HARPER'S WEEKLY.

815

country-seat of Marian's relative, certainly found captivity wearing rosy chains. But the patriotic heart beat truly ; and amidst all the enchantments of love and idleness he yearned to take his place in the front of battle.

To again appeal to her uncle Marian knew would be useless. His decisions were unalterable. But,

"With true love's treacherous confidence,"

she had possessed herself with means, and found her way.

When we exalt the women of '76 to the disadvantage of those of our own times, it is well to remember such instances as this. Here was a woman bred in the utmost luxury ; accustomed to a life which, more than any other, tends to individual gratification, and clouds the vision to great wrongs and personal sacrifice. Here was this woman throwing all her energies into a cause, and that cause the liberation of her lover from a safe captivity to sure separation and constant peril.

Time seemed to pass so merrily with those two that their host had no suspicion that they contemplated such a separation. He smiled to himself one day as he went out leaving them singing to a guitar accompaniment some sweet old love-song-smiled, thinking, "She says no more about his going home to die." That day the plan of escape was perfected, and at night the separation had taken place. Details are dangerous : let them pass. But no heroine of the French revolution ever evinced more tact and skill in the accomplishment of her design than this girl who, six months ago, had heard only in a drum-heat or a bugle-note some gay dance-measure, and whose days were occupied in the round of inanities which habit enforces. There was nothing wanting in this plan—pass nor countersign had she failed to obtain.

And left behind, with no means of communication between herself and her lover, unrepining and believing, she atones to her uncle for "true love's treacherous confidence" by a devotion as earnest and complete as her whole character. The very spirit to express

"I do not say the day is long and dreary,

For while thou art content to be away,

Living in thee, 0 Love, I live thy day,

And reek not if mine own be sad and weary."

And through the long, long days she keeps her watch. The long, long days, God hallow them to thee, oh waiting heart !

It is November now. Only the other day we chronicled with tears another fatal defeat. In that perilous encounter, side by side fought our young hero of Manassas and his cousin, Richard Ware. Covered with glory, the brave Lieutenant returns to his post, but—"Richard Ware shot through the heart." That brave, true heart, which first received its death-warrant on another morn months ago—a summer morn, when the waves murmured, and birds sang, and the sun smiled calmly down, and a girl's voice entered his soul through the clefts of confession. The brave, true heart; all its yearnings are now satisfied, all its aspirations realized, while we drop our tears over his grave. In the mean time the roar of the cannon goes on, the drums beat, and the bugles blow, while other brave, true hearts are shedding their life-blood ; but when women are content to watch alone while those they love " fight the good fight," and men fly from the allurements of their presence to the dangers of battle, we may believe that not one drop of this costly blood shall be a useless sacrifice.

IMPORTANT FACTS. —Constant writing for six months is done cheaper with Gold Pens than, with Steel Pens ; therefore, it is economy to use Gold Pens.

The Gold Pen remains unchanged by years of continued use, while the Steel Pen is ever changing by corrosion and wear; therefore, perfect uniformity of writing is obtained only by the use of the Gold Pen.

The Gold Pen is always ready and reliable, while the Steel Pen must be often condemned and a new one selected; therefore, there is great saving of time in the use of the Gold Pen.

Gold is capable of receiving any degree of elasticity, so that the Gold Pen is exactly adapted to the hand of the writer; therefore, the nerves of the hand and arm are not injured, as is known to be the case by the use of Steel Pens.

See "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword," in the next column.

GOLD PENS, WITHOUT CASES.

For 25 cents, the Magic Pen; for 38 cents, the Lucky Pen; for 50 cents, the Always-Ready Pen; for 75 cents, the Elegant Pen; and for $1, the Excelsior Pen. The sizes are, No 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

THE SAME PENS IN SILVER-PLATED EXTENSION

The numbers indicate size only: No. l being the smallest, No, 6 the largest, adapted for the pocket; No. 4 the smallest, and No. 10 the largest Mammoth Gold Pen, for the desk.

The "1st Quality" are pointed with the very best Irodosmin Points, carefully selected, and none of this quality are sold with the slightest imperfection which skill and the closest scrutiny can detect.

The "2d Quality" are superior to any Pens made by him previous to the year 1860.

The " 3d Quality" he intends shall equal in respect to Durability, Elasticity, and Good Writing Qualities (the only true considerations) any Gold Pens made elsewhere. In regard to the Cheap Gold Pens, he begs leave to say that, previous to operating his New and Patented Machines, he could not have made as Good Writing and Durable Pens, for the price, had the Gold been furnished gratuitously.
