"No better," replied Mr. 'Climate mildly,

"And how's Miss Clara," inquired an
other with deep pity in his looks.
"Very patient," responded the old man,

"Patient !" repeated several voices when

enough ; and Master Canute means a deal
when he says patient. Bless her young,
sweet face ! there's patience in it if ever
there was in mortal's."
Mr. Canute's patience was sorely taxed
by questioning at all hours ; ho was way

his way from his own cottage to the Hall,
but with unfailing good nature and promp

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, MAX 2011863:
"Most welcome," said Two Words, scan
ning the stranger, and pleased with his ap
pearauce, for youth and an agreeable
countenance are sure passports ; perhaps,
too, Mr. Canute discerned gentle breeding
in his guest, despite travel-soiled habila
ments, and a dub of habitual recklessness
in his air. At any rate, the welecime was
heartily given, and sta heartily responded to;
and when Mr. Canute,lo4loa dwelling in

"Well, well, suppose we say be is ; he's
not altogether a bad fellow, though be
is considered a bit reckless and wild. But
he has heard of Clara Harwell's beauty

"Why, then I'd pull ilown the rickety old

prince; I'd keep nothing but the old wine ;
I'd have lots .of prime fellows to stay with

paused, out of breath.
"And then ?" said Mr. Canute quietly.
"Why ,then I'd hunt and shoot, ;and
ride, and drink, and dance, and keep open
house, and enjoy life to the full—feasting
from year's end to year's end—the feast
of reason and the flow of soul, you know,
in old Ambermead.:"
"And then ?"
“Why, then I suppose that in time I
should grow old like other people, and
cease to care for all these things so much
as I did s when strength and youth were

"Why, then—"and the stranger hesita

young man's face, *hick flushed up as he

"0 Wang your 'and those But the
moon is well up, I see, so I'm off. Good

ther parley, ho started off on his walk over

his guest's retreating figure, till in the deep
shadows of the surrounding grove he was
lost, to view. In the 'plight, in the
darkness, in the valley, a 'n the hill side,
these words haunted thlt*ffarer, and he
kept repeating to him** "and then ?"

the point of marriage, and that hie young
bride would accompany him. 11l reports
fly quickly ; and it had been circulated
in former times that Mr Selby was wild
and extravagant, careless Of others, selfish
and profligate. Indeed, &Ir. Canute had
not contradicted sash reports. so it was
generally oriattooll, they were too true. .
and had a legal foiondatkm. With heavy
hearts, the inhabitants of Ambermead
eonimtineed their final preparations fur
the reception of the emtire'ead his bride ;
green unifies were erected, and wreaths of
Solara were hung on the spreading bra itch
tnt beneath which the travellers' road lay.
It was the season of roses and nightingales,
when Ambetmead was in its glory ; and I
never had the rich red roses bloomed so
profusely, - and never had the chorus of the
groves been more full and enchanting,
than on the summer evening when the
old and young of the hamlet, arrayed in
their holiday attire, waited to greet the
new corners.
Mr. Canute stood at his cottage door ;
the bridge just beyond, over which the
route conducted to the Hall through aye
nura of greenerie, was festooned with
roses ; and a band of maidens
. in white
lined the picturesque approach. The sun
was setting, when a carriage drove quickly
up, slackening its pace as it crossed the
bridge, and stopping at Mr. Canute's hum
ble gate. Two Words himself, barehead
ed, stepped forwards on seeing a lady a
light who in another moment threw her
self on his arms, exclaiming, "Our first
greeting must bp from you, dear, dear, Mr.
Canute ! I need not introduce Mr. Selhv
—he is known to you already." Speech.
less from astonishment and emotion, the
old man could only say, "Miss Clara !"
as he gazed from one to another, recogniz
ing in the gentleman the wayfaring guest
who had departed so abruptly on hie walk
ing over the moonlight hills, more than
three years previously. Seizing the
hand which Mr. Canute silently el.
tended, Mr. Selby' amid' with deep feel

have proved my sincerity; and Lady Pon

pronounced my reformation complete ere

of such significant import, that by insert

Clara gazed proudly and confidingly on
her husband; and the news of her arrival

crowd collected, whose joy and surprise
found vent in tears and blessings, to say
nothing of numerous asides, purporting
that Miss Clara never would have espoused

