And if you could he would not be much improved in my estimation. Such'an uncouth mortal never crossed my path ! If I speak to him he colors to the hue of a boiled lobster, and fidgets his bands jind feat as if be was afraid I wanted to run away with them; and his ‘yesma’am’ and ‘no ma’am’ are so broad and constrained as ifl ware his grandmother.” 1 “And yet yonr uncle says he is very accom plished.” “Oh, Auntie !” "Quite true, my dear. You most take into consideration bis advantage*. His motber.one of the lovliest women Whom I ever knew, died when Lionel war but five years old j and his father, inconsolable, shnt'biraself up in l that out of-the-way country place of his and never went into society again. Lionel's education has been his whole care, and, a profound scholar himself, he'has probahlyuepared no pains to make his son his equal. Still the entirely recluse life was cqlcttlated to make the hoy shy apd nerv ous, and the long, severe illness which followed bis father's death accounts for his pallid face.” "Lhiipe his trip to France will restore his health," said Luly, rather coldly. ‘‘And you ?” “IScannot go with him,” cried the young girl ipassionately. “My father’s will only requests us to look upon each other as the children of life limg friends as he ami Mr. Cnrleton should do. 1 He, hopes we may love each other well enough to marry happily ; otherwise he does not even desire our union. Ido not love him and I cannot flatter myself with the idea thatr he even admiros me, so we had the best part as good friends, but no more. At that instant the subject of the conversa tion entered the room. A few commonplace remarks .passed between him and Mrs. Ray mond, and then she pleaded some household and left the room. The lovers, per contract, sot in silence for some moments, end a greater contrast can scarcely be imagined than the two presented.' Lily HaztetuHwas a blonde of the most ex quisite type. OTmedium size, her form was graceful and symmetrical,' and her fair curls and large blue eyes suited the Grecian profile and fair delicately tinted oomplextiun. An expression of animation and high intellect sav ed her face from insipidity ; and as she now bent over her sewing the rich color mantling her ; cheeks proved her embarrassment. She was but seventeen, and not at her ease with the lover she intended to discard. And Lionel Carleton, raising his dark eyes 'from the floor, saw in the large mirror this .perfect form and face, and bis own figure. He •was very tall, and his height was-exaggerated by the attenuation of long illness. The large features,-which noold bare been manly and handsome in'health were actually monstrous in the thin, sallow face ; and his dark eyes locked hollow-hod unnatural With tbedark rimswhioh suffering bad penciled round them. They -were weak, too, and the pink tinge of the lips, and a certain .straining look did not improve their beauty. A close fitting black scull cap, which concealed the loss of hair sacrificed in his illness, added to the grotesque and appear ings of the young roan. He smiled sadly, as be studied the group‘in the mirror ; and then -with the nervous, tremor of his voice, and flut tering of the the fingers, which bettfkened his bashfulness, he said, in a low tone, .. “Miss Hazleton, I have come to you, at yonr uncle’s request, to tell you that I leave tomor row, to ask you if I may take with methe bope that the engagement which your father made with mine will he fulfilled when I return.” .

Ido not love yon 1” The [ghastly whiteness of his face almost frightened her, but she was acting a noble, true part, rand con tinned, “I will not trifle with you : and when you have met others with more power to win your, love than I pos sess, you will me for it.

