It wns during tli lata ' Tebcllion. I
was nn officer in tho Federal service
mill it thaoccd, through the fortune of
war, that my command was eent to
New Orleans on special duty.
This duty, to most, of ua, "was not
Very hlensant ; and we were Awarding
eagerly our summons to Another quar
ter, when I met with a rather roman
tic adventure. .
Passing down a secluded street, late
one evening, I was startled by a lotrd
shriek, evidently in a woman's voice,
followed by an appeal for help. Din t
ing forward, I preccived in the dim,
gray shadows of twilight, which fell up
on all things, the slender figure of a
woman, enveloped in a waterproof
cloak, struggling ia the grasp of a bur
ly xulllan. n it was but tho work of a
luomont to deal him a blow, which
laid him nt my feet. He arose, and
with muttered curses and threats of
future vengeance, to which I, nt the
time, paid no heed, considering them
but the ravings of an inebriate, stag
gered onward. All this time tho wo
man had stood trembling with terror,
leaning against an adjacent building.
. "How can I ever thank you, sir?"
It was a low, clear, sweet voice, the
unmistakable tones of refinement. I
raised my hat. r ;.
"If you will 'allow' me," madan'" I
replica, "I will escort you home. It is
riot safe for lauica to be out alone, in
theso troublous times."-
"I know it," she responded," some
what haughtily. "But since your nr
my has demoralised the city, and forc
ed its citizens to an observance of laws,
which are only the laws of tyrants
tho power of the strouger over the
weaker sinco New Orleans has be
come what it now is, we are obliged to
submit to much and do 'many acts
which are repugnant to us 1"
Sho turned away, with a quick,- im
perious gesture of disdain, and, ere I
could advance a step, had .vanished
down an adjoinirg st reet. I stood, for
a moment, staring blankly in tho di
rection that she had takifn,and, I must
confess it, thinking very much of the
soft tones f her voice, and tho bowil
deriDg dark eyes with which she had
glanced into my face, while she utter
ed her tirade ngniust the army, to
w hich I had the honor of belonging.
"Whew! The little rebel," I ex
claimed half aloud as I turned to move
away. Just then, my eyes fell upon a
package lying upon the pavement, and
I raised it with a start of surprise. It
was evidently a small box carefully
wrapped in tissue paper. Thrusting it
in my pocket I started in the direction
which she had taken with a faint hope
of overtaking her : but I had proceed
ed but a few .rods, when I, heard my
name called, and glancing around, bo
held the colonel of my regiment.
"Major," said he, hurriedly, "re
port at ouce at headquarters. I have
received important news, and wish to
see you and some of the other ofiicers
immediately.
He passed rapidly onward before I
could answer with more than the cus
tomary salute, and was lost to sight in
the distance. . ..... ,
With a feeling of impatience which
I could not restrain, I obeyed mysupe-,
rior'a commands, and hastened to head
quarters. Here I soon discovered that
we were to leave Xsew Orleans at once
and proceed northward. Important
military movements rendered this
change imperative.
I sought my own quarters, an! pro-1
cecded to examine the little package.
Removing the numerous strings and'
wrappings, a small box stood reveal-1
cd. With an odd sensation at my
heart I raised the lid. Within the in-!
closure, upon a bed of azure satin, J
there rested a magnificent set of pearls,
bearing the inscription, in old English
letters: "Cecile Tremuine, from her
Fatter."
My heart filled with pity for the
young girl. whom I felt convinced was
Cecile Tremaine. . Where was she go
ing alone so late, and with so costly a
burden? Who could tell what story of
want, and woo, and despair it might
be in her poiver to relate? My exper
ience iu tho war-devastated South had
shown me clearly the suffering and
poverty, and desolation of many of tho
first, and best In the laud, and may not
her errand bavo been to convert the
jewels into bread for some suffering
loved one? Hard old solditr though
I was, I felt the tears start in my eyed.
And from that hour I determined to
protect the jewels, and, sooucr er lat
er, if it were in the puwr i.f man to
do so, I would return them sal'ly to
her possession.
But I had uo time for sentimentaliz
ing ; the army was already iu motion,
and my place was with my command;
so, stilling my sighs of regret, I pre
pared for immediate departure. Tak
iug the pearls, I sewed them carefully
into a large, leathern belt which I wore
on my person concealed beueath my
outer clothing, and determined to de
fend them w ith mv life.
JUNK (5, 1877.
That right we left New .Orleans,
and years elapsed before I saw that
city ngain. Turning our faces north
ward wo moved through Mississippi ;
here we had several, skirmishes, but
from all I escaped unhurt. Months
elapsed, and still I wore the pearls
safely hidden, and, as I fondly imag
ined, unsuspected by anyone. But I
was doomed to find out my mistake.
