Though battle e:oads are rolling yet, At ieagth we sea the light. Dark was the hoar of deafly strife. And larker were oar fears; Y t a true heart failed us in Th.: breaking of the spears. 'What eh ier from Pefinsylvania ?'' Comes hash ng o'er the wires ; tie ng; from the Keystone State 1" E ion friend afar inquires. The iantl of Penn is saved again, T 11.2 Nrritone State is free ; We've gamed our greatest triumph yet— A civic victory. Can Union men so soon forget They ask o'er rolling waves Is there by night no solemn light Above dead soldiers' 5. arcs? No ! Union men remember well Those graves are altars still ; Hurrah ! the dead have fought with us, And nerved each heart and will ! It. A. KussLor, 1s• ii. Ici:tst.B7E. And faster, faster, come the cheers, And louder ring hurrahs ; Ann wilder, wilder, are the shouts Of thundering applause '1 From Wcst and East they cry "Well done:" They sound it o'er the sea ; It thrills fresh life to freemen's hearts, Om golden victory ! What ho ! through all your Southern land ! What ho ! through Northern pines ! 'Tis heard in pleasant Italy; It sings o'er German vines. In Paris, and in Burgundy, Such news the Liberals seek, "'Tis well in the United States, rive, vice la Republique." We'll let them hear such news again Before this fight is o'er; We'll let them see that liberty Still lives upon this shore. Enough—as Pennsylvania leads, The Union always goes, And Pennsylvania has gone And triumphed o'er her foes THE MUSIC MISTRESS. I. was about sixteen when. I was invited by my aunt, Mrs. Morton, to stay with her for a few months at hec house, in that pleasant region of London, the neighbor hood of Regent's Park. I was a country bred girl, and had never so much as once visited the great city. I had all a novice's idea of its gaieties and splendors, and thought of them with almost awe as well as curiosity. • I pass over my anticipations of that visit, my arrival in London, the more than ful fillment of some of my dreams, the dissi pated illusions of others. My aunt, by her instant proposal that I should take lessons in all the usual accom plishments, showed her opinion of the education I had received from a country boarding school. Of my numerous other masters and mis tresses I need not speak—l have long for gotten their very names ; but of my music mistress, Grace Harvey, of whom this little record is told, I have the most distinct re collection from. the very first hour in which I saw her pale face, her great solemn eyes, that yet sometimes lit up into wonderful beauty, her firm mouth, and her tall, lithe figure. • "Well," said my aunt, when Miss Har vey took her departure after the first lesson was over, "if that young lady has such a large connection, and so much reputation as an instructress, as Mrs. Rupert tells us, I wonder she does not dress a little better. A certain appearance is incumbent upon every one according to their means, and Miss Harvey's dress is most disgracefully shabby." "It is not very nice," I answered ; "but, oh aunt, what splendid eyes she has—that is, if they were not so full of care." . I was young and enthusiastic in those days, and before long I had contracted an ardent admiration •for Miss Harvey, which now ripened into a passionate girlish friendship that made my aunt angry, and Fred laugh kindly. "Come, Chattie," said he one day, "you shall introduce me to the lady of the hand some eyes and shabby gown." "It. is very heartless of Aunt Kitty to talk so much of Miss Harvey's dress," I cried ; if she is poor is that her fault ? She is a far finer lady in her poor worn dress than many of aunt's friends who come rustling in silks and satins. And you, Fred, I am ashamed of you. Once you did not think a lady made by her dress." "And perhaps I don't now, either, Chat," said Fred ; "and hope I should be the last man in the world to sneer at poverty." "Grace Harvey has no relations, anti she lives in one room, all alone, up ever so many stairs, in such a dark, dismal little street ; oh, Fred ! it almost stifles me to think of it," I said eagerly. "I met Grace on the street one day, and it rained, and though I think she would have rather not, she took me for shelter to her room. When I saw what a poor low place it was, I felt as though I ought never to have seen it." " Poor thing !" said Fred, heartily. "Well, Chattie, we have no right to pry into her secret, or wonder why, with a large number of pupils, she should be so poor." My indignation much soothed by Fred's feelings and good nature, I introduced my brother with great pride to Miss Harvey, and noted with a thrill of pleasure, how his brow was as gracefully deferential, his manner as cordially respectful to the poor teacher of music in her worn garments, as ever I had seen either