THE MISTBESS OF THE CASTLE.
A NOBTH CAROLINA STORY.
In. an isolated, but picturesque portion
of North Carolina stands a stone resi
dence, known as "The Castle." It was
built by the owner, an4 ecc entrio and
scholarly old gentleman, as a defence
against the members of an ignorant and
reckless community that lived near.
These people were probably more inter
ested in the ben roost, the pig pen, and
the orchards attached to "Tbe Castle"
than in the person of the owner, Colonel
Duncan Campbell MacLeod.
Colonel MacLeod was a widower. He
owned about one hundred slaves, who,
under the supervision ot an overseer,
cultivated the broad acres which belong
ed to "The Castle." Colonel MacLeod'9
two children were married, and lived in
different Stales. His time was spent in
U: ,U - Kbnsrrt a BewerB.!
years his books took the place of wife,
children, and friends. Sometimes when
the half burned fire on the broad hearth
and the shadows of the waning twilight
caused him to close the volume before
him and invited him to retrospection, he
recalled, perhaps, brighf faces and tender
caresses. ie resemoieu iuo oiu uingiu.-
ana more nearly than any

- . ., j
the political battles so aeeperaieiy
waged by the Whigs and Democrats.
He concerned himeelf more about "Tbe
Mysteries of Isis" and the romantic my
fliolncrieH of the Orientals, the Greeks.
and the Latins. It was of more interest
to trace out the triune relationship of Isis,
Osiris, and Horus, of Jupiter, Neptune,
and Pluto, than to help put Henry Clay
or Andrew Jackson in the White House.
But the time came when the monotony
of tbis life became wearisome to the old
gentleman, and he adopted a "method for
relief, worthy of the ingenuity of the
representative young American who
cultivates his literary tastes by reading
polioe gazettes .and dime novels; To be
brief, he advertised in a number of North
ern papers for a wife. The advertise
ment was .

to correspond with a Northern lady

In less than a week after the appear

ceived about one hundred answers to it.
One of these, which was about the
twentieth he opened, was a$ wi-
lows :

him a summons to this effect : .

"KespectfaMy,
John Claek.
The old housekeeper received orders
to be prepared to receive guests that
night, and Colonel MacLeod, arrayed in
bis best suit of black cloth, and seated in
his rarely-used carriage, soon presented
himself at the entrance of the country
inn Everybody bad been kept perfectly
quiet.j The villagers knew of the arrival
of three strange guests. Their astonish
ment knew no bounds when several of
them were called into the parlor of the
uiaumgo uejoiuuuj; ui i
a graoeiui, wen-dressed, sell-possessed
youag woman to Colonel MacLeod. The
brother and clergyman were driven to
"The Castle" in tbe carriage with the
bride and groom. The OoloGol wao do
ferential. in his bearing toward the newly
made Mrs MacLeod, who calmy looked
out upon the beautiful landscapes that
extended for miles to each side of the
road, or answered in a low, soft voice,
the questions addressed to her. She
was more self-possed than any member
of the party. The Colanol had toe long
been a devotee ot mythical goddesses,
and bad worshipped them at too great
a distance, to avoid showing a slight
nervousness in the very presence of thiB
woman, who had so suddenly become a
part of himself. And then his daughter
and friends ! He did not care what they
thought of bis escapade, but would they
treat this fair and refined-looking bride
of his properly? This puzzled him
somewhat. With pardonable pride, he
pointed out to his new brother-in-law
and the strange clergyman, the broad
acres that belonged to "The Castle."
The amszament ol tbe housekeeper
and negroes on the arrival of the bridal
party may be imagined. But by the
time Mrs LacLeod and the visitors btd
descended into the sapper-room, where
amnle preparations nad Deen made, or-
der was restored. Uolonel MacLeod bad
called his household into the library and
A am .
announced tbe news with more than bis
usual dignity. When the graceful mis
tress entered the room on his arm, and
clad in a soft robe of white cashmere,
with a eipray of orange blossoms fastened
in the low coil of brown wavy hair, she
found half a dczon obatquious s'.aves,who
vied each other in showing her attention.
With a half smile and perfect self-posses
sion that gratinod and somewhat sur
prised the old Colonel, she nodded to
them and took her seat at the head of
the table behind the old fashioned silver
tea service. "Plucky, proud, and clever,'
he thought, as Be glanced irom the op-
posite end of the table, "but a mystery to
lsis, aiSiSjpms, flitgna, mjniB, cuw
dren, friends, all were forgotten for the
moment. The clergyman and the brother
were pleased with tbe evidences of wealth
aud thj gentility of the host, as well as
with his wines and fare. The evening
passed pleasantly. Next morning, on
leaving, Mr Clark said :
"Colonel MacLeod, I am reconciled to
my sisters caprice. We are orphans,

It is the strangest marriage on record. I
hope, however, it will be as fortune for
you as it seems to be for her."
"The advantage is all on mv side, I
assure you," gallantly replied the Col- I
onel," "and I shall spare no pains to
make her contented."
The negroes on the plantation thought
that "marster had naade a wonderful
match. They knew nothing of the lady's
confessed poverty. The neighbors were
incredulous, for our sage had not sought
to conceal the facts in the case. The
daughters were furious. They were so
angry tbat when their letters came, in
which they were to see their father again,
