WHAT Cams OF A VALENTINE, On the evening of the 13th of February, 1850, twq young men sat in a comfortably fur nished room in a largo New York hoarding house. A bright fire glowed in the grate, well chosen engravings adorned the walls, and a bright light was diffused abuut tbo room from an Argand burner. Let me introduce the occupants of the apart ment as Tom Siancy and John Wilbur, young men of twenty-five, or thereabouts, who were known in business circles as Stancy & Wilbur, retail dry goods dealers, No. —, Broadway.— They had taken apartments together, one of which is now presented to the reader. “Has it occurred to yon, Wilbur,’' asked his partner, removing his cigar and knocking away the ashes, “ to-morrow is St. Valentine’s day ?” “ Yes,'l thought of it this afternoon, as I was walking up from-the store.” “Su did 1, and to some purpose, too, as I will show you.” Tom Stancy..weht to a drawer and drew out a gorgeous valentine,'an elaborate combination of hearts, doves, &e. “ What do you think I for that ?” ho asked. “ I do’nt know, I’m sure. It appears to-be very elegant.” “ It cost me ten dollars.” “Whew 1” whistled Wilbur. “It strikes me you are either very extravagant or very de voted. May 1 know what fair damsel is to be made glad .by the receipt of this elegant mis sive?” “ That’s my secret,” said Tom, laughing.^— “ I don’t mind telling you, however.' It’s to go to Edith Castleton.” ~ “ I presume you feel particularly interested in the young lady.” ! “ Not at all. But I told her I would send her a valentine, a! la Vila ! Sha’eltyou conform to the custom of other days ?” “ I had not thought of it," said Wilbur, thoughtfully, “ but 1 believe I will.” “ And what fair lady will you select as the recipient?” “ You remember the poor seamstress who oc cupies the attic in the house ?’’ “ Yes, I have met her on the stairs two or three times.” “ She looks a.s if times were hard with. her. I think I will Send her a valentine.” “ And what good do you think it will do her?” asked Stancy in surprise. •“ Wilbur went to the desk, and taking -out a sheet of note paper, drew from his portemon naioa ten dollar bill) wrapped it in a paper, on [From the Washington Chronicle.} MARS ANB MAY. M. H. COBB, ■whicK ho had previously written, “ From St. Valentine,” and placed the whole Tn an envel ope. ... “There,” said he, “my valentine hag cost os much as yours, and I venture to say. will be as welcome.” , , • “You are right. T wish I had not bought this costly trifle. However, as it is purchased I will send'it.” The next day dawned clear and frosty. It was lively enough for those who sat by comfor table fires and dined at luxurious tables—but for the poor who shared none of these advanta ges it was indeed a bitter day. In an attic room, meanly furnished, sat a young girl, pale abd thin. She was cowering over a scanty wood fire, the best she could, af ford, which heated the room very insufficiently. She was sowing steadily, shivering from time to time, ns the cold blast shook the windows and found its way through the crevices. Poor child I Life had a very black aspect for her on that winter day. She was alone in tho world. There was ■ absolutely no one on whom she coaid call for assistance, though she needed it sorely enough. ■ The thought came to her more than once in her discomfort, “is it worth while living any longer ?”. But she re coiled -from the sin of suicide, i She might starve to death, but she .would noli take the life that God had given her. Plunged in gloomy thoughts, she continued to work. .'All at once a step .was heard ascend ing the staircase which led to her door. She arose in soma' surprise and opened it, Jhihkiug be the landlady or one o‘f tbe servants. She was right. It was a servapt. ; ■ “Here’s a letter for you that the post boy just brought, Miss M.orris.” ’ “ A letter for me 1" repeated Hellen Morris, in surprise, taking it from tbe servant’s hand. “ Who dan have written to me ?” ; “May be it’s a valentine, Miss," said tho girl, laughing. “You know this is Valentine's day. More by token, I’ve got two this morn ing. One’s a karakter, (caricature,) so mistress calls it., Just look at it.” : Bridget displayed a highly embellished pic torial representation of a female hard at work nt the wash' tnb, the cast of beauty decidedly Hibernian. . •- ' , . Helen laughed absently, but did not open her letter while Bridget remained—a little to the disappointment of that curious damsel,. '. 1 Helen slowly opened the envelope. A bank note for ten dollars dropped from it to the floor. 'She eagerly read the few words'on the paper —“From St. Valentine I’! .*\ ; . “ Heaven be praised!” she saidj folding, her hands gratefully, .‘klhis sum will enable me to carry out the plarf which I bad inrvieW/* ; • Eighttyears passed' away. -• Eight years with their lights and shadows; ■ They brought with then, the merry voices of children—they ■ also brought with them nevrmade graves,—happi ness to some, and grief to others. Toward the last they brought the great com mercial crisis of ’57, when houses that sjeemed built upon a rock tottered all at once to; their fall. Do not many remember that,time all too well, when merchants, with anxious faces, rap from one to another to solicit help, and met only averted faces and distrustful looks ? 