The prognostication proved correct ;
and the pathway strewn with bright anon
mer roses, over which Clara trod in bridal
pomp on her way to the ancestral home
where she was born, was indeed emblemat-
Jeal of the flowery path which marked her
fitters destiny.
The old Hall of Ambermead is still ex

surrounded by ancestral groves, still famed
for sheltering innumerable pigtail' gales

delicious fragrance. In the old church

WHAT Is A Kiss I--We are sure all our
lady subscribers will thank us fur twinging
to light the following curious definition of
a kiss. It is an extract from a German
loom Antler, written as far back as the year
1679, andtreats in important subject so
fully and satisfactorily, that every one of
taste must consider it a gem. "What is
kiss 1" A kiss is, as it were, a seal ex
pressing our sincere attachment ; the pledge
of our futorn union ; a dumb but at the same
time, audible language•of a living heart, a
. present whielt at die seine time that it is
given, is taken from us ; the impression of
an ardent attachment on an ivory coral
prom; the striking of two flints against
ono another; a crimson beldam for a love
wounded heart; a sweet bite of the lip; an
affectionate pinching of the mouth ; a deli.

dinner in Metropolitan Hall, last week, T.
E. Bond, Jr., gave the following toast :
"Woman—to man—the moon hanging
in beauty over the sea—her influence si
lent and unseen, sways the mighty tide
hither and thither at her will."
This accounts for the ebb as well as the
flow of affection. [Sunday Times.'

Gladlnform of Ancient Room
Gladiators at first were malehietore,
captives or slaves ; but, in the progress of
time; freeborn citizens espoused the pros
fession, being regularly trained tinder a
master called Lanolin. Men of high birth
also appear in the arena. The !swinger

g ladiators, as a necessary consequence, in

Italy. and defied the Ilootaii armlet'. The
gladiator who fought for hire wit. held in
more estimation than he who was said to
be ad haluni doneattaius—enudetnned to
the exhibition. 'rho former was matched
with his antagonist either:lir previous as.

were the. finest a n d most athletic men that
Italy and other couturier' prodoced.--
1 Dacia, Northern Gets!, and the gumming of
!Thrace. were famous for the 'gladiators,
which they sent to Rome ; and these men
wore fed. petted, end trained. just like the
lions and tigers who shared with them the!
honor of amusing the dweller, of the eter-!
nal city. Gladiators fought in divers
ways, and with a variety of weapons.—
Some were called "Secuttora," from the
privilege they had of pursuing their editor.'

is matched with a Retiartia ; the former
has a Afield and a sword, the latter a threeH
pluton lance, called a trident, a oda rem or
net. The lietiams endeavors by his net
to embarrass the tnoveniente of his adver
sary, and then dispatch him with his trident.
If, however, lie misses his cast, and his net
does not fall over his enemy's head, he in

!striving to kill him before his net is pre •
pared for a second trial. Sometime* they,
. fought in armor, with a helmet on their
! heads ; and st,other times were dressed
only in short tunics, confined around the
!waist by girdles 'of bronze. On all mem
lions the contest was [or life or death.—
We will suppose two gladiators engaged
! in the Collisenm. They are both trained
!to the prefetsiort, and the prize is a sum of
matey. They are armed with swords
and bucklers ; ferocity and hardihood have
taken the place of generous valor. It is,
no mock fight ; blood must flow, and one
!must inevitably perish, unless rescued by
the will of the emperor, or the mercy of
the people ; the last, unless under peculiar
circumstances. is rarely granted to die de

umphs ; die elder receives a wound, and
by dropping his arms declares himself
vanquished. , 'llte general sirout, elute
babe' 1" (lie has it !) subsides, and the
elder man raises his eyes, as customary, to
the benches shove. His late depends up
on :he will of the spectators ; if they ele

lie is to he spared ; if they depress them
lie dies! 'llse young gladiator stands with
his sword ready to do the bidding of

his doom. The unpropitious sign ii given
—the sword desemids, and the veteran
meets death with astonishing firmness.—
such were the cruel and bloody sports of
the Amphitheatre, and no diversions, per
haps, in which the Romans indulged, con
tributed is so great a degree to demoralize
the mass of the people. Yet the harbor

the period, sonic of whom were of opinion
that the gladiatorial combats went far to
keep up the inertial spirit, which. on the
extinction of the Republic, threatened fast
to decline. We cannot, however, but
think that the exhibitions, while they
shocked humanity. were even a disgrace
