in order to givp the appearance that the inmates
had retired. ; ’
The young lady to whom we allude had sat,
in the same posillon.for at least twrhonrs, du

tbr acquainted with the peculiar" position of
these two persons, ere we proceed any further.
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.

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.

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

As they were moving away from the scene
of capture, a hunchback individual rose op
from; behind a bash near by and followed cau
tiously after them.'■ ■■ :
At a distance of three miles north of Prince--
ton Was an old-cattle residence to which young
Danford was conducted and there placed in a
cell, after which his captors turned towards the
American camp, followed closely-by tbe bunch

"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.
A moment of painful silence ensiled, when
he said:
“I told you that you were Alone, but yob
would not believe me. I” '
At that moment heavy steps were heard ap

His loose mantle, his white hair and beard, and

exclaimed Henry, with a menacing gesture, at
thesame time drawing bis sword.

which had been left open ;i“and unless you leave

The huncbiack gave two heavy stamps with
his foot on the floor, when immediately ftfileof
soldiers, headed b$ a man in the uniform
of acaptain, came into the apartment.
“Ellis! 0, Ellis !” exclaimed Edna, and the
nest moment she was clashed ib the arms of the
young captain WhbHa'd just 'entered the room.
A low, audible curso escaped Henry Hans

val, but his weapon was knocked down, by the
hunchback, who stepped quiet y between them.
“Sold 1” shouted the hunchback, “Captain

Drunken- Women.--The Now; Orleans True
Delta of the 27tb has these twoj paragraphs in
its “ Home Department:”
“ We know not why it it so, but the fact can
not be disputed that drunken women are haw
more plentiful in’this city than we ever knew
them to be before.. An evening or two since,
we saw tbrfee fearful cases within the course
of as many hours. The first one was taken' to

“jibe second case was in the ”hird District,
and'the victim was ayoung and really beauti
ful, woman. Her dre is was neat and clean.—
When brought in she was placed on the floor
of the lock-up, and so completely insensible
was she that we,felt her pulse, ip order to be
assured thit Itle übjlc'l before' us was still
breathing clay,” and at the - time a thought
arose that she bad been plied witji.some deadly

The letter envelope is a recent inevention,
and has proved a great public convenience. 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-.

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

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

which makes the use of it so easjp was not in

An unsuccessful experiment],with the socket
was made before "Louis-XIY, iii, 1(1668, but the
want of jiiniforinity in the musket-wasan obsta

piece of mechanism. Bayonets at that time
Were a sort.of dagger, of whiohjijlle handle was
pladfed in the muzzle of the Eniasket, and’ of
course prevented the musket ftpija bding fired.
The .first battle ,at which tpejj bayonet was
seriously employed, was that of] Turin, in 1602;
but it wits not until the "battle ojfij Spires, 1603,
(hot jtha (first charge of the bayprtet was execu l

was often employed in combat, and the Prince
de Lingne called it “ a peculiar] wrench arm,”
owing to the manner in which ink French sol
diers used it; but the real value of it was not
