TALES AND SKETCHES.
V1CTO MY.
"Another great Union victory!" said
Frank, exultingly, as ho enme into tho sitting-room
one vmfnig, after his return from
the village post-ofSee, and took a vacant
chair among the group gathered about the
Ceutcr-tablti. '
"Glorious 1" cried a chortis.of voices.
"A aplended achievmncnt. Let nie xcad
you th imrticulars,". Frank continued, with
iinimntion, drowiuf a copy of tho Paper
from hi pocket, and leading off with a
briliinntly headed article, wherein the ad
vante;,'f gained in one) of tliobe "most gal
lant and during exploits of the wnr," of
which tic have bad o many, were duly set
forth.
It was a fine, spirited sketch of the lmttlo
of Chattanooga, and we listened with breath
less attention, following the rapid move
ments of our gallant troops as they advanc
ed to storm tho enemy's strong entrench
ments, hearing the imagination tho fierce
rattle of musketry far up the slopes of Mount
Lookout iu General Hooker's famous "bnttlo
above tho clouds," our work fulling from
our hands, over hearts standing still as we
watched the brave men charging madly up
tbe dangerous heights of Mission Riclgc,
their cheers mingling with the roar of rebel
guns, the shrieking of rebel shells, and the
sharp death-click from, tho rebel pits a
wild, stirring, turbuleut scene ; but the key
note of the whole was '"victory! victory!"
and every face shone with triumph, every
voice cried jubilantly, "Well done!" when
tho recital was ended.
All but one. Cousin Mabel, her fingers
busily employed in the fashioning of some
hospital garment, had listened with paling
face to the thrilling uccount. her head droop
ing lower and lower, until ut last it rested
on her hands, which, still holding their un
finished work, had fallen nervelessly upon
the table beside her.
Frank, looking up from his paper with
bla.ing eyes, eagerly searching the faces of
his listeners for token of sympathy and ap
preciation, quickly uoticed her attitude and
silence, nud u-isching forth his hund laid
it lightly upon her bowed head, saying gay
ly "What! not a single word of praise or
thanksgiving fur tliii glorious success of
our.trnops, dear Mabel I"
tihe lifted hor awcut, earnest face, wet
with tears, looking like a pure white lily,
dashed with summer rain.
"As I love the Union cause and hope
for its ultimate triumph, 1 do rejoice in this
signal auccesss of our arms," she said fervent
''. "IJut your attitude just now was one of
deep dejection, I thought, and there are
tetrs upon jour cheek, Mabel."
"They come of mingled pity and thank
fulness, I think," she answered, wiping them
away, and resuming her work.
"Of pity J" Frank asked vaguely, as if he
scarcely understood her meaning.
"What sorrow, anguish, and suffering
thrills in that oue word victory. How
many wretched, aching hearts, that have
contributed their earthly all to this triumph
cry t ut to-night against the nation's ex
ultation and rejoicing 1" she said tretuuloua-
'Ah ! true. Ood help them ! But no
permanent good was ever nttuined, you
know, without some present los-s aud mo
mentary suffering. Let the afflicted gather
courage and strength from this thought,
and guess at the inliiiity of their entcrnal
blessings by the multiplicity of their tem
poral ills."
"It is easy to say such words very easy
for us who sit here untouched by loss and
unscathed by the murderous tirp whose burn
ing breath swept hundreds of miles from
Chattanooga, aud vhoc blasting influence
it felt in many a Northern home. Truly, if
we could keep our eyes fixed always on
eterual issues, sorrow could uot touch us
more than it docs the . immortals. But we
have hearty of fieth, that fail with fear
and smart with anguish a we walk the
fiery furnace, nnd the siililiinest reason
ing cannot in ok us quite forgtt our
pains."
"If ou make such onimctits on a victory
gained at a comparatively stnull cost, what
shall be -taid for the defeats which have
unreasonably occurred to our armies from
time to time sines the beginning of this
contest ?"
"The true soul recognizes no defeat to
our cause founded in justice and right. Im
mediate results may not always be such as
are anticipated and desired, but ultimate
victory must reward the courageous cham
pion of truth
"Still," returned Frank, "there is some
thing wonderfully depressing to tho spirits
wbeu to use your words 'immediate re
sults' prove not 'such as are anticipated and
desired.' The good soldier, who iu the hour
of peril strains every nerve iu his faithlul
performance of duty, feels somehow wrong
ed and defiaudcd of bis rights if the day h
not won. I confess to a thrill of pain, and
regret even now, when I think thut my good
right arm was lost in that unhappy action
before Fredericksburg thut its lust service
did not perceptibly benefit the causo I o
dearly loved. 1 Iwiicve we all fell the same,
we maimed and wretched fellows who were
gathered out of that awful wreck of humau
life. We lay in heavy swaths, where the
guns of the rebels bad cut us down iu the
earlier part of the action, hearing all around
us the mad eou fusion of buttle, but unablu
to tell who were the winners in the combat,
as friend and foe rushod over us, oue and
another prxtrte sufferer lilted Ids dying
bead, and called faintly 'Comrades, how
goes the da V and sank away into eternity,
uwer knowing which way tho tide of battle
turned. Oikars, and I among them, loat for
a time tbo sense of bodily augui.h aud men
tal ausicty in blessed unconsciousness, and
it wa not till days after la the crowded
hoepital that w 'learned the disastrous ri"

