TALKS & SKHTKSfiS Matty Esmaine's Raffle, " 'lt's for the benefit of the sick soldiers, you know !' Matty Ksmaine was sitting on a low cricket in the very middle of the room, surrounded by a perfect maelstrom of rib bon, and velvet, and winking steel heads and glimmering gold braid, a little Fairy Disorder, whose wand was u diminutive thimble, and whose magic ring was mark ed by rainbow scraps of silk and tangled mass of embroidenf floss ! She, smal and : rosy, with liquid brown eyes, and cheeks ; tinted with the pinky pearl of the trailing arbutus you sometimes find hidden under the rustling layers of old leaves in sceot : ed spring woods.—And her auburn hair— j well it was looped up with cherry colored j ribbon into what ladies call a 4 waterfall,' ; and very pretty it looked in its chestnut shadows that changed to ripples ol gold at j every motion of the head. Kilen Ksmaine, the sober, elder sister— who sat in the window seat, threading ! sprays of coral on the silver wires—was al j together d : fferent; not a hit pretty, but ve ry fresh and lovable; and the demure way in which she watched Matty's elfish move ments as a grown up cat might tolerate a | little kitten's freaky, was a sight to see ! I Aud Montague Rayner, sitting 4 anchor' in j a clear space in the sea of trippery, was j occupied in holding a skein ot violet silk ; for the younger Miss Ksmaine to wind O! j course he was dreadfully clumsy about it, perpetually dropping the ends, and catch ' ing his great thumbs in meshes, and com I mitting every faux pas that could be j dreamed of in connection with a skein of j violet silk; but then he enjoyed it so in ; tensely that Matty hadn't the heart to de pose him from his position as swifts, pro j tem 4 For the sick soldiers, eh ?' said Mr. Rayner. 4 And am't the well soldiers to derive any emoluments fherefrom V 4 Ot course not: they don't need it.' 4 Don't they ?' 1 tell you what, Miss Mattv—if you could be on picket-duty a | night or two, or carry a knapsack up and i down the muddy Fairfax bills ten or twelve j hours on a forced march, you might possi bly alter your opinion on the subject of well soldiers being the most fortunate : creatures in existence. Hallo ! what's the ! matter!' Matty had given a small deprecating j shriek as Montague snapped the strands of the violet silk in his enthusiasm. 'Nothing,' said Miss Ksmaine, dryly ta i king the skein from him. Venus ! what a | sensation ran through him as the soft rosy : lingers touched his brown paws. 4 Only i i prefer two chairs to finish this silk.' j 'lndeed, Miss Matty, I'm very sorry,' | said Montague penitently. 'Just let me I try Tmce more; I'll promise to keep my hands as still as mice. I know I'm a cluui sy blockhead ; but—' But Matty was inexorable, and the abash : ed delender of his country withdrew his batteries and opened fire in a new spot. 'Suppose the girls aud women are mak J ing heaps of gini cracks for this fair, eh ?' I 'To be sure they are,' says Matty, her eves sparkling. Such a lot of money as we shall make. There are to be seven dif ferent raffles, only think ! Mrs. Vere I gives a piano to be raffled for; and Kate Windham contributes a cashmere shawl, a I love ola real India ; and Major Hall has | given us a silver dressing case ; and, oh dear !' sighed Matty, stopping the very act of sewing spots of gold foil upon the blue velvet wings of a gorgeous butterfly that was to be put down in the catalouge a ' Pen wiper. No 18'— 4 if I could only give them something better worth having than these ridiculous little gewgaws !' 4 Well, then, why don't you ?' said Ray ner, twisting his moustache argumentative 'y- -4 \\ hy don't I V flashed Matty ; 4 what have Ito give ? If I had a piano I'd sac ritice it in a minute. If I owned a sew ing machine I d send it down to be raffled for to morrow ' 'lndeed ?' said private Rayner, arching his eyebrows satirically, 4 I'm surprised at ; the extent of Miss Ksmaine's patriotism. While we soldiers only contribute the vi tal stream of our hearts blood, or it may be, a (eg or an arm to the shrine of our country's need, Miss Mattie Ksmaine is willing to give up her piano if she had one.' And he lightly hummed the lines : I'd like to aid the soldiers If I could as well as not, And I'm willing everybody else Should give them all they've got. Matty's cheeks had crimsoued with an angry glow. 4 Montague ! how can you t< ase me so ?' 4 Am I teasing you ? Really I was not r ware of it.' 4 To tsunt me with papa's slender means, when you know I would give anything in the world to aid the noble fellows who have fallen maimed on our battle fields, or to make any sacrifice that lay within my power!' 4 Then you really feel anxious to raise money for this lund ?' 