We are, as you say, young, and two weeks is bat a short time to make a decision which affects a.whole life time. Let me write to you as a friend only if you desire it, and perhaps in a year ” ; He raised his eye? again with a pleading, al-' .most childlike look,! which moved.her deeply. His love conqueredi his shy manner, and the hope of his whole heart was mirrored in bis large dark eyes. ■ [ “Be it so," she said gently. I will answer your letters, and in a year we shall meet again. Only,” she said earnestly, t‘if my heart re mains untouched, you must acquit me of any charge of coquetry.” He raised her hand to his lips. '“Believe me,” he said, no tbought that is net born of lave and respect can ever cross my mind regardiog.yuu, , and rising, be left bfr alone. • S ' j - ... , CHAPTER 11. “And pray, Uncle William, who is-this irre sistible Adonis ? I quite long|tu meet him.” “Your desire will be granted then,fori have invited him to pass some weeks at Milton, and he las accepted my invitation. He will-be here to-day or to-morrow. .Take care of your heart, or poor Lionel will soon hove cause to be jeal* ous.” i “Air. Carletnn-bus no right to he jealous,’’ said Loulza Hazleton; quickly, “nor is my heart as .susceptible as you insinuate. "By -the way, it is now eighteen months since Lionel went abroad ; and it tVseveral weeks since he has written. Can he be oomingihome?” “Not at all unlikely. He. writes wel', Luly 1” ’ “Well. He writes the most charming letters I ever read. No published account of a Euro pean trip that I have ever read compares with his letters for interest, wit, or grace. His fa miliarity with the modern languages gives him an insight into the manners of each country ; while his ready pen, hisj keen observation, and alternations of gravity end wit, makes his let ters perfect models of composition, interesting narrative and graceful address.” “Well done, Lou !” cried her uncle laughing. She blushed a little, and! then said, “If he was not such a. fright I” “Well, you can’t make that charge against the guest I expect to-morrow. He is one of the handsomest men I ever have seen. lam not very expert at portrait .painting, Lou, but I can give you some idea of him. He is tall, with broad shoulders, full chest, and an erect manly carriage. A symmetrical Hercules.— His features are regular, and he has the'most expressive dark eyes. His hair ,is very dark, almost black,, and curls all over his haad, and his mouth and teeth are-faultless. His smile is the most winning I ever saw.” “Mr. Murray, sir,” said a servant entering the drawing room. i “Ah! Show him in, James. He hoped to get here to-day, but was afraid he 1 would be detained until to-morrow,” be added, turning to Mrs. .Raymond. ' “We are glad to welcome him at any time,” said that lady,-smiling, and rising at,the same moment to meet the stranger as be entered. Louisa acknowledged that her uncle had not overdone the portrait, as site raised her eyes to return his graceful courteous greeting!. “Well might my uncle William wirn me jto guard my heart!” she said to herself, as the afternoon wore on. “I never saw suth fasci nating manners.” i : -, “How, Luly, some music,” said her uncle, as they returned to the drawing room after tea. “But uncle ” j “Oh!

No matter if the' lines are a little crooked, they don’t need to be straight, to be acceptable. Well, I hardly know what to write you about; but I shall have to make a guess and -talk of such things as T think will most interest you. Mother used to snV, f was pretty good at guess ing what would be for dinner—lf 1 was within smelling distance of fKS oven : So first, L will have to fell you all about our Hospital diet— how wo fare, what we eat, what We do and how we pass our time generally. Well, then, onr breakfast is brought up on a fray or platter, by the nurse, from the large kitchen under the North wing, where the cook ing has all been done—until recently—for 14 or 1600 patients—the number now here, scat tered throughout the Seminary, the hospital barracks and tents. The breakfast is generally ditto ; the same, a cup of tea or coffee, a "slice of bread l and a small piece of beef. But sometimes it is va ried, according to the state of the buttery and the nature of your disease. In either case, our coffee comes milked—not in the clear, a little sauce is added and peradventure, dimanutive, solitary potato. Dinner follows suit, leaving out the coffee, and changing the potato to a pickle, or piece of “dump’—a sort of boiled dough pudding. Sap per is a partial imitation of both : that is, the tea, coffee and -bread are forthcoming, and I must hot forget to add, sometimes we are re galed with a few jndiooos spoonfuls of preserv ed sauce or jelley of some kind—the gift of the Sanitary or Health Committee, or some other thoughtful and'kind-hearted persons. But as the patients grow stouter, throw aside their calico wrappers and slippers, they stroll oht beyond "the limits’ of-the hospital—and of health (indcaution, sometimes too ; Forfheroad abounds with'hucksters and venders of all fii’anner of tempting and hurtful delicacies, which please the taste and 1 pamper the appetite. Here is a peach pedlar, with his fruitful load of Ibcious peaches, and great, plump apples. There is a caW, heavy with ice-cream and ap ple-dumplings, encompassed about with an anxious crowd of lumriatingsoldiers. ■’ ’A little farther along is a slim, long-haired young man, very like a student of physic, with a buttled up decoction of villnnoos, red looking stuff, which he very solemnly declares will ourc rln umafism, blistered "feet, colds, colic, and everything else bad that a sohlier is heir to.— He has lung ’ accounts of bis medicine and df bis own success in selling,' heft he failed to de monstrate either fact. ’ Sheets, : o&n ,1-ways die lay On 't)fclovf 'n‘ piece is, a little Dutchman, pounding away at his everyday business of opening oysters; -which he promised to soil ■ rnindpsly-cheap, cooked or haw, in the shell rtrj ' dear, ftfeSh or stale—nil lie Wants is to be trved .• and he is tried toilhe fulleitent iff •fciS'-ftmh i hands.