We were encampew not far from
Chattanooga, Tennessee. We were ex
pecting marching orders daily, and,
lying idly in camp, were glad of any
diversion to while away the long hours,
when, one day', & rtrolling musician,
an old man with a long white beard,
and carrying a violin in a dilapidated
case, was brought into camp. lie had
been observed prowling around, and
so had been "taken in," as one of the
men laughingly remarked.
But, subsequent circumstances prov
ed that the "boot was on the other
foot." Worn out-with inactivity, the
boys, one aud nil,, welcomed the old
fellow; and, when we found what ex
quisito music he drew forth from that
worn, old violin, we decided unani
mously, that the new arrival was a
grind addition to the ramr).' "
, But, once, I caught him looking at
me ; thcro was a peculiar glitter, iu his
teely-bliie eye?, which did not please
me ; an impressiorf that' we had met
before, crept over me, and from that
hour I became suspicious of him, aud
was ever on the alert.
I had "turned in" f. r the night. All
the camp lay quietly sleeping be
neath tho clear, white, moonbeams ;
no sound broke the silence, save tho
occasional challenge of tho sentinel;
end I lay, restlessly tossing on my
rude conclr, uneasy and filled with a
vague distrust, a feeling that some
thing w-as to happen.
The moon-rays penetrated my shel
ter, and d rapped in great, white
patches on the ground, before my bed.
I lay with my eyes fixed upon them ;
when, suddenly, I saw a dark shadow
cross their whiteness : then a form drew
cautiously near, and I saw that it was
our strolling minstrel.
But he was no longer bent and gray,
and, in that moment I found out two
things; that he Had obtained access to
our camp in disguise for some unlaw
ful purpose ; and, also that my good
memory had not played me false; this
midnight prowler was the man whom
I had struck, for assaulting the young
lady, sonio months before. In a flash
I saw it all. He had attempted to
rob her of her jewels ; ' but, failing in
his vile design, had secretly observed
my possessiou of them, aud had follow
ed our regiment and dogged my steps
for the purpose of robbing me at last.
Something prompted me to close my
eyes, and feign sleep. I felt the. vil
lain approach me closer closer
then; a sponge saturated with chloro
form was heid to my nostrils; with a
quick spring I bounded to my' feet and
caught the ruffian by the ibront. Just
then, the sound of a bugle' pealed
through the quiet night, "boots and
saddles." With a desperate wrench
the robber escaped me j and I before
I w!s scarcely aware of my own move
ments found myself in my Baddla,
and, with the rest of the command, on
my way to the sceno of action.
Here wo met the opposing army,
and a fearful battle ensued.
Through oil that dreadful engage
ment, I kept the pearls jealously guard
ed ; it was a point of honor with me,
and I would never give them up. Such
thoughts were flitting through my mind
when I felt a strong grasp on my bri
dle, and, glancing down, stood face to
face with the pretended old man, the
would-be robber of the night before.
At that moment I ft It a sharp pain in
my side, followed by a numb, dead
feeling.
I saw the red-hot torrent which pour
ed forth, and knew that I was wound
ed ; then I lost consciousness.
I was aroused by a rough and hasty
touch; and, opening my eyes I found
my enemy bending over me, his hands
busily removing my outer garments,
and I knew he was searching for tho
C earls. Whence came my strength I
now not ; but with a sudden, mighty
effort I seize J my saber, and struck
him a heavy blow. 1 Baw him reel,
and fall backward and then once
more I swooned away.
On my second return to conscious
ness I found myself lying ou a hospi
tal bed, with kindly facts around me.
My first thought was of the jewels, and
my heart thrilled with exultation
when I fouud that they were safe. For
many weary months I lay upon my
bed ; uud, during tho interval, the war
ended. But my health was very fee
ble, und when I was removed to my
native New York it was the general
impression thst I had come home to
die.
However, that was not my intention,
nud In the course of a year I found
myself ou tho fair way to recovery.
Tho secret of the pearls I had uaver
shared with any one. They had beeu
iu my posstisiou for tho space of live
nth
$2 PER-ANNUM.
years, and yet I had never really dis
paired of returning thorn to their own
er. About that time it occurrod to mo
that a trip to Louisiana would be, ve
ry beneficial to my health ; and so, in
the year 18G8, I found myself once
more in New Orleans. My first step
was to insert a "personal" iu all the
daily papers, addressed to Miss Ce
cile Tremaine, and requesting her pres
ent address. But I received no re
sponse. Day nfter day passed by, and
I was rapidly losing hope, when it
chanced one morning that I strolled
iuto the printing office of a friend, and
stood watching tho nimble finger of
the compositors, among whom were
several ladies.