1 And how was it in that time : of universal failure wjth our friends—Stancy & Wilbur? Dp to 1857 they bad been doing an excellent business. They had gradually enlarged : the sphere of operations, and were rapidly growing rich when the crash.came. 1 ; ' ' They,immediately took in sail.; Both were prudent, and both'felt that this was the, time when this quality was urgently needed. By great efforts they had succeeded in keep ing up till the 14th of February, 1858. On that morning a note of two thousand dollars came' due. This was their last peril. That surmounted, they would be able to go bn with 'assured confidence. . . But, alas 1 this was tbs rock of which they had most apprehension. They had taxed their resources to the utmost. . They had called upon their friends, but their friends were employed in taking care of themselves, anil the selfish policy was the one required then, “ Look out for number one,” superseded the golden rule for the time being. As I have said, two thousand • dollars were due on the 14th' of February. •• How ranch have you got towards it ?” asked as Siancy came in at half-past eleven. I “ Three bundreid and seventy dollars,” was i the dispirited reply. • “Wasthat'all you could raise?” enquired his partner, taming pale. "All." ■ , ' . “ Are yon sure you thought of| everybody 7” “I have been -everywhere.j- I’m fagged to death,”, was the weary reply of Stancy, ,as he sank exhausted into a chair. “ Then .the crash must come,” said Wilbur with a, gloomy resignation. I *• I Suppose it must.” , i There was a silence. Neither, felt .inclined to say anything. For six months-'thoy had been struggling with the tide. They could see chore, but in sight of .it they .must go down. At this moment a note was brought in. by a boy. Tberewas.no postmark. Evidently he was a special messenger. It was opened at once by Mr. Wilbur,, to' whom it was directed. It contained these few words only:. , • “ If Mr. John Wilbur will call immediately | at No. —, Fifth .Avenue, he will learn some i thing to his gieat advantage.” ( John Wilbur .read it wjthsurpriee, and passed it to his partner. “ What does it mean do you think 1” . “ I do’nt know,” was tha. reply,." bu£ I ad* vise you to go at once.” “ It seems to be a feminine handwriting,” said Wilbur, thoughtfully. “ Yes, do’nt you know any 'lady on Fifth Avenue ?” “Well, it is worth noticing., ,We have met with so little to our advantage lately, that, it will be a refreshing variety,” In five, minutes John Wilbur jumped into a horse par,. and was dh his way to No,Fifth Avenue. . ■ . , .> , . -, Ha walked up to the-door of a magnifiarit brown stone house) and tang the bell: He wits instantly admitted, and shown into the drilling rpnm, suitably furnished. He did not have to wait long. Ari' elegantly dressed lady, scarcely thirty, entered, and bow ing, said, . ■; : . “ You do not remember me, Mr. Wilbur?” “No, madam," said be, in,perplexity. “We will waive that, then, and proceed to business. How has your house borne the crisis in which so many of our largo firms'havo cone down ?” -■ John Wilbur smiled bitterly, “ We have struggled successfully till to-day,” be answered. “ But the end has come. Unless we can raise a certain aura of money by two, we are ruined.” “ “ What sum will save yon ?” was the lady’s question. “ The note duo is two thsosand dollars. To wards this wo have but three hundred and sev enty-five." i “ Excuse me a moment," said his 1 hostess.— She left the room, but quickly returned. “ There,” said she, handing a smpil strip of paper to John Wilbur, “is my check for two thousand dollars. You can repay it nt your convenience. If yon should require' more, come to me again.” ‘ ; “ Madam, you have saved ns,” exclaimed Wilbur, springing to his feet in delight. “ What can have inspired in you such a benevolent in terest in our prosperity t” "" Do you remember, Mr Wilbur,” said the lady, “ a certain valentine " containing a ten dollar note, which yob sent a.yonng girl occu pying an attic room in your lodging house, eight years since ?” “I do, distinctly. J have often wondered what became of the young girl. I think her name was Helen Morris.” . ' " ‘ " ■ “ She stands before you,”- yras the quiet-re sponse.” “ You, Helen Morris!” exclaimed Wilbur, starting back in amazement. .“ You, surroun ded with luxury t" : ' "No wonder you are surprised.' Life has strange contrasts. The money which you sent pie seemed to come from God.. ,1 was on the brink of despair. With it I pat my wardrobe Jn repair, and made application for the post of companion to a wealthy lady.' T fortunately Obtained it. I had been with her hut two y ears, when a' gentleman in her circle, immensely wealthy, ofiered me his.hand; in.marriage. -F esteemed him. Ho.was satisfied with. that.. I married him. A few years since he. died, leav ing mo this, house and an immense, fortune. I have’never forgotten you, having accidentally learned that my timely succor came-from yon. I resolved, if fortune ever put it in my power, I would befriend yop as you. befriended me.— That time has come. I have paidphe.first dn | stalmehtof my debt. Helen Eustace remem bers the obligations of Helen Morris.” John Wilbur advanced arid respectfully took bet hand. “ Yon have nobly, repaid ■ tnc,”| be said, Will you also award m.e the privilege of occasionally calling upon you.?” . . | “ I shall be moat happy,” said Mrs. Eustace, cordiallv. John Wilbur took a hurried' leave, antf re turned-to his store ns the clock struck one.' He showed his delighted partner |Be ; ; check which be had just received. f‘ 1 has’nt time to-ex plain,” he said, “ this mustht once be cashed.” Two o’clock came, and the firm was saved’ — Saved from their last’ peril!' ‘Henceforth they met with nothing hut prosperous gales.- ;Wbat:mora? , ■ ;. . . 1 , i -.

