THE TWO MRS. TRAFFOROS.
There was only one reason for not
proceeding to the ceremony that was
to make Kosaltha llawttiorn auu iU
leray Traftbrd man and wife. Thut
reason waa that Dick Trafford, KI-
leray's younger brother, a youth of
about sixteen, had not arrived irom
the city, where he wan attending
boarding-school. Tho day hod come,
however, and almost the hour, and,
whatever the cause that delayed him,
especially since it was Christmas week,
it was nut, of course, thought sufficient
to postpone the marriage.
The Tratlbrds were a remarkably
handsome family so handsome that
the family group would at once have
riveted the eye of the most unob
servant. Mrs. Trafford was one of
those few genuine blondes who do not
fade early and look like washed rib
bons before twenty years of married
life. Mr. Trtt'urd might have been
mistaken for a Southern gentleman, 60
bronzed was his complexion, so chiv
alrio his manner. Of the three chil
dren, Klleray, the eldest, resembled
the father. The two others were a
daughter, about eighteen, named Lucy,
and Dick, tlic schoolboy of sixteen,
just mentioned. Both lavored their
mother, being blondes of the purest
hue. Lucy was just as fresh and ten
der as an apricot, and Dick was hardly
one whit less handsome. He was one
of those handsome, girlish-looking
boys, who not unfrequently make the
most masculine men, but who, during
the first year of adolescence have their
hair and eyes, the lips and complexion
of girls.
Little did Kosaltha Hawthorn dream
what was in store for her, when it was
proposed that the bridal trip should
be modified so that Elleray might call
in the morning at the school which
Dick was attending, and learn the rea
son of his delay, if she had known,
would she have consented t We will
not stop to answer a question which,
alter all, is only foolish and futile, and
involves a contradiction from tbe very
nature of things.
The wedding was over, the con
gratulations were said, the breakfast
was eaten, the speeches were made,
the good-bys were bidden, and the
new Mr. aud Mrs. Trafford, getting
into their carriage, commenced that
life, the first year of which is said to
be so tantalizing and rugged. They
took their places in the train, accom
plished their journey in safety, and in
due time arrived in the quiet, old
time village of I' , w here Dick's
boarding-school was established.
They took possession of the room
which had been engaged for them at
the hotel, and the next morning Kl
leray Bet off to his young brother,
leaving Kosaltha alone.
If he had the dimmest suspicion,
the blindest suspicion of what was to
take place, I hardly think he would
have left liosaltha's side for one mo
ment. Just as they were setting out
for I , Lucy had laughingly warned
him not to go there, ami had reminded
him of a former attachment of his a
Miss Dorothy Dil worth who still re
sided there, and who might be dis
posed to be revengeful, and Meadea
like toward Creusa meaning, of
course, Kosaltha now that she had
lost her Jasou. Elleray had colored
violently, remembering, indeed, when
he had fancied himself in love with
one of the prettiest little Quakeresses
that P could boast ; but he had
laughed it off, and apparently the
whole aflair was forgotten. ,
But could he have guessed who
would have entered the little private
parlor where his wife was sitting, a
few moments, after his back was
turned, I hardly think he would have
risked that walk to Dick's boarding
school, and the anxious inquiries he
made after him.
Dr. Stedman, the head-master, a
pompously commonplace man, ex
plained that Dick had left the school
two days before, and appeared as
much perplexed as Elleray at the fact
of his not having been heard from.
He was an intensely garrulous man,
and Elleray found it impossible to es
cape from him. lie inanely gobbled
on, until finally Elleray tore himself
away in the middle of a sentence.
Arriving at the hotel, he found that
he bad been absent two hours. He
also found a letter awaiting him.
Opening it; he found it dated from his
recent home. It was written by Dick,
was a hasty scrawl, and ran thus : .
"I'll fix you off you see if I don't
for not waiting for me. I got too
late for the train, and had to wait for
the next one, and I think you all be
haved real mean.
"Your affectionate brother,
Dick."
Smiling at the boyish terms in which
this note was couched, he put it in his
pocket, and preferred to go up stairs
to Kosaltha. .
Meanwhile, how had Kosaltha spent
the time ? Listen. ." '
Elleray had been gone about five
minutes, when, without tap or knock,
or any other intimation, the door of
the private parlor opened, and a lady,
entering, stood hesitating just inside
the threshold.
Kosaltha looked up. Her visitor is
what is called a gay Quaker, Her
toilet was expensive, but extremely
neat, and was pervaded, through all its
interchange of color, with one quiet,
natural hue, which blent it into a rich,
yet simple whole. Her face was so
sweet, so modest, so candid, that it put
yon in, mind 01 a magnolia blossom.
She was apparently about twenty
years of age, well formed, and decid
edly etylisn.
"Ie this Mrs. Trafford ?" she asked.
Kosaltha looked more steadily at
the new comer, and and an unquiet
reeling took possession of her bosom,
"Yes," she said, won't you be seat
ed ?" and rising, she offered her visitor
a chair. ' '
- The pretty Quakeress sat down, and
gazed with undisguised curiosity .at
Kosaltha. ' :- "
"So," she said, "you are Elleray

