I hope the man of her choice is worthy of the gem he has gained." ?Oh, he iB a noble fellow ?" returned my hostess)'and the entrance of tho breakfast put an ond to the conversation. J Tho eventful day arrived, and, arrayed iu ; the regulation dress on such an ocossion?glos | sy black immaculate choker and irreproachable I fitting kids?a costume in which I was some- j what puzzled to make my acquaintance, I took my heat in tho carriage besido Mrs. 23., and was rapidly whirled to tho bccuo of enlivenmont. j We did not attend the ceremony which took place in tho church/, therefore upon our nrriv al, the bride of an hour had already received the congratulations of her friends upon her nc ' cession to now dignity. Entering the drawing room, from which the daylight had been care fully oxchidtul, my Confudwrnto oyco woro oom pletoly datutlod by the splendid array of beau ty, fashion and wealth gathered there, and, for 1 some moments, I imagined that I had been j transported to fairy land. I was, howevor, awakened from this trance, by an exclamation of delight from my compauion, and found my self standing before an impersonation of grade aud beauty, clad in white satin, orange blos soms, illusions, aud a dozen other airy nothings, with which the fair sex arm themselves to stay their unsaspoctiug victims. Collecting my scattered senses, I soon settled down to a "peace basis," aud paying my de voirs with tolerable composure to the happy couple, gave place to the eager throng behind mo. llefusing for various rcasous, the en treaties of my friends to be introduced to suu dry damsals of her acquaintance who were "prfctty and so rich," I retired to a corner, from which observation I became an amused and interested "looker ou in Vienna," My eye roved over tho brilliant scene, The ??flushing of jowels| the flutter of laces,' 'And odors of tropical iunsk; Men and women, Most beautiful fnecs, And eyes of tropical dusk. miugling with the witching blue of the North .ern elime, until at lad, like a weary bird, it re turned to the figure of tho bride and rested there. Something in her quiet, dignified bear ing, and happy, trustful, face was refreshing tome, aud, ahmst unconJoiou>ly, I scanned her whole "person. What struck me "particu larly, as. I inwardly commented on the tasteful elegance of her attire, (for 1 am something of a c?nuoisseur in such matters.) was the ab sence of nil jewels. Instead of tho bridal pearls, a single highly burnished star caught at her throat the light fall of lace that covered her neck and shoulders. My curiosity, for 1 plead guilty to the wQukneas-r-was aroused to fathom flic ofigin, of afaucy, for wearing such an ornament on tho most evoutful day of a young 'woman's lifo, and musing upon it, uiy thoughts took anothor direction. The camp, the battle-field, the hope of promotion, and the dawn of a day when I too, might wear a star, engrossed! inc so entirely that I forgot titnp and place ,nnd was only aroused from my reverie by a light touch on my arm, aud the sweet voice of the bride in my car, saying : "1 shall not allow you to make statutes in the corner ahy longer, Mr. W;, if you'will uut join the dnno_rs, at lenst do the homage to inc. I intend to tin ow aside etiquotte for a few mo ments and sit tlown in this alcove with you, for I wish to nsk some qucatious concerning my friends in Dixie." Was ovor mortal mau dotvf to such an,np pcall It is nc?fllcHfl to say that'I coiriplied, and, though the introduction of many mutual acquaintances soon regarded myself on n foot ing sufficiently intimate Wim1 iruindly fo ihquiro ; the history of the' "lone star." ^lie hesitated upon hearing my ^question. - - ?v -- ? ...... TO theo lowering her Voice, said,:, "In.this laud of the free and ;homo of tho bruvo, to uamc one of tho (South's ; great .chioftaips -in., tones . of praise is trousou y but since you are a true sou of liex's I will yeuture:,to, relate to you the story connected with this;, prociqus relic of Stonewall Jackson aud how- it came iuto my possession.". "Some months ago, whilo .visiting-tho C. hospital, my attention was attracted-towards one of tho pntionts who had been brought, ip; the day before. . Ho was a young man, appa rently about twenty years of ago, and although almost wasted to a skeleton, his broad opeu brow, delicate, high-bred nose, and general air of refinement indicated that his was no mcau lineage. The beautiful browu eye, followed all my motions with such a yenruiug, beBccclL ing expression that I was irresistibly drawn to his bedside. O?briug him au orange to cool his parched tongue, and seating myself beside him, I inquired iuto his condition. ; "Will you bathe my head, as my mother used to do," said he, "and thou talk to mo?it is so long siuce I have heard a sweet, low voice, like yours." Taking out my cologne, t did as be bade me, talking in an encouraging, hopeful manner meanwhile, until by degrees ho revived a lit tle, and told me his history. "I am a Virginian," said he, and his wan eheck flushed with pride ; "my home is on the banks of the Shcnandoah, and I was oue of the first to answer the bugle note when our fair Valley was invaded. Jackson was my leader, aud 1 belong to the Stonewall Brigade. Although only an humble lieutenant, I had rather be a private in the noble band than hold a general's commission in any other corps. Jackson was my hero; for him I would have scaled any height, undergone any hardship, and since