T.lie followiriK pretty little story is nnrrntPii by Frederika. Bremer,, who vimclicj for its truthfulness: In th. University of Upsaln, in Swe den, lived a yotini; student, a noble youth, with great love for studies, but without means for pursuing them. He was poor, without connections. Still be studied, lived in (treat poverty, but keep ing a cheerful heart, and trying to look at the future, which looked so grim at bim. His good humor and excellent qualities made him beloved by Ip. com rades. One day be was standing at the square with some of them, prattling away an hour of leisure, when the atten tion of the young men became arrested by a youog Miid elegant lady, who, by the siile 'of an older one, was slowly walkiiig over die place. It was Ihe ilnVliter of Ihe Governor of Upsala, liv ing in the city, and the lady was her governess. She was gancrally knowu for her goodness and gentleness of char acter, iiml looked at with admiration by the eindents. As the young men btood gazing at her as she passed like a grace ful vision, ono -of them suddenly ex claimed Well, it would be worth something to have a kins from such a mouth." The poor aiudent, the beto of our sto ry, who looked on that pure angelic face, excliiimed, as if by inspiration Well, I think I could have it" Well," cried his friends in a cbor jfl( are you cruzy Do you know her Not at all," he answered, but I think she would kiss me if I asked her." "WbaUinthis place and before all our eyes "Yes.";' "Freely?" '"Yes, freely." Well, if she will give you a kisi ia thnt manner. I will give you a thousand dollars," excliiimed one of the party. "And J," "and I," exclaimed three or four others, for it happened that fev ral rich men were in the group, and the betH ran high on so improbable an event. The challenge was mnde and received in lens time than it takes to tell it. Our hero (my authority tells not whether bs was plain or handsome; I have ray peculiar reasons for thinking thnt he was rather plain, but singularly good looking at the same time) immedi ately walked up to the young lady and said Mine fraulein, my fortune is now in your hands." She looked at him with astonishment, but arrested her steps.. He proceeded to state his Dame and condition, his as nirntinna. and related simDT what had just now passed between him and his comrades. The young lady listened attentively, and at his ceasing to speak, she said blushingly, bnt with great sweetness: If by so little a thing so moch good can be effected, it would be foolish for me to refuse your request;" and pub licly, in the open square, she kissed fcim. I'be next day the stndent was sent for by the Governor He wanted to see the man who darrd to seek a kiss from his duugbter in that way, and ahora she consented to kiss. He received him with a scrutinizing bow, but after an hour's conversation was so pleased with him that he ordered him to dine at his tabic daring his stud ies at Upsala. Our young friend pursued his studies in such a manner that it soon rae.de him regarded as one of the most promising si'.idcnts in the University. Three years were now passed since the Grst kiss, when the young man was al lowed to give a second kiss to the daugh ter of the Governor, as hia wife. He become, later, one of the most noted scholars in Sweden, and was much respected for his character. His works will endnre while time lusts, among the work of science; and from this happy union sprang 'a family well known tn Sweden at the present time, whose wealih uni position in society are regarded as trifles in comparison with lis goodness and lave. A Foisonou Bpider. A correspondent of one of our ex changes thus describes the effect of a spider bite: The night after the second Bull Ron battle the company to which I was at tached encamped at Cerrtreville Hights. The boys were short for blankets, having dropped many of them in their late forced marchea. My chum and my lf had nue between os. with which we covered ouraelvea aswelaynpon the bare ground. Soon alter laying down l leit something like a bee-sting upon my knee On striking a match I found that I had been bitten by a large gray spider. 1 immediately took from my haversack a slice of raw pork and boned it upon the bitten pert, and agaift laid down... Bat I was toon in anch patn that it was "impossible to sleep, or even to he stiH. 0 ""XV I a? 2. AUitlCU i.i v-?- j' Vur 5K" LARGEST CITY CIIICULATIO The pain, which was at first confined to my I nee, spread over my body and seemed to be centering in the pit of my stomach. I never knew before what pain was. In my distress, I started off to find the surgeon but from the irrrgular man- 4 ner in which we were encamped this ws no easy job, and belore l sticceeoea, i was in such misery and so weakened, that I could walk but a fw steps without fulling. One of the guard thinking that I feigned my distress and weakness, told me so to my fiice, adding that I was merely scared to death." In a passion, 1 attempted to punish bis impudence, bnt my anger did not rally my strength, for as I made at bim I fell, ond he es caped. Dr. Merrow, who examined me, said it was a bad case. He immediately gave roe something to apply to my knee, and left me, with directions to come to his tent again in half an hour if I was no better. At the expiration of that time I could not stand; and Sergeant Vickery carried me to the doctor, who told his assistant as soon as he saw me, that it was of no use to do anything fur ther, as I should die before morning. Unwilling to see me die without doing anything more, the assistant said to the doctor, "You know what we gave him before that did not hurt him; shall we trv another dose T' The doctor asseuted. On civini? it to me they said "there is poison enough to kill seven well men." I tnld them Fwould take if. for I did not pnre how soon 1 was out of misery. After tiA-ino- it thev told me to lie down and keep quiet, as that was all they could do for me. In the morning, aa I could not stand, I was put in an ambulance and sent to ihe hospital at Washington.wliere I vomniiel two months belore 1 was able to rejoin my regiment, and was in the train a ahort distance from General Kearnev when he was killed.

