KITTY BRAGG'S. HUSBAND. "Mercy on its 1 What's happened to your father? Run out'quick Charlie, and open the gate. What is the matter, John ? You are as "bite as a sheet." "Kitty, I'm drafted I" In the place of falling to crying and moan ing as is the fashion with some of our patri otic women, Kitty Bragg laid her hand heav ily on her husband's shoulder: "John, I'm ashamed of you 1 if you were child, I would give you a good shaking.— Compose yourself: before Charles comes in : I would not have him think'his father was a cow-aid." "That is a bard word, Kitty." "I know it, John, but the case demands it. I would not have you lowered in our boy's sight. Now, John Bragg, let you and 1 talk sense; let us reason the matter together. You are a g ood ma, John—a good husband and a goodtather. You are a brave man, tn.), despite your trembling nerves. Who plunged into the river, just above the rapids, after poor Widow Carne's only son ? Who flung himself before old Jr. Morris's mad horses, and saved the old man's life? Why just John Bragg. I know what ails you, John; you are physically nervous at either You have spent your life pouring over books, and never tried to overcome the weakness. But you can overcome it, 'and_yo'h must. . - This "must" was said smilingly. "1 Mist, indeed, Kitty; for the die is cast, and there is no escape. 4 do not think it is want of courage; and I sm sure my heart glows with love for my country. You know ditty, I hare given fteely of my poor means; but whenever I think of going to battle, this strange tremor !Mail we, and I ain,re duced to the weakness of a child. I shall be d:s c rraced, I know. Don't you wish you had a braver husband, Kitty? I wouldn't blame you." But Kitty did not hear. She sat by the kitchen hearth leaninTher brown head . ou the jawb of the huge (Ad, fashioned chimney, Her thoughts at last formed themselves into words :---- "I verily believe, John, it is a thing you cannot help—it is your misfortune, not your fault. -Let us sell the plane ;—Joe Martin will give you five hundred dollars for it, and then you can get a substitute. We can rent the little red house on Murry's farm, and theo—" "Never Kitty I talk no more-4 would - in deed be a coward then. What 1 deprive my loved ones of a home to save my own bacon l' Never—never his not my life lam afraid Of, it is just the din of battle and the dread ful carnage. I will go dear. and you must help me 'to be brave, and do my duty. * * * * * * * The morning -came that the..

Broken 'e jaculations often escaped er lips--prayers for the safety and "strengthening" of lohn; ) till at last it became a habit. One Saturday she was baking and churning, and as usual her heart was full of" pm r for her hub band. "0 God, atrengthea_loor n, and let him not flinch in theAity of battle... Char lie, bring me some chips; this fire won't' burn." The neighbor standing on the. door step, smiled at the mingling or prayer and busi ness. "Have you heard the news, Kitty?" The fear that John had deserted or done something cowardly, took all her strength away. She sank down on a chair faintly: "What is it, Mary ?',! "Why, they had ea riot in camp; some of the men deserted and some . mutined, and John—b:ess me, Kitty, your milk's all billin' overl There,.l sot on the 14,3 k griddle." "What about John, Mary ?" "Why, John was the only one in his com pany, "that stood firm all through. He was as-brave as a lion, though some, of the half crazy fellows threatened to shoot him if he did not join them. He influenced our boys to be quiet and do their duty. He told them it would only be for a little while; that after a while they would have a better camp and better rations. You know some of our boys were pretty wild, Kitty, and they might 'a got in troub:e. My Joseph said ho shouldn't wonder if your John came home yet with gold straps on his shoulders- His belie so brave, and havin' so much influence over his men, pleased Capt. to pieces.— Ain't you glad, Kitty ?" But Kitty was crying for , very joy, That the first news of John should be good. "Jake said in his letter that he said to John after the fuss: "John, how could you be so brave and firm when there was so much eonfusin, and them fellows had their bay'nets plated ,at you ?' "Said your John said he : "Jacob,. I went there to do my duty, and I was determined to do it; and besides, how could a man go back from the right path, with such a woman as my Kitty at home praying fbr me ?'" This made Kitty's tears flow the &stir: but they were joyful teari. At some future time I will tell of' how John's courage stood the test of the battle field; but, knowing all the circumstances, I feel almoit sure Kitty Bragg will yet be proud oi' her husband. All ye young men who fear the draft, go and _et a wife like Kitty Bragg. Gave AU to His Country. An old gray headed man, upward of eigh ty years of age, came in from the East this morning by the train, on his way home to Michigan. He had a sad story to tell of the sorrows caused, by this unholy rebellion. The old gentleman, whose name is Crane, resid ing in Wayne county, Michigan, had three sons. Two of them joined one of the Michi gan regiments and have'done good service in several of the battles in Eastern Virginia. The third, not much more than a lad, was also anxious to join his brothers, but was for some time dissuaded from the step by his father and mother, the latter having - -been for years a confirmed invalid. At last the urgent entreaties of the lad prevailed, and but a short time since he passed Cleveland on the way to join the • regiment to which his brothers belonged. The bloody struggle at Antietam followed soon after,and in that battle the three broth ers fell fighting bravely. Information was sent home to. the bereaved parents,and the shock of the news was so great that the mother, enfeebled by long sickness, died in a few days. 'As soon as she was laid in the grave the old man set out for the battle field, with the hope of finding the Wiles of his three sons and bringing them house to rest beside that of their moth er. The search was long and thorough, but was unsuccessful. They had been probably buried on the - field with nothing to mark where they lay. Mr. Crane returns homt, bent down with years and with his great sorrow. Ile says _that he has now no relatives -left and . noth ing to live for. Yet he does reir.regret the sacrifices made on the altar of" his country, and only laments that be has not strength to shoulder his musket and go himself to fight against 'the wicked , rebellion.

