Emily came to her. in the same room, the front

ioyf'ul with welcome, hut started back appalled by 
the white, still face she met. Miss Barclay went up 
to her and said drearily: , 
“Emily, 1 am all you hare now. He h gone. 
The girl to whom the ill news came with such fell 
snddennes3, burst into a passion of grief: then try¬

fears were a strange solace. She look Emily home 
with her—her sister from henceforth. She might go

How dreary the months were which ml lowed ! 
Emily was the first to learn resignation for the loss 
of tho dead, who died BO gloriously. Kate was

manly talk, then a few words in a voice full of tears,

“Miss Barclay,’' he said, “berpis yonr protege.

There wore few words spoken during the short 
walk, but wheu they were parting on Miss Barclay’s 
door-step, she gave her hand to Richard Keene, and 
said, earnestly: 
“T)o not doubt that all I can do for your sister

She had poured out the words into lento s ear wim 
might and main- bent on making lier understand the 
tnuh lest she might taint again. But such bwoous 
do not liappen twice in one day. Miss Barclay com¬ 
prehended all now. ami was herHell again; ready, 
with courteous greeting, for him who came down 
the path—the returned warrior, with the sear seam¬ 
ing hi* broad brow, and showing how near he had

he was going back. 
Of course be staid with them there at Sea View 
fora while, mulct course they nursed aud petted 
him, as women always do their returned braves. It 
whs strange how soon all the sadDess went out ol 
Kate’s heart, the melancholy out of her manner. 
One day lie said to her: 
“ You are too kimt to me.” 
“ 1 do not feel hh it 1 could be,” she answered, 
wheu i re.member what you have suffered aud who, 
sent you forth to light" . , 
He did not speak again lor a few moments, and 
then he asked a strange question: 
“ Miss Barclay, what should you think ol a man, 
au honest loan, who loved a woman dearly, but did 
not ask her to marry him because she was rich and 
he was poor, and be knew the world would brand 
him a fortune-hunter.” ... 
Mis* Barclay blushed, but she answered bravely: 
‘•1 should tliiuk poorly ol a man's courage whom 
the world’s opinion could sway in the most sacred 
matters ot' his heart and his life; and if he believed 
the lady would ever remember on which side )he 
tortune was, 1 should wonder at him lor thinking 
her worthy of bis love.” 
His eyes—those honest, earnest eyes—looking at 
her with something iu their glance which thrilled 
her heart with a strange, now, timid joy. He only

now— eit still aud wish something elBe?” 
“Why do you judge mo so unkindly, Major 
Iioss?” 
The lips began to pout now, a little temper to 
blend with the courage iu the fine eyes. 
Because you do not do what you can even now. 
If yon were not my cousin, I suppose 1 should not 
speak so plainly. As it is, it vexes me when I hear 
yon wishing, morning, noon, and night, to be and 
do the impossible; and yet never trying to do what is 
ready to your hand. Do yon thiuk there is no better 
use for the money you are wasting so carelessly in 
Bilks and faces? How much was Madame Ferrara's 
bill last quarter?” 
“Money won’t fight, and Government pays the 
soldiers—belter, 1 heard you say so yesterday, than 
any army is paid iu Europe.” 
“Yet, by giving a little more than Government 
giveB, I thiuk you could hire some one who would 
not go otherwise, to tight for you.” 
“A man whom a little more money would influ¬ 
ence! A man who would go for money, and would 
not go without ill Why! such a cowardly soul 
would get drummed out of the ranks alter the first 
battle.” 
Major Ross smiled, a calm, meaning smile—such 
as always provoked his cousin, for it seemed to her 
like an assertion of superiority, 
“You just look at one side of your question, Kate, 
and then jump at your conclusion. 1 know a man 
who told me yesterday he would go to war if he 
could afford it; a man who is neither cold or cow¬ 
ardly. 11c has a sister, a girl of fifteen. The two 
are orphans, and his mother’s dying breath gave her 
to his care. They were well born, but they had 
fallen into poverty, and he resolved that his sister 
should have the education of a lady. She is at 
school now. If he had the meaus to leave her pro¬ 
vided for, he would enlist; but what if he should 
die, and that poor, pretty, undisciplined child should 
be left, alone In the wide world, with no means ot 
support, no protector, no friend? Could he answer 
it to his mother when he met her in the country 
which souls people?” 
Kate had listened with breathless attention. 
“ Would he fight well?” she asked, musingly. 
“No man better. There is not a drop of coward 
blood iu bis veins. He is the very one I would 
choose to have stand beside me in the front of the

