PEC 0'$HAU0HNE$$Y* jCONCIiTOE?.l I found him in a splendidly ap? pointed house, in a fashionable neighborhood, a shrivelled, palsied oldman, an invalid chained to his seat by his dressing-room fire, while his gay wife fluttered abroad, and scattered the money he had, hoarded so grimly. The poor wretch was glad to see me. When I had talked to him awhile I found that there was 1 not a pauper in the streets more utter? ly friendless than he. He spent his days in a handsome jail, and my lady was os flinty-hearted a keeper as ever turned key on a felon. Sitting over his fire, with n lamp shaded to so dim a light that we scarcely could see one another's faces, while the carriages rolled past tinder the windows, and echoes of thunder? ing knocks at gay hall doors reached us, he told me the secrets of lils life Rince we last had met. I think it was because I saw death plainly written in his miserable face that I listened so tolerantly to his whimpering complaints of Lady Humphrey. Her ill-treatment of him, which he cursed so bitterly, dated back to the day after their marriage, when he discovered that, instead of allying himself with enormous wealth, he hod manged a penniless adven? turess, who was deep in avery slough of debt, and existing upon the brink of exposure and ruin. Never had there been a day of domestic peace between them. She hod treated him like a prisoner from the first, taken possession of his money and his keys, and even coiTupted faithful Jacko, whom she had pressed into her ser? vice. She spout a gay life abroad, wliile ho poor, creature, could hardly crawl across his chamber alone. He was savagely jealous of tho people amongst whom she spent her time, the friends and admirers who loung? ed about the drawing-room ; the let? ters and presents she received tor? mented him. Thero was a certain casket, it seemed, which she paraded before his eyes, but of which lie had never seen tho key. And the poor wretch, brooding in his solitude, panted for a view of the interior of that casket, as though his very life depended on what it might contain. I sat with him late that night; I promised to come back and see him again, and I did so, always at night, and invariably finding Lucretia from home. In truth, I did not want to see lier. The more I heard of her doings, tho more horribly strong grew a doubt; which had risen within me on the night of my first conver? sation with Giles Humphrey. It clung to me night and day, aud so nearly did it approach conviction at times, that it had like to drive me insane. I ventured to say to my uncle one evening: "Could it have possible that it was Lady Fitzgibbon who committed the robbery at liallyhuckamore on that memorable Christmas eve?" But he stared at mo in amazement, and said stupidly "Wliy, don't you remember, it was the little O'Shanghnessy who did that piece of business? She told ou herself by dropping a bracelet on tho step of her door. Little good her ill gotten gains have done her, I hear, for tho old father died wretched!v. the barrack of a castle is pi ven up to the rats, and the wench herself is drifting about, the devil knows where!" Bo it was no use talking in this way to Giles Humphrey. Yet I came to see him again and again, hanging about him in the vague hopo that something might some day arise be? tween him and his wife which might chance to bring relief to my unhappy state of mind. How bitterlv did I nojw regret tiiat the matter - of the robbery had not been more closely investigated at the time that it oc? curred! Vain regrets at the end of five weary years! . . One evening Lyren* to visit Culos Humphrey, illy lady was at the opera, the servant told me. Going tip stairs I found my uncle, as usual, alone, but chuckling in ecstacies of ferociousdelight. He dangled a bunch o| keys before jns eyes. V nepliewr* he said, "I have got her keys! If she is cunning, I am cunning. If she has robbed mo, I will rob her. Ha, ha, ha! Lend me your arm till I hobblo to yonder closet of hers and seo what my lady keeps iu her casket." I tried to prevent him, but I might as well have tried to hold fire in my hands. He would have crawled across the room on all fours if I had not assisted him. Ho found the casket, fitted with a key, and opened it. The first thing that met my oyes was a bracelet that I know too well. "This," said I, taking it up, "is the memorable bracelet that was found on the door-step?" Ho took it from me, looking stupid? ly puzzled. "No," said ho, "she had ou that bracelet to-night. How is this?" "Stop!" cried I; "did yon not tell mc that a fellow of that bracelet had been stolen ; also a chain of pearls?" I went on, diving further into the recesses of the casket, and drawing out each trinket a3 I named it. 4 'Also a diamond necklace! Giles Hum? phrey, how did these come into your wife's possession?" His jaw dropped, and he stared blankly before him. "By heavens, you are right!" he mumbled. "Little O'Shaughnessy was wronged. My lady has been the traitor all through!" I cannot tell you what I thought, nor describe the mixturo of ecstacj and agony that racked nie for the next few moments. 