THE BURGLAR'S BRIDE.
AN OLD MAID S STORY.
I am now old. The gray indications

fretful bewailing my lot, and wishing
that my days were ended ; then a sweet
,fnl wninrr mxr lot nrl wUhino-
reminiscence of the past sweeps over me,
and inspires" me with reverence.
Though I am an old maid, there are
things connected with my life which af
ford me pleasure to contemplate.
At the age of eighteen I was left an
orphan. My mother died when I was
quite young; my poor father lingered a
few short years, then, like a tragile -low
er, withered and died. Falling heir to
my father's immense fortune, I was flat
tered, courted and admired by the peo
pie of the wcild not for ray self alone,
but for my wealth. Well I knew if I
were destitute of that which has power
to attract thousands, my friends would be
few. I soon became restless, weary, and
tired of those empty flatteries.
At length the tortured brain hit upon
a wild scheme which 1 determined to
carry out, despite the expostulations of
my maid.
Anastase, my waiting maid, had rela
tives resting in a proportionately large
village some six miles from W , and
I there determined to execute my project.
It was a radiantly beautiful morning in
and the delicious and sweet perfume of the
i -
nowers, seemed to add taim to myacning
heart, and revive my drooping spirit. I
was not a philanthropist; but on that
beautiful morning I felt that there were
others beside myself, and that the Crea
tor had not designed this terrestnal uni
verse for me alone to enjoy.- All I now
desired was a true and trusting friend,
one whom I could love, and whose faith
fulae.s the adversities. of life could not

My maid and I stood upon the portico,
literally surrounded by trunks, boxes and
bundles impatiently awaiting tne arrival

of the rustic. luraberinr stase coach. I
was completely metamorphosed, having
substituted the plain, comely traveling
dress for my usually rich apparel; no
lewelry adorned my person ; it was my
object to appear as one in the ordinary
circumstances. At an abrupt turn in tne
road a cloud of dust revealed to my anx
ious eyes the wished, for, conyeyance

at the house, we were rolling toward our
new home.
This caprice of mine was indeed re
markably novel. I, the wealthy D'Ha-
ven, daughter and heir of Captain D'Ha-
ven, U. S. N., riding in a country stage
coach ; destination an old farm house,
where, ia order to find some one to love

me, independent Gi goiu as a aowry, a
had assumed a hctitous name, and be-
vw w J . - . .
some of my aristocratic friends say
irst the old time-worn church, then a
cluster of freshly painted cottages reveal
ed our wished for destination. It was
the dawn of a new era to me.
".Miss Howard, I believe?" said a
portly old gentleman, advancing to where
my maid and I stood.
It was Anaslase s uncle. He had
come to meet us with the -vagon.
I am she," I-answered slightly bow
ing, and, as I gazed upon his round ge
nial face, a feeling cf friendship was
awakened in my bosom, which I had nev
er before experienced.
I cannot describe my state of mind as
, , 1 . 1 3 -,, T
rode through the country village. I
was almost tempted to forget my or'igion-
al intention. How humiliating it would
be, were it made public, I thought. My
name would bo a byword to gossip3. My
reverie ." was brought to a cicse by the
termination of our journey.
This, then, is to be my temporary
home," said I, looking" at the old, an
tique looking house looming up from
among large and shady willows.
I was introduced to the inmates, and
then Mrs. Williams (a kind, genial mat
ron of two ficcre and ten one whom I
hall always remember with a feeling
akin to awe) accjmpanied me to my
room. After expressing many wishes
and apologies, the said:
"My dear Anna for such I must call
you you must make yourself perfectly
at home. Our mode of living is not
grand, but we will do all in our power to
make you comfortable."
"Thank you," I replied ; "I shall en
deavor to do so. I am perfectly entran
ced with your rural home. It is so dif
ferent from what I pictured it. Every
thing is so home-like so inviting."
I had been in my new home two months
months cf bliss to me and what
changes were wrought in those two
months? I met him Eugene St. Slair.
Tall, dark and handsome. I fail to des
cribe him. He remains an incognita to
this day. He seemed cool and distant to
all but me. Ijnet him, and loved him
loved him as mortal seldom loves. One
night, as we stood upon the lawn facing
the lake, the crescent moon shown full
upon us, and nothing disturbed the still
ness but the gentle rippling of the water.
His hat he held in one hand, the other
clasped mine. He was gizing dreamily
into my eyes. I could not speak. I was
silently happy.
"Anna." said he in his lew, harmoni
ous voice, which sounded like music to
my ear "Anna, will you be my -wife ?
Will you link your destiny with that cf a
gambler?"
A gambler!" I gasped, disengaging
myself from him, and gazing with terror
into his pal id face.
"A gambler I have been but I have re

