A Woman's Question.
BY ADELAIDE A. PROCTOR.
Before I frust my Fate to thee,
Or place my hand in thine ;
Before 1 let thy Future give
Color and form to mino ;
Before I peril all for thee,
Question thy soul to-night for mo.
I break all ?lighter bonds; nor feel
A shadow of regret;
Is there ono link within tho Past
That bolds thy spirit yot ? .
Or is thy lilith as clear r.ud f.-oe
As that which I can pledge to thee?
. Docs Micro within thy dimmest dreamt
A possible Futuro shine,
Wherein thy li.o could henceforth bro
Un touched, unshared by minc?
If EO, at any paiu or costj
0, tell me, beforc all is lost !
Look deeper still ! If thou canst feel,
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept a portion back,
While I have staked the whole;
Let r:o false pity ?.parc thc blow,
But In true mercy tell mo so.
Is thcte within thy heart a neod
That minn cannot fulfill ?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still ?
Speak now-lest at some future day
My whole life wither and decay !
Lives there within thy nature hid
Thc demon spirit Change,
Shedding a passing glory still
On nil thinjift now and strange ?
Il may not be thy fault alone
But shield my heart against thy own !
Conldst thou withdraw thy band one da;
And answer to my claim,
That Fate, and thati?fcday's mistako
Kot thou-had breTto blame?
Some sooth thoirconscionce thus ; but tl
0, surely, thou wilt warn mo now!
Nay answer not-I dare net boar !
The words would come t>o IH?C;
Yet, I w.Ould st ure theo nl^amuorse
Sn, comfort theo my Fates; . .
Whatever on my heart would fall
Remember, I would risk it all !

Ile went in, and sho^told him- what hei
thoughts bad been, and be agreed with hu

speculations were little to his taste, indeed
i: was ahnest strange that Lc loved Lucia nt
a'! ; for, l!iuogh thi.y were young and ga? to
gether, beltways were not his ways, or hn

naturally; and thc effort to keep ap to hei
standard, though that vt ht noisu vi y high
not infrequently bored him. Tu night stu

sud over to Kim Snatches of her favorit*
poems', which ltn scarCdfy heard ; but then hi
liked to watch thu color coming into hei
cheek?, and tho li^ut kindling in ker .dirk
gray eyes lill they looked luminous.
W'bep he went away see said n little prayer
thanking God in it. for making hc-r so happy.
Then she slept nil night, dreaming Sf only
pleasant-sights nv.d- soundsyaud awaked, thc
first day of May, to a tragedy. Shame and
sorrow had knocked-at her door at last, and
had come in.
She found on her plate, nt breakfast, a note
iu her father's writing, which she opened care
ludsly enough, thanking he had written it lo
tull her that he was called away from horne
on s ?md unexpected bittiness. She wa* used
10 such attentions fit.m him, for her motlier
was'dead, and bc und she were alone in thc
world. Hut an awfijl chanqc came over br r
faco as she read. It ?cerned lo her as it" she
were turning to stone. For this was nu ordi
nary absence. Her father was pone, not for
a day, or a wrck ; gone into hiding, hover to
conic back. He was thc president of thc lit
tlc country bank lhere in Byefield; and hith
erto no name iu town or country had "stood
11 gher than that of Jared Cromyn. Kvery
one had thought him so good andso sure that,
to his private caye, widows and orphans had
intrusted their ail, never dreaming of asking
olher security than his carob. And now, it
seemed, all that had been intrusted to bim
was swallowed np in some awful vortex. He
wiotc to littcia, iu a sort of passionate des
pair, that he was ruined. He had used these
private funds in some speculations of his own
-bubbles which had buist, and loft him no
resource but a flight, which he would not,
could not, ask hor to 6hare. The kindest
thing"he could do for her would be, he felt,
just to take himself out of her way.
She read the words over and over again ;
slanned by them al first, their meanies grow
ing upon her by degrees, till r.he came face to
lace with awful certainty. All her world lay
in ruins about ber; brr sun bad set ; her
star fallen from Heaven. Y.'bat should she
do ? In this crisis the real strength of her
nature came out. She did not sit down to
mourn, fche put on bur things and went
straight to a lawyer, in whom thc knew it
would be safe to confide-asomewbat younger
man than her father, but his iirme-'t friend.
She handed him thc lotter, aud waited till ho
had read it through. Then she asked, with
a calmness of voice and manner which sur
prised SquireEitabrook into admiration o? her,
,s Did you know about ii before ?"
. " Nut a word.:)
" Ja ?here anything that can bo dono V

he has Siled, ?nd can't pay them. He needn't
have ruaawaf tought not to, for that matter :

