The I Arty Moon came down last night She did, yon needn't doubt it A lovely lad? drets d in white : I'll tell von all about it. They hurried Len and me to bed. And Annty said,. "Now, maybe That pretty moon up overhead Will bring ua down a baby. "Yon lie as quirt aa can be ; Perbap you'll catch her peeping Between the window-bars, to see If all the folks are sleeping. And then, if bih of yon keep still, And all the room is shady, She'll float across the window-sill, A bonnie white moon-lady. "Across the sill, along the floor. You'll sue her shining brightly, UnUl she comes to mother's door, And then she'll vanish lightly. But in the morningyca will find. If nothing happens, maybe, She's left us something nice behind A beautiful atar-baby." VTt didn't juft believe her then For Aunty's always chaffing : The tales she tells to me aud Leu Would make you die a-laucrhiug. Ami when she went out pretty soon, Len said. "That's Aunty's bumming : Tli ere ain't a bit of lady-moou, Nor any baby coming." I thongbt myself It way a fib. Ami yet 1 wasn't ceitaiu ; So I kept quiet in the crib, And peeped behind the curtain. I didn't mean to sleep a wink, Kut all without a warning. I dropped right oft' and don't you think, I never v.aktd till morning ! Then there was Auntv by my bed, And when J climbed and kissed her, She laughed and said, "You blcery-head ! You've got a little sister ! What made 3-ou phut j our eyes so soon ? rve hall' amind to scold you I'or down slie came, that lady-own, Kxactly : I told you '."' And truly it was not a joke, In spite of Leu's denying, For just the very time she spoke Ve beard the baby crying. . Th'- way we jumped and made a rush For mother'! room that minute ! B it Amity stepped 11", cryine, H'l-Ii ! T else you r han't go in it" And fO we had to tiptoe in, And keep as awful quiet A if it was a mitfbly sin To make a bit of riot. But. then) was baby, aoyhon 'i'he funniest little midget ! I fust wish you could peep in now, And see her squirm and fidget. I.en savs he don't believe it's true (lie isn't such a gaby) The moon had anything todo VYith bringing us that baby. But seems to me it's very clear, As clear as running water Last night there was no baby here. So something mutt have brought her '. .Vary E. Bradley, in Christian Union ONLY A LOVE STORY. We sat alone Nellie and I an open book on my lap, looking as dis consolate as any two people on the face of the earth could look. "It's no use striving longer," my mother had said. "The end must come sooner or later, and as well now as any time. I knew, when your father commenced this beastly speculation, what it would amount to, even if he had lived! You can marry Rupert Chichester, Nellie can go to 3Irs. Ingelow, and as for me, the poor house is open!" "Not so bad as that mother," I said; for her words smote me to the very heart. 1 hated to hear her speak so of my father my dear, kind, 2-atient father, whose body was scarcely cold in the grave! He had been a wealthy mer chant in New York f where I was brought up) but had failed. With the wreck of his fortune, wc moved to Texas. The city of O wai bo- ing built, and land was going at a very high rate. My father invested his al! in land, aud built a small house. It was the old story. Laud went down everything failed him, aud, just before 1 n mortgage was to la foreclosed, which should turn us all out beggars, he died. j Meanwhile, for two years previous to our going West, 1 had been keeping company with Rupert Chichester. He ; wished to marry mo beforo we went, bnt my father objected. "Virginia is young," he said, "and you are not very old. Y'ou can both j afford to wait awhile. Let two years pass; it then you love each other as you do now, you are weldome to her my boy." Rupert had to consent to the ar rangement. Two years had passed, almost, and Rupert had written to me that he was coming. ' 'What else can we do?" mv mother asked, petuantly. "I will give Rupert up, "I said slowly, for it cost me a desperate effort to make the sacrifice, "and stay here to take care of you and Nellie! " "You ! " she sneered. "What cauja girl of nineteen do ? Y'ou had better take Rupert, if he will have you ! " I turned away. My mind was made up, but I caanot say that I did not Buffer ! All that night long I lay awake, looking tho future straight in the face. I loved Itupert, and I would ,-y 111,1:1 v. 1 i i only to cease, rest, and commenco again The next morning T arose early. I put on my sun-bonnet fa crowd would have collected had I attempted to walk down Broadway with it on,) and start ed out to see Dr. Haverhill. His office was some two mileH away. When I arrived there, I found him alone. "What is the matter, Miss Vir ginia? " he asked. "Have you come to bo prescribed for? Yow look ill, child," ho contiuued, in a more sub dued tone. 