THE LOST LETTER.
lo'-t the precious letter
That the mail brought yt
Lo-t it walking through the meadow
" \VJiurc the clovers are in white. ' *
Anrl if you hionld chance to find it
Hut you would not dream it mine ;
For my mime is not upon it ,
Only "Dcuioht" in each line.

"Who would dream the wild wood blossom :
Only wuku to woo my fcut ?
That he fancied threads of golden
In my brown hair's warmest glow.
You might think his eves were dazzled
JJy a dart Irom Cupid's bow.
When lie rays my eyes have told him
He is dearest of all men.
You would think my cheeks would crimson
So they'd never pale again.
But my name is not upon it ,
Only "Dearest" in each line ;
And if you should read the lettci
You would never dream it mine.
Cora A. Matron , in the Current.
"I PROMISE. "
"Viva ! Viva ! I must go ! "
"You shall not ! You shall not ! You
oelong to me ! ' *
The beautiful little creature stamp
ed her tiny foot on the turf , as she
spoke : her eyes flamed with anger , a
flush shot up into her dark-cheek.
"I belonged to my country before ]
ever saw you , Viva , " answered Tom
Creighton , in a sad but steady tone.
"You shall not go though ! -Ah ! dear ,
dear , darling Tom , can you leave your
little lassie to die of fear ? Don't you
love me ? "
She gathered the tall fellow's hands
close to her heart , and clasped them
there with strange , passionate
strength. Tom stooped and lifted her
to his bosom'as if she had been a tiny
child.
' I coultl not love theo , dear , so much
Loved I not honor more , "
he said , slowly , bending his head to
her ear. A splendid head it was ,
crowned with close curls soon to fall
before the shears- , and its symmetry
to be hidden by a forage cap ; and the
face did not belie the head ; its strong ,
regular features , its cleft chin , and
resolute lips , ail "gave the word as
surance of a man , " while the expres
sive gray eyes revealed humor , tender
ness , pathos , passion , and a possible
Hash of rage.
"Don't talk to me about hone I"
sobbed Viva , hiding her face on his
shoulder. _ "I shall die if you go away
from me ! I can't I can't bear it ! "
There was no heroism about Genevieve -
vieve L'Estrange ; her French descent
had given her inexpressible charms of
aspect and manner ; she was as slight
as a girl of ten years , and no higher
than her lover's shoulder , but the
contours of her exquisite figure showed
the roundness and grace of woman
hood , and her piquant , glowing face
was alight with all the fire of an in
tense feminine nature. There was
nothing childish in the red , mobile lips ,
the delicate , irregular features , the
brilliant dark eyes that sparkled or
melted according to her mood , the
abundant , silky black hair that fell to
lier feet when it escaped from the heavy
coils that seemed too weighty for the
lovely little head they covered.
She was spoiled from her babyhood ,
being the only child of wealthy paren ts ;
not a wish had the wilful creature ever
been denied ; never had she wanted a
luxury , or failed to indulge a-caprice ;
indeed , it was a caprice that this very
Summer had taken her to the White
Mountains before the great hotels were
opened , to a small house near the vil
lage of Franconia. She wanted to see
the Spring blossoms of the North , to
gather the dawn pink arbutus , she had
so often bought in Broadway , from its
lurking-places under the pine needles
of the forest ; she had heard of "the
shy Liniuca , " the white wintergreen ,
And many another early flower that
lades before fashion comes to ex
plore its haunts , from a school
.friend who lived in northern New
Hampshire ; and so , weary of
the early terrors of the great war
was looming blackly in the distance ,
'tired from the two years in Europe
tthat followed her school days , and
the long winter of dissipation in the
city , she had intimated to her obedient
parents her desire to visit Franconia ;
and they took her to the Pine Hill
House accordingly.
Here she met Tom Creighton ; his
Father and mother lived on a farm
near by , and the handsome young
lawyer from New York had come up
to say good-by to them ; for he had
enlisted in a volunteer regiment and
daily expected orders to the front.
Viva had met him often in society ,
and the two opposite natures , in a
measure counterparts , had been mu
tually attracted. Tom Creighton was
a typical New Enqlander , strong ob
stinate , enduring with a rigid sense of
duty as his dominant trait. He did
not'entirely approve of the war , for
he was naturally conservative ; but he
'
considered that'he ought to go and go
he would. Jtyas a thoroimh surprise
to both the pair , this meeting among
the mountains ; and it was the last
thing Tom Creiehton intended , to iall
in loVe with 3Iiss L'Estrange , much
less to let her know it , but he could
not help himself ; with characteristic
impetuosity she lo t her heart in
these solitudes , where all the real
character of The young man showed
itself , no longer overlaid by the cus
toms of society. She saw how true ,
how tender , how brave he was ; how
superior to the society men who hr.d
bored her in New York. She had in
deed distinguished him there from a
certain superiority of aspect , but now
she knew and loved him , and showed
it with such naive simplicity that
Tom , for all his good resolutions ,
broke down and fell at her feet. Only
& day had their engagement been made
known when the summons Tom ex
pected came. Viva was almost fran
tic. It was the first time in her life
that her will had been useless ; but now
it beat against a rock.
