THE ANGEL OF 8HIL0H. RY AB EX-ARMY IX' RUBOR. "Yon found tbe tavera full T" Tbe .speaker was a banaaoma, intaJJi-gent-looking getitlamau of perhaps 40 evidently a citiaen of the village, and resident of tbe handsome but unpreten tious dwelling house iu front of which he was standing. "Yes," I replied ; 1 was too lata by half an hour, so the landlord informed me. Von thai! be welcome bare, II you will aecept of mod eat quarters aad plain fare." The tone of voice, no leas than the words uttered, assured me that the of ft r of hospitality was sincere, and with a grateful heart and a simple ex pros sion of thanks I paaeed through the gate and clasied the extended hand of the man who, although I had not even knowu of his existenoe till this minute, aud who I had every reaaan to auppoes was a foe of the cause I repieaeatod a rebel to the Government whoso uni form 1 wore, yet in whom I iioofntaad a friend and brother. "You are very kinil," 1 said, "more kind than you know, for 1 am not only weaiy hut ill, or I should not have sought lodgings indoors while my com rades were ex(osed to the privations of camp life." "1 am glad of the opportunity to of fer hospitality to a professional brother," ho responded, "for 1 ktniw from tbe lat ter on your hat-band that you are a surgeon, aud I am a physician. This would have been sufficient to have prompted me to invite you in, but eonie thiag else, a sudden but unexptainable impulse, which I could not reeiid, im pelled mo to do i:." By this time I had been led into the family room a most cheerful room. A beecliwood tirn blazed and glowed upon the hearth : a briaht caruet with marut colors covered the room ; aa old-fashioned mahogany sideboard atoud to the left, and a bureau of tbe aame rteh wood faced it on the other aide of the room, and in one corner a clock of "ye olden time," and known by the title of wall-sweeper, counted off the arconds with atately precision, and aoanded the knell of the dying hours in a solemn monotone. Easy-chairs stood back against the farther wall like sentries on an inner picket line, while the others were grouped about the cheerful fire, and these, as we entered, were occupied by persons whose faces I could never have forgotten hsd I seen them but for a moment, and which are now photo graphed on my heart forever and sye? There were three persona in this grout a venerable old gentleman, a whitev haired, matronly and kindly faced old lady, and a golden-haired, blue-eyed voting lady father, mother and dough ter of my friendly host, Dr. Jewell. There is something in a name, else how should these ieople be so appro priately named f I wondered and pon dered the mot e when I learned that the brightest and richest and rarest gem in the group had the beautiful name of Lilian. I beg the leader's pardon I have not told him or hei,-aa the case msy ls, wi.. 1 uai. nr whew, how, or where a i this happened. M y name is Alden ; a lineal descend ant I am from John aad Prisoilla Al den, whose romantic history you have doubtless read in poetry if not in prose. My anceators had gone West almost a century ago, hence those provincial prejudices ao characteristic of those de scendants of the Mayflower party who still cling to the crags of Plymouth Rock had been lost in the bread and fertile valleys of Ohio, or they had wandered off and found a nower-be-apangled grave on the boundless prai ries of Illinois. At any rate they found no piece in my heart. The time ef which I write was Jan uary, 18G-. Place, Southwestern Ken a vs .a tucuy. urant h army was making s grand reconneisauoe in force, with a view to feeling of the enemy before making aa attack upon Fort Bonald son. A cold, pitiless rain had pelted us all day, and was still pouring down upon soldiers and ofticers alike. When the village of B came in view, at o dock in the afternoon, I had trudged through the mud and waded swo Hen streams from early morn, having sur rendered my horse to a sick soldier of the brigade to which I was attached, and was, therefore, worn and weary almost III.

Returning to tbe parlor, I observed a large bowl of steaming puBoh, BBBBod by goblets, upon a table whiob bad beau drawn up aaar tbe hie, aad by whiob aa easy chair bad been placed. Tbo family arose aa tbe defter and I advaaead, i . a i k bit B aud the old geanesaaa Beaver s brief bul very aleqaeat apaseb.

Hopper being announced al this mo ment, the old folks led the way, aad tbe doctor, taking my arm, followed thorn lata a large, old-laahioaod room, which served as both kitchen and ilia- v. a a as a a ing-room. it was a most onsen a i and horns like place ; tbe table, which stood in the center of tbo an carpeted floor, presented a neat, inviting appears nee to a soldier who had bean on short ra ti -ms for aame days, aud who had eaton nething for twelve boars. Ham aad a as a a a eggs, and delicious corn cakes, doae to a turn, with sweet country butter, sad coffee with real orem, constituted the bill ef fare. It wa ample, aad I did full justice to it. The evening hours n. . rapidly pai on downy wings of friendly converej, till the old eloek in the corner mv nouneed the hour ef eleven, when the Ihoaghtful mother mildly suggested thst the Msjor was doubtless tired aad weald like to retire. I disclaimed any thought of weariness, and indeed I ot tered but the simple truth ia saying that I had not been so entirely re freshed for weeks. It is passing strange what power there is in good-fellowship to restore the wasted energies of the body as well as tbe spirit. So we eat another a brief, a delicious hour aad then the good -nights wore said, aad I retired to sleep and dream. Tbo blue- eyed Lilian formed the web, and horrid battle-scenes the woof of ay visions. The beautiful girl bad soareely altered a desen words during the evening, but she had been a most eleqaent auditor She had sat almost directly opposite me, and ay eyes rested upon hot as I addressed other members ef tbe group, and they did not fail at any time to meet a sympathetic response from her heavenly-tinted orbs ; nor was there the roast embarrassment in this, for her ooentenance bore such a perfect expres sion of innocent interest aa to reveal a spirit at once modest and para as an angel In ay dreaa a bloody battle was rsgmg. My eat a were filled with the boom of cannon, the crash of small arms, the scream of shell, aad" the shrieks aad groans of dying men. The scene changed. I wandered over tbe fields of carnage. The dead ware thick about ae. A groan reached my ear, sltd J kwnl my MOpS 1st lb d I notion wktaBow lha sound asms).

Bat ay dreams remain id ae a vivid memory of a startling reality. I could not but believe that it was a pre sentiment, aad although I kept it leaked ia my heart.ea a aad though root -iahed secret, I resolved to asked Lilian for a picture of bar brother whiob aha had shewn me aba evaoiag before.
