wrapping her in a shawl, I fled from the house as fast as my trembling limbs eould carry me. My mother lived not far away, and for tunately I reached her house without meeting any one. My knocks soon brace; / ilia e w r ii t e n n I l to A in d ihristtfrP kit ' laughed at me, and declared that I, had been dreaming; a theory in : which she persisted , :, in spite of all that I could say to the contrary. i Now, although I knew I MICL nut dreamed it, I never doubted but that it was the living Robert Lisle that I had seen, until, about ten days later, a letter from my husband filled me with a new horror, and my mother with dismay. I give the part relat ing to my story in his own words.— "I'am sorry to say that Robert Lisle is killed. Re was not killed in ac tion, but after the battle, through his own_recklessness and want of self-control. You have probably read in the paporshow dreadfully our men, especially Crawford's Brigade to which he belonged, were cut up and scattered. After the last charge of that gallant and ill-fated brigade, perceiving that the rout was hope less, Lisle and about 15 of his COM , pally, who were all that remained to gether, took refuge in a a patch of wood, intending to wait a favorable moment to-join Pope's division, which was momentarily expected on the field. This they found it impossible to do, and but that the night had closed in, would inevitably have been taken prisoners. As it was, they kept bidded in the woods, listening to the gradually increasing sounds of the battle, which ceased at last, but, left them no better chance of escape for numerous parties. of the enemy were moving about the field between them and our lines. At length, about ten o'clock,Robert's impatience could no longer be restrained, and calling to his men to follow him he made a dash across the open space towards our lines, the camp fires of which they could see in the distance.— There 'was a clear brilliant moonlight and they had not gone far when they Were seen by a mounted, .party of rebels, who dashed after them, call ing upon them to surrender. The rest would have done, so, for it was folly to resist, but Robert's blood was up, and for reply, he turned and dis charged his pistol at the leader. The next moment he fell, shot dead. The rest of the men were taken prisoners excepting two, who contrived to make their escape in the confusion. I I have these particulars from them." This battle was fought on the 9th of August, shortly after ten o'clock Robert was killed. I leave the read er to make such explanation as he or she pleases. For myself, if I did not know that it was no dream, I would most gladly persuade myself that it was one. A class was reciting a lesson on metaphysics—the chapter on motives operating on the humane will—when a mackeral vender went by shunting, "Alackrel, fine fresh mackrel !" Sud denly, disturbed by the noise, the master inquired of the class what motives the man had for making such a noise. No answer being made, he said - they must be deaf as had docks and flat as flounders, not to perceive that it was a sell fish motive. --- , 1 lif aft fintfifo.

By the time be ended, the devotional frames of the company were as cold as the dishes on the table. But their sufferings wore light, compared with those of a circle of Scotch ministers, from the Synod of Cleishmaclaver, on their way to the General Assembly of the Scotch Kirk. They wore well punished for their forgetfulness. A humorous contributor to Frazer's Magazine, tells the story in a recent number. The brethren had started by coach at an early hour, and had traveled some twenty miles before they reach. ed the inn where breakfast was pre pared, for them. The keen air of our northern hills sharpens the appetite ; and" When the brethren drove up to the inn:they were almost famished with hunger. "Now, gentlemen,just ten minutes for breakfast," says the coachman, as ho entered the landla dy's snug little parlor, to have his own. Ten minutes. The time was short, so they must make the most of it. They rushed into the room where the breakfast was spread, and there, basking his ample person be fore the fire stood a portly dressed gentleman, dressed somewhat like a dignitary of the Church of England. Their appetite was keener than their curiosity, so they scarcely looked at the stranger, but concentrated all their attention on the viands. Half way in the air, before the mor sel had reached theirlips, theirhands were arrested by a sudden cry of "stop 1" It was the supposed dean or bishop. "Good heavens, gentle men," he exclaimed, "have you so far forgotten your sacred profession, as to partake of food without invoking a blessing ?" The brethren looked like school-boys detected in some fla grant fault ; but before they had time to remonstrate or explain, the same voice exclaimed, in a tone which en forced obedience, "let us pray."— They instinctively sprang to their feet, and assumed the attitude of de corous devotion while the stranger offered up a prayer which they them selves admitted was superior in ac tion and expression, to those of Dr. Drawitout himself. He had only one fault ; he did not knoW when to stop. The minutes rolled rapidly away, but the stream of fervent supplication flowed on without a break. They ,aatßlx bbet4r l 2,lll` lo .4)-V..-ybr-41:itex1- with the 'other ; but when a hand ap proached it drew back before the stern glance of the stranger, which seeerned to comprehend them all. Th e anffeinffEl of Tantalus wore nothing to the sunerie 6 . putation„ from the Synod of Cleish maclaver ; but all things mnstsome to an end. "Time is up, gentlemen," said the coachman, opening the door, and wiping his mouth with the air of one who had enjoyed his breakfast.— The appearance of the coachman, and the sound of his familiar voice, broke the spell , _• but there was no time to be lost. The horses were shaking their heads and pawing the ground, in their impatience to start; so they had to take their seats, and turn breakfast and dinner into one.— "Was that the Bishop of D said one of the famished brethren.— "That the Bishop of D ?" said the coachman, contemptuously; "why that was Lord P., the maddest wag in the kingdom." The brethren said nothing, but "chewed the cud of sweet and bitter fancy," until they reached the next halting-place, where they got somothing more substantial to chew. Somehow the story oozed out and . the trick played on the members of Cleishmaclaver called forth many a hearty laugh at the _Lord High Commissioner's levees, and seriously affected the gravity of the Moderator himself. DRESSING UP J. DAVIS. Never was mortal so dressed up as Jefferson Davis has been by the de spatches and letters announeinc , his capture. The accounts vary materi ally. But never mind. .Here they are, in brief. 1. Davis was captured while run ning towards the woods dressed in his wife's gown and petticoats, and calf-skin boots—a revolver in one hand and a bowie knife in the other. His wife being a little woman, and Jeff. being rather tall, her dress would not have fitted him well. But no matter ; the story is jitet as good.) 2. e was caught with his fami ly in a tent, asleep. 3. His tent was surrounded, when his wife asked for protection till she could dress. This was granted. She then came out with Jeff. dressed in petticoats and wrapper or lady's frock, with a hood upon his head and a pail upon his arm—his wife saying, "please, gentlemen, let my old grand mother pass—she wants to go to the spring for some water." A soldier, lifting the hood and. catching hold of Davis's whiskers, said "how are you, grandma ?" and added, "this is Jeff. Davis." As you pay your money you take your choiCe.—Hartford Times. see- Presentations are getting com mon.
