The civil wars which have distracted f>pain bo long have often given rise to soinc of the most romantic incidents and scenes of real life that have received the sanction of history. Its sons, generally bred to the use of arms, seempfl nnwnnnii.ri i , mnc.-n \>IUIU* , ing the implements of watfare, ami never | more happily situated than n lien engaged! in foreign or civil wars. The events of our utory occurred during thU period of Span ish history, while her people were often arrayed one against the other. It was just nightfall in tho district of Ar ra^on, when a way?worn and weary sol dier, with only his good and well tried Toledo blade hy his side, sank down lie f.. ?i.A .1 t .....c i..c u?jui ?ji n peasnni s cot, Inn much I *\liaust(.'d even Jo ask for ilie r?fr?fchtn<*hl ! lie so iriucb needed. Scarcely a moment i olapsod, however, before tlie iulinliitai.ts of (lie cottage discovered liis condition, and I wore busy in administering to bis wants.] Tlie sturdy peasant who was master of the ' cot', held a cup of wine-to his lips, while a ; lie le J, an young and lender girl, not quite btaomed to womanhood, swathed a bandage about I lie bleeding arm, and bathed Jiis temples with cool spring water. Tlio soldier could ouly look bis thanks, smiling languidly upon thosa who were tending him. His wound wan deep, and it bled so profusely thai the cottager was obliged to raise him in his sturdy arms and bear him inside the cottage, for he could uo longer support himself. The little house hold was all a bustle and confusion to pre pare proper aid and .cumfort for the woun ded soldier. The matron was busy here, the father there, and the daughter in an other place. lie was carefully watched ! HW that night; but are the next sun liad set the 6o!dinr bad become delirious, and the wound presented lo the eyes of the inexperi enced cottagers the most fearful appear ance, and reasoning from this they fenred that it must prove fatal. But the truth was I bat the fever tliat now rages in his veins was more from fatigue, loss of blood and consequent suffering, tban from tlio imme diate character of the 6word wound that had disabled bis arm. Dsy*after day passed, and still the sol dier lay in a half dormant state of lethargy, the fever alruggling with hi* constitution, one day seeming as though it must con quer trim, Hhd tbe next perhaps growing more feebly in its influence. Imorene, the daughter of tbe cottager, was untiring In Iter delicate attention to the stt anger, smoothed h? pillow,%bathed hi# brow, or moistened his parched lips. True, ho ?>ecmed scarcely to realiso these kipdnes&e*, yet a smile sometime i lit up his pqle nnd hag gard features while Jmorene was by hip side. W; A strorg constitution and Totllh at length prevailed over tho fever, and day by day (ho *o!dier gradually improved, until nt last he wns able once more to go Abroad. And now, attended by that gentle, child J ike forhr tbat bail watched him through a jodiAtio fever. th¬Uier wan J through dells, musical with bubbling foun- i tains and fragrant flowers; ami here they i would sit down together, and lio would tell , her such slorries of true love, that Itnorcnc ' was lost in bewilderment al his eloquence, ' and dwelt with rapture upon the melody of his fine voice. Through all hi;; character there ran a j tender melancholy, and he half scorned tin" very words he often himself uttered, but she knew little of human nature, and noth ing of the world, and could not see this. A discriminating observer would have thought him a man disgusted with the world, and yet ho was seemingly too youmr for such .1 conclusion, lie might be twen- \ ty-six?not older. There was some siugu- ] lar reason why he should still remain at the collage, now that he had been well enough : to have walked a dozen leagues if neces sary. It was not love that kept him there, for though Imorene loved him so dearly j that every look and motion betrayed ihe , anguage of the heart, yet the soldier, hough uniformly most gentle, considerate ' ind attentive to her, never spoken of love, i Months had passed since the wounded ! oldier first sat himself down l-efure the ' i >easants do^>r. His purse bad been suf j inicu iu eiiauic nun 10 pay amply ; or the shelter lie had enjoyed, and indeed 0 he cottager thought so agreeable and profi aUlo a visitor was quite a god send ,to the | 1 louse. One da}' a stranger passed that | k ny ; the soldier accosted him, and was for 1 long while alone with him, deeply ?