THE DOUBLE DISGUISE. "Lillie, d you lovo me? Caa you love me? I love you, and you only I" I exclaimed, passionately, a I sat be side Lillie Wbately, with Ler one little band clapped in mine. " We we're! sitting In the large bay'winj dow of her father's homo. The moon was just rising iu tbe east, spreading a glow over tbav borizoa. TUa- wind was playing .gently in amoag : tbe 'girl's golden hair, s'uting by my side. She was an angel in my eyes. I loved her with all my life ; and what if she should reject me? "Charlie," she said, "I cannot tell yoa ; there is one reason ". "And that is I am pior," I inter rupted, in a Id, disappointed vsico. "No, no, not that; I can't tell you now, but I will before long." . "lJut do you love me?" "Yes, Charlie ; yes, ob ! so mach." . "Then, darlintj, what da you mean?" "I mean that I cannot promise to be your wife ; not until I find out some thing" I pressed a lingering kiss upon ,ber pouting lips, which seirt a thrill through my veins, and I clashed her to my heart. "I am poor, Lillie, and you ars so much higher in life that I am nlojost ashamed of myself at times. I have often cursed myself for not being better to do in the world. "Why, Charlie, you ought to be ashamed of yourself now; I an sure many a ma would willingly give half his wealth for your handsome eyes and your " "Flattery I Itemcmbcr that flattery is the worst kind of deceit," 1 Interrupted, playfully. Thu3 we chatted or, uncenscious of how fast time was flmg; and when I arose to leave, the moon was high in the beavers, and the d"ck in the room as striking wel'( ineer' mind, I am not particular about telling just now. I left her with a lining, warm kiss stamped upon my lips. 1 lelt ber statiil iug ut the door, wntchine ma as I walked down the path, nnd wbca 1 reached the gate, the wind wafted to my ears the woids, soft and sweet "Gaud bye, d it ling." I went borne with my heart ovci flaw ing with happiness aud love, and as lover generally do, I dreamed of adven tures with rivals ai-d rubbers; Lillie was heroine of my sweet dreams of comse. She was my first 1 ivc, and I was wild, passionate, nbeut-mindea, and this leve was burning me up. I worked steadily ncit day until noon, when the foreman informed me that my labor was needed no longer, nnd paying what was coming to n:e, he disch'irgid me without ven deigning to lhauk me fwr my former services. How miserable I lei', knowinw ttant 1 coulJ find no ra ire work in tiie city, aud must leave fur another one. or starve. Leavo her I bow . could I? I auuld not tell her hon matters ttuod I She would help me, I kucw, but I was too proud t i ask a woman for assist ance. A mechanic can generally find work, even when the professional oien are out of employment; but now times never seemed duller wrk-men never were more plentiful, and money was never' scarcer. I went everywhere i. search jif work, but in vain did I ask. My landlord must have his pay, axd psy him I d'H, lesuio; tne n"ir!y penni less ia a great hard-hearted city. What khoulJ I do? Where must I go? Tv leave I'llio would bo too much ; l.could not think of such a thing. I must toll her: I could find no other alternative. Her father did not kow who bis daughter wos loviug whom she vnwed to love. Perhaps if he had, there would have been an eud of it; but he did ant, ns he was aay on business fur months toe ttr. I must cull ob her this very evening, t thought i although uninvited by ber. 1 muht explain all ; tell her tbnt I must leave in serch of employment. I had never tld her of my situation. She did not know but that I had rela tions and friends ia the city. I was in a Strang fit, and horily knew what to do. I wandered down the streets nith my head hanging low, not noticing th'iKgs lieict jfuro so attractive in my eyes. I unconsciously reached Litliu's house, I started with surprise on looking ground me. I was not aware of how fast I bad been walking toward her residence As I was there I resolved to go in, and stepping iiWide the gate I walked raoidlv ur the tath leading to the house. I rang the duor-bell, ar.d a sen ant came to the entrance. "Is Miss L'llie in? I asked. "Yes, walk rht in please," aha an swered, poiotiog to the doer opeaieg iota the parlor. . i bung my hat upon the stand, sad going to the door I opened it and ca tered. .:f-: A . What a sight anet Biy eyes as I went lal How my blood boiled in my veins Oh was nearly wild, and it was with difficulty that I controlled myself. On the sofa sat Lillie, and by her side a young mn,a his arms was around her waist bis llps.'were pressed to hers, t became culm in as instant, and bow. la myself out of the room, I said "Ah ( excuse me. I see I have made a mistake." Soiling my bit I rushed i down the steps and out through the gate. ''Charlie, coma back," I thought she called ; but I west on, whither I knew not. I came ap the river, dark and rapid. How easy 'twould be to end ray life of misery here. She would uot core. No one would mourn ray loss. Bit I was not fool enough to destroy my life now.. I consoled myself with "It is better to love and Use than never to love at all." 