CAPTAIN CAM LION. In the month of May, 1864, we were encamped, under Grant, on the bank of the Itapidan. The opposite side ot the river was held by Lee's ! foreea. Our regiment—the Two Hun dredth Massachusetts—had fought in many of the bloodiest, battles of the war, and comparatively few of the original volunteers now survived. Camlion, Fred. Helton and myself, however, still held together, and neither of us, in all the dangers to which we had been exposed, had ever received a wound. Our acquaintance antedated the war. We had been classmates in Har vard University. I remember we u-ed to nickname Camlion 'Captain' long before the war of the rebellion was thought of. He was tall, strong and serene, with a dignity about him. half boyish and half manly, which made him re-pceted as well as loved, lie was president of every college society to which he belonged; be pnll ed the heaviest oai in the University crew. No exertion tired him, and no provocation put him out of temper, though I do not forjret his encounter with Fred. Belton, It was, indeed the beginning of their friendship. Fred was a Virginian by birth, though he afterward fought on the Northern side ; he was full ol fun and humorous mischief, but subject to un governable ou'bursts of passion. One day be undertook to play off a practi cal joke on Mrs. Clapper, our laundress who was more than suspected of using chemicals in her washing, to the detri. ment of the fabrics committed to her charge. Fred, who was something of a chemist, hit upon th<j ingenious de vice of saturating one of his 6hirts with a mixture which, when brought into contact wilh the ingredient Mrs. Clapper was accused of, produced an explosion which utterly upset her and her washtub, and, besides rendering the poor old lady almost idiotic with fright, injured her rather severely on the face and hands Fred related the incident with great glee at the suppef table that evening. We all thought It funny and laughed, all except Camlion. 'You ought to beg the woman's par don, lieltou,' he said. There was an immediate silence when his low but powerful voice struck in, aud every body turned toward him as he *at with both hands resting on the «dge of the table, and his face, which was the type of the young Grecian Her cules, slowly reddening. Fred laugh ed, fancying at first that Camlion was chaffing. liut in a moment the latter added, 'lt was a blackguardly thing to do.' 'fhereupou Fred Jumped up, white with wrath. •Will you take that back V he called out. 'I say it was a shameful and cow ardly trick,' was Camlion's answer, Helton snatched up a heavy bread knife that lay on the tabic and hurled it with all his force at Camlion's face. It struck him on the cheek, alittie be low the right eye. It was a murder ous act. We all rose confusedly to our feet, anticipating a violent sequel; for Camlion could have shaken Bclton's heart out of him with one hand. He alone remained seated, however, press ing his handkerchief to the deep gash, while he kept his glance fixed on his assaliant. 'Of course that makes no difference, Helton,' he uaid, after a pause. Helton, who was by no in?ans a bad fellow, had no sooner done the deed than he was sorrv for it, and manfully said as much on the spot. 'I don't care a about this,' ans wered Camlion, quietly; 'but,' he added with the grim tenacity which was a feature of his character, 'you ought to make it up to Mrs. Clapper.' The upshot wa3 that Belton yielded, and presented Mrs. Clapper with $25 and a handsome apology. Hut the in cident roused a jrood deal of discussion and opinion was for a while somewhat divided as to Camlion's behavior. Some declared that he ought to have sent the Southerner a challenge, but most of us felt that a duel would have been a giatuitious absurdity for a man like Camilon ; and it was a sign of the general confidence felt in him that no oue ventured to intimate that the fact of Belton's being a notoriously dead shot had anything to do with the pa cific termination of the affair. Camlion himself never alluded to it in any way, hut as I have said, the two men after ward became firm friends, and Belton, who had l>efore belonged to the fast set, grndually mended bis ways under Camlion's influence and joined the athletic party. Another follower of Camlion's—and he had many, though his intimates were few—was Frank Capel, also a Southerner, and a well-mannered, pleasant fellow enoutrh. He waa< ufcivfy noted ft; bis fuaanttol dcrvo- tion to a certain famous sister of bfc, to whose praises his friends were obliged to listen in season and out. She was according to Frank, the cleverest, most beautiful, most fascinating creature above ground. Her dancing, her rid ing, her music, were all perfection, und Frank used to declare that she could beat even Fred. Belton hollow at shooting 'Why, I've seen her,' Frank ex claimed, 'take her revolver aud put a bullet through each of the fingers of my jrlove while I was throwing it in the air ten paces away from her ?' In short, she was the ideal of all that woman can or might be, and we looked forward with interest to her promised appearance on our class day. 