*u? * ;agcd in conversation; and when the trav- \ { ler had passed on he was moody and ' houghtful,until h! last he told 1 more-no and ; , cr laiuer that he tiiusl hid them farewell, n<l once mere join in llio noise ami bustle f the limes. 'Oh. shall we see you no more ?' asked morcne, with heaving breast and i*. t re mu ms voice which startled the soldict. 'I must go to my friends and home ; I m needed there,' he answered. 'Perhaps you will some time return this ny,'suggested the cottager, 'and then we lay sit down once more together.' 'I trust it may be so,' was tlio reply of the ' ow thoughtful guest. At that moment his eye fell upon those j. r Imoreno, and starting as though an nr ?w had pierced his side, he said : ' j 'Come, gentle one, let us walk once more : irough those loved and long to be rcmem- ! ?rcd scenes before 1 bid all farewell' A secret seemed to reveal itself to the ! * ildier as they now sat together beneath a 11 ink where oft t lic-y had sat before fori >nvs (ojTftluT. lie read now the heart of! ie penile one l>y his side, and placeingr nn 1 in about her waist, and looking into her ntle ?ice, lie won from her tlio secret, i nd then, us if his vliole fueling? changed > ?old lier that he was unworthy, of her nder affection ; that his had been a wild id reckless life, and his hands in battle id often been uplifted to spill his fellow ood; licit lie had traveled mucb, and en hardened by contnct with the world ; id, ;u fact that he could never make so ?eet and gentle a being happy. She had 110 reply for his eloquence hut a lgle tear-drop. The soldier, while at the cot had said tie of himself, as it regarded his foxner e, while Imoren? and her parents were o considerate huiuhlo as they were, to, ek for that information which it was cvi nt llic soldier did not desire to communis te.

At length I hey came in sight of Val-r ontia, will) its Moorish gates, its many tur rets, places, and public buildings. But hero they wore K>bt in (ho labyrinth of slieet?, and giddy mazes and turmoil of tin* city. They had conic without any definite pnrpose, and were now entirely destitute of means. Want stared them in the face, until finally by Pome good Fortune the fath er engaged his services to ? nobleman as a ganh-ner, and so arranged the contract that it afforded him good aecomoda" ions for both himself and linorene. Time passed on ; the father's skill began to manifest to the lordly owner's eyes, lie was pleaded, and visited hia servant's cot oimi 111 mo garden, when iinor ene and lier father Jiveil. The owner of these lands and gardens was astonished when lie found blooming within his palace walls a flower su beautiful as llic peasant, ijirl- lie was spellbound by the exquisite beauty of features, the delicacy of her bear ing and the sylph like grace of her form. The father was surprised at the earnestness jf Don Moranzo's questions concerning his diild, and perhaps a troubled thought crossed 1m mind when his noble master urnud away from the cottage door and walked back to the palace. Don Moranzo had a b;id name m Valcn ,ia ; he wasadarknn-1 moody-spirited man, >ne whom few liked to cross, still fewer to e intimate with. His principal claim to .lie honor in which he was held in the dis ,i ict and court was owing to his immense .vcalllt, dishonestly enough obtained, no loubt but often purchasing for him what itheiwise could not have obtained. When we say that Don Moranzo vas oved by none, and feared bv nearh* nil ? ? lave told his character. The only friend llie peasant (tomanls and lis daughter had made in Valentin, was a riar of tlio convent of S.inla Clara ; lie ratched over Imorene as carefully as if she iad been his only daughter. A few ntuiilhs after the introduction of inorene to Don Moranzo, he had, in his ileness, planned the dishonor of his beau iful dependent. All his advances had been let with such calm but firm disregard, that t first he. was disconcerted ; but suddenly ie fattier was taken ill, and sicknessadvance il with fearful rapidity, until dvath came to ie relief of his suffering*. Tliorc was something about the sudden ealh of her father that struck the priest as ivfUTious. no ha<l very suddeuly died, i n manner that to It is experienced eye seined lo indicate that he was poisoned. Vhether this was intentionally dono,or therwise, he knew not, nor could he con ?ctUF4.V8ave by the inference and yet the.e ras a lurking suspicion in h:s mind that >on Moranzo knew something more of the ard?mor's decease than ho wished to ack owledge.

