I -: .' ; S ' for Nannie and " B " for Ben, I gee them now a I saw them then, On the bark of the oak tree wed. She tat waist-deep to tha clover white, And the liquid pold of the June sunlight Swept over her eweet young head. Ami I stood carving the letters twain, Tbat time and tempest has all In vain . Striven to blur and Wot ; They live in the oak tree's dusky grain, SUiiiped as their memory on my brain, Changing, changing, and fading not. Ob, the vows that I vowed that day 1 Tbeir broken shards in my bosom stay, Wounding H hour by hour ; Could I be false to onrso true Dared I be ernel, my l&ns, to you, Oh, Nannie, my Sly flower Ere the snow had whitened those letters twain, In the old church i porch you hid your pain As I and my bride passed by ; Your eyes were brave, but jour cheeks grew white, Tbe cheek tbat I should have pillowed that night, Where it never now may lie. Little Nannie, you are at rest. The buttercups growing over your breast, C lose by the church-yard gate ; But, ah ! I live to rue the day Gold tempted my steps from love away, And mine is the sadder fate ; For Id give the rest of my life to-night To gee you sit iu the clever white, The sun on your locks of gold. And carve again as I carved them then, N for Nannie and B " for Ben, On the bark of the oak tree old. COM SKKCIAX TBATEIEBS, Drai r' UcBa Now in V.rcs. Jan. 24, Hurst, Miller & Co., Baltimore.

The original grantee was Count , assume the name to be De Charlen ; the old Creoles never forgive a public mention. He was the French Kirie's commissary. One day, called to France to explain the lucky accident of the commissariat having burned down with his account books in side? 4ie -left his wife, a Choctaw Comp tesser behind. Arrived at court, his excuses were ac cepted, and that tract granted him where afterwards stood Belles Demoiselles Plan tation. A man cannot remember every thing! In a fit of forgetfulnesshe married a French gentlewoman, rich and beautiful, and "brought her out." However, "All's well that nds well;" a famine had been in-' the colony, and the Ch'octaw Comptesse had starred leaving naught but a half caste orphan family lurking on the edge of the settlement, bearing our French gentle woman's own new name, and being men tioned in Monsieur's will. And the new Comptdsse she tarried but a i Welve-month, left Monsieur a lovely son, and departed, led out of this vain world by the swamp-fever. From this son sprang the proud Creole family of De Charlcu. It rose straight up, Pft. H?v WfH9?-Vi? .,f'eraon!' tf.11' branchless, slender, palm-like; and nnally, in the time of which I am to tell, flowered with all the rare beauty of acentury-plant.in Artemise, Innocentc, Felicity, the twins Marie and Martha, Deontine and little Septinia; the seven beautiful daughters for whom their, home had been fitly named Bejles tteBloiselles. The Count s grant had once been a long lnte, round which the Mississippi used Poit tawbii;!, and seethe, and foam, that it was liorricj, to Iwhold. Big whirlpools would open and wheel about in the savage eddies under tne low . Dante, ana ciose up again, and others open, and spin, and disappear. Great circles 6t muddy surface would boil up irpm hundreds oi leet Delow, ana gloss over, and seem to float away sink, come back, again finder water, and with only a soft hiss, surge up again, and again drift off, an,d, vanish. Every few minutes the loamy pank' tvould tip down a great load of earth upon. its. besieger, and fall back a foot somotimes a yard ana tne wntning river would press after, until at last the Pointe was. .quite swallowed up, and the great river glided by in a majestic curve, and, asked no more; the' bank stood fast, pie '' caving ", became a forgotten misfor tune, and the diminished grant was a long, sweeping, , willowy bend, rustling with miles, of sugar-cane. . Coming up the Mississippi in the sailing craft of, those early days, about the time one first could descry the white spires of the old.. St. Louis Cathedral, you would be pretty sure to spy, just over to your right under the levee, Belles Demoiselles Man sion, with its broad veranda and red paint ed, cypress roof, peering over the embank ment, Jlke a hird in the nest, half hid by the ay.enue of willows .which one of the departed De Charleus- he that married a Marotr-had planted on the levee's crown. The house stood unusually near tne river, facing eastward, and standing four-square, with an immense veranda htit its sides, and a flight of steps in front spreading broadly downward, as we open arms to child, " From' thec veranda nine miles of titer were seen ; and in theitcompass, near at hand, the shadv Erarden fnll of rare and beautiful1 flowenfj farther away broad fields of clane and ricey and the distant quarters of the '.slated.' nd on' the horizon evert rtrtiert " darktelt Of cypres forest. !