[The circumstances which induced the writing of the

young lady in New York was in the habit of writing for
a Philadelphia paper on the subject of Temperance. iler
writing was so full of pathos, and evinced such deep emo

maniac on the subject of Temperance, whereupon she

Thu uncertain mists were thickening as the approach of

Surged they onward 'gains; the giant rocks like the
sea's tumultuous waves.
"Forward! Forward!" Cleary shouted, as their dancing
colors flouted
The chilly breeze that 'mong the mountain shadows
played;
Borne upon the wings of

They sped onward, and with wild charge the hliss'lppl.

Then came a scene of wildest battle—the dread musketry's
rattle,—
And the bayonet found its sheath in the carcass of the

Over bastions, breastwork's, fled they—from the carnival

THE ANGEL OF THE DEPOT ;
OR,
What Came of a Kiss
The great depot was crowded. The
—th regiment was about to leave for
the seat of war,-and it was known that
the brave fellows were going whore
fighting was sure to come. The cars
bad backed into the building, and the
engine was shrieking impatiently.
The regiment had filed into the depot,
and as the soldiers rested a few mo
ments upon their arms, fond friends
gathered around, and the words of
parting were spoken. There wore
tears and sobs, and blessings; there
were wringing.of hands and wringing
of hearts! Wives were parting with
hUsbands; mothers were parting with
their sons; sisters were bidding good
bye to brothers; and fathers were
speaking the last words of caution and
care. It was a season of painful-anx
iety; for the departing sons were go=
ing with their lives in their bands, and
the offerinn , on the battle altar might
spoedily be , made:'
Corporal
.
Corporal Walter EVerinead :!Catted"
upon his rifle, and gazed upon the
scene. No one came to kiss: him—
none to bid him farewell. Not Over
ono and twenty was Corporal Walter
Evermond. He had a fresh, hand
some face, and bright, pure eye; and
his frame was one of those marvels
wherein a magnificent physical struct
ure is developed with a small body.
declare,' said the Corporal, wi
ping a' bit of moisture from his eye,
am glad that -I have nobody hero to
weep and sob for me. Yet, he added,
with a longing look, 'it would be plea
sant to boar away ono parting kiss ?
But I shan't get it.'
I'll kiss you, if you'll let me'
Walter Evermond, felt a hand upon
his arm; and the prettiest, sweetest
face he had ever seen beamed upon
him with a smile.
'l.ll kiss you, sir And the girl
placed both hands upon his shoulders,
and pressed her lips upon his bloom/l
ing cheek.
'Thank you! Bless you !' •
'Fall in ! Fall in
The Corporal pressed the hand of
the beautiful girl, gave one more look
into her beaming eyes, and then fell
into line; and ere long the cars rolled
out from the depot bearing the volun
teers toward the field Where patriot
duty called them.
In a little while the train was out
of sight around the curve, and the
throng of friends gradually dispersed
'Nellie, astonished at you r
'Astonished at me r repeated Nel
lie Preston, looking into the face of
John Gainsford, who was walking by
her side.
'Yes. How could you do such a
thing ?'
'Such a thing as what ?'
'As kiss that fellow in the_ depot
Goodness gracious! What were you
thinking of ?'
was thinking,' replied Nellie, with
a perceptible flush of feeling, 'that he
might be a poor, motherless, sisterless
boy, who had no one in the world to
love him.'
'And so you thought you'd love him
eL ?'
'I love all those brave, noble mon
who have gone out to offer up their
lives for their country's welfare I: said
the girl with deep emotion. never
knew how well I loved my own broth
er till I saw him go away to-day. I
hope God will keeillim, and return
him to us in safety.'
'Did you notice, said Mr. Gainsford,
after a pause, 'that your foolish beha
vior caused considerable remark !'
'l'd rather you wouldn't say any
thing more about that, Mr. Gainsford.
'You aro ashamed of it, eh ?'
'I am ashamed of you, sir ! You
need not help me. I can , get into My
carriage alone!
-PERSEVERE.-
Two days after this, Judge Preston
came home looking • very thoughtful.
After tea he called Nellie to him, and
asked her if she had made up her mind
to bo the wife of Gainsford.
have made up my mind that .L
will not be his wife!' Was the prompt
reply. ,
have no wish to : uygo you my
child.'
'I do not Ithro 'him, father; and I
should prefer to have no more intima
cy with him. I never liked him. Ho
is unkind to his poor sister, and ho
might ho unkind to me.'
`You are right, my 'daughter; and I
am now free to confesS that I am plea
sed with your decision. Almost the
last thing your brother said to me, be
fore ho left with his company was,
that he hoped you would not make
John Gainsford his brother-in-law. He
knows Gainsford has no ro•
spoct for him:
The Judge kissed his child, and the
matter was settled. Gainsford was
the son of ono of his oldest, friends, and
thus the intimacy commenced ; and
he had been willing, for his daughter's
sake, to try the young man, but he
felt a sense of relief now that the tri
al was over.
George Preston, the Judge's only
son, had gone as Captain of a compa
ny; and the family watched anxiously
for the news that was to bear them
intelligence of the Movements of the
—tb regiment. By and by intelli
gence came. The regiment was at
Poolesvillo. The regiment was at
Ball'S Bluff! The regiment had been
under fire the , whole of that , terrible
day; and a fearful havoc had been
made in its ranks. Where was George?
0, how anxious was Nellio'=- Preston
.now ! More than ever before did she
know that sho loved her brother.
, 11a!' Good news 1,._ . C-leorge is safe.'
The Judge came home with an even
ing paper, and handect.' it to Nellie,
pointing with his, finger to the 'para
graph sho was to read:-- She read as
follows : .

