"The Rebels are comm aaio, and this time, tbey will do us more harm, I am afraid." These words were spoken ly an old man. in a low, truutled voice. "I am not at raid, father. I enjoyed looking trt their browo faces and dirty uniforms lat time they were here. A motley crew they .were, but ihere was some hatidrome faces among them." 'Ytu will never learn to look at life seriously, Annie. Can rr.y daughter trust those who have been faithless to the best Government this world ever knetf ? I depise these trait'ors, and tremble when they enter cur State. They will teach us yet that we should, for our own honor, have kept them out. God grapt, my child, that they may spare us the lu;le we have ; it is not long 1 t-hall want it." "TrouVle come? soon enough, father 5 don't le us borrow it'. You look tired and anxious. Go to sleep and forget these Rebels; 1 don't believe they aro coming, and if they do, they will pas'i our store ; there is" icq Utile in it to waste their time upon." The qjd man kissi-d his daughter, but lf.ft rhe room witn'a sd, troubled face. Annie Drown leaned her head upon her band, and seemed absorbed in thought They must hare.been pleasant thoughts, for a smile la up her fair face, and once she laughed right merrily. "Poor, dear father; I wish he was not so hopeless. I'm mot afraid, but rather Mrant to ee the dirty traitors again." Annie Pown was a fragile-lookiog "irl, small, and Ter jouthful in appear -ti eyes, and a face whose beaty consisted in its eter g expression. She iat still for a lonl "V. time, and gradually the smile changed into sadness, and a weary expression stole over her facp. She was pn only child. Her father was old and iufirm her mother's time was occupied m house hold duties; herein attending the little store that formed their whole support. When Annie lay down that night, it was not to sltep ; a vague fear came over her, and she lay thinking of her father's words. Annie bad known enough of the trials of poverty to make, her cling to the little they had, and she offered up and earnest prayer that, (JoH would, save that to them. She, had sunk into nn uneasy sleep towards morning, from which-she was awakened y strand voices beneath th window. Springing lighily out of bed. rhe gently opened the shutters.and listened to the speakers. 'Demand five hun Ired thousand dol lars, and if they cau't or won't piy it. the town must be burned according to the General's orders. Let us be uick, it is an ugly job, and the sooner it is over, the better." . Tiiese were the words which fell on Annie's ear. There was no mistaking them, and in early dawn she could dis tinguish that the speakers wore the uni form of officers.. With a heavy heart, she dressed herself.then quietly descend ing to the store below, she tied all the mony in the drawers into a small bag, and fastened it around her. Then noise lessly she' went about the house, filling every vessel she could find with water, and carried them into the store. The work w2s fast finished when her father entered. vWhy, Asnie, child, what are you do ing?" he asked, vainly trying o conceal his alarm. s Preparing for the rebels father," she answered smilingly, for no matter what sad and anxious thoughts Annie Brown might have, her father always saw a smiling face. It was a long time before Anne would" 'tell what she had learned tut her father's earnest questioning drew ! it frrm her; . and whn the old man Uuid , me omjnous wnnis hdv1 ariU strength teemed to leave him. His had bpen a weary life of ttruggling and dis appointment. of little gain and many losses ; and now, in the sunset of life, when he had gathered a few comforts into his little h"rne, he was to losf nil. Annie turned frwm her work to comfort her father. Gently she led him into the little back'room, and tried to infuse some of her -own brave spirits into his, but in vain. OIJ age cannot look upon things with youth's hopeful eye. While An nie 'alked, suddenly red lights ghnced in at the window, and the aunjiphpre grew thick with smoke. She left her father, and hunyiug to ihe door, a sceue burst upon her that beggars disenption. The whole town was blazing, Asfar a the eye could see, it was fire fire eve rywhere. Through the dense Mnoke she could distinguish hundreds of figures run ning wildly to and fro. There were wild shrieks, and children's screams of terror, mingled wiih the tramp of sold iers and the crackling of the flames. As the bewildered girl stood looking at the fearful scene, three soldiers came and ordered her 10 leave the house. She fixd her dark eyes upon them, aud begged, for her father's sake, that their little home might be saved. Vhey laugh ed at her plea$ng, and at the tears that were crusjng down her cheeks. She saw 'hat tears and words were in vain, and as they threw iu ihe burning torches she sprang to her buckets of water, and. with, a courage that seemed superhuman, extinguished torch after torch. The rude soldiers looked in wonder at the brave girl, and