ancestors had gone West almost a centu

so characteristic of those descendants of
the Mayflower party who still cling to

the Ohio, or they had wandered off and
found a flower-bespangled grave on the
toundless prairie of Illiiiois. At any
tt they found uo place in my heart
The time of which I write was Janua
ry, 18C2. Piaov, South wea tern Ken
tucky. Graut'H army was making a.
tjrand reconuoissance in force, with a
View to twlmg of the enemy befora
snaking tn attack upon Fort Donaldson.
A cold, pitiless rain had pelted us all
day. and was still pouring down upon
eolaiers and officers alike. When the
village of B. came in view, at 4 oclock
in the afternoon, I had trudged through
the mud and waded swollen streams
from early morn, having surrendered my
horse to a sick eoldier of the brigade to
which I was attached, and was, there
fore, worn and weary, and almost ill.
Immediately after the order had been
passed along the line to halt and pitch
tents for the night, a large number of
officers galloped on to the village and
sought sheltar beneath the roof of tho
hotel it contained. It had been my
purpose to got a hot supper and dry bed
'also, but my professional duties detained
ae for some time, and when I reached
'the door of the inn I wad informed that
not only all the beds, but every square
foot of the parlor anil sitting-room floors
had been pre-empted.
It was while tadly wending my way
Jjack to camp that I had the raro good
fortune, or fate, to attract the attention
V f Dr. Jewell. My bools were ecv red
with mud, my clothes dripping with
water, and I felt as if chilled to the juar
V.jw of mv bones and the center of my
toeart. It took but a brit-f time to warm
tne, however, for the elements of wcranth
were abundant. At hi request 1 fol
lowed the doctor Into bis chamber and
donned a suit of his eloihes, whil he

