With this resolution he quickened his step, and sooji beheld the spires and tur rets of the city standing out in relief against the dark sky. The low humming noTse 0f traffic had not yet subsided Wa gons passed here and there; and groups of people congregated about the street corners engnged in conversation, and more than once did they turn and look after him as he passed. The tavern and low gin shops were crowded with noisy debaters, discussing the toptic3 of the day; clamor and uproar were vociferated with decfecing emphases, and by these Austin concluded that he roust walk the streets all night. His present appearance might rouse suspicion and ultimately lead to questions which he was most anxious to avoid. HoweveV, he paused often in his weary rambles, and interrogated the passer by about the hour of the night, and so forth. Cautious, as others in the same unfortunate position, he shrank from observation and counted the slow anxious hours till dawn appeared over the broad waters of the bay. The "Saragossa"had weighed anchor in the roadstead. Hundreds, either for amusement, or to await the arrival of their friends in the small steamer, which carried ammunition from the shore to the ships lying at anchor, paraded the deck. The little " Reauty" pushed off from the landing and steered directly for the outward-bound vessel. The eager faces of the crowd overhead were turned about as the cry " heave to, to port," was vociferated from the lips of the pi lot; and the craft, by a sudden and ab rupt jerk of the wheel, buried its stern in the trough of the wave, and rose from the boiling sprays under the lofty bows on the porj: side. There was a rush upon deck the " Reauty" grappled with the main chains, and swung away. The pas sengers were soon aboard, and a roll of heavy smoke from the stern chase guns annouced that they were already clear of the roads. Austin Cameon stood by the binnacle, cold and wayward, yet a tran quility, or ease of heart, told that he was all well within. His stained clothes sat oddly on his fine fragile form, and con trasted with the elegant feautures and mould of his juvenile face He soon bu eied himself with the other passengers?

A flourish of trumpets, long and pierc in?. brake unon the xuninier morning. olutely fixed under its lofty furl. From the indented ridges the red breath of war flashed dimly down the forest glade, and buried the flying missels in the turf of ; the valley. Dark bursts of heavy smoke 'sailed along the side of the mountain, and formed the i scenery of a geucral burial Jacksou and Hwell pnii.m.indp.l the r ... . " occupica uy uenerai Jauks. it was from information obtained at Washington by the military authorities that General llalleck authorized Pope to summon the forces under Cox's command, then in Western Virginia, while he himself was directed to cross the Rappahonnock, oc cupy Culpepper and threaten Gordons ville. This movement excited theppre hension of the Rebel leaders, as it iodi cated that yieir plans were already known and their schemes for crushing Pope's army, and the reduction of Washington or Uakimore were frustrated sconce. It was afternoon on Saturday, the ninth of August, when the battle commenced. On the day previous, Crawford's brigade had been thrown forward to observe the movements of Jackson, and to oppose his advance. Ranks occupied his position alone. Rickett's division of McDowell's corps was three miles in his rear. The corps of Sigel, which had been marching all night, was allowed to halt at Culpep per, and thus Ranks, with his seven thou sand men, was preparing to give the Re bels battle. The point of contest was a place about four miiessouth of CulpeppcrCoort- House, on the road to Gordousville. The enemy pitched on the side of the mountain, where they were protected by thick for ests. It was a very advantagous position, as it commanded a full view of the ope rations of the Federals below, and ena bled them to fix their batteries so as to direct a destructive and simultaneous fire on every side. They were placed in suc cessive tiers and semi-circular in out line, always bearing down on every por tion of Rank's litlte band. The position of the latter was exposed to the enemy ou every side, having no defence whatever, havinir no natural or artificial barricade. The combat opened with an artillery duel in the afternoon. It was evident that the enemy had immense superiority in the number of their guns. The firing of the Federals was uphill, which tended to the greater accuracy of their aim. In an hour one of the enemy's batteries was silenced. The Federals closed up and advanced. The enemy also left their po sition and attempted to flank their left wing, but was repulsed and defeated by the gallant advance of Geary's brigade. At four o'clock Generals Prince, Green and Geary wer ordered to assault the batteries onthe left. As they approach ed the mountian, the Rebels under Win- der, whom the woods had concealed uutil e i i j .j now. rusneu lorwaru, auu mowed aown the veterans like grain before the reaper; but still they advanced, and in the des perate collision forced the enemy back upon the base of the mountain, and held them firmly. Eight regiments poured down upon the assailants and forced them back. The movement was accomplished quickly, aud in g oJ order c: f..l... I. - I .: Six o'clock came, aud with it a general struggle. Hoisting the