would have left her in tne house she had so nobly saved, but for one more brutal than the rest. Drawing a pistol from his breast, he ex claimed with an oath : ' "Put out another, torch, woman, and your life shall pay for your boldness." . Annie neither saw nor heeded the pistol, though it was pointed &t her, and the fierce angry face cf the soldier told thnt he was in earnest. Another torch was thrown upon the floor, another bucket of water extinguish ed its red glare. There was a . bright flash, a loud, quick report. The soldiers paused in their work to see the brave girl fall. But there she stood, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glaring defiance ready to extinguish another torch. "Pour on the Camphene, boys, and let us burn the fiend." The command ' was obeyed, and the white flame spread over the store the .brave girl had vainly tried to save. T ve this place, soldiers." said a voice tf autn.)ri y, and a uil officer en tered he door. "You deserve your home, brave girl," and seizing" bucket after bucket, he threw tb8 wertt on the flames that were rap idly grtning heidwiy.' Some one to help her, .Annie's spirits rose again, and together they worked; the officer only pausing to. look at the bright eyes and flushed facp of the brave and now beautiful girl.'' Tbey worked long and steadily, and saved the li-tle house, but the contents of the store were gone. The work and excitement over Annie lean-d languidly against the door aud gazed stdly round her. Bending over the dreary girl, the officer whisper ed : "Tell me your name," noble girl ; I must go now, but you .h til see me again." "My name is Annie Brown," she an swered ; and who must I lhauk for sav ing my home." It was a Rebel, sweet girl, who you shall see again ; he has saved your life and honor to. Far well." . Annie could, see his tall figure but a moment, for it was lost in the -black smoke that covered everything She turned from the heated .heavy atmosphere and found her mother.and father in the little back room overcome with grief and terror " "The store is gone, 5ear father, but our house is safe, she saidcheerf ully. "And you saved' it my child. God bless you." Tears rolled down the old man's cheeks as he drew the little dreary fig ure to his heart. And Annie felt more than repaid for her labors, when her father proudly smiled upon her through bis heart. . A week of fearful suffering followed that day of. fire. Neighboring towns eut bread to the famishing and clothes to the naked. But thousands- were houseless and beggared who bad lived in luxury and "taste. They lingered among .he ruins, hopeless nd helpless. ciintrin to the tdackened walls aruLliv mg mem because they had been Jhomes. Annie Brown's home was a refuge for many who knew not where. to lay their heads; and the little she had saved was freely shared with those who had noth ing. A week of toil," privation, and suffer ing had pissed, but bravely Annie Brown had borne it. She had seothed and comforted those around her; and had felt the cravings of hunger that others miht not suffer. But even An nie's courage and bravery was commen cing to fail, she sat upon her little back porch vainly trying to check the tears ihat would come, and thinkingsadly and hopelessly of the future. All were asleep within the low house and she sat wondering what sh could do to keep hunger and wretchedness from those she Io?ed so well. A w-ary pros ppct lay before her and a prayer rose to her lips that God would teach her what to do. . . The prayer was scarcely cffered.when she keard a Ijttjf, quick; step; aud look ing up, slip haw a tall form beside her. She tould scarcely dis'inguish it in the darkness, but as the figure turned to wards hr, the light from the window fell upon him. and Annie recognized the officer who had helped her to save her house. . . . He put his finger to his lips and whis pertd : "1 am alone, Annie, and have risked everything to see you again. . She did nut speak, and he eat down beside her. . "Are you not glad to see me.Annie ?" he asked. "Yu have saved my life i and all that I have I owe to you; but," she added "that is very little, and God only knows what we are to do. It would have been kind soldier, to have tbaken life, too. when all else were gone. Vfe are beg gars, and you have made us so.' He did hot seem to notice Annie's hbitter words, but drew her to hirn. At first she resisted,; but his strong arm was around her, and there was something in his manner that soothed the weary girl. He told her of "his hotreof its' beau ty, its wealth, its luxury he said he had come to ffer it to her. He told her of hi3 love ; that she would le to him more than all else ;.