parlor, I observed a Iargs bowl of steam

table which hid h-a drawn nncar the
Cre, ftrsd by whi-h an cay chair had
bt-fcii pl.c .K 'ii-e fiQiily ajro. a the
doctor au ! I adtanoavl, aud thn old gen
tleman delivered a very brief but very
eloquent tetnpersae speech. He said :
Tott northerner lave peculiar uo
tioBs about the ml liquor, at least
some of you have. I have been told
that in some places it is an inaalt to a
sruent to offer him a glass of hot punch.
We Southerners think differently. "Witis
us it is an act of hospitality to invite bur
friends, and even stranger; to jobs As i
a social glana. I do mot know w hat your
views are, but, believing that punch is a
Sood medicine for a ilian whd has beem
ranched by a cold rain, I ordered somt
preparexl, and hope you will join as in a
glass before supper. But if you have
any conscientious scrapie we shall r
snect them, and ftt onc4 send the Isowl
from thsroons.
" I have ne tuoh scruples," I re
sponded. It is the abuse and not the
proper use of stimulant that forma the
beviiB of my temperance creeel, and ther
aw times when brandy is a blessing, and
this i one of the tinii& I shall jota
fry most heartily.
At the close of my spaeeh th ld gea
tleman gav plac te his wife, who ad
vanced and filled th goblet to th
brim, while Lilian handed them anmnd.
When each of the gentlemem had beta
supplied with full and foaming beakeas,
and tha ladies with smaller glasses only
part full, th father said to th soa,
"Qiv a toast, Walter on suitad t
Us occasion."
The doctor complied by saying :
" May th acquaintance begun to
night ripea Into a friendship befor
which all ssctional and political preju
dice shall dissolve and disappear ; and
may that friendship live and nourish ia
the hearts of all pf jscnt when this cruel
Wtr shall exist on.ly as a sad and sorrow
ful reminiscence."
Almost heartily indoM th nti
ment you have so beautifully expressed, "
I responded, and beg leave to quot
from a Northland poet in reply t
Key the eong birds of peace soon revisit oar rlses.
And cur children elsp heads whexe their Is These
eressed blades.
A reverent and fevveni Amei burst
from the lips of th old gentleman as
he touched my glass with his and raised
it to his lips ; tears rolled down the fur
rowed features of his good wife, and
tears stood in the blue eyes of the beauti
ful Lilian, and the long silken lash
that curtained those heavenly orbs
drooped and quivered like the dew
laden willow fringe that hides from
sight the crystal waters of a spring in
tto Taller of Eden th Eden of my
ahildhooa. . .
Supper bein. announced at this mo
ment, the old folks led the way, and th
doctor, taking my arm, followed them
into a lar -,e, old-fashioned room, which
served as both kitchen and dining-room.
It waa a racsfc cheerful and homt-lik
place ; the table, which stood ia th
center of the uncarpeted floor, presented
a ileal, inviting appearance to a soldiev
who had been on short rations for some
days, and who had eaten nothing fa
tweivo hours. Ham and eggs, and de
licious corn cakes, dono to a turn, with
sweet country butter, and coffee with
real cream, constituted th bill of fare.
It was ample, and I did full justice to it
The evening hours - flew rapidly poet
fen downy wings of friendly converse,
till the old clock in the corner announced
the hour of 11. when the thoughtful
mother mildly suggested that the Majcs?
was doubtless tired and would like to
retire. I disclaimed any thought of
weariness, and indeed I uttered but the
eimple truth in saying that I had not
been so entirely refreshed for weeks. It
is passing strange what power there is
in good-fellowship to restore the wasted
anergies of the body as well as th
Spirit. So we sat another a brief, a
Qelicious hour and then the good
nights were said, and I retired to ale
and dream. The blue-eyed Lilian
formed the web, and horrid battle-scene
the woof of my visions. The beautiful
girl had scarcely uttered a dozen words
during the evening, but she had been a
most eloquent auditor. She had sat al
most directly opposite me, and my eyes
rested upon her face as I addressed oth
er members of the group, and they did
not fail at any time to meet a sympa
thetic response from her heaven-tinted
orbs ; nor was there the least embar
rassment in this, for her countenance
bore such a perfect expression of inno
cent interest as to reveal a- spirit at ono
biodest and pure as an angeL
In my dream a bloody battle was
raging. My ears were filled with tha
boom Of cannon, the crash of small arms,
thfe scream of shell, and the shrieks
and groans of dying men. The scene
Changed. I wandered over the fields of
carnage. The dead were thick about
me. A- groan reached ' my ear, and I
bent my steps in tho direction whence
the sound came. A soldier, in gray uni
form, with a Lieutenant's strap upon his
shoulders, lay upon the ground, with
his head . resting upon the lap of a
woman. I "said, "If I can be of any
service, please command." A pair of
blue eyes were lifted toward my face,
and a voice, sad but musical, said, " Oh I
I am so glai it is you j you are a sur
geon as well as a friend, and my brother
is dangerously wounded." Those eyes,
that voice ; could I be mistaken ? No, it
was Lilian, and the wounded young
officer her brother. What jOy, what
happiness to be able to servo her ; aye,
perhaps savo the life of her brother
the son of my friend.
A rap on my chamber door dispelled
the vision, and the pleasant greeting of
Dr. Jewell restored me to my normal
state. But my dreams remained as
a vivid memory of a startling reality. I
oould not but believe that it was a pre
sentement, and, although I kept it locked
in my heart as a sad, though cherished
secret, I resolved to ask Lilian for a
picture of her brother which she had
shown me the evening before. So, just
as I was on the point of leaving, I said,
"Miss Lilian, I wish you would giv
me a photograph of your brother. It is
possible I may meet him, and if I should
it would prove my passport to his friend
ship." "I will," she replied, "for you
may be of service to him, and I know
you would do him a kindness if you
cotdd." "Most gladly would I, both
for his own sake and. as a reward, ia
part, for the great kindness I hate ex
perienced at tha generous hands of his
family."
The young Lieutenant's handsome'face
bote a striking likeness to that of his
sieter, and for that I prized it and eher
irihed it. I wore it constantly in an
inner pocket of my vest. The stirring
scenes intervening dimmed somewhat
the memories of my vision as time
passed, but 'could not blot it from my
tnind.
The battle of Shiloh had been fought,
and during the whole of it my miad
reverted to the dream. It seemed but a
repetition of a tragedy of .which I had
witnessed the rehearsal. Impelled by
some strange impulse I could not resist,
I wandered out upon the battlefield at
midnight. Every spot seemed familiar.
The dead faces were those that I had
sees ia my drem. A groan aye, the
same irroan I had henrd on that ever-
! memorable ntVi.t oi January, 1863. I
' hurried to ths side: of this poor fellow
j from whose ag-mizl lips is osme. H
I was pron3 !-..: the cu'.d earth, with his
j head fsstiug upo his left arm, while
wiin nis ngni unu uo was striving to
eheck the Sow of Hoed from a gunshot
wound ia his left breast. - :
A glance told me I had found the son
of my friend the brother, of Lilian.
Fortunately; I had with me the means
of stopping the flow of blood ; also a
an teen of water and a flask of brandy
Kd word was spoken until I had done all
thai Could be done at ones, when, with
a faint voic and difficult articulation, h
said : "You hav saved my life, and I
thank you."
" You ow me no thanks, Lieutenant ;