'We'll introduce Camlion to her, and he shall make her an offer of marriage!' said Belton, with a chuckle. The joke of this suggestion lay in the fact that the else heroic Camiion was what is called 'afraid' of young ladies, that is, he could seldom be got to open his mouth in the presence of any women who was not over thirty aud married, and if brought to bay he would stammer and blush like a school boy, and stand twisting his great hands behind him and glancing anx iously this way and that for a chauce to bolt. To imagine him carrying on a courtship was too daring a flight of fancy for any one but Belton. With children, however, Camlion was com pletely at home, and he would spend hours of uproarious happiness in a nursery, tumbling his gigantic frame about ou the floor amid the screams of delight of the small people. He treat ed them with ardent reverence aud abject forbearance, and they led him unresistingly captive. Our class day came around at last— the longest and loveliest day of sum mer—with its 'spreads' in the men's rooms, it dauciug on the College tireen its illuminations in the evening, and its various other diversions. Miss Capel was there, and beyond doubt she was, in appearance at least, nearly all that Frank had declared her to be. But for my own part, while recognizing the bewitching brilliance of her face and manner. I found her slender lips too satirical and her clear brown eyes too unsympathetic to command my entire fealty She was one of these women who, as a bare return for con descending to exist in the presence of a mau, demand from him a devotion scarcely distinguishable Irom slavery. She was witty, rapid and at once sub tile and daring. There was in her, I fancied, more of intellectual apprecia tion of passion than of passion itself. She seemed to think that the proper place for her arched foot was on the neck of the rest of humanity. She Lad never been opposed, much less rebuffed or humiliated ; she expected that your eye would fall before hers. Her figure was tall and lithe, and no bly proportioned, graceful, erect aud alert. But I was brutal enough to think that some of the ear-boxing which she had doubtless administered to her slaves at home might have been wholesomely returned to her own de fiant head. Fred Belton, on the other hand, considered her 'divine,' and 'squired her about almost inveterably ; she accepting his homage in good part, and laughing with him, or at him, quite affably. For several hours he was a general object of envy. At length, catching eight of Camlion, he whispered a few words to his beauti ful companion, glanced at our serene Hercules, and she nodded her head. A moment later he had been brought up and presented. 'See you again in half an hour in Harvard hall,' said Belton, and was off, chuckling to me, 'We've cooked old Camiiou's goose for this time, at all events.' Perhaps be had, though not in the way he imagined. What induced Miss Rosalind absolutely to lay herself out to captivate Camlion of all men ? Was it from a subtile feminine perception that no woman had yet won bim, when yet he was worth any woman's winning? Was it, perhaps, that she was really impressed by something in the man's noble simple nature that re vealed to her possibilities she had uever till then suspected? Or was it a mere whim, because she was weary of being worshipped, and wanted to have the novel sensation of finding her self on the soliciting side ? I cannot say ; but, at all events, she did it— how effectually and lastingly no one knew until years afterward. Mean while, it may be remarked that she and Camlion did not make their ap pearance at Harvard hall, where Fred waited for them until his patience was exhausted. Ou the contrary they kept together by themselves all the rest of the day and evening; aud it was not until the illuminations were over, and most of the merry-makers dispersed, that Belton came across them wander ing arm-in-arm under the trees at the outskirts of the college grounds. They j met his rather discomfited greeting ; composedly. 'I thought you two must have de-1 camped for good !' he exelamed, with a reproachful look at the lady. 