his death I have scarcely cared to live, have by the faithful pcrformuneo of my duty to assist in winning fresh laurels for the brigade ho loved so well." He then went on to tell me he had been taken prisoner six mouths before, and, accustomed to an open air, the confinement of a prisou had under mined his health, and the home sickness and of "hope deferred" preyed on It'* mind uutil a slow fever ensued, which was then draining tho strength from his youthful veins. Of course all this was not told at once, but at intervals, in answer to my questions. Finally, fearing the excitement would prove injurious, I enjoined quiet and rest, bidding him good bye, with the promise to return the next day. For a week, at the same time every morning I nttcuded my "Virginia boy," and my en trance was the sigual for a brightening of the sad, hopeless eyes. Sitting by his side, with his thin hand olasped iu mine, he would relate many little incidents of his campaigns with Jackson, always dwelling on the famous ex ploits of his adored commander, or else pour fourth a tide of recollections of the mouutuiu home, of the dear old father and mother whose pride ho was, the fair haired sister who so fondly awuitcd his rcturu?his horse and a dog, and a thousand minor details of the sweet homo lifo'so dearly treasured in his heart. But I shuddered to mark how fast his life was ebb ing away, and wept at tho thought of the sor row that would fall with a crushing weight upon that absent household. ITpon the seventh day I was shocked by the distressing change which hud taken place iu hn appearance, that peculiar pallor and con traction of features always the herald of death having settled upon his countenance. No glad smiles greeted me as I approached his cot, but only a faint pressure of the hand as 1 bent over him. "Will you not taste this cooling drink 1 have prepared for you '(" I said. "No, dear lady," replied he in a faint voice, and then continued, painfully laboring for breath, "Save it for noine oue else ; 1 am dying. The surgeon would not tell me just now when I asked him, but I feel the death damp on my brow. I am not afraid, for I am a soldier, but it is so hard to die alone, never again to sec tny riatiVc mountains, and feel tho cool air fan my check?never again to hear my lather's bless ing, or rccoivc my mother's good night kiss. Will you not do me <r.e more favor- write to my mother !'' I asfcufed, and drawing forth paper pen and ink, wrote ns well as my fast dropping tears and trembling hand would alltiwj After spik ing of his situation aud my kindness, he pro ceeded to send atleetionato farewells to various members of his faintly, not forgetting the ser vants whom he mentioned by name. There was a pause, and he lay silent for some irio iliciits, the large (oars gathered in his eyes, and rolled down the wan cheek. Then pointing to the worn uuiforih' that hung from n peg on the opposito wall, he asked me to hand it to him. Fumbling in tho pocket ho took outn knife, nnd indicating a particular place iu the waistbands of his pantaloons, directed me to rip it opou. I did so and drew out a .small roll of paper containing something hard which upon opening 1 found to be a military star, tho wrapping paper being closely Written over. Alter nasung upon them both fur sometime be took Up the star, and handing it to mo. said : ?'When General J.jickson foil, it was my painful task to assist in carrying him off the field fo a pbtco ot safety, My cdm?itind was forming'iii llucVf battle, and although my heart failed, and my riglit arm felt nerveless at the thought of charging the enemy unaided by his presence, stem duty called me to the front. Kuccling tolakc oue.last silent look othis pale heroic face, I spied the stars ou tho collar ol his overcoat, which hung'ldoscly over the lit ter. Quick as thought 1 took out my knife, nudj cutting one .away, concealing it in my bbsom; with it on my heart, I hastened to the battle-field, and no sword did better service that day than mine. Here it is; will'you nob keep it for the sake of ode, who, dying amongst strangers and enemies, has had his last moments soothed by your gentle care V Completely overcome by grief, 1 took the pre cious gilt and murmured my thanks. Then, holding out tho paper, he asked nie to enclose it iu the one to his mother. "Tell bur it is the last leuvo of absence I ever received from Gen eral Jackson, signed by his own hand?a hap py furlough spenVal home. T shall soon have another, endorsed by a Creator Captain than ho, to go a dwelling where pleasures arc end less." ; Exhausted by the effort of speaking he sank back motionless, while I smoothed the damp curls, and moistened the dry lips, ltivcted to the spot by my affection and sympathy for the sufferer, two long hours parsed nway, and 1 watched with sickening dread, the death film dimming tho beautiful eyes, and bent to catch the first taint breath. Suddenly a glorious light shone in his face; partly risiug and pointing upwards, he- exclaimed, *I see it? the star, the; General, lam here;" aud heav ing one farewell sigh for earth and friends, the young hero rcjoiucd his beloved commander. Jicr voice faltered and she ceased speaking, wbilo I was too much moved to tnako any eom mout. Regaining her sclf-posscsaion, she said, "Can you wonder now, Mr. W., that I should prefer wearing the gem, hallowed by so many sacred memories, to the costly jewels thut lie in my casket up stairs ?"

