Col. Dansford, an enthusiast ih the cause of the bolopiesj and a particulai’ frifend of Gen. Putman, was ,tlie ovfperof-the cottage to which we have alluded. ' His wife had been dead two years, daring which time Edna; theft only child had superintend her.father’s domestic affairs at the " Willow Cottage,” as the place waafamil iarlycalled, ■; Edna was rich in knowledge and goodWlof heart, possessed of great' beauty, and her worldly prospects for the prts of a Cpijaette, she had studiously alvoided giving encourage ment, where her heart could not sympathize with the object. i There was one, however, as might have been expected, on, whom the heart of the high-mind ed Edna could turn with full confidence. The person was Ellis D inford—a private in the federal army, under Seneral Putman. Ellis by his upright deportment and bravery, ■ bad obtained the go ld opiniob of his general, and the confidence o ’ his follow soldiers. He was generous, kind, oourtoous and condescend ing. yet resolute and determined when in pur suit of right, and exhibited a will and a fixed ness of purpose of more than ordinary ca pacity. ' 1 r Forty-eight boars preceding the interview between Henry and Edna, Ellis having been instructed with the : mportant duty of spying out the movement cf tbe British garrison nt Brunswick, was detected and captured. The appalling news fell heavily upon Edna’s heart! and well nigh crushed it beneath tbe over whelming grief. •e me, ice, , snce, The young man—Henry Hansford—who held tbe colloquy with Edhft, was her own cousin. Five years before this period, he was a suitor, for her hand, and had been most determined in his endeavors to win her heart. She, however, had never encouraged him, and supposed that he had long since relinquished all claims as a lover, and she had even taken him into her con fidence to pertain extent. solonies with kbown; yet in interesting i which have rhich not un- Greneral took lung of this He was a captain in the American army, and very intimate with Gen. Putman, who looked npon the young officer as a brave, honorable man. Edna being anxious to secure the aid of the commander in rescuing her lover from tbe Brit ish, had perhaps,'opened her heart more freely to her cousin ;■ yet -she bad never questioned bis faith, nor doubted his professions of friend ship, until that evening, and the fact thatel e still entertained snob, feelings had chilled Her heart to the very core, causing her to start back with mate astotaishmeat. ) We ndW-luiffi back to the -time when Ellis Hanford took his leafe of. (Sen: Patman, and started on the hnzarddns undertakingof recon noitering the British 'camp. The movement would necessarily be intended witbgreat peril, and there whs not a : man, in the American gar rison better qhaft&ed tor tbe mission than, yonng Hanford, nor ode in whom Gen.

"We will now returp to Edna) in the- wing room of the “ Willow ‘Cottage.” “I may as well tell you now, as 1 at any future period," observed Henry, the moment he had Recovered his self-possession, subsequent to Ed na's exclamation of surprise, “that my heart is fully set upon obtaining you as my wife. This has been the sole purpose of my life for the last five years, and I cannot give you up—l cannot see you another’s.” For an instant there was a slight curl of con tempt on Edna’s finely turned lips, and a deep crimson tinged her cheek; but in a moment the sentiment subsided and she replied-. “Henry, years ago, you sought this object, aud were made acquainted with my feelings on the subject. I then told -you plainly and deci dedly, that I could hot, and would not, become your wife. Henry, you have deceived me.— While I was opening my heart to ■ you as a brother, you were secretly plotting my ruin. Hereafter, I wish to have no acquaintance with you. Ido not wish toshaye you intrude.upon my privacy. Leave me now! Leave me in stantly 1” “You are mistaken, cousin Edna," he replied! with a cold, insolent sneer. “I shall not go un til yon accompany me; and you must do that immediately. 1 have come at this time for the express pqrposfe. My carriage is waiting at the corner above; so be Os expeditious as possible." “Henry for shame I to insult jour friend, or at least one who has been your friend.; leave me or I will ring for assistance.” “Yon are aiohei There is not one living soul in the house, except yon and me. I have .plan ned this myself, and it is the result of a month’s study; -AU things are now ready, so prepare yourself us soon as possible.” “I will not go,” she replied, slernlyi “I be lieve that you have asserted a falsehood. My father was in tills rooin not more than, two hours ago”—and she sprang to the hell cord.— .Her movements were so nervous .that the Sord 'parted, and she could dietmctly'.bere the tingle of the bell.

