LEIPHIC, Ohio. -
It was midnight in East Tennessee, not the
night of nature, but the middle of that dark and
detestable night during.which that persecuted re-=
gion was crushed under the Davis despotism. It
was political midnight in East Tennessee. It
was nearly twilight, when a young man and a
young girl sat at the open window of a fine man.
sion dear a pleasant little village—a village now"
almost swept out of existence by the Sirocco.
breath of war.
The girl was Mary, Basham, en orphan, who,
with her brother RichiLtd, had inherited the splen
did property of her parents, consisting mostly of
land and slaves. The greater part of the slaves
had been left to her brother; but the mansion be
longed to them 'in common, and she also owned
a sum in Louisville bank shares. Her brother
had taken up arms to protect his property, as he
said, and he probably thought, and was then a
Captain of Confederate guerillas. Mary BaSham
was considered a ."great 'catch," and it was cer
tainly strange, if- not improper, in Mrs. Grundy's
eyes, that she shOuld love that fair-haired young
man who sat by ker side ut the open window, for
Ernest Felder had no riches, except a fair share
of talent, and a true, honest heart. I e was only
a music teacher, and a German at that. Conse
quently he was worse than a Yankee, and a mar
raige with him would be as bad a mesalliance as
Mary Basham could make.•
"You are foolish, Ernest," said the girl, as she
plucked a flower from the vine and pulled it to
pieces. "What is the Union to you, that you are
so anxious to make yourselfa martyr for its sake
Besides, what can you do for the Union by hiding
out in the woods and mountains, and being bunt
ed down at last, and hung_ or shot, or imprisoned ?
So for, although you have been subject to annoy
ances, you have escaped harm; andrno*, if you
will simply submit to the neworder of things, all
till be well, and you will not be troubled."
"The Union is everything to me, Mary Bash
sahrthe young man, 'for it sheltered me
and its flag protected me when I came to this
country an exile; and under the Union I have en
joyed the fruit of any labor, and have been happy
arid contented. It would-be worse than ingrati
tude to desert it now, because I happen to be
among its enemies."
"Then you will leave-me," said the girl, as she
tore a flower - passionately. 1
"I must, Mary, unless you can be convinced
`that it is politic as well as right to seek peace and
safety on Union ground. But that is not to be
expected, and I do not wonder at you, being a
slave owner."
"0, bother the slaves," broke in the impetuous
girl. "They are more trouble than they are
worth, and always were. Dick Basham is wel.
come to all of them, if he wants them, except
Hessy and little Jim. I always felt as if I belong
to them more than' they belong to me, and the
feeling is irksome. But as for those guerilla bands
like that of Brother Dick's, they are a disgrace
to the country!, and ought not to be permitted.
Dick has said'he meant to Ming his gang of ruf
fians here same night, and give them a supper—
AS if I would stay in the house where these wreteh
es are holding their drunken orgies! I dared him
to do it. Humph ! he talks so much about the
blood of the Bashams—let him try to commit
such an outrage on common decency and he will
find that there is as much blood of the Basham'h
in my veins as in his. • I will let master officer
knOw, that I am not to be frightened by him."
The conversation was here interrupted by a
rough looking man, dre,ssed in brown homespun,
badly-tattered, and carrying a long rifle, upon his
shoulder, who came hurriedly over the lawn to
ward. the house. Hardly stopping to knock he
entered the front door, and pushed into the,room
where Mary Basham and Ernest Feldetwere
talking.
"Beg pardon, Miss," said he pulling a slouched
hat from au unkempt head, and resting the but
of his rifle upon the carpet;, "sorry to come is
.so sudden like, but I havn't time for perliteness.
Mr. Felder, the guerrillas has been huutia for
you in the village, and they ken trot. So there
ain't no time for tradia' horses, of you want to
git off?' '
"It has come sooner than I expected, Mary,"
said Ernest, as he started up, "I must bid you
farewell now, and perhaps forever:' If I can
reach. the Federal lines safely I will try to get
word to you." -
"No use talkie' about the" Federallines now,
Mr. Felder," said the rough looking man, " for
here's the guerrillas."
As he spoke, abonttwenty horsemen, dressed
in homespun imitation of the Confederate tuai
fdru, rode up the street, and halted in front of
the mansion. They were a villainous,setlito look
at, and were armed with all sorts of weapons,
from a hunting rifle to a flint-lock pistol. At
their head rode a young man in the guy uniform
of a Confederate officer, whose Beat in the saddle
was quite unsteady.
" They are'part of Dick Basham's gang " said
Mary, as she cooly surveyed them from the win
dow, "and he is drunk, gait., Phi be bound. It
is enough to destroy any man's respect for himself
; to associate with ouch wretches, and.l should
think nothing could induce a gentleman as Dick
Basham used to be, to do it."
"Come, Ben Sterling," said Felder, who bad
hastily seized his hat, " we can yet escape by the
back way." ' -
"No!" exclaimed the girl as her eye shot fire.
" You CFI' do no such a thing, forthey have al
ready. surrounded the house. Come now you
two, you are men, and )ou have arms, and if it
conies to the worst, you know how to sell your
lives dearly. But let me do my part first, for I
tell you that not a man of that gang shall cross
this threshold while Mary Basham lives! Mr.
Feldar, gave me one of your pistols."
Quite overborne by . the intrepidity and energy
of the high spirited girl, Ernest Felder almost
mechanically. handed her a pistol. As quick as
thought, she brought out from an adjoining - closet
large tin can filled with powder, carried it into
the hall, threw open the door, uud stood there,
with pistol in hand,
_proud and defiant, and beau
tifulin her pride and defiance.
Captain Basham, with four of his rough troop
ers, dismounted, and walked toward the house.
The path was 'hardly wide eumigh for the gallant
ca ptain, whom a commission as a lieutenant geM
eral could not have induced to walk in a straight
line. But, ho staggered. on, until he was brought
to a sudden pause by the ringing voice ui his sis
ter. '
"Halt there, Dick Bnobaiiii" 'exclaimed the
indignant girl. "'What do you want here . , with : that pack of dirty hounds at your hells? - 14Cd2C