At length I heard tho foreman ad
dress one of the employees as "Miss
Tiemaine." With a wildly-throbbing
heart I cast a furtive glance ia her di
rection. Great heavens it was she I I
was sure of it.
In a few moments I had acquainted
my friend with the facts, and my -belief
that this was tho young lady of
whom I was in quest. lie told rue
then of her poverty, and that from
one of the first and wealthiest families
of New Orleans she was rcducod to
earn her bread. He said that, there
was no doubt that I was on tho rizht
track, as she had already told lnm of
the Joss-ot her pearls. On the night
thnt I had rescued her, she had been
on her way to dispose of them for her
father lay dying, and she had no means
with which to furnish him food and
medicine. ,
Ho was dead now, and she, poor
girl, was. all alone in the world.
I will puss over my introduction,
and tho astonishment with which she
listened to my story. Timo had soft
ened her asperity toward the "Yan
kees," nud, as months flew by, she
seemed to have quite forgotten all past
animosities, so that, when at last I ask
ed her to become my wife, I was pre
pared to hear hor answer "Yes," and I
was not disappointed. . ,
And on the day .that she became my
bride, amid the lace of her snowy veil,
and crowning her heavy waves of rav
en hair, like drops of ice, were tins jew
els which I had cherished, and defend
ed with my life, for all those dreadful
years my Cecile's Pearls.
The Temperance Cyclone. '
The Philadelphia Express, in a com
plimentary notice of Francis Murphy's
labor, says :
Mr. Murphy will probably close his
meetings in this city for the present
about Juno 1st. It was his first in
tention to carry on the work "until
the city was redeemed," as he once ex
pressed it, but for certain reasons it
has been thought best not to continue
the exercises through the summer.
As we look over our exchange news
papers, and notice the many Temper
ance Murphy meetings held in differ
ent cities and towns, and read of the
thousands of converts made, we can
not but say, that "surely the hand of
God is in this movement."
Saved himself from a drunkard's
fate, the tale of his own redemption
never fails of awakening tho warmest
sympathies of man's nature, and en
couraging others to make the effort
which will finally bring the same hap
piness and contentment he ' now en
joys. Seven years ago be was strip
ped of everything ; separated from bis
wife and children, and he in a dun
geon. Tho latter at last become in
straightened circumstances, not even
having food to eat. We can portray
the agony of his soul as he paced his
lonely cull, aud thought that ere his
release came, death might take them
from him. His earnst prayers to God
were at last answered. Murphy found
a friend in tho person of Capt. Sturte
vant, of Portland, Me., the same who
now speaks from the platform upon
the sulijoct of temperauce. Through
the latter's influence he was released.
As be clasped his wifo to his bosom,
well did she kuow as he said "God
helping me, wife, I will never touch
a drop of liquor, and never sell anoth
er drop." that that vow would bo sa
credly kept. Soou his little homo was
made comfortable, and in tho fulness
of his heart at the great good which a
temperance life had accomplished for
him, ha suid : "I must tell others. I
must save my fellow man. I must tell
him to forever put away from him the
intoxicating bowl."
Experience has made him eloquent.
Who, then, could resist such appeals
as the following, which came from his
heart when addressing an audience ut
the annex to the Academy : "I see be
fore me, beneath the tattered coat or
torn blou-io, the noble hoart of many a
kindly man. Assert your manhood
to-day. Put on your armor, aud
through the lovo of Jesus Christ, you
will bo alio to wear it."
Mr. Murphy's success is further at
tributable to bis avoidance of every
word calculated to wouud the feelings
of those who have fallen. J lis woi''

tically, it inculcates the literal accept

brotherhood, and. its method is to
reach out the hand of fraternity to the
broken down drunkard and lift him
again to the standing of upright man
hood. ,
No matter how degraded, how sunk
en iu the depths of despair tho victim
may be, tho apostle of temperance
says : "Brother, give me your hand.
Ill save you yet,".. Trustiug literally

Why Nye Refused the ArabianHorse.
The following anecdote of tho late
Senator Nye is told by the Virginia
City (Nev.) Enlerprite:
"He. was telling us iucidents of a
journey to Europe, fiom which he had
theujust returned. Among the rest
he said tho Sultan of Turkey ordered
In his honor, as a Senator of the Unit
ed States,1 a grand review of the army
in Constantinople, nnd the Grand Vi
zier mounted him upon a steed which
he describe! as magnificent. Said Nye,
"he was a pure Arabian. He had a
coat like velvet ; he felt like a myriad
of steel springs beneath a man ; his eye
was between a lion's and a woman's,
with all the courage of the one and all
the human gentleness and beauty of
tho other blended ; he knew I was an
old man, and, was aa tender of roe as a
child, When I dismounted I could
not refrain front expressing to the