'I fear vou are worrv ing! " "I want your advice, Doclor," 1 re turned, "but not iu regard to mr health." "You shall have it," ho said. Aud then I unfolded to liini my plan. "Do you think Mr. Chichester will give you up so easily ? " he queried. "I don'tthat is--" I stammered, "I don't know." , "If ho loves you, he will seo some other way out of your difficulties," he ' said, almost beneath his breath. Then aloud: "I will go over to Squire Ken- ' yon's with you, and seo if I cannot get ' him to extend your mortgage." "Thank you,"" I returned; and half i the burden seemed lifted from my ' fcl rm 1 (1 ro Knm'vA Tv',,rn i I gave me five years to pay it off in, pro- ! vtded that I paid a stipulated sum i every turee months. 1 agreed to that, j and then returned home, "Where have you been?" my mot her ' inquired. I "Over to Squire Kenyon's. See! lie j has given me live years longer in which ! to pay that mortgage; and I will do1 it!" ! My mother made no response, but I j coma seo sue was not so much pleased as I was. After breakfast, I went and hired a man it was spring-time and then came back. ( XpIIio -nusf hy and care for you j..-',, Steve," I said. ri,: 1 -;u invalid, and f-ir I am ,. ;: Our liii.rli needed a iv was one who 1 of care : for she always dissatisfied, and complaining at her lot, having been ' bronght up in case, An lionr later. I was holding the j plough, and working like a man, eager j to get as much done as 2ossible before linpert came. Two weeks passed, and one dav he ' nnexpectcdly arrived. I shall never forget how he Hushed, as he caught Bight of me, standing behind the I piougn, an tliat old sun bonnet, with my face hot from my labor. "Can this be you, Virginia ?" he asked, as he gave me a kiss, which was rather formal. I walked to the Louse with him, and Nellie, seeing us coming, ran to meet 113. "Is this you, Rupert ?" she cried, iu a little whirl of excitement. And he unceremonious! v mWi i,. up and kissed her warmly. "Pardon me !" he exclaimed, drop ping her ; "I really had forgotten that you had grown out of your baby days-" "I am fifteen," Nellie responded, ebWWg ber curls at him, "I wjahyou to understand tliat I am a young lady, sir." And with a demure little courtesy, she fluttered into the house, to an nounce his coming to mother. An hour later I Btole up to my room to make myself a little more represeut able. I had been looking after tea and had not seen Rupert five minutes. Nellie came running in. "He's splendid !" she exclaimed. "I had forgotten that he was half so nice. I don't see how he ever took a fancy to your brown eyes and brown hair ; for he admires blondes, and says my hair is beautiful, threading one of her long curls out through her fingers, where the sun-light fell upon it, and mado it look like molten gold. A pang shot through my heart. "Yes," I said, half uneoiisciouslv, "it is strange that linpert loves me." I went down stairs again and pre sided at the table. It was fully nine o'clock before I got to see Rupert alone. I commenced by saving that I must give him up. lie was silent for a short time. "Do as you think best, Virginia,'" he observed, at last. "You know your own affairs." I turned my far? away. I had loved this man, God only knows how well, and it hurt mc that ho was :so cold al'ont his release. "I must have a cigar," ho said, in a few mcraents. " you oh'y i to my stnokiug hero '!" "I answered lint 1 ilil int ; s;ud he smoked as though cwry libre in my heart was about being torn apart.

Every night 1 cried regularly about my looks foolish and weak, you will say, but 1 could not help it. I had been brought up a lady, and my hard work, my freckled and sun burned face, my red hands, seemed so hateful, that I almost hated myself. I knew that it was that which had turned Rupert fr&m me, and though I whispered to myself that I was doing my duty by thus earning bread for us all, and that a man whose love would go so easy, was better lost than re tained, 1 still wept bitterly over it Every day Dr. Haverhill came over to see how 1 was progressing, lie no ticed that I was growing thinner and sadder.