and reckless. My father thrice threat

threats. I became involved in debt ; ap

He buried his head in his hands and
wept. I could not articulate a word. I
seemed petrified. Objects began to grow
dim around me. I staggered and would
have fallen had he not caught me in his
arms. I left the spot the aliianced bride
oi Lu-cne St. Clair.
I was happy and sorrowful, alternate
ly ; happy in the. belief that Eugene loved
me, yet apprehensive of my future.
We were to be married ia three weeks,
I did not know his reason for a hasty,
quiet marriage. I did not enquire
Whatever Eugene desired, I willingly

1 felt piqued at his not telling me the
nature of his business ; but with a single
smile I bade him God speed. He lifted
my hand to his lips, and passionately iin
printed kisses upon It.
As his form passed trom view, there
came a thought into. my frivolous mind
a' thought which was destined to blast
mv bright tores and visions. I asked

to be packed, so as to be able to start on
the morrow.

We were sitting on the porch enjoy-
in the refreshing breeze from the lake
I noticed the crestfallen look oh their
faces as I spoke of departing. I. too,
experienced a poignant pang cf regret at
leaving such kind nnd sympathizing
friends. The kind old lady turned her

you; but whose reputation is so very
bad, he was at one time reckless, aissi

been a a gambler."
I learned that from his own lips," I
returned rather haughtily.
"Yes, my child ; but do ycu not know

were he to prove false, I wouid net con

She made no answer.
But this evening, as I bid her ''good
night," she fondly drew me to her, and
fervently pronounced a blessing.
The morning dawned radiant nnd
beautiful. Mrs. Williams greeted me
with a merry gotd-moming," inquired
after my health, and invited me to par
take of a frugal meal she had prepared
for me. Then came the final leave tak
ing, and in a short time I was on my
homeward journey.
I found everything as I had left it at
home. The servants were somewhat
surprised at my unlooked for arrival. I
left Anastase to make all explanations,
and sought my room. I immediately
changed my dusty garments, for more
suitable apparel, and proceeded to write
to my future husband. In it I stated that
I wiihtd to see him concerning material
matters gave him the neceseary direc
tions wrote his addre'ss on the'envelopo,
and placed the'r.ote in my writing desk,
intending to send it on the morrow. It
had again became cloudy, and toward
evening the rain dctcenieJ ia torrents.
The hoarse rearing, of the thunder, and
the dull pattering of the rain, did not
sound discordant to my ear. I liked it.
It agreed with my turbulant state of
mind.
I had just finished a booS in which I
was deeply interested. The clock tolled
the hour of eleven. I started, rubbed my
eyes, and threw my book upon the table.
Time flies on rapid wings, I thought,
and made preparations to retire. I lay
listening to the rain beating against my
window, thirikiDg of the time when he
would j lace his arms about me, and call
me his Jittle wife. And I, too, wa3 per- encouragement which it gives t3 the op
formiug a good action. I was rescuing position. We have already said that the

from the yawning gulf cf perpetual per
dition one of God's creatures one for
whom I -would willingly have sacrificed
my life. The clcck struck twelve I
turned myself on my pillow, and tried to
compose my mind to sleep. I had sunk
into sweet, dreamy slumber, when I was
awakened by a slight n5ise in the direc
tion of the window. A noise too loud to
be caused by the rain, nnd too low, 1
thought, to be caused by a human being.
I raised : myself -nT bed, and peered
through the darkness. The light which
I generally left burning, flickered dimly,
casting vague shadows here and there.
Intent on learning the cause of the
noise which disturbed me, I quietly arose
and approached the window. At Ihat in
stant a vivid flash cf lightening illurnir.a-
ted the room, and revealed to me the
window, partly raised. For a moment
I stood, irresolute, caused by the reflec-
tion that, perhaps, burglars had attempt-
ed to gain an entrance to the house.
The raised window convinced me that
danger was imminent, for I had securely
cicsed it before retiring. Before his
death, my father had piesented roe with
a small pistol, and this weapon I always
kept under my pillow. Ia an instant
mere I was by the bidside, and had the
pistol in my hand. I gazed again toward
the window ; but oh, horror ! before it ure. If so, it is precisely what we want.

I tried to cry out but my voice failed
me. Jne next instant l was ruaeiy
seized by the throat, and a horse voice
hissed in my ear.
' Que word and you die !
I was frantic with fear. I clenched my
pistol, ltvekd and fired. A flash of
lighiening revealed the features of
Eugene bt. Clair. The clock tolled one.
My story is told. I feel relieved of a
heavy burden.

