WOMAN'S LOVE. ."As Gertrude Von Der Wartz sat Lnm ming the cradle-byron which had lulled her babe asleep, she heard the tramp of men in the. court-way of the castle. Suddenly- the door was opened, and arm ed tjuen rushed rudely into the apartment, where Love sat guarding Innocence. "Your husband, madam, and your broth er where. have yon hid them?" asked the chief of the band of soldiers, in menacing tones, as he rudely clutched the shrinking woman by the arm. Her woman's instinct at once divined that those she loved were" in danger, and site answered, ia tr mbling tones: "Indeed; sir, I know not. I have not seen tiiciiir' "Wife arid sister of the murderers, tell the truth!" he replied, savagely. ''Our queen Agnes, -of Hungary, the 'daughter of our murdered Emperor Albert lias sent us, with the sword of vengeance, to hunt, to the ends of the earth, for the men who have taken her father's life. On them and their children shall fall the punishment." "Merciful Heaven !" gasped out Gertrude, as the dreadful news broke upon her, ''has the E mperor been killed? Oh, sirs ! mv husband and mv brother had no hand in the criiei deedY" I'rate not wirh t e woiiiau,'' sai l one of our queen's bidding. the soldiers. "Do 'I'h.w. ; ti,,;,.i,;r,i J.

Ix-tween her and the infant. Xo!no!" .she screamed, in thrilling tones of agony- nnd fear; "take not my child lromme! Kill me, 11 you will, hut oh-! bv the love von T ear your own little ones. save this innocent babe ! Kill me, but spare my child !'' 'Intent on their bloody purpose, the sol diers heeded not the cries of agonv WUiC went up from the mothers heart, as plung ing their swords into the child, they tramp ed out of the room with heavy steps, and mounting their horses, galloped away from the castle. There are moments in life so full of agonv that it scuts as if human nature must-ink and expire under the frightful ordeal. Such moments .had come to - Gertrude Von Der Wartz, as stunned by the horrid deed, she stood, speechless,, by the poor little victim of woman's revenge. All that night, sad and silent, she sat beside her dying babe; and when morning broke over the earth, low wails went up from the room where mourned the childless woman. ! To reach her husband was now the one wish of Gertrude. The tie that bound her to the secluded castle was broken her child was dea l. But she was a prisoner in her house; for a guard had been placed a round tlfe castle to prevent the escape of her husband and brother, iu case they should In' secreted there. Eluding the vigilance of the soldiers, however, she escaped. The ' news of her husband's arrest and imprisonment had reached her, and, urged on by the most t'e ot ed love, she made her wav to the 'royal chateau. . Throwing herself, in an agony of grief, at the feet of the widowed Empress Elizabeth and her -daughter Agues, she ex claimed: - "Spare him.! oh, spare my husband !,IIe is innocent of the crime of which he is ac cused ! My only child has been slaughter ed by your soldiers; let one victim suffice; spare me oh, spare me my husband !'' T,he frantic prayer fell on stony hearts. Silent and stern sat the queen and her daughter. There was no pity in their breasts no tenderness in 'their words. Kepnlsed and driven from the royal res idence, Gertrude hovered around the pri son that contained her husband. As Death drew near, Love grew stronger, and sup ported Iter -fainting spirit in the dark valley of the shadow of woe through which it was passing. - Though' strong her love and unwearied her eilbrts to save her husband, she could not avert the fearful dootA4jjat awaited him; and it was with a heart of agony that she- heard -the dreadful sentence Tube broken on the u hed ! The fatal day arrived, and the yo ing iid handsome Baron de "Wartz, wasae.iiov- ed from his prison, and stretched on the scaffold to have his limbs broken on the wheel. r Silentl'- the sympathizing crowd stood around to witness the dreadful spectacle. "Stand back !" said a voice, "and let her Tho crowd made wav, as Gertrude attir- -. . ...i.. . !. .:n U :-. i ed m mourning paie, um sun iuimuuiui slowlv advanced, and throwing herseli - -. -. v j at the feet of the executioner, cried out, in piteous tones : "Have mercy on me and let me stav with mv husband to support him through his dreadful trial ln Her prayer was answered, and ascending the scatfold, she placed herself beside the victim, who turned his eyes upon her with lnnk-s of love and eratitu.de that haunted ' CJ her ever after." ! ; Silent, almost crushed by agony, ready to shriek out as the blows descended on Vwr linb;ind she vet stood resolute - and firm.' while the crowrl looked on in tears When the executioner had finished his dreadful task, the multitude disappeared, leaving Gertrude alone with the dying man The night came on, covering the earth with darkness, and the devoted wife crept under the wheel on which Iier husband was extended. - ' - -. - Through all that long night there she sat, soothing him, and assuring him of her belief m his innocence. ! . Thus passed three days and nights, and, on the third night, the sutlerersaid