MARRYING WELL.

BY MRS. R. B. EDSON.

CHAPTER XV.

It was a little past the middle of August. The weather had been sultry aad oppressive for several days, and a feeling of languor, the result partly of the enervating weather, and partly of the long strain upon her physical and mental system, weighed down Almy's spirits. Lancelot Russell had gained rapidly lately, and Dr. Sturgis said that morning he sbonld send him up to the convalescent camp the next week. But Captain Russell said, 'No, he was going down to look after his company, he believed the boys would want to see him by this time.'

Almy lay in her room, thinking it all over—thinking of many things beside, in a hopeless, dreary sort of a way. She bad not been well that morning, and Br. Sturgis bad given her orders to keep ber room all day. Beside, she had re oeived a letter from Emily, begging her to come home, 'for father and mother's «ake,' she wrote. 'They are quite broken wn by Alien's death, though it is a great comfort to know he indulged a hope at the last.' 'Indulged a hope!' Almy repeated—the phrase seemed to irritate ber. As if tbe glory and sacrifice of his death did not atone a hundred times for all the follies and weaknesses of his life!'

By and by Almy became vaguely con«cious that there was a storm rising. (She lay a little jvhile, listening to the rising wind, and the moan and plash of the waters as they beat on tbe shore. It grew dark and gloomy, and presently great drops of rain flattened themselves Against tbe glass. She got up aud looked out, the gloom outside somehow settling down into ber heart. It was growing dark fast, and she brushed tbe heavy curls a little, oarelessly, and went out in search of oompany, begging one of tbe nigbt watchers to let ber take her place,

4asa

boon of charity,' she said, with a fittie nervous laugb. A little before daylight tbe storm abated, and a faint line of pale saffron ran along tbe east. It was one of those sudden, fierce, late summer storms that sometimes occur, and its fury had exhausted itself. But the wifid, which was square east, had been blowing in •bore all night, and Hampton Roads was flecked white with foam. She went out, and through the gray dawnlight strained her eyes to see the snow capped •crests that rose and fell wierdly through tbe uncertain ligbt. While she still stood there, a man came running up from the beach below. She went down into the path and intercepted him. •What is it?' she asked hurriedly.' 'A steamship wrecked outside and floated in, or rather driven In by the winds—I mean tbe boats driven in. Haifa dozen drowned bodies have been picked up, beside three men and a woman in a lifeboat, who are alive. It's an English craft, and the captain, clerk, and two passengers are among tbe saved. She was wrecked off Cape Charles last night,' and be hurried on in pursuit of assistance.

Impelled by a spirit which she did not understand, Almy hastened back to ber room, caught a bat and shawl from a nail, and putting them on as she went, set out for tbe beach, which was some ways distant.

She did not know, she never could tell what impelled her to walk straight down to the foamy shore, where, just out of wash of tbe wave, a man was lying in that awful rigidity that is so sure a token of death. The ffcce lay toward tbe water bat she stooped over—over—and then suddenly Ler brain reeled, and for the first time in ber life she fainted» She had seen and recognized the face—it was Kentl

When she opened ber eyes, one of the surgeons from tbe hospital was bending over ber. She rose up with sudden strength as the fearful memory surged back upon ber consciousness. But as she would have knelt by the drowned man, a woman, with wild eyes and dishevelled hair, pushed past her, and throwing herself npon tbe wet band, drew the white face to her bosom with a gesture of passionate defiance. 'Stand back!' she cried, her eyes blazing, a* Almy attempted to come near. 'Stand back, I say, Almy Johnston*! You shall not so much as touch him—he is mine! mine!' 'Poor creature! It has turned her brain,' some of the bystanders said, 'No wonder,' answered tbe captain of the steamer, coming up at that moment 'she is bis wife. They took passage at Havre for New York, marrira only the day before, I think, but I had six "pas seogers for Norfolk, whom I bad promised to land at Sewell's Point, with all possible dispatch, and intended to run in here last uigbt. Rut tbe storm struck us a tittle past noon, and the engines became1 unmanageable before sunset, and a little before nine o'olook we drifted on to the shoals north of Cape Charles and the steamer foundered. Only four of us are left of all the crew and pssseu-

fat

ers. We took to tbe boats, ten of as, the boat they were in capedsed just before daylight, just as we began to hope for safety.'

Almy followed like one in some terrible dream, as they carried the bodies of tbe drowned to tbe nearest building. She would have gone near, but the woman, who was growing more and more wild and unmanageable every moment, would not suffer her to and so, white almost as tbe dead themselves, she leaned on the arm of the kind surgeon, who saw at once that there was some romance which had ended in a tragedy,

and which came very near the little nurse whose trembling hand rested on hi* arm.

