Was it„ tl su. prising that poor little
Barba w, reeeiv ur in her narrow sphere
no other political influences than the e,
should find herself at the age of seven
teen the most cage' of feminine sympa
tbizers with Seeession ? She burned to
emulate Mrs. Greenhow, Belle Boyd,
and otlfer enterprising Amazons who
early irr the war distinguished themselves
as spies or carriers for the Rebels. She
-almost blamed herself as recreant, because
she read with a shudder the account of
that Southern damsel who bade her lover
bring back, as the most precious gilt he
he could lay at, hen.het, a Yankee scalp.
She tried to persuade herself that those
little mementos, carved from Yankee
.bones, which were so fashionable at one
time among the elite of the " Seeesh"
aristocracy, would not shock her own
sensitive I eart.
Barbara's mother had done much to
encourage these sentiments in her daugh•
tor. A match between Barbara and
Colonel Permit of South Carolina was
one of tl at mother's pet p, ejects. Mrs.
Dinwiddie was of " ono of the fir,tl;ttni
lies of Virginia :" - in - which she wrii not
sing-rlar— 'She , had-been••brought to
regard the Ole Dominion as the y lawful

Mr. Culpepper Dinwiddie, who becamo
eventually a major in the Rebel, army.
What a afteirm it was for poor Mrs
Dinwiddie, that day that " Beast Butler"
role at a slow walk through the streets of
Baltimore, smokinc , his cigar, and sway
ing to and fro card( saly on his horse.
The poor lady was ready to cuff Mr. Din
widdie's ears, because that worthy citizen
sat down to his mutton and claret that
day at dinner as coolly as if nothing had
happened. Barbara wept and sang," My
Maryland" anti the Bonnie Blue Flag"
till she made herself hoarse. She then
glanced at a photograph of Colonel Pegram,
and thought how well he looked the con
quering hero

Mrs. Dinwiddie went into hysterics at
the news, but was sud,,enly restored, on
bearing Dinwiddie enter, and inquire in
the most cold-1,1.4) , kt] manner, Why
isn't dinner ready?" Falling upon that
monster in human shape, she crushed him
s • far into silence by her indignation,
that he was glad to make a meal of 11

in the still small voice. Well. 'What of

Bekhazzar at Richmond, look:ng out on

Mrs Dinwiddie ;and soon afterwards came
news of the capture of NeW Orleans, of
Vicksburg, of Port Hudson. And at lest
of Atlanta. " These horrid Yankees !"
she shreaked. " Why don't. we do some
thing, Dinwiddie?
,If one Southerner can
whip five Yankees, why, in the name cf
common sense, don't we do something ?
Speak, you stupid, provoking man !"
Yes, yes, what was 'it you asked ?"
meekly interrogated Dinwiddie, who was
calculating how much he had made in
the recent rise of the United States five.

" What was it? Oh, go to yqur to.

that'gives grace and dignity to this wretch
ed State were not on the verge of destruc

you'd have been a brigadier geneyal in
the Confederate army by this time."
Dinwiddie was nova man of words.—
Ho had a wholersome. horror of strong:
'minded wtnuen ; and to that class he dis
covered, too late for his peace, that-hiS
wife belonged. So be simply replied,
slightly, stuttering, as was his wont, ex
cept when excited,—
"If I had joined the army, Madam, I
have—have:-ve"—
. "I should have what?" •
"I should have been deprived your—

might have been a wicV—wid—widow."

Dinwiddie was brgining to get roused.