THE EBB OF THE TIDE.
John Morgan is in the saddle again.
His raid through . Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Iowa has not resulted in the cap ture
of those States though it has caused loy-
al men no little discomfort and alarm.
But we trust that it will only rouse the
spirit of the North, -and that when ihe
remember the rebel raid and the insolent
rejoicing nicn ionowea it,
The election returns, though they do
not please, do not disappoint nor surprise
us. In spite of all that good leaders can
do to teach the necessity of steady and
effort, the Republican voters
still feel that they need not spend all
their time in killing the Democratic par-
ty. Accordingly, when tne main issue
is not directly involved, they stay a
que
estion, and suffer the enemy to gam
fruitless victories. Unwise as this is, it
is still not unnatural, for overwhelming
victories engender overweening conn
dence. . The stinjr of occasional defeat
and the pressure cf apparent peril are
needed to rouse the party to irresistible
effort. Meanwhile, the opposition victo
ries, exctpt in their moral effect upon
both partie;!, are reaiiy fruitless.
What hr.ve we lost? lhe Supreme
Judge pf Pennsylvania i3 not an officer
of any political consequence, and the de
feat of Williams, if indeed he is defeat
ed, does not diminish in the least de
gree the actual power of the dominant
party. The loss of local cfhcer3 in rim-
adt-lphia is of still less practical cense
ousnce. Its only result will be benefic
ial if i; turns out cf control cf the party
the
.e. local manogement by which this de-
at has been brought about. The loss
..vi ."ir, nmn ,vrtnH h-P
feat
cf the State ticket in Ohio would have
been serious, but we have not lost it.
Hayes will to Governor, and Thurman
will still aid Vallandigham to adora pri
vate life. Tee power of the State, in
anv emergency, will be in the riht
hands, ard the thousands cf Republicans
who stayed at heme, thus reducing the
majority, having recruited their demor
alized, system by thi3 little relaxation,
will come up to the polls at the next
election a3 fresh as ever. Ia Iowa, if
we have lost in seme cities because of
local divisions, we have still secured all
the fruits of yctcry. Two senators are
to be elected, one in Ohio and one in
Pennsylvania ; and the prospect now is
that the Republicans have secured both.
If so, it is a gain cf one (in place cf
Bickalew). and that precurly where a
gasn is of practical and permanent im
portance. Two members of Congress
were elected, to fill vacancies. In Penn
sylvania, a Democrat replaces a Demo
crat by a greaUy reduced majority. In
Ohio, we loose one The sccoicus voice
cf Cary will be heard ia Congress, and
his vote will sw ell the little minority of
noes on all party measures to fifty in
stead cf forty-nine that is all. If, in
stead cf one member, the Democrats had
gained twenty, they might hare been
able to sustain a veto. As it is, they can
do nothmsr.
Th.3 defeat cf the negro suffrage
amendment in Ohio is to be regretted,
not .because the practicial advantages cf
an increased Republican vote would have
been considerable, but becauso of the

somewhat more opposition to it than
would have been excited by a sia:plei
proposition of negro suffrage. Dut, iu
the defeat of the amendment we have
new proof cf the necessity of earnest,
faithfnl, and well-directed effort, to re
move that prejudice upon which all
Democratic oPDositioa to the reccnsiruc-

tion measures will be concentrated.
In practical advantages we looss noth
ing. The fruits cf victory remain with
us. We regret only the moral etfoct cf
reduced Republican majorities.' The re
sult will encourage Andrew Johnson. It
may embolden him to armed aud violent
resistance to the popular uilland we
cannot now be sure that he ul;I not force
the people who neglected to use their
ballots in October, to tke down their
muskets in December. At the least, it
renders imperatively cecefs.iry those
measures cf preparation which have hith-
erto been derided as needlers.
The moral effect cf the elections, i;i
the ordinary sense in the e!fect upon
other elections, and especially upon thu
Presidential cenrsst will rather fa-
vorable than otherwise. Tru.?, it will
embolden the Democrats. " Possibly it
may stimulate them to adept some deft- 1
nite policy a thing they have not dared
to do since they declared tho war a fail-

At a meeting of Copperheads held at
Hillsboro, Ohio, Mr. V allandigham wai
advertised to ?peak, but just before that
apostate commenced, the Chairman, a Mr.
Jillson, announced that "he had just re
ceived a letter, and would like to read it."
Mr. Vallandigham said certainly, ar.d
Mr. Jillson read as follo ws :
"Is Hell, Rcorn No. 71,4S0."
" To the Black Republicans of OMj :