'You i know. Miss Capel, you were engaged to dance the first waltz with me at the hall, and afterward to come to mj spread, and ' 'I tound better employment,' inter- i rupted Miss Cadel, with a glance of superb insolence. Her white bands, which Belton no ticed were ungloved, were clasped over Camlion s mighty arm, and now she looked up at him in the bright moon light, with what seemed to Belton an expression of secret intelligence. Cam lion bent toward her aud said some thing; but in so low a tone that Bel ton did not catch it. Miss Capel then turned to the latter and demanded brusquely whether he knew where her brother was. 'I came to escort you to him,' was Belton's reply. She allowed her Lands lingeringly to leave Camiiou's arm ; they confronted each other for a moment; their eyes meeting. 'Don't forget, she said to him at length, almost in a whisper. 'I shall be there,' ho answered, lift ing his hat .as he spoke. Aftvr smnber pwwe ete twroi away from him slowly and beiran to I movp toward the college, quite j in<r Belton, who nevertheless walked beside her. lie addressed several re marks to her, to which she vouchsafed no answer whatever. At last, being piqued, he said : ! 'Well, Miss Capel, I hope you've en joyed your visit to Harvard and the men you've met here.' 'I have met on'y one man here,' she replied, facing him imperiously. And this was all he got from her that even ing. Next morning Camlion was not at breakfast, but some hints of bis advent ure of the previous evening leaked out, and Helton had to sustain a good deal of ehajr about the manner in which he had been "cut out.' As for Miss Capel, it was known that she was staying with her bn>th-r and father at the Tre mont House in Hoston After break fasting, curiosity or idleness carried me around to Camlion's rooms. I was surprised to find him hurriedly packing nis trunk, his usually healthy looking countenance very pale and drawn. I asked him what was the matter 'l'm going home,'he said. 'I pot a telegram this morning—something very bad has happened to my t»ther ' I muttered my sympathy. Presently be resumed : 'You were introduced to —to Miss Capel, I think ? Will you see her before she goes, and tell her— say I would have come if it had been possible ; a jd —I hope I may see her again some day ?' I promised, wondering, and I would do what he asked, and soon alter I bado h m good-bye We did not meet again fur some years. When I called on the Capels to deliver his message, thev were not in, and I did not liavr another opportunity ol discharging mv commission. In the course ot a few days the newspapers contained the in formation that, something having gone wrong in the banking house of which Camlion's lather was manager, the lat ter had committed suicide. 'By Jove!' exclaimed Fred Belton, when he heard the report, 'I almost wish it had been me! Dear old Cam lion !' When Camlion and I found ourselves together again at the outbreak of the war, be was much matured in appear ance, though his boyish simplicity and gentleness were unchanged. I have heard, in a vague way, that he had de voted himself, not without success, to paying off the liabilities which his un happy father had incurred. Hut con tact with men and the world, aud the hearty preoccupation of his struggle to atoue for the sins of the dead, instead of embittering him, and brought his strong nature a more cheerful trarne; and his qu et geniality made his con.- panionship i»ore than ever delightful to me. hut once, when I asked him, half jocularly, whether he had no thoughts of getting married, he looked at me very gravely, and answ-ered, in his deep straightforward voice : 'I never met but one women whom I could have married, and I gave her up long ago. Do you remember Miss Capel ?' This led to my telling him how his message had failed to reach her; and the intelligence seemed to produce a great effect upon him. He murmured to himself several times. 'That may have been the reason,' and thereafter became totally uncommunicative on the subject. Ido not know whether Fred Belton ever heard ot this conversation; but tor my own part the stirring events that were daily happening arouud us soon put it out of my head. As I began by saying, we were cn cani|H-d on the Rapidan river, just be fore that terrible series of battles in the Wilderness which ushered in the close of the rebellion. Meauwhile, there was an ominous quiet in our neighbor hood ; the only exception being a rath er annoying one in the shape of a sharpshooter on the Confederate side of the river (which was there about 300 yards wide), who unerringly picked off any one of our men who