- The master war old Colonel De Uharleu Jean. Albert Henri Joseph De Charleu Marot, and ' ' Colonel " by the grace of the first American governor. Monsieur he would not speak to any one who called him " Colonel " was a hoary-headed patriarch. His step was firm, his form erect, his in tellect strong and clear, his countenance classic, serene, dignified, commanding, his manners courtly, his voice musical fasci nating. He bid had his vices all his life; but had borne them, as his race do, with a serenity of conscience and a clean ness of mouth that left no outward blem ish on the surface of the gentleman. He had gambled in Royal Street, drank hard in Orleans Street, run his adversary through in the duelling-ground at Slaughter-house Point, and danced and quarrelled at the St. Philippe-street-theatre quadroon balls. Even now, with all his courtesy and boun ty, and a hospitality which seemed to be entertaining angels, he was bitter-proud and penurious, and deep down in his hard finished heart loved nothing but himself, his name, and his motherless children. But these I their ravishing beauty was all but excuse enough for the unbounded idol atry of their father. Against these seven goddesses he never rebelled. Had they even required him to defraud old De Car los I can hardly say. Old De Carlos was his extremely distant relative on the Choctaw side.' With this single exception, the narrow thread-like line of descent from the Indian wife, dimin ished to a mere strand by injudicious alli ances, and deaths in the gutters of old New Orleans, was extinct. The name, by Span ish contact, had become De Cailos: but this one surviving bearer of it was known to all, and known only as Injin Charlie. One thing I never knew a Cieole to do. He will not utterly go back on the ties of blood, no matter what sort of knots those ties may be. For one reason, he is never ashamed of his or his father's sins; and for another he will tell you he is "all heart." So the different heirs of the De Charleu estate had always strictly regarded the rights and interests of the De Carloses, es pecially their ownership of a block of dilap idated buildings in a part of the city, which had once been very poor property, but was beginning to be valuable. This block bad much more than maintained the last De Carlos through a long and lazy lifetime, and, as his household consisted only of himself and an aged and crippled negress, the inference was irresistible that he "had money." Old Charlie, though by alias an " Injin," was plainly a dark white man, about as old as Colonel De Charleu, sunk in the bliss of deep ignorance, shrewd, deaf, and, by repute at least, unmerciful. The Colonel and he always conversed in English. This rare accomplishment, which the former had learned from his Scotch wife the latter from up-river traders they found an admirable medium of com munication, answering, better than French could, a similar purpose to that of the stick which we fasten to the bit of one horse and breast-gear of another, whereby each keeps his distance. Once in a while, too, by way of jest, Jt,nglisu lound its way among the ladies of Belles Demoiselles, always signifying that their sire was about to have business"with old Charlie. Now a long-standing wish to buy out Charlie troubled the Colonel. He had no desire to oust him unfairly; he was proud of being always fair; yet he did long to engross the whole estate under one title. Out of his luxurious idleness he had con ceived this desire, and thought little of so slight an obstacle as being already some what in debt to old Charlie for money bor rowed, and for which Belles Demoiselles was, of course, good, ten times over. Lots, buildings, rents, all might as well be his, he thought, to give, keep or destroy.. " Had he but the old man's heritage. Ah! he might bring that into existence which his belle demoiselles had been begging for, 'since many years;' a home ana such a home in the gay city. Here he should tear down this row of cottages, and make his garden wall ; there that long rope-walk should give place to vine-covered arbors; the bakery yonder should make way for a costly conservatory; that wine warehouse should come down, and the mansion go up. It should be the finest in the State. Men should never pass it, but they should say, ' The palace of the De Charleus; a family of grand descent, a people of elegance and bounty, a line as old as France, a fine old man, and seven daughters as beautiful as happy; whoever dare attempt to marry there must leave his own name behind him!' "The house should be of stones fitly set, brought down in ships from the land of ' les Yankees," and it should have an airy belvedere, with a gilded image tip-toeing and shining on its peak, and from it you should see, far across the gleaming foldB of the river, the red roof of Belles Demoi selles, the