stanwiud stripes, a formidable body of" Rebels suddenly emerged from the woods, apparently a reinforcement; and the Federals, de ccived by the impositiou. allowed them to approach till they were near enough to inflict upon them a terrible chastisement. A desperate charge repaid with double interest the cowardly decentiou; and the troops engaged; but night soou darkened over the scene, and nothing but artillery was beard from the fastnesses of the ene- my. The lurid aud anjjry name ol can- in fancy; for mersed itself non burned, all night over the valley, and illuminated with awful display the last scenes of civil warfare. The enemy re ceded up the mountain, and all was still. .Federal forces poured in on Sunday; but on the lollowiug day the enemy evac uated their stronghold and crossed over the Rapidan. Rut to our story. Austin Cameon, breathing his pure delight under the Fed eral Standard, acted a brave part in the repulse of Winder's division. The Seventy-third Pennsylvania Volunteers had more than once changed their frout, and showed the enemy the intrinsic and un compromising nature of a volunteer move ment. The forest charges fell in their retreat, and Austin's first encounter was hand to hand. His countryman fell be neath the stern and sinewy arm of the youth of New Orleans. The onset of the Rebels, under the flag they had'despised, was followed back by our hero's comrades in arms. . Their front was cut away; but onward, in iutrepid anger, they pushed and cut them to pieces. They closed, and, as if a shaft rose from beneath their feet, a loud hurrah rang along with re verberating thunder through the forest, and was answered by a thousand echoes fronj the indented solitudes of the moun tain. They shocked together, and made a terrible union a burial compact, whose embrace bore a sacrifice in its fulfillment, and chartered another deed of blood to the liberty of war. Austin's first engagement for the Uni on, the anticipation whereof, seemed fa tal to his ever again seeing home. He had encountered his kinsmen in the field to frustrate their prosperity and to abol ish their pride of secession over their heaped up graves. Rut the beginning had passed, bringing hundreds of human lives with it, and Destiny assumed the dic tatorship of his eventful career. .From the moment that the first life fell under his arm, a dark ambition nerved his heart to the execution of more . heroic and san guine deeds. lie wa snow in the battle, face to face with the community he had wronged and whose interest betrayed, and no wonder that his bosom beat more violently and his cheek assumed a deep pallor in exchange for the soufern rose, j A retreat sounded. Prince, Greene, l and Geary appeared, aud agaiu in action the Severity thitil pressed onward. Aus- I tin now distinguished himself by taking the command of his own company the officers were killed, wouuded, or missing and at their head he rallied them lor the charge. On, steadily iiioved the vol unteers up the steep ascent, like the j Alpine horde of chamois, and almost breasted the batteries. Up, like the lo- I cust train in their career of destruction, J clambered the .veteran youths, whose i memory shall live iu the storied chroni- ! cles for a thousand generations. Austin i encountered again. A young southerner, I whose ability had raised him to the rank i of Lieutenant Colonel. He appeared to be about Austin's own age, a good sol- ! dier, and an ardent patriot. A long glapce passed between them, and their weapons clashed with fiendish stroke. The mounted soldier suddenly relaxed his sword. Austin pressed upon him, but his antagonist seemed to be only de fending himself. A word was at his lips; but at the moment his sword fell, and smote Austin under his charger's , feet. He fell uttering: " The Union." i The horseman bent low in his saddle, and looked upon his face covered with blood; -when our hero, with the last remaining life leaving him, sprang convulsively to his feet, and dealt him a heavy blow, 1 which hurled him to the ground. He ; sank with a groan upon his pale lips, and the quietness of death 6tole over him. Austin and his cousin Costardo had met af ter a long separation, but it was as invete rate foes, each compelled in his duty toshed the blood of the other. They lay side by sidexm the cold sanguine grasses of the glaut; and their spirits were at peace as they slumbered peacefully amidst the dim, the clash, and the roar of the battle. (7'o be continued in our next.) Keep Your Feet Warm. v Few persons know, or if they do know, appreciate the necessity of keeping the feet warm and dry. Most fevers preva lent in this country during the winter months arc the result of colds, which in niue cases out of ten are produced by damp and could feet. In regard to this important matter we clip the following from an exchange : Many of the colds which people arc t?aid to catch commence at the feet. To keep these extremities warm, therefore, is to effect an insurance against the al most interminable list of disorders which spring out of a "slight cold." First, ne ver be tightly thod Roots or tdioes, when they fit closely, press against the foot, and prevent the lice circulation' of the blood. When, on the contrary, they do not embrace the foot tightly, the blood gets fair play and the spaces left between the leather and the blockings arc tilled with a comfortable supply of warm air. The second rule is never sit in damp shoes. It is often imagined that uules-a they are positively wet, it is not necessary to change them while the feet are at rest. This is a fallacy ; for, when the least dampness is absorbed into the sole, it is attracted further to the foot itself by its own heat, and thus perspiration is daugeriously checked. Any person may prove this by trying the experiment of neglecting the rule, and his feet will become coll and damp after a few momeuts, although,' on taking of the shoo and ex.iminitirj it, it will appear quite dry.