After the Ball.
They sat and combed their beautiful hair,
Their longj bright tresses, one by one, Q
As they laughed and talked in their chamber

After the revel was done.

In a palace's grandjsaloon.
Flashing of jewels and flutter of laces,
Tropical odors sweeter than musk,
.Men and women with beautiful faces,0
And eyes of tropical dusk;
O
And one face shining out like a star,
One face haunting the dreams of each,
And one voice sweeter than others are,
Breaking in silvery speech, q
Telling through lips of bearded bloom
An old, old story over again,
As down tbProyal bannere'3 room,
To the golden git tern's strain.

While an unseen spirit walks beside,

Going as a Substitute.
"Just my luck!" roared the Captain,
"dashing into the room like a tornado, and
banging the door behind him with a spite
ful emphasis. " 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 ? Foor dear Mary ! She has the
little ones with her, and she knows no
niore about traveling than a kitten. But,
1 say, Harry !"
"Veil." o
" Do be obliging for once it would e

" What would ?"
" Why, to go on and meet Mary and the
little chicks for me."
Kentwood Daleput his hand on my

I opened myeyeseprecatingly.
" Nonsense, Kent !"
Do, Harry : you can'timagine the re
lief it will be to me? I'd do so much for

what a tight place it is for a fellow
to he in." r? M
During all the 23 years of my life I
never had acquiredthe useful art of say
ing "o," and thisCapt. Dale knew full
well. It was rather an embarassing affair,
this going, to meet an another man's wife
and babes ; but what was I todo ? Kent
wnod hedged so hard, ?nd the case did
seem rather a particular one.
" You'll go, Harry V1 Q
And I answered with an inward groan :

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.

Correspondence of e New York World.
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