From the Richmond Dispatch, Oct. SO. xii r. soiTHEnx historical : SOCIETY. ADDRESSES BY GEN. EARLY, WADE HAMPTON, REV. DR. CURRY, REV. DR. HOGE, MAJOR STILES AND OTHERS. The meeting of the Southern His torical Society, in the Senate Chamber, last night, in spite of the number of other meetings and attractions in the citv, was attended by a large number of "Confederate officers and soldiers, a number of ladies and other visitors, forming a most appreciative audience for the distinguished gentlemen who had been invited to address the Society. As at the appointed hour the tower ing form of General Wado Hampton ( accompanied by Generals Early, Eitz. Lee, Maury and others) moved up the aisle, the memories of the Confederacy came rushing back again, and "old rebels" felt happy once more. After prayer by the Rev. Dr. Wood bridge, General Early introduced the exercises by saying that astho Southern Historical "Society met to-night for the lirst time in Richmond, the Capital of the late Confederate States, it would be proper for him to make a brief statement of the origin and present status of the Society. lie said that the meeting last Sum mer seemed to have aroused certain alarmists at the North, who appeared to think that a new rebellion was be ing organized, and he regretted that some of the Southern journals had reiterated their utterances as soon as they gave the cue. lie then spoke of the importance and difficulties of the work of this Society with our archives in the hauds'of those whoso interest it is to j falsify our history, ; stairs in the same and most of our hands and said that the only weapons we now pro posed to use were the pen and tongue of truth, in tins new reuemoii vu would tight with the pen the hosts of error, and that, too, not with the bloody spirit of those knights of the pen who, during the late war, advo cated the "black flag," and wrote most blood-thirsty exhortations to others to go into dangers which then scrupu lously avoided for themselves. He then "went for" the so-called historians of the war in his character istic style, and thus illustrated the im portance of this Society, to the support of which he earnestly exhorted all to rallv who were not willing to have j their sons and brothers branded for all tune as "rebels and traitors It was not proposed to ajpoint a historian historians are not appoint ,Yl but to collect the material for the grand work. He spoke of the especial ol ligation we are here in Virginia to s material for the history, not simply of our own State, but of the uoble"men of aH tho States, who came to our elcfenct. He paitl an eloquent tribute to the sous of North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Ala bama, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and other States (giving a bright gal axy of names of fallen heroes,) and in sisted, that as all of the Southern States are willing to do full justice to Virginia, so we should be ready to lead the van in eloing honor to anel placing rigid on the record the noble soldieiv; of the other States who fought a. d fell on our soil. Iu conclusion he desired to say that if there was hrre present any sensitive p ditieian or editor who feared to have his nerves shocked, he would now give him au opportunity to retire, and would advise him to do so. He now had the honor of intro ducing to the audience a distinguished i..ou ot the chivalrous though oppress ed State of South Carolina a man whose sacrifices and noble services were equal our l;:triot add nothing tht! name ol to those of any other of soldiers. He needed to more when he announced (XNIII.U. V.AUi: ilAMITON. Aftvr the loud and long-continued applause with which he was greeted by h s old comrades heel subsideel, lieu eral Hampton begun his address by saying that he had preferred to have cunipaed with the suggestion of the distinguished President of the Society, aml !: nnv eorp ; the spoken ol tlie cavalry A i ::i v of Northern Yir- ginia. He hud, at the vemiest of our great eiiieitaai c.-enerai 11. K.

