‘JUST AS IF NO CHRIST HAD DIED!’
Br ELIZA H. .BARKER,
On a wide and scorched Savannah, through a burn
ing summer day,
Thousands of our bleeding soldiers, from the battle’s
conflict lay.
Brave young hearts had ceased their beating, brows
in manhood’s prime were low;
Palid faces drawn in anguish, strong hands severed
by the foe, •
All in silent horror resting —victor, vanquished,
side by side';
With no holy rites of burial—just as if no Christ
had died!
When the fall moon rose in splendor, on that field
of ghastly dead,
On a little mound reclining, lay a young and gentle
head;
Twenty summers had not stolen from his cheek the
boyish bloom,
And the spring-time of his manhood had not shed
its fresh perfume;
Now he lay a mangled martyr, with no comrade at
his side,
With no friend in earth or heaven—just as if no
Christ had died!
6oft!y with its gentle kisses, came the night wind
on his hair,
Lifting up its gory masses, laying the white fore
head bare.
’Twas a mother’s soul that sent it, for in midnight
watches came
To her weeping eyes the vision of a battle field of
flame;
And her boy lay pale and bleodiog, with nocomrade
by his side—
Vain had been her prayers and weeping—Just as if
no Christ baa died !
Through the torrid days the wounded, mMmed and
mutilated lie, w
(Corses piled above, around them,) sick and lone un
heeded die; '
Not a drop of grateful water to the parchiDg lips
may come,
Nought is heard afar in distance but the slow re
treating drum,
And the trains of ambulances, slowly moving, side
by side,
Laden all with human anguish—just as if no Christ
had died I
Now another day has risen, still the maimed are
helpless there,
And the lcctid dead are sending poisoned vapors
through the air;
And the sick and limbless soldiers shout in agony
in vain!
Men who left your wives and mothers, ye will never
meet again!
And the son goes down in glory on tho dying, side
by side—
Forsaken both by earth and heaven—just as if no
Christ had died!
O’er the land, in every hamlet, wails aro on the
moaning air,
"Every hearth has lost a loved one—who will fill the
empty chair ?
And the Fiend of War. is rushing, on his wild steed,
fierce and fast,
And his trumpet’s shrieking clamor echoes on the
midnight blast.
And the angels all have left us—to our sin, and to
our pride—
And the heavens are closed upon us—just as if no
Christ had died !
Woman! thou art nearer Heaven—rear our house*
hold altars now,
Pile on them the nation’s sorrow, be the weeping
priestess tbon!
Gather in the broken-hearted—hoary men, too
proud to wail;
Mothers, daughters, palid statues, orphan children
thin and pale ;
Widows, desolate and pining—none to sucoor, none
to guide—
With no triend in earth or heaven—just as if no
Christ had died !
Dreary homes, whioh love had lighted, gone is all
your sunshine now,
What to you the victor’s triumph V—what the wreath
that binds the brow ?
Blighted hearts, whose desolation none can ever sooth
- or sh&re,
Earth’s to you a darkened horror—let your agony
be prayer—
Let the sacrifice of sorrow ope the gates of mercy
wide;
Give ua peace, 0 Lord of Nations, let not Christ in
vain have died!
Beaver, Pa.
MARRIED BY COMMAND.
Once upon a time there lived Dear the
fort of Marienbnrg, in Prussia, a farmer
of the name of Reiwal. Re had two
daughters—charming girls. These two
daughters were in love, and engaged to be
married to two soldiers—ono each, of
conrse. Brothers they were, and as strap
ping fellows as ever Great Frederick could
wish to see. It was expected that the
regiment in whioh the brothers served
would soon be at the neighboring fortress ;
and then the marriages would take plaoe.
Charlotte,the younger sister,
on the day in question, busily employed in
knitting, while watching her father’s goats,
when an old gentleman, of noble and
majestic carriage, stopped before her. He
held a cane in his hand, and wore a mili
tary hat and boots, and a great coat with
a large cape.
