TUE TWO ROSEBUDS, BY L'INCONNUE -:o: We were seated, Gerald and I, in the moon Iii pia"* of one of those fine me? sions which adnrn the islands lying near the "Queen City of the South." AUW years have punned, yet that scene ie mill ires li in my memory; but who cen paint Thc long low pia na, with tte trailing | tines, thc starry jessamine and ruby tictcd indian creeper, playing, et hide? and seek arouud the greet grey pillara, and nuder the caves, end thea liftiog their buds saucily to the brilliant moon? light, as if wooiug the kisses ol the eeph yrs which breathed upon them the j balmy moisture of the blue Cooper. And that moonlight I Who ever sew such moonlight as that which shone on Wave Hall, and was reflected in e thou? sand sparkles from the weves which I broke iu murmurs at tho foot of its| grand old oaks? I have seen tho moon? light lie upoo many a beeutifal scene siucc, but its rays have never touched my heart like those which fell upon the dear old placo, where wero spent so matty of thc bright, unclouded days ot' my happy youug lifo Wo wero not ..wholly iu tho busy world, not quite be youd it," for just beyond tho phosphor? escent sparklo oi the waves, gleamed the aiyriud lights of tho beloved city, end re could hear "Nows from the humming elly, lu sound of funeral or of (naniago bolls, And sitting muffed in dark leaves vou'd hear The windy clanging of the minster clock." Wave Hull was the residence of my uncle, Hurlly llivterc, a perfect specif men of a model olese of gentlemen-the Southern ptauters. His geoial, yet courtly manners, his unbounded hospi? tality, and his ample fortune, rendered | his beautiful home the centre of attrac? tion (ur all within our circle of acquain? tance. Iiis only daughter, Ethel-pat romp and tease-aud ?, lovod each other, more as sisters than cousins. There waa . large p-irty gathered to celebrate the birth-night of a nephew of my aunt's, Gerald (Jrey, who having been left ia orpliau at au early age, was a ward ot my uncle, aud almost a brother to Ethel and 1. He cummanded a company which vol? unteered for service iu Virginia, direct? ly after the stars und stripes on FOTI Sumter were lowered to our triumphant Palmetto, aud had beeu on duty ever I since, except wheo he paid short, yet dearly prized visits home. During those visits, short as they were, a deep eraffection than that ol brother and sister had stolen into our hearts, ead although he had now been home but a few days, already there was a tacit understanding] Ictwceti us. We had been spending e most delightful time-Gerald, Ethel and 1 liding, fishing and taking long strolls through thc dim woods, lounging for hours under one of the lurgest oaks, listening to thc breeze playing amid its j tremulous leave?, and as wo listened, almost imagining that, like Tennyson's talking oak, it had found a voice. Or wc would wander in the cool of thc afternoon along tho beach, watching tho tossing of thc waves, or looking afar out to where thc white sails were catching) the last level rays of the setting sun. Oh ! what bright days those were! Each j hosr seemed filled with tho life, love ami rapturous enjoyment of a year of ordinary existence. A lifotime of happiness seemed to have been crowded into those days, few io number yot fated to exercise a powerful influence upon our lives. For docs not a first lov? lend a colouring to the wholo of our short live? ? I ask not thoso whose fancy is caught by a beautiful face, an elegant person, or by rank, wealth or ac? complishments ; who mistake tht gleam of gold ortho sparkle of jewels, fora spark of thc true fire. But I ask I those who have really come within the nagic cirolo drawn by tho wand of the great enchanter, Love-who, like that li'eaialchymist, the Sun, throws his rays ?found him, transmuting into gold ell upon which they fall. ^"c day, on my uoole's return from ?nc of his frequent trips to.tho city, he Md us he expected a friend from Vir* K'nia, Col Haughton, to dina with him, ?nd after telling us laughingly to mak'd delves as" "fascinating as possible,'1 c?ded by saying it would bo of no use, however, f"r although tho Col. had reached the ago of thirty-five, he bad never felt tho power of the blind God, aT believed himself invulnerable to his Jj?fa' In an instant there fleahed through my mind a resolve to find the v?hicrablc spot in this inodoro Aohilles, 0n?l when, shortly after, I heard him ar r,vci hurried to my room, and calling Klsie, my moid, bade hor arrango my lair io the most becoming manner possible. Aa l surveyed myself in toe mirror, just before descending to meet our guest, I WM by no menai) displeased with my appearaneo. Glossy bands of golden hair, looped baok iron forehead, whose ivor/ fairness wis heightened by contrast with the pale blue muslin, and eyes bright with the pleasnre of anticip?tfed ?oDtjueit, wade np the pic? ture. .Bat, to malee the story shorty he "carno, saw and was conquered/' Scarce a day passed but brought the proud Colonel n Willing eaptif* ti? W?e I?ill. We walked, sung and rode together. Of the latter I was particularly fond, as I knew that I appeared, to advantage in my black riding habit and velvet eap, with white waving plume. Then, on our re? turn from walking er riding, we would linger in th? gathering shadows of the piaer?, and I would sing to him, not the simple yet touching, tender ballads I had sung for Gerald, but songs through whose sentimental words ran nc under? current of deeper feelings. I was com? pletely carried away by girlish vanity, and resented all