"Devilish well T lc now it," said the ex

Mrs. Dinwiddie began to grow livid
with exasperation. Iler husband had
touched her on a tender point.
"00 nu, Sir," said s; - e ; "T see your
drift. I hay. - ! suspected for some time
that you were

to desert your order; to prove false to
the South ; to co operate with mi•creant

marching to the support of Government!"
"You yourself sa i d at, the time, N-r.
Pinwiddie, that it served them rig.ht."
Dinwlddie winced, for this was a blow
square on his forehead between hie two
eyes. Ile paused, and then, without
knowinY it, translated the word , . of a
Latin moralist, and replied,—
"Times change, and we chan! , , , with

"Von will find, sir, tha,t. a Culpepper
does lit change," said Madam ; and, with
a gesture ol queenly scorn, she swept with
expansive, crinoline out of the down.
“So the ice is broken at last,' tout
tered Dinwiddie. "I would n't have be
lieved I could have faced her so well
Alter all, I'm not -are that the military
is not my true sphere."
Ilis soliloquy was interrupted by the
ring of nio,kets on the sidewalk in front
of his hou , e, and he jumped with a ner
vous horror. Look in ! , iron the window,
h e saw a file o f , oldiers, and an officer in
United statrs uniform, with one arm in
a sling, and the hand of . the other hold
ing a drawn sword. Ile was a pale. but
handsome youth, and looked up as if to
read the !lathe on the door. Then. fol
lowed by a sergeant, he aseei.W d the steps
and rang the bell.
Xliiit the Dense is all this for, I won
der?'' exclaimed I hnwiddie ; and in his
euriot.ity he opened the outside dour, an
ticipating the negto footman, Nets, who
exchanged a glance of ifitelligence with
the military man.
"I am Captain Penrose, Sir," said the
fficer; "this is Sergeant :llaeFuse; you,
I believe, bear the name on the door : plate
belore us."
Dinwiddie bowed an affirmative.
•'I have orders, Sir,' resumed the of
ficer, "to search your house ; and I will
thank you to give me the opportunity
with as little delay as possible, and with
out communicating with any member of
your family."
"But, Captain, does anybody doubt my
loytilty ?"
"No one, Siro.hat I am aware of," re
plied the Captain, with a suavity that re
as-ured and captivated Dinwiddie. "We
haven't the slightest doubt, Sir. of your
thoroughly loyal and homirable conduct
and intentions; but, Sir, there is, never
theless, a Rebel mail in your house at
this moment.- I'll thank you to conduct
us quietly to the little battling-room com
municating with your wife's apartment on
the second story."
Dinwilldie saw through it all. He
said not a word, but led the way up stairs.
"We shall4have to puss through Mad
am's room to get at the place," he re
marked ; "for the door is locked on the
inside."
- "Yee; but the key is out; and I haVe
a duplicate," replied 'the. officer. ''We
will enter by the door that , opens on this
passage way. I will just give a gentle
knock, to learn whether any one is in the
bathing•rpoin."
He knocked, and there was no reply
"1 think we may, venture in," he said
He unlocked the door, and they 'en
tered,—Captain Penrose, :Sergeant Mac-
Fuse, Dinwiddie, and Nero.. The Cap
tain pointed to - wthest of drawers let into
the wall, and said,
"Now, Sir, if you will open that, lowest
drawer, I think you will find what .I am
incsearoh of:"
Ditiwiddie' [ 6pened the .drawer, and a
strthig smell of• tobaeco, in' which sdme
furs were imeked, made him Sneeze; but
:the Captain proind to be oorreot ° in hie
surmise. ' Nero displayed his ivory in a
broad grin, and Dinwiddia lifted a small,
but well-stuffed leather mail-bag.
At that moment the door leading into
Mrs. Dinwiddie's apartment opened, and
that lady, followed by Barbara, made her
appearance. Nero's grin was Lt once
transformed into 'a look of intense solem
nity, and the whites of his eyes were lift
ed in sympathetic amazement.
Madam's first effort was to snatch the
mail-bag from her husband , but he hand
ed it to Sergeant 31acFuse, who, receiv
ing it, shouldered his musket with mili
tary formality.
'But this is an outrage, Sir !" ex
claimed Nrs. Binwiddie, finding words at
length for her rage.

elderly lady, quivering in every litrib like

It was strange that Captain Pe4se ,
did not hear the exclawat'on, loudand
emphatic as it was ; but he simply bowled
and quitted the rump, followed by Din