ventured to show so much as his elbow on the Federal bank. As he liad established himself opposite the only spot in a couple of nliles where it was practica ble to water our cattle, his presence was particularly inconvenient, and we expended an apparently disproportion ate deal of trouble in our efforts to dis lodge him, but nothing hud any effect. As il -'uck would have it there wi re 110 guns available at this point; and it was in vain lhat we peppered the place whence the deadly shots proceeded, with our rifles. Every day several valuable men were lost, until at last the question : What was to be done ? be came a serious and pressing one. The unknown marksman never was known to miss ; and all that any of us ever saw of him was the pnff of smoke from the muzzle of his weapon. une arternoon ITOII nciton came to my tent (I was surgeon to our com pany) in a state of «uch manifest dis composure that ut I thought eith er the Colonel had been killed or the mysterious sharpshooter captured. It turned out tu be quite another matter, however. 'What do you think ?' he be .ran, in an excited undertone 'Whose In use d<> you suppose is a mile off there, on our left?' And without giving me the time to biizard a guess he went on: 'The Cipels,' as sure as you are there. And whom do you suppose I saw? Miss Rosalind herself, as I'm a living sinner ! She rode up on horse back, just as I was palavering at the front door for provender. By Jove, she's more divinely handsome than ever! And, oh, my wipr, didn't she give me a rating though ! Whew !' 'What did she scold you about ?' de manded I, amazed. 'For being a Virginian, and fitfhtinjj on the Northern side. I tell you she made me feel like; a boru sneak and blackguard. A little more, ami I be lieve I should have ratted a*rain, and joined the Johnny Rebs. 'lf I were a man.' said she. 'I would make it my business to catch such creatures as you, and hansr you !' It's my opin ion, if a few hundred women like her were to enlist on the Rebs' side we would be thrashed out of our boots in ft month But luckily there is not another woman like <ior no the planet.' 'You'd iaim iwk uvt> vr slw'tt make a conqutst. of you in more ways than one,' said I. laughing. 'By the way, this news would probably inter est Cainlion. Does he know?' 'No; and I don't mean to tell him,' replied Beltor rather sharply, and after sitting l a few moments longer he got up and l*ft me in apparently no very good humor. That same evening, however he ap {•eared again, this time in a preoccupied mood, and with his pipe in his mouth. The conversation presently turned upon the ever-active sharp-shooter, and after a few remarks had passed, Belton suddenly •I've made up my mind to kill that fellow, and I have thought of a way how it may be done. 1 guess I'm as good a shot as l.e is and if I can get si-jrht of as much as a square inch of him, he's settled !' He then went on to unfold to me his scheme, which appear ed feasible, though there were certain obstacles in the way. After wehadt 1 - . ussed it for a while, he said: 'I)o you know why I want to shoot him?' 'From patriotic motives. 1 trust,' w as my reply. 'That's very weli so far as it goes ; l»ut there's something else. I believe I know who he is—or what ho is, at all events. I believe he's the man whoiu Rosalind Capel means to marry. From something she said to-day I'm certain she knows him, and that there's something more than ordinary between them. Aud I don't intend that she shall marry him if I can help it.' I did not much like this attitude of Helton's, and I told him so ; hut he took my strictures in such ill part that for the present I julged it best to say no more. Plainly, ho was in love with Miss Ca •. I devoutly wis* ed that she was our, c»J the way. but before break- Cast time next morning i was destined to hear of hera-jain. It was ab >ut the honr of sunrise when Cainlion, who had been out on picket during the night, entered my tent, his face flush ed, and his blue eyes kindled with re pressed excitement. '1 have seen Miss Capel.' he said, going to the point at once, as his cus tom was. 'There was an alarm at my outpost two hours ago, and one of my men fired. We heard something fall, went out, and found a rider entangled with his horse, which was shot dead. I knew her in a moment though she was in man's clothes—a blouse and high boots. She had lost her way, and had stumbled on us in the darkness. Their house is near here, she says. It was a narrow escape ; if she had been killed— I could not have borne it! I wish this war was over.' 'Was she armed;' I inquired, feeling more uneasy than I cared to coufess. 