What In \\>?l<m Wealth ia something more than ?o?d, More than luxury or ease; Treasures jiever to be told May be found apart from thc*e. Men who great possession* own May be needy none tito less; Thev are rich, and they alone. Wno have stores ot nobleness. falaces are dreary domes; Fair demesne, emt deserts wild ( f there bo not happy homes. Gentle thoughts and manner* nuki. Trust me, though his lot bc small. And ho makes but slight pretence. Ho who lives at peace with all, Dwells in true magnificence. If vou'd prove of noble birth, ? beware of judgment? rash : Scorn to measure human worth By the sordid rule of cash. Gold and silver may depart, Proudest dynasties may fall; Ho who has the truest heart Is thc richest of us all. [onioiNAi.. ] EUES EARLY* A Tale of tie late War. av E. J. D. CHAPTER ILL When Mr. Early returned to the mansion, Ellen met him on the ve? randa and made him acquainted with her morning's adventure. He was greatly surprised at his daughter's imprudence, and displeased with tho old servant for permitting her to mount such a wild and unruly young horse in his atsence. But as Ellen continued her graphic account of the affair, and described tho trooper-liko manner in which she sped across the valley, charging the sleeping soldiers and making them grasp their guns and look for the enemy, the grave features of the old gentleman relaxed, a smile overspread his face, and ho exclaimed, "Oust like you; I always thought you would be tho heroine of some fairy tale. But are you dealing iu fact or notion, my daughter?" "Literal fact, father; and the half lias not been told;" and she weut on to speak of Lieutenant Gillespie; how he fearlessly threw himself before the frightened horse, and saved her life at the risk of his own, and then po? litely attended her home, aud what a generous and noble gentleman ho was. "Yes," said Mr. Early, "those Ca? rolinians are as generous and gallant as they are brave ?.nd reckless. I mot General Gregg to-day, and be appears to be a perfect embodiment of honor and gentility. Whatever may be their political heresies, one cannot help but admire them. I suppose ! the young officer is a rice-eater?" "I do not know about that, but be { is fond of strawberries and cream,"' said Ellen, smiling. "You treated lum, then?" "Yes, to the best I had; was sorry j I had nothing better for him." ' 'That was right. You cannot be j too grateful to him, for he certainly ! did you a groat favor. " ' fBut what can you mean by a rice-1 eater, father? I ?ever heard that ! term applied to a gentleman before." I "Oh! that is only a nick-name for the South Carolinians. Why didn't you invite tho young officer to stay to dinner?" "I did invite lum, but he was com- ] pelled to return to the picket post. You know those soldiers act under very strict orders. But he promised t o call again in the morning, on his return to thc camp, when you can form his acquaintance and thank him for his kindue to your foolish daughter." "I shall certainly meet him with pleasure, aud if he liad not been pleased to call, I .should have sought him out and convinced him of my gratitude. But HOW, let us have some dinner, my darling," he con? tinued, stroking Ellen's curly head, "for I am very hungry." And they went into the house, where, for the present, wo must leave them. On the following morning, by the time the sun darted his bright beams over tho valley, making the dew? drops on the wheat and clover look like so many glittering diamonds and j .spangles of silver, the soldiers were ! in motion. A company from the oamp passed the house on their way to tho picket post, and it was not long before the one that had been t here carno marching back through the valley, their polished rifles gleaming in the sun light. When it came up, the captain was seen to doff his hat to Lieut. Gillespie, as that officer opened tho gate and walked with a manly step toward the house. Ellen, her beautiful face radiant with happiness, met him at the steps and introduced him to her father, who stood at her side. Mr. Early gave tho young officer a cordial greeting, expressed his pleasure at meeting him, and thanked him for the important services he had render? ed to his daughter. Harry assured him that he had done nothing more than any other gentleman would have ?lone under the circumstances, and that he felt he was already amply re? warded by the pleasure of their ac? quaintance. He hoped they would not feel themselves under any obli? gations to him. "You will allow us to feel grateful, though, will you not, Lieutenant?" asked Ellen, in a serious mood. "Oh, yes," he answered earnestly, "if you will peinait it to lie recipro? cal." The old gentleman looked at his daughter, with a merry twinkle in his eye, which seemed to say, you did not expect that. She colored