lac to li wall, and groaned hvauly whru

and w bad no patience with our paius, no
strength er fortitude tu hear th.m, fueling

the storm of battle, to throw yourself tear
lessly into the heart of danger to plunge
recklessly into tho thickest of tho fray,
shouting defiance in tho very teeth of death
to meet the shock of tho adversary with n
thrill of pleasure and exultation to feel in
yourself the might of a conquering host
to see the opposing columns steadily giving
wny before your resolute and determined
strokes tn bear along tho Union lines tho

suer hot upon their cheeks conqueror und
conquered rushing madly on over the man
gled bodies of tho slain for no one ever
pauses to think of the dead and dying in
the frenzied excitement of the battle-hour.
Do you remember," he added, after a pause,
in which none of his soft-hearted listeners
responded to his llattle raptures. "do you
remember the picture Massey draws of the

Like fiendish feet and laughter hurrying down th.

As though the Eternal' Ark were crashing on th

our Throne.
On, on they eame with a face of flam, aod storm of

Up, up like Heaven scalers, and w. hurled them

"If I am not mistaken," Mabel said "your
poet gives another and a sadder picture in ,
the closing lines of "Inkernian." Head them
Helen."
"We gathered ronnd the tent-fire in the evening cold
and gray,
And thought of those who rank'd with us in battle 'r

Our comrades of the morn who came no more from

clay,
Seme with a smile a life had stopped to music proud-
ThehouXldgodsofmany. heart .11 dark and j
And hard, hot eyes grew rip. fur tears, and hearts
sauk down toprny."
"Ah," Frank said with a sigh, "that is
after the fire of euthusinsm burns out, and
dispossessed of the spirit of vengeance we
stand bleak aud desolate enough against the
hard, cruel realities of war, tecling to the ,
core the vanity of earthly great uess, the k this aidn of tbe Kupidan. The belief was
littleness of human glory. Many a sad after- I general that Lee would not venture an of
battle scene your fancy has painted, no j tensive movement. A report prevailed to
doubt, but noue, I thiuk, whoso sombre co- i day at the front that Lee was removing bis
loring could quite equal tlic actual, lo the
full I have realized the suffering that comes
of this bloody strife, as, laying back tie
dead body of some beloved comrade whoso
last moments it had been my office to soothe,
I have turned to the sorrowful task of break
ing the intelligence of his death and of trans- !
muting his farewell messages to tne waiting
friends at home, conscious of the terrible
blow I was dealing, yet knowing not how
to console them, saving simply to call to
their remembrance the gooduess of God and
the righteousness of the cause in which their
dear one perished."
"liut our enemies have neither the justice
of their cause to urge in consolation of their
afflicted," observed dear mother, laying
down her ni'ttino nnj removal!! her snecta-
cles to wipe awuy the mist of tears that hud j
garnered un their pousueu sunuee.
"Ah, no !" responded Mabel "wretched,
misguided ones God pity them I"
"God curso them the traitors'." cried
Frunk, hotly, his face darkeniug with pas