Military Correspondence of the London Times. BatJKSt, Jnly 14. Gen Von Molike has retired to hia quarters, and is closeted with his maps, marking new plans for Ihe further progress of the new campaign, and for the occupation of Vienna. This skillful strategist, who has been the chief director of the movements by which the three Prussian armies, Btarting from different points, were collected nl the ncccessary hour on the field of 'Konnig gratz, has never, except nl that battle, appeared in from ol the armies. Some distance in the rear, sitting cnluily at bio loL- Im bus Ira ceil nil iho mans the ..mima nl' the lrnnnt.and.lv means of the field telegraph, has dashed his orders to the different Generala in more imme diate command with such skill and fore sight that not a movement had failed, and every combination has beeu made at exactly the right moment. A quick, light-blue eye, a high forehead, and a well set figure, nmrk him as an intellec tnal and energetic niun, but though quick in action he is so prudent in dis course, and so guarded in Ins speech, that from this quality and his wide knowledge of the European language he is known in the army as Ihe man who is silent in seven tongues. Careful nd laborious, he has worked out with hia own hand and himself calculated almost every detail in the operathns which have taken Europe by surprise from iho light ning rapidity of his strokes, and the tre mendous consequences of bis disposi tions, before winch the Austrian army has withered awiiy almost before it was gathered together, and which have won for him from his countrymen the titlo of the first strategist of Europe. But though Gen. Von Moltke has in so short a time deservedly obtained such a high reputation in Prussia, the soldiers and officers of the two armies think al most as highly of the Princes who have carried out so ably the pl.tns which were formed by the Chief of the Royal Staff. Prince Frederick Charles, with all the dash and fire of a cavalry officer, cai equally well lead hia column to pursue the broken enemy, and direct with pa tience his infantry and artillery in an attack against afirm and steady line; but his qualities as a General do not shine out more in the exciting duties of the battle-field than they do in the more tedious and laborious work which is nec essary for the comfort of his soldiers in quarters or r the line of march. He has a singular power of making his troops care little fur fatigue and hard ship: on the line of march he is always with them, and often, from bis knowledge of how to deal with his men, can; by a few happy words, close up a strag gling battalion, and send the men for ward cheering loudly. In the bivouac often, in person, he inspects the rations and hears the applications of Ihe men for favors or indulgences, and few apply in vain to their Commander-in ChieK He has both the confidence and love of his troops, who regard him as a skillful lender Bnd powerful friend. The Crown Prince has, bv three vic tories, in three successive days, estab lished his title to being consid-red a general. In the second army he is looked npon with the same affection and confidence as Prince Frederick Chnrles is in the first. By the men of Silesia, he is particularly beloved, for he com manded a regiment at Breaiau, and be came well known then to the whole prov ince Carelus of trouble, ever anxioos for the welt ire of his troops, he visits, personally, the billets and hospitals, and takes the mt 't kindly interest in every individual so'dier. But in the hour of need he does not spare bis troops, for his affection for them springs from a sense of duty and from no mere desire of popularity. The march from Miletin to Konniggrutz, asJ the attack on the Austrian ngbt in the name wnien crumbed Marshal Benedek's army and has, perhaps, shaken the Anstrian dy nasty, aay more for bis energy in action than could lie written in any words. With such leaders and so welUed, with a better arm than their enemies with every mechanical contrivance trhirh modern science can suggest, adapted to aid the operation nf the army, it is iittle wonder that the stout-hearted and long enduring Prussian soldiers have proved victorious on every occasion on which ihrv have gone into action. Aaothsr Civil War. The Louisville Jnvrnaf disronrseth as follows: The Hon. Montgomery Blair says that the Ji'otth u drifting into a civilwar through Radical agencies. Tha Eon. Mr. Raymond, editor of the New- York Timrt, member of the lover branch, ot JLl JJJj 0 V. Congress, and also member of the late Radical caucus at Washington, states that tha Radicals are making prepara tions for civil war which they expect to bls7 np at the assemblage of Congress in December. Major General Sherman tells the young men in a public speech that they will live to see fighting in com parison with which all, that he has done is but child's play. Undoubtedly there is danger, dreadful danger ahead. Con gress could remove all danger in a sin gle hour, but that body tee ma "smitten with judicial blindness," and there is little or nothing to lie hoped from it. We had better, all of us, whilst giving our whole energies lo the maintenance of peace, put our ajfuirs in order so as to be prepared, as we may fur the worst. The future is not bright; it is lurid with bale fire a We sometimes fancy that it is palled in the dunuest smoke of hell." Shall the million Uvea, sacrificed to the God of BattK'S, prove to have been sac rificed tu vaiu I Are the Radicals deter mined that it shall be so? Now that tbe negro is free, why do they rave even more fiercely than they did before Cable End.

Perhaps, if ihe Empress of Anstria were not an extremely pretly, genlle, af fectionate woman, the Hungarians might nol have been quite so much enraptured. But then it is part of the profession of royalty lo marry such a person. The Prince nf Wales has uiarried a very preny wniiinn. The Emperor of the French hai married one of die band kuiiiett women in Europe. The Prince of Prussia has married one of the bright est, cleeresl, liveliest women to be found in any rani; of life. .The Empress of Anslria is under a sort of duly -to le worth looking 1.4, and, being pretty, she eon help her husband at a moment of pol tical crihis.