laintij "Leave me my darling, and take some , ouc n-jsseu mm tenaeny, ana,, wiping tne urops oi agony trom his brow, replied : w- uecs iio.resi way irom you there is no rest for me P That night was one of intense agorty to the martyr. Great drops of anguish start- ed from every pore. As the fourth morning dawned, tho vie- tim expired, looking the gratitude and love uuu uu- iiciu nui uie sirengiu to speaK. Xhe wiles mission of love had ended; ana, Kissing uie paie lace upturned to hers, wuti leeble steps she wendeu- her. way to the convent, the superior of which was the sister oi ner tiusband. "ltoom for me, sisters," was all she could say, as, fainting, she fell at the threshold of the door. The niiiis took in the emaciated creature; and the convent .gates closing on Gertrude Von Der AVartz, till that the world hence forth knew of her was this sad story of her love and ''fidelity unto .death." Love, Iloxon, a?td Obey. On the whole, married women, that is, real women, prefer being, ruled to ruling. It is natural to a woman to seek advice. It is scarcely in her nature to go speechlessly on doing what she has to do without aid or counsel". Almost any one "of the sex is hapoier if she c.iu "t.ili; things over' wit a ;me mail up- on v iiiise ibsereteui sue leiiv; even in the small t-iA 1U IX-iLll rie I iue most wives"io, est things, what "lie" likes, and fancv that thev like it themselves Since iudepend ence has become the fashion, , smd stning- mi tided women have sneered at 'their more gentle 'sisters, there is a great affectation of 'despising the opinion of the men, but it is all sheer pretence. Almost evei(y wife chooses her gloves and her ribboiis. of the tint that her hiisiband admires, and the man she. loves almost inevitably gives her her political opinions, aud biases even her re ligious views. Her speech, her dress, her manners, change under his influence. What he desires her to do she does, in nine cases out of ten. The tenth case we find in the divorce courts. You may rule your wife as you please, good married reader, ij' you only love and pet. her enough. Haughtiness and fault-finding alone will make her restive. And you, dear girl, remember that it will be well to choose a husband good, and noble, and upright, so that you may obey him to your heart's content without losing your own self-respect; for you will obey him if you love hiiu; and if he be low.and mean, you will sink, to his level slowly ,but 'surely in the course of vears. BlvXKFlT OF OXE AOVKHTISEJIENT. If there is one man on this continent above another who appreciates the benefit of ad vertising, it is Orange Jndd. A" number years ago, when he and his wife spent their evenings in putting up packages, and a penny had its value to them, he sent a ov 'with n check for one hundred dollars to the Herald office, with instructions to pav what was vine and leave the rest for future advertising. The boy being dull of comprehension did not understand him, and told the book-keeper to use one hundred lollars for one dav. The next morning what 'was Mr. Judd's horror, on taking up the Herald, to see "Head the American Agriculturist"' repeated for nearly a whole column. He rushed down to the office for an explanation, and found that . the had only followed instructions, and there was no help for it. "We are ruined," he said to his wife, "a whole year's advertising gone in a dav' But instead of being his ruin it was the beginning trf his success. Imme- liately subscriptions poured in from all parts of the country. . The Agriculturist soon-became an institution, and its proprietor one of the richest men in Xew York. Mr. Judd is continued, from the dav of his luckv mistake, to be one of the most extensive advertisers iu'the country, and he has his reward. A SuulXGi-IELb IWUAXCE. EXOCir AT.DEX IlirilOVED rPOX A LADY IX SPUING FIELD, MASS., il AHMED Til REE TIMES TO TWO HUSBANDS. About fifteen years ago, a young woman living in her home in'Monson, became pos- sessed wu n tne oesire to go est anu teacn hool. In the town of Anamosa. Iowa, she s found her vocation, and, ty and bv, a hus " -- . . . and. Ho was the youngest and indulged son of a wealthy widow. The happy couple set out early on thei matrimonial sea, both being only about 19 vears of age. When our heroine wrote to her father in Monson of her plans, he went on to Iowa for a few weeks' visit, and, being pleased with his daughter's prospects, built and furnished a house for her- The mother of the young oi mo ,o,iuo a, well stock- e i. husband gave him a fine farm ed and equipped, and no young coupiebtait- , i - 1 , , ed in iile with better prospects. Ltions and mismanagement had stripped her husband of all his property.; His pride wasl terribly mortified bv this turn ot altairs, and. in sudden desperation, he left his home, his wife and infant daughter, and enlisted in one of the first regiments which was rais- ed during the civil war. His family received a few letters Trom him, and then came an unbroken silence. In vain they wrnro to him. and then to his officers and comrades. He was reported among the mi in"-.