interference from Ger alu, telling him I had "givenhim no right to regulate my conduct." Ah, Gerald, even now when I look baok at-' my total disregard of your feelings, in those gay yet miserable days, I can scarce forgive myself. How often do we carelessly, ye. deeply wound those whom, in our in? most hearts, we love better than lifo it? self. B?t I was destined tobo arrested In my giddy coarse by a west sudden and un? expected shock. On the morning of the party came the news that my father had met with considerable loss of for? tune, by becoming security ol a person who had betrayed the trust reposed in him. He had become liable for debts amounting to* the greater half of his en? tire fortune. The bearer of the news brought a letter from my father, entreat? ing me not to allow thc intelligence to mar the pleasure of wy visit, nor curtail its length, and not to "trouble my little he?d" about it, f r he still had enough for his '-darling Sybil." My first im? pulse was to return home, but my uncle and family so earnestly urged me to re* main that I reluctantly consented to do so. The news of the loss of so larg? a portion of wy father's property, was a severe blow to me, and although what remained was sufficient for a comfortable maintenance, yet to one who had been accustomed to abundant wealth, simple competence appeared like ?overty. Thea came the great tempUma. I had been pleased and flattered by Col. Haughton'* admiration, but had never onoe thought of a serious ending to what I considered a "harmless flirtation/' Now came tho thought, "why not give up Gerald forever?" Col. Haughton, I knew, was very wealthy. I liked, but did not love him. Surely it would Be no difficult matter to love one so noble lookiug, distinguished and talented. Thus I reasoned with myself, but in the midst of suoh fallacious reasoning, thoughts of Gerald, whom I did love, would intrude upon me, and I could scarce resolve to do that whioh would separate us forever. But it was the night of the party, and this brings me to the begin? ning of my story. In the interval be? tween the dances, Gerald asked me to como out into the plasia with him, and although dreading a "tete a tete," I consented. Gerald and I were seated uudcr the vines, a little retired from tho gay promenaders who filled the piazza. I was sad, for I loved him and know that ho loved mo, withja devotion worthy a better return than I had made him; but Obi. Haughton 'was very wealthy. As his wife, I could gratify my luxurious tastes. Could I give him up? Eaoh seemed afraid to break the silence At last Gerald spoke, "Sybil, I can stand this no longer, to-night you must deeide between Col. Haughton and myself. If iu his favor-although my leave of ab? sence has not expired-I return to my command, there, amid tho hardships of camp, and the smoko of battle, to forget the blue eyes that loved me but to de? ceive. I will seek you hereafter supper. If you still loyo me, give me the whito rosebud whioh you wear in your hair. If your choice falls upon Col. Haughton, give me the red, and without a word I leave you for vcr." He arose, as ho fin? ished speaking, and asked me to return to the parlors, but' tolling him to leave "mo, I sat there with my head renting heavily against the vines; crushing out tho life from tho sweet flowers, and try? ing to crush out the lifo and lovo from my own henri, unconsciously listening to tho gay music and wotohipg, aa tf in a dream, tho graceful figures of tht*dan cors, as they glided through the nVT** of "Les Lanciers." I was thinking, thinking intently, trying to persuade myself that I could bo happy without Gerald, bul in vain; never had ho appear- > ed moro noblo and manly, nevor had I loved him mom than nt tho motnont he left me. If he bad remained, my better angel might have prevailed in that ??weet hour? But I thought of Col. Haughton'* wealth and position, and oh ! the glam? our it east around him. I had always been ambitious-a leather might have turned the scale-when I heard a voice, and turning I found Col. H. at my side. He bad sought me to elsi m roy hand for the next dance ; but now that he bad discovered my retreat, begged me to stay and listen to him. There he told me how he had loved me from the first, and asked me to be his wife, and yielding to my pridp.and silencing the whisperings of my heart, I consented to wear his gol? den chains. The breeio was still fresh and sweet, the flowers as fragrant, and the moonlight still "fell in silver lines." But a blight seemed to have fallen over it. Oh how I huted it all t what right had everything to seem so happy and beautiful around me, while within all was bitterness and regret ? But I bad begun the task aod must finish it, with steady hand must heap the ashes of for? getfulness upon tho glowing flame of a first and only love. Supper was announced, and taking the Colonel's offered arm, I aroused myself, and chatting lightly, passed on to the supper room, trying to appear the gayest of the gay, the smile and gay repartee ever on my lip. Onoe I saw Gerald, gravo, calm and pale, standing a little apart from the others, and inwardly sorrowing, yet outwardly one of the most bright-h ear ted of that gay assemblage. I turned, with words of badinage, to Col. Haughton. After supper, longing to be alone, that I might think over the eventstof the evening, I left the revel Icrs, and hastening to the library, threw myself tn ono of the softly cushioned chairs, with my faco buried in my hands, there to meditate, and to feel that I bad been hurried on to