'No. Why should she, poor jrirl ? She lad been to see wome friends of theirs somewhere up the country. I gave her a man to see her safe home., He had spoken the latter sentence in a low voice ; now he looked suddenly up and said, with the deepest emphasis, 'I would give my life to know that she loves me still as I love her! She did love me once I There's no other women in the world forme.' 'You must bear in mind that she's a red hot rebel,' I ventured to remark. 'On the contrary, she's m >re than half inclined to our side,' returned Camlion eagerly. 'She told me almost as much. In her heart she loves tho Union best.' This unlike assertion increased my misgivings tenfold; but before I could make up my mind what to say I was summoned to attend another victim of our mysterious enemy on the opposite bank. The man was mortally wound ed ; but before he died he was able to state that he had seen hi» executiouer, a young fellow with a straw hat and a dark blue jacket or shirt, who parted aside the bushes and looked across at him, the smoking rifle iu his hand. 'lf anvoue with a good aim had been with me,' added the poor chap, 'we'd had him potted then, sure!' They were his last words. But it was not the first time the terrible sharp shooter had been said to have shown himself under similar circumstances; and it set nie thinkingagain of Helton's scheme of the night In-fare. At 5 o'clock that afternoon the offi cers and ruMi-rommissioned officers of our company were summoned to meet the Colouol ; I was also present. As i anticipated, it was B lton's scheme that was the subject of discussion ; the long and short of it as follows : A volunteer was to be found to show himself on the bank and take the ene my's lire. Belton meanwhile was to conceal himself close at hand, and as soon as the 'young fellow in the straw hat' peered out of his ambush to see the effect of his shot, Belton was to put a Minnie ball through his head. There were only three things that might in terfere with the successful prosecution of this plan; the lack of a volunteer pre pared to meet almost certain death; the possible omission on the enemy's part to reveal himself and finally, the chances that Belton might, after all. miss his aim. Nevertheless the Colonel gave his consent that the thing should be tried, in default of any better sug gestion ; and the following morning was appointed for the experiment. At 6 o'clock 1 saw Camlion leave his tent and set off in the direction ot our left. I had already noticed Belton heading the same way about a quarter of an hour previous; and putting this and that together, I awaited the issue in some susj>ense. Butl)efore7 o'clock Camlion returned, passed me with a strange look on his face and without returning my greeting, and immedi ately re-entered his tent, where, as was afterward inferred, he must have spent a great part of the uigut in writing, and arranging some papers. What had happened (as nearly as I eao judge from subsequent developments) was this: He had started with the intention of calling on Rosalind Capel, at her house. The way lay through a woods; but just before emerging from it into the open urround in fro it of the house, be saw a man and woman stand ing Iwneath the shade of some trees about fifty yards away. The man was Belton, the woman Rosalind. Belton was apparently speaking eager'y and excitedly, Rosalind occasionally reply briefly and. moving hen bead as if iu ttwvau Alter a uiiouto or two ik>l- 4DVEUTININ« KATES, Cue square, one insertion. tl; each subee ijuent uisertiou, 6<i cent*.

Tho next moment he had drawn her to his breast and kissed her face passionately and re l peatedly, she not resisting. When | Cainlion saw this a hoarse cry broke froiu him, and he strode forward a step with fire in his heart There he stopped ; a cold and torpid feeling came over him ; he turned about, and, slug gishly at first, then more rapidly, made his way back to the camp. A little before noon next day Cam lion, Helton, and myself, and another man. Hay don by name— a reckless, daredevil fellow, who had volunteered for the post of danger on the occasion —moved silently and cautiously down toward the fatal spot ou the river's brink. The adventure was kept a strict secret, for since the night previous there had been whispers of treachery in the camp, and we knew not where to look for the traitor among ns. It was of course, indispensable to the success of our plau that the sharpshooter should have no suspicion of there being more than one person'in the neighborhood. Keeping headfully behind cover, we crawled alousr. and at length lay hidden in the l>ush<*s a few yards