• ,At the begiuuing of the Civi
,War thele was a fine old residence
In Meeting, street, in Charleston,
,South Carolina, inhabited by a fami
y almost 1vs old as the State. Its
inheritor and owner, Orville Bur -
epee, was a widower. He had
been much saddened in tempera -
trent since the death of his wife, and
had drawn as far as possible from
'ublic affairs. His -library and the
past had secured a stronger hold up -
'n his interest and his thoughts
than auything in the present, with
tie exception, his idolized and only
•hild, Mary, named for her deceased

oaxed or caressed him.
She was, in tt'uth,one to be loved,
ecause so capable of love herself.
he conquered and ruled everyone,
Ot through wilfulness or inrperious-
ess, but by, a gentle charm, all her
,wn, which disarmed opposition.
At first Mr Burgoyne had paid
tale heed to the mutterings which
receded the Civil War, believing
em to be but Chinese thunder,
reduced by ambitious politicians,
Orth and - South. He was pre-oc-
pied by an old system of philoso-
y which be fancied possessed more
nth than many a more plausible
d modern one. Mary, with some
ncy work in her hands, often
etched his deep abstraction in
ondering awe, and occasionally
estioned him in regard to his
oughts and studies; but as his
planations were almost unintelli-
blo, she settled down to the eom-
'cent belief that her father was
o of the moat learned ruen in the
'dd. '
At last swiftly culminating events
•used Mr Burgoyne from his ab -
action, and drove him from his
irentent. He aecepted what be
loved to ba duty in sorrow and
rot. His own early associations
those of his aheestors had boon

Yankees, yet what else could we
expect, since their commander was
a Southern than ? Oh no ! we must
wait till the conditions are ruore
even before we can exult over our
victories. I reckon we'll have them
all the same though.'
Murmurs of approbation followed
these remarks, but he saw only the
eloquent eyes of Mary Burgoyne,
and, offering her his arm, led her
away.
The spring night was as warm as
a June evening at the North, and
they joined the groups that were
strolling under the moonlight in the
garden.
Sidney felt the young girl's hand
tremble on his arm, and he drew it
closer to his side. She soon asked
falteringly, ' Mr Wallingford, io
you think—will the conditious be-
come more even, as you suggested ?
Can it be that the North will be so
carried away by this abolition fa-
naticism as to send armies and ships
in the vain effort to subjugate us?'
Thank you, Miss Mary,' for say-
ing that it will be a 'vain effort,'
Of course it will be, with sscb
men as my father and,'—she sud-
denly hesitated.
`And who else ?' he gently asked,
trying to look into her averted face.
Oh—well,' she stammered with
a forced little laugh, ' thousands of
brave fellows like you. You do not
answer my question. Are we to
have anything like a general war?
Surely there ought to . be enough
good, wise mon on both sides to set -
til the matter.'
`The matter might be settled easi-
ly enough,' he replied Lightly. 'We,
know our rights and shall firmly as-
sert them. If the Yankees yield,
all well ; if not, we'll make 'em,'
` But making them may mean a
great war ?'
Oh, yes, some .serious scrim-
mages I reckon. We're prepared,
however, and will soon bring the
North to its senses.'
'If anything should happen to
my father 1' she sighed.

