It was night-fall now, and a man walked slowly home to the wife who watched and waited for him. He was a tall, handsome fellow—thirty five, perhaps ; vigorous of limb, strong of mus cle,' with kindly yet earnest eyes, well cut fea tures, anijj an expression of fearless integrity. You would have triown him at once for what ho was—a good, unselfish, courageous-, honest man. worthy of winning, capable of holding a woman’s love. She who listened for his coming heard the slow step upon the gravel, and sprang from the door to meet him. You could see, even in that dim light, what a bright, cheery, pret ty woman she was; with'her loving eyes; her dark, satin-smooth hair ; her red, tender lips ; and' the fresh roses on her cheeks. She went up to her husband and pother hands on his arm lovingly. “ I know you have bad news for mo, John!” “Yes, Mary; 1 must go. I was tho third one drafted.’.’ The wife felt her limbs shake, and she tho’t at first that she could not stand. All the forces of her nature seemed giving away, but she ral lied bravely. For his sake she would be calm and strong; but she could not.apeak just then. She led him iota the house, where their child ren were—five of them ; the eldest only ten in the July just gone. There was something in their father’s manner which checked the noisy demonstrations with which they were wont to greet him, and they only gave him a few silent kisses as he sat down in the groat chair by the west window, Ho buried his face in his hands fur a while, and then he lifted it and looked round on the little group of bis loved ones.— 'Three girls and two boys, and hia wife, their motherj-looking, in spite of years of care, as fair, almost "as young, as the day he brought her home his new-made bride. His chest heaved with a long and bitter sigh—a sort of sob of despair, rather—and then he said, as-if -ho feared even she, his other self, might mis understand him: “God knows, it is. not Tot my own sake, Mary! Ido not think lam afraid to die. 1 would go with more than willingness, with joy, if-1 had not so much to leave. If 1 fall, what will become of you and the children ? I can not hear to think of what you might suffer, with no one to stand between you and the cares and sorrows of the world. Mary, this drafting indiscriminately does not seem, just. 8 Surely the single men ought to go first.” ' His wife stole her hand into his very gently. “Do not think of us,” she said, with a true woman’s self-forgetfulness. “It is not that. We should do well enough. You need not fear that we should come to want. But oh ! John—” And just there she broke down ut terly, and cried out, with a buret of passionate tears, " No, I can not bear it! You will die ! I shall never, never see .'your face again 1 If 1 could know that you would come hack, even were it maimed and-helpless, I would not mur mur, but to tbiok that you might die there, and I could not help you—that your eyes would seek mine, your hands grope for mine, and I not he there—oh 1 John, I shall go mad with hopeless horror !” It was his turn to be the comforter now. He drew her into the shelter.of his arms ;be res ted her poor head on bis breast; he whispered tenderly: “AH who fight do not die, Mary. God watches over us there as well as here. Some women’s husbands must go, poor child U Something may happen yet that I shall not have to go.” He knew, however, no solitary chance under the wide heavens by which he could escape. The words with him were but the vaguest! ut terance of soothing; but she caught at them eagerly. “ You could procure a substitute,'perhaps— is that what you mean ?” “ I would if'l could,” he answered, evasive ly remembering in his own mind the difficulty far richer men than ho had experienced in pro curing them in those quiet, thinly-peopled, agricultural towns. “ I am very tired, Mary; can you give me some tea?” Cheered a little by her new hope, and nnx ous, above all, to cheer him and make him comfortable, the wife got up and went into the kitchen. The biscuit for supper were-olready made, and in a few minutes tea was upon the table. John Morgan drank cup after cup of it,»with an eager, feverish thirst, but eating with him was a mere feint. When the meal was over the children were put to bed, all but the two, oldest girls. They stole out to the open door, and sat down in the September moonlight, their arms round each other—feel ing, with a sort of dumb pain, that a shadow which they could not resist' had fallen npoh the household. Their mother, meantime, had lighted her lamp and taken her work—a child’A EAD.

