TALES AND SKETCHES.
tVHV 1 U.H AWAY.
Ponaltl I.c.111 and myself were good
friends at fourteen years of nrc, nml wc
both regarded with little more than friend
ship, pretty Helen Graham, "our oldest girl
at school." We romped ami danced tngi tit
er, and this lasted for such a length of time
that it is with feelings of bewilderment that
1 look back upon the mystery of two lovcr-t
continuiii'i friends, lint the time was to
coino w hen ji alousy lit her spark in tny
bosom, nnd blew it into a consuming
flame.
Well do I remember that how and when
the 'green-eye" peipetrut .-d this incendiary
deed. It was on a cold October evening,
when Helen, Donald and myself were re
turning wilh our parents from n neighbor
ing hamlet. As wo approached a ford
where the witter ran somewhat higher than
unkle deep, we prepared to carry Helen
across as we were accustomed to, with hand
interwoven "chair fashion," nnd thus car
ried a pretty passenger over the brook.
Just as we were in the tiiiddlenf the wafer
which was cold enough to have frozen
anything like feeling out of buys Ics hardy
than onr-elves a fuitt pang of jealousy
nipped mv heart. Why it wn I know not,
for we had carried Helen across the brook
ere now without emotion, but this evening
I thought nr fancied that Helen cave Don
ald an undue preference by castin her arm
around his tu eU, w hile he steadied herself
on tny side by holding the cuff of my jacket.
Xo Ihmie can burn so (jnick or wilh so
little fuel as jealousy. Before we had reach
ed the c.ppoaite bunk I wished Donald nt
the "boitnm of the sea." Iking naturally
impetuous, ! burst out wilh :
"You need nrt baud sue gingerly, Helen,
as if ye feared a fa. I can :iy.! curry e
lighter than Donald can carry half of ye."
Surprised nt ihe vehemence of my tone,
our queen interposed w ith an admission that
wc were both strong, and that -he had no
idea of sparing my power. Hut Donald's
tiro was kindled, nnd he utterly denied that
I w as at all qualified to compete w ilh linn
in feats of moral courage. On such topics
boys are generally emulous, ami by the time
( reached the opposite bauk it was set tied
that the point should be determined by
our singly bearing Jklen across the ford in
our arms.
llclcn w as to determine who carried her
most easily, and I settled with myself pri
vately in advance that the one w ho obtained
tho preference Wiiuld really be, the person
w-lio slooil highest in her ulfeclions. The re
faction stimulated me to exert every effort,
and I verily believe to this day that I could
have curried Donald and Helen 011 either
arm like feathers. But I inuat not antici
pate. We suffered tho rest of tho party to pass
quietly along, and then returned to Helen.
With tho utmost care I carried her like an
infant to the middle of the water. Jealousy
had inspired a warmer love, and it was with
feelings unknown before, that I embraced
her beautiful form, and felt tho pressure of
her cheek against mine. AH went swim
mingly, or rather wadiniily, for a minute.
But ulas ! in the very deepest part of the
ford I trod 011 a treacherous bit of wood
w hich rested, I eeipposc, on a smooth stone.
Over 1 rolled, bearing Helen wiihnie, nor
did we rise, till l'ai.ly souked front lieu I to
foot.
I need not describe the taunts of Donald,
or the accusing silence of Helen. Both be
lievud ttiut I had fallen from mere weukness
aud my nvai demonstrated his superior
ability, bearing her in his arms a lonj; dis
tance ou our homeward path. As we ap
proached the, housf, Helen, feeling dry and
better hnmorod, attempted t' reconcile, me.
But 1 preserved a moody silence. I was
luorliiled beyond redress.