V A R I Q IT S._ [From the Charleston News,] Political Straws?How the Wind is Blowiug. Within two weeks two Radical papers in Wisconsin have hauled down Grant nnd put up Seymour.

General Buell, who saved Grant and his army from utter destruction nt Shiloh, sup ports Seymour and Blair. Five hundred Republicans in Montana have renounced their adhesion to tho Radical party and come out for tho Democratic ticket. The Illinois Cost, a German Radical paper, has expired, in consequence of the detection of the respectable Germans ol the city, who have heretofore acted with the Radicals. Thcro is a German Democratic club iu New York, nearly 500 strong, nearly all of tho members of whichnro said tu have horctofore voted the Republican ticket. The Grant electors iu Alabama have de clitfed to serve, and have taken tho slump for Seymour. A Radical paper in Montgomery has ceased publication foY Want of support.

Itrutl This, Colored Men. A correspondent of the Macon Journal and jMcsscnyer gives -the. subjoined aecuuut of a speech delivered by a colored man, at a Dem ocratic barbecue, in Buhiski County, a few days ago: Next followed a colored man by the name of Sherman, who gave, in a conversational, style, a most interesting history of his trip to aud his stay in Liberia. He was not at all complimentary to the agents of the Colonisa tion Society, on account of the meagre supply of provisions .on the voyage. He says they were compelled to subsi: t for days on rations consisting of a single cracker and a pint of water; but when they reached their de ?tination, on account of tho many deaths occurring iu their party, their rations wore increased to three crackers per day. Ho said he was told by, tho. Colonization Society that, when ho reached Liberia, he would find a species of fruit kuown as the bread fruit, growing in great abundance on tho trees?all of which ho found to be true, but neither he nor any of hin party could eat it. He says the natives live on snakes, frogs, lizards, or any sort of animals they' can capture and slay, but they prefer animals that have died, and are in a putrid state. He said he determined to leare as euo? as ho could provide himself with money to poy his passage to .New York, which ho soou obtained, and took ship for Now YorL, where he felt confident of meeting many friends. After arriving iu the cit^', he made application to some men ou the wharf for work, was told they did uot employ negroes, and driven aWay; he made several other applications ou the wharf, meeting in every instance unkind re pulses. He then made application at two car penter shops, from which he hardly escaped with his scalp. He returned to tho wharf in despair, when he fortunately found a gentle man from Savannah, and after having to work for his foud until he could get a situation, he proposed to work for him in tho same way; he gave him his food, and afterwads paid tho full price of his labor, which enabled him to reach Savannah, whero he met with Southern friends, who furnished him means to reach his old home, where lie hopes to ltvo and die, for he says the black man has no friends only in the South. Ho advised the black man to bo peace able and industrious, and be governed by the advice of the people in this country. That slavery at the South, in its worst form, is better for the black man than freedom at the North. Matrimony. "Shall I get married ?" is a question which a man often puts to himself in the present day. Nothing can bo wiser thau to make it a ques tion; but when n man docs he should examine and weigh the thing fairly and fully, and not consider that he has found a solution to it the moment he meets with an objection to contra veno his wishes. It is not for his father or his mother, his friends or his books, that he should ycild to, in a case that is really too great for their de cision. Hear them, or rend them, he may to gather their opinions; but if his own conscience prove stronger than their arguments, and that his spit it still cries' oitt '-marry," why, marry he Srhould, with due deference to many sapient advisers. ?* ????;?? r.dv ? ?'??..'. jfi? ; ?^.?>:['i. ds marringn fv desirable stalte?

To this the reply is. as soon as a man hay ing reached a proper age, say twenty-five, is able to support a wife. Then comes the ques tion of children.
