LOVE AND THEFT. Franklin Coulter, a drv-coods clatk. lined as a private odc ol the' first Nun York regiou'ota in the late war. In the course of service he won the rank' of second lieutenant, then that of fitst lieu tenant, and n lally a brevet captaincy. towards the close ol the war his regi ment was encamped at a small village ot Virginia giiardiog a depot of supplies. It w is an easy an! pleasant service, and both officers and men delighted in it. Ue.ides the village, which ha1 only bceo depopulated ot its y ountr men,, there wore Beyers! fine, plantations in the uaigb- iliood, the property ot lanmies that had been weulthy and were KtHI proud. The young ladies ol the villa e and the ulmtalionj, although they grieved lor thoje who were avay, could not he ex pected to devote their entire time to that employment, and were not unailliog to tie consoled by their 'conquerors,' who tx erted themselves to provide all manner ol :amupeo)eot, so that time should not hang heavy on their han Is. ' At (he plantation :. which was Dearest the village Frank Coulter was a greiit layorito and a constant visitor. It was the home ol the Penohyns. a fam ily nf English descent, highlv considered in the lintghliorliofu!. At thnt 'tin.e the family was reduced to Mrs. Penohyn and her two daughters. Ada and Augusta, ber,liit'band bting dead, and her only soo in Lee a army. The yonogcr ot the d lUghteia, Augusta, was F.ank Coulttr's c' oir.e. Shsi was a beautiful brcnettc, peculiarly susceptihle to the charms ot a rcanly pres ence, and hid been too young at the open ing ol I bo war to claiii. a sweetrnart among the young uieu who went ' to tight. At the Penohyns Frank Coulter spent moit ol his spare tune, his agr'ivuble man ner making him welcome to all the lam and there was no doubt that lie wa evoted to Augusta. It was evident, ali-o. those who observed clo-ely, that she s ready to reciprocate Ins all ction whenever he tlioul t chooso lo dec'aro it Hut no wor Is ol love had as jet passed between them, and it is prohaMo that Cou'ter lelt that the uncertainties of war lid not justify him in making the dosired It-cUration One evening hs had staid at the Peno hyns' until it wa quite late, and was re tested to remain all munt, as he nan ilone on ( ne previous occasion, it.? con sented, and retired to Ins room at a rea sonable hour, as he would he obliged to have very early in the morning. Augusta Penohyn it ma'i'Bil seated on the po'r.h alone, enjoying the beauty of the summer night, and admiring the tnoou- liht as it was filtered through, tim vines. Phe was also thinking ot the hand-ome young Union soldier who had lately lelt er side, wondering whether lie really loved her, and wishing, il ho did, Hut be ould declare bimlt and end her ius pense. Frorp this reverie she wns nrnu-eJ by the sound ol a Iwht lootlall. Turning her head, she saw Frank Coulter approach ing her. lie had removed his Coat and hoois, but this partial undress was neither iiuuual nor pi.jei'tionaiilu, as the nights were very warm, and he was an Intimate Iriend. He did not seem U be looking at Au- eu.-ta ; indeed, bis eves weie strangely fixed upon vacancy ; but he crime to tier side, took har hand, and slowly and sol- j emnly spoke these words : 'Whatever may happen, Augusta, re. member that I love you truly and laith iully that my heart is entirely ours.'