river:. He had made :hie way
the Nag and was assisting 'Stoma of:
his wounded comradea,;When the en
emy came pouring down. upon him.
Ho was surrounded,And would have
been slain, but for the heroic bravery
and devotion of a Sergeant of his com
pany. The Sergeant, whose name
was Walter Evermoud, seeing the
Captain in danger, sprang to his side,
and with his revolver, shot down three
men who were pressing upon hiM.
When they gained the water, Captain
Preston had received a wound in the
shoulder, which rendered it impossi
ble for him to swim; but Evermond
did not forsake him. The noble fel
low clung to his captain like a brother
and succeeded in getting him safely
over the river: We aro happy to
state that Captain Preston's wound
is not dangerous.'
'Oh ! Heaven bless that mible Ser
pant I' ejaculated Nellie, as she fin.
ished rcliding the, account. Ahd her
father joined her with his whole soul.
Later in the evening a curious tho't
worked its way into Nellie Preston's
mind. She wished the man who had
saved her brother's life so bravely had
been only a corporal ! And then she
wondered where that fair faced, bright
eyed soldier was whom she had kissed
at the depot. It would be a satisfac
tion to know how he fared. She ho
ped he was safe.
Ere long a letter came from George
in which he gave a thrilling account
of the battle. He spoke of Sergeant
Walter Ev,ermond as he would have
spoken of a brother. 'Ho saved my
life, at the risk, of his own,' he wrote,
'and but for him you would have no
son living to write this; and Nellie
would have no brother.' There was a
postscript to the letter as follows :
'P. S.—Walter Evermond has just
received the commission of a Second
I ieutenan t.' •
The winter wore away, and George
in his letters to his sister, frequently
spoke of Walter Evora - ond as a very
dear friend. At length came a letter
With the following passage :
'My dear father and sister give me
joy. -lam a Major, and my commis
sion dates from the day of Ball's Bluff.
My dear friend Evormond is Captain
of my old company; and a better sol
dier does• not live, and I know there
cannot be a truer friend.'
Once more the Judge and his daugh
ter wero anxious. The —;-th regiment
was before Yorktown. Then dame
the bloody field of Williamsburg; but
Georgo was not called into that bat
tle., At length, however, came ti
dings of another bloody :day, in which
the regiment was engaged. FAIR

tain Evermond is coming with me.
Our wounds are doing well'
The train arrived at three o'clock in
the afternoon. Major Preston came
from the car upon his crutches, and
his father vas there to receive him.
Nellie had not come down. Big, proud
tears poured down the old
,man's face
as ho hoard the glad shouts. that wel
comed his noble boy; and. for a tide
his.son was monopolized by the, mul
titude. •
'Where is your friend Evermond ?'
asked the Judge, as they .moved
tow
ard the carriage.
9; he will be with us this evening.
Ho had to stop and see a friend on the
way, and wiltoomo on the next train.
I told him our carriage sbotdd bo on
hand for him.' .
A joyful moment was it for Nellie.
Preston when she threw her : arms ar
_ound the neck of her returned broth
er. 0, she now knew how much—
how very much she loved him. What
numberless questions were asked, and
'hoW,eagerly were the answers