Re cently it has extended to more than that, and has now become expressive of the political sen timent of the writer. In fact; d. Sort of envel ope mania is now rdging throughout the coun ty, and has already reebbed to that extent that plain envelopes are almost banished froto.tha, postoffice. Th'e bivil war presents a rich field for the envelope illustration, and no little nmottnt of genius and talent is now employed in that direction. Some contain the most beau; tiful devices, illustrative of American, patriot ism. The American colors are blended into every' imaginable beautiful shape, producing scale of the most charming designs. The hu morous designs; however, are the most nlitneri ous, and attract the hi oat attention. Momus himself, seems to have them ih bharge. Let us describe a few of them. A lion (North) and' an asS (South) are in conversation. They comp to the conclusion that “one of us must conquer.” A maiden, with basket on her arm] and a na tional flag in ber band, is trotting along thb road. > She is met by. a wolf, who drops on bis kneeaJand avows bis affection. The picture is thus explained—“ The secession wolf offering to lead. Kentucky .put of the Union. That’s . what’s the matter.” The “Old Boy,” in most; horrible form, with cloven foot, glaring eyes and forked tail, is another picture. He is,’ la ; belled “The first Secessionest.” “Governor Wise going to the war,” is very amusing. Lbok-. ing at it one way, and you have the bust of a pompous General. Turn it around, and it is thb head of a jackass. Jeff. Davis going “through ' to Waphinglon,” Is represented on the bapk of a turtle, the ‘‘stars and bars” lastly flapping in the wind. There js a dgal of truth in thp illus trption entitled, “How Virginia Was Voted out of the Union.” There is a log cabiM with two windows, at one of which the affirmative votes are cast, and at the other the negative ybtes.— At the, Brat the election judges are smiling. At the negative window the voteren’cohnteVs a re volver. A-group in the rear are armed with mijskels and a whisky jug. In another, “Jeff.” in the fcbape of a Sneaking.animal, is trying to' rob aneagle’B nest'. The noble bird pounces on bibi, saying: “I’ll block that game, ydu thiev ing rascal.” Significant 1 “The ‘Bragg’ fruit of (the Palmetto Trees—on,” is represented by a General suspended by the fiepk.

Through the other he is departing fnlim Wash- 1 ington “for a warmer climate,” froni a scaffold. A squad of Zouaves, on another envelope, have Jeff - , perched in the air on the points of their bayonets, he exclaiming, “I only wanted to be let alone." Below is the remark, ‘j’Jeff’s Un bounded ambition gives him an elevated posi tion.” And so they run through countless de signs. Owing to the extbhsiVa mdnufacture, thebe illustrated envelopes'are sold jat a trifle over plain onee. b'ivb hoWjfbofe'e into general use. . | ■ Origin of the Bayonet.— Tha bayonet was invented, it is said; at Bayonne’, inij 1841, and imployed in IC7O in the regiffieht of the ting’s fuaiieers. It sensibly modified the by feed of military art in Europe, as it made.lcavalry fees redoubtable in infantry, and caused the fire bf lines of battle to-be regarded os the principle meansof action; The bayonet has, in fact, of ten proved the decisive, anils bf the epittbaf. According, to local tradition, it vyas in a small hamlet in the environs of Bayonne, that this aytfty was invented. What led to.the invention of it was, that in a fierce combat: between gome Basque peasants "aVid soifie Spanish smugglers, the former having exhausted theiijammunition, andj being thereby at a disadvantage, fastened their long knives to their muskets and by means of'th'e weapon so formed, put tbeijr enemies to . .