'I went to my homo, or rather board ing place, and passed a sleepless night ; a far different riighf r from tbe , one I spent before. ; , ' I received a note froai her, but I re turned it unopened. On the evening of the next day I re ceived another note from her, aud it was treated the same as the other re turned without being read. - 1 had just mitricy euough 16 pay 'my passage lor a fore'ga port, aud con cluded to do so that very night. All night long wo steamed onward, nnd every minute I was further from ber I hud loved nnd Inst. I cared not how far I was carried from ber now, as I did not wish to meet her again ; no, never. I obtained work in a certain city and soon became prosperous in business. Weeks rolled into months; months grew into years, and in this time I was made on heir to a largo fuitune. My uncle died, leaving his worldly wealth to me. I reoaived a letter, nnd on opening it, found it to be from Lillie. She said tbat she could eiptuia It all to Die it I would return to ber. "Da come to me, Charlie," ska laid In ber note. I resolved to return the following day, and rail on her. I would see ber again woulJ touch those rosy cherry lips once more.- So I - began to feel as happy again as t did on the evening when we sat in in the bay window. The same sweet old feeling was ovcrpowing the despondent one. I to 'k passage oo the steamer bound for her citv; I would soon see ber again. J '-' Who was my rival? It was true she had not written that I had no owe to call rival ; but had I not seen enough to prove that I had one? Perhaps it was her brother whom I had seen sittirig by her side. No! it was not. She was the only child. Who was it? I was sitting on the promenade deck of the steamer musing, wliee I was aroused from my reveries by a girlish voice, saying "Oh I no, Fred, don't tease me," I turned hall uruuud. "Lillie Wbately 1" I muttered. She was walking with a handsome young man; her arm was in his; and she was looking up sweetly into his luce. I looked closely at him as tkey passed me. Who was it? I thought. Wus it the same young man whom I had seen that night silting so lovingly by Lillie's side? Yes, it was he I It was my rival 1 This was the reason she would not promise to be my wife; this fellow had some claim upon her, no doubt. She had said, "I must fiud out some thing." I thought I knew now what that some thing was. Sue must first find if this man loved her, and if he did, why 1 could go to the winds. . ' This was a weak conclusion ; but you knw lovers aro apt to be rather weak- minded at times. They pas-ied nil again, and Ibis time I heard the young fellow speak. "Liilie, dear," be laij, "don't think any moro of that worthless felljw." "I cannot help but think of him. I loved Charlie and love him now." "lUt don't you love me, little one? Don't you I uve your old scbooliuate one bit? I waut you to lovo mo euly as " "Crash went a box en the deck, let fall by some careless Mbw, and it was the end of my bearing more. I lost the latter part of the sentence. The two disappeared from my sight. There was to be a grand ball that uve ning on board. Tne steamer was crowded with ladies and gentlemen dressed a la mode, and I was invited by a friend to participate in the pleasure. I procured a false beard, and odded numerous little changes to disguise my sulf. , I never was very bashful about enter ing the society of ladies and gentlemen of higher standing thao myself; but now there were strange misgivings at my heart. I felt as il 1 ought not to ge ia; but I soon conquered that ft cling, 'and Bionde arm with my friend I walked into the room. . I was introduced, as Mr, Uideaux. an t Assumed name for the occasion. I "Lillie Wbately U,' he bcllo this ere N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 18Y9. nig I am sure, Mr. Bideaux,' partaer; Id she set. ' said my "She is a lovely girl. ' There's