‘HE EVENING STAR. | MILDRED’S SACRIFICE. The yases of beliotrope in Miss Delford’s | dain'y little parlor were distilling their sweet- est fragrance in the delicions evening breeze that tossed the muslin curtains to and tro through the wide opened windows, and the cherry boughs overshadowing the piazza eaves | were hung with sparkling jewel-sprays of cr:meson froit. July was purpliag ali the hori- zon withametbyst light: July brooded over hills with tender warmth; and Clara Delford, in her dark, rich beauty, seemed like a typic blos- scm of the brightest month in the year. Did Captain Verner notice the changing col- or in her olive cheek; the blaze that glowed be- neath her py, eyelashes, in strange, seductive brilliance? Did he observe how artistically she had posed herself on the tiny footstool close beside Mildred Mcore’s shadowy white drape- | Ties, and pure, colorless features? Clara Del- ford understood contrast and harmony,—Cap- tain Verner did not: he only knew that the two girls were like rose and lily-feryid sunshine, and pale, white starlight! “If I coujd only do something for those poor, suffering soldiers,” she said, breaking the mo- mentary silence, as if in continuation of the previous conversation. ‘Wonld not it be pos- sible for me to devote a portion of my small means to their comfort!” Captain Verner smiled; for the heiress to speak of her “small means” seemed, even to him, like an unnecessary bit of ostentation. “Certainly,” he said; “andI can assure you the money could not be put to @ better pur- pose z “Wili you object to acting as my treasurer ?”” smiled Clara, with pretty, appealing softness in her eye there are, inmy own regiment, Many cases of hardship, even destitution, nich it would give me great pleasure to re- lieve. Thank you”—as she opened the tiniest of silken purses and placed a bank note in his band with blushing confusion—“I know from experience how much good twenty dollars can do!” All this time Mildred Moore had sat silentin the shadow of the cherry boughs; now she rese and quietly withdrew. Captain Verner’s eyes followed her slight, willowy figure with invol- untary attraction. “You mustn't misinterpret poor, dear Mil- dr=-1's silence,” lisped Ciara, as the door closed; “of course she is interested in your hospital Teminiscences; but I don’t think she cares very much abcut the poor soldiers—Milly’s nature is not sympathetic, and— “And,” added the straight-forward soldier+ «her means are very limited. She gives music lessons, or something, den’t she!” He had risen, and stood there, tall and hand- some. in the golden July moonlight, Clara’s bean-ideal of a man. “Good-night, Miss Clara. I must stop at Harwood Grange for five minutes to tell them about their two boys who fell at Fredericks- burg, and I’ve two or three little errands to at- tend to in the town. We soldiers, you know, are scarcely at our own disposal.” He held the little jeweled hand in his a mo- ment, perhaps unconscious how closely he pressed it, and vanished through the crimson- sprinkled branches of the cherry trees. Ashe walked along, whistling softly to himself, he thought of Clara in her strange, transcendent beauty—of her melting, liquid eyes, and her soem, like Cupid’s bow, carved in scarlet coral. «It was generous in her to give that money,” he thought. «But I can’t understand—Hang it! it’s no business of mine, I suppose—But why couldn't Miss Mildred have expressed her sympathy in words, atleast. Itannoys me a little; and yet I don’t, for the life of me, see why it should.” “You sent that set of onyx to my mother!” he asked, an bour or so later, as he enter-d the stylish little jewelry store in the main street of thetown. “Yes! Then it’s all right, and I may as well settle the bill.” He tossed a fifty-dollar Treasury Note on the counter as he spoke. “I hardly like to part with that money,” he laughed. “The fact is, I’ye kept it about me so long that itseems almost like a lucky pen- ny Howeyer here it goes—hand over your re- ceipt.” e dashed the bit of paper in his pocket-book with the quickness that characterized all his motions, and walked out again whistling the jow refrain that made a sort of company for his solitude. It was nearly midnight, the air dewy and sultry, and the stars blazing in the violet con- eave of heaven, yet Captain Verner still sat in his balcony, idly looking out upon the summer night, with the faint fragrance of his cizar wreathed about him. Was he thinking of Miss Clara Delford, or— «Half pasteleyen high time I was asleep,” soliloquizedthe Captain, at length, giving his cigar @ toss into the quiet street below, and en- tering the room wherea shaded lamp cast a eirele of snbdned light on heaps of disordercd papers. “Hallo—what’s this?” he said, half aloud taking up atiny note that lay lightly on the top. “This isa new arrival in my chaos of documents, or ’'m mistaken.” The Cirection, “Captain Verner,” was in a strange bandwriting—nor did the contents at- jord any clew. Nothing appeared further than afitty dollar note wrapped in a bit ef paper en which was penciled these words:—«For the soldiers “Clara Delford again!’ was Verner's first exclamution. “What a splendid creature that | is!” The next glance, however, discovered new tare and perpiexity—he held the note in the fnll glare of the lamp, turning iteagerly from side to side. I thought I couldn't be mistaken,” he mut- «it is the very note I paid at Atkinson’s zhi—here are my initia: “E. V.,” in the corner. Now, how on earth— He paused, apparently in deep though “Very provoking that I can't find o night,” he marmured; “but Pilgo ta Atkii son’s the first thing in the morning !* arly dew was yet weighing down the wh rosesin thesimple town garden, plain Verner entered the jewelry store ne had purchased the set of onyx for his mother. “Whatcan I do foryou this morning, Cap- inqnired the brisk little jeweler he came forward, rubbing his smooth, white hands, “A great deal Mr. Atkinson; you can tell me you paid out this Treasury Note last He laid the mysterious “greenback” onthe glass counter: Atkinson took it up and scrutin- ized it closely, then referred to his books. tainly l can,” he said; «I purchased a autiful pearl ring trom a lady yester- evening, and paid for it with that very identical bill.” A pear! ring!—the simple words seemed to throw him off the scent again. The jeweler unlocked his show-case, and took out a small violet-yelvet case, lined with white silk, in which g!immered a pearl of surpassing beauty, set in a pl. gold circlet. =,” hesaid. “Ten years ago Ifsent to New York for that very ring, ordered by Dr Moore as a birthday gist for his little daughter, then just twelve years old.” «Dr. Moore !” repeated Verner. “Yes. Times aresadly changed now, yet I did not suppose that Miss Mildred would ever have been induced to part with that favorite Jewel—the only relic, 1 may venture to say, she has ever retained of wealthier days.” Captain Verner locked down at the ring through a strange, unwonted mist, How dit- terent was this silent sacrifice of sweet mem- ories and old associations to Clara Delford’s ostentatious gift from her overflowing coffers ! «“Silverand gold haye I none; but such as I haye give I thee.” The words came to him like a revelation of Mildred Moore’s nature. Only ning o’clock, but not too early for Mil- dred Moore to be watering her sweet peas and geraniums in the cottagegarden. Nay,so busy was she with a tiny pink blossom which had broken from its fastening, that she never heard approaching footsteps until Captain Verner’s shadow fell with large, dilated eyes, like those of a frightened fawn, and carmine burning in her usually colorless cheeks. «Captain Verner!” “Do not be startled, Miss Mildred,” he said with gentle, re-assuring accents. “I have only called to thank you for your kind donation to the sick soldiers.” She clasped her hands over her flushed face, like a child detected insome fault. «I beg your pardon; £ did not think—I never intended—” “Nay,” heinterrupted, earnestly, “1 have learned the histery of thering. Yoursacrifice is not unappreciated, and—” He stopped, for she had burst intoconvulsive | sobs and tears. It was entirely a new phace of | attention of wareate: her being. Captain Verner stood completely confounded. he known ber all these months and yet remained ignorant of the pas- sionate depthand emotion ef her character? | She was there before him no longer the fair, jionless statue, but a lovely woman, made lovelier still by tears! The citadel of his heart— undermined long age, unconsciously to him- self—surrendered at this last.attack.

J, Newton Brown, B.D., Editor mT gets of tuteoar kabenan Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust ef their ingredients and effects, I yet ar of no sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. Ido this the more readily im regard to Hooftand' German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, o! this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they w chieily an alcoholic mixture. Iam indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Exq., for the removal of this projudice by proper tests, ‘and for encourage- th n suffering from great and y.

This class ef Bitters has eaused and will continue to cause, as long a» they can be sold, hundreds to die the death of the drunkard.

AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS, We call the attention of all having relations or friends in the army to the fact thut “HOOPLAND’B GERMAN BITTERS” will cure nine-tenths of the diseases induced by exposures and privations inci- dent to carp life. In the lists, published almost daily in the newspapers, on the arrival of the sick, it will be noticed that a'very large proportion suffering from debility. Every case of that can be readily cured by Hoofiand’s German Bitters. Diseases resulting from disorders of the digestive organs are speedily removed, We have no hesita- tion in stating that, if these Bitters were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of lives migh? be saved that otherwise will be lost.
