One is called the "ring" which means a combination of rogues for some one pur pose ; and the other is called the "lob by," and designates agents living here, And employed by rings and individuals to pus& their evil schemes through Con gress w * was turning this over in my mind the other day, while I sat on a sofa in the liouse of Representagves and listen ed to the winds that blow to and fro about rne, when I happened to cast my eyes into the ladies' gallery above, and out of the gloom saw a Memory come, in the shape of a fair face I was so disturbed and haunted by my memory, that I left my seat and saun tered into the gallery and seated myself near my fair !Heed, and without rudely starting I found my memory gradually Lathering up the disjointed fragments of the past, unit the fair face wag 'framed in and located. It was a very sweet face, not so young as it once was • but with a prevailing expression of child like innocence Add to this a manner of great refinement, set oft and adorned in The extreme or the fashion, but sub d the best taste, and the most ar tistic (miring -if colors, and we have our old acquaintance before us Although I looked my fair friend In the face, 1 saw that either she had furgUtten me, or was not disposed to renew the ac quaintance She was talking in a quiet. easy manner, to a well known member of Congress, and I considerately with drew, as if I had been looking in the face of an utter stranger, instead of oue well known to me in times gone by. An hour after I happened to be upon the Senate Chamber, where the multitude of marble steps seemed to run out and flow dawn, when my fair friend Cattle out, accompanied by her Congressional escort, late of the gallery, and almost brushing me with her dress as she passed the two descended. I saw a neat pri vate carriage, drawn by a handsome pair of bays, and driven by a coachman in livery, roll up My friend of the law making power helped the lady in with a bow, the door swung to with a bang, and the fair lady drove away, while the Solon came up the steps, humming st tune to himself and snapping his law making Angers, as if especially' 'pleased with himself. Having a speaking ac9uaiii- Lance, I begged perdon for my curiosity, and asked Solou the nate of his friend "Mrs. —, of New York," was the quiet response. The whole of the surroundings were so entirely different, and apparently so byte-long and respectable from those that I believed formerly hedged in the lady, that I was in doubt But, no, the lon ger I thought upon the matter the more I felt satisfied of the identity. And the remembrance was singular. While de tained in Washington, during the war, awaiting orders, I was invited by a brother officer to a wine supper. The people giving the entertainment were strangers, but, taking toy friend's Word for it that I would be weloome I went with him. The house 'was a plain, um. pretending affair, but offered a display of upholstery rather uncommon about Washington, and I learned that the house and furniture toelonged to a "so -00ah" family, that haa hastily left the city before the battle of Bull Run, put ting their property in the hands of y friends. The friends auembled on thie ocession were questionable. The par lors were in a Waite of light, and under the glass globes about the glass jets were some very pretty women, and a number of young mina In and out of uniform.— The bare necks and arms of the women indieated a party; but ,my friend told me that this sort of thing weneon every night. We bad a rich repast, garnish ed with choice wines and the lively Bow of talk the last named generally brings out. I was particularly struck with two of the gneets—one a slender youth, with dark, large eyes, and bread, thoughtful forehead, whom hook for an Italian pr Frenchman; the other a beaUtiful wo man, of twenty, in fact, but much younger in apparent». I found this young lady exceedingly charming, as ehe was not only loving In person, but lively in mind. We broke up at a We hour of the night or rather an early hour in the morning, and being ordered away a few nights after the wino supper, and the merry people there assembled soon Fussed from my..mind, in the hurried, eventfbil life of the camp. They were destined to return. Could the future have been anticipated, death wcorld have 'Or, at our board.that night, Ord phan- PM visions of dreadful events dimm ed the glittering lights, and settled in horrible gloom on thX:countenauces of the abSClTlbled guests. To one Death would have said: "I will claim yttu at Obanceltorville." To another: "I will come to your re lief in the liespital at Cumberland." To another,: "We will meet at night, and I vitt save you from the gallows." Of that little assembly in that sup per-rocim, two only survive, and another. It was shortly after the welsh:Wien that a friend sent me the photograph of Wilkes Booth, and I recognized in It the young man I had mistap.,,that night for a foreigner. _ When.we were in command at Balti more, And after Col. Fisk got his diffi culty with Baker, so that I had, for a time, immediate control of the Provost Marlibel's office, I received a card, at the White House, from a lady waiting to see me in the public parlor. On repair ing to that reception room I found my fair friend of the wine supper in Wash ington. So far as her beauty went she remained the same, but her wardrobe evidenced straitened circumstances, if not poverty. She gave me a long ac- Count of her trotlbles, and wound up by offering to go to Richmond, In the em ploy of the Government and return with all the information she could gather up, for the use of the War Department in Washington. I at once engaged her, but did not send so suspicious an agent Into the enemy's country, until after I had given her a fair trial in Baltimore. She proved the most adroit, self-possess ed, cunning detective I ever saw or read of She afterward made two successful trips to Richmond, returning with valu able information; although Mr. Stanton had no piestioil but that she carried to the confederates as much as she brought away —.R.l:ehrwie I left the army, and saw and heard no more of my pretty little detective uhtil the day I saw her in the ladies' gallery so elegantly gotten up and surrounded. Thetis, if It were really the same. MI doubt on this subject was removed the next day by a note I received invi ting me to an interview of the fair wo man's lodgings. I found her framed in by elegant upholstery, and yet more fas cinating in the delicate morning robe that so 'dohs a beautiful woman by the concealed etim tto reveal A tall, square built, iron-gray man, of an intensely respectable look, was introduced as her husband, and so long as he was present no allusion whatever was made to the past, other than the few words of intro duction as an old and valued friend Soon as be left; however, she turned and said : "How kind of you not to recognize me 3e4terday. My poor beet was in my mouth when I saw ymi approach. But you have such a tact—you haVe such a kind heart. I was relieved in a minute when I saw that you stared as if only attracted by my charms." -Why, woulan't your husband put up with the part you arc, I suppose, concealing from him ? “My husband"—and she gave a silve ry little laugh—"my husband, that fel low I Why, he isn't my husband.