many a roan io love with her now; yes, yes, she is so obj , beautiful," I an swered, barflfy 'codsclcHis trf the stress I laid upon the words. " W by joi pean ta ha T smittenr- with Lillie," said my fair companion, as she caught me looking earnestly at her, "Oh, no I far from it." A "Are you acquainted with her?" "Well that is n, aot " ' Come, then, Mr. Bideaux, Bad allow me to make you acquainted with her. I am sure you wish an introduction." "No, no, Miss Larelle, I beg to be excused ; I am not anxious to become acquainted with ber." "Well, come then, let us sit down." ' Certainly," I said, leading ber ta a seal, away from the noisy throng. "Are you well acqusiuted with ber?" I asked. , "I ought to be Lillie Is ray cousin, and I am visiting her now." "Ah I you are?" - "Yes she is very sad now, and, it is a wonder that she dances to night." "If it is any of my business, Miss Larelle. allow me to ask why she is sad 1" "I can confide in you, I think, and I will tell you a litt'e episode of her life. I am positive it will do ao harm, 'as I will mention no names." "As you like," I said noxious to hear anything concerning Lillie. "Well, to begin with, let me say tbat Lillie loved a young man in poor cir cumstances, when she could nave mar ried the most wealthy man in her city This shows the nobleness of soul. "U.i the evening ol the day 1 came (the day was April fool's day) to visit her, she proposed that we have a little sport. , My brother was along with me, and as we were very much alike in appearance, I donned his clothes, and sat in the parlor with cousin Lillie. "Pretty sopo wa heard brother , come in, and then La came toward the parlor door. I began to play the lover, think ing we would bare some sport with Fred. The door opened, nnd he step ped in ; not Fred, but her lover. "lie was surprised as much as we, and he rushed from the room madly why, Mr. IliJeam, what is the mat ter?" "Nothing ef any consequence only this healed room is a liltle suffocating to me. Please go on ; never mind,' answered, and 1 knew that my lace was a crimson color, for I always blushed very easiy. "You look very much affected," coa Untied my companion. "Well, cousin Lillie was very sad, and sorry she hud done so. She cried so hard that night She wrote several notes to her lover, but they vera returaei. unopened.. Sbe is still ta nopes ot meeting him some time." "And sbo shall meet him!" I ex cluimed. ' "What do you niear, air?" "Nothing at all. I will takt an in troduction to her now, if yu plense," . -"Very well, but it leerus to tne , you act very strangely." I was iutroduced to Lillie, and en. gaged her as a partner ia tba next set. ' After dancing, we seated ourselves to take some refreshments. Several parties bad gone out on the promenade deck, as it was a beautiful moonlight evening. "Miss'Wbatcly, will you promenade with me?" "ires, sir," sbe answered, placing her arm in mine. We walked out in the open air, and paced up nnd down the deck. We heard a sweet voice 'singing one of Moure's Melodies; we listened the words were " f hen fare time wolll my own dear love, This world has now for ns . No greater grief, no pain aov), Tim pain ot parting thus, dear love 1 The palu ot parting thus 1" I looked into the face of Lillie. She was crying. I knew why she was weep ing. "Lillie," I said, ' I know why you are crying now." 'Sir f she said, looking up. You are crying fr your Charlie." "What do you mesn'f" "I mean," said I, throwing off my disguise nnd turning to the light, "that I am your Charlie don't you know me?" 4 "Oh I" was was all she said, and sbe lell Into my arms not fainting;' no, kind rcsder, do not think that, for Lillie was none of your weak, affected girls. She was clasped to my heart with fervor. ; I am near the end of ray ftpry, and I hope tbe reider wi 1 excuse me if. 1 di net clise with a steamboat disaster, or some other horrible accident. She) ex E laired to me as did her cousin. I told er tbe words I heard a young man say to her, and she said : "Tbat was cousin Fred ; be is always teasing me, although be is married. We reached ber home tbat evening, and the oext day as we wandered la the grove near her residence, and while sbe set on a rustic seat, I appculed to ber for forgiveness of the pain my foolish jealousy had caused ber. . She cheerfully coo ceded this, and tbea I received her promise to become my wife, and also the consent of her father. Wa wore married iobo after, ana many a laugh do we have about my rival.