hardly knowing how to accept her vis
itor's manner. , . i
There was a moment's embarrassed
pause. ' ' ' v.
"May I ask," said Kosaltha,. then,
"to what I owe the pleasure of this
viwtY" . v- '
. "Oh, yes, certainly," replied the
Quakeress, with emphasis. 'M y name
my maiden name, that is is Dor
othy Dil worth." : , , ,
Kosaltha half roso from her chair,
the blood start inir to her check.' Then
she .checked tho impulse, with a half
smile at her'iealous credulity, and re
seating herself quickly, said: j
"1 have heard that name before."
"From Klloray, perhaps !" '

"No; from his sister,
The next moment she regretted
having spoken in a harsh tone,' for her
visitor begun to show very evident
marks of agitation. Her fine blue
eyes filled with tears, her exquisite red
lips trembled, and pulling forth her
pocket handkerchief, she hid her face
therein for a few moments.
A wild, indefiuate suspicion sprang
into Kosaltha's heart, and she trem
bled with the violence of her feelings.
She constrained herself to rise,. how
ever, to bend over her weeping vis
itor, and inquire, with some appear
ance of sympathy, what was the mat
ter. For some time the young girl
refused to bo comforted. At length
she raised her head, more lovely
through her tears, thought Kosaltha,
than when her features had been com
posed and looking with great effort
into Kosaltha's face, exclaimed :
"How can I tell you V
"Tell me what ! exclaimed Kosal
tha. For Heaven's sake, don't tor
ture me. Anything ia better than this
suspense. hat is there, Miss Dil
worth, that you have got to tell me
that I ought to know ?''
"You ought to know that this is not
my name any longer. You bear tbe
name that I have a better right to,
and that is "
"What?" exclaimed Kosaltha, in
horrified tones.
"Trafford.' v V
. Kosaltha Withdrew the hand she
had laid upon the girl's nhoulder. The
contact seemed to sting her with fire.
She reflected intensely for a minute or
two, and then her courage returned.
"You must be insane," she said.
"Why do you come here when my
husband is out ? Why do you bring
me such a tale as this ? You dare not
confront him with it. It is all a false
hood." "Do I look as though I were acting
a falsehood ?" asked the pretty Quak
eress, raising her tear-stained eves to
Koealtha'a face. "So, Mrs. Trafford"
and her exquisite lips trembled
again "what I say is too true. I had
no opportunity to warn you before, or
I should have warned. I saw your ar
rival in the morning papers and came
on at once, at the risk of meeting him.
forgive rue if I make you miserable;
but tterhaps my grief has made me
selfish I have been miserable myself
for the last year ever since he made
jne his wife"
His wife ! repeated Kosaltha. It
seemed as (though the heavens would
burst or the ground open at her feet.
"I swear to vou I am his wife his
true and lawful wife!" continued the
visitor, fit is nearly one year ago
since we were married. I do believe
that once, when I was innocent Do
rothy Dilwonth, he really loved me.
After our marriage we lived together
happily just one week. From that
hour to this I have never laid eyes
upon Elleray Trafford ; but I should
know him anywhere- anywhere at all."
She stopped, noticing the change
that bad overspread Kosaltha's face.
It had become very pale, and she
swayed backward as though she would
have fallen. In an instant the arms of
the other were around her, and the
visitor would have touched her lips to
her cheek. But Kosaltha, recovering
herself, pushed her coldly away.
"You have had your satisfaction,"
said Kosaltha. " You have taken your
revenge. Leave me. If it is any sat
isfaction for "you to know that you
have ruined my peace forever, enjoy
that satisfaction, but leave me ; that is
all I ask."
A moment's compunction over
shadowed the fair face of Dorothy. '
"Do not let us part as enemies," she
said, stretching forth her hand. "See,
I would even have kissed you, if you
would have let me. I bear you no
ill will.- I owe you no grudge. I
have taken no revenge. Only I could
not bear my load of misery any longer
alone, and wrong as it was, in order to
make you a sharer in it I have made
you miserable. Forgive me. Let us
part as friends, never to see each other
more. Let us be as sisters. But as
for that, man"
,: "Hush !" said Kosaltha, raising her
hand; "not a word against him, though
he has treated us both shamefully, lie
is your husband. You have the best
right to him. Do you think I could
live with him after this? ; Never. lie
is to me no more from this moment,
so far as anything more than remem
bering him goes, than if he had never
been. To love and to live with him
longer would be a crime ir; the sight
of heaven and man. Do not go I You
must stay until he returns. Then,
together, we will confront him !"
Even while she was speaking, steps
were heard in the corridor, and the
next moment Elleray Trafford entered
the room. - " ;
The sight he met there was a strange
one. Kosaltha stood facing him,
standing by the mantlepiece, her form
erect and proud, her hands tightly
clenched in one another. At the dinner-table
sat Dorothy, her face buried
in her pocket-handkerchief among the
books and pictures, and her shoulders
heaving " convulsively, telling of the
struggle within her breast.
He looked from one to the other in
amazement, , and an undetinable ex
pression passed over his face. To the
day of her death .Kosaltha never for