Tired with the vain struggle , rcpeat-
-ed till Tom's heart ached to its depths ,
she at length recognized that
"trongth of character must dominate
hers ; and after a long , wild Hood o
tears and a convulsion of sobs , &ht
said at last :
"Jf you will go if'you imisl prom
isc me to live , to conic back ! "
"I promise to come back ir I do live
Viva. How can J say I will live ? That
i.s the chance of war and the will o
God. "
"Promise , promise ! " she shrieked
'You must promise me to live ! Ishal
die here , right in your arms , unless
you do ! "
Her pallid face , her streaming eyes
the sobs that seemed to rend her slight
shape , the piteous curve of her ret'
lips , took him by storm. The lovely
unreasoning , willful creature , torn bj
a passion of love and grief all for him
shook his strong soiil to its centre
What man ever resisted such over
whelming passion , or thought it fool
ish when he was its object ? Tom
Creighton's soul blazed in his eyes as
he held that tiny figure closer to his
breast.
"I promise , " he said.
So he went and she stayed. The
fortunes of war befell him ; but in
battle he seemed to dodge the bullets
that rained upon him , manfully as he
fought , for ho felt Viva's imploring
eyes upon him. "Crieghton's luck"
was the jest of the decimated regi
ment ; but no man charged him with
cowardice. The tin-ill and splendor of
this new life had swept off his con
servatism ; the war justified itself by
its dash and valor. He rejoiced in the
clangor of trumpets , the roar of its
guns , the rush of its charges ; and
when the miasma of the marshes
where he lay encamped defied and
seared his flesh with fever , when he
lay half-conscious for many a week in
the hospital , the will to live , the in
tent to keep his word to Viva
saved him. The nurses wondered to
hear but two words in the low mut
ter of his delirium : "I promise I
promise ! " but those words were his
talisman.
Once in the field he became a wonder
of alertness ; hairbreadth escapes
seemed to be his forte. One day ,
when the battalion were entrenching
themselves , and the commanding
general , weary with the inarch , had
dismounted and thrown himself under
a tree fora moment's rest , Col. Creigh
ton for he had been promoted dash
ed up on his black mare and saluted.
"General , " he said , ' 'shall I ride out
bevond the lines and reconnoitre the
lay of the land ? "
"Do so. " said Gen. B. , springing up ;
"and I will go with you. "
As they both trotted past the in-
trenchments a colonel in command
called out to them :
"The evening is not far off. Do not
risk your life , general. "
The general smiled and looked at
Creighton. who laughed ; and on they
went. Soon the pickets were passed ,
but no enemy was sighted , and , led
on by the beauty of the way , as a de
sire to grasp the situation , they trot
ted fast down a wood road , turned a
short corner , and behold ! twenty or
thirty men , a picket guard , or , rather ,
a reconnaissance of the foe. Quicker
Lhan a lightning Hash , no pause to
think , no word said , except that "I
promise , " branded on his inward ear ,
Jreighton's sabre Hashed from its
sheath ; and whirling it round his
head , he looked over his shoulder and
shouted. "Forward ! Charge ! "
And putting spurs to his horse flew
brward , the general instantly second-
ng his ruse and close beside him ,
rushed upon the startled enemy , who
led like sheep. Once out of sight the
; wo men turned and ran their horses
to the lines ; but that swift manoeuvre
saved a general to the army and a
over to Viva.
So it was in the prison where scores
of men died of untold agonies ; for in
: hose dreadful depths Tom Criegton
ived. When his heart and ilesh failed
ic seemed to see Viva's upturned ,
voful face , and he said to himself ,
'I promise , " with fresh strength each
; ime ; for he had learned faith in him
self. At last the war was over ; but
.horoughly wedded to a soldier's life ,
ind because a proverb among men for
courage and quick resource , he was
transterred to the ranks of the regular
u-my , given a furlong of six months ,
and flew at once to Viva.