- Noble Men. In every age and in every country there have been men who in goodness, unselfishness and generosity have stood up far above their fellows, like the moun tains above valleys. They have demon strated that there are redeeming qualities in our race, that all are not wholly wrap pad up in self, that there arc those whose happiness consists in blessing others. Such was Howard and such is Peabody, that prince of givers, to whom our own land gave birth. There are many liberal givers who seek not fame by there acts, but arc influenced by an inward impulse, not by external force. Freely they have received, freely they give. They are earth's jewels They seek wealth not for its own sake, but for the good it may do, the happiness it may give, the suffering it may relieve, the light. and knowlegc it may diffuse. They live and move on a higher plane than other men, far remov ed above the money loving, selfish and miserly. Unsolicited they give where good can be doDe, affording a most wonderful contrast to rich but penurious and nig gardly men, who clutch their gold with a death grasp. The mean and selfish but rich men are utterly incapable of com- prehending the acts of these great aud j free-giving men, and are even ready to i assigu to them unworthy and selfish mo tives, such a they are influenced by. ''He is rich and able to ive aud it is no liberality in him," say these sordid sojIs. Are they not rich also ? Do they give of their incomes in proportion to him 1 "He makes his money easily." Does be make it more easily than they ? Do they remember that fortuuate aud accidental speculation by which they realized niauy thousands without any toil or auy re markable sagacity of theirs t and how much of it did they give to the needy and sufleriug ? "He has a large income." Have they not also? Do they fiui their hearts and their liberality increasing iu proportion to the increase of their in comes 1 Iu is this the striking contrast be tween them and him. Every addition to their thousands increases their love of money, their indisposition to give to others, it eucascs their hearts, shutting up one avenue alter another, and to quiet the slight murmurings of the little con science they havj left, they seek to as cribe sinister and selfish motives to him who 13 in all worthy respects their oppo site. They would bring hiiu down to their low level, mortified and chagriued by the striking contrast between iiim and themselves. To palliate and excuse their excessive and contemptible meanness they would strip of all excellence hfm who is the glory of our race. Counter feits themselves, they seek to prove there is no genuine. Thus seek to shield them selves against all possible chances of be ing moved by any of the calls of-thc needy and suffering. From them the charitable institutions of the day, the poor at home and the degraded aboard, can expect nothing, unless wrung from them, or un less they can ecc how they can receive a good return or their names for once be blazoned abroad. The motives they at tribute to others are theirs, they are mir rored forth in their words. The selGsh and ungenerous will soon die and their names cease among men ; the noble, un selfish, free-giving will, without seeking it, forever five in the hearts of all good men and in the monumental institutions they hare reared. Pittsburgh Gazette. About a month ago a stranger stepped into the First National Rauk of Iowa City with a bag of what purported to be gold dust worth fourteen thousand dollars, re presenting that he had. just come from Montana, and had more gold than he wan ted. With the most incredible gullibili ty, the cashier snapped up the gold, and without even applying the usual chemical tests, gave him ten thousand dollars in gold and a certificate of deposite for four thousand dollars for the dust. The met al was sent to the mint in Philadelphia, and has just been returned with the in teresting information that it is a composi tion of platina and copper, with a very small amount of pure gold. Of course the speculative "miner has left. - A Story With a Moral A Connecticut exchange tells the fol lowing story of a boy, who was sent from Groton, Connecticut, to New London one day last summer with a bag of jrreen corn. The boy was gone all day and re turned with the bag unopened, which he dumped on the floor, saying: 'There's your corn ; go and sell it; I can't." "Sold any?" "No; I've been nil over London with it, and nobody said anything concerning green corn. Two or three fellows asked me what I had in my bag, and I tol l them it was none of their business what it wa I" The boy is not unlike hundreds of mer chants, who will propuiptly call him a fool for not telling what lie had to ft-11 They are actually doing the ?ae thing on a much larger scale than did the boy not advertising their business.