Some months ago and this is one of the strangest inciaents ot tms eventtul biston' --she dreamed that a hack called at her boarding place and took her to the Massasoit House, where she met her missing husband, to whom she was again united in marriage, The dream, of .course, made a deen imnres- sion on her mind, but as months wore awav ana notmng came oi it, sue regarrtea it inOre and more as "only a dream." But one day, last fall, a letter reached the post office at Apamoaa, directed to her. Some one who knew her caused it to here-direct- a t.rvw.. 14- 'v, r-r i ed to this city. It so happened that she was absent on a visit at the time, and after remaining in tue opringneiu posLomce a- while it was returned to Iowa. Mer friends there then enclosed it in another envelope and sent it here again, and it finally reach ed het as she was at her work in Tinkham's store. On opening it she nearly fainted. It was from Ikt first husband, from whom or of whom not a lisp had been heard by his friends for thirteen years. It stated that he was in the wilds of Texas following the hazardous life of rancheroa. He" had left home with the determination of never re turning until h c iuiu maue goou uis suaiiei- l . i i .. i i . ed fortunes, Several times he ha 1 so far re- net i med his vow that he was on the point il see King las lamuy ana irieuus, .wtieii some turn of the wheel of fortune had dash ed lii in back to poverty. At ' length the fickle goddess had favored him and he was rich again. "Whether whether "she was the nis wire was living, v-J' moiiier ot another man's-family, and a host of other questions, she hastened to answer. Other letters were written by both, but ill failed, by reason of hostile Indians, faith less earners, etc., of reaching their 'destina Hon.

She was not at the store, and the hack-driver was directed to her boarding place, where he found her, and the dream was proved true ! I he meeting is not for us to describe. The next evening there was a wedding at the house of a prominent clergyman of this city, and the bride was a woman was then married the third time, yet had had but two husband's, and by their side stood a blooming mis to witness tne mar nage of " her own legitimate father and mother. This romance ends happily as all such 'tones should.

I Please accept my sincere thanks for the i paper sent ine, containing an account of Gen. La F iivette's reception at Fayette- ville: I read it over and over again wdth unalloyed pleasure 'and satisfaction.) was an humble participant on the occasion, and although I 'puttered much from the cold-, ness .ami inclemency of tho weather, I en- oyed it much, lour correspondent, "N, gives a pre tjty good account of" the affair. Every body1, old and young, seemed to ba completely j enthused such a greeting, ' such a shaking of .tho old General's hand I never did see, and never expect to wit ness again. it was a great, a glonousday for old Fayetteville. - Tiio old Independent Company at that time wore tho old fashioned cap, without any brim behind. They wero posted ou the north side of "the west wing of "tho Clarendon hridge, with their backs to tho. pattering rain, and the Light Artillery were posted on tho south side, directly op posite theni. For a while wc laughed leartily at them, but it was not long bo- fore the laugh came from the other side: Our caps having no protection in thorear, the rain eventually found a channel down our backs, making ns squirm and twist ir every dire'etion. Our march from tho bridge was awful sometimes the mud was up to our knees, and never less than half- -leg deep. Many lost their overshoes, and some, it was said, lost their boots, but the eld company never broke ranks through mud and mud iioles they marched.. "Those men would make good soldiers." Arrived at tho east end of the market- house, we were formed into, hollow square, standing in mud half-leg deep. ; Judge loomer did not make a long speech-he had pity on xis I suppose. The shades of e- vening; by this time, began to prevail. 1 ho ueneral was escorted to his quarters, and the fhilitary, were dismissed for the nigh r, and preparations for tho ball, commenced. "iS . says tho next morning was balmy, the birds caroled, &c It was a bitter cold morning. I don't know that I ever saw a heavier white frost. The tents of tho old Independent Company were left spread daring the night, on a vacant lot belonging to Duncan Thompson, on Gil lespie street, nearly opposite tho Stato Bank. In the morning they wvo whito as snow with frost. The sun, rose in all its glory and the day was fine throughout. The General left in tho afternoon in a car riage drawn by four very handsome horse?. This outfit was furnished by Mr. Chas. Mallett, I think. It was a joyous occa sion: I shall not forget it.