No sooner had the Military men quit
ted the house than the dinner-bell. rang,
Madam refused to wake her appearance.
Barbara came down and presided. Buys
in the street were crying the news of
Sherman's capture ol Savannah.
"Good for Sherman ! said Dinwiddie.
"Paw devlish glad of it."
Little Barbara looked up with conster
nation. She loved her father, but never

She,made no reply to her father's re

hers an amount of thinking that took ,
away all.ther,: appetite fur the ,desert.—
Mrs. Dinwiddie entered, before the table
was cleared'. Then there was a ring of
\ the door bell. It was the postman. Nero
brought in a letter. Dinwiddiolookedat
the-address. • '

Culpepper estate. She bad taken a lively
interest in the course of Maryland to
wards freedom ; and when at length that
noble Commonwealth stripped off the last
fetter from her limbs, and trampled it
under her feet, Anjy was loudest among
the colored people with her Hallelujahs.
She was no longer a slave, thank the
Lord ! There was a future of justice, of
sdf respect, of freedom rie,w dawning
upon her abused race.
As Anjy could not read, Barbara had
been duly authorized to open all her let
ters. Sh 2 did so on this occasion, read,
turned pa!e, and exclaimed,—
" Horrible ! Oh, the villain !"
" What's the matter?" asked her
father.
The letter was from his son, Culpep
per, to the old family servant, and was in
h se words :
"DEAn Aluv,-4 have very unpleas
ant news to tell you. Your son Tony has
been shut by his toaster, Calonel Pegraw,
for retusing to fight against the Yankees,
and trying to run away. Tony was much
to blame. He had been a good boy till
some cenfluinded Abolitionists put it into
his head that the Yankee seem were
fighting the battles of the black man ;
when, as you well know, Anjy, the true
friends of the black man Are those who
mean to keep hint in that state of slavery
fur which the Lord plainly intended him.
But Tony got this foolish notion of the
Abolitionists into his head, and one day
frankly told the Colonel that -he wouldn't
lire a gun at the Yankees to save his own
lift; whyrr upon the Colonel very proper
ly had him whipped, and pretty badly too.
The next day Tony was-caught trying to
make his escape int.; the Yankee lines.
He was brought before the Colonel. who
told him, that, for your suite, Anjy, he
would forgive hitn. if he wmild swear on
the Bible not to do so again., Tony re
fused to swear this, began to Env() about
his rights, and finally declared that he
was free, first under God's law, next
under the laws of the Ignited States, and
finally under the laws ofMaryland.—
There were other• ; egroes, slaves of offi
cers, near by, listening to all this wicked
stuff, and Pegram felt the importance of
making an example , so he drew his re
volver and shot Tony Om ugh the heart..
How could he help it, Anjy You must
n't blame the Colonel. We all felt he
couldn't have done 4 otherwibe. I ha NV
Tony the minute after hr, was shot He
died easy. I emptied his pockets. There
was nothing in them but a photograph of
you. Anjy, a printed proclamation by the
wretched Yankee tyrant, Abe Lincoln,
and a handkerchief printed as an Amer
iean flag. I'm very sorry at this affair ;
but you•utu>t seek comfort in religioti,
and pray that your poor deluded boy may
be forgiven for his unfaithfulness and bad
conduct.. Affectionately,
This letter was rend aloud,—not by
Rat bara, nor by her father, but by Mrs.
Itiuwiddie, who exclaimed, as she finished
IBM
"Here's the result of your Yankee
teaehings, 'Dinwhidie ! lhere wasn't
a better boy than Tony in all Maryland,
till the Abolitionists got hold of him
Pegraua served him just right,—just as
would have done."
Dinwiddie rose, pale, trembling, and
all his features convulsed. Barbara cov
ered her lace with her hands and gfoaned.
Never before had she seen such an ex
pression on her father's face Turning
to his wife, he said in a husky voice,
which with a great effort he seemed to
make audible—
" Pegram was a murderer; and you,
Madatin, if you commend his act, have in
you the stuff out of which murderers are
made. Now hear me,— you and Bar

say I mean."
Denwiddie waited a • full minute for
some reply-to this unparalleled outburst i.
and then left the room with an air of
dignity which neither Barbara nor bet
mother-had ever 'witnessed before.
The mother first broke silence. She
began with an hysterical laugh, and then
If t he thinks to involve /no, in .his
cowardly treason to the South, bell find