J To regarded t his Society as an ap peal from the distorted prejudices of our enemies b justice and right, and aii attempt to show to our children that iii lh great civil war wo were not 'rebels and traitors," but patriots bttuggsii.ig or the cause of justice, i'ighteoiiMies and truth. lie gave a most ivid picture of the conditio!! of Iheeouutrv the present tiite of society and of the Government until here iu old Virginia, who has ' cjiitribiied so largely to the whole country, there is now going on a bitter struggle as to whether the grand old Commonwealth shall bo able to free herself from the dominion of the Afri-i-aii and Jiis baser while allies. We are met to take counsel together under these circumstances to vindi cate our cause and o.ir martyred dead, and to .-how to the world that these men were not traitor. 5. He explained in some detail the objects of the Society, and said that it appeals to all Southern men and (by the gallantry of the President, Gen eral Early ) to all women, too, to tinite for these important objects. lie paid a most touchingly eloquent tribute to the women of theJSouth and their work during the war every home where there was a woman con tained a x inter of charitij and spofce of their noble mission in teach gin our children the truth of history" He ppoko ably aud earnestly of he ephemeral character of military suc cess, and insisted that principle and iruiu win yei iriumpn lie then took a most hopeful view of tue future, and cited apt illustra tions from history to show that pros perity and peace may yet come to bless our desolated Southern land. Yet whatever fate betides as equals in the governmont or as inferiors he would exhort our people to acquit themselves like men. "Do your duty and leave results to God," and we will yet be prosperous, happy and free. We regret that we cannot give a fuller report of General Hampton's t . -1 , interrupted witn entnusiastic applause, j General Early then appropriately ! introduced Iiev. Dr. Curry, whose ' address as it related chiefly to the cit 1 history of the Confederacy) we report very fully: APDKESS OF EKV. I)U. ITRRY. Sallust, in tho introduction to one of his works, complains of the want of associated effort for the collection and preservation of the materials of his tory, and says that to individual enter prise was left the duty of gathering and perpetuating tho memorials of the past. It is quite common for histori ans to lament the loss of facts and in cidents of the highest interest to his tory, for no labor, however arduous, and no research, however profound, can always bring to light facts which are lost. An association like this has a valuable office and shouid apply its energies to stimulating the collection of documents bearing on ou? Confed erate history. Officers and other per sons haying special knowledge should prepare what the French call Memoi tea pour scrvir to aid the future his torian who shall delineate the brief but eventful life of the Confederacy. Our great chieftain, in my humble opinion, would have served his coun try better in this manner than by pre siding over a college, however valuable his labors as an educator. He would thus have done mora for the "boys in gray" he lovetl so well and for "the lost cause" and its vindication. What ever General Lee might have written would have passed unchallenged be fore the tribunal of authentic history. His failure to perform this eminently patriotic service, growing out of his scrupulous conscientiousness, should be repaired as far as possible by the active contributions of his comrades. An account, historical and military, of his campaigns by that greatest living master of the art of war, General Joe Johnston, would enable some future Jomini or Napier to give an intelligent and correct criticism of our successes and failures. Hun J reds of persons have incidents, interesting anel illus trative, that must soon perish if not committetl to unfoigetting paper. Time is as remorseless as Saturn in devouring its own offspring. Unfor tunately for historical accuracy and impartiality the winning side hi a civil war retains or becomes the govern ment, holds the Hag and intercourse with foreign nations, has the political supremacy, makes the laws, controls the immediate public opinion, and manufactures history. In writing history it would bo ab surd to suppose that there are no facts but such as are material and visible. That which we are accustomed to hear calleil the philosophy of history, which consists in showiner the relations of events wi.h each other, the chain which connects them, the causes and effects of events, this is history just as much as a description of battles and all the other exterior events which it recounts'. In the light of these reflections of the profound and philosophic Guizot, who still happily lives in a green old age, bearing testimomy for Christi anity amiel French infidelity and Eu ropean rationalism, our civil history is worthy of appropriate recital. Neces sarily the legislation during the war wore very largely a military aspect. Supply of troops, food, and