Poor Viva ! the war had spared her
Tom , but both her parents had died
luring his absence , and she was
quite alone. To describe their meet-
ng would be sacrilege ; it was
even as the meeting of those who
irise together at the rising of the dead
i ml look at the dawning of that
leaven which they shall spend to-geth-
er. Naturally Tom desired to hasten
their marriage , and Viva did not re
use ; for except a salaried chaperon ,
she was quite alone in that loneliest
of positions , the inmate of a fashion
able boarding-house. She did not
care to waste her time or her strengthen
on an elaborate trousseau , she left ail
hat to Mrs. Merwin ; it seemed to her
; hat she could not exist out of Tom's
iresence. Yet one day she could not
iee him ; she was ill ; she only saw the
lector , an old man , who had watched
icr from childhood.
"Viva , " he said to her , as he drew
on his gloves after an hour at her
jedside , and as the inu'be hurriedly
ailed in , had left the room on some
leedful errand.
"Viva , you must tell Capt. Creigh
ton. "
"I will not ! " she answered , angrily.
"But you must ! "
"I never will ! After all these wretch
ed years of waiting , do you think I
vill throw my life"away , Dr. Sands ? "
"Jf you do not , I shall. "
"You won't ! you can't ! "
"But I shall , it is my duty. If you do
lot tell him before Saturday this is
Tuesday J shall. "
The doctor's voice was stern , but
he nurse came in ; he said no more.
Next day came Tom with startling
icws ; he was ordered at once to Fort
Stilling , the garrison there i.-as needed
n a struggle with the Indians ; fresh
; roops must man the fort ; there was
lot a day to spare.
' Viva , will you go with me"
She sprang up from the sofa where
she lay , pale and sweet , after her way
of escape from Dr. Sands.
"Yes iiuli'er1 , I will. You shall not
leave me n nin , Tom ! "
So the next morning early , like a
pair of eloping lovers , they were mar
ried in the near church and took the
inoniiiu ; tram for the far West ; on
and on the rushing wheels bore them
day after day they endured tiie se
paration of thecrowd , till ; .t last they
arrived at St. George one Winter night
in January. The snow was deep , but
Tom must report as soon as possible ,
and Viva would not let him go alone.
"It is cold " said.
too , dearest , he .
"Not with you Tom. "
"Forty below zero , Viva ! "
"Jf you can live in it I can. ' ]
promise' Tom , "
lie could not refuse her after that
word with all its memories. Rolled
in furs , veils , scarfs , with hot bricks at
her feet , they set out on their
twenty-mile journey. Warned not
to speak , for the air was
not fit for their lungs to admit in.
all its chill , silently they sped along
The glittering fields of sparkling snow ,
on which the moon made a long wake
of glory , the black shadows , the creak
of their swift runners , the snorting of
the horses , whose nostrils were hung
with icicles , all added a strange terror
to the drive , a drive- that seemed end
less , but at last it was over.
"Come ! " said Tom , holding out his
arms as the driver drew up before the
officers' quarters , where the light of a
fire blazed through the deep frosted
windows , but Viva neither spoke nor
moved.
Mad with terror , Tom lifted her
from the sleigh and rushed into the
door , making his way by instinct to
the lire. Viva stirred not an atom.
Hasty hands unrobed her , kind hands
laid her on the sofa. Her face was set
and white , her lips parted , her eyes
glazed. The post-surgeon hurried in ,
he lifted one hand , it fell back , he put
a finger on her pulse. "My God ! she
is dead ! " he said , with a look o !
dreadful pity.
Tom dropped beside her.
Was it a year ? Was it a lifetime ?
Was he in heaven wlien he awoke out
of that ?
She was there , warm , sweet , rosy.
"You made me promise , Tom ; I did
not die. "
Tom turned on his face and wept
like a very child ; his heaven had come
on earth.
Post-surgeons do not know every
thing any more than any other man.
The fact was that Viva had developed
in the last two years a tendency to
catalepsy the result of an overworn
and overexcited nervous system ; and
when Dr. Sands told her she must tell
Tom about it , she had just come out
of a serious attack wherein she had
lain for hours as one dead ; but she
would not tell him , having an idle fear
that Tom might cease to love her.
The long journey and the cold drive
had broucht on a severe seizure , and
she certai.43y , in appearance , justified
the post-surgeon's opinion ; but before
morning she had come back to herself ,
and was heart-broken to find Tom de
lirious with grief and as unconscious
of her presence as she had been of his.
. "Viva"he said , a few days after
they were fairly settled in the new life ,
"my darling ! my wife ! think what
might have happened if I had never
known about this. Promise me , Viva ,
hereafter to trust me. Tell me every
thing ! "
She looked up in his troubled , ten
der face with a divine smile , and softly
said over his talisman , "J promise. "

In the London Gazette for March ,

effect that a black boy of about 1 o
years of age. named John White , ran

QUANTRELL , THE MYSTERY.