That afternoon, Francos Tallin age. the beautiful, aoootuplUfced, ana .wealthy heiress# waa borne «gray a flercs, ungovernable manla& Atynabe had gone, Almy sought oql Dr. pturgis aud told him thatoueof &e crowned men was a near friend of she wished him to mpte all necessary preparations for hereto tspe blm to New

York for burlaf. More than this she could not tell him then. But before she went she sought out Lance Russell, and told hltp as briefly as she oould, not intending to mention poor Franoea at all. But he had heard the story, and he was angry at tbe insult it brought to her, the true wife, •How can you go?' he asked hotly. •You forget, Lance, that he is dead,' she said gently.

It was a lonely and desolate funeral, with no one but Almy and Dora, aud a few distant relatives. Mrs. Lovering came down from Hudson, and when she held Almy to ber motherly heart, whispered: •It is very sad, dear, but perhaps It Is best I think it is. It was a fearful mistake for both of you I saw that when I was at Riverbeck, two years ago. But we will let the dead past bur£ its dead, my dear,' to whieh Almy faintly whts pered: 'Yes.'

Dora was so shocked and grieved by this terrible event that she was quite ill, —so ill that Mrs. Lovering telegraphed for Ernest, who, being at liberty, came on immediately.

Almy oould not stay at Riverbeck, every association of the plaoe was so painful, and in her present excited and overworked state she dare not remain, lest they return and find her there. She never oould look in Mrs. Johustone's face again, she thought, But sh« wept a little, softly, aqd kissed tho changed face of Robert Johnstone as tenderly as an own daughter would have doae., and when be olung to her with that childishness which illness begets and begged her to remain with him, she was no ore sorry and pained than she would have thought possible, to be obliged to leave him.

When she left Riverbeck, she fully intendod returning South, but on reaching New York, a sudden wild longing for home took possession of her, and so she changed her destination, and the next night, very weak and nervous and exhausted, was clasped to her farther and mother's bosom. But though sbe told them the reason of her journey to Riverbeck, she did not tell thenn of tbe poor girl whose reason had gone down under the shock, or anything thatoonld in anyway prejudice them against her dead husband. 'You must never leave us again, pet,' her father said that night, kissing her tenderly. 'On, father! I must go bade to my patients in a few days,' was tbe eager answer. 'You wouldn't have me desert the flag now?'

But it was days and weeks and even months before Almy Johnstone went out again. 'Mental and physical exhaustion,' the doctor said, as she lav day after day, with little change for the better.

One day—it was Deoember—they were astonished to see Captain Lance OKussell coming up tbe street. Almy had ridden out for the first time that day, and in the identical 'green-bottomed buggy' in which her father and mother bad gone to her wedding. Sbe thought of it, and of the Springfield coach, as she pressed her cheek caressingly against'tbe faded red lining of tbe buggy, with a feeling of unspeakable content. And so when ber father lifted ber out and carried her into the bouse in bis arms, as he used to do when she was a child, tbe clinging soft arms about his neck, her brown curls falling over his shoulders like a veil, and ber old girlish laugh ringing out low and clear, who should Tise up to meet her but Lance Russell.

She gave a little quick, glad cry, and then, suddenly remembering, blushed scarlet. A swift fire flamed an instant in the dark eyes bent so eagerly on her face, and then he said, laughing: 'I am out looking up deserters—Sturgis sent me.' 'I was so sorry he knows that I am ill and didn't desert purposely?1 she asked eager lv. •Yes", I think some one wrote,' be answered, not revealing tbe fact that he had himself written to Mr. Gordon to find out—not simply once, but half a dozen times—all the particulars concerning her illness, and at last being so anxious and uneasy about ber that he could endure it no longer, had obtained a week's furlough and come to see for himself.

The three days he could stay in Hadley were tbe shortest Lance had ever known, but they had a wonderful effect upon the pretty invalid, bringing more of color to her cheeks than Dr. Murdock's 'Peruvian Bark' had in as many months.

Captain Russell intended to content himself with simply seeing her—it was too soon, yet, to say anything, be yras conscious, though the cirouinstances made some excuse, he assured himself. But when the moment of parting came, and he saw the sweet lips tremble and the soft gray eyes droop, njs resolution was put to sudden rout. They were quite alone—he had struggled so long, and the tenlptation was too great, and impulse got tbe better of reason, and before either were hardly aware, sbe was clasped closely in bis arms and against bis heart, which had hungered so for tbe soft pressure of ber dear nead 1 It was only for a moment—one little exquisite moment—but it held, oh! such a lifetime of happiness! and then be put ber back gently on tbe louBge. 'You will write to me, my beloved?' he whispered. •Yes, dear Lance,' sbe said. He turned and went out. And this was their second betrothal.