munitions of war was the paramount question. Adverse criticisms on the Confederate Congress are generally absurd or ridiculous. The most sagacious and comprehensive statesmanship, the highest civic ability of Cobb, Stephens, and Toombs, Withers, Barnwell, ancl Chesnut, Clay, Walker, Smith, Yan cey, Clopton, and Chilton, Benjamin and Harris, Hemphill and Wigfall, and Regan, Rives, Hunton, Preston, and Tyler had, and could have had, no proper field for display. The South, prior to secession, certainly by conces sion of all, contributed her fair quota of executive, legislative, and judicial ability and integrity. Some of this political wisdom and knowledge found exhibition in our Constitution, which is the embodiment of accepted South ern ideas of government. It is the crystalization of States' rights, strict construction, and well-defined limita tions. Apart from the ,perpetuaily-ex- j tinct question of African slavery anel secession, there were provisions in 1 that instrument which the dominant J section might find worthy of incorpo- ration into our Federal organic law. i A noted Northern journalist, in a j recent "interview" on the subject of j C:esari?.m, made the slanderous asser- i tiou that the South entered into a : revolution iu order to enthrone a scion : of British royalty. Every clause of the Constitution and every principle that underlay our movement put the stamp of falsehood upon the allega tion. The single term, the iueligi- , bility, the increased responsibility of our Executive, the diminution of Ex- j ecutive patronage by preventing re movals except on assignment of ade quate cause, more exact limitations of ; the powers of Congress, more careful ! cruardiucr of appropriations and cx- panditures, were all in the teeth of such a charpo. The Confederate Gov eminent hail its origin in jealousy of Federal usurpation, and was au un- mistakablt; protest ugaiust all forms of centralization I have no sympathy with any whis perings favorable to a monarchy. This continent is dedicated to republican institutions. Our whole history at the South, before and during the war, has been in oipositiou to concentration of I power in a central head. Uur object was to decentralize, to guard the rights and remedies of the States and the property of citizens. Credit-Mobilers and colossal frauds grow out of cen tralization. Improper notions of the ; powers and duties of a general govern- meut have generated this fearful de i moralizatioii in reference to elections and olhces whieh forebodes such peril t the licpublic.

Scotland ! and England had long years of bloody wars, and now Scotland is aa loyal to Queen Victoria as England. Writers en eacn side defend their ancestors and sing their prowess and patriotism, and tho Government binds Scotchmen hy exhibitions of justice, magnanimity, and nobleness of soul. In accepting all the legitimate consequences of our defeat, in pledging fealty to the Gov ernment, in desiring earnestly its pros perity and glory, it surely cannot be desired or expected that the honest convictions of years shall be disowned and that the argument of force shall persuade us to the expediency of con solidation. A true citizen of the North ought to be willing to do justice to the motives and principles of the South, and to the unsurpassed gallantry and heroism of our men and women. Should another war occur to resist for eign invasion or protect constitutional guaranties, the Grants and McClellans can desire no trner, 1 traver, or more patriotic men than those who followed ! the flag and shared the fortunes of our j Stuarts and Wheelers and Hamptons, i onr Ilardees and Eariys, onr .Taeksons! Johnstonn, and Lees, General Early next introduced. TIKV. DP.. MOflE, as one who, if he did not bear arms, yet in his appropriate sphere contrib uted much to keep up the spirits of the soldiers and help the cause. Hr. Hoge said that he had been absent from home, had only to-day received his invitation, and had come, not to speak, but simply to express his deep interest in this Society, and nis willingness to do all in his power to promote its interests. The next best thing to have suc ceeded is to write a correct history of our struggle. He had regarded our slruggle as only second to the first Revolution, and not second in true heroism and patriotism. If we had no ' Washington we had a Lee; and if he was not sufficient to match the Father of his chantry we could throw into the scalo our Jackson, anc Johnston, and other living heroes. Much is now said of good wishes for this great Union, and in all this he most heartily concurred, provided the States of the South are granted full equality with the other States; other wise all of the prosperity and glory would be but the gilding of the crown of a despot. Dr. Hoge then took his seat amid loud applause, and General Early next introduced HAJOB KOBEET STTLES as one who was sent io him as a lieu tenant of engineers, but said that he diil not want to command working parties, but to join the artillery and go into the fights. Beginning with a plea sant story on Cteneral Early, Major Stiles