"Of course She would," said Bashani, almostin

of mine, ifehe hadn't spunk enough for that.
Well, shemuat have her way thii time, end we

"We are going now, Mary," he continued, "but
you will be sorry for this, and if you have so far
forgotten your position and, your duty its to fait in
love withithat pianotmier, both he mid you shall
pay dearly for it". - .
"Never fear bat that I can take care of my po
sition and my -duty, Dick BaShatn," said the girl,
as the grierrillas mounted their horses - and rode
away.
Wher it Was fairly :MAI Felder bade Mary
Bonham goodbye, and went to the hills with Ben
Sterling. Mary sent her boy Jim with theca; to
bring word if they got off safely; dad When
the boy returned she sent him back &their tem
porary, hiding place, with two horses and a sup
ply of provisions.
' Erneit: Felder, after much- and and some;
narrow escapes, reached the Federal liwi in safe
ty. Finding a number Of his old friends hi the
cavalry force, some of them in higlicrank; WOW
ed that arm of the seriice; and as he hadathedengh
military ,education, and ,was as brave as a man
may well be, his promotion was quite rapid; io
that in the course of time he was known aalifajoi
Felder, mamas spoken of as a very promising
officer.
It was many long months after the midnight of
East Tennessee, before the gleam of Union bay
onets and the flash of Union sabres began to padre
a very pleasant sort of sunrise in that region. In
the advance - Of the grand array,'which at lastesr
ried relief and protection to that petatecated peel
ple was a fine squadron of cavalry, which
.ocoa
pied, after a slight resistance, the village -near
which Mary Basham lived. This squadron was
commanded by Major Ernest Felder.- , .
Dick Basham had been killed while making a
brave bat desperate: defence against the over
whelmbx force of the Federal!. when th 4 enter
ed the v lag.e; and bia sister, althotigkshe did not
love him as she formerly had, was indignant at
his death, and resolved to revengek if she weld'
find a shadow of excuse far .so doing. So With.
the "blood of the Basharas" boiling m her veins,
she seated herself at the window Where: she and
Ernest had sat so many months before.
More 'troops came pouring into_ the- village,
among them an infantry regiment, all tired "and
.hungry.! An army on the march , seldom treats
very . tenderly the country througliwifich it puma,
nor is discipline always preserved as it should be.
Some of these men were excited by liquor, and
others were foraging about as they. chose.
A number of. them - made, their appearanixt
Mary *wham's fine mansion, and commenced a
raid upon the pigs and
_poultry Mary uattea
them off, but they laughed at her i and Ordered beX
to open the door, threatening to creak it open if
she refesed. .She again warned them' off, and
leveled her gun at the foremostman. The
laugheitand advanced_ toward the door with
rail to burst it open. Mary Baahiun coolly sihted
her piece, but as she drewthe trigger a fine-look
ing fair-haired , officer rode up ba,front of the
orderly soldier just in time to receive the ballet iii
his shoulder. He fell from his horse; andbad only
strength enough to order the men to protect-that
house, and carry him in. It was Ernest Felder.
When Mary Basham saw who it was that she
had shot, she quite forgot the death otherbrother
in this new calamity, and her coolness and-firm
ness forsook her entirely. She did her beat, how- -
ever, to cure the wound She had inflicted, and the
presende of the wounded officer in thelotiae was
the best pretection she could have had. It was
two months before Ernest fully recovered, and
when he was able to return - to duty, Mary Bash=
felt that she was not forgetting her position in
marrying the brave and talented officer.
THE] MARRIED LIFE OF JOHN :WESLEY.—
When Wesley settled, he said,i•lt would be more
useful to marry." He married a widow, who,
through her jealousy, led him d life of wretched
ness and misery. At last his spirit was up, and
he wrbte to her , ---"Know sne_tind know yourielf.