He went, away next day to join his regiment, one of which had already, seen hard service. There Whs in him the metal Jof a true soldier. His day might be short—he would be’ busy while it lasted. Besides, I think be liked his grim work. He was always |to be found among the volunteers for any desperate service. In jnany a fierce charge he led: the van, with his bright fair hair glittering gplilenly in the sun light, and n blue gllst in his eyes. He was never wounded. Nothing happened to disable him from his duty. He bad refused well-earned promotion, and once, when a true comrade who inarched always at his side, had asked him the reason why, he answered, j “ Because ! shall be here so little while.” “I thought you volunteered for three years. I had heard that you came in place of a nine mouths man, but that you chose to enlist for the longer time and join aniold regiment." There was no answer tojthe inquiring tone which made a question of this remark, and Steven Chase, who understood his comrade too well to press the point, was ks much puzzled as ever. • j :Ho comprehended it all better the night be fore Fredericksburg. They sat together on a stone a little way from their tent. For a while both had beep'thinking silently of what the dawning was to bring. > “It will be a tough fight,” Chase said, at lofigth. 1 - ‘•You may well say so,” Ash Thoruycroft answered. “It is a terrible responsibility to assume, that of leading men to such certain destruction ; and yet, if we can hut win the victory 1 There is hardly a man but would be willing to sell Ins life for that. It is the only regret I have in going in, that .1 shall never know which side conquers. “ Nonsense, man, don’t get blue after seeing as much blood spilt as you have, arid coming but of so many hard bouts scathless!” “It was not my time hitherto.* It is now. I have had my call. But I’m not blue,-never fear. I shall go.into that;fight more joyfully than ever tired child went home. I have only one wish.

You pinst send me to my father —David Thoruycroft,- ’Westville, Con necticut. Here it is written drown for you. Papers that I left at home explaining my wishes will bo sufficient fob the rest.” His manner carried conviction with it, con viction at least of his own faith in his forwarn-' ing, but Steven Chase tried to shako it off. “ I never knew a presentiment to come true in my life,” he Said, sturdily, “ Yon will talk over the battle *with me! twenty-four'hours from now.” , Thornycroft only smiled, as he said, “ Do you promise- what I asked, Steven Z Will you send .my body (o my father if it is within your power to protect it ?" “ Yes: for your satisfaction I promise, I shall not bid you good-bye, though.” They were toiling Up the bill, that fatal af ternoon of tho next day,- side by side, when suddenly Thornycroft looked round with kind ling eyes to his comrade. iHe stretched out his hand with a smile which:the other will never forget if be lives till his hair is white. “ Good-bye, Steven!” ' The nej:t instant he fell heavily. A rebel shot bad given him his mortal wound. With exertions which (would seem half in credible if 1 should relate them, Steven Chase succeeded iu getting him off the field. lie was not dead, and a hope still lurked in his true comrade’s heart that he might yet live to tell at homo the story of the war. He did not speak or move, but faithful Steven could feel the faint beating of bis heart; lie did not die till after the troops had gone back across the Rappahannock, lie belonged to a division which went into the fight six thousand strong, and went hack at night with only fifteen hundred. lie lay there with the wounded round him—the thin ranks out of 1 which so mauy brave feet had marched for ever. Just at dawning hd looked up, and met : his friend’s eyes. He fattered,. feebly, • “A defeat, Steven! I lived to know—vic tims, not conquerors.” Then his face bright ened with a strange radihneo, and he whisper ; ed so softly that his friend could scarcely catch : the words whispered Us to some invisible ! auditor. [ “Yes, my darling, yes!!” The .next instant the faint heart-heat under Steven Chase's had was sjtill. They have buried-him, since then, beside the grave where ho knelt in the moonlight the night. before he went- aiiay. Only a, foot of earth between the two who. loved each other so dearly. Is there so mncli ? Surelyour dreams of the future are not all in vain. Surely, some where in the heaven which is “ anchored off this world,” where sickness and sorrow.never pome,, and there are neither wars qor rumors of wars, somewhere in-that still Land of Peace they are tasting the cup of joy which earth denied them. ... John ’Morgan, and JohiTSlorgSn’s wife and children, will speak the name of Ash Thorny croft all their lives with such reverent tender ness as befits the memory of one who is en shrined in their hearts as saint and as deliverer.