country-seat. At the big stone gate there should be a porter's lodge, and it should be a privilege even to see the ground." Truly they were a family fine enough, and fancy-free enough to have fine wishes, yet happy enough where they were, to have had no wish but to live there always. To those who, by whatever fortune, wandered into the garden of Belles Demoi selles some summer afternoon as the sky was reddening towards evening, it was lovely to see the family gathered out "upon the tiled pavement at the foot of the broad front steps, . gayly chatting and jesting, with that ripple of laughter that comes so pleasingly from a bevy of girls. The father would be found seated in their midst, the centre of attention and compli ment, witness, arbiter, umpire, critic, by his beautiful children's unanimous appoint ment, but the single vassal, too, of seven absolute sovereigns. Now they would draw their chairs near together in eager discussion of some new step in the dance, or the adjustment ot some rich adornment. Now they would start about him with excited comments to see the eldest fix a bunch of violets in his button-hole. Now tbe twins would move down a walk after some unusual flower, and be greeted on their return with the high pitched notes of delighted feminine surprise. As evening came on they would draw more quietly about their paternal centre. Often their chairs were forsaken, and they grouped themselves on the lower steps, one above another, and surrendered themselves to the tender influences of the approaching night. At such an hour the passer on the river, already attracted by the dark figures of the broad-roofed mansion, and its woody garden standing against the glowing sun set, would hear the voices of the hidden group rise from the spot in the soft har monies of an evening song ; swelling clearer and clearer as the thrill of music warmed them into feering, and presently joined by the deeper tones of the father's voice ; then, as the daylight passed quite away, all would be still, and he would know that the beautiful home had gathered its nestlings under its wings. And yet, former vagary, it pleased them not to be pleased. By and by " Arti!" called one sister to another in the broad hall, one morning mock amaze ment in her distended eyes "something is goin' to took place ! " " Comm-e-n-t?" long-drawn perplex ity. "Papa is goin' to town! " The news passed up stairs. " Inno! " one to another meeting in a doorway "something is goin' to took place ! " " Qu'ett-ce que e'est ! ' vain "attempt at giuffness. " Papa is goin' to town 1 " The unusual tidings were true. It was afternoon of the same day that the Colonel tossed his horse's bridle to his groom, and stepped up to old Charlie, who was sitting on his bench under a China-tree, his head, as was his fashion, bound in a Madras handkerchief. The " old man " was plain ly under the effect of spirits, and smiled a deferential salutation without trusting himself to his feet. " Eh, well Charlie 1 " the Colonel raised his voice to suit bis kinsman's deafness "how is those times with my friend Charlie?" "Eh ?" said Charlie, distractedly. " Is that goin' well with my friend Charlie ? " " In de house call her " making a pretence of rising. " Nm, non 1 1 don't want "the speaker paused to breathe "ow ia collection V "Ohl",6aid Charlie, "every day he make me more poorer! " What do you hask for it ? " asked the nlanter. indifferently, desisnatine the house by a wave of his whip. " Ask for w'at t " said Injin Charlie. " De house ! What you ask for it ? " "I don't believe," said Charlie. "What you would tate for it! "cried the planter. "Wait for w'at?" "What you would tale for the whole block ? " ' ' I don't want to sell him ! " " I'll give you ten thousand doUah for it. "Ten t'ousand dollah for dis house? Oh, no, dat is no price. He is blame good old house dat old house." (Old Charlie and the Colonel never swore in presence of each other). "Forty years dat old house didn t had to be paint! 1 easy can cet fifty t'ousand dollah for dat old house." "Fiftv thousand picayunes: yea" said the Colonel. " She's a good house. Can make plenty money," pursued the deaf man. "That's what make you so rich, eh, Charlie ? " "Non, I don't make nothing. Too blame clever, me, dat's de troub'. She's a good house make money fast like a steam boat make a barrel full m a week I Me, I lose money all de days. Too blame clever." "Charlie!" "Eh?" " Tell me what you'll take "Make? I don't make nothing. Too blame clever." " What will you take ? " " Oh ! I got enough already half drunk now." " What will yeu take for the 'ouse ? " " You want to buy her ? " "I don't know" (shrug) "may&e if you sell it cheap." " She's a aully old house." There was a long silence, old Charlie commenced " Old Injin Charlie is a low down dog." " Cest vrai, ovi!" retorted the Colonel, in