Harry Hartly my Harry and yours."
"Oh, Fruiik !" murmured Lily aud Helen
faintly.
Mulel's cheeks were white as the muslin
in which her bright, shilling needle had sud
tleuly paused at mention of that name. I
do not think it had been spokeu in her pre
sence for two years before that night. She
was one who could uever bear to hear her
dead name. Frank, hot-headed but true
hearted Frank, though loving his cousin
dearly, hud forgotten uer extreme sensitive
ties in his momentary excitement. Away
back in the first autumn of thu wnr Mabel
tasted the bitterness of a cup which has
t-iuco been pressed to more lips than you or
I can number. We had rumors but no de
tailed account of the battle of Ball's Bluff,
when a dispatch from Frank announced
Harry as one of the victims of that horrible
massacre (one can hardly call it by a milder
uumc). Mabel was laughing and jcsling
gay Icy when the message was placed in her
hands. She opened it with n smile upou
her lins. no susuicinn of the truth seeming
to enter her mind. I shall never forget the.
awful look that settled on her face as sho
read nnd re-read tho fatal words. Startled
by her rigid, deathly appearance, we sprang
forwards, crying "Mabel, what is it, dear I
What ails you, MaW Care 1"
"She threw her hand up to her forehead,
and struggled to her feet.
"Wake me," she said, iu a strange, sscrcd
volte. "For the love of God, wake me
from this horrible dream," aud fell senseless
in our arms.
Mother picked up the paper which flut
tered from her clasp, and so we learned the
truth.
Dear Mabel ! I do not '.ove to give my

WAetiiNFTOX, April 20.
The latest intelligence from the front to
day left everything quiet there. A heavy
reconnoissance into the valley developed the
fact that no considerable body of rebels are
heavy artillery to liiclimoml.
The reported advance of the enemy to
ward Warrentou was caused by the tailing
back of Gen. Gregg's Division to Three
Mile station for military purpose. There
is no foundation for the current rumor that
Longstreet's force is iu Thoroughfare Gap.
Fitzhugh Lee's division was reviewed to
day by Gen. Stuart at Hampton's Crossing,
just below Fredericksburg. Wickhum's, Lo
mar's and W. II. F. Lee's brigades were iu
line.
Deserters are ngain coming into our lines.
At one point the average number during a
week past has been eight per day, princi
pally from the Forty-second and Fiftieth
Virginia regiments.
A number ot army correspondents, avai
ling themselves of the liiatvt in military
affairs to recuperate in Washington, were
much disgusted yesterday ut finding an or
der had been issued barring their return to
the Army of tho Potomac.
Sarah Reynolds, n middle-aged wrruai,
arrived at Brandy Station on the 22d, ha
ving walked from Fredericksburg, which
place she left on Monday 18th. She says
that the city contains but few inhabitants,
and that there are no troops in that neigh
liorhood. She came by the wav of Gre
Church und did not encounter any rebel
pickets. She says that the remaining resi
dents 0f the city and Falmouth look for the
return of our army to thnt neighborhood at
an early day as an end devoutly to bt
wished for as a means by which to avoid
starvation.
In order to relieve the Treasury from as
much unnecessary expenditure as possible,
the time ol service for the hundred thou
sand men offered by the Governor of North
west was changed from six mouths to oue
hundred day. To-day Senator Wilson re
ported a bill from the military committee
appropriating twenty-five millions of dollars
to pay them. The bill requires that they
must be mustered iu by regimeuts before any
pay cau be allowed. The matter is before
the Finanee'Committee, and will be probably
reported to the Senate to morrow-
A special dispatch to the Ilemld, dated
Harper's Ferry, Af ril 2.5, says a very splen
did engagement took place between a de
tachment of the First New York cavalry and
a body of rebels at Newtown, near Stras
burg. We lot one officer and quite a
number of men. The reU-l force is reported
to have been between three hundred aud
four hundred strong.