He waited a moment, watching tho startled

atty tv'tir.i afc.: ward, it was J->r thc loss o', a 1
i Jo! cut down ;,nd broken, of which this maa
was but the ff?grhects.
Four weeks after that she sat dawn alono in
her room-t little room, which she had hired
in thc house of a kindly, good lempOred neigh
bor. whom she could trim, t i be neither intru
sive cr unfeeling, and set herself to look h' r
new life m thc face. Father, lorvr, home,
bright dreams, happy spring-;ime of youth
nil were (.'one. At eighteen sim wasAltteriy
alone in the world-alone, aodjwijth fer own
way lo make. She reviewed her rcsottrees,
and found only ber need?e, that one bright,
tiny shaft, with which*to ii^'aL her world's
battle. She bad iriven upai!-no^ she had
only to go on ! Was it so eisy to do right,
to bo good, to live a true life, as she n*ed to
think ? How far back in thc pas: I hat- " used
to" seemed. A fee?tig of utter .desolation;
against which she had struggled successfully
before, overcame ber now, aud she bur?t inlo
a passion of bitter tears.
The nex| morning found her feverish and
almost, ill, but she tvould nof. give un. To her
brave, resilient nature, work, she felt)? would
be tito best medicine. And she was not long j
in iiniing il. She developed as genuine a
talent, for needle work 113 some other women
have shown for art ; and before six months
had passed no wardrobe in Byefield was 0011
sidered fashionably complete ibat was not of
her dtsigring. She took up her burden so
bravely and cheerfully that no one thought
of pity, or guessed that she needed it: Nor,
after that first uight in ber new homo, did
she ever stop lo pity horsilf.
She nut Charley Frye uow and ?hen, ,and _
alwa3;s frankly and cordially ; Vat he rather !
avoided such meetings when it was possible.
I thiiik there was a look in her own clear eyes
which made him asbumed of his own worldli
ness. Whatever his emotions werc, Lucia, at
any rate, had ceased lo concern herself with
them, lier trouble was a stepping stone upon
which she mounted from girlhood inlo woman
hood ; and it would have taken something
more lhau a silky mustache, and a gallant air
to have troubled her strong, true heart now.
Sha wonl on her own woy with steady un I
ewerving dignity ; respecting her own self 60 !
much that every ono else wu3 constrained to
follow her example.
Still tho five years, which took lier from
eighteen to twenty-three, oassed slowly, aud
left her at their close ieeling as if youth lay J
a long way behind ber. In these yea
had made one . friend, if sincere regar
plight..intimacy, can be held :o conj
friendship. Squire Estabrook hid nevi
go'yten hen. She always stood ia his m
bis ideal of what a woman might J?

pipers often, and manifested in'Jiany w

Some* one did f-r those graves ail that she

bent at their feet. Sho never found uiiy one

that a time would come whoa sho should ?u

Sho had bepn in tho habit of going there
at sunset; but one August morning she rose
early, and went wiiilo the sun was just rism.?.
As she drew near she heard tho clip of .gard
ening shears. Somo one was trimming the
hedge. A step farther on revealed Squire
Estabrook busy at his work. She went on
quietly and stood beside him, watching him a
little while at his task. When bo waa .done,
she said, in th . low, gentle voice, wuicb was
one of her greatest charms, .

j ' The Rochester (N. Y.) Unionen comment
j ing upon Che low and contemptible conduct
of Gen. Griffin in refusing to permit 'lae ob
j sequies of the lamented General Albert'Syd
! ney Johnston in Galveston, .gives the follow
I ing tribute to his worth and memory :
Sidney Johnston was a great soldier
I probably thc ablest in the old army at the
j time the rebellion broke out. He was a Ken
I tuckian, but he 'had endeared himself to the
Texaus by resigning his commission in the
United States service, in 1831, and entering
that ot' the Republic-having been the Adju
tant General and the senior Brigadier Gene
nd of ita army, subsequently ila Secretary of
War, then, before returning to the regular
army,, the colonel, of its. iiret regimeut raised
for our war against Mexico, and lastly, its
champion in the attempt at, secession. The
people of thc South had the same regard for
him that they now have for all their public
men who led them in support of the cause
; for which he died. They will always enter
tain that feeling, and their children alter them
for generations will have it imbued in them.
Individual' treason, which proceeds from a
I base motive, can be made odious ; but tho
collective treason of compact millions, occu
pying a vast section of country, with all the
elements of empire in and about thom, and
wao simply seek to assert the theory ol' self
government, for themselves to bo found in thc
Confederate Constitution, leaving other simi
larly situated p3oplc to govern fllcaiselves in
their own way, can never be made odious
newer*. 'Tlmse involved in it will make it
respectable ?in spile, of all human, power. ,Xbjc
spreading millions-of Southern offspring will
never ndmit that their fathers did aught.that
should-bring the blush tu.their check. .The
names of thc prominent actors .in-the rebcl