do that which would make me miserable for life. Would that I might have retraced my stcp>, but it was too late-too late. I heard the door open, bot, supposing it to bo one of tho servants, did not raise my head, until a low voice at my sido said, "Sybil, I await your decision," and lookiog up, saw Ger? ald. Feeling that I had gone too far to recede, and fearing to trust my voice, I silently drew from my bair the red rose, glowing as if with the blood of the heart sacrifice I had mad?, and extended it towards him. Without a word, he tobk the hand which held it, pressed one kies upon it, and was gone, gone forever, leaving me to tho grief which I had brought upon myself. The next morning, many Wondered at Gerald's sudden departure, and, from hit stolen glances at my pale oheeks, when ever Gerald was mentioned, I thought Col. Haughton surmised a portion ot th? truth. After a few days, I returned tc the city, accompanied by the Colonel and then, thc next month passed in whai seemed to rae a never ending, wearying round of visits, and congratulations which struck on my ear and heart like i death knell. The Colonel hurried 01 our wedding, as pressiug business callee him to Virginia. My trousseau was be lng prepared, and all the arrangement: for my wedding wore going on, while 1 was the envy of half the young ladies o my acquaintance, all of whom admire* the handsome Colonel, so wealthy, dis tinguishod and handsome-and above all so talented and devoted. But my hear was far away, and after leaving the bm tie and stir, I would retire to my ow room, and thero lying on the lounge tho hot tears would oourse down m; checks, as if in pity they were strivin to wash out from my heart the memor of the loved and lost. One day I lay there thinking hoi bright and beautiful was all around mi and contrasting the outside world wit my own feelings. The sunlight lay i ?patines of bright gold" upon the flooi the sweet south wind cropt in throug the half opened shutters, passed noise lessly through the laoe curtains, an lifted tho damp hair from my heatc brow, seemed sent to whisper to me < one far away. I thought of Gorah and how vividly did I recall him. had his miniaturo, but had never dart to trust myself to open it ; but now thought I would take one last, lon look, and never see it more. I aros and unlocking tho casket which 001 tained that which should not have boc but was so preoioun to mc, took ll treasuro, and returning to the loung resumed ruy former position. What a tide of reooolleotionu rushi over me as I gazed upon those fei tures Thore was tho same smile, tl dark waving bair, the almost femioii sweetness of the mun in, softening a fat which the haughty expression of tl dark hazel eyes, and the broad bro would have rendered too stern. Hi long I lay there with riveted eyos, I o scaroo toll, but bitterly did I thoo real) the truth which the poet biogs, that sorrow's orown of sorrow is remomberi happier thinjfc" Rousing myself at la I laid the portrait apon the table, and as I did so, saw the morning paper which I had thrown there, and picking it up listlessly ran ray eyes down the columns It was just alter one of our great battles, and the paper was filled with accounts of the wounded and the dead ; but as I knew or thought I knew that his com? pany was io another part of Virginia, I had only a patriotic interest in the news of the battle. But suddenly my eye waa arrested and fixed, by this paragraph : "We regrot to learn that Capt. Gerald (?ray, of this city, was shot through the head and killed instantly, while gal? lantly I saw no more for, with a moan, I what do you think reader! I awoke, yes, awoke, and found myself in the piasza wh ere Gerald had loft me, and knew that it was a dreadful dream. The gay dancers were preparing to leave, the bright lights were partially extinguish ed, and my hair was damp with the heavy night dew, while Gerald, by my side, was speaking anxiously, "Sybil, why are you here alone, in this chill morning air? (for it wa? three o'clock,) come into the parlor and let me hear your decision." I did not rise to go, for I heard Col. Haugh ton's voice in the parlors but turning to Gerald, and laying both hauch in his, said, Hake both buds, Gerald, and since you oan have no rose without a thorn, take with them this thorn which has so often pierced your heart." I-but why repeat to you, dear reader, the old, old story, old yet ever fresh and sweet, ofton repeatod, yet never tiresome, when told by the lips vre, love. Suffice it to say that Ger? ald did not leave next day; and when six months alter preparations were really being made for my wedding, I was no listless, unhappy, fiancer, but tho moat quietly happy of all the gay girls who had gathered (days before) to celtbrate it. Not long after my wedding, there was a double ono, for Cupid, having found Col. Haughton, once vulnerable, sent an arrow to his heart from the dark eyes of the boautiful Maggie Arlington, uiy cousin and bridesmaid, and on the evening of their marriage, cousin Ethel rewarded thc untiring devotion of Clar? ance Everard, one of her numerous ad? mirers. Col. Haughton and his lovelj bride soon after their marriage, went ti Virginia (where he has a magoificeni estate on the James) to live. And now: have I ever regrettod the dream and its oonsequeuces ? Never since our mar riage. I have told it to Gerald, ant he replied,^laughingly, yet' earnestly "I am glad I left you to sleep iu th? piazza." -Gratitudo is the music of the heart when Its chords aro swept by the bree* of kindness.