4 1 cant tell you how anxious!' said Matty Ksmaine, with passionate earnest ness. 4 1 have wished a thousand times I were a man to shoulder the rifle my own WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1864. self; but I am only a poor little woman that can but toil and pray lor the gieat work in the quiet of her own home ' ' I can give you an idea,' said the young man, watching htr with half a smile on her lips 'Did you know that you poa sessed a treasure worth a dozen pianos !' ' Now you are teasing iue again,' said Matty with a quivering lip. 4 No I am not. 11 you will contribute it to be raffled for—as you ladies say in reference to your genteel lotteries—l be lieve I may safely promsie that you will sell firry tickets at ten dollars a ticket 1' 'bitty! repeated Matty, counting on her fingers with girlish delight; 'at ten dollars! Why that would be five hun dred dollars !' 4 Of course it would.' 4 What on earth do you mean, Montague Rayner ? said Ellen Ksmaine, suspending her silver wire in mid air. ' Jus exactly what I say.' Matty dropped her work, while cheek and eye lighted up in bright unison. The next moment her countenance fell. 4 Montague you ought not to play on my credulity in this absurd sort of way.' 4 Shall I tell yon what the treasure is?' 4 Yes.' lie leaned over and whispered a word or two in her ear. She blushed rosier than :he ribbon that tied up the ' watertall,' aud then burst into a merry musical laugh 4 I don t care,' she said defiantly. '1 to iff' 4 Really and truly ?' 4 Yes, really and truly. Why not V '1 hen said Mr. Mou agi e Rayner, draw ing a ten dollar bill from his pocket, put. me down as a ticket holder number one Miss Ksmaine deposited the bit of pa per in a little wire cage that she called her purse, and made a business-like uiemoran of the transaction on her tablets. ' \ ery well, sir,' she said quietiy. ' And now I depend on you tor the other forty nine subscribers.' 4 But 1 should like to take a few more tickets myself,' said Montague rather sheep ishly. 'No, sir !' said Miss Ksmaine, with an emphatic stamp of her little kid foot on the floor. 'No one shall purchase more than one share! f!o now I dismiss you to agency duties.' Montague was rather unwilling to take his departure on this unceremonious ticket of leave, but Matty was to be melted neith er by supplicatii*iis nor sulks, and hp went Went muttering to himself as' he light ed his cigar on the street corner. ' \\ hat a little, loving, fiery, tender, pas sionate creature she is! Well, if 1 can't marry Matty Ksmaine I'll ram my head into the first wide mouthed cannon Jefl Da vis is considerate euot-gh to plant in in\ way. And then it's like slu- won tare! Heigh-ho ! I'd give my first chance ior a pair of shoulder straps to get a peep into Matty Ksmaine s heart! 1 wonder wlieth er Eve aggravated Adam alter this fash ion !' Most probably she did, Private Rayner We have no reason to suppose that human nature has been materially changed by the current event ol six thousand years. 'Why yes—yes. saiu Mr Josiali Car berry, vigorously rubbing tiie gold eye glasses that assisted his lading vision, and giving his wig a sly jerk ; 'l've no objec tion to contributing my humble mite to so deserving a cause. I wish there weren't so many bothering women tolks at the helm though, Montague, my hoy. Of all things a managing woman is my abhor rence—l doo t like to come in contact with 'em il I can help it. And lam consistent too, Monty—ha, ha, ha ! i)o you know who darns my stockings and foils my coffee, eh ? Why, Black Tom—and he's worth forty housekeepers with their petticoats and palavering ! Ain't that carrying out one's principles, hey ? However. I've no objection to go through this Fair with you if you'll engage to stick by me aud keep all the old maids and widows awav.' And Mr. Carberry walked solemnly un der the canopy ot stars and stripes that draped the entrance to the brilliant lighted rooms now thronged with gay guests attract ed thither by mingled motives of fashion, curiosity and patriotism, arm in arm with Montague Rayner. ' Mont, my boy,' he whispered, aghast, ' there s a woman looking very hard at me. Do you suppose she means anything ? I wish I had staid away—it isn't—' ' something, Sir. 9 ' said a charming siren, in blue silk and swans down, from behind a table glittering wi h crystalized sugar aud colored confectionery. Mr. Car berry shrank close to Montague's side. ' Look here, Mont he ejaculated ner vously, ' you ve got me into this scrape, and you must get me out of it. Tell that fe male I don't want anything !' ' Rut you II buy something to help the cause along! laughed his companion. 'Any thing—every thing! Only Mon tague you tell me how to invest, and do be quick about it! Somehow I cannot breathe Ireely when there's so many women around!' 'Then suppose you buy a ticket for Miss Esmaine's raffle. Come, I'm on the man aging committee, and there's just one left.' 'What is it for? A harpsicord that I csn't play on, or ajuggering bonnet 1 can't wear?' 'Nonsense, Carberry,' returned Rayner with great equanimity; -its somewhat he yond money and beyond price—a womb -r luUiystery Invest, and you'll not regret it lake share No. 50, old teilow—come!' He had inscribed Carberry on the lis', and handed it to Ellen Ksmaine before the astonished old bachelor could take the bank bill from his portmoiujie. 