, The young., shepherdess had never seen
this gentleman before, and his presenoe—
she knew not why—inspired her with a
feeling of awe. After regarding her for
some minutes with an arch smile, he thus
addressed her:
‘ What is your name my pretty girl V
Charlotte Keiwel, at your service V
answered she.
‘At my service! Well, I may, perhaps,
require you. How old are you’’
‘ Eighteen, at Candlemas.’
‘ What is your occupation ’’
‘ I am shepherdess to my parents, who
are farmers in tho valley.’
. ‘ Ton are not married ’’
‘ Not yet, your lordship.’
‘ Have you a dowry V
‘I do not know.’
‘ Well, here is something towards one,
if you will serve me, as you promised to
do just now,’ said he, plaoing in her hand
a purse containing two hundred gold
florins.
So strange did this proceeding appear
to the simple and timid shepherdess, that
she was quite alarmed ; and, believing the
fine gentleman to be a sorcerer, his gold
seemed to burn her fingers. In the mean
time, the stranger, taking a note-book from
his pooket, wrote a few words upon a sheet
of paper, which he oarefully sealed. Then
he continued:
‘ To gain two hundred florins, you have
only to carry this to the fort of Marien
burg. If you show this seal, all the
guards will let you pass, r You must ask
for Major Keller, the commander, and give
the letter into his hands. Do you under*
.stand, and promise to do' what I have told
yon V
Charlotte wished.to reply in the negative,
but to refuse seemed to her even more
difficult than to aooept; so that, not Blow
ing what'to say, she was silent, and the
stranger, oonoluding that her silenoe gave
assent, left her the letter and the purse.
When he was out of sight, the terror
stricken girl ran to her sister, and related
her adventure.
■ _ Catharine was the very reverse of'her
. timid, gentle sister* She was a fine, inde
pendent, spirited girl, who would go
through anything to gain her end; she
! liked nothing better than a mystery, and
danger even had a charm for her.
* A commission for Marienburg 9 ex-1
claimed she; ‘itis a God-send. Call bim
a good angel, rather than ■ a demon, who"
brought it. Oar betrothed, the sergeants
Albert and Ludwig Hosten, have been on
the march for the fortress the last three
days. JJy these means we may obtain news
of them, and perhaps even see them to-day.
What a surprise for them, and what joy for
ns ! to say nothing abont the two' hundred
gold florins, which are not to be picked np
every day.’
Saying these words, she took the parse,
and turning the precious letter first on one
side and then on the other, she called upon
Charlotte, in the name of their betrothed,
to go immediately to the fort, while she
took care of the goats.
‘Never!’ replied Charlotte; I aha 1
never have courage. If you like to go in
my stead,’ added she, ‘ I will make over
the two hundred florins to you.’
‘ I will aooept half,’ replied Catharine,
quickly; ‘we shall thus both have a dowry,
and—who knows ?—perhaps be married
to-morrow.’
Letter in hand, Catharine soon reached
the fortress, the gates of which were
opened to her at the sight of the mysteri
ous seal. She was much pleased with the
deference which was paid her, and made
up her mind that the stranger must have
been some great personage, and that the
letter contained something important. She
examined it over and over again, burning
with curiosity to know the oontents. She
endeavored to peep into the envelope, but
in vain. *lf I should, without knowing it,
cause a coup d'etat, tr a revolution!’ ex
olaimed she. ‘ But, after all, what are the
secrets of peace and war to me ? The
great thing is to ascertain if Ludwig and
and Albert are here.’
The oommander, a crabbed-looking old
soldier, who had grown grey in the service
of his king and country, now entered to
relieve her suspense. Having eyed her
from head to foot, he said :
‘ One of the fair sex asked for me. It
was you, young girl. Here I am. What
can I do for you ?’