from the place. Then Canrtvon, with Haydon in his charge, clipped a little way down toward the left, until \bey were con cealed from sight by th» intervening shrubbery. Helton got rifle in readiness, and I made my preparations to do all t bat could l»e done for Kaydon, as soon as the enemy's bullet had svruck him. When I last caught si<rht o f the poor feliow there was a drop about the corners of his mouth, and a yellow pal lor in his cheeks which showed that he was not insensible to the gravity of the situation. But Cainlion had taken care to bring a flask of brandy along with him, and a qniet, steady cheerfulness of demeanor that was perhaps a better cordial still. Left to ourselves, Belton and I bad I nothing to do but to wait aad we did wait for what seemed to us many intol erab.e minutes. Tbe river lapsed smoothly aud silently by, a bird skim med over the surface ; a breath of wind rustled the leaves over our beads. I Derail to fear lest the suspense should make Belton,s band unsteady. Just then a half-smothered exclamation reached our ears from the direction of our unseen companions, and almost simultaneously with it the sound of a heavy step passing from the bushes to the open margin of the stream. The tune was come. Belton crouched with rifle at his shoulder ; our eyes were fastened on the opposite bank. Sud denly a white puff of smoke leaped forth—a sharp flat report like the crackiuif of c. whip; then the low, un mistakable thud of a bullet striking its quarry. The stricken man staggered and fell, still out of our sight, could we have had eyes for him then. But all depended upon our absolute iramo, bility during the next few moments. The white smoke drifted down to wind ward. Before it h<id passed away I saw the figure for which we were lying in waitemerjre quietly from its covert •m the other gjde and stand revealed. At the same instant the bang of Bel ton's rifle rent the stillness, yet I bad time to remark somethiujr inexplicably familiar in that alert, graceful form— something not compatible with its blue belted blouse and high boots. And what happened next? To me it seemed like an ugly, tumultuous dream. I re member leaping down through the bushes to the water's edge. I remem ber seeing Ilaydon, alive and unhurt, supporting Camlion's dying head on bis knee, while he tore open the front of his uniform, and disclosed the shirt stained with blood. I remember Bel. ton, with ghastly face and sobbing breath, tearing loose the painter of a small skiff that was moored dose at hand, and putting off with frantic haste across the stream. And I kuovv—but how can I teli—that be was going to fetch the body of the woman he loved, and whom he bad slain. For the fa mous sharpshooter ot the was Rosalind Capel. She was still living when they brought her in, bnt she had been hit mortally in the right side aud was fast bleeding to death. Hut she smiled as we lifted her out. nnd her voice, though vt rv faint was distinct and composed. 'Lav me by Captain Caiulioa she said. 'J shall like to lie lteside him. Had you no more worth'ess man in your army, but you must lime me with a man like him ? 'I was the one you were to have bad,'said ilaydon, 'but at the moment the captain fluuj? me down and went forward himself. It was too late to help it then. God knows lam sorry !, aud he burst into tears as he said it. Rosalind smiled strangely and mov ed her band until it touched Camliou's. 'Captain Camlion acted like the hero be always ways, she said, now almost inaudibly- 'I loved him—never any one else—never you, you double trai tor!' she added,, turning her darkening eyes on Belton, who knelt in voiceless despair before her. 'Last night you sold your adopted country for a kiss.' Her eyes half closed for a moment and she breathed stertorously. She opened them once more, turned her face toward Camlion, and made an effort to lift his haud to her lips. I helped her to ac complish her purpose. 'Thanks!, she whispered. 'I am not fit to kiss his mouth ; but—if be were alive—l would ask his leave—And—his pardon. She did not speak after this, and in a few minutes she died very quietly. Among Camlion's papers was found a letter to Belton, explaining his object in sacrificing himself. 'You are my friend,'it"ran, 'I will not stand between you and her, now that [ know you love each other; but 1 shall never find a better time or cause to die in then this., i oor Belton ! He was acquitted by the court martial appointed to try him on the charge of having given ioforraa' tion to the enemy; but I fear there was that in bis memory which made the re mainder of his life more bitter to him than any death.