slight ly and gave Harry one of her sweet est smiles. The dignity, urbanity and iutelii genoe of the yonng Carolinian, marked by that modesty and good i sense which are the usual indications j of a highly cultivated mind aud well j developed ch- icter, completely won ! the heart of the amiable old Yirgi ! niau. Ellen hail the gratification of '? seeing that her father was as well pleased with Ids charming manners i and interesting conversation as she ? had been. Though he could not ; agree altogether with the young sol? dier, in his political views and prin I ciples, this difference of opinion did I not lessen his admiration of his fine j qualities of head and heart, his ? frankness and geniality, and then?ble t disinterestedness of his character. ? After a few hours had been spent in ; the most agreeable manner to thom j all, during which Ellen played some ! favorite pieces on the piano and sang j some sweet Southern songs, Harry took up his hat to retire, but Mr. j Early would not hear to such a thing, j He prevailed on him to remain to j dinner; and it -was not until late in I the afternoon that ho permitted him j to depart, with a request to visit them again soon, and as often as his duties would allow, to which the fair Ellen smiled assent. It is scarcely necessa? ry to remark, that after leaving the house, on his way back to the camp, he experienced a renewal of the sin? gular and agreeable sensations he had felt on Iiis first visit, but he still did not seem to surmise their true cause, and concluded that they would soon pass away. Harry had not been gone many moments from the mansion when Mr. Early exclaimed, reflectively, i "Ho is, indeed, a noble, a splendid yonng man. But I do not want you, daughter dear, to fall in love with him; for you know how haiti it would go with me to part from you, especi? ally these troublesome times." i "Why, dear father," cried Ellen, with unaffected surprise, "what are you thinking aliout? You are surely dreaming!" "Not a bit of it, my sweet pet. Stranger tilings have happened since Columbus discovered America. Your singular raid on that company of soldiers was ominous, I fear." ' 'I declare that is too much ; I must retaliate. I freely confess that I con? sider Lieut. Gillespie a very fascinat? ing young man, aud I esteem him very highly; but it seems his fascina? tions have as great au effect on your sex as on mine, for you seldom gave nie a chance to speak to him during the whole day," said Ellen, with a triumphant smile. Mr Early hvughod, gennl-li loved ly, and promised not to be so mo? nopolizing in future. He was about to begin again, when Ellen's plead? ing looks checked him, and he mere? ly said "Well, I will only think then." We will venture to guess his thoughts. He, no doubt, thought how unreasonable and selfish it was in him to suppose that no one was to share with liim his daughter's love, and that her sweet smiles and peer? less beauty were made only to glad? den the heart of a doting parent. Could th rose, with its delicate hues and rich perfume, live without the dew and sunshine? He knew there is many a flower that blooms "To blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert afr," but it could not lie the ease with lier. I Hers was a light that could not be bid under a bushel. The glorious gifts of Heaven, which she possessed, wero destined to brighten some hap? py home and fil! it with the highest of earthly bliss. And he was right in his thinking, according t<> our judgment. Harry soon lieeanio a frequent and welcome visitor at the Early mansion, availing himself of every spare hour from duty to spend in Ellen's charm? ing society. Mr. Early was often absent, and they were left alone to amuse each other, and had many pleasant rambles together over the beautiful grounds and along the peb? bly banks of the Massaponix. Ere they were aware of it. they worn in? dissolubly bound together by that triple and mystic chain which is as soit as velvet but stronger than iron. Warm and sincere friends from al? most their first meeting, their friend? ship ripened by degrees into ttie purest and deepest love-tho natural and inevitable consequence of the attrition of two such natures. How? ever reluctant they might have been to confess it, even to themselves, the fact was so; and tho decrees of fate are unalterable. Love may be blind to everything but its own interest, but all will admit that it is endowed with a lively consciousness, a sensi? tiveness keenly awake; and that it is as tenacious and persevering in its aims as any passion that controls tho human heart. One delightful May evening, Harry and Ellen were seated in a favorite nook on the veranda, enjoying the evening breeze, which was blowing gently and refreshingly from tho South. Mr. Early was sitting in the