‘ls it Major Keller, oommander at
Marienburg, to whom I have the honor of
speaking V
‘ The same.’
‘ I am commissioned to give this letter
into your hands, major,’ said Catharine,
presenting the letter.
‘ Prom whom did you receive it V con
tinued he.
‘ Prom a stranger who passed down the
road about an hour ago.’
£ Let me see,’ said he, starting as he
recognized the seal, and taking off his hat,
he made a military salute.
Catharine was quite astonished to find
that the despatoh of which she was the
bearer, reoeived as much honor as herself.
Having read the letter, Keller burst in
to a sudden fit of laughter, and then as
suddenly grew grave again, and, taking
out a double eye-glass, silently regarded
her for some time.
‘Would you like to be a vivcmdierV
asked the determined major.
‘Vivandier ’ That would depend on the
regiment. If it were, for instanoe, in the
third .’
‘ \V hat is your dowry ’’ interrupted ho.
Catharine, thinking tho major’s question
very original, and wondering what he
would say next, answered, ‘ Not a large
sum—one hundred gold florin i ; the car
riage of the letter which I have given you.’
‘ Well, that is a dowry for a soldier.’ ,
vCertainly—especially for a sergeant.
But you have not told me if the fifth com
pany of the third regiment ’
‘ Yes, yes ; we will see about that. It
is a company of picked men, measuring
five feet six inches ; and I doubt if your
figure . Permit me mademoiselle,’
said he drawing his sword, and taking her
measure with the blade.
‘ Five feet, at least. Not amiss, not
amiss !’
‘ Major, do you wish to enrol me in the
king’s army V exolaimed she.
‘ It is already done, my darling. I have
but to choose the corps, and I think you
will belong to the Grenadiers.’
‘To the Grenadiers ! Ah, well ! What
does it matter 1 You are joking, oom
mander.’
‘Joking—with this letter! Stay, there
is no longer -any mystery ; you may read
it yourself.’
Catharine took the letter from Major
Keller’s hand, and read as follows :
‘ Order to Major Keller to choose one of
the handsomest men in the regiment, and
to marry him to the young girl-—the bearer
ef this dispatoh. (Signed,)
‘ King Frederick II.”
‘ The king! It was the king ! Good
heavens!’
. ‘ The king, himself. Are you not de
lighted to have made his acquaintance V
Catharine was stupified, and exclaimed
—‘ To marry me ! I will never give my
consent !’-
‘ Your consent!’ replied Keller, showing
her the letter; ‘of that there is no mention
in this order ’
Saying these words, he rang the bell,
and said to the soldier who answered his
summons :
‘ An order from the king for the ohap
lain, A marriage to be solemnized in half
an hour.’
‘ln half an hour!’ oried Catharine
‘lt is impossible ! It is a wilful injury.’
‘ When 1 say half an hour, perhaps a
quarter will suffice. The time to measure
eight or ten grenadiers, and to choose one
among them of the right proportions,’
said he, measuring Catharine again with
eye. ‘ About five feet four or six inches.
A fair complexion to form a contrast
Mademoiselle,’ continued he, with a, mili
tary salute, ‘ I shall be at your service in
a few minutes.’
Presently Keller returned, holding a
paper in his hand.
‘ 1 have found your man,’ said he ; ‘and
you are to sign this promise of marriage
with him for the chaplain, as the law re
quires the oonsent of the parties.’
Catharine, recovering from her dejeotion
exclaimed: ‘Consent! Ah! this paper
has to be signed’ You must have my
name . -Well, major, I will allow myself
to be out into pieoes rather than sign that
paper 1 sdded she, standing in an attitude
of determination before Major Keller.
‘ Really, you would make an admir'able
grenadier,’said he. He then read aloud
the promise of marriage, as follows • ‘ We
the undersigned (you will add yourname,-)
and Sergeant Hosten, of the third regi
ment of the grenadiers——’ s
“ THAT COUNTRY IS THS HOST PROSPEROUS VHBI LABOR COMMANDS XHI GREATEST Mwm »»■
LANCASTER CITY. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING., SIiPTFMKKT? 16. 1862,
Hearing the name Hosten, Catharine
changed countenance.