" It this a dream ? How whr eliel

that I have found you, and serve vou.
In aty arms I bor th wounded ef

" At least, in a dream," I added, pla

"Yes, or br nttMnlizht, in the waking
hours. But please don t try to break my
faith ia th reality of that vition of
yours. It hus com true almost to th

" It has," I responded, and I beliv
in it reality as firmly so you can."
I told th story to Oen. M. , and id
softened Ills heart so greatly that when
I asked permiatiion to take my friend tm
his home it was readily granted.
The reader may be safely left to pict
ure to himself the joyful meeting of the
long-absent son with his loving grand
parents, father and sister, and the ex-pr;-iuin
o gmtituda and friendship
showered upon my humble self.
My leave of absence was for thirty
days. I spent a'fortnight'of it with my
Kentucky friends, and when I departed
I carried with me two miniature por
trait. One of them had golden hair,
and eyes of heaven's own blue, and lips
that rivaled the ripening pomegranate,
and cheeks like tha sunny side of a lus
cious reaohi Nor was that all I had t
gladden my bachelor heart. Tho origi
ns! of the picture had said that " when
this cruel war should be over I might
come again, and then she would gladly
go with m to my Northern home as my
wife.'
I have only to add that she is looking
over my shoulder as I write, and trying
to convinca me thai the public (meaning
Cou, dear reador) will laugh at me for
eing so silly as to tell how I was capt
ured, by a robel girl, and at her for be
ing so easily converted from her secesh
sentiments to unwavering loyalty to
the Union.