The words struck our mind forcibly; nor will the honest simplicity with which they were uttered be soon effiteed,"But he is a gentleman ! What then ? Why these can- not be vices—a gentle man would not practice anything which is not proper is the conclu sion to which the unsophistical gitl 'at once arrived.

But let a feinale wander from the path of society—yes, let het even be suspected'of it, though she may be ever so charming, this grand salvo, "But she is a lady," will not be sufficient to covet her failing. Such a certificate will not sus tain her—she must be consigned to disgrace and infamy. In what consists the difference? What is that men can practice with-impunity that will not be tolerated in the 'other sex ? That there is a false standard of gentility set up in society, there can be no doubt. That good old maxim of Pope, that "worth makes the man," has gone out of vogue, at least With a large portion of society. Or else a different standard of worth liar been set up,. which is to measure a man's worth by the quality of the clothes he wears, or the grace with which he bows. Thus it is no uncommon thing to set men he can drink, gamble, swear, and commit ny other species of vice, and still be a "gen leo►an." if these men could be stripped of heir false plumage:lf their real character ould be exhibited in their naked deformity o the artless youth, there Weald be but lit le danger to be apprehended from them: ut the cloud under which their baseness is 1. • associates for youth, for it enables them first to gain confidence by their easy address, then allure to ruin.

About sit months b re the fall of Sumter, at the solicitation of an une , a merchant at Charleston S.C., I wont to reside 'with him and entered his connate , - room as junior clerk. I soon discover ed that my uncle's feelings were with those who were plotting treason and rebellion against the Government. .He seized every oppor tunity to draw MC into discussion on the topic that was uppermost in every mind, and vainly strove to withdraw me from my alle giance to the old flag. Oh, that I had pos sessed the mind to resist the power of a beautiful wernrao:s flattery and smiles ! I might now be dsring for the starry banner that waved over My childhood's happy head and fill an honored grave I My uncle pos sessed a daughter, an only child.

Time passed on, and the clouds began to thicken which were eventually to burst, and involve in civil war this once happy land. My beautiful . , .cousin began to take a more than cousinly interest in me, I,thought. Her whole aim seemed to be to pleage me. She lavished on me her sweetest smiles ; and * ap peared to prefer my society to that of either the gallants who worshipped at hor shrine. Of course I felt flattered by these attentions and—must I say it ?—the sweet, fair face of my Northern betrothed began to grow dim in my memory.

The horse lives twenty-five years, the ox fifteen or,:twenty, 'the lion about twenty; the hog ten or twelve the rabbit eight; thelltinea pig six or seven The numbers all bear iirciportion , to the time the animal takes`tri - groit its full size. But man of all animals ia'tme that seldom come; up to the average. He ought to livez hun dred years, according to his physiological law, for five times twenty are one hundred; but instead of that he scarcely reaches an average four times his grown period. The reason is obviogs.-.—man,is not only the most irregular and the moscintemperate, but the most laborious and - -hard worked of all ani teals.

A DEFINITION OF A YANKEE.—As the Yankees are creating no little excitement, in the commercial, political and military world I hope my definition of a real genuine mule Yankee, may not be considered-a miss. A real genuine Yankee is full of anima tion checked by moderation , guided by tic tennination, and supported 'by education. He has veneration corrected by toleration with a love of self approbation and emula tion, and when reduced to a state of' aggra vation, can assume the. moist profound dis simulation for the purpose of retaliation, al ways combined, if' pasaible, with speculation. A live Yankee, ittst..caughi, will be found not deficient in the following qualities He is self denying,' self • relying, always trying, and into everything prying. - He is a lover of riNty; propriety. notoriety, and temperance society. Ho is a dragging, gagging, bragging, stri ving, thriving, swopping. bugling, wrestling:, musical, qu nical, astronomical, political, philosophical, and comical sort of a charaCteN . whose manifest destiny is to spread tion to the remotest corners of the &Ob, with an eye always on the lookout for the main chance.
