Hardun's Resignation. BY I). P. SHILLADAlt. Tho General had been many years 1n commission, and it seemed to the anxious ones who wore waiting ci'hcr for his death or resignation, in order to odvancu, that neither of .thoso dchtrablo events would evor ta'ke 'place. Tho eld man was touchy and clung to lifo nt,d oflico with all tho tenacity ii a dog ito a bono, lie .was a .rare specimen of, the " gooJ old fellow," and not a voire would have been heard even among -the youngly ambllious.to move for his removal, llo was thus tolerated, although ho was a sad Uoek in tho way of .their official progress. 'i'.iieir patience at last become cii:iustcd, mid alter consulting together they agreed upon a riic by which the old General would bo driven into resignation. Having Lid their plans, ithcy prepared to o irry them into execution. Ono ol them meeting iho General tho next day, shook lnuds with hint very cor dially and told l.im.ho .had just lioird of his resignation, which ho hopi d was not true, and before tho General had a chance to reply, begged .tho old man to partake ol a suppor with a party of his fellow-officers tho next evenin.', as a paning tribute. Tho General was much surprised, and informed his frend that ho had not any intention of resigning, aud oould not think, fcr tho lifo of him, whero the report camo from. After a few remarks more on Loth sides thoy separated. Tho General plodded along by himself, thinking over what had boon said, APd mut cring. " What does it mean 1 Have I said anything about rcsigniug when I have had too much wine ou ? Perhaps I "avt" good fellows.

Jones told me," was tho reply; " X was in thero after you had gnno last night. Why can't you meet us to-morrow night at the tavern, General? Wo think of getting up a littlo supper, in honor of your resignation." " Thank you," said tho General, ' I'll j wink nrounJ tho buar(j vcry cxprossivo of 1)0 llicr0'" the belief which ho at that momont enter- Tho General turned away with an im- j tained that they wero all especially hura prcssion that ho had, tho night provious, bugged, and that the General wasn't.

( Tho poetry of dying in tho harness is very nice, but hang if I faae,y it Thoy blook bands and parted; the General in a whirl nf perplexity, and tho Colonel in a furor of fun at tho success of tho ruse. Tho nest night a splendid suppor was prepared and a large number of military guests invi ed to attend in the tallest foa thor. Tho General was thero in full regi mentals, bis faco was glowing wilh tho excitement of tho wholo affair, as tho vil- 'i , . .. , lag Pp0 sauj the- UCXt mnming " Was snlendidlv rrotton un. hanninr.ss wavml l.or illninlno.l soJii noi.

Tho Colonel, to quoto the same authority, " presided with tho usual dignity," and when tho cloth was removed ho called upon all to fill their glasses to respoud .to a eetitimcut which ho i to offer, whion he would preface by a I few remarks. j " Wo have," said he, " as our honored f guest this evening, our beloved General Hardun, whoso long service lias bcon fully i appreciated by us in common wilh tho wholo counaituity. Wo rejoice to meet with him t" t'1'3 occasion although our meeting is not one of unalloyed festivity. 'I hero is bc bitter ingredient in our eup : General tlardun h:is signified his inlontion of re signing ! 'I his announcement, 1 need not say, was as unexpected i s it was pain'ul.

" She had a favorite song a pensive, touching thing, supposed to bo addressed by a dying wife to a stern huiband, which she was fond of singing, when alone, though never on tho stage. Hut ouj night, wheu in the city of Now York, tho audience appl tudcd her rapturously, and tho cries of "encore" wero so loud, that she was forced to apprar again. Sho did not repeat the song, however, but after a moment's pause, began that sad, thavgh dclio ous strain.