‘ Can it. be Ludwig V thought she; then,
indeed, fortune has favored me.’ .
The major went on_ reading—‘ Promise
to take each other as man and wife.—
Marienburg, 15th March, 1780. There,
mademoiselle, you see it is not long.
Will you sign this paper 1 Yes, or no ?
No, did you say ? Then we must take
strong measures,’ said he, as he was about
to pull the bell.
Catharine stopped him, saying, ‘I beg
your pardon, major; I did not quite un
stand. The name of the intended, if you
please V
‘ Sergeant Hosten,’ replied Major Kel
ler.
‘ Is it possible ?’
‘And why not? Make yourself easy.
He is a brave,lhandsome fellow, five feet
five inohes and a half, at ledst.’
Catharine could hardly believe her ears,
so providential did this circumstance ap
pear to her ; the distress which she had
experienced but a few minutes ago was
suddenly changed at the sight of this
name into eostaoies of joy.
‘Well, do you still refuse?’. said the
major.
‘ I consent, major, and am ready to sign.
Long live King Frederick!’
‘ All in good time. I was sure of it—l
know the Bex.’
When he had left the room, Keller
oalled Sergeant Hosten.
Albert (for this was the young sergeabt’s
name) now entered, making a military
salute. On perceiving the young girl, he
exolaimed— ‘ Catharine ! the sister of my
betrothed ! What an unexpected pleas
ure !’
‘.Albert, my sister’s lover ! Oh, orue'
mistake!’ ejaculated Catharine, her
dreams of happiness onoe more vanishing.
‘ Commander, what are your orders ?’
They are these, Sergeant Hosten. In
the king’s name you are appointed to
marry this young girl.’ At the words,
‘in the king’s name,’ Albert shouldered
his arms ; but on hearing the words which
followed, he suddenly let fall his gun, and
stood as if petrified.
‘ Do you understand V
‘ Yes, commander,’ said Albert, me
chanically.
‘ A quarter of an hour is given you to
become acquainted with eaoh other, and
to sign the promise of marriage.’
‘ Pardon—excuse, major,’ cried Albert.
‘ Doubtless his majesty’s oommands—it is
my duty to—but you understand that in a
quarter of an hour ’
‘ Are you speaking at random V asked
the major, interrupting him.
‘ No, major, no! But the surprise, the
arrangement. Scarcely arrived in the
garrison, and to be all at once married !
It is like a cannon which goes off before
the match has taken light. After all,
what claim have I to mademoiselle’s hand V
‘Five feet and nearly six inohes. She
is contented with that. Look at her, and
take example by her.’
‘ What! does mademoiselle consent to
this marriage V
‘ She asks nothing better.’
‘ That is to say, major,’ put in Catha
rine ; ‘ permit me ’
‘ You oried, ‘ long live the king !’ and
volunteered to sign immediately,’ inter
rupted the major.
‘ 1 was mistaken, commander,’ replied
she. ‘ I thought that it was Ludwig Hos
ten, my betrothed, and it is Albert Hos
ten, his brother, who is my sister’s affianced
husband. You deceived me by telling me
that Albert was in the fifth company.’
‘ I was a month ago,’ replied Albert.—
‘ I exchanged with my brother. You see,
major, it was thus the mistake arose.’
‘Pooh! pooh! Have done with all
these stories. The king’s letter is all I
care about,’ exclaimed he, reading it again.
‘ Order to Major Keller to choose a soldier
of the garrison, and to marry him imme
diately to the young girl who presents this
letter to him.’ Nothing is said there
about sister, brother, or lovers. You, my
dear, were the bearer of the letter, and
you, sergeant,' I have chosen. You shall
be married. These are my orders. You
have lost five minutes,’ said he, pulling
out his watch; ‘ you have now only ten
left. Make up matters; I will leave you
together until my return.’