- that he would shelter and comfort her, and she should never know sorrow, or trouble, or weariness. Annie listened to the strange, sweet words. Her life had been given to oth ers She had borne her burdens alone and unmurmuringly, but life seemed of ten weary and full of care. The stran ger knew this, for he could read worn an's heart, and he could whisper ; word. that would soothe ond win. ' Hour after hour flew by, and still An nie listened to his glowing description and low, loving words. Jt was past mid; night,, and the officer's voice sank lower as he whispered : "Annie 'will you -go wiih me, trust me, and all I have told you shall, be yours," ; ".Where shall I go?", she asked. "To the sunny South, and be ay, lit 'le bride." " , H drpw a glittering ring- from. hi- finger opd put it upon her. He turned that'ibe light might fall upon. the dia mond. It fell upon his f-4ce. It was a tiandsnm face ; but that made her trem blt She knew nothing of the world beyond her home. She had listened and believed the honeyed words that had been whispered. But there is little af finity between purity and voicsTand one look roused Annie from her dream of love and brought back the realities of life. She drew her hand fro.nj his, and taking the ring from her finger, said : "I cannot go. God bless you, soldier, for what you have done; but I cannot go with you." . ; The calm, decided tone surprised the lover, but he did not quit his suit. Ev ery art of persqasion was used, but m vain. The more earnest he grew, the more decided Annie became, and when he found persuasion was of no avail, he resorted to force. Annie's brave spirit rose'as the dan ger became more imminent. Her hand was upon the door, and m calm, meas ured tones she said : "Soldier, you have been kind ; for ibis I thank you fr, but I blush - that I have listeued so long to a traitor that I have trusted even for an hour who be lieves neither in faith or in honor. Go back to your comrades, . and remember that weak woman, alorje, and tn the dead of niiht, dared to say she -UjLt 1 4 You shall pay for your scorn, proud girl, if love is sweet, revenge is sweet er."" He drew a pistol from his breast and fired. Annie saw his design and moved quickly, but the shot passed through her arm. The noise roused the house, and they hurried to the door. Aunie was alone. The traitor and coward was gone. She was pale and faintfrom thcrioss of blood, but it prov ed only a .flesh wound. And as she looks at it now. she tels those who come to her how she was saved, that "a trait or may b kinJ, but he never can be trusted." The testimony proving the complicity of JeflVrson Davis is very full and ample, but cannot yet-be given to the public with any conijiieten'esg of detail. I may pr t pei ly slate, howe.er, that it consists not merely of oral, tut also of documen tary eviden:e letters (of J. D. and to J. D )sent on frum Canada and Rich mond, .picked up in New York and fur nished by the ciiizens of Washington. I may aUo state, I suppose, without involving the witness' safety, that a man who has, been a member of Jefferson Davis' official family for the past-four years, has been here from Richmond, and testified before the court in secret session, that he has seen a letter from Jtfferson Davis to George N.. Sanders, advising, as a last resort, the assassin ation of President Lincoln and the whole Cabinent ! General Grant being in the court-room, rose andfdesired to vonchfor the good character and credibility of : ihe witness. Among the incidents that have inter lined the great events of the past few week, is one mentioned in connection with the conference between Gem Candy and Commissioners of Kirby Smith to negotiate the. surrender -of the Trans Mississippi army. The capitulation was directed on part of the rebel commission by S. B. Buckner, Lieut Gen.;C. S. A. By a striking coincident it will be seen that the same man who makes the last formal surrender of the rebellion to the national army, also made the first one by the rendition of Fort Dpnelson and its garrison-to General Grant in February, 1S62. This Geri. Buckner has been Alpha and Omega tjf the downfall of the Confederacy. -' ' , Sam Slick says he knew a man down East whose feet were so big that he had to pull his pantaloon? ever his head. SPEAKING IILS MLNii. Old Deacon Holhcuse had a habit rf frequently thinking aloud-' Especially it any matter. troubled him, he had to talk it over with h;rns.elf before h:s peace cf mind could be restored-. Oae day he was alone in his barn, picking hay from the scaffold to the mow, whea his . cefgabor Stevens went U n ' hirn. Stevens heard a voice andlisULoJ, It wacfTiLie Bencn talking. ;to. himself, He was condemning in the strongest, terras the'extrvagLce of the, minestex's vjfe. "She sets a worse exnmple than Sa tan!" exclac;el.the. Deacon, by. way cf climax.' And having freed his minJ, he was prrparing to come, down from the loft, when. Steavens glided out of the barn,and came in again just as the peacon landed on the fljor. " How d'ye do. Deacon?" m'ed Ste vens.. 