slowly trickled down the pretty iaue,
plashing on the dainty morning dsess,
which, clinging to th dainty form, re
vealed so perfectly its graceful outlines.
Certainly Niobs had n reason to fcl
ashamed of this an of her children.
But Gerald Sinclair had only stooped to
kiss away th glistening drops, in a half
hurried manner, perhaps t hid his
awakening remorsa.
' Never mind, littl wife I'll sank it
up to you another tim."
Then he was gone ; but sh still sat
turning and turning hr wedding-ring,
with eyes bent upon it. It was a euriou
ring a solid band sat with flv larg
diamonds.
It had ben her bars ; httr talisman,
not to b taken from hr finget until
soul and body had parted; but this
morning it had ' lost it charm. If it
failed to scatter th clouds, it . failed to
bring baek th iunshin.
Evn when tha hour cam around rot
Gerald's home-coming, he missed his
usual warm welcome ; but he thought
that he might trust his wife's heart, and
said nothing. Th next day he started
n his journey.
"You're not going, my dar?" n
elaimed Mrs. Martin, bursting in upon
her friend en the morning f th ball.
"And why not r
"Gerald is away," rplid Mrs. Sia
olair, with sosa little show of wifly
dignity, as though th fact Wr in itself
sufficient explanation
"And why need that mak any differ
ence t" pursued Mrs. Martin, a bwi ton
ing littl widow sons fw years her
friend's senior. ' I will shar my seort'
with yon Count Belonai !"
Bophi Sinclair looked aatased. Sh
knew that th man mentioned had but
lately gained entfew into socisty, and
knw, also, that her husband disliked
and distrusted him.
Ono or twie sh had seen his ey
fixed admiringly upon herself, and had felt
somewhat as th bird might feel beneath
the basilisk glare of the serpent.
" Well, why don't you answer?" on
tinued Mrs. Martin. " Will you go f "
" No, no," sh replied, trying to speak
with firm decision. " Besides I do not
think that Gerald admires the Count.
"Prejudices. Th Count is on of
the noet oharmisg and agreabl men 1
- ' - ' ,1 - ' ' , , , ..... .1 ....... Kl I "
know. Inded, I think I should he
canonized for my willingness to share
h'm attentions, especially as I hav hearel
hfhl say all banner f pTtty thing
about you."
"Nonsenei Ellen P retorted Mas.
Cinclair.
But sh felt the ground slipping k
neath her feet as she spok.
After all, Gerald had not said, posi
tively, no. Had he thought it neces
sary, afte ha had opealy exprcsssd his
disapprobation of bar going f
He had net known that sh would h
sorely tempted. Besides sk would
war a mask. No on would know her,
and when sh told Gerald k would fo
gi hr. A suddn thought cam to
her.
"I will go," ahe said at last, altot tfoav
tinud urging, and, looking at th piot
nr ia all its brightest lights, " on ono
oondition, and that is, no ono is to know
me not vn th Count. Say that yon
hav persuaded a friend to acmpaay

So it was decided ; but, spit of kef it

esalsd it and herself bnath a largo

chimed It, it seemed to Sophie vry
trok said, " Stay t stay 1"
Sh was almost tempted to obey it,
but sh had promised Elian, and after
all sh had heard that it was wall for
young wives to assert themselves.
An hour later, and, on tho Count Bl
aoni's arm, sh . ntred upon th brill
iaat Sn. So far h had not ovn
seemed carious to ascertain hr identity.
Sh xprinod at ihis a siagular min
of relief.
Th hall was at its height as th
clock rang out tho hour of midnight ;
but, for th first tim in her life, light
and gaysry were distasteful. Ahundaod
times sh wished hrslf at hem.
"I will tail Gerald. I hav already
ben punished," sh whisprd to her
self, as sh stood for a mosaant aloa in
a quiet ornrt
"You look me kke a nun than a
fairy rather lika on who kad for

"Ah, you thought I did not know yon.

Bho follwd with hr Syes his down
ward glance, and saw that it rested em

with th xigeaeis of hr eostua.
Involuntarily sh drew it away, with
th ring which had betrayed her.
Daial was useless.
' Since you know mo, then, sh said,
" wa will no further play a part. To oth