‘ One moment, major, and you shall
know all,’ said Catharine, detaining him.
‘ It was not to me, Catharine Reiwel, that
the king gave this letter, but to my sister
Charlotte Riewel, whom he met on the
road. Charlotte did not dare to come to
Marienbnrg, so I came in her stead.—
Therefore, it is my sister who is to marry
Albert; and if you marry me to him, you
will disobey the king.’
‘ Really, if it were true,’ said Keller,
hesitatingly.
‘ I am to marry Charlotte, by the orders
of his Majesty,’ said Albert.
‘lf you doubt my word,’ continued
Catharine, ‘ have Charlotte brought here ;
she will confirm all I have said.’
‘ Send for Charlotte,’ supplioated Al
bert.
‘ Peace and sign. I shall be back be
fore long,’ said Major Keller, as he left
the room.
For some time Catharine and Albert
were silent.
‘ How are we to get out of this scrape V
at leogth asked Catharine.
‘ I would blow up Marienbnrg, sooner
than marry you ’’ oried Albert, furiously.
‘ And 1 would rather be buried than
become your wife!’ exolaimed Catharine,
weeping.
‘ Poor Charlotte ! When our parents
betrothed us, who would have imagined
that suoh a misfortune would separate us ?’
‘ And separate ns just as we were about
to be united !’
‘ But it is not yet done ! It is impossi
ble, if we neither of us sign.’
‘ Do you know what I fear, Alhert ’ —
That they will dispense with our signa
tures, and marry us in spite of ourselves.’
‘ln spite of ourselves! ’ oried Albert,
in a paroxism of anger. I would sooner
tear the hair from your head, my good
Catharine. That is the least I owe to
Charlotte.’
‘ I would sooner soratah out your eyes,
my dear Albert,’ exolaimed Catharine, in
an ecstacy of grief. ‘ Ludwig may depend
upon me for that.’
At this moment Major Keller entered,
followed by two soldiers. Albert and
Catharine, separating suddenly, looked
anxiously towards him.
■ ‘ All in good time,’ exolaimed the major.
‘ You have agreed at last. I expected as
muoh-—I know the/air sex.’ Then, turn
ing to Albert, he said, in a low voioe: <ln
oase of any hesitation on your part, my
fine fellow, I have brought you two com
rades from the reinforcement, charged to;
take you before the court martial, if you
have not signed at the fourth beat of the
drum. There is the firgt,’ added he, as
the drum was heard ontside. Albert
started at the sound. ‘You know tbe
disoipline,’ continued the major ; < dis
obedience to the king—penalty of death
—shot immediately! Come, sergeant,’
added he, pointing to the table, < take the
pen. Now for the conjugal flourish !’
Catharine, suddenly regaining her self
possession, exolaimed: ‘He will not sign,
major; he does not wish to sign—neither
do I! He.detests me—l exeorate him !
Ask him if it be not so.’
Keller was quite puzzled what to make
of this sudden ohange, and said, address
ing Albert: ‘ Your betrothed is joking, I
imagine V
Albert answered, timidly: ‘ But she is
not my betrothed, oommander. Charlotte,
her sister, is my betrothed.’
‘ Always the same story ! I will not
stand it any longer,’ said Keller. And
addressing the soldiers : ‘ Advanoe—
shoulder arms, present arms. You know
the orders; that is enough.’ The two
men, obedient to the command, placed
themselves on either side of Albert. Ma
jor Keller then addressed the latter in a
low tone : ‘ Pay your court now, and I
will aid you as well as I can with my ex
perience of the fair sex ; and the drums
will serve as a serenade. If, at the seoond
beat, you are not at the feet of your in
tended—if, at the third, she does not hold
out her hand—if, at the fourth you do not
both sign, it is evident that you would
rather marry a score of balls, and they
shall be served to you hot.’