'T.want to bcrow, your. half-bushel an h?jur or two." "O, sartin sartin," said the Deacon. The masure was put into . neighbor hands,' and he departed. It was a peaceful community.tbe minis ter's wife was an excellent woman, not withstanding her lov-e for finery; and I)ea con Hobhouse was of all men the least disposed to make trouble in . the society. Her ce the sensation which was produced when the report circulated that he. had used almost blasphemous language in speaking of that amiable lady, The sweetest tempered woman would not like to hear of a grave and influential Dacou declaring that she "sets a w;orse example than Satan !'"' The minister's wife, whose ear was in due time reached by the report, felt in a high degree incensed, and sent her husband to deal with the honest old man. ' The latter was astonished when tdd of the charge against him. . 'I never said so !" he solemnly aver red. "You are quite positive that you never did ?" iaid the minister. "Jleaven knows ! It's taUn as false can be J" exclamed the Deacon. "What' ever thoughts! may have had about your wife' extravagance ; and I am now free to say I do think she has set our wives and daughters a-running aftr new bon netsand shawls, and such vanities whatever thoughts I've had, though, I've kept 'em to myself ; 1 never mentioned 'em to a living soul,nevei !" The good man's earnestness quite con vinced the minister that he had beenal sely reported. It was therefore neces sary to dig to the root of the scandal. Mrs. Brown, who told the minister's wife, had heard Mrs. Jones say, that Air. Adams sa'd that Deacon Hubhouse said so ; and Mr. Adams, being applied to. stated ihat hi had the report from Stev ens, who said that he heard the Deacon say so. Stevens was accordingly brought op for rx;mitation, and confronted with the Daccn. ."It's an cutrsgecus falsehood !" said the Deacon. "You.know, Stevens, I never opened my lips to you on the sub ject nor to any other man." 4,I heard you say," remarked Stevens, cooly, "that the minister's wife set a worse example than Satan; and I can take my cath of it." "When?" Where?" demanded the excited Deacon. Cyln your barn,' replied Stevens, "when I w;ent to borrow your half-bushel." - "There never was su:b a lie, Stevens Stevens,". aid the quivering Deacon "you know " - ''Wait till I explain," interrupted Ste vens. "I was on the barn floor, yoy were up cn $9 scaffold, pitchjng hay talking to yourself. I thought it too good to keep ; so, just for the joke, I told what I hpard you say." The Deacon scratched his head, looked humbled, and admited that he might in ihat way have used the language attrib uted to him. To avoid trouble in the soci ety, he afterwards went to apologize lo the minster's wife. "You mast consider," raid he. that I was talking to myself ; and when I talk to myself, I ant apt to speak my mind very freely." Cure For the toothache.

One of the victims was Sheikh, Hadji . Moubarik, a. man. cf great infludr.cs among the, Arabs, and-who more thaa any. one else contributed. to the late re volt. -This unhappy man. though sixty seven yeajs of age, was ordered by the Bey to receive two .thousand blows, ahi of these every- o;e was .inflicted wit nessed ;ihe first part of this punishment, but was unable to see it out. the cruelty. was so revolting. The wretched prisoner was thrown on his face on a piece ctr mntting, with his feet tied together and his head anu .s"houlers held down by a soldier. The blows were Iaid on across, the hips and small , "of the., back -with a thick aspen stick, as heavily. &3 a strcnj man could deliver them, and a? on? tired another. took his. place, while.. third, counted the blows, and shouted "striki. harder, strike harder !" When the victim, had received three hundred blows, - hd . called out imploring them to -kill hirn right off, but the only result was that tha. stick was wielded with more brutal yicr than bef or. The ' whole two thousand -; blows inflicted, and at their confjusica. the victim was taken up dead. Seven ottiers shlekLs received ejeh fifteen hundred blows ; of these also tv'o ' died under the infliction, and the other five within half an hour afterwards. Of thcaj who received five hundred blows, I ara told, five died after. being thrown icta prison. Nearly the whole of these vie-, tims were old men, many of them abova seventy years of age. I hear it remarked, that no fewer than 132 500 blow3 have, been given to this one batch cf pri:?ners,. and at the camps, I am assure punish-, ment of similar barbarity is dealt out daily. For the honor of humanity, it is. to be regretted that none of the Consuls have interfered to prevent this brutal cruelty. Here was a matt&r (n . which all'might have joined in a remonsirar.ee which the Bey wou!d not havif dared 16 . disregard, and yet thus far not one of the whole body has uttered a word of protest against brutality which one might' suppose to be impossible within the range cf English or French influence in il is nine-. teentU century. Among the Arabs them selves it is said that the act has decided them to emigrate wholesale to Algeria, where the French offer them free settle-, ments and many other tempting adyanv tages.