"Ah, ssadamc, hcwhisprd, "Ictus

Indignant and alarmed, sh hckd
his further speech hy starting forward
to escape him. His hand Closed on hers
so in a vise She wrenched it from hint,
sprung among a crowd of maskers, and
so made her way to the door
"Call a carriage for me' she di
rected. Ten minutes later she was within has
own house Her first impulse was to
tear off tho hated costume which had
caused her such trouble; her next to
throw hsrself on the bed and sob out ker
excitement and contrition. The ntorn
lag sun, streaming in her room, awoke
her.
With a shudder she remsmbsred th
vents of the past night. Bho looked
down at ker hand th hand which had
been polluted by another's touch as
though in some way she expected to find
th oontentinstion branded on the soft,
white surface. It was all nnaarrd
bat ah looked again she looked away
and baek sh rubbed her ys and
looked tho oelor meanwhile fluttering
out of hor cheeks and hor pal lip quiv
ering, an if her heart seemed to stand
still in a sudden agony of fear, for from
tho third finger wa amiasing th tal
is to anio ring.
When and wher had ah lost it, and
how eould sh now find th courage to con
fess all to GalTf rose and dressed,
devolving and re-rTolring this problem
in hor mind.
At any hour hor husband might re
tarn. For tho first time sh dreaded to
meet him dreaded to look into tho
kindly, handsome cyos, and real there
all his incredulous reproach, nainglcd,
perhaps, with scorn and anger.
The day wor on. Her friend, Mrs.
Martin, ran in to scold her for har deser
tion, but her pale Jaoe and trembling
tones mad good her pica of sadden ill
ness. At nightfall Gerald arrived. She
throw herself ia hi arms, in a burst of
n?rvous weeping ; but, whn h wtondr
ingly asked its cause, hor courage failed
her.
Why was it she never imagined that
he might look stern until to-day t
A week passed; when one evening,
mtting in tho twilight a step sounded
close beside Sh looked up to discover
" Pardon 1
he began, in answer to
ker indignant, utioning lok; "why
must you be so eruelt May I now sec
yonf"
" Sir, I command yu to leav me I
am now under the protection of my own
roof."
He was about to answer, when a latch
key was heard inserted in the ouUidc
door.
' la an instant h had spruag V
plaeo of concealment, but tho fact that
ho was near lent to th young j wife a
sudden courage, born of the moment's
desperation Her husband, entering,
approached her, but she motioned him
back. . I J
" Gerald, ' sh. said, "I hate a bitter
confession to make. It is fitting you
should hear it no," I j
H listened, with arms folded across
his breast, while eh told him! alii th
story of that fated night j
"And this is allf" ho auesfioned,
bitterly, when she had paused.
" No, not all," she continued, rais
ing her voice. . j

As she spoke she drew asid" th fur-
tain, but the form she expected, toj dis-

testing to its flight.
Silently the husband drew

from his pocket and showed her a para

December 14, 1884.
To the Editor or the Coitmhiak
The weather haa Wn somewhat hard
here in the last four days, and the ther
moniter has been steadily filling till
last night, which has caused the peopl in
the Dalle fid environs to wrap them
selves in wll furnished furs alid over
coats ftccording to . their opportunity.
Yesterday morning the passers on the
street and sidewalks seemed to have a
pretty good touch., from the old Lask-
atcbewaal Chief who has. m the last day
held his tyranical jrfJgn over the nioun
tains and adjoining teriitories, making
many II living Wing to shiver in sight
his old fusty tomahawk. The wind has
been from the North, but now this morn
ing at 10 o'clock it slowly changing to
the west. The suow commenced falling
last night by twilight, and has kept
steadily on till the present heui, and is
seemingly so to continue, yet at tho same
time the atmosphere has taken an. iilchr
character. The, old ..proprietor say to
me that thefe trill btf ft splash before long.
Woodckoppers and -weooV haulers, have
had a merry touch of elixir en thei lips,
feeling the burden of tkvir existrnce
lessened, but at the earae tioie house-
keepers and kov.e . masters have to re
gret feeling in their pockets for expen
ditures. Live preparatioas for Christmas seem
to be all over the city. Cards have been
distributed in houses and on sidewalks
abost many arrangements for the fe
ception ef Santa Claux.
Last night tlto Goddard sisters, the
muses, from London arid recently from
the East en route for B. C. had their
enthusiastic eenCeft in the epera house.
It is said tkat the heuse was so thronged
there were two rows on top of another,
and a third yet on their shoulders. Could
anybody have a better reception t