At these words Albert shuddered, in
voluntarily. ‘ Twenty balls !’ thought he,
‘ and he will do as he says. Good
heavens!’
‘ Not a word to the young girl,’ con
tinued Keller, still speaking in an under
tone. ‘ Bespeot for the feelings of fair
ladies. I wish for her free consent.’—
Having said this, Keller twirled his
moustache, and stationing himself in front
of the young people, took up a newspaper
and began to read.
After a short interval the drums were
heard, and the major spoke. ‘ Sergeant
Albert Hosten,’ said he, ‘ what are your
sentiments towards Catharine Beiwel,
whom his Majesty has appointed to be your
wife ?’
‘ Now is the time,’ said Catharine, in a
low voice. ‘He is relaxing. Say that 1
inspire you with horror.’
‘ Well; yes,’ said he, with an effort;
‘ Catharine inspires me ’ He had got
so far when the drums beat the second
time. He suddenly interrupted himself
and, as they beat louder and louder, fell
on his knees before her, exclaiming: ‘ I
love you Catharine—l love you with all
my heart! I adore her, commander—l
I adore her !’ Turning to Catharine, who
knew not what to think, he said, in an un
dertone : ‘ I hate you, never fear ; but do
not contradict me, or I am dead.’
‘Very well!’ exolaimed Keller, at the
third beat, as he watched Albert in the
aot of kissing Catharine’s hand. ‘ Ser
geant Albert Hosten, does your Catharine
reoiprocate your sentiments V
‘ Yes, commander, she loves me—she
loves me to desperation ; but excuse the
first moment—she is in reality as delighted
as I am. She thanks the king ; she thaDks
you—we both thank you.’ Again the
drums were heard. ‘ls it not so, my
good Catharine V Then, in a low voice—
‘lt is for Ludwig! He is lost if you do
not give me your hand.’
Catharine was quite distraoted at these
words ; this was the only thing which
could shake her determination. If Lud
wig were in danger she would do anything
to save him. She was silent. The sound
of the drums decreased.
‘ For Ludwig,’ repeated - Albert, em
phatically ; and poor Catharine oould no
longer resist, and gave her hand to Albert.
The drum oeased.
‘ You see, major,’ oried Albert trium
phantly, ‘ she has given me her hand !’
‘So much the better*! Now, Sergeant
Hosten and you Catharine Reiwel, yon
have only to sign the engagement, whioh
is on the table.’
At these words they looked at each
other in consternation, for they knew that
if they signed they could never retract.
‘ You first, sergeant.’
■ ‘ Yes, major—certainly ; I am going
.’ Then hearing tho drums he started,
and approaohed the table. Ho hesitated,
but the drums beat again ; he took the
pen, then threw it down, and passed his
band aoross his forehead, in great per
plexity. The drums continued to beat.—
‘Shot! shot!’ thought he,quiokly taking
up the pen again, and preparing to sign.
Catharine, who had been eagerly watch
ing his every movement, oaught his hand.
‘Oh ! yon will not do that, Albert:’
‘ No, never !’ oried Albert, recovering
himself; ‘ rather die !’ Then, after a
pause, during which the last beat of the
drums grew fainter and fainter, and at last
oeased. Keller, who had' been attentively
observing the scene, now said, as he slowly
rose—
‘ You have not signed ?’
‘ No, sir,’ replied Catharine, resolutely.
‘ I will marry no one on this earth but
Ludwig.’
‘ No, major,’ ohimed in Albert, in the
same tone. ‘ I shall look forward to meet
ing Charlotte in heaven.’: -
‘ Well, exeonte your orders,’ oried Kel
ler to the two soldiers. ‘ Arrest the ser
geant. Forward maroh 1 To the court
martial, to be instantly judged, and shot
as a rebel to the commands of the king.’