She hope he is "net old
rand:ugly,l'or I want to-love him.'
''Not'Very old,' said George, with a
Strap, and not very ugly.' , - :But there
is a- curious circumstance 'connected
with his experience as a soldier, which
is worth relating. He told the story
to me with tears in his oyes. After
the affair at Ball's BluffWe were like
brothers. Evermond is an orphan;
without father or niother, brother or
Sister. He has a splendid education,
which he.owes to an old aunt, who in
tended him for it minister; but his dis
position did not lead him that Way,
and ho started to study law: His
aunt withdrew her favor, and_ he was
left to struggle alone. :He was in
danger of becoming dissipated, when
the thought struck bins that he Would
enlist as a private in the' company of
Which i was captain. While wo were
waiting at the depot, on the morning
when we left for the seat of war, Er
emend stood alone gilzing on the
scone of weeping andblessing; and as
the thought passed through his mind
that he was relieved from the pain of
parting with friends, he felt it would
be a blessing to bear away ono friend
ly kiss that he could remember as
coming from a sister. He said this
aloud, and in a moment a young girl—
he says the most beautiful, girl he ev
er saw—put her hands upon his shoul
ders and kissed him on the cheek. Ho
says he had just time to bless the an
gel, when the order came to fall in.
think the girl that gave Walter Ever
mond that kiss did a glorious deed.
He assures me that it made hini all
that he is. He says that the memory
of that sweet face has led Lim to high
and noble resolves; and that he had
sworn within himself that he would
never do a deed that could cause that
girl to blush that she had kissed him
even were she the daughter of a king.
'You said he Was a private then ?'
remarked Nellie.
'No, ho was corporal then. ..1-1.0 was
made a corporal soon after he enlisted
and - before he had been in camp a week
in Maryland ho was made a sergeant.
But what is the matter? iicy!—
youou look pale l'
'0 !' whispered Nellie, hiding her
face with her hands, 'what dretidful
things
'My-1. thought this story, of 7,ver
mond would attract your thoughts
from the darker' themes' .
'So it does,. in a measure, George;
but I cannot help my feelings.'
George Presten, never , mistrusting,
never dreaming that his ilitVeet sister
had ever seen Walter vertriond; drew
his arm around her and gave her a
brother's kiss.
At eight o'clock in the evening the
coach wac pont to the depot, and at
TERMS, $1,50 a year fix adirance.
half past eight it returned. Xellio
left tho parlor, and sped away, to her
own bedroom! Her heart was in a
flutter, and her face 'was burning.:
might be possible that she had .nover
seen Captain Evermond; but sfii3 did
not think it. probable. What should
she' do'? How' should she meet him ?
Twice had she attempted to tell her
brother of her ow adventureat the
.
depot upon that memorable ihorning,
but she could not.'
Major Preston, upon his -cratchee;
won't to the doer and welcomed ' Cap
lain .Evermond, who carried, his right
arm in a sling. The old Judge wel
comed the hero as another. son,' and
he was surprised when he found that
the Captain was a fair
,'faced, hand
some youth., just upon the opening
stage of manhood.
But whore was Nellie ? The • bell
was rung, and a servant was sent in
quest of her. At last she came, trem
bling at' every joint; but her father
and mother did'not notice it. •
`No my'sister,' cried George, 'lmre
is our dear friend Walter Evormond.'
The captain advanced with a quick
step, and had half extended his hand,
when ho stopped as though had
been shot. , .
•
'Good angels 1' he. gasped; 'what is
this ? This your sister
With a mighty effort Nellie smiled,
and put, forth.both her hands. .
'Alas - roxelahned Georgo, lifting his,
crutches from the floor, and stamping
them doWn'.with wonderful energy,, 'I ,
think I see it now. Say, Walter, tell
me—tell me—tell me—is this your
angel?" .
'Ten thousand blessings on ber head"
murmured the brave youth,..while the
tears started.to his cheek. 'I did not
dream of this.' Then he dashed the
tears awaY, and oxtended his hand.
'Lady,' he said, 'you will excuse my
loft hand I krio*.'
'Goodness morey exclaimed
the old man, who began to See thro'
it; 'is this tho soldier you kissed in
tho depot, Nellie ?'
Again the poor girl came 'vary near
losing herself, but she made one more
aruTro, and was successful. -
'Yes, sir,' she eaid, 'Captain Eve
mond and I have met once before.' - •
It was.a primp poeitroaf9i .both
the Captain and the maiden.