'Aejic, you ve done it,' was his despairing comment, as he looked „iter his friend's vanished form. 'Mind now I'm not re sponsible; if it's a dog 1 won't have it, and it it is a piano or a wax doll I'll shy it out 1 of the window.' 'Just as you please, Carberry,' said Ray ner, absently watching the busy swarm of people that eddied round Ellen Esmaine's table. 'J he old bachelor gave him a sud den nudge. 'Mont! Mont!' he whispered iu evident trepidation, 'let's go away from here; that j woman with the pink cap ribbons has look ! ed at me twice, and 1 can't imagine what her intentions are. She's coining this way j Mont; do make haste!' 'They are begioning to turn the wheel!' ! suddenly exclaimed Montague,wlu> had paid | no manner of attention to his friend's spas modic whispers. 'This way, quick! Good | Heavens! if my mad freak should make I her miserable for life!' '.Make who? What wheel? Who the deuce are you talking about?' ejaculated Carberry. But Rayner dragged him through the crowd, crinoline and all, to the spot where all his interests were centered —the slowly revolving wheel that was a destiny to him 2 Ihe gas lights seemed to whirl in mad circles around his head; the various excla illations of the surrounding crowd blended into one stream of vague uncertain sound ! the five minutes were like five ages to him ! 1 here was a moment ot breathless silence and then tbe lucky name and number were pronounced. 'Carberry—Josiah Carberry—Share No SU, has drawn the prize,' said the epecta cied secretary. 'Walk iu, Sir, and take possession ' '1 1 don't want to—some other time ! I'll call again to-morrow,' stuttered the confused recipient of fortune's favors, but all in vain; he was poshed forwatd to the anteroom, expostulating all the way. 'Mind now ! he gasped as he was precipi tated through the doorway, 'if it is a dog or a parrot I'll—' And the clanging hinges shut in the remainder of his speech If was a tiny room, with one chandelier pouring white tides of lijght down on a fair young girl, who stood laughing and color ing in the middle of the apartment —Mattie Ksmaine's dimpled, pretty self 'Miss Ksmaine!' faltered the blushing bachelor, looking r. und to see if there was any crack in t- i fh> r wide enough to van i-h through and hacking confusedly toward :ie door. •' t-s, Mr t'arberry,' sa d Maftie demure !y; catch a woman bating one jot '•! her advantages when she knows'em '7' i rhe prize, won't you take me!' "•i'd sooner take—poison!' enunciated Josiah, breaking into a coid perspiration. 'But you must', said Mies Muttie deci dedly. 'Don't, Miss Esmainc.' groaned Josiah, 'l'm a poor, unprotected fellow, and you oughtn't to be so unmerciful! llallo here ! let me out.' 'Not yet,' said Montague, edging him sell into the room greatly to Miss Matty's contusion 'You've drawn the prize Mr. Carberry, and you're legally bound to take possession of it.' Josiah stared at him with distended eyes, and pale quivering lips. 'Unless,' went on the ruthless private, 'you can get some friend considerate enough to take the responsibility off your hands, and—' 'L ok here, Mont,' exclaimed Josiah, seizing Ilayner by the button hole; 'you're not the fellow to desert an old iriend in such a strait as this. It was all your fault that I subscribed, and—and—Come now, you take her. That's a good fellow. Do.' '\ou legally transfer the prize to me?' 'Yes; anything—only let me get out of this confounded place, and if ever I go near a Ladies' Fair again I wish I may be hanged or married, I dont care which.' And Josiah darted from the room in a species of semi desperation. Private Kay ner turned quietly to Miss Esmaine: 'A truce to these absurd jests ! O. Mat ty if you knew what I have suffered during the last hour! 'Do you sanction the transfer, Matty?' pleaded the young soldier. 'Oh, my dear est. tell me, have I won you for life? Don't trifle with me. Tell me now and forever, have you courage to be a soldier's wife?' One momentshe looked on him with saucy defiance in her eye and smiled, the next she burst into a shower of jewel bright tears. 'Oh, Montague, it is a wild, wayward heart, not worth your love—not worth a tithe of your noble affection, but it is all, all yours.' And tbis was the auspicious termination of Matty Esmaine's riffle. A week subsequently the young lady sent off a check for five hundred dollars to the hospitals, and a seven sheet long epis tle to a certain young soldier who had joined his regimeut at Chattanooga, in sEnKHMisj ip^s-ar,, | which was the following gauntlet of defi mee 'Don't suppose I'm going to waste any fini.rati ..i; on }our patriotism, sir, if you ore ' > he m_ lord and master some day. No, indeed Didn't I give myself tor my coun try s benefit, I'd like to know? And have not I given something dearer yet —my love? Ob. Montague, it Heaven sends you safely back to me, I shall never be unhappy again.' For Matty Esmaine's heart was full of the vague, happy feartulness that broods above the heart of every woman whose dear ones are standing on the battle heights of the Union.— Uurpcr's Weekly.

