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,

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.

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.