Camp near Beli.e Plain, Va., 1 February 23, 1803. J Fkiend Agitator: It will he seen that we.re main in the same place.' It is now more than two months since we came here and' built quar ters, as we were instructed, for the winter.— Col. Lyle, commanding out Brigade, is every inch a soldier and gentleman ; and when we settled in this little valley, he took the precau tion to see that measures were adopted to make us Comfortable for the winter, in case we should remain here. This seemed to be uncertain; but the facts, as they have occurred, have fully vindicated the sense of his judgment, and- the correctness of his forethought. We have the warmest place, most convenient to wood and water, and, with all, the most comfortable quarters that I have seen. Unlike many of our neighbors, who have to their wood, some of them neatly a mile, we have wood so near by-that three of a squad of ten can pro provide enough in one-half hour for a whole day and night. Then the cheerful’fire glows, .andround its genial heat, and cheerful blaze, we pass the .time in talking of the past, in reading, and in various ways too commonly ■ mentioned to be of interest. We compare our present with our past soldier experience, and grow almost jubilant at the contrast. - How often have we, when on, the march, risen at the early reveille, sometimes long before it was yet light, and after diligently searching, pet haps,.for half an hour, for something to kindle d fire, and. then hurrying off for water with which to boil,a tin of coffee, cooked our morn ing, raea! of the soldier’s unvarying, often scanty faro, if su&cient time were allowed ; and having partaken of it, have then buckled ft n our heavy load, and set oat for a day’s march 1. Then, at a halt during the day, with- interval of rest uncertain, bow often have we poured the coffee on the ground for want of time to cool to a palatable degree or perhaps, have seen it overturned by the over-anxious hurry of some hungry compan ion, as unconsciously he undermined the un certain basis, and our “ tin,” capsized, lay empty before us, who, with huge appetites, be took 1 ourselves to the inevitable “hard tack,” and a slice of strong bacon. This, perhaps, is the darker side; and yet is only on paper, and varies much from actual experience, in that no, imagination can equal the solid fact. So we are most, willing to hang the curtain of forget fulness between the past and present, through the indulgence of the times. f Yet, we have our duties before ua even now; the early morn is announced by the rattle of tbs drum, and the shrill echoes of the fife, when the soldier wakens, and hurries from his warm bed, simply to let the over particular superiors, who have such watchful care of them, know that they are present—to hurry'on their boots or shoes, button every other button, and appear before the scrupulous Orderly, sim ply to say, in answer to their names “ here," that they may be accounted present. Then they gather up the embers of the fire of last night’s vigils, and if they are so fortunate as to have a remnant of yesterday’s wood, they soon have a blazieg fire, if the chimney does not obstinately refuse “io draw.” One is dis patched for j water, which they catch near by, as it runs from a gun barrel inserted intp the hank of anl adjacent creek, where numerous springs of jery good water arp, found; while another swbeps up the earthos floor, with! a broom madje, perhaps, ia an idle hour, of either hickory or maple; and yot another sets about preparing the morning meal. This con sists of the Regular rations, with an occasional issue of vegetables, and with what additions they see fit io make, by purchasing what .may here be badi at the rather exorbitant prices which here jprevail. Thus: cheese at 40e., butter at 50e„ apples 50c. per dozen, soda crackers at 250., cakes do., and many other things at pribes ranging about the same. Breakfast eaten, the streets and adjacent grounds are “policed,” as it is here termed, by a police guard, regularly detailed, or perhaps appointed for being absent at rolloal). So that; when tjhe~weather is fine, things'look clean and neat about camp; and a healthy atmosphere thereby prevails, which is of course, very essential, Then, if the weather permits; guard-mounting and company drill follow : 'the former of which is quite an interesting formal parade, the first few times it passes under one’s observation. ißattalion drill and dress parade consume mosf; of the afternoon. We never have enjoyed imoch of an opportunity-to drill in battalion ; | and yet so much diligence has been'observed, that we can perform- the moat essential evolutions with general success. Of course the weather is such, moat of the.time, that drilling is suspended. To-day there is a body of snovlr a foot deep lying the ground. Most of it fell the 20ih and 21st in stants. It fasti beneath the vfrann "sun, which shines
