Ou Ibo river line of Missouri , In 1601 , Jived two families , snmll fanners , and both without paternal heads or guides. Dugal Moore , with his aged mother , con- Ititutcd thu one ; Allen Dean , with mother and sister , hold the other and neighbor ing homestead. liotn young mon worn not yet in their majority wliun the stirring events of se cession racked tiio union. They hud been close friend's since boyhood. All the sur rounding country knew that Ducal and pretty Jennie Dcr\n , Allen's young sister , Vrcro and had been devoted lovers since they wore old enough to know the mean ing of such a word * , likewise that the two farms were to bo united as well as the lovers so BOOH ns "things bcciuuo more Bottled. " But "things" becnmo more and more unsettled , and when the clash of war eventually caused all to realize that strife was a fixed and inevitable fast , then the troubles of the expectant pair grow , to them , far darker than the clouds that lowered over our land. For Uugal had the fixedness of his own opinions , and from the first he had been nn outspoken ndvocato of the Union , While Allen , hot-hondod. us strongly espoused the cause of thu South , When the call of the drum roused mon ti arms Allen was among the first to en- 1 list under the confederate Hag. Every body expected that Dugal would be equally prompt to light for the stars and stripes ; but Uugal made no sign , lie had carefully weighed his duty to his country mid to the old mother who had long over taxed her strength to support him in his helplessness , if ho left her she must Starve , and to all the entreaties , demands and threats of those whoso principles ho supported his answer was simply : "lean- > jaot leave my mother. " "Mammy calf" they called him and many other hard names. They promised to see that his mother Bhouhl want for nothing , but ho , having 'Jho long , clear head of the Scotch ances i try , could easily see what such promises wore worth when all about him were as poor as himself , and when the whole country was quickly becoming depopu lated of every available mm on one side or the other. So ho stuek to ills resolu tion , and in a little time was really the only able-bodied young man in his sec tion. tion.And And all scouted him and avoided him , and wjth linger and touguo pointed him out as "that coward. " It was hard on a young follow of twenty who had been popular for these feats of strength and agility that are there so highly estimated , and who had been respected so greatly for his common soiiso that liis elders often sought nnd were guided by his advice. And , worse than all , Jennie Dean cast him off ; she could and would have decided with him politically , but to have the lover in whom eho had so gloried called "that coward" .was far too much for a girl of that section to bear , and she held her head higher from him than all others. Dugal stood'even this without remon strance , though no ouu over know how deep the iron" entered his soul. lie worked like a slave , and bettor , with his surplus and hands ho was always ready to aid the many poor women who then stood badly in need of help , and ( .hough oven those who received his bounty said ho was only "trying to curry favor ; " yet this , with a scornful contempt of men , parties who visited his suction , saved him from violence nnd death. In the later part of 1803 Jonnlo Dean was roused ono night by a fovv clods thrown against the window of the room in which she slept. Fearlessly she pooped out ; quickly she darted to the door of the 'poor house , now poorer than over , and , opening it. admitted a worn , starving , ragged soldier , who , once ho had reached shelter , needed the assistance of her arm to guide him in. It was Alien. Detailed for a scout , ho hail been pursued by Union cavalry , and boy-like , yearned to see these ho loved , had used liis knowledge of by-paths and sought his homo and these ho know would shelter him , hap what might Tenderly he was cared for and cried over nnd fed nnd doctored as best the sister nnd mother could with the few simples at their command. Then ho was hidden in a little nsod loft under thu roof aud all was quiet. Half a mile away , sitting head in hands r by the bedside of the mother to whom ho was so devoted , was Dugal , "that cow- nrd. " But though the body of his par ent lay within his reach her spirit had lied not half nn hour before. The poor woman had bravely borne up against the ill-roputo of her son and the neglect of her former friends , but hard work and the quiet , inward suffering of wounded prided had worn her out at last , and only nt the last she had seemed to fully understand how and why her son had ns ho did. and with her parting breath oho blessed him and told him time would make all things right. As the