parlor, reading, and perfect quiet reigned within and around the man? sion. An occasional shout and strains of martial music were heai 1 in the camps of tho Confederates, whose fires could be seen in the distance. A brilliant full moon, like a silver ball swung in thc sky, hooded the beautiful landscape with its mellow light, tipping the hills with it? bright beams, and casting long grotesque shadows along the sides of the valley, j There was that deep, calm hush lu nature which tho shades of night alone can produce, inviting the heart to reflection and self-communings. The lovers, for such they now were, though they had not yet owned it to each other, were silent but not sad. lt was the pause of youthful, hope ful and loving hearts, too full of hap? piness for utterance. Harry was the first to break tho silence. Looking over the landscape, theu up into the skies, as if he would count the my ciada of stars that twinkled there, ! and theu iii to hi*, companion's beau- ! tifal face, bc said, with emotion, "Ellen, I need not tell you what j you already know-that I love you fondly and tridy; and I believe you love nie. Will you consent to be my wife, when circumstances will admit j of our union?" There was another pauso, and to Harry it seemed an age, during which the tumult of his emotions can be better imagined than described; for it is not in the nature of things for thc most sanguine lover to be entire? ly free from doubts, and the very! whole-souled character of the matter at issue makes him tremblo in sus? pense. "I cannot deny, Harry," said El? len, at length, "that I love you; and if father will consent, I will be yours, foudly hoping you will be ns'noble and generous in the fature ns you have been in the past." | And she put both hands in his. He folded her yielding form to his heart, and scaled their mutual vows with "the first kiss of love. " But we must I not intrude further. No third party I should listen to the sweetest prattle; of plighted hearts. There is an inner chamber in the temple of love into which none but those received and j commissioned by the presiding pries! ess should ever enter. But would the father give his con- ' seut? Could he resign his darling daughter, and permit her to wed the young Carolinian, whose home was j far away? It did not look very pro bable; and that would perhaps bethe ; sorest and most difficult job of all. : Their happiness could not be com-1 plete until that matter was settled, and all doubts removed ; and doter mining to decide it at once, Hurry i led Ellen, who little suspected his ' object, into thc parlor, and before ' she could put her little hand over his i month, or run away, he had asked the old gentleman to consent to their marriage at some future day. RT". : Early was uot unprepared for the question; he had noticed the inti? macy between them, and satisfied himself by inquiries of those who were acquainted with the young of- , fleer us to his character, social stand? ing, and prospects in life. He could not pul any obstacle in th? way of ! their happiness; but us the kimi old gentleman gave his cousent, Iiis feel? ings overcame him, and he burst into ?>ars. Ellen flew to Iiis sid?, wound her arms around his neck, and min? gled her tears with his. Tt was an affecting seen?'. Harry was greatly moved by this unexpected turn of matters, and stood by completely nonplussed, and for once in his life, at a loss what to do. His own eyes were beginning to moisten, though he never felt less like crying in his life. "There, now, that will do," said Mr. Early, unclasping his daughter's j arms, and placing her on a chair. "Excuse me, my children; J could not help it. May God bless you," and ho went out to walk on the veranda, and regain his composure. "Are you satisfied now, yon naughty boy?" said Ellen, smiling, with a bright tear trembling on each dark eye-lash. The rapturous terms of endear? ment in which the happy fellow re? plied, and how he felt, can only be imagined by those who have hud a like experience; and we hope ?ill others who are curious to know will be gratified some day. Again must the tender scene be veiled and shut from the vulgar gaze. Cesar, with Home's imperial tem? ples and palaces in sight, and the des- ; tiny ol his country in his hands, was 1 not happier than Harry was after that momentous evenings He had crossed tho Rubicon, that formidable barrier in the lover's path, and all was right. A future of unbounded joy and happiness spread itself out before him. Xor was Ellen less happy. A realization of love's sweet young dream was hers; and her spot? less maiden heart was fillet) with that deep, pure, ecstatic joy, which the . chaste and elevated mind alone can know, and which is felt in its tender? est and fullest rapture but once in a woman's life-time.
