Do you know my sweetheart, sir* She has fled ami gone away ; I've Tost my love, pray tell tue Have you seen her pass to-day ? I Dewy blue-bells are her eyes ; (lohleu corn her waving hair; I Her cheeks are of the sweet blush rose; Have you seen this maiden fair? White lilies are her neck, sir, .And her breath the eglantine; Iler rosy lips the red carnations, touch is she, this maiden mine. The light wind is her laughter, The murmuring brooks her song, Her tears, so full of tender pity, In the clouds are borne along. The sunbeams are her smiles, The leavis her footsteps light; To kiss each coy flower into life Is my true love's delight. I will tell you who she is, And how all things become Iter, Bend now, that I may whisper? My sweetheart's name is Summer." IDELE'S TRIAL. A party "f tliree were walking in the garden. MaJame Fanshawo catne first | She was a very little old lady, and would i have made y??u think of a fairy, with | bur ^old-headed e#tj?\ her glittering rmffs of white hair, her black eyes, bright a? diamonds. Iter long hooked i nose, her sharp curving chin. < The young lady wilh I er bad a face ] 'ike souie rich-hut d tropical flower ; .he lips scarlet and wliito; (he lovely t dark eyes sbiuing. She bad a yellow j rose in Iter black hair and another at . her belt. i The (bird person was a gentleman ulout twenty-eight, rather pale, but vtry ( handsome and haughty looking. The three had just left the breakfast , table, and came out together for a stro'.i , mi maduuic's lovely rose garden. , The youug gentleman was madamc's viii ; the young lady was hrr adopted daughter. The son by blcod, and the j daughter by adoption, were to bo mar- | red in a few weeks. Madame was not pleaded that it should , bo to, but h. r son was his own master ; and, after all, though she did uot know who her parents were, Idrle was a girl | to be proud of. So she submitted with , teeming good grace. i Madame was the first to discover something unusual and strange in the rath ahead of them, and hastening on | with the aid of her gold headed stuff, .-he readied it before the others, who were gaiiug into each oth? r's eyes,came ] up. What madame had discovered was the ( body of a youth of perhaps fourteen, . terribly deformed but having a boauti- ( ful face and fair, curling hair. He was clothed iu a gay velvet suit, tiimmcd ; with Leo, and wore scarlet hose; und ( hand.-oinc shoes with shining buckles. | lie lay upon his side, and a knife ( ?Ma ciii.|;?ii(r in hia back, whose carved landlc of silver proclaimed it to be do common weapon. Close by wa6 a summer house overgrown by ro?cs. hono} suckle auJ sweet briar. j Madame bent down to look closer; , then she uttered a scream and started back. ' Philip !" she cried. ''Philip, come hrr<\ It is Cock Robin ; some one has killed him. Look at the knife in his side." Philip Fanshawe stepped quickly between the girl he loved and thut ghastly eight. Rut some fascination drew Idclo forward She looked once. It was enough. With a stealthy, shuddering movement i hci white hand crept, first to the flower I in her hair, then to the one at her bolt, and (curing b<>th out, she dropped them crashed, in the path. The real name of the murdered boy was H"bby Reese ; but some one hud dubbed him Cock Robin one day, and the iiHUie had Muck to him. lie was what is called half wilted, and was the only child of a favorite servaut of Madauie Fanshswe's. Ho was a sort of pet of madame, one of whose whims it had been to dock him in such Cu^ry as he wore now. ' You had better go into the house, mother," said l'hilip; "you and Ideh', and ??ud Riddieto me. This is noplace for y u " ' Who is to tell his mother ?" cried madame shrilly. "Nora'll go mud?" "Tell her yourself. Wuit?here she is now. She has missed him." A woman was coming towards them with her apron to her eyes. She was crying. '1 can't fiud my little hid, madatne," she said, as soon as she was near enough * His bed's not been slept in all night. I'tn n.rn Irritililfil for tlia hilV." I ? ?? wv*" *'w ? - J And then, as both Fliilip and Madame Fanshawo had stepped between her and poor slain Cork lb/bin, she caught a j rliuipsc of his blue velvet jacket, and flung herself pist them like a uiad creature Idele turned and ran suddenly from the sound of those frighful screams, [going straight to her own room and locking herself in. She had not been ' there long when Madame Funshawo came. ' Let uio in quickly, Idele," she Raid. I in an imperative tone. "I must speak with yoa instantly?iu9tant!y, do vou Lear ?" Idele opened the door. Her hair was tumbled, her eyes were red. She was trembling. ' Did you wish to speak to me Madame?" she asked, looking dowu. And then Madame Funahawe pulled something out of her pocket and flashed 1 1 it before her. j CAl It was a string of carbuncles, each bead joined to its fellow by a gulden link. 1 dele glanced at them indifferently ' I had not missed them," she said. ' Where did you find them ?" Madame advanced into the room and ( hut the door. "I found ihcra in the summcr-hou-e near which poor, murdered Cock Robin lies." she said, in a shrill whisper, and smiled to see her flowir-like face blanch i?t the words. "No one saw tbrm," he went on. "No one knows where I found theoi. Go away at oncc. Leave my house wiihont seeing Philip ngain, and hide yourself from him from this day, and I will keep your secret. Stay, and I will publish it to the winds and help huut you to your doom." ji "And only yesterday." said Idele,' with quivering lip*, "this morning even.! you called me daughter." "But I never let you call me mother. I atn glad of that now." "Madame, do you believe that I killed | him ? I ?" questioned Idele haughtily. Madame tossed the chain of Carbun- I eles upon a dressing table. "I have warned you," she said. "Stay I now at your peril. Exchange but one I tvord with Philip, and I will very soon ' let you know what I believe." i She left the room. i It wus no part of madumo's plans I hat Idele should r- ully be suspected. 