Emily met him when he oame out he grasped her band warmly, but did not speak, yet she knew as well as if he bad told her what had taken plaoe, and not even when John bad forced tbe confession from ber lips that sbe 'cared for a feller' had sbe been more really glad and happy than sbe was at that moment.

A few days after he had gone, a letter oame from Dora. She was married— Ernest bad desired it, and his will was her greatest pleasure. She had gone back to Baltimore, where she should stay with ber oousln. Her mother and Julia had returned soon after she was there, and there was no duty to keep her in Riverbeck. Her mother took the loss of their fortune very much to heart, and refused to see even tbe old neighbors who came in out of kindness and sympathy.

Poor Frances was in an insane asylum in Pennsylvania. The doctors thought her incurable, and her splendid income would go to pay her board and nursing. Her father was but little better, and tbe doctor feared another attack. Surely retributive justice bad overtaken tbem all. Tbe spring days came again theie was more watching, and waiting, and hoping, and then came the news or the terrible battle of tbe 'Wilderness.' 'I must go, father,' Almy said firmly, ber eyes darkening.

•TERHU HAUTE BATTTTTOAY EVE-NINO- MAIL.

And so the middle of May found her again at her old postal Fortress Mpnapo, greatly to tbe doliitUt of Dr. StUr^tf,

The next dsy after her arrival, While pasiina aown cm#- of tliajf«rards, a hroneftd, bearded fellow, lying itionuof the cot*, beckoned to bfcf. Hha iwfcit up to him. hanutei by safftothing familiar ijihtafcee. jM', 'What can 1" do for yon?' iWraBked with a bright araile,

To her astonishment, he drew the sheet up to his face with his left band— the other was lying bandaged on his breast—and began sobbing like a child. She ran her fingers Ughtly throuah the tangled oiasa of dark qsir with a noticing, oaresslng touah. 'Poor fellow, he is homeslok,' Almy thought, pityingly. •I dldnH think yoa would forget your soldier so quick,'oame in a stilled voice from beneath tbe sbeet. •ToraV Almy exclaimed in astonishment, removing tbe sheet ftrom his face with gentle force. 'Why, Tom! how oould I know you had grown into such a strong, bronzed, bearded fellow? You used to be so white and slender—almost tike a woman,' 'Well, I guess you'll think I'm wo manish euough now, taking on in this way but I've been lu suoh terrible pain with my side and this arm all nigbt, and I haven't seen a single face I knew since I oame here—only poor Dick Tra vers, and he died yesterday—and I was all worked up, and—ana—I couldn't help itl' his bearded lips quivering in spite of his strong effort to ooutrol them. •And you didn't know I was coming down here to look after "my soldiers" she said, brightly, sitting down beside him, and taking the poor restless left band between her soft palms. 'I had not forgotten you, Tom. I asked Colo nel Lovering about you, and he said you W6ie a "brave fellow, and a credit to ma."' •Did be say that—did the Colonel say tbat?'be asked eagerly. 'Yes, Tom and felt so proud of you!

And now I am going to show my gratitude by nursing you till you are well again.''

Sbe was turning away when he caught at her band. •Miss Almy,' he said, and then slopped

he'What(8T^)m?'^H,r,v

-mlU'm

-'They are all broken up at the old place, and he. is dead wi?. •Yes,' she said, gravely, •Well, I wanted to tell you about that letter you sent to your sister once—you remember? She dropped it into tbe grate at the poBtoifioe, after she had mailed another to blind my eyes. But I knew, though I didn't like to say anything then.' 'Well, it is all passed now," she answered with a faint sigh, as she turned away, followed by Tom Evan's longing, worshipful eyes.

It was a dark time, that well remem bered June, when tbe Southern army was daily reported advancing npon the North, and Maryland and Pennsylvania were invaded. And then came the three days' battle at Gettysburg, and tbe tide was turned but, ab! at what a fearful costl

The hospitals at Annapolis were full, and nurses and surgeons were sent up, and again Almy was in Annapolis. It was three weeks—three weeks of such suspense as sbe had never known—be fore she received a letter from Lance. Two weeks later be came home on furlough, but Captain Russell no longer—he haa been made a Colonel 'for bravery on tbe field,' so tbe papers said. Ab! was tbere ever so proud and happy an army nurse before as our little Almy was that night And Colonel Russell—be would willingly have givfen twenty such com missions as he bad in his pocket for th6 sweet, shy kiss that Almy gave him— the first kiss of their second betrothal.