to the most distin guished of my aunt's fashionable friends. Miss Harvey soon dropped, too, her rather sad reserve of manner with him, and, as Fred about this time became for some reason or other a very dutiful nephew, and a most attentive brother, I had the pleasure of seeing the acquaintance between them improve rapidly. How Fred managed to time his calls so exactly to my music les- . sons is not for me to say, though I was a great deal too shrewd not to notice the Eta very speedily ; and, oh, how pleased to draw my own conclusions from it. It seeme,l to me, young and enthusiastic as I was, the most natural and desirable thing in the world that my darling brother should fill in love with and marry my dearest friend—musie mistress though she was. One night, to my unbounded delight, Fred took me to a concert, and when the first part was over, and I was able to spare my attention to the audience, I commenced a very admiring survey of the house. "Dear me," I exclaimed in two or three minutes, "did you ever see such a likeness? There, in the fourth row from this end. All ! she has turned her head away now ; but I could almost say it was she." "She! who, my clear !" inquired Fred. "Grace Harvey." "Grace Harvey ! where ? What, that girl in white silk ? Indeed ? it is some thing like. Ah ! now she has turned her head. Marvellously like her ! Is it Miss Harvey ?" PENNSYLVANIA, VICTORY CIIAIITER I "Nonsense, Fred," said I laughing. How can it be poor Grace ? Do you think she can afford concerts and white silk dresses." On the occasion of my next music les son I did not forget to tell Miss Harvey of the lady so closely v3sembling her whom I had seen at the concert, and to my great surprise, I saw that her pale face dashed suddenly and deeply, and for an instant she seemed confused and vexed. "The resemblance must have been strong indeed, to be risible through all the differ ence of dress. I ought to feel more com plimented than I dare say the lady would be, if she could knklw, Cbattie," was all she replied, and we spoke of it no more. But one day, not very long after that Fred came to me in some trouble and ex citement. "Chattie," said he presently, "I am going to tell you a secret. Will you be very much surprised if I tell you that I love Grace Harvey dearly, and that I have asked her to be my wife. "Not surprised, but so glad—oh so glad !" "Wait," said he, and though lie smiled, he looked vexed too. "It is true that I have asked Grace to marry me ; but Chat tie, she has refused. "Oh, Fred! and I am sure she likes you. It is some scruple about difference in rank, I dare say. Haven't you found out how proud Grace is ?" "To be sure I have. But I don't think it is that, either ; for I asked her outright, and I could not help thinking that my do ing that made her think of it for the first time. No, I don't fancy that was her rea son; and, Chattie, this is where you can help me. I cc:ad not press Grace for her motives, but you might ask questions that I could not. Try and come at her reason s will you ?" "But Fred, I am not to have my next lesson for more than a fortnight—not un till the new piano conies home." "Oh!" said poor Fred; with a look of great dismay, "I cannot wait that time. Can't you make some excuse for going to see Miss Harvey 2" What could I not have done for Fred ? I ran away to put on my things, and Fred I were soon in the dingy street, and the house at which Miss Harvey lived. I rang the bell, and enquired for Miss Harvey of the little girl who opened it. • "Yes, Miss Harvcy was in—would I walk up ?" Stmnbling up the dark and crooked stair case after the small handmaid, we at length arrived at Miss Harvey's door. The child knocked ; but as there was no answer, she opened it and told me to walk in. I did so There was the low and dismal room which I had often thought of with a pang—and there I stood transfixed in mute astonish ment; for that instant a door leading out of this room opened, showing me a momen tary glimpse of mirror-gilding and rich fur niture within, and Grace herself, beautiful ly attired in an evening dress, with jewels on her arms and stately neck, stood in the doorway.'She in turn, looked more than surprised, almost frightened. As she saw me she closed the door behind her quickly and her face was crimson as she faltered— "Chattie, is it you ?" I was so utterly' bewildered by what I saw,— the discrepancy between her rich dress and apparent, indeed, professed pov erty—that I did my errand badly enough, I dare say. Grace's face seemed to grow cold and stern , as she listened and replied briefly, that, "Mr. Talbot must consider her decision final, as it was." Poor Fred ! I told him all I had seen, wheA I gave him her answer, and we nev er spoke of Grace Harvey after. My visit