IMEEMMfiOIiX The Army of Fugitives. The following very graphic ;i n<l touch ing letter, from Mr. N. II Mann to Her Dr. Eliot, is published in the Louis Democrat, and is dated the 7th of March. An appeal to the charitable accompanies its excellent description of the hungry host ol the black Urea! which followed the re turn of Sherman to Yieksburg: The return ot Sherman's expedition had been anticipated by us all as sure to bring along a crowd o( blacks, but no one 1 think had formed any idea of the utter destitu tion, the squalid misery in which they would come. Ail the way from Meridian this black river flowed iu the wake of the army, increased by constant accessions until sul len and slow it wound its way into Vicks burg with 4,500 souls. Following through a country twice ravaged by a devouring host, they had literally nothing lel't tljetu lor subsistence but the remains left by our troops Foraging parties scoured thecoun try on either hand to obtain supplies for the soldiers, hut no one brought these people food, and houses and barns pil laged and burnt left nothing for them save what the hungry soldier eouid spare Many touching incidents connected with this exodus have been related to me, but I have room for only one or two, and wili hasten to relate what has come undei tny eye. Col. , acting brigadier on this exped.tion, states that while the heaps of railroad ties were burning in the streets of Meridian, an old man was noticed warming himself by the fire, and now and then laughing hilariously to himself. A Major stepping up to hiui said: 'Uncle, what ure jou laughing at?' 'Oh ! massa, Fsc been a slave all my life —these sixty seven years. I worii for my massa and be his nigger. To night l'se a free man ; yah ! yah ! yah ! Two or three days Yankees go away, and I be slave a gain; but two or three days l'se been a free man, any how; yah ! yah ! yah !'

Before giving the details of the dispatch, it may be stated that tliis was the unfor tunate ship which put back eariy last year from Cape Morn to England inconsequence of the captain seeing, as he alleged, a vis sion on the oceau which warned him not to proceed any further on the voyage, and that in the event of his persisting, both be and the ship would be seat to perdition.

Toe vessei s return 'o Cardiff, after a lapse ot nearly t-ix months, in a good seaworthy condition, naturally astonished the owners, more especially when they heard the curi ous story which had operated upon the Captain's mind in putting the ship hack when she had so nearly reached her desti nation. A liuard of J rude Inquiry was instituted into the Captain's conduct The crew were examined, and they tip* ke ot him as being a very sober, careful mast er, although somewhat eccentric in his manner, and when they had found that he hud put the ship hack without any reason for so doing, the chief mate remonstrated with him and endeavored to take charge, which the Captain resisted by placing him in irons, 'llie Captain WHS exam ined. and he solemnly declared that af ter what had appeared to him he could not go on ; it was the vision of the Lord, and he was bid not to go on The result of the inquiry w is that his certificate was can celled A new master was appointed to the ship, and she sailed on a second voy age.

To profit, as it is in our power at once to do, by our situa tion, we must dismiss dreams of the pnst and accept accomplished facts as they are, and as they are evermore certain to remain. In the nature of tilings, if we will only act. as become sensible people, the great ness we have momentarily had eclipsed will be ours again, and secured to us by a more binding and lasting tenure than ever before. It must be based on u devotion to the Cnion, on a love of liberty to all men, and on a spirit of justice and humanity. The losses, if any. incurred by this change in our labor system by the truly loyal citizen, will doubtless be properly returned to him iu due season by a generous Gov ernment Freedom and the Union, as the only means of ensuring prosperity and perma nent peace, are the safe pledges of Governor Hahn's message. —Make it a habit to keep clean. 1 hat was an inquiring young mind that the schoolmaster where all the figures went to when they were rubbed out. —it is a fact creditable to barn yard na ture, that., while curses come home to 1 roust, roosters never come home to curse. —W hen a married man pays more at tention to liis wife's cousin than to his wife, h is a certain sign that the cousiu's visit has been long enough.
