" Every officer absent with out leave, and the Colonel don't see how he can dispense with my valuable services even for a day. Confound his politeness!" 3 "Now, then," quoth I, soothingly, " stead v, old fellow! it Isn't worth while Ho excite yourself in such very warm weather. Be calm." The Captain stamped hiafeet with des pairing energy. " Calm ! cIt's very well for you bache lors to talk about being calm, but suppose yotPd just got a telegram from your wife that she was coming on to join you, and requesting you to meet her at Philadelphia andsuppQse you couldn't get leave of absence forso much as an hour Then: would you not see where the calmness come in ?

Poor Mary, she'll beShalf frightened out of her seuses in a strange place by her5elf.J, And Capt, Dale hurried aray, leaving me to cogitate on the approaching pleas ure of a night journey on the railroad. I had comfortably established myself on a snugly cushioned seat, where the swing ing lamp would afford sufficient light to read the evening paper, and Kentwoo3 Dale's beaming countenance-was thrust in through the window, by "way of a good bve. ''I'm so much obliged to you, old fel low!" he rvjteratc-d. "You'll tell Mary just how it happened." " All right !" I responded. The whistle gave its unearthly yell--the cars trembled as if a pulse of life was thrilling through their iron links, and we began to move. I was preparing to un fold my newspaper, when all of a sudden it dropped to the floor. The prettiest creature I ever saw. Blue eyed, with sunny hair, full of fleeting golden lights, and a mouth like a little red plum a genuine blonde, in a trim traveling dress, whose olor I suppose the milliners have some name or other for it but I should call it the tint of a purple; smoke-wreath. I took all these particu lars a? one glance while she stood in the Q-isle, apparently awaiting the motions of a! stout young man who was reconnoiter ing a little in advance. " All full, Eey," he said, despondingly. Then perceiving the vacant spot by my side, his face lighted. O Q " If this seat isn't engaged sir, my sis ter " His sister! What a lucky thing she wasn't his wife ! I sprang up with instan taneous politeness. " Certainly, sir by all means." The stout young man wiped his fore head and retreated to the emoking-car, much relieved. Actually, the heartless wretch seemed delighted to get rid of his 0 pretty companion and her traveling-bags, butthen brothers never appreciate the perfections of a sister! How I wished I had devoted a little more time to my toilet before starting. I was painfully' conscious of my cravat be ing carelessly tied,3 and the top button be ing off my shirt bosom, every time the blue eyes were timidly turned toward me. Hang that washerwoman at the camp ! did she pave her garden walks with mother- of-pearl butt cms ? Andbesides, I was by no means certain that my moustache had' been properly waxed, or my hair parted Straight behind. But I forgot these dreadful misgivings after a while, and edged gradually into conversation with ray blue-eyed neighbor. What did w talk abtut? Why, Byron and war, crochet work and the Sanitary Commission, of course. What'else did young people converse on in those days ? And she told me of the flannel wTappers she had made for theesoldiers, and I re lated the particulars of the one battle I had been concerned in ; and we laughed and joked and sentimentalized together, and, in short, became excellent friends. 0 o "Phil-a-del-phy !" bawled the conductor breaking ruthlessly into the midst of; a quotation that I was: musically' jnurmur ing, and I started up as if I had been shot. " My destination," I said, regretfully. r "Mine, too," saidcthe young ladyf " Where can that careless Tom be ?" " Allow me,? quoth I, burdening my self with Miss Evey's multitudinous bags ; 3" I will just take youlo the waiting room, where your brother will doubtless join VOU." 0 Didn't I feel proud just then, with the soft little hand on my arm, and the slight figure clinging up close to ine ? I should think so. I left her, unwillingly enough, in the do6rway of the cheerfully lighted " Ladies' Room,'feand sought the officials. Q " Is the New York train in ?" " Yes, sir ; just this minute arrived' 0 " Where's the conductor?" " Well, sir, it you'll wait a minute, he'll be along." o C)I stood back a few sccorfds, watchinir the tired looking travelers pour from the,. cars in sleepy confusion. At length I caught siglft of the conductor, parrying a crumpled baby in one hand) and a huge calico-covered bandbox in flie other, while behind himpame a ponderous female with freckled countenance, and bonnet crushed out of all semblanee to shape. Q "Hush up, Charles Augustus 1" cried the ladyto a wailing child three years old, whose face was scarcely discernible through the marks of tears andmolasses candy. ""If youdon't quit that hollerin' I'll skin ye ! Mary Jane, come along, or I'll leave you in