to town came to an abrupt close soon after and my friendship for my music teacher became only a memory." CHATT ER II It was some years after this that me and my brother—now a grave lawyer immers ed in business—paid a visit to the gray old cathederal ton where we were both born. One evening—a summer evening full of tranquil beauty, I remember—as we saun tered under the shadows of the cloisters, I noticed the figure of a woman sitting on one of the stone benches beneath them, looking out over the graveyard beyond, where the long sun-shadows were growing dusky in the fading light. Something in the figure attracted nie, and as we passed I looked into her face. I knew her in stantly; yes—careworn, faded, shabbier in dress even than of old—l knew Grace Harvey ; and so touched was I too, by something inexpressibly sad and hopeless in her wistful face and weary attitude, that forgetting the awkwardness of any meeting, accompanied as I was, I stood still and said involuntarily— " Grace Harvey I" She looked up hastily, and by the color that flushed into her pale, thin face, I saw that she recognized us. It was a very awkward meeting, but the good breeding and self-control of the two most concerned, made it pass oil better than one might have hoped. Miss Harvey was not residing in Deans bury—no, only here for a day or two. She had known the place as a child, and loved it dearly. I think this was the sum of the infor mation we gathered concerning herself be fore we parted, which we did very soon, though, in spite of all the mysterious cir cumstances that seemed to surround Miss Tlarvey, my heart yearned towards the ob ject of my passionate, youthful friendship, when she bade us good-by, in her low thrilling voice, and left us. Fred and I wandered abroad much later than usual that night, talking of those old tunes ; and when I learned, as I did then, how constant my brother had been to the memory of his early love—how noble his simple faith in her goodness, notwithstand ing the mystery surrounding her life—l made a vow in my heart, though I said nothing about it to him. A day or two after this, as I was coming out of the cathedral, I lingered an instant to admire a new stained window that was in the process of putting in when we first arrived at Dcansbury. As I did so two other persons came from another direction and paused before it, and, not noticing me, began to talk of the window. I soon gath ered that the lady had presented this new memorial window, and the gentleman was eager to know whether the work had been eseelted according to he: wish, and so forth. "Yes," she answered, softly; and the voice was familiar to me, though I could not see her face. "Your part of the work is well done; and .mine—ah ! I have felt as if I could not rest till it was accomplish ed. And now that it is done, I began to ask myself what other need of me there is in The . world. I think I have never really fel lonely till now." The sad, patient voice thrilled through me; and when Grace turned away, as she did almost directly, I hastened after and overtook her, under the gray, old archway of the gate. She colored faintly when she saw me, but did not refuse to walk back with me round the cloisters. "Grace," said I, presently, "I wonder If you ever remember how fond I was of you." "You were a good kind child," she answered, with a faint smile, "and, I be lieve, loved me better than I deserved." "Then, Grace, make no amends. Tell me why----" "Tell you all my secrets, I suppose ?" she answered. Chattie, I don't know that I need keep them any longer. I am very sure no other but your kind s•2ll' would care to hear them. Shall we sit here, where we can see that large tomb ? Can you read the names on this side, Chatti3 ?" "Yes. It is the family vault of Henry Armytage, of Langton Hall." "I wonder whether my bones will rest there ?" said Grace, wistfully. "He was my father. Chattie." I shall not give Grace's story in her own words, though they were far more touch ing and eloquent than any I can pretend to. It was briefly this : She was one of the three daughters of Henry Armytage, of Langton estate, at his death, reverted to the heir male. a distant connection only. The three daughters were, however, handsomely dowered, and at their father's death retired to a neighbor ing small property, where they. lived in much comfort, and even style.