1 was roused from my revery by a shriek from Giles Humphrey. He had found some letters for which it seems he had been looking, and he was foam? ing at tho mouth. At the same moment that 1 heard his shriek, there was a sound in the adjoining chamber; immediately tho door flew open, and Lady Hum ? phrey herself appeared. It was the first time I had seen her face to face since the olden times. She was regally dressed, and hand? somer than ever, but with a coarser, bolder beauty. She had just return? ed from tiio opora. So intensely in? terested had we been in our occupa? tion, that wo had not heard the stop? ping of the carriage, nor the knock at the hall door. What she might have said, or what she might have done, I know not, but tho frown had not timo to darken on her face, before j her miserable husband staggered to? wards her, flung the crumpled letter, which he held, in her face, and foll down at her feet in a lit. I lifted him upon his bed, and, ringing loudly, despatched a messen? ger for a doctor. Then the wicked wife and I stood lookingat oneanothei across the dying man, whilst we chafed his hands, and did what we could to help him. Even at that moment I could not refrain from ac? cusing her. Sho saw tho jewels lying scatterod on the floor, and was pro pared for au attack. "Lady Humphrey," I said, "in thc name of Heaven, and in thc presence of death, I conjure you tc tell me truly if it were you who com mittod the robbery at Ballyhucka more Hall five years ago?" "Ay," said she, hardly, lookinp straight at me across tho bed. "Ii was I who did it, certainly. If 3-01 had had the sense to ask me th? question four years ago, after mj marriage with him," indicating hoi prostrate husband, "I should havi told you tho truth as freely as I tel it to you now .1 wanted money a that time, and I took it." "And threw the blame upoi another?" I said. She shrugged her shoulders. "Om must do something," she said. "I would have been inconvenient to nv just then to have had it known." "But iu tho name of Heaven," '. said, "explain. Was it you who cou ferred with Jacko in the passage Then the black gown-tho pocket handkerchief-?" Sho lifted her eyebrows, and smile? in derision. "Fool! "she said. "As if one womal could not imitate another's dress fo five minutes if it suited her purpos to do so. As if ono woman could 110 pick up another's pocket-handkei chief and drop it agaiu if she st fancied!" My story. Tom, is nearly ende now. It only romains for me to te! you how I sought for Peg, and hoi 1 found her. For a whole year searched in vain, discovering ri clew to her whereabouts. Cast! Shanghnessy was deserted, and n one knew whether Sir Pierce's daugl ter was living or demi. The poe people round her old home erie when they spoke of her, but oui knew she had gone "abroad." Ii formation bitterly vagne. "Abroad might mean anywhere over the wid< wide world. ? Tho December of the year of ni search I spent in Paris, wanderin day and night through its opt streets and hidden purlieus, seekir eagerly for a glimpse of that one fa? which my eyes yearned to behold, had, somehow, got a fancy that 1 Paris I should lind her; and 111 Par I searched with unflagging energ; early find hite, for three long, dreary weeks. Ai lost, when I thought I was known in every street and alley, and knew every face I met, off by heart, the" hopeful spirit fell away within me, and I gave up the struggle 'tn despair. Very sorrowful I was, Tom, walking along the streets on Christmas eve. Coming to my hotel just at twilight, I saw the bright glow of a fire shining cheerily in oue of tho windows of a large old-fashioned house quite close to my habitation. Trees surrounded this old house, and gave it an appearance of retire? ment, though the window of which I speak looked out upon the road. I wonder what it was that impelled me to cross over and read upon a brass plate by the lamp-light an announce that this was an establishment for tho education of "Jeunes demoiselles?" I wonder what it was that impelled me afterwards to look in at that win? dow, and soe Peg sitting at tho lire in a cosey little room all alone? She was staring very thoughtfully at the flames, as if looking at past Christ? mas eves between tho bars. Of course Peg was a teacher in this I school, and I had walked up and down before her door every miserable day for thc past threo weeks. Of course I knocked at the door, and startled her reveries by introducing myself. Ay, there she was indeed, my very own little Peg, only paler and thinner, aud sadder and sweeter looking. You may imagino the rest, O Tom ! knowing as you do that little Peg is Mrs. Humphrey. I did not deserve ; it, but I was forgiven. Giles Humphrey, you know, isdead, ! aud his wife still contrives to live in j splendor. She shuns us and we shun her. When, dear Tom, shall we see ? you at Ballyhuckamore again? A I.clin ?o Ulli Arp. Pomeroy, of tho La Crosse (Wis? consin) Democrat, has addressed tho following letter to Bill Arp, down in Georgia: 1 ?ill, there never was so ungrateful ;i j ? opie as you Southern gentlemen ai r and now after all has been done for you, to seo letters written by you ; so full of insinuations, is too much. The fault of all this lies with you. Wern't you folks most dogoned I wicked before the war? Honest In? dian, now. Bill! Didn't you get proud, and is not pride a sin? And didn't you own negroes down there, aud larrup them continually to raise cotton for New England nabobs to spin-sugar to put in our coffee, rice to eat in our puddings, aud tobacco to chew and squirt over meeting? house floors? And didn't you have botter houses, better clothes and bet? ter horses, liner grounds, better fur? niture andmore lund than we had? We are all Christians in the North, j We felt that all these line things was I dragging your souls down to hell, j We didn't want you to rest in brim- j stone, being in torment, so wo tried to corro? you in Abraham's bosom. Abraham was a great and good man, who died some time since, as we read of somewhere. And thou, Bill, you kept your nig? gers too fat; our factory operatives grew jealous. And our girls went down thcro to teach your girls some? thing, and fell in