1 l- r Mic only wauled to separate ncr irom ' Philip. ' Whi-n she fount! her room vacant, i lie concealed her ubsence at first on a i [ retence of illness. and then alter a tiuie ;avc out that alio had gone to visit a ] dative of her own. Philip, however. Ind to be told ?omc-hing nearer the trutli. So she told him where she found the siting of carbun- : !es, and how Ideic look'd when she i ihowed (heut to her. lint not a word < iiorc. "It is very rtranpe." said Philip. < wonderinjrly. "I shall scnid her well < for having scciets Irom me when I God 1 I# ' ? nor. "You will never marry her after this?" iiadnmc asked, with looks of horror. 1 "Why not?" ? "She must know something about the 1 killing of poor Cock Robin. Pet haps , he had gone to the* summer-house to ? nect a lover, aud the boy saw her." "What do you mean mother?" 1 "I never thought she was so much in ( ove with you as you with her." 1 Philip's eves flashed. ' "I will search the world over but that ' f will Gnd her." he said. ' Madauic leaned on her gold-headed < :-:tne and looked at it with a grim fucc ( "Find lor if you can," she thought out 1 did not say. ' Three years passed. Philip had sought ' in vaiu for Idelc. The mystery of her ' disappearance, nnd the mystery of who 1 killed poor Cock Robin, were uiyetcri- 1 uus still. One night a gang of desperadoes tried ' to rob Funshawe Hall. They had got into the house, and j! were trying to get the door of the plate.! closet open, when Nora Ib-ese, who!1 slept near, heard them nnd went, as still! us a u.ouse, and waked her master and some of Hit- men servants. The robbers had got inside the plate ! closet at:d were piling the silver into a 1 bog they had brought with thcin, when 1 Philip and his men burst in upon them. A general rush and scramble' followed, and some shots were fired. The villains all escaped but one. He was wounded ' but he would scarcely have got away il 1 he had not been; for Nora Reese had 1 sprang upon hint at fiisi, and cluug to him like a wild cat. ' It's the man that killed my Bobby, 1 and I know it !'' slit* screamed. The man fouuht her a little at flrst but when she said that he stopped, and ' leaned against the wall, gasping aud 1 stnrting with staring eyes, whilu the blood dropped from his wound upon 1 the floor. "What do you mean ?" he eaid Iiow 1 do you kuow I killed him ?" "I heard the'others call you Carlo, I and Carlo was on the knife. I know it was you !" 1 ' Do you rn^nn that truly 7" he suid. "Yes, I did kill him. I'll own up, for I boiieve I'm dying myself m?w." Miilip Funshawe sprang forward and cuuuht him as bo whs falling, and they laid hiui petit!y dowu upou the fl or. "It was the cruelist tiling I ever did," he went on regretfully to say. "It was/' said Philip sternly. "Why did you kill him ?" The tuuu stared at Philip "Why, you're the fellow Idcle was to have married," he said. Do you love her yet ?" "I shall love her till I die !" Philip answered, setting his lips. "What were you to her ?" ' I belonged to the gypsy baud who stole her from her father's house a babe. I was present when the mudauie took u fancy to her, urid gave the mail money to give her up to her. When 1 hour I she was going to marry you, I thought I saw uiy way to mako some money. I pretended to be her fathe: and got her to meet me iu the summer house that night to talk it over. She didn't believe me, but suid she would think ab >ut wliul I bud said. And then she picked some yellow rosis, and told n.u if 1 passed next mornitig, and saw her w>ar tug 8<>me of them, 1 might know she still refused to believe me. "After she hud gone I went out and found the boy there listening, and I killed him, partly in temper, partly be* cause I was afraid he would tell what he hud heard. Poor Idcle ! The sight! of thut dead boy convinced her I bud 1** luW U* truth, vt I wvvW out Uvu ADEN, S. C., JANUARY killed him to keep it from being known; and she fled from you to avoid betraying the man she supposed to be her father." ' Do you know where she is now?" Philip asked, his face darkening in spite of hiui. "She is living with her own mother as lady's companion. Tier mother is the widow of Lord Tulliver. They are tond of each other, but thev do uot guess the truth. They are at Tulliver Park in Yorkshire now." Such was the substance of Carlo's story, omitting the many interruptions. | the long pause, caused by his weak and dying condition. He died the next day. But he lived j long euough to complete and attest by solemn oath all these statements, as well as to tell where other wituesses to their truth might be found. Philip hist no time in seeking his lost love, aud brought her back to Fanshawe Hall as bii wife with as little dtday as possible. Madame, his mother, was very glad to sec her. "I always liked you, my dear. You know I was as fond of you as I could he until Philip wanted to marry you," >hc said coolly to Idele.