‘Albert!’ shrieked Catharine.
‘ Farewell, Catharine,’ answered Albert,
surrendering his arms to the. soldiers, and
preparing to follow them. ‘Be happy
with Ludwig, and tell Charlotte that I
die for her.’ At these words Catharine
sank into a chair, in a paroxysm of grief.
But, just as the soldiers were leaving the
room with Albert, the sound of drums was
again heard. There were ories of I To
arms ! to arms !’
‘ What is that ?’ oried Keller in a tone
of astonishment.
Soldiers belonging to the king’s escort
here entered the apartment, and among
was Ludwig. They were followed by an
officer, who announced ‘ His Majesty the
King!’
Catharine’s eyes suddenly met those of
Ludwig. ‘Ludwig here! oried she.—
‘ What good angel sent you?’'
‘My bomjpatiy entered the fort at the
same time as that of his • Majesty; and
Charlotte—’
‘ Charlotte with the king!’ - exolaimed
Albert, scarcely daring to believe his
eyes. . - - .
‘ Yes, Charlotte,’ said the king, advan
cing, holding the trembling girl by the
hand.
Keller bent one knee to the ground, but.
was immediately raised by the king, who
said', ‘No ceremony here, major; I am
here incognito. I bring Charlotte Kie
wel, in order to oonviet her of being a
little rebel against the oommands of his
Majesty.’
* How is that, sire ?’
‘About an hour ago I was walking in
the fields, like a simple mortal, when I
met the goddess of grace, who answers to
the name of Charlotte. I considered that
in marrying her to a handsome soldier, I
should make an admirable , couple. You
know that this is one of my hobbies. I
therefore gave her a letter for you, major,
in whioh, without her knowledge, I charged
you to find her a husband.’
‘ I reoeived the letter, sire, but this
young girl was the bearer,’ said he point
ing to .Catharine.
‘Ah ! ah! Catharine, the sister of my
messenger, she who had the courage to
take her place. Another rebel.’
‘lwas ignorant, sire, that I had the
honor of parrying an order from your Maj
esty,’ said Catharine.
‘ And if you had known it, what would
you have done ?’
‘ Well to tell you the truth, I should
not have delivered it. I should have
found someone, else—my brother, for in
s.tanoe, or my great aunt, who is sixty-six.
We should have seen if the major would
have found some handsome soldier to mar
ry her.’
‘ Courageous and clever, as they told
me—and oharming,in fact, as her sister!’
exolaimed Frederick, kissing her on the
foi ehead. ‘ Kings have the same privilege
as old men,’ continued he. ‘ Imagine my
surprise, major, when, about half an hour
ago, passing the place where I met Char
lotte, I still found, quietly watohing her
goats, the young girl whom I believed to
be already betrothed to a grenadier at
Marienburg. She told me all—she asked
my pardon,’ said he, smiling. ‘ But lam
angry ; I have been relentless, and I have
brought the criminal to the fort, where I
intend that my oommands shall be exeouted
by a regular marriage.'
‘ For pity’s sake, sire,’ entreated Char
lotte, looking at Ludwig ; ‘ my hand is not
free, lam already betrothed. I conjure
you to take my sister in my place.’
‘ Always your sister ! But it is proba
bly too late. I suppose you have already
married Catharine, major, as I com
manded.’
1 Nearly, sire. I have measured mad
emoiselle ; above five feet. I have meas
ured my choice soldiers, and chosen one
of five feet six inohes—Sergeant Hosten.
Here he is,’ said he, pointing to Albert.
‘ But I had to do with two obstinate peo
ple. The young girl resisted, the Bergeant
made wry faces ; in short, 1 was just
threatening him with oourt martial and
discharge of musketry, when your maj
esty —’
‘ Discharge of musketry !’ exolaimed
the king. ‘ Oh, major, that was rather
too military.’
‘ The guns were not yet loaded, sire,’
replied the major, smiling ; *it was merely
a joke of mine. I know the fair sex.’