got it. He passed ' quickly over to
FRIDAY, JULY 21, -1871;
her, and would have taken her hand,
but she repulsed him. , ; 4
'Don't touch me!" she said, you
v " "- ; v '
She tried to pronounce -the harsh
word,: but memories' of 1 the golden
hours of her" courtship overwhelmed
her, and she burst into tears. , ,
"For God's' sake,' what' does this
mean? Kosaltha; won't you speak to.
mer" "What is this mystery? -"What
does this woman want here 'f? "t '
He turned to confrqut Dorothy, but
her face was still hidden, and her sobs
filled the room ' Kosaltha it wa who
commanded herself and spoke first.
"Here is your wife, auk her," ho
said, ; pointing to Dorothy. , .?'rom
this hour, Elleray Trafford, you, are
no more to me than if you had .evcr
crossed my path." ' ' t.
As though . by an inspiration, and
without any process of logie, KlJeray
strode up to where Dorothy was weep-r
"Who are you, woman T' ho cried,
and laid a strong arm upon her slender
shoulder., , - , . '
The head was stQl bowed. r.Sliamo
or fear or anguish still , caused that
gentle face to bo concealed, although
the sobs came fast and thick.
Elleray paused once more, looking
first atone woman, and then at the:
other, in what Kosaltha took to be tho
well-affected extremity of surprise.
A second time he laid bis hand upon
the woman's shoulder, and this time
with a still rougher hand.
"Who are you?!' he shouted.
"Speak, or-"
"Me ? ), I'm Dick V exclaimed a
voice, almost inaudible through its
smothered laughter, and tho next mo
ment his bead was thrown back, aud
I teal after peal of almost irresistible
aughtcr rang through the parlor.
Elleray and Kosoltlia stood there
like people in a dream, utterly failing
at first to comprehend the situation.
Meanwhile, there sat their visitor, ev
ery moment exploding 'with a fresh
volley, and Minting and gesticulating
at them in a most unladylike manner.
"Don't speak to me ! don't come
near me !" he exclaimed, his face grow
ing scarlet with laughter. "I shall
split! I know I shall! O, what fun !
What larks! By jingo! J said I'd
make you pay for disappointing me,
and so I have. Miss Dorothy Dil
worth ! Elleray's first wife ! O, you
two simpletons ! O, it is too good !
Don't interrupt me, please. Let me
have my laugh out."
Off he went again into another sc
ries of explosions, and Elleray and
Kofeallha, having nothing else to do,
followed him, at length understanding
how matters stood. Yes, it was Diek
his naturally girlish features com
pletely disguised in his borrowed fem
inine apparel. He had missed the
train winch was to have taken him to
the wedding; had arrived some hours
after it was over ; had left home after
sending his brother a letter calculated
to. deceive him as to his whereabouts;
had stolen a quantity of his sister
Lucy's disused clothes, in order to act
his part, and stayed at the hotel all
night, in order to watch his chance in
the morning. '
Half an hour afterwards he wentnp
stairs and soon made his appearance
in the attire of his sex.
AX EXTKAOKItlXAKY EXECt
TION.
A gentleman of Jonesburg, Missou
ri, recently returned from Texas, re
lates an extraordinary occurrence
which took placo a bhort time since
in the Indian Nation. . He was an eye
witness of the scene; A Choctaw
Indian having committed a Wilful
murder, was arrested, tried, and sen
tenced to be shot to death. He asked
for twenty days in which . to prepare
and visit bis friends, giving his word
of honor as a "brave" to return at the
appointed time,and was allowed to
go forth without a guard or bail. -J
At the expiration:, of the twenty
days, according to appointment, the
hour for the execution arrived, and
the Indian, true to" his word, at the
very hour and minuto galloped up to
the place where the scxtence was to
be carried out, in company with three
of his sisters and brothers, all appear
ing as cheerful as th6ugh they had
come to a dance or a frolic. The cof
fin was then brought on the ground,
but some one remarked that it was
too small, npon which one of the
doomed Indian's brothers told him to
lay down in it and measure, which he
cheerfully did, and laughingly said,
"It fits all right." The crowd mean
while appeared to be in the most
cheerful spirits, and cracked jokes and
laughed. ,,At last, when all was
ready, the doomed man was ordered
to sit on the oTound. A handkerchief
was then then placed over his eyes by
his sister. While the Sheriff held one
hand, one of the condemned Indian's
brothers held the other on each side
of. him. The Deputy Sheriff then
stood in an old house about ten steps
in front of the condemned, with a
rifle. From some cause the rifle went
off accidentally, the bullet passingiip
through the roof of the house. ; The
Indian, believing he wai shot, drew
himself and shuddered, but did not
speak or move from the spot.- A
black mark was ' made over the In
dian's heart with spittle and 1 powder
by his brother while the ' Deputy
Sheriff reloaded his rifle, and at a giv
en signal he took steady aim, fired,
and pierced the centre of the mark.
The Indian', with a few struggles,. fell
back dead, with his brother and the
Sheriff still holding his hands. No one
seemed to be in the least affected, ex
cept the doomed ,' Indian's mother,
who shed tears but was told to "shut
up" by her son,' that all ; was, over.
Thus ended tbe extraordinary execu
tion. ' ... :.(r ... f -v.;-;