Almy tarried at Annapolis until Christmas, and then Colonel Russell came op and took her away. 'I cannot let you stay longer, darling,' I want you at Hadley, where, the moment tbe war is over, I can come to claim my wife,' he whispered, with his lips very close to the little pink-white ear, which, with the face to which it belonged, was almost smothered in his enfolding arms.

And so he carried her back to Hadley to wait for tbe war to ba over. And the mwnths ran on—springs summer, winter again, and then came the spring of '65 and sweeter than balmy breathings, or tint of odorous blossoms, were the glad bells of peace that rang through all the land.

Again tbere was a wedding in Hadley, differing something from the others, for the bells were rung, and the stars and stripes were run up, and if you had not known, you would have thought it was the Fourth of July. That it was some sort of a military affair was quite evident from the number of 'shoulderstraps' present. There were General Lovering, with bis wife and mother, Lieutenant Tom Evans, Sergeant Cranston, and I don't know bow many, not naming Colonel Lance Russell, who, being the bridegroom, does certainly deserve especial mention. Tbere was, beside, one soldier there whose badge of honor was simply an em^ty sleeve but you saw by tbe proud ligbt in one woman's eyes, that she thought her Will the grandest hero df them all! Happy Will Iveraon!

Dear reader! is there need of my moralizing? Is tbere need of my assuring you that thin time Almy really 'married well'? I think not, and hope most sincerely that some one may take warning by the experience of Almy Barnard, and before entering into tbe most sacred of earthly compacts, be sure of that congeniality of heart and mind, that subtle affinity of soul, that entire and undivided love which alone can make marriage what Heaven intendedper-, feet union.

In issuing its prospectus for 1879, the REPUBLICAN proposes to maintain its character and rank in the fore front of American newspapers. Never were its facilities for tbe collection of news surpassed. Tbe paper .will be a constant reflex of the most reliable intelligence obtainable from all parts oi tbe world. It editorial discussions will continue to be dignified, and aim, as heretofore, to give to tbe reading community the fairest presentation of tbe issues of the day. Wnilst always on tbe alert for exciting subjects, it will avoid tbe merely seusa ttonal and will not pander to vitiated tastes. In all its departments it will have the freshest and most trustworthy hews, in the most convenient shape.

The REPUBLICAN is devoted to tbe interests of the Mississippi Valley and its commercial emporium, and will use its best abilitjes to promote tbem. It realizes that tbe future empire of tbe country lies in tbe West and South. To combine the political and business relations of tbe two sections in influencing tbe legislation of congress in behalf of long neglected rights, will be apart of its mission. An earnest advocate for nearly a quarter of a century of the leading measures of the Democracy oppossing tbe Republican patty ever since its organization supporting every Democratic national anil state ticket— the REPUBLICAN expects to remain a champion of the principles of that party, aud to aid in the election of its candidates, unless unworthy, or unfit.

The events to be dealt with in the near future will be of commanding importance. Tbe proceedings of congress and of the state legislatures will possess great interest. Ddring the year the political issues vvill be. shaped on whioh the presidential election of 1880 must be conducted and, altogether, the probabilities point to a period of more than ordinary interest to the newspaper reader. Confident that tbe REPUBLICAN cannot be excelled as a Commercial, Political and Family Journal, the pro-

rietors urge upon their friends their efforts to extend its circulation

THE TRI-WEEKLY REPUBLICAN. The Tri-Weekly REPUBLICAN is published on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and is especially adapted to tbe wants"of those subscribers who are not so situated as to receive a daily mail.' It contains not pnly the cream of the Daily REPUBLICAN, but practically all the newi? of the week published in the seven issues of tbe daily is given in tbe three of the Tri-Weekly.

THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN Unusual attention is given to the Weekly REPUBLICAN, and it is the very best news Weekly in the oonntry. It is specially edited, and is not a mere compilation from the daily, very much of the matter being whoHy rewritten. News, commercial and literary features all recoive due care, and a complete epitome of tbe doings of each week is given in a connected and lucid shape. Tbe Weeklv REPUBLICAN IS a model family paper, since it gives all the important news of the week in a succinct aud readable shape, besides a large amount of miscellaneous reading matter, short stories and choice literary selections.