We had scarcely got out of sight of onf camp, before overcoats, blankets, and almost every description of clothing, began to ha thrown away. The road was, in pieces, lite rally carpeted with the best of soldier’s cloth ing, principally from the jtnapsaeks of the tin-' | initiated, who had as yet to learn bow to rega-4 late their amount of baggage. ’■ [ After two days of good marching, we arrived I at Bladensburg, five miles from Washington; at 12 M., on the 25th. During the afternoon; ohr column, at least six miles long, marched through Washington, and was reviewed by tho ■ President, who, in company with Gan. Burn side and Gov. Curtin, stood on the balcony of Willard’s Hotel. As we passed, each company gave three rou sing cheers, to which “ Old Abe,” looking ra ther pale and careworn; but calm and serene as a priest, responded, by gracefully raising his hat. Oar reception at Washington was all that could have been desired, and reflects credit ott the citizens of our Capital. Water and provi sions were freely distributed to tho soldiers, so Jar as onr harried march through the city would permit; while the national flag flitted to the breeze from nearly every window. ■ ; Crossing the long bridge at four P. M,, and marching about four miles on “ sacred Boil/' •we pitched bur |onta hear Alexandria. Too much baa been said and written about -the fortifications of Washington; to need faN (her comments, and 1 wilt simply affirm that one’s confidence in tho security of our national capital is not at all diminished by a view of the chain of forte which crown the heights around iho city, from all of which floats onr flag, in proud defiance to all traitors. 1 ' Laying in camp on the 26th, at 10J A. M. on tho 27 th, having re furnished our haversacks; - and added to our load forty rounds of ammuni tion, we resumed our journey. After a march of fifteen miles ws arrived at, " and encamped near Fairfax; Court House, a fair specimen of Virginia desolation. The build ings are as few as they are dilapidated and rudely constructed, and principally occupied by so tiers'and venders of soldiers’ necessaries geuerally. Next morning found us again oil a’ur way westward. Eighteen miles of good marching brought us to Bristow Station, on tba 4 irgitfla Central railroad. After leaving tba Is rights near Alexandria, the face of the conn- 1 try through.which we passed was beautiful, level or gently undulating, and admirably adap ted tu agriculture. On qur first day’s march from Alexandria, an occasional symptom of im provement was visible, where partially success ful attempts to repair the ravages of war bad been made by proprietors of plantations. Bdt from Fairfax Court House to this [place, inclu ding the vicinity of Bull Run, (which stream .we forded at 1 P. 51..) and Manassas Junction; a vast'desolated plain, thickly dotted with de serted fortifications and the debris of the tom hie carnage which has there been enacted, and scarcely a dwelling or fence to indicate the mark of civilization, meets the eye of the trav eler. On arriving here we found the Pennsyl vania Reserve corps, guarding the railroad.— Since then they have been relieved, and gone towards the front of the Army of the Potomac. We are, temporarily at least, to fill their place. Trains, laden with soldiers and provisions for tho army, are constantly passing to and turning from the front; and as guerrillas are constantly prowling about these parts, seeking an opportunity to do mischief, our duty is far from trivial; and you may not be surprised if you hear of some of us being “gobbled” some of these fine mornings. Gen. Burnside com mands, the 9th corps in person; and with such "Generals as Parke, Willcox, Ferrero and Grit- tendon for division commanders, wa enter the field nnder favorable auspices of future useful ness id the coming campaign. We have one division of colored troops in the corps, under command of Brigadier General Ferrero. slaj. General Parke commands our division, the 2d. Our brigade, consisting of the 48th and 45th Pennsylvania, 30th and 35th Mass., SlstrW.T.; and 7th R. I. regiments, is commanded by the. able I>rig. Gen. Potter, formerly commands! of the 2pd division of this corps. Mature is once more smiling, under the influ-' ence of spring. Trees, and vegetation gene rally, are being clothed in their wonted loveli ness and beauty, as the green leaves, buds and blossoms spring into life, under the invigora ting effect of April showers. Grass is growing finely, the weather for the last few days has been quite cool and bracing; This evening, it is raihing quietly. - .