That nlht I packed tip a few things and
run aw iv. My hoyUh mind, n u-itive ami
irritated, 1 xuggcruud the negation which It
had rtecivc.l, nnd prompted uietii belter re
stills that geiieiiilly attend audi irregulnil

She was from tho country, had been edu
cated, her parents hixl lost their property,
uml was now governess of a family of the
city.
i was fascinated with her conversation,
and was) continually reminded by her grace
and refinement of manner that bIir whs ca
pable of moving with distinguished success
in a far higher tphrre than that which for
tune seemed to have allotted her. I was na
turally not talkative, nor prone to confi
dence ; but tltero was that in this young
lady which inspired both, and I convcrtu'd
with her ns I had never conversed wilh
any. Her qucFtions of tho various countries
w ith which I was familiar iadiuatod a re
markblo knowledge of literature, and an in
credible store of information.
We progressed in intimacy, nnd os onr
conversation turned upon tho" causes which
induced so many to leave their native '.anil,
1 laughingly remarked that I owed my own
travels to falling with a pretty girl into a
ford.
1 had hardly spoken these words ere tho
blood mounted to her face, anil was succeed
ed by a remarkable paleness. I attributed
it to the heat ol the room, laughed, and, ut

. An officer in the? 10th Missouri cavalry,
w ho accompanied Sherman's late expedition
sends to the Missouri Republican a largo
butch of letters found nt Meridian and Kos
ciusko, Mississippi. The letters are all in
tho original form, nnd are certainly genuine.
The first relates to tho des pondency of the
people, nnd is ns follows :
HnooKHAVr.x, Miss., January 10. 18C4.
Deaii HuoTHKit Hkshy : I have been ow
ing you a letter aomc time,' but have neg
lected to write. Mr. Kohbins got home
yesterdy. I went lip to sec him last night.
1I: gave sncn a glowing account of things
tit Mobile that it gave me Ihe blue, and I
have felt very badly nil day. He says all
the Yankees have to do is to attack Mobile,
nnd they will get it; that we have no forli
fiealions there worth anything, and 1 mil
very much afraid that you w ill bo all order
ed there. ,1 cannot bear to think of you be
ing a prisoner.
t do not feel much like going to parties
while our country is in such a dreadful situ
ation, and so much distress all through the
country. In fuct, I believe I have almost
despaired of ever again living ns we did be
fore the wnr. I am almost ready to give tip
everything ns lost, but I trust U may not be
so.
1 linnllr ever see a paper, and do not
know what.is going on. l'a received a let
ter from brother last week. He is doiim;
! tinelv, nnd thinks if old Ann frets the mil-
lion men that lie lias called lor, Hint be will
not be able to whip us then ; but while
there is one that thinks that, there are hun-'
dreds that think we are already whipped,
I Irust the war will soon end, although I sec
110 signs of it now. Write soon, and may
trod bless pou. Your affectionate sister,
I.tzzij-: A. IIokkins.
The next letter wo take up is from W. C.
! Leonard to his sister Marthr. He tells her
' he "don't intend to go iu nury fight," for
J it appears that he was one of the Vicksbnrg
' prisoners, and it "iss dougpted abought
their being exchanged." He don't beeleave
j that enny of the vixburg boys will tight to
do nnv L'ood."
third letter Is from W. W. Wntkins to
his sister, and i- dated near Hesaca, Ga.,
December 8th, lf03. It is remarkable only
for its reference to the scarcity of food, ou
which point he says "We fare badly iu
the way if rations. We don't get much to
eat,excrpt corn meal; we get beef once iu
a while, but not regular. I wish tiiey
would move tie to some other point, where
we would be better fed. T hope the war
will chwc soon, so w e all can come home."
A soldier w rites to his M ile from "Camp
near Jackson, Vebruary 4th, 1SU4," in regard
to the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, in this
inglorious strain: "The citizens mid sol
diers are in great confusion here. I have
teen a great many soldiers who say that they
are going home soon. I think that this war
will soon end, unless the soldiery should
become more satisfied. I do not know what
may be brought about to reconcile them.
I thiuk the thing is nearlv wound tiv."