The following, which is claimed to be ? true story, is, if authentic, a powerful llui-tratiou of the decree in which truth nay often be stranger than fiction : About twenty-five years ago aconipuny j if young men started out from Da in as- I :us to Jerusalem. They had not gone J rery far when n band of armed horsenen surrounded them, and ordered them o halt. The leader of the band .' aid he caravan might move on unharmed f they would deliver up one of their lumber, a young man named Randall, vho should not suffer if he would come ilont; with them peacefully. After a brief consultation, the terms were acceded to, and the last look his ompanions had of him was to sco him nouutcd on a fine horse, attended by he gay horsemen of the Bedouin Sheik >f the Le Arish tribe, which usuilly winter in tho neighborhood of Damag:us, and in the summer move south and astover the great plain, seeking pasurage and water for their docks and herd*. Where the escort was to conrcy Randall he had no conception, b it tie bood found himself at the Sheik's ent, and, to his great surpiise, a ting lificent entertainment awaited him.

He seemed happy with his unsought i brid'\ for Arzilla proved that her love for him was more than mere far.cj. Children were born to them, and their domestic life was uiarked by kindness, courtesy and true bffection. Randall rupiJly acquired the Arabic language, his wife as readily mastered the English, and they taught their children both. [ which they speak readily. Who was this Randall ? In the Slate j if New York lives his futher, who lias never seen the face of his son.

The Demand fop the Surrender of the Garrison?Auderaou's Gallant Reply. On the morning of the 11th of April, the dawn of dav disclosed an activity at once unusual and significant over the entire harbor. The wafers were covered w.th vessels hastily putting to sea. An iron-clad floating battery of four guns, the construction of wliich in Charleston had b?*cn watched by the garrison for mniilhs, was towed down the bay to a point at the westirn end of Sullivan's Island, where its guns bore direeily upon Fort Suniter. A wooden dwelling on the b'acli. near the etip of the island was pulled down and unmasked a land work, mounting four guns, hitherto unknown to the garrison. Its fire would enfilade the most iuij ortant battery of Fort Sumter, which was upon the parapet of the right flank of the work, and whose guns were mainly relied upou to control the fire from the heavy guns on Cuuitning's.Foiiit, that would take the fort in reverse. Bodies of troops were landed aud the batteries on the shore fully manned, and every preparation completed, when at 4 o'clock P. M , a boat uuder a white flag approached the fort. Two officials, aidcs-dc-cauip of tho j general commanding the Confederate ' forces in tho harbor, Colonel Ghesnut and Captain S D. Lee, were admitted to the guard room just, inside the main entrance to the work. They bore a communication from tho military commandant at Charleston, and to the follow- | iug effect; It is stated that the poverunicnt of ihe Confederate States hid | hitherto forborne from any hostile demonstration against Fort Sumter, in the ilmf lhi> irnnnrnl <y ,vt?rnuient would t" ' n voluntarily evacuate it in order to avert I war, and that there \v is reason to beli vc that such would have been the I course pursued, but that the Confederate j government could no longer d-lay "as- I suming actual possession" of a fortift j cation so important to it. Th-i evacuation of Kort Sumter was demanded in ; the iiaine of the g vernment of the j Confederate States. All proper facili-; ties were tendered to Mujor Anderson for the removal of himself and his 1 command. He was to take with him liis company and private property and j to salute his flag upon taking it down. ; Culling the officers of tho garrison j into his private room, ho laid the com- ! uiuuicution before them, and then for , the lir.-t time made known to them the I confidential dispatch from llic governo ent received a few days previously, in which their determination to relieve the fort was expressed, and instructions in regard to it conveyed. In this communication authority was given him to capitulate when ilw necessity of the case required it. The conference of the officers was long and earno-t. There was no thought for a moment of acceding to the demand for the evacuation of the fort und the followiog reply was returned by Major Anderson : ' That t no demand for the evacuation of the fort was one with which he regretted that his sense of honor and his obligations to his povcruuient prevented his compliance." On receiving this communication the Confederate officers left the fort. The entire interview was characterized by every courtesy, though more distant and formal than in previous conferences. They were followed to the main gate of the wort hy Major Anderson and the writer of this article. As they were about to embark, Major Anderson re 1?1 k.? IllUltwCU ;il IIICII lll'tll UlUk liu nkluni he starved out any way in a few days, if their puns did not batter hiui in pieces, and this wus repeated more specifically to the Confederate officers in reply to their inquiries on the subject. As the boat returned, the batteries around were covered with spectators, all anxiously watchinp the result of the mission." Ears. The idea that a person has two cars merely for symmetry, or to keep his head from beinp lop sided, has been exploded. One of the Vienna professors lias been making some experiments which lead to tho conclusion that two ears arc absolutely necessary in determining correctly the direction from uhich a sound comes. lie has found that persous who are deaf in one ear usually suppose that sound comes from the direction in which tho sound ear happens to be turned.