Lorenzo Dow, the itinerant preach
er, so , famous , for, his eccentricity,
commenced his sermon on one occa
sion by reading from St. Paul, "I can
do all things." The preacher paused,
took off his spectacles, laid them on
the open Bible, , and said, "No, Paul,
you are mistaken for .once; I'll bet
you five dollars you can't, and stake
the money." At the same time put
ting his hand in his pocket, he took
up his spectacles again,- and read
"through Jesus Christ-our Lord."
"Ah ! Paul," exclaimed , the preacher,
snatching up the five dollar , bill, and
replacing it in his pocket 'that's a
different matter; thebet's withdrawn."

Could be seen from it, 'Nothing; is
left of what w as once an elegant man
sion but four stout pillars and a great
mass of blackened brick thrown into
a' confused heap!" The 7 house ' was
large, and is said to have been filled
from cellar to garret with all that was
costly and historic. Here were gath?
ered the trophies and heirlooms of One
of one of the oldest, wealthiest, ami
most ' distinguished families in the
South. But in the month of February,
18(U, this house and its contents were
reduced to ashes by the cavalry of
snerman s army.' Hampton has never
rebuilt, having -been reduced to the
verge of bankruptcy by the war, - The
surrounding grounds were once beau
tiful, and - remnants 'of - their' beauty
remain to this day. It is said that
Hampton expended about $70,000 in
laying -out and beautifying these
grounds. - All around the ruins of the
house are walks and drives shaded by
the numerous trees and shrubbery
which grow - so luxuriantly ir the
Southern, clime. But for, seven years
these grounds have been used; as a
common. ' Cattle roam over them At
pleasure, and no One seems to care to
prevent it-: The shade trees have
stiff and rank and out of shape. : The
cedars and : pines and box trees sadly
show the need of attention, " though
they are still beautiful The flowers
are nearly all killed out, only now one
blooming here and there, making the
surrounding desolation still more im
pressive., imagine that which was
once a miniature Garden 'of ' Eden
turned out to the cattle, the shrubbery
eaten down, the flowers and email'
plants trampled down, the trees un-
t rimmed, the graveled walks grown
up with weeds and brambles, the
hedges broken and scattered, and vou
have some idea of "Millwood" now.
There were a row of , frame houses
near, once the servants apartments,

Henbt Ward Beeches ox Love.
Years' ago,' from .one of- Beecher's
marvelous inspirational efforts,' we
jotted down the following beautiful
and truthful delineation of tne differ
ent forms of love. It could scarcely
be excelled. I He says: ".The lower
forms of love are rude, brief, and
slenderly fruitful. It is the vearn
ing of one toward 'another, ; without
any offices of reason .interposed: it is
the love of the udder, and not of the
heart. Love . springing from that
part of the mind which is nearest to
God, in sympathy with the spiritual
and eternal, is an electrical; connec
tion with heaven .itself,- and. emits its
flashes and its inspirations. None
can . truly and wholly- love, -except
those whose life: is the ' unfolding of
their whole nature on the plane of
Christianity. , A full - and perfect
love, then, is one in which two -natures
match each other in everjr'fac
ulty, so that moral life is reciprocal;
so that thought-life : is interchange
able; bo that taste-life is harmonious;
so that affectional life ia competitive
and stimulating; and so that all the
under-faculties are sobered and train
ed, and brought iato unison,' by the
religious) nature. ! Two full beings,
each provocative of all that ia true,
and sweet, and right and kind and
noble these are, in the divine sense,
lovers." From the ""Ideal Woman

to weep, but the parson was inexora

turned and cried through her tears' :
"Please," sir, if you can't marry, us
full up, .won't you marry us, twenty