My Pear Sir : Having now a little peace and quietness, I sit dawa to is foras yoa of a dreadful bustle and coa- fusioa we ara ia front these blood-thirsty rebels, most of. whom arc, however, thank God, killed or dispersed. ' IV a are In a pretty mesa: can cot otbing to eat, atr any wine to drink, except whiskey ; and wbea we sit down to diaaer, we are obliged to stand with arms in both hands : whilst I write this letter, I hold a sword la one haod and a pistol in tbe other. I concluded, from tba beginuing, tbst this would ha the end of it j and I see I was right, for it is net half over yet. , At present there is such goings oo, that every thing is at a staad. I should have answered your letter a fortnight ago, but it came this morning. Indeed, hardly a mail arrives safe, with out being robbed. Yesterday the coach with the mails from Dublin was robbed near this town : but the bags bad been judiciously left behind, for fear of acci dents; aud by. good luck there was no body ia the coach, except two outside passengers, who had nothing fur the thieves to take. List Thursday an alarm was given, that a gang of rebels wero advancing hither, under the French standard ; but they had no colors, nor any drum ex cept bagpipes, mmediately every man ia tba place, including women and children, ran out to meet them. We soon found our force much too little : and they were tar too near f r us ta think of retreating ; io to it wa went: death was in every face ; but by the time half our little party woi killed, we began to be all alive. I be rebels for tunately had ao guas, except cutlasses and pikes: and as wa had plenty of muskets and ammunition, we put them all to the sword : not a Saul of them es caped, except some that war drowned in the adjoining bog; and. ia a very short time nothing was to be heard but silence. Their uniforms were all of different shapes and colours ia geaer al they were green.. After the action wa rummaged their cansp ; all we found was a few pikes without heads, a parcel of empty bottles full of water, and a bundle of blank French commissieus filled up with rishiseu's names. Troops are aow stationed every whera round the country, whith exactly squares with my ideas. Nothing, how ever, enn save us but a union, which would turn our barren hills Into fruitful valleys. have only leisure to add, that J am i great haste. Yours truly, J. B, P. S. K you do not receive this in course, it must hive miscarried, there' lore .write Immediately to let aae know. TO SLEEP WELL. Certain conditions are essential among which a good, well aired bed very itn; ortant. A bed 8 ept in for ight or ten hours cannot be well nired by being partly oponed, and a window thrown open for an hour in tbe morn mg. l or eight hours tbe bed is being warmed through and through by the bed as well as by the covering, and unless there be full exposure to a free circulation of nir for several hours every morning tbe accumulation will be such as will very soon render the bed totally unlit for occupancy. Iho sleeping room should be well ventilated by a steady change of air going on during the night as well as during the day. This cannot be acconi plished by a crevice ol an inch or two in a window, or by an hour's "airing in the morning, as most people seem to think. Ji is ngeed by nil physiologists tbat not much less than 803 cubic feet ef well ventilated space will suffice a runm 10x8 feet for each individual, in order that the blood may bo sufficiently aerated, u so far as this space is lessened, or the steady change of air hindered, just to tbat extent do we de prive the body of nourishment, for, as we have elsewhere statod, only by an ample supply uf oxygen can tbe bc,t of food be transformed into pare blaod, cr kept pure after it is made. THE LOGICIAN REWARDED. A farmer's son, hi had been bred at the university, coming home to visit his parents, a couple of chickens were brought to the table for supper, "can prove," said he, "by logic, that these two chickens are three." "Well, let us hear," said the old man. "This," cried tbe schollnr, ' is one ; and this is two; one and two make three." "Very good," replied the father, "your mother shall hove tbe first chicken, will have tbe second, and you, for your great learaiog, shall have the third." TRUTHS.

' " 1 The following incident took place ia Washington county,. Texas. The iurv of a circuit court, before whom a miser able wretch had been tried, returned a verdict of "guilty," and sugguested tbe "whipping post." The court then ad journed for dinner. Immediately after dinner the defendont'd. counsel, without consulting his client, moved for a new trial, and commenced reading the mo tion. "Hold on 1" whispered the client, pull ing at the counsel's coat-tails. "Don't eid that I" "Let nio nlone," muttered the lawyer, irritably : I'll attend to yuu when I've read tbe motion," "but 1 don't want you to read tbe motion," whined the agitated culprit. "Don't want mo to rend it? Why not: wnats tho mutter? In to get you a Bew trial !" going -iuc i eon t want a new trial, ex claimed the wretch. "Don't wau't one? Why not?" r. turued tho other heatedly, frowning from under bis eyeglasses. "'Causa it's too late," urged the client. "W lule you were all out to dinner tbe sheriff took me out, and he's whipped toe very rjiae on me. The motion was summarily with drawn. . NATURE PROCLAIMS A DEITY.