TEE RURAL NEW-YORKER will enter upon lie Fourteenth Year nml Volume in Jamiftiy,

Contents and Appearance. If we fail of making it unequalled in all the essentiata c> a _ 
Agricultural, Horticultural, Literary and Family Newspaper, it will not be for the lac P P 
intention, effort or expenditure. Though we trust those familiar with Us Objects, Character and 
Reputation, and the manner in which it has been Conducted from its commencement, dc . not )reqture 
any special assurance* or pledges as to the future, we may say that the Bpot of foe lton«y 
Etc “Excelsior,” will continue to be manifested in the Variety, Usetulnes* and ot Bs 
Contents, as well as in tho number and quality of Us illustrations. Indeed, we are resolved that, the 
Rural New-Yorker shall continue to be, what it has long been pronounced, 
THE BEST JOURNAL OF ITS CLASS ON THE CONTINENT! 
And if its Agents and Subscriber* continue their aid and support-as they have most nobly done 
since the breaking out of a Rebellion threatening the life of the Nation-our craft will go through 
the war with all sails set. Though its voyages may not be profitable lo the owner dunng such a 
crisis, “sink or swim, survive or perish” it will always be found on the side of Rkuit and again* 
Wrong— always Loyal. Patriotic and Progressive ; in favor of the War for the Union and nil 
(regardless of their political predilections) who fight to bring it to a speedy and just, termination. 
“I know it. His whole heart is in the fight now. 
If he were Bure that she could be secured from 
future privation or friendlessness, his name would 
be enrolled to-morrow.” 
Kate’* face glowed with eager resolve. 
“lie s hall be sure. 1 cauuot give my life to my 
country. 1 ought not to shrink from giving every¬ 
thing else. That girl is au orphan like me. She 
shall be my sister. I will undertake her expenses 
while her brother i* away, aud if he dies, she shall 
share dollar for dollar with me all I possess.” 
Major Boss looked at his young cousin almost 
reverently. He was just beginning to see below the 
happy cureless surface of her nature, but he made 
no comments on'her resolve. 
“Wait here," he said simply, “and I will bring 
your soldier.” 
In half au hour he returned. He brought with 
him a tall, athletic, strong man, with a face brave 
and masterful rather than handsome. 
“Miss Barclay, this is Mr. Keene — Richard 
Remembered and Mourned. — For every man 
who falls in battle some one mourns. For every 
man who dies in hospital wards, and of whom no 
note is made, some one mourns. For the humblest 
soldier shot on picket, aud of whose humble exit 
from the Mage of life little is thought, some one 
mourns. Nor this alone. For every soldier dis¬ 
abled; for every one who loses an arm or a leg, or 
who is wounded or languishes iu protracted suffer¬ 
ing; lor every oue who has “only camp fever, 
some heart bleeds, some tears are shed. In far-off 
humble households, perhaps, sleepless nights and

his family or friends brings a lasting pang with him. 
Oh! how the mothers feel this warl If ever God is 
sad in Heaven, it seems to me it must he when he 
looks npon the hearts of mothers. We who are 
young think little of it; neither, I think, do the 
fathers or the brothers think much of it; but it is 
the poor mothers aud wives of the soldiers. God