said that he had Dever apolo gized, and never meant to apologize on earth, aud he did not expect to be called on to apologize in Heaven, for having been an humble Confederate soldier. He caae as one from the ranks to talk to his comrades. He would have this Society meet squarely the real issues of the war, and write the history without any apology to auv. He thought that onr real difficulty was in the apathy of our friends, and he would seek to remove this by stir ring the soldiers' memory and pride, and kindling anew their enthusiasm. He eloquently refuted the popular idea that the camp is the school of vice ; said that he had found ic promotive of real piety, anel wondered that we had not had more such men as Havelock, Hedley, Vickers and Stonewall Jack son. He insisted upon the value of the soldier who was after all at the very bottom of the life of the State. He then drew a vivid and touching picture of the life, the hopes, anel the dreams of the noble soleliers of the Confederacy, and contrasted it with the life we lead now. He insisted that the soldiers ought to come together and revive the memories of those heroic days. He told a touching story of the evacuation of Fredericksburg by the Twenty-first Mississippi of how the Captain of the rear-guard (Lane Bran don), upon recognizing as the captain of the leading company of the Massa chusetts regiment, who was advancing, his old chum of Harvard, suffered himself to be put under arrest rather than retreat before him of how a rough sergeant rushed back, and at tho peril ot his life snatched up a uttie girl who was playing with the Hying shell of how that baby was behind that historic stone-wall nurseel tenderly by the rough men during all of that terrible fight and of how, at the close of the battle, Sergeant Denham sprang to the front with the baby on his shoulders, called on the Twenty-first to follow those f-olot's, and carried the child back to its almost distracted mother. He gave a most thrilling incident of the heroism with which, at Spotsyl vania, a man of the Richmond How itzers fired and kept back a column of the enemy when the infantry had all retreated of one of the men who fought his way down the line with his frying-pan and of a touching scene of prayer with a dying Federal soldier. He related thrilling incidents of the evacuation of Chaffin's farm and the retreat, which we regret our space will not allow US to give, antl asked if the worltl should ever know the true story of these deeds of heroism. He closed with nn eloquent api?al to his fellow-soldiera to pay the debt they owed to martyred comrades, and a pledge that he would Beck to do his own pait. Major Stiles's address thrilled every heart ; he was frequently interrupted with applanse, and was applauded to the eclio as he took his seat. sorriiEitx MACJAzrxE.

S I It It A I T. A correspondent tiohc writes from i.f the St Washing TiOiiis 11 that crTorts have been incite to draw Andrew Johnson in reference to execution of Mrs. Surratt, but he cliues,beiug interviewed until he have an official investigation. In out tiie pri- vate conversation he protests that he j knew very little about the efforts made j for the unfortunate woman's reprieve ; or commutation. Immediately after the trial a 2etitiou in her favor vas j sent to him, but he elid not then feel ; like extending executive clemency, j Subsequently, he savs, Preston King ' s ami others interfered to prevent peti- tions from reaching him : and on the morning of the exeeutiou Mr. King positively prohibited Mrs. Surratts daughter from seeing him on an errand of mercy. It will be rerienibered that soon after this Mr. Kir g committed suicide by drowning in the North river. Johnson feels very sore on this subject, although he avows his ability to mate a prood record for himself ! when the subject is officially investi- i gated. We fail to see how Mr. Johnson, or ; i any other official of the Government I under his administration, connected ; with the murder of this poor woman, ! can make a trootl record.

General Early stated that Colonel G. T. Pickett had offered the Society a copy of the archives sold by him to the United States'govcrumcut. General Wiso made some remarks explaining a plan of history he thought should be written and favoring the acceptance of the "archives', to be used as their deserved. General Wise also spoke of the I iat tle of Drewry's Bluff, and said if ten thousand men from the Army of Northern Virginia had been sent to rc enforce Beauregard that Butler, in stead of being bottled up, would have been caught and ehe army underBeau regard would have crossed over and flanked Grant's left wing, and the Army of the Potomac would never have seen the James. General Early explained that had 10,000, or'eTen f,000 men, been drawn from the Army of Northern Virginia, it would have had to begin its retreat - nt, imw t.lmt. th Pntiro in f on tr fr.rr.o of Lee at Spotsylvania Court Hoise did not exceed 110,000. After pome further rerna-ks on the same subject from General Wise, tie Society ad journed to re-assemble at the call of the Secretary.