an undertone. "He's got Injin blood in him." The Colonel nodded assent. "But he's got some blame good blood, too, ain't it ? " The Colonel nodded impatiently. ,; Bien ! Old Charlie's Injin blood says, sell de house, Charlie, you blame old fool ! ' Mais, old Charlie's good blood says, Charlie! jf you sell dat old house, Charlie, you low-down old dog, Charlie, what le Compte De Charleu make for you grace-gran-muzzer, de dev' can eat you, Charlie, I don't care.' " "But you'll sell it anyhow, won't you, old man ? " No!" And the no rumbled off in muttered oaths like thunder out on the Gulf. The incensed old Colonal wheeled and started off. " Curl !" (Colonel) said Charlie, stand ing up unsteadily. The planter turned with an inquiring frown. " I'll trade with youl " said Charlie. The Colonel was tempted. " 'Ow'l you trade ?" he asked. " My house for yours ! The old Colonel turned pale with anger. He walked very quickly back, and came close up to his kinsman. "Charlie '."he said. "Injin Charlie" with a tipsy nod. But by this time self-control was return "ing. "Sell Belles Demoiselles to you ? " he said in a high key, and then laughed "Ho, ho, ho!" and lode away. A cloud, but not a dark one, overshad owed the spirits of Belles Demoiselles Plan tation. The old master, whose beaming presence had always made him a shining Saturn, spinning and sparkling within the bright circle of his daughters, fell into musing fits, started out of frowning rever ies, walked often by himself, and heard business from his overseer fretfully. No wonder. The daughters knew his closeness in trade, and attributed to it his failure to negotiate for the Old Charlie buildings so to call them. -They began to depreciate Belles Demoiselles. If a north wind blew, ik was too cold to ride. If a shower had fallen,' it was too muddy to drive. In the morning the garden was wet. In the evening the grasshopper was a burden. Ennui was turned into capital ; every headache was interpreted a premo nition of ague ; and when the native exu berance af a flock of ladies without want or a care burst out in laughter in the father's face, they spread their French tiyes, rolled up their little hands, and with rigid wrists and mock vehemence vowed and vowed again that they only laughed at their misery, and should pine to death unless they could move to the sweet city. "Oh! the theatre! Oh! Orleans Street! Oh! the masquerade ! the Place d'Armes ! the ball ! " and they would call upon Heaven with French irreverence, and fall into each other's arms, and whirl down the hall singing a waltz, end with a grand collision and fail, and, their eyes streaming mem ment, lay the blame on the slippery floor. that would some day be the death of the whole seven. , Three times more the fond father, thus goaded, managed, by accident business accident to see old Charlie and increase his offer; but id vain. Ho' finally went to him formally. "Eh t " said the deaf and distant rela tive. "For what you Want him, y: eh ? Why you don't stay where yo. halways be 'appy f Dis is a blame old rAt-hole good for old Injin Charlie dat's all. Why you don't stay where you be halways 'appy ! Why you don't buy somewheres eise r" ' " That's none of your business," snapped the planter. Truth was, his reasons were unsatisfactory even to himself. A sullen silence followed. Then Charlie spoke: j s " Well, now, look here; 1 sell you old Charlie's house." Bien.' and the whole block,"' said the Colonel. " Hold on,? said Charlie. "I sell von de 'ouse and de block. Den I go and git drunk, and go to sleep ; dc dev' comes along and says, ' Charlie ! old Charlie, you blame low-down old dog, wake up! What you doin' here ? Where's de 'ouse what Monsieur le Compte give your grace-gran -muzzer ? Don't you sec dat fine genty- man, De Charleu, done gone and tore him down and make him over new, you blame old fool, Charlie, you low-down old Injin dog!" f " I II give sou forty.thousand dollars," said the Colonel. "For de 'ause?" "For all."; The deaf man shook bis head. " Forty-five ! " said the Colonel. '"What a ilie? For what you tell me What a lie? I don't tell you no lie." iiNon,non! i I give you forty-fiteT" shout ed the Colonel. Charlie shook his head again. "Fifty!" F He shook it again. The figures rose and rose to " Seventy-five ! " The answer was an invitation to go away and let the owner alone, as he was, in cer tain specified respects, the vilest of living creatures, and no company for a fine gen tyman. j The " fine genty man " longed to blas pheme but ' before old Charlie in the name of pride, how could he? He mount ed and started away. " Tell you what I'll make wid you," said Charlie. The othsr, 'guessing aright, turned back without dismounting, smiling. "How much Belles Demoiselles hoes me now?" asked, the deaf one. "One hundred and eighty thousand dollars," said the