‘ And why, Mademoiselle Catharine
Reiwell,’ continued she king, ‘ would you
not marry Sergeant Albert Hosten?’
‘ Because I am betrothed to Sergeant
Ludwig Hosten,’ answered she, boldly.
‘ That has been her song for the last
hour, and I would not believe her,’ said
the major. ‘ A letter was brought me
from your majesty—a command to marry
the bearer. The bearer was Catharine.—
I have not deviated from that; I only at
tend to the orders. Catharine will marry
Albert, unless your Majesty gives a ooun
ter-order.’
‘Oh, sire, a oounter-order!’ pleaded
Charlotte, on her knees.
1 Sire, a oounter-order, in the name of
heaven!’ implored Ludwig and Albert,
kneeling before the king. .
‘ How is it that you do not join in the
ontreaties, Catharine ?’ asked the king.
- ‘ Because, oounter-order or no cohnter
order, I will marry no one but Ludwig my
betrothed.’
‘Charming, charming!’ cried the king,
laughing. Then addressing the three
young people kneeling at his feet, ‘ Rise,
my ohildren. Albert and Charlotte, stand
here,’ said he, pointing to his right.—
When they had done as he commanded, he
added, ‘ Ludwig and Catharine, stand
there,’ pointing to his left. They obeyed.
‘Two brothers—handsome grenadiers,’
said he, smiling ; ‘ two sisters—snperb
girls. Now, Major Keller, measure each
of the couples.’
Keller gravely unsheathed his sword,
and proceeded to measure the young peo
ple. ‘ Five feet six inohes, against five
feet one inoh and a half; and five feet five
inches and a half, against five feet two
inches.’
‘ What do yon think of that doable pro
portion 1’ asked the king.
‘ The two couples are not amiss; but
Albert would be more suitable to Catha
rine,’ responded the major.
‘ Bah ! for half an inoh!' exolaimed the
king. ‘ Besides, Catharine and Ludwig
may grew yet. Deoidedly, I will give the
counter-order, and make two matches in
stead of one. Of oourse, 1 shall add two
hundred golden florins to those I have al
ready given.’
‘ Oh, sire, how can we thank you
enough V oried the four young people at
onoe.
The two couples were nnited, and thus
the cloud, which had so suddenly obscured
their bright hopes, was as quickly dispel
led, and only caused the sunshine of their
happiness to seem the brighter.

THE AMBER BASE,
A KBW AND SUPERIOR METHOD OF M&li
MOUNTING ARTIFICIAL
I would announce to my patrons and others requiring
the services of the Dentist, that I am about introducing
the AMBER BASE into my practice. The advantages of
this method of mounting teeth over the metalic base have
been tally established in the five years in which It has been
subject to the severest tests, with the. most satisfactory
results.
It is fully as strong and durable ns either sliver or gold
—more easily kept clean, more natural to the touch of the
tongue and lips, and it Is firmer and more serviceable in
the month, in consequence of our being able to obtain a
more perfect fit to the gum.
This work is not so expensive as gold, buta little higher
in price than silver. It will be warranted to give satisfac
tion, or be exchaoged for gold or silver work as the patient
may prefer. .

its work as well as the flat stone mills in milling establish
ments, and requires but one-half the power to drive the
largest sizes. They are very compact, perfectly simple, and
for farm use will .last Thirty Years, and cost nothing for

THE HORSE POWER
has proved itself to be the best ever invented. The friction
is reduced by IRON BALLS, so arranged in all the bear
ings, that the whole weight of the castings runs nbon
them.' THBEE POUNDS DRAUQHT, at the end of a ten
feet lever, will keep the power in motion! thus permitting
the entire strength of the horses to be need on the
machine to be driven. One horse will do as mnch work on
this power as two on the endless Chain Power. It is port
able and may be used in the field as well os in the boose.
