We that in the beginning of the action, I and my enemy: Richard Withers—be a rebel, I a federalist, he on foot, I mounted. It' xi:letters_ net why I hated him with the fiercest wrath of my nature. "The heart knoweth its own bitterness," and the details; while most painful tome, would be of trifling interest to you. Suf fice it that or.r feud was not a political one. - For ten years we were the closest friends that the same studies, the same tastes and the same aims could make us I was the elder of the two and the stron ger, physically ; comparatively friendless, as the world takes it, and had no near relatives. Young, solitary, and visionary as we were, it is hard to make you under stand what we were to each other. Up to the period of eni: estrangement, work ing together, eating together, sleeping together, t can safely say that we had not a jay or grief, not a pleasure or vexa tion that we did net share with an almost boyish siogle heartedness. One day Ohanged all. We arose in the morning dear friends•—we lay down at night, bit ter enemies. I was a man of extremes —I either loved or hated with the whole strength of aiy.beart. The past was for gotten in the present. The ten years of kindness, of congeniality, of almost wo manly tendernes.t, ware erased, as with a sponge. We looked each ether in the faee with angry and searching eyes—said but very few words . (our rage was too deep to be demonstrative) anewe parted. Then, in my solitude, I dashed my clenched band upon the Bible and vowed, passionately : "I may wait ten years, Richard With ers ! I may wait, twenty, thirty, if yon will, but, sooner or later, I swear I will have my revenge !" And , this was the Ivey we mat. I wonder if he thought of that day when he laid his baud on my bridle-rein and looked up at me with his tieacherous blue eyes. I scarcely think he did, or he could not have.given me that look. He was beautiful as a girl,—indeed, the con• tract of his fair, aristocratic face, to my own rough. dark exterior, might have been partly the secret of my former at traction to him. But the loveliness of an an g el , had it been his, would n)t have saved himfrom me then. There was a pistol in his hand, but before be had time to discharge it, I cut at him with my sword and as the him swept on like a gathering wave, I -aw him stagger under the blow, throw up his anus, and go down in the press Bitterly as I hated him, the vision of his ghastly face haunted me the long day through. You all remember how it was at Fred ericksburg—bow we crossed the river at the wrong point, and under tilat raking fire of the enemy, were so disastrously repulsed It was a sad mistake and fatal to many a brave. heath .When night fell, I lay upon the field among the dead and wound ed I was comparatively helpless. A ball bad shiveied the cap of my right knee and my shoulder was laid open by a sabre cut. The latter bled profusely, but by dint of- knotting my handker chief tightly around it, 'I nmnaged to staunch it in a measure For my knee I colld-do nothing. Consciousness did not I forsake mean& the pain was intense; but from the moans and wails about me, I judged that others had fared worse than I. Poor fellows 1 there was many a moth ,r's darling suffering there—many of my comrades, lads of eighteen and twenty, who had never been a night from home until they joined the army ; spoiled pets of fortune, manly enough at heart, but children in years and constitution, who had beets _used: to_ have every little ache and scratch compassioned with an almost' extravagant sympathy—there they .ay, -crippled, gashed and bleeding, crushed and dying,huddled-together--some where they had weakly crawled upon th - eir hands and knees—never a woman's touch to bind up their won ads, or a woman's voice to whisper gentle consolation. It was :pitch. dark ,and a cold, misers ble rain was falling upon us. The very heavens weeping over our miseries.