love with your boys, and forgot to come home. We felt that you were wicked. We didn't want you to go to hell. All the line things you had were leading you away from salvation, so we wont and sent Butler, and Curtis, and Banks, and Washburn, and Steele, and Ho vey, and Prentice, andliurlbut, and several of tho elect of our Christian Churches down there to win you out of thc jaws of hell by withdrawing your fine furniture, such :is pianos, books, pictures, rosewood bedsteads, marble tables, silver ware, horses, cotton and all such plunder to a place J ol' safety. You were wrong to engage in war very wrong to do that thing. New England alone could conquer you. Why, Bill, if you had a billion of mil? lion of dollars, and enough nice fur- ! nitnre to furnish all of the houses in the country, New England could steal it in four years; and if New I England Abolitionists could not. the 1 Kansas saints and Western children | of Christian Abolitionists could. Hnvn't wo prayed for you in nearly all our churches? And havn't wo ? told you bettor? You wanted to get I out of the Union! Ah, Bill, States once in can never get ont! This is ? what we always told you. All these j friends of the great martyr told you j so. We wanted to keep you in. We fought you at Antietam, Pea Ridge, Gettysburg, Shiloh, Mobile, Port Donelson, and the devil only knows J where, to keep you in the Union. ? And then we sent Christian mission? aries down there, Bill, to rescue your valuables aud remove them North for safety, you know? And wc burnt down ye mr houses, and wo took what food your wives and children liad, and we sent your cotton to market for you, you know, Bill! And we sent 3,000,000 of men to war to keep you dumed fellers in this happy Union. God only knows how many of you folks we killed, for one Northern man was always good for live South? ern men, to say nothing of mules, niggers and keepsakes. And, Bill, wo have stepped into some little debt on your account. You see, Bill, cotton was too cheap. Tobacco was too cheap. Bice was too cheap. Sugar was lou cheap. Gold and silver were too cheap. Happiness was toi? cheap. Our national debt was too small. It was costing you too much to keep that negro boarding-home of yours, BO we remedied that by killing ?our negroes or giving them thc onelit of liberty, rags, old bones and Abolitionism. And wc made ?our cotton more valuable. And, lill, we enhanced the price or every? thing for you, and made a demand for carpenters and '?ouse-builders down there. Didnt Curtis save your cotton? Didn't Butler save your gold and protect your women? And didn't Banks save the lied River property? And didn't 218 of our generals get as rich as mud from finding things your folks liad lost? And is not there houseful af tar houseful of keepsakes up North, picked up in the woods and wood-piles by our army chap? lains aud our moral boys, while you were trying to kill those of our folks who wanted to visit you and keep your souls from hell? Bill, you are ungrateful. And then didn't wo keep this war up till the States were all back in the Union? Aud didn't we go to war and keep your dogoned States from going out of tho Union? And didn't you want to get out of tho Union? And didn't we act magnanimous and, soon as the war was over, unite in saying you were out of the Union ? Really, Bill, it seems as if you had it all your own way! This war had proved a success. A brilliant success. We wore bound to push it through in ninety days, and we should but for your stubborn? ness. AU wo wanted was your nig? gers, your cotton, mules, furniture, silver ware, and such old tricks, which j you folks could buy better than we j could, for you had moro money! It was wrong to keep slaves. Bill, but it j was not wrong to steal. Tliis war was to preserve tho Union. Every? body said so. The Union has been preserved-so much for us. .Yow, brethren, let usjiray! Your States are kept out of the Union, which is still preserved! You wanted reconstruction. We'll recon? struct you! Your folks aro verv wicked. Bill. God punishes wicked? ness. Clod's agents live in the North exclusively. Bill! And we'll let yon back in the Union, which hus been preserved, when we get ready. First , you must hunt up the balance of your property and give it to some of om? irent and good agents or generals. Then you must move out of your houses, that is, what are left, and let tho niggers in. And you must give the niggers your plantations. And, Bill, you must give them all your pro? perty, and thou support the innocent cause of the lato war by manual la? bor. And you must let the niggers vote, for they are wanted for Repub? lican Congressmen, Senators and sieh. And you must ignore your per? sonal and war debts, and not pay them upon the basis of honor. And you must help us pay for licking you. j And, ore you ?lo this, you must have \ all your property taken from 3'ou, so , it will be easy. We are a just, ami magnanimous people in the North! We are liberal and brotherly. Wc ! want peace and harmony! THE ITALIAN MAUXAII.T.ATSE. - The j following is a literal translation of the famous Italian war hymn just composed in Italy by M. Brofferio, at tho request of the Minister of War, and sung on every popular occasion in Italy: "Lot the bright Hash of thc sword awake the throne and tho people. Italians! to tho battle-field! Your mother country calls you! Form j'our battalions to the roar of the can? non, helmet on head, and steel in hand. Long livo the King of the Alps to the sea; of the Po to the Ticino; e>f the soil of Sicily to tho land of Tuscany! Arise, oh Latin people! Arise and conquer! It is God who wills it." From Charleston.