—Grace, the youngest, was many years the junior of the other ladies, clever, and a beauty. The el der sisters were inordinately fond of this girl ; pampering and indulging her in eve ry caprice; sacrificing themselves for her, and only happy when she was pleased. They naturally looked to her settling in life in a manner accordant with her ancient name and handsome means; instead of which the wilful girl chose to throw her self away upon a man every way her infe rior, and, as it turned out, of the most un principled character. The elder sister at first refusing their consent to the union, the pair eloped, were married, and for a year or two were heard of no more.. The elder sisters, only anxiouslto forgive, lost no op portunity of discovering their whereabouts and at last triumphantly brought back the runaway young people to their home at Fairbridge; Here for a while they all lived but before very long it was discovered that Mr. Barrington had dissipated his wife's fortune, and the pair were entirely depend ent on their relatives. In vain the simple ladies tried to save them from the conse quences of their own sin and follies. while money was to be had the husband of the younger would spend it; and at last, when everything had been obtained, disapear ed, leaving his wife behind.—The Misses Armytage and their sister left Fairbridge forever, and went to London; but while they had a penny they feebly strove to avert disgrace and ruin from their sister's hus band. When all was gone, the poor ladies patiently set about trying to earn a living, and while thus engaged, the younger, who had rejoined her husband for a while, came back to them, calmly told them that she had parted with him for ever, assumed her mother's maiden name, and declared that she would live and die, with her sisters. She was energetic and clever, and, as a teacher of music she had already got remun erative employ, when one of her sisters took a fever, languished and died. Almost be fore she was buried the other was taken ill, and, though her life was spared to her stricken sister, was hopelessly imbecile from that time. The one pleasure of which she seemed capable was that of liking to see round her the sights and luxuries of her early life; and to give the poor invalid these became the one absorbing duty of the younger sister's existence,. She removed her sister to the house of an old servant, who let apartments, and who would keep her secret, labored night and day to furnish one room in the style of her sister's own at Langton, and while she herself lived upon the poorest five, supplied the other table with luxuries. After her long day's work, the poor girl would replace her poor worn, dress with one such as she bad worn in the days of prosperity, and devote herself to the poor imbecile, striving to call back those early days in which alone she seemed to live ; a drive now and then, in unfrequen ted suburbs ; a visit to a concert, which was a scource of rapturous delight to the invalid—these were all the substantial en joyments Grace could venture on. If her husband had the slightest idea that she gained money enough to give what she did to her sister, he would not long have left her in peace. She guarded her secret care fully, and only seemed to have valued her life as dedicated to thi service of her sister to whom, indeed, she owed such terrible atonement. And then came the day when she could do no more—when her love, her prayers, her labors, could give nothing more to that figure on whom her tears fidl so bitterly— and she could only bury her dead out of sight, and realize—oh, how remorsefully ! oh, how tenderly !—that little of wrong can be set right in this world. "It comforted me, somehow, to work hard, that I might lay them both in yonder tomb, where they had wished to lie , and when that was done, I labored to put up the window to their memory;" Grace con cluded ; and then I understood the words I heard her say in the church. "And your husband ?" I venturned to say, timidly, presently. "lie is gone to where my forgiveness can not reach him," she answered calinly."Ah, Chattie, there was no room for regret in my heart for him." And this was Grace,s story. I told it to Fred in the moonlight cloister, all he said was, "Poor darling! Dear, noble Grace!' Need I tell the ending' of the story ? and that Geace has been for some years, my dear sister and Fred's happy ',vice, ?" THE SKY A WEATIMIL INDICATOR. - The color of the sky, at particular times, afford wonderful good guidance, not only does a rosy sunset presage good weather, and a ruddy sunrise bad weather, but there are other tints which speak with equal clear ness and accuracy. A bright yellow sky in the evening indicates wind ; a pole yellow wet; a neutral gray color constitutes a fa vorable sign in tile evenine, and an unfa vorable one in the morning. The clouds arc again full of meaning in themselves.— If their Corms are soft, undefined, and feath ery, the weather will be fine; if their edges are hard, sharp and diliant, it will be foul Generally speaking, any deep unusual hues betoken wind or rain; while the more qui et and delicate tints besbeaks fair weather.