There was water in my , canteen—l had filled.ii i i before the last ball wee. 'By stretching] out my hand I could have given him to drink but I did not raise my finger. Yen geance was sweet. I smiled grimly to o3+- self and said down in my secret ,heart "Not a drill) shall pass his lips though he perish. I shall have my revenge." . Do not recoil with horror ! Listen how merciful God was to me. There was a poor little drummer on!the other side, a merry, manly boy of thir teen, the pet and plaything of the regi went. There was something of the Ger man in him. He had been with us from the first, and was considered one 'of the ablest drummers in thearmy. We would never march to the tap of Charley's drum again. Be had got a ball in his lungs ; and the exposure and fatigue, together with his wound, had made him light headed. Poor little child !be crept close to me in the darkness and laid his cheek upon my breast. Maybe he thought it was his own pillow ' at home, maybe he thought it his own mother's bosom. God alone knows what he thought; but with , his hot arms about thy neckand his curly head close to my wicked heart, even then swelling with the bitter hatred of my en emy, he began in his delirium to murmur,' "Our father who art in Heaven." I was a rough bearded man. I had been an orphan for many a long year; but not too many or too long to forget the simple hearted prayer of my childhodd— the dim vision of that mother,s faCe, over which the grass had — grown for twenty changing summers.-. Something tender I I stirred within my hardened heart. It was too dark to see the little face; but the young laps went on brokenly— " And forgive us our trespassed as we forgive those who trespass against Ins." It went through me like a knife-- sharper than a sabre cut, deeper than the ball. God was merciful unto me and this young child was the channei, of his mercy. --, "Forgive ns our trespasses as we for give those who trespass against tirC I had never understood the words be- fore. If an angel had uttered them, it could scarcely have been • more of ;a rove lation. For the first time, the thought that I might be mortally wounded, that death might be nearer than I dreamed, struck me with awe and horror. T e text of a long forgotten sermon was in my ears; "It is appointed unto inen once to die; and after thill the judgment?" Worse and worse. What measure of mercy could I expect, if the same was to be meted that I had meted to my enemy. The tear; welled into my eye , ' and trickled down Inv cheeks; the first; I had shed since my boyhood. I felt subdued and strangely moved. The rain was falling still; but the lit tle head upon my breast was gone. He had crept away silentl:. into the darkness. His unconscious mission was performed ; he did not return at my call Then I lifted myself with great effort. The old bitterness was ortuthed, but not altogeth er gone "Water—water"moanedßiehard With - ers. in his agony. dragged myself close to him. "God be praised !" I said with a fole 13 heart. "Dick, old buy, enemy no logger Ged be praised I lam able and willing to help yon Drink and be fiends." It bad been growing lighter and lighter in the east, and now it was day day within and day without. In the first gray glimmer of drawn, we• looked into each other's ghastly faces for a moment. the canteen was at : Richard's mouth and he drank as the fevered only can drink I watched him with moist eyes. leaning upon my elbOw—forgetting my bandaged shoulder. He grasped we with both hands Blood-stained and pallid as it was, his face was as beautiful as a child's. -Now let me speak," he said panting You liave misjudged we, Rufus • It was all a mistake. I meant to have 'spoke this morning when I grasped your--" '•For=ire me, Dick." I murmured. I felt something, warm trickle dawn my shoulder. I tainted and fell ; then all was thick darkness. * * * * * I opened my eyes. Where was I ? How odd everything was. Rots of beds stretching down a long narrow hall,bright with sunshine ; and women, wearing white caps and peitiliar dresses, flitting to and fro with a noiseless activity,which, in my t ifearful sickness, it tired me to watch. • illy hand lay outside of the coe:- era ;it was shadowy as a skeleton's.

But did they have beds in the other world ? was looking lazily at the opposite one when some one took me by the hand. A face was bending over me. I looked up into it, with a bracing heart. The golden sunshihe was on it—on the fair, regular features, the red lips, and the kindly blue eyes - "Dick ri I gasped, "where have you bean all these years ?" . "Weeks, you mean," said Richard,with the old erode. "But' never mind now. You are better, now, dear Rufus—you will live, dear—we shall be happy to gether . again." "Where am ?"

It broke upon me at once. I remem bered that awful night—l could never, never forget it again Weak as a child, I covered my face with. my hands and burst. into tears. Richard was on hit, knees by my side at once. "I was a brute to recall it," he whis pered, remorsefully ; •'do not think of it, old boy—you must not' excite yourself. It is all forgotten and forgiven." "Forgive us our trespasses as we for give those who Inspass against us !" I prayed from my inmost heart. "These words have been in your mouth night and day, ever since- you were taken," said my friend. I_ lay silent, cogitating. "Tell me•one thing, Dick ," I asked ; "are we in the North or South I" "North—in Philadelphia." "Then you :are a 'prisoner." I said mournfully, recalling his principles. "Not ,a bit of it." "What do you mean 7" Richard laughed. "I hive seen the error of my ways. I hale taken the oath of allegiance. When you are strong enough again; we shall fight side by side." "And 'the wound in your head 1 1 " I asked with emotion, looking up at his bright handsome face. "Don't mention it It healed up long ago." "And the little drummei?" Richard_bowed his bead upon my band. "He was found dead upon the field." "Heaven bless him ! They say he died praying, with his mother's name upon his lips."

When the Commissary marched by in charge of the gentleman's extra fat cattle, "Secesh," in great alarm, wanted, to know if we were not going to pay for his "gocds." "We are not, paying money, at present. to any one," blandly replied the Quartermaster "Well; but you will give rr e a receipt for them ?" -Certainly sir, here are your vouchers already made out."