The enamored cavnlier. however, at once suspected whither Imorcne had gone, and soon sat:sfied biimelf of tl.e truth of his suspicions. The priest was summoned, and I directed to deliver hcv up, but this he per- ' eniptorily refused to do. Nor would he! hoar of bribery or any offer at remunera j lion, if he would return the girl to what uio cavalier enllcd licr borpc. At last, finding that this mode of attack availed ' him nothing, the cavalier unmarked his i soul, and told the priest that unless she wan | returned to him before night, he would j surely take his life ; and thnt he would not j be thwarted. The priest knew full well the revengeful chnracta of the man, and, though unmoved., by his threats vet he thought him that he might make some arrangements by which j ai si e< 01 01 di TH fil lie could prevent any violence and yet pre-j in serve Imoreno. lie therefore said : 'One way, an J one way only, will ? de liver r.p to you this maid.'

Poorly read, in the ' '"tory of govern ment, and n poor student of human na tuie, mupL.be he - who, in the face of the wnifire which the Black-Iiepublicnn party lias been for years waging upon the insti tutions of the South, could not have fore told the disruption of tlx? Union, qnd the disasters that might attend that disrup tions. Now that w? have entered upon civil war, let those who would read his* Lory of the future, appeal to the samo 'stern lopjic of events.' What does it tearh 1 Wo t>pen 1; by its inst rut icons. It teaches that, if Abraham Lincoln jhall persist in attempting to carry out .he policy indicated in his reply to the Virginia commissioners, the fifteen slaves vale?, numbering more than 12,000,000 jf people, will unite in, a gommon cause j( defending their firevides and, horres. It teaches that every man, within their imits, caphble of wielding a awpjd or eveling a rifle, will Inke the field, de? ermiued, like their revolutionary fathers )f old, -tp repel, the invader, or to die in lie attempt. It teaches that, sooner or later, the fate >f every northern army seut within their )onJeis, will inevitably be that which >vertook those of the British tyrant which vpre lapsed on our coast to j;iv?t on our orerathers the chains of slavery. It teaches that the armies of the North nay m?et with occasional triumphs ; may >urn a few cities an,cl devastate, a few ields , may rob the southern, mother and ler tender children of their peaceful and [uict homes; may here and there incite ervile insnrroctions ; but su cesses like ..coc ? hi oniy provose the wrath o^ leaven, and raise up for the Sou'.lv 'armiea o fight their battles for them.' It leaches that at least, after one, three, eyen or ten years shall have passed away, ,fier oura;mies have vanished before the ever-failing aim of the southern rifle, the rrcsi3tible charges of southern cavalry, nd the terrible ravages of a sq^hprn !i nate ; after myriads of northern home3 ave been made desolate, and poverty and isti ess shall bfgin *yo stall; abrortd in the treets of our cities and village^ then the carts of our people will yearn for peace, nd penpe will com?. It teaches that the independence of the 'onfederate States will be recognizcd, and lat the North will be compelled at last to rant that which, in according with the iiril of American liberty, it should cheek ily conepdo. Such are the teachings of tlio sfern log of events. \Ye put thom upon tecord id invite all who read this article to re ember predictions founded upon them, hp authority of the federal government ill ne~. er again be established within the nits of the seceded States. The peoplp those States will never again recognize at authori'y voluntarily, nor can they be mpt llcd to do so by force.