The Port Royal JVeie South publishes tho
following letter, dated Morris Island, April
io:
"On the lath instant tho Reliels fired
few shells from Fort Sumter. The 13th was
the anniversary day on which the Rebels
captured tho fort, by bombarding it from
unnmingv rotnt ana several otner places
iSot one of their shells did a particle ot
damage. Our men immediately opened from
Fort Gregg, and in n very short space of
time the enemy was completely silenced.
"The fact that the enemy has guns in
Fort Sumter is not doubted, but wc are confi
dent ho will-never be able to mako any
practicable use of them.
"The 30 pounder Parrott gun which did
1 . - 1 ... : i.i , if ,
9I1UU auiuiiuuie eaeeuiion in sueuiDg vuaies-
ton, and which exploded on the forty-six
hundred and fifteenth round, has been repla
ced by a gun equally as affective. Shells
are now tossed into the city at points the
Rebels supposed we would not be able to
reach. The inhabitants who supposed them
selves comparatively safe in the middle of
the city, have been compelled to take an
other journey towurds the northern limits.
"For the past few days the tides have
been unprecedentedly high, so that the banks
along the beach have been leveled for a dis
tance of several yards inland. At Fort
Wngner, near the sally-port, two torpedoes
were washed out of the sand by the water.
One of the toipedoes contained powder in
a dry state; the powder in the other was
moist and unexplosivc.
"Several bodies have also been exhumed
by the tide near tho lort. In one place
seventeen, and in another eight, bodies were
exposed to view. They were rcinterred
further inland.
"Deserters and contrabands come in every
little while from Chaaleston and viciuity.
The intelligence they bring confirms that
which we already know concerning the
force and positiou of the enemy's troops.
Ef.achkuako is traveling continually be
tween Charleston and Savannah, and mani
fests considerable uneasiuess at our supposed
intention to strike a blow in the neighbor
hood of one or the other place.
"There is nothing new to report of the
licet."
Keep your Eve on tour Neioiibors.
Tuko care of them. Do not let them stir
without watching. They may do something
wrong, if you do. To be sure you never
knew them to do anything very bad, but it
may be on your account they have not.
Perhaps if it had not been for your kind
care, they might have disgraced themselves
und families a long time ago. Therefore do
not relax any effort to keep them where
they ought to be; never mind your owu
business, that will take care of itself. There
is a man passing along he is looking over
the fence be suspicious of him ; perhaps
he contemplates stealing something, some
of these dark nights; there is no knowing
what queer fancies he may Rave got into his
head. If you find any symptoms of any one
passing out of the path of duty, tell every
one else you cun see, nnd be particular to
see a great many. It is a good way to cir
culate such thiugs though it mny not bene
fit yourself or any oue else particularly. Do
keep something going silence is a dreadful
thing, though it.is said there was silence in
Heaven for the space of half an hour, do
not let any such thing occur on earth ; it
would be too much like Heaven for the in
habitants of this mundane sphere. If biter
i all your watchful cure, you see nothing out
j of the way tn any one, you may be sure it is
not oeenusu uiuy usiu not uuuu uiiyiiiiug
bud ; perhaps, in an unguarded moment,
you have lost sight of them throw out
hints thut they are no better than they
should be that you should not wonder if
people found out .what they were after a
while, then they may not carry their heads
so high. Keep it. a going, and some one
will take the hint nnd begin to help you
after a while then there will be music, aud
evervthing will work to a charm.
I Personal. Mrs. Doulglas, widow of the
i late Stephen A. Douglas has written a Ict
j ter to a friend in New York, iu which she
denies, in the most explicit and emphatic
i manner, the reports which have been going
I thu rounds of the newspapers thnt she is em
' ployed as a clerk in oue of the departments
; at Washington. She complains, naturally
enough, of the annoyance w hich circulation
I of this unfounded statement occasions her.
It probubly had its origin in the mistake of

i personal appearance as he supposed himself
to oe, ana uas ucen inouguiieasiy cupicu uy

j AGRICULTURAL
j The Const Grub. The corn crop has
I several enemies to contend with, and among
I them is the grub, which sometime laterally
j destroys whole fields, or damage the crop
seriously. One ot tue I est ana most conve
nient remedio perhaps tho very best ever
suggeited is the application of salt as soon
as the plant make ii appearuuee above
ground, prepared and uea iu tiiis way ;
Take one part common salt aud three parts
plaster or gypsum, and apply alout a ta
(leapoonfuli arouud each bill. It will be
fouud to I a sure protection, The mixture
should not come iu contact with the young
plants, as it may destroy them. This meth
od has been tried over and over agaiu by
some of the beat farmer of Pennsylvania,
Delaware and New Jersey, and when prop
erly applied, has never failed to be perlectly
suceeaaful. W hope our farmer who have
rs'ason to fear th dopredation of lit grub,
th present season, will try this ml lure,