A Short Sketch by One Who Knew
Considerable About Him ,
The public never seemed to have E
correct idea of Quantrell , says T. J
Younger , an Osceola ( Mo. ) correspondent
pendent of the St. Louis Republic.
He came to Missouri a mystery ,
lived a life of mystery , and died un
known even to his most intimate
friends.
He had but little to say about his
career , and what he did say could not
be strictly relied upon.
The only thing that was positively
known of him was that he was reared
hi Ohio , and went from that .state to
Kansas , and from there to Missouri.
He came to this State with a deep-
seated enmity toward Kansas and
Kansas men.
After gathering together a band of
chosen followers he proceeded to wage
a terrific warfare on Kansas and all
who took sides with them in the bor
der trouble.
The secret of his success was in the
fact 1 hat every man in his command
was carefully selected and drilled in
jbhe use of the revolver , then given to
understand that he must light when
ordered to do so , selecting his own
method , saving himself as much as
possible , and inflicting as much dam
age on the enemy as possible , retreat
ing or advancing as circumstances de
manded.
If he had a man unfitted for his work
he was sent to the regular army , and
in this way he selected until a full
company of tried men were banded to
gether.
He had no discipline , rarely ever
gave a command , and when he did it
was to the point. He watched the
movements of the enemy , knew when
to strike , laid his plans , and depended
upon his men to execute them. When
all was ready for a fight his only com
mand was "Fight them , boys , " when
pellmell they would go at the enemy
with such fury that few , if any , ever
withstood their charges.
He was not a tactician or an educat
ed soldier , but simply a good judge of
human nature. He knew what to ex
pect of each and every one of his men
under any and all circumstance. * ; also
what the enemy would do under any
given circumstance. His men had ab
solute confidence in him and he in
them. Hence they went to the enemy
as an earthquaketo aroaringcyelone.
Quantrell was not communicative
even to his best friends , except \\hen
absolutely necessary. Many of his
most daring undertakings were a pro
found secret to his command until
they were in the swim , and then they
only knew they had a duty to per
form and leaye the rest to Quan
trell. There were few if any of his
men knew where they weregoing when
they made the Lawrence raid. They
were called together. Quantrell turned
his horse in the direction of Lawrence ,
and they followed. The result is well
known. When he destroyed Ulunt's
command , near Baxter Springs , not a
man of his knew what he was up to
until they were head over heels in bat
tle. After Price's raid he gathered up
twenty-five of his old guard , started
from Jackson county , Missouri ,
crossed the Os-age river at Linn Creek ,
Mo. , thence to Pocahpntas , Ark. ,
thence to the Mississippi river , cross
ing over into Tennessee , thence to
Kentucky , passing himself as a federal
officer , drawing biipplies at the posts
as they went until some of his men
got drunk and shot some of his feder
al officers , thus letting the cat out of
the wallet and his disguise , resulting
in his death.
He was wounded at old man Wake-
field's and taken to Louisville , \shere
he died under the care of the sisters of
charity , and was buried in the Catho
lic cemetery , and to this day no living
man has any idea what took him into
Kentucky or where he was going from
there , or what he expected to accom
plish. His men had followed him
with blind confidence , knowing he uas
on some kind of a desperate mission ,
with willing hands to execute his or
ders. His death left his intention a
mystery , and thus the greatest guer
rilla chieftain of modern times Unshed
across the military skies. He came n
mystery , originated the most de
structive band ever known , and died
leaving them mystified.
Finds of a Hotel Clerk.
"Fora little while recently , " said
Walter Conner , cashier of the Hotel
Cadillac , one evening. "I thought I
was out just $20 in good money. A
uest came to pay his bill and handed
over a S20 gold piece. I took it with
out looking at it very closely , but
when I came to balance up I received
a severe shock. When I examined the
$20 gold piece I found it was con
siderable different from the regulation
piece authorized by Uncle Sam. In the
place where the word 'Liberty' ap
pears was 'Kellogg < k Co. , and on the
reverse side where 'Tinted ftates'
ought to be was 'San Francisco , Cal. '
I naturally concluded at first thought ;
that the coin was nothing more than
in advertising piece , but as it appear
ed so like unto cold I concluded to ask
people better posted on money than I
ivas. I went to a banker , of course ,
ind from.him I received the ne\\.s
that the coin was genuine , in fact that
it was worth more than S20. The
banker explained that the pieces as
3ne which Kellogg it Co. , of San
Fracisco , were authon/ed by the
government to coin about the year
LS54. He said that there were vtry
rew in circulation at the present day ,
L > ut that each of them contained moru
jold than any of the regular $20 gold
peices. Any jeweller , he said , would
pay moro than its face value for it , "