clear, and among them was gthe fact
Slat the North would not recognize
tho doctrine. of Stato Rights, . nor
'peaceably accept the Acts of S:eces-
slon, Soldiers would be needed --
how long no one knew, for the su-
ptinne question of the day had pass-
ed from the hands of statesmen to
those of the soldier., The lack of
mutual knowledge, the misappre-
hension and the gross prejudices ex-
isting between two sections would
have been ludicrous had they not
been fraught with such long -contin-
ued Noes. Southern papers pub-
lished such stuff as this ; "The
Northern soldiers are men who pre-
fer eplisting to starvation ; scurvy
fellows from the back slams of cities,
with whom Falstaff woald not have
marched through Coventry. Let
them conk South, and we will put
our negroes at the dirty work of
killing them. But they will trot
conte South. Not a wretch of them
will live on this side of the border
longer than it will take les to reach
the ground and drive theuroff," The
Northen press responbed in kind:
` No mall of senseit was declared,
'could for a moment doubt that this
mueh•ado-about-nothing would end
in a month. The Northern people
are simply invincible. The rebels,
a mere band .of ragamuffins, who fly
like chaff before the wind on our
approach,' Thus the wretched farces
of bluster continued on either side
until in blood,agony and heartbreak
Americans learned to know Ameri-
cans.
President Lincoln, however, had
called out seventy-five -thousand
troops, and these men were not long
in learning that they could not walk
over the South in three months,
The South also discovered that these
satne men could not be terrified into
abandoning the attempt. There
were thoughtful men on both sides
who early began to recognize the
magnitnde of the struggle upon
which they had entered. Among
these was Col. Burgoyne, and the
presentiment grew upon him that
he would not see the end of the con-
flict. When, therefore, -impetuous
young Wallingford urged that he
might call Mary his wife before he
marched to distant battle -fields, the
father yielded, feeling that it might'
be well for her to have another pro-
tector besides himself. The union
was solemnized in old St. Michael's
Church, where Mary's mother and
grandmother had been married be-
fore her; a day or twq of quiet and
happiness was vousehafed, and then
came the tidings of the first great
battle of the War. Charleston re-
sounded with acclamations of tri-
umph ; bells sent out their merriest
peals; cannon thundered from every
fort on the harbour, but Mary wept
on -her husband's breast. Among

brief honeymoon was permitted her.

At last, in the afternoon of a

The conflict was too unequal;

In strong re -action frons inten
excitement, Mary's knees gave way,
and she sank upon them in thank-
fulness to God. Her aunt,suppoi•t-
ed her to her room, gave restora-

words, ` I was only trying to defend

Hour after hour he repeated this
sentence deaf to his child's entrea-

word. His voice grew more .and
more feeble, until he could only
whisper the sad refrain ; at last his
lips moved but there w:is no sound ;
then he was still.
For a time it seemed „s if Mary
would follow him, but her aunt, her
white face tearless and stern, bade
her live for her husband and her' un-

from his eisten that her husband,
Captain Hunter, had been killed in
the battle over which lie had been
rejoicing. . Then .for sone mysteri-
ous reason the Southam army did
not follow the Feder'altewho had ]eft
the field in such utter rout and panic.
It soon appeared that the contend-
ing forces were occupying much the
same positions as before., News of
the second grt-,at uprising of the
North followsd closely, and presaged
anything but a speedy termination
of the conflict. Major Burgoyne
wag not a Hotspur, and he grew
thoughtful and depressed in spirit,
although he seduously concealed the
fact from his associates, ' The sha-
dow of coming events began to fall
upon him, and his daughter gradu-
ally divined his lack of hopefulness.
Tho days were already sad ttnd full
of anxiety, for her linsband was ab-
sent. He had scooted the idea of
the Yankees standing up before the
impetuous ► us onset of the Southern sal -
diem, and his words had apparently
proved true, yet even -those North-
ern cowards had killed one closely
allied to her before they fled. Re-
membering, therefore, her husband's
headlong courage, what assurance of
his safety could she have, although
victory followed victory ?
Major Burgoyne urged his wid-
owed sister to leave her plantation
in the charge of an overseer, and
make her home with him. ' You
are too near the probable theatre
of military operations to be safe,' he
wrote, 'and my mind cannot rest till
you are with us in this city, which
we are rapidly making impregnable,'
Ino result was that also evontualfy

Her stern, sad face added to the
young wife's depression, for the
stricken woman had' been rendered
intensely bitter by her loss. Mary

THE STRATFORD BEACON SA YS.—
We regret to chronicle the death of
Mr Abraham Filey, one of Stratford'e
old residents, which took place Sun-
day night. Mr Fileyhadbeen suffer-
ing with cancer for some time past,
but his death was no doubt hastened
by the rupture of a blood vessel some
months ago. Since then he has been
unable to engages n bis active duties
of his business, but up till Saturday
night nothing indicative of his early
demise was apparent. Sunday morn-
ing, however, he took a turn for the
worse, and in spite of all that could
be done, he passed away lest evening,
Mr Filey has lived in Strafford for
about twenty years. He was one of
the mbst extensive contractors iu the
city, and has built some of the largest
buildings that wo have. Mr Filey
has always proven hinisei fars' upright
and a conscientious business man, and
his death is much to be regretted,