the cars sure's I'm alive?" " Conductor !", I ventured, boldly stem r i ?"i -l ming nis swarm 01 ainy cnuaren. " Sif !" " I am here to meet a ladyand Children who traveled alone from Boston on this train to ." " The very ones you want fiir !" said the conductor, sliding the limp Ibaby Into Say arms aid dropping the bandbox with alacrity. " Here's the gentleman, ma'am. IJtold you tkere wouldn't be any difficulty aboutdJaeeting him." And before I could offen my lips to re monstrate, he ponderous woman had pre cipitated herself on me bodily and was hangingQound my neck, witha succession of kisaea that sounded like the report of a pecket pifitol. " I knowedyou'd come to meet me, Hi ram I knowed you'd, never desert your own Melviny, to say nothing of the chil dren. Come here, Mary Jane and Charles Augustus, and kiss your own father I I declare 1 if them regimentals don't make you look as fine as a fiddle ! I dare say for it I shouldn't have Snowed ye, now't you've got your hair and whiskers col ored ! You always was such a slim, gen teel figure ! But you'd ought to have sent me that bounty money, Hiram I'll stick to that, if it was the last word I ever spoke." I looked around despairingly for fome one to-'free me from this terrible bondage! Alas, unkind fate ! there was my blue-eyed compagnon du voyage convulsed with pret tyrmalieious laughter at the plight I was in. " I never imagined that you were a mar ried man," said she, demurely. "Upon my word, it is quite a privilege to witness this sweet little episode of domestic affec tion. Take care you'll drop the baby if you hold it in that sort of way." I set my teeth close together and strove to wrench myself away from the cotton gloved fingers of the woman who seemed so determined to appropriate me. " Let go of my cravat, madam V' I said sharply, for she was clinging to me as the veritable Old Man of the Sea might have clung to Sinbad. " I am entirely at a loss to imagine what you mean by thi-s singular conduct. My name is not Hiram I am not married, and I never set eyes on you before to-night Let go I say, and take your baby."0 q The woman recoiled a step or two, and gazed full in my face for the first time, with a cry like a baffled tigress. " Land o' Goshen !" she shrieked, " it isn't Hiram, after all and the good-for- nothing, shiftless, mean-spirited cur ain't here to look after his own wife and child ren. I do say for't," she articulated, fiercely clenching her rmuscular fist, " I knowed Hiram Peck was meaner'n a mus cle shell, but I didn't s'pose he was mean enough to leave me in the lurch this way." She snatched the baby, broke away from me, and rushed impetuously toward the conductor, whose distant lantern glanced among the platforms beyond. " Conductor ! I say, conductor ! we've woke the wrong passenger. That ere fel ler ain't Hiram Peck no more'n you be, and what on airth be I goin' to do ?" G y All this time my blue-eyed divinity had been smiling at my dilemma in the most heartless manner ; arid I was glad to make a diversion by pouncing upon the con ductor and blowing him up for his absurd mistake. He apologized, with a satirical griii) on his face. "And now, sir," he added, suddenly resuming the brisk busi ness like manner of every day life, " I think the rightrlady is fin the waiting; room she came to meet Capt. Dale." "That's the0 name," I answered, promptly. A slender, lady-like thing was anxiously waiting in the ladies apartment, with a stout Irish nurse and two delicate infants of two and three years of age. She sprang forward with a bright agitated face, as she caught a glimpse of my undress and gilt buttons, q " Kentwood !" And then she drew back disappointed and confused. ' Notexactly Kentwood, madam," I an swered, " but his substitute." And then, according Jto my promise, I explained the circumstances of the case, giving a highly colored account of my ad- ventures, which made ,0 Mrs. Dale laugh heartily. " And now," I added, "if I get a carriage and we make pretty good speed, wg, shall reach the Washington depotin time for the train." 0 cKentwood Dale was eagerly watching for me, as the carriage drove into camp in the brilliant August sunshine of the next morning. e9 " I am so much obliged to you, Harry," he reiterated after he had joyously wel comed the newcomers. "So you ought to be," said I with a groan. " It's the last expedition of the kind I shall undertake at present." I have never seen the blue-eyed syren since, nor, to say the truth, do I wish to.. That merciless giggling of hers cured me pretty effectually of the brief fever of love that was beginning to cthrob 'with in me. Girls, do you want a piece of good ad vice from real life ? Well, here it is. When 0 you see a young fellow in a ridiculous plight don't laugh at him sympathize rather with his tribulation. Laughter is sure to frighten Cupid's fluttering wings away at least such is my experience. nrxT to Assessors.