It is trtad be asked mi.pie very start ling questio4 occasionally such as this for instance: "Are you going to court sister Emily ?" but such things must be expected under such circumstances. Miss Emily, thinking no doubt, that to be a good hostess, she must keep her guest engaged in conversation, asked me "hoer I liked the country life," eta. She said that "It must be a beautiful sight to see the laborers, bath male and female, romping on the new-mown hay of Newyearis day ; that she always did think fiat she would like to goad a Cl=l4lll'6 in the seentry a sat past- Sag with the village lads ; that it always had been a mysterNe Arl`r how they got the eggs off the trees without breaking them, etc. In return I thought to keep up my part of the conversation, it was necessary for me to quote poetry and the like„ which I did. Among Wm. quotations, I un fortunately repeated the Well-known lines of Shattspeare : "There Is a divinity that aimpen our end, Rough hew them solve will' At this juncture, the boy, who had perched himself upon my kimes, looked up very eArnestly into my face and said: "Divinity shaped the end of your nose mighty curious."

This revelation struck terror into me and 611191111M0 the cheeks of my fair companion. It came to be ,very apparent to inc that I must be very guarded in what 1. said, lest said boy might slip in his re marks at uncalled for places. In feet I turned all conversation to him told him he ought to go home with me, and seeovhat nice chickens we had in the country. Unluckily I mentioned a yoke of calves that my little brothers owned. The word calves ruined all.

He at last came to the conclusion. that the camel must have been blind in one eye. On going round to the corner of the plot he found it had there been unloaded Noticing where the animal had kneeled while his load was removed, ho saw on one side a lot of "maggus," large flies, and on the other a lot of smaller ones, "pasha." After thinking for some time what could be the cause of these two sort of flies accumulating, he concluded th one side of the load had been meat an the other side sugar. Seeing near the spot the imprints of a woman's shoes, and also seeing the, marks of her hands, ho concluded that slui had been a stoat woman, mid had put her hands on the ground to assist her In rising. With this he moved on. Preitunly he was overtaken by a man , who inquired if he had seen p camel Saadi asked : "Had It only oae eye?" The man answered : "By the beard of tlscprophet you are right." "And was it loaded with part meat and part-sugar ?" "As I am your sacrifice . you are right." "And had it a stout women with it ?" "By the holy Kebla, it had." "Well," said Saadi, "I have seen nothing of your camel." • At which the felluw got into a clarion and beat Saadi with a stick,' asked him how It was possible to describe the cam el and its appUrtenance• so correctly If ho-had not seen it. Ever after this, Sheik Saadi advised lila friends not to wvaricate, as they might get thrashed for their pains. It is also 'a standard saying, used in, the follovflng manner: If a person wishes smother to keep a se cret, he asks him,.. "Have you seen my camel?" If the person intends to say nothing about what be knows, he an swers, "I hare not even seen its foot, print." —A gontleirnu" ' An Bt.