" I shall go to the Bee no more, moth

given my promise to 'keep the house till
I have permission to quit it"
" And do you venture to set your
father's orders above mine, you presum
ing girl ? Are you, too, going to desert
the Southern cause ?"
Barbara's reply was interrupted by the
entrance of old A njy. The scene which
had just transpired had been faithfully
transferred to the memory of the listen
ing and observant Nero, who had com
municated it all to the party chiefly. in•
Wrested.
Mrs. Didwiddie quailed a little as she
met A njy s glarice; but Barbara rose and
threw her arms about the faithful old
creature's neck, and, bursting into tears,
exclaimed,—
" ph, A njy ! 't was the act of a devil !
I hate him for it !"
" Mind what you say, Barbara!" said
Mrs. Dinwiddie.
Barbara withdrew her arms, and, fold
tng them, looked her mother straight in
the face, and said,—
" My father did not speak too harshly
of it. "F'was a foul and cowardly mur
der."
"Oh !" cried Mrs. Dinwiddie, again
threatening a relapse into hysterics.
My dear, dear Anjy, ' said Barbara
her tears flowing afresh, •• come up to
my room, and I will read you your let
ter."
With a face tearless and inflexible,
A n . iy allowed herself to be led out of the
dining-hall, and up stairs into Barbara's
apartment. The two stayed there a cou

from them to come forth.

TUE NUMBER OF LANGUAGES.—The
least learned are aware that there are
many languages in "o'2 world, but the
actual number is probably beyond the
.dreams of ordinary people. The geo
grapher, Babi, enumerated eight hun
dred and sixty, which are entitled to be
considered as distinct languages, and five
thousand which may be regarded as dia
lects. Adelung, another modern writer
On this subject, reckons up three thou.
sand and sixty-four languages and dia
lects existing, and which have existed.
Even after we have allowed either of
these as the number of languages, we
must acknowledge the existence of almost
infinite minor' diversities, for almost eve
ry province has a tongue more or less
peculiar, and this we may well believe
to be the case throughout the world at
large. It is said that there are little
islands, lying close together in the South
Sea, the inhabitants of which do not un
derstand each other. Of the eight hun
dred and sixty distinct languages enu
merated by Babi, fifty-three belong to
Europe, one hundred and fourteen to Af
rica, one hundred and twenty-three to
Asia, Blur hundred and seventeen to
America, one hundred and seventeen to
Oceanica—by which term distinguishes
the vast. number of islands stretchin! , .
between I lindostan and South America.
ORIGIN GOD IlYMEN.—Dall
chet, the French poet, tells us that Hy
men was a young man of Athens, who,
although obscurdly born, was extremely
handsome. Falling in love with a lady
of rank, he disguised himself in female
attire, the better to carry on his amour;
and, as he was one day on the seashore
celebrating the Elcusinian rites with his
mistress and her female companions, a
gang of pirates came upon them by sur
prise and carried them off to a distant
land, where the pirates got drunk for joy
and fell asleep. Hymeii then armed the
virgins, and dispatched the sleeping pi.
rates ; when, leaving the women upon
the island, he sped to Athens, told his
adventure, and demanded his beloved in
marriage as her ransom. His request was
granted; and so fortunate was the mar
riage, that the name of Hymen was ever
after invoked on all future nuptials; and,
in progress of time, the Greeks enrolled
him among their gods.
• ABSINTHE DRINKERS.--The use Of
absinthe, in France, is rapidly assuming
the magnificent proportions of a notional
vice. The literary and artistic vocational
seem the principal sufferers from it—the