I must tell you about ourlast visitor. '"She ■ Was a .-pretty looking youbg lady, but talked as. if the word wounded could not be found in our language. . ’ Coming in with the nurse, she inquired : "Any of yjsu struck ?” "Well, no; mbt particularly, I told her, as yet.” ’ “Have’nt the rebels struck ‘any of yon ?” “Oh, the rebels no, not yet; all sick.” “Sick are you? Then you have not been-’ struck. Well, you must hurry and get well, so you L-'. (I know she was going to say : so you can get struck ; bpt hesitating she said : so you con strike the rebels.)' 1 “Ter, we have given'them severe blows; ready torepeat them, if necessary." “Yes, do. ~You may strike one for me if you will. I was in an Alexandria Hospital to day, and don’t you believe there was only two among the whole number who had not been struck.— They surd the rebels seemed so very careless ; did hot care wfyere or how they struck." “Yes, they are careless fellows ; and our men try to be just as careless as they can.” “I'jl warrant yon. Well, you must hurry and get well agkin. I hope you are getting better,” and with a kind “Good afternoon,” she went on her wqy, offering consolation to the stricken .,, And if she goes far enough, some gallant,and susceptible young soldier will be decidedly struck, whether he is now or not. It is time now for Our sage and venerable physician to he making his rounds.

Well, as they grow older. they are, I am quite , sure, ‘ At first they want to roll the biggest snow ball, nr get the most bead marks at school; and after awhile, the most prizes. Then, after they .leave school, and go out into the. world, they want to get up as high as the cascades, that foam jn the gorges of the towering mountains. After getting up there, they are called judge, editor or lawyer. And then they Want'to be lifted above the fountain head of tbese cascades, and got a seat on some silver edged cloud which floats above, so they-can .look down upon everything,on the earth. , Well,, it Is not so easy to get up to the clouds; but by a little help from Fortune or a little gass in a large silk bortfe and a'good deal of hard ■work, they climb up to the highest peak, and wait there for the clouds to come down, which they Sometimes do, below the tops of the moun tains, and. then they jump on. Now they are called a Senator, a President or a Prime Secre tary of Something; Now they are up pretty high—can talk with a man in the moon without any tronhle, and understand what he says. But thereHs no earthly place so high that you cannot fall from it; and when that happens, there’s n downward -flash like a frisk of a comet’s tail or a falling meteor, ahd the sitter on the cloud is plunged, like the rush of angry Waters, to the very bot tom-of onr humble little bog-pond I had ra ther yon would sail-on the waters of the little bog-pond all yotrlife in an oyster shell, than to get into a steamboat and run it over the Ni agara Falls. But 10, where is the old doctor f No wonder he - has left when we have so abruptly turned onr backs upon him and set out on this voyage of clouds, mountain streams and snbw balls; for as I come to think of it, he is not a cold water Doctor.

The moral is this : •Not that I wish the more that your life sho’d be spent in an oyster shell on a lonely little pond : but ratter so than "to' be what is called a Miarf man, and not a wise, a Unrveri and a pood man! - G, '\y. >j.

There -were ,‘men enough who were anxious to’serve.tbeir country, and among , them whose circumstances were such that means were needed at once to supply their wants. The patriots'of dor County saw* this, and sustained the Commissjonerein prom ising a reward of fifty dollars to every man that would volunteer under lie call of-the Governor, i op to the number of three hundred.men. . Now I cannot see where there is anything mercenary or wrong in any man’s coming forward, volunteer under that ofilar, and proffering, hi B services to the Government in any capttoijy:o.s a volunteer soldier. It was offered.to all alike, and was as great inducement forone as, for'ftn other to volunteer, even thougb he *hpu!dfj)a cbosen a leader, from the number. ; Indeed, ffra may say that the object ; of the offer was’jto raise the required number of men who- sbqjjld count in the quota demanded of That is true ; but, does it follow thatitbe offer bad no weight in inducing.even, those.. were thought enough .of .by the men for officers, to leave their homes, business, and whatever -. interest they might have at home, to meet the perils and the hardships of war (which none but the soldier can understand,j-or wotfld it not be more magnanimous to say, from the quiet repose of our homes, awfty from tbe bafd sbipa they .have to meet,'that their sacri&pes made in offering their servicesetind infiueooes as well as time in raising their enmpanies tfid inducing even tbeirfriends and all upon whom they could bring their personal influences to bear, to volunteer under that' call;. ace worth even more than' all-the' money offered ibylha county to influctice men to join thekrmv; wsth them and not with'strangers 'asofficers, and trust‘to them as friends in an hour of sickness ahd dangers,, than even the magi ophite r of money.