Colonel firmly. "Yass,"said Charley. "I don't want Belles Demoiselles." The old Colonel's quiet laugh intimated it made no difference either way. But me " continued Charlie, "me- I'm got le Compte De Charleu's blood in me, any'ow -a litt' bit, any'ow, ain't It?" The Colonel nodded that it was. t "Bien! If I go OHt of dis place and don't go to Belles Demoiselles, de peoples will say dey will say, ' Old Charlie he been all doze time tell a blame lie! He ain't no kin to his old gtace-gran-muzzer, not a blame bit ! He don't get nary drop of De Charlcu blood to save his blame low down old Injin soul ! No, sare ! What I want wid money, den? No, sars! My place for yours ! " He turned to go into the house, just too soon to see the Colonel make an ugly whisk at him with his riding-whip. Then the Colonel, too,: moved off. ' Two or thtee times over, as he ambled homeward, laughter broke through his annoyance: as he recalled old Charlie's family pride! and the presumption of his offer. Yet each time he could but think better of not the offer to swap, but the preposterous ancestral loyalty. It was so much better, than he could have expected from his "low-down" relative, and not unlike his own whim withal the proposi tion which went with it was forgiven. This last defeat bore so harshly on the master of Belles Demoiselles, that the daughters, reading chagrin in his face, began to recent. They loved their father as daughter can, and when they saw their pretended dejection harrassing him seri ously they ; restrained their complaints, displayed miore than ordinary tenderness, and heroically and ostentatiously con cluded there was no place like Belle De moiselles. But the new mood touched him more than the old, and only refined his discontent. Here was a man, rich with out tbe care of riches, free from any real trouble, happiness as native to his house as perfume to his garden, deliberately, as it were with premeditated malice, taking joy by the shoulder and bidding her be gone to town, whither he might easily have followed, oaly that the very same ances tral nonsense that kept Injin Charlie from selling the 'old place for twice its value prevented-him from choosing any other spot for a city home. But by and by the charm of nature and the merry hearts around him prevailed; the fit of exalted sulks passed off, and after a while the year flared up at Christ mas, nicRered ana went out. New Year came and passed ; the beauti ful garden of Belles Demoiselles put on its spring attira; the seven fair sisters moved from rose to rose ; the cloud of discontent had warmed into invisible vapor in the . rich sunlight of family affection, and on the common memory the only scar of last year's wound was old Charlie s sheer im pertinence in crossing the caprice of the De Charleus. The cup of gladness seemed to fill with the filling of the river. How higo that nver was! Its tremend ous current jolled and tumbled and spun along, hustling the long funeral flotillas of drift and how near shore it came! Men were out day and night, watching the levee. On winday nights even the old Colonel took part, and grew light-hearted with occupation, and excitement, a every minute the ;river threw a white rrii over the levee's Hop, as though it would vault over. But all held fast, and, as the sum mer drifted in, the water unk down into its banks and looked quite incapable of harm. , On-r-summer afternoon of uncommon mildness, old Colonel Jean Albert Henri Jo seph De Charleu-Marot, being in a mood for revery, slipped the custody of his feminine rulers and sought the crown of : the levee, where it was his wont to promenade. Pres ently he sat upon a stone bench a favorite seat, tseiore mm lay nis Droaa-spreaa neias ; hear by, his lordly mansion ; and being still perhaps by female contact somewhat sentimental, he fell to musing on his past. It was hardly worthy to be proud of. All its morning was reddened wrth mad frolic, and far toward the meridian it was, marred with elegant rioting. Pride had kept him well-nigh useless, and despised the honors won: by valor ; gaming had dimmed prosperity ; death had taken his heavenly wife; voluptuous ease had mortgaged his lands; and yet his house still stood, his sweet-smelling fields were still fruitfuLhis name was fame enough; and yonder and yonder, among the trees and flowers, like angels walking in Eden, were the seven goddesses of his only worship. Just then a slight sound behind him brought him to his feet. He cast his eyes anxiously to the outer edge of the little strip of bank between the levee's base and the river. There was nothing visible. He paused, with his ear toward tbe wa ter, his face full of frightened expectation. Ha ! There came a single splashing sound, like some great beast slipping into the riv er, and little Waves in a wide semi-circle Continued on. 4th pogt.) i '