A WONDERFUL DREAM.
Everybodylias heard wonderfuY stories
of dreams j that came true; resulting in
marvelous discoveries of wealth, revela
tions of crime,. and mrteritnis informa
tion, of various4orts.. .-Skeptical people
are at liberty to,belidie;'of ccuree, what
they pleake, but the folloWing story comes
to us well authenticated, and the finale is,
we think, quite original. The dreamer
was a gentleman residing in one of arrow
of houses in a street in a neighboring city.
To mention names might be unpleasant.
He dreamed one night that he had dis
covered at his house a hidden closet,
which was stored with sifver and other
valuable articles, sufficient to set him up
in the world as a man of wealth. In the
morning he told his wife, who, like a sen
sible woman,, asked what he had eaten
before he went to bed, and warned him
of the ill effects of late suppers.
N. 43
The next night he wentto bed as usual,
and lo the same dream was repeated.
To doubt any longer would be to fly in
the face of fortune that was opening the
portals of wealth to the happy dreamer.
Re resolved upon an exploration. Mod
ern•built houses, put up in rows for spec
ulation, to sell or rent, do not present any
architectural intricacies where a oloset
might be stowed away unperceived; the
lines are rectangular, and every inch of
space saved. The hiddefi closet with the
treasure must be somewhere in the walls.
With a hammer the dreamer went about
the house, sounding the walls, for indi
cations of the concealed resceptacle. At
last his search was rewarded. A blow
struck on the wall brought forth a met
allic jingle in response. He struck again,
and the same musical echo came forth.
Bewildering visions of wealth arose be
fore the delighted searcher. lie called
his wife to behold the realization of his
dream. Two or three vigorous blows
brought down the plaster from the wall,
broke through the lath, and revealed an
aperature, through which Mr.
thrust his hand, and brought. forth a
handfull of spoons and forks ! Mrs.
now suggested that they had bet
ter proceed cautiously, and keep their
good fortune quiet. The hole in the wall
was covered up, and the happy couple' ,
retired to discuss their fortune.' In a few
minutes they were startled by a violent
ring at the front doorbell. Mr.
responded to the summons, and found
on the step his next door neighbor in a
state of intense excitement.
•Are you the proprietor of this house?'
said the visitor.
' I am.' said Mr
Then, Sir, allow me to tell you that
there is a robber in your house, who has
been committing burglary on my pro
mises, by breaking through your wall in
to a closet, and stealing my silver ware.'
Mr. 's countenance underwent
an extraordinary change of expression.
as the truth flashed upon him. He ran
up stairs to take a closer inspection of
his secret Closet, when the true state of
the case was soon disclosed The houses
were separated by a partition wall, and
Mr
breaking into his neighbor's premises, and
had "strue!• silver" in the store-room next
door ! A full explanation had to be made
to satisfy the injured neighbor. The
spoons were restored, the wall repaired,
and the strictest secrecy enjoined and
promised, but the joke was too good to
keep, and we publish it as a caution to
people addicted to dreaming.
THE - DELIMITS OF TRAVEL IN ENG
LAND.—The English still lock the doors
of their passenger railway cars, and pro
vide no means of communication from
them for the passengers, and still the Lon
don papers chronicle incidents of robbery
and outrage on the road the frequncy of
which has made them monotonous; The
latest case is that of a gentleman who
was Farruted by a fellow-passenger while
the trairr was at full speed, thelawn down
and robbedlof his watch and purse.—The
robber escaped, and the victim was left
alone to ponder over his loss till the end
of the journey was reached. The " na
tional love of seclusion," as the English
phrase it, is too strong to be shaken by
such trifling discomfort as this.
SOARCE ARTICLES.—A parson who
praetices all lw professes.
A beauty who-never fei3ls proud when
she dresses.
A lawyer whose honesty pleads for his
client
A beggar whose courage is always defi

Philosophy publishing" money to lend ;
A skillful physician regardldiref , self :
A staunch politician forgetful bf pelf;
A sour old bachelor neatly arrayed ;
And last— thought not least --aoheorful