The Result of a Hasty Marriage-An Old. ' Woman Trades her Daughter for a' Pair of Spectacles. The Lewistown True Democrat tells the following story, which should be read by young people particularly young girls: Improbable as it may seem to come, the statemeut we are about to make is absolutely true! The incident occur red iu Juniata county only a few week ago. A rather goodlooking stranger cam into the neighborhood peddling specta cles. Arriving at the house of Mr. (Smith we shall call him, for short) he exhibited his stock to the old lady. She tried several, and finally one suited her exactly, but she had "no money to buy with." Peddler pressed her to buy. She reiterated the fact that she had no money, but jokingly remarked : " I'll trade- oner of my daughters for a pair of spectacles." Upou this the oldest of two girls spoke up : "You needn't trade, mother, for I won't have him." Thereupon the ped dler turned to the younger and said : "Well, will you have me V The answer was promptly "yes I" Accordingly the spetacles were handed over, and arrange ments at once made for the wedding. That night the happy pair (who had never seen each other before that day) were: united in the holy boads of matrimony by Esquire L. A short honeymoon of three days passed pleasantly enough, the peddler going out ou a trading expedi tion each morning and returning faith fully in the eveniug. All seemed delight ed, the old folks as well as the young, the new-made husband being exceedingly amiable aud apparently a perfect gentle man. One or two nights he absented himself, but made sat i factory explanation ot the eircuuistauces, ail besides- made .additional amends by presenting his mCe with a sum of money sufficient to buy a new dress and a pair ot shoes, both which she very much needed. Another night the family roof covered tiie gay spectacles? man, but that was the last, lie took his departure next moruing as usual, but fail ed to return at eve, and (to make a long story short, has never been seen by the iuterete-J parties s-incc. Who h& is or where he came from, are alike my steries, and as for the name he went by whilst making his interesting sojourn iu Lost Creek Valley, that was probably as sumed for the occasion, aud will hardly help to discover whither he has gonev How to Breathe. There is one ruie to be observed Ta taking exercise by walking the very best form in which it can be taken by the young and able-bodied of all ages and that is, never to allow the action of respiration to be carried on through the month. The nasal passages are -clearly the medium through which respiration was, by our Creator, designed to be car- ried on. ''God breathed into man's no strils the breath of life " previous to his beccomg a living creature. The differ ence in the exhaustion of strength by & long walk with the month firmly closed, aud respiration cmied on through the no strils instead of through the month, is in conceivable to those who have never tried the experiment. Indeed, this mischie vous and really unnatural habit of carry ing on the work of irspifation and ex piration through the mouth, instead of through the nasal passages, is the true origin cf all the diseases of the throat and lungs, as bronchitis, rongestion, asthma and evtu consumption itself. The ex cessive" perspiration to which some indi viduals are so liable in their sleep, which is so weakening to the body, ij solely the effect of such persons sleeping with their months unclosed. And the same unpleas ant and exhaustive results aries to the animal system from walking with the month open, instead of, when not engaged in conversation, preserving the lips in a a state of firm but quiet compression. As the heat aud velocicty of the blood through the luugs depeud aluost entirely upon the quantity of the atmospheric air inhaled with each inspiration, and it is unavoidable that it should be taken in ia a volume by the mouth, whils it can on ly be supplied in moderate quantities, and just in sufficient pioportion to eerva the purpose of a healthy respiratory ac tion, while supplied through the Dostails, it is clear that the body must be much lighter and cooler, and the breathing much freer and easier, wheu the latter course rather than the former is the one adopted. Children ouht ought ncvy: to be allow ed to stand or walk with tiieir month open, for besides the vacant appearance it gives to the countenance, it is the cer taiu precursor of coughs, colds, and sore throats.