The Arlington estate covers over 1.000 acres, and the Arlington House, from 1802, was the residence, until his 1 death, of George Washington Parke ' fustis, the adopted son of Gcoigi Wa.-hingtoo, when his daughter, th< wile of General Robert 10. Lee, occu- ' pied it until 18G1. General Lee then h ft it. with his family, to go South and 1 join the CoiifeJeracy. It was soon af- ' ler taken as the headquarters of Geu. ' McDowali, of the United Stales army. and v.-as held by the military till 1803. 1 when it was sold by the government, under the direct tax act, for $65 of 1 overdue taxes. The money was tender- ' el by General Lee's friends, but re- 1 fused. It belonged to Mrs. Lee, but was not ennfiscased, as is generally sup- < pos"d. General Lee never had any in- i terest in it whatever, and that of Mrs. < I.i-n W;is onlv n lit.'* rat.'itn ha h/*r i death it reverted to GeneralCu.-ti9 Lee, ' who brings this suit of cjoctmpnt. Iu 1 1867 a national ceuictery was formally t established by the government upon 200 ' acres of the land, in winch there arc buried nearly 16,000 soldier*, including a few hundred of the Confederate army. Over the arch of the carriage en- | trance is this inscription: "Here rest . 15,585 of the 315.558 citizens who died in defence of their country from 1801 to 18(55." Bills were introduced into Congress to pay Mrs. Lee, while she was alive, for the estate, but came to no vote. Should General Lee win his suit, the government would undoubtedly purchase the property. A Buried Town Brought to Light An interesting archaeological discovery has ju>t been made in Italy?tl at of a buried town, a new l'ompeii, unexpectedly found near Maufredonia, at the foot of Mount Gargauo. A temple of Diana was first brought to light, and then a portico about twenty metres in length, wim columns without capital', > and, final!)*, a necropolis coveriug 15.000 ' square metres (about three ouJ three < quarter acres). A large number of in- < scriptions have been collected, and some of them have been seat to the museum at Naples. Tbc town discovered is the ancient Sipontum of which ( Strabo, Potybeus nnd Livy speak, and . which was buried by an earthquake. ( The houses are twenty feet below the , surface of the soil.

It is related that a bear and its leader lately nrrived toward night at a villago near tho city of Lyons, aud the latter sought admission into tnc only , inn in thu place. The host at first decliucd to admit tho straoge pair, not knowing where to put the animal, but finally he concluded to receive them. The bear was placed in a pigsty, and its oc cupant, a tut pig, which was tube killed on the morrow, was l>*t loose in the court yard. In the middle of the night cries of help proceeding from the pigsty aroused the house, and the host, his wife und the servants at once ran to the spot. It was then ascertained that a thief, excited by the spleudid condition of the pig, had determined on eloping with it, and had entered the pigsty with tlmt luudubU intention. The bear, | displeased at being suddenly awakened I by this enterprising individual, rcwar' ded hiui with a fraternal hug, which caused the would-be thief to cry out so lustily. Tho man was delivered from the jaws of the bear, but only to be hamled into the nauos 01 justice. Book Agents. One of tlic experiences which reconcile us to death is the existence of book ageuts. They pet up early and sit up late. They ring your bell when you are at dinner, and though you send > won! that you always cat for three con-; sceutive hours, they sit down quietly in 1 the hall and wait until you have finished. Then they insist that you shall buy their bo"k, in spite of the fact that you have nlrcady purchased two copies under similar eircunMunces. because you have been feeding a hungry public and laying the foundation of a colossal fortune.