The works on the Palace of the osi tion are now sufficiently advanced to ena ble one to judgg)of the general aspect which it will present in 1867. Until very lately, a visit to the hamp de Mars has been in the last degree unsatisfactory. A view cf a vast Cyclopian establishment, half-drow owned out by the incessant rains of 1st secSon, obtained throuffh the the pas interstics of wooden barcades, befiig the only reward for the explorer after a tramp over a saturated road ; order has now grown out of chaos ; the edificeQis nearly terminated, and whatever may be its architectural defects , when tested accord ing to the severe rules of art, the Exposi tion building isa very imposing structure. :yLe Constituiionel of yesterday dedicates two columns to a resume of the works ac complished, their destination, etc. The article contains so much valuable informa tion that I borrow from it for the benefit of the readers of the World. " The plan of the building isan immense rectangle about J20 yards in length by 416 in breadth, terminating at its two extremi ties by half circles of 416 yards diameter, the great central axis passes directly fronP the Pont d'Jean to the Ecole Militaire, but the monument is nearer the EOleMilitaire than to the quay, in order to leave a greater space for the park in Upfront. The surface covered by the palace is about 40 acres. It is occupied by a series of concentriG galleries, enclosing a garden of rather more than an acre in extent. These circular galleries are cut by radiating galleries from the centre to the outer en trances. This disposition allows the va rious production o be classed by similar groups and by nationalities. In passing through the circular galleries 1G incum ber the visitor-will have under his eye all r the products of the same class, while in each of the 16 radiating galleries he will be able to take in the entire exposi tion of a nation. The building is entirely level (or, as we would sav in America, has but one storv), and is constructed en tirely of cast and wrought) Iron, with the exception ofthe outer walls of the central garden, which are of masonry. The roof ing i3 almost entirely composed of wrought iron, only a small part of the building being covered with zinc. Oil en tering any one of the 16 doors Correspond ing with the radiatinggalleries, the visitor will find himself vmder a covered walk of about 25 feet in width and a mile arxmnd, bordering the first gallery of products (30 feet wide) consisting (if articles of food of all classes and inall degrees of prepara tion consequently a (reserved space for restaurants of alPnations. The next gal leryjjjntended for machines, is about 110 feetHvide. and is elevated some feet alcove all the others. From without this gallery conceals the entire interior of the paiace. The roof of this part of the building is supported by iron pillars with open arches. Onecan imagine the effect of this part of the building by supposing the Boulevard Sebastopol for American comprehension say Pennsylvania avenue- built tip with six-story white stone buildings, covered a '-0 the height of the roofs of the houses by an iron vaulfrwb.ose summit should rise above the chimneys. This isthe most remarka ble part of the new construction. Here exhibitors are now athe work of installa tion. The succeeding galleries, 73 feet in width, are for mineral products, clothing, house-building, and material or thelib eral arts. Finally, the two galleries which circumscribe tfe garden have, the first 50 feet in width andbout half a mile in cir cumference : the second, farthest from the garden, is but 2o feet wde. The first is reserved for an exposition of the fine arts, the second for the history of labor (in struments of the age of stone, etc.) The garden itself is bordered bya covered promenade about 20 feet wide. "The edifice is perfectly lighted. Light enters everywhere in profusion. The ma chine gallery has 2 GO immenseCsvmdoWjS, 22 feet high by 13 wide. The interview galleries1 are lighted by square windows mutipliedP infinitely. 0 " The ventillation of this immense cori 0 0 struction has been a matter of serious study. Underneath each gallery there circulates a system of subterranean galle ries, arranged so as to convey pure air to every part of the building. vErating ma chines take in the external airand destrib ttte it throughout the interior by means of gratings, like those employed to carry hot air from furnaces. The sewerage system is also of the best possible construction, and, immense cellars are provided for the preservation of the alimentary substances in the various restaurants " These underground cOnstru ction3 arc ofvast extent. The se wjers are nearly flv e miles in totaD development. There Sre more than 10,000 tons of iron empioyea in the building, and 6,000.000 I rivets, lori which 15,000,000 ot noies nau 10 oe uureu. The under-pinning of the ginc roofs has taken 1,200 cubic yards of wood, and 60, 000 yards superfine zinc; The windows of the grand gallery have required 50,000 yards squar of glass, the other galleries 25,000." The mosj extraordinary feature g, these works is the rapidity with which they have beefl accomplished. .The 1st of August, 1865, no definite plan had been adopted. The first agreement with t he constructors were concluded in the month of Septem- fcer, 1865. G La2t year, at this time, the 0 Champ de Mars still served as the paradd ground for military exercises, and at the present moment the whole building is completed, with the exception of its inter nal decorations. T. M. Krank, Engineer-in-CJueT of the roads and bridges of France, to whom the difficulties of the en terprise were confided, has accomplished rhi3 task with a marvelous intelliiren,.- - - o which has no equal for never befor has an engineer been set down in faeejof a mere difficult problem than he has had to work out. The park surrounding the building will Contain abst 70 acres, including the space upon which numerous constructions for steam grower must be placed. The laying out and decorations of park and garden are cogfided to Mr. Alphand, the Englneer-in-Chief of the gardens and promenaues 01 rans. w The city is already filling up with strangers, whcPengage their lodgings for a whole year in advance, in anticipation of the press in the spring. The Count de Flandres has rented the left wing of the Grand Hotel) from the 1st of April to the 1st of October. The Duke of Nassau has engaged a fine hotel for a permanent resi dence, and a better man than either, Professor Moore, of telegraph celebrity, ha9 taken a residence near the Champs Elyees for the coming year. Many of our counlrynienCsjf minor celebrity and of no celebrity at all, are to be found in all the principal hostelries, making their arrange- Jrnients, for the coming solemnities, a3 the nativerpf these paQa would express it. o --1 Josh Billixg's RepliesO-I kant tell yd the best wa tew bring up a boy ; but if I had one that didn't lie well enuff to suit me, I think now I would sett him in tending ari good store.