Tho following receipts formakintr various
kinds of gruels, furuished by Mrs. Mattio M.
Jones, will interest many young housewives
and nurses who may be called to car for
the sick,
Whuat-Mkat. Gituut,. Mix two table
fpoonfulls of wheat-meal smoothly with a
gin of cold water; boil about fifteen miuutes,
taking off whatever scum forms on the top.
A little sugar may be added if desired.
I.nuian-Mkal Gnt'EL. Stir gradually in.
to a quart of boiling water two tablespoon
fuls of Indian meal; boil it slowly twenty
minutes. This is often prepared for the
sick, under the namo of "water gruel" In
the current cook books, salt, sugar and nut
meg are generally added. Nothing of the
sort should be used, except sugar.
Oatmeal Gruki.. Mix a tablesiwonful
of oatmeal with a little cold water; pour oa
the mixture a quart of boiling water, stir
ring it well; let it settle two or three min
utes; then pour it into the pan carefully,
leaving the coarser part of the tncul at the
bottom of the vessel; set it ou tho fir and
stir if till it boils; then let it boil about five
minutes, and skim.
Carina Gruel. Mix two tablesDoonfula
of farina in a gi!l of water; pour very grad
ually uu iuu uiiiiure u ijuarv oi uomng water,
stirring thoroughly, and boil ten minutes.
Tapioca Gruei.. Wash a tablcsnoonfu'.I
of tapioca, and soak it in a pint and n half
of water twenty minutes; then boil gently,
stirring frequently, till the tapioca is suffici
ently cooked, and sweeten.
fcAOO Uri el. W ash two tablesnooonfulla
of sago, and soak it a few minutes in half n
pint of cold water; then boil a pint and a
nalfot water, ana while boil in sr. stir in the
farina; boil slowly till well done, and sweeten
with sugar or molasses.
Ucriiant Ukckl. Add two tablcsDoon-
fulls of currants to a quart of wheat-meal or
oat-meal ground, and after boiling a few
minutes, add a little sugar.
groat urucl. ateep clean groats in wa
ter for several hours; boil them in pure soft
water till quite tender and thick; then add
boiling water sufficient to reduce to the con
sistency of gruel. Curraut and sugar may
also be added.
Arrow-Root Ghcel. Mix an ounce at
arrow-root smoothly with a little cold water;
then pour on the mixture a pint of boiling
water, stirring constantly; returc it into tho
pan, and let it boil five minutes. Seaoa
with sugar and lemon juice.
Rice Grcel. Boil two ounces of cooil
clean rice in a uusrt of water until th
grains are quite soft; then add two table
spoonfulls of sugar and boil two or three
uiinntes. Currants make a cood addition
to this gruel.
Whitewash. Whitewash contribute? so
much to cleanliness and health, and to
neatness and cheerful appearance, that its
free use, at least once n year, is deemed in
dispensable. All unpapered inside wails.
and all outside walls and fences, should have
an application, and this is tho proper season.
Let it be thus prcpured:
Put half a bushel of fresh lime (the lumps
are best) into a tight barrel. Pour over it
boiling hot water till it covers to the depth
of six inches, and stir it briskly till slacked.
When sufficiently, slucked dissolve in wuter
two pounds of sulphate of iuc, and one of
common salt, nnd add it to the wash. They
will cause it to harden, and prevent the un
seemly appearance caused by crackiug. Thren
puunds of yellow ochre added will give it a
cream color, and lamp-black will give it a
pearl or lead color. For fawn color, add four
pounds of amber, one pound of Indian red,
and one pound of lamp black. For common
stone color, add four pounds of amber and
two of lamp black. Apply with n common
whitewash brush.
Creme Au Caramel.
4 tablespoons of flour,
4 tablespoons of sugar,
4 yolks of eggs,
1 quart of milk.
Mix the flour with cold milk enough to
wet it, beat thu 3 oiks and sugar together;
when the isHlk boils, pour some of it slowly
on the Aour, stirring it all the time, and
some on the eggs and sugar; then mix all
together, und boil until it thickens. Fla
vor with vanilla, bitter almond, or peach
water. After the cream is cold, cover it
with powdered sugar' und iron it w ith n
hot iron.
Lemon Form. Beat tho yolks of 3 eggs,
add t lb. sugar, und grated peel of 8 lemons.
If wauled iu a form, i ot. isiuglass dissolved
in as little water as possible; simmer these
t gether over the fire until the mixture be
gins to thicken ; let it stand until) cool, then
add the whites of tbe egg beaten to a stiff
froth, and put it iu a form ; use vanilla if
required.
Poor Mas' Pcddiso. 8 quarts of milk,
1 teacup of rice ; wash the rice, and let il
soak iu the milk several hours. Flavor
with a piece of butter tbe size of an egg ;
sugar to the taste, also vanilla, and bake tho
whole three or four hours, uutill the mixture
seem creamy. Raking, if properly done,