stalwart youth sat there , won dering in his misery to whom ho cou'd ' apply for help , ho heard the tramp of horses on the road. He heard them halt. Thnro wa.su shout. "Hollo , there ! Housol" Motioning the old negro woman , their only servant for years , to go out and see what was requiredhe resumed his moody silence and posture. How long the woman was gone ho did not note , but aim returned erect , with the lire of wrath in her eves. "Ila ! Mar.s Dug'l. Dat 'or stuck up Miss Jlnniu ' 11 hiug todder side 'or motif 'fore long I reckons. Dem dars Yan kees , an' doys goin' tor cotoh dat rob All111 wets come skulkin1 back yer. Doy didn't jiht know do road , but 1 dun tell 'cm do way , shuahl" Then Dugal arose with his face white with rage ; that .woman had never been nearer dead than that moment. "You murderess ! " ho hissed , and sprang for her. But ho restrained him self as she cowered before him. "Lot the dead bury thu dead , " ho mut tered. Ho gave her some directions ns to going for thu ono person on whom he could de pend , in case ho did not return , for pay ing the last service to that cold clay that he left ; then went nnd kissed the lips of his dead mother and strode out into the darkness. Swift ns a donr , quiet r.s a panther , ho rnailo his way to the Dean house , by paths that would be Inaccessible to cav- ulry'i If Allen were there , his plans were Already made. The friend of his youth must bo in hiding , nnd Diigal knew the old homestead so thoroughly that ho was certain where to find him. Ho reached the back of the house just ns the troop drew up before It. Quickly ho climbed on thu roof of the "lean to'r nnd quietly he entered the little apartment. A few rays from the moon showed him a gaunt form stretched upon a hastily made bed on the lloor. Ho knelt down nnd put his hand upon the figure. In an instant the man rose and tried to grapple with him , then loll back with n groan. "Allen , man ? Allen , dear ! It's me , Dugnl. Do nothing , say nothing. They shall not take you. " There was a noise nt the door , the scream of nn elder and the wild protesta tions of n young woman wcro mingled with the gruff , firm voice of a man. "We'll search the house , Miss , and if ho ain't hero there's no harm done , but search it we must nnd will. " Dugal wns busy nil this time , nnd as Jennie with her frail body was trying to bar thu entrance of the otliccr and his men , behind her appeared n figure in ' butternut , n ragged 'attempt nt uniform. "Don't harm my mother nnd sister ; I will go with you , " said the new arrival. Jennie gave one glance and sank ( insulcss upon the Moor ; thu old mother Yas long since blind and speechless from rifjht. Gladly the troops secured their pris oner and hurried away from such a scnnc. It was early morning when they reached the headnuarters of the com mand. The colonel was n man who had suffered much ; he believed in n war of retaliation , lie neither asked nor gave quarter. Thu prisoner was brought before him. "Who are you * " "Allen Dean. " "What regiment ? " "Tenth Alabama. " "What are you doing iu our lines ? " "On a scout. " "Shoot him at noon ! " was the quiet but stern order [ riven to thu lieutenant aud thu doomed man was marched away. Noon came , there was no time for nuch prayer or question , and the unfor tunate had made no sign. The "lirmg detail" had been made , roops were ranged about , the prisoner was brought from a lent used as a guardHouse - House ami placed before an open , shal low grave. Five minutes and all would bo over. A sorry-looking mule came forcing its way along the road ; on it was a young man who swayed from sidn to side with weakness and whoso thin cheeks burned with fever and excitement. So sudden nnd strange was his appearance that ho 'orced himself through the lltui before jn- ( irfcrenco was thought of nnd , tottering toward the condemned , ho threw his arnis about him , then facing the troop ho cried : "I am Allen Dean I nm a rebel ; this is Dugal Moore , and a true union man. " There was a confusion of course there was au inquiry ; for , the colonel , though hard , was just. "Why did you personate this man ? " ho asked. "Ho was my friend before the war. " 'Has ' he a sister ? " asked the shrewd commander. "Ho has , sir , " replied Dugal , nnd his pale face blushed. "I thought so there's ' always a woman in it , " said the colonel to * , hiniKulf , but ho said no mbfti. , Dugal was sot free. Allen remained a prisoner , but was released in time to at tend the wedding of Jennie and Dugal. The former ' 'Hob , " unfit for service , stayed at home. Dugal entered the Union army , served through the war and loft it with high rank. Many are honors that have been heaped upon him and many more ho will yet receive at the hands of those who once branded him as "That " Coward. TWO QUAKER WEDDINGS. Peculiarly Interesting Kvcnts in Phil adelphia Society. A Philadelphia letter says : Society has been showing a good deal of interest in thu marriage of two maidens of rich Quakers families. The ono was made wife with all the simplicity of ceremonial characteristic of the disciples of Fox in the old days. The wedding of the ether was a great fashionable crush , with abundance to cat and drink and a great show of gowns and jewels. The father of the first girl has a million or two ma'd'e in the shipping tr.ule , nnd he could have made a great splurge had he chosen. But ho still has a profound regard for the book of discipline , and his child was mated as decorously as her mother had been before her. To bo sure , there was some latitude as to the color and make of the gown , and there were signs of a festival hero and there in a mild way. It was an evening wedding nt the bride's houso. The cominir of the event had already been announced in meeting , and no objection was made , though the groom himself was not any too strict in the observance of the so ciety's rules. But that docs not count ferns ns much nowadays as it used to. and the n.atch was considered an excellent one 11 around. The bride and groom , hav ing made ready , came down into thu parlor very plr.inly furnished with stiff- backed black mohair chairs , nil sitting primly around thu walls. Thu briilc were a white silk gown , not too long in the train , with a tulle veil nnd orange blos soms. The geom was in n regulation evening dress. The relatives and other invited guests and the immediate families of both the parties , of course , wcro ail as sembled. The bride and groom sat down for a few moments on chairs placed for them over nt the head of the room. Not n soul spoke till the groom , rising , ex tended his hand to the bride and raised her up. And there before the people ho plighted his troth and she professed her love for him and gave herself to bo his wife and promised to love and obey him for all her days. Thou the marriage contract wns produced nnd the groom and bride signed. Then the parents put their names there and all the rest did the same , till the paper was quite full. After that there was some feasting ; tea am' buns , and cold meats , some confections and so on , were served. But , thotigl there was no loud laughing , no bolster ousness nt all , no commimcnts , and everybody was "then , " or "Thomas , " or "John , " or plain "Jonos , " and nobody tried to lord it ostentatiously over the servants , yet there was n vast deal o joy shown in the shining eyes and in the swrot smiles , anil a great deal of true gentility manifest in thu appearance and behavior of the company. This was an "old-fashioned" wedding.and the people for the most part "old style friends , " who are not very numerous now , oven in thn "Quaker City. " But the few among the guests who were not members of the society found the occasion delicious in its plainness and a vast deal more enjoyable than most of the "now stylo" crushes. The other Quaker maiden was the chief figure in a splendidly dressed throng. Two thousand people had been asked to her wedding , which took place nt the country place of her mother , fif teen miles out. The older woman has some ? ; J,003ODO. Her daughter came out last autumn , and she gave n round of costly entertainments in the girl's honor. So many people in society were thus placed under obligations that n much larger proportion of the cards than usual were accepted. The family nro Episco palians In these later days , nnd the cere mony was performed nt the picturesque- looking .stone church about a mile nnd half fntiu the house. After the. wedding there Wns a fete champctro at thu resi dence of the bride's mother , with great gossiping and driiiKlng out on the Inwu. The bride wore something altogether now In the way of wedding clothes. Her gown wns made in the classic stvlo.cline- ing close to her fine figure. It was of Bungnline silk , moderately decollete , with short sleeves. The skirt was nlto- ecther without trimming save the edge , which was adorned with silver nnd pearls. A broad girdle encircled thu waist nnd fell In front quite to the hem of the dress. The bridesmaids , of whom there were eight , were In white crepe , with big hats trimmed witli wild flowers. The wealthy mother of the bride was her self brought up in accordance with the rules of the Society of Friends , nnd in her youth were n trim drnb gown nnd poke bonnet. Her own mother , who is still living , continues to bo a professional member of the society , dresses in ap proved simplicity , and says "theo" to every ono. CONMJ1UALITIE8.

U is understood that Hishof Potter has assured several persona tin no such tiling is likely.
