A sick girl fiat propped up with gush: ions, near an open window,' in the early Septemker days, while summer yet lin gered' among the green leaves and flowers with which shl had beautified the land. Her•face was most ghostly in whiteness. Far back in their. sockets lay tier eyes, which neither pain nor wasting sickness :iad been 'able to" dim. Her -shadowy hands, with their long transparent fingers, lay, one across her boson), the other rest in„ like an exquisitely cut piece of mar ble, on a purple cushion. • Not very far away from the gates of death”. • The rcad had already gone down from the sunlit plains, and was crowding in amona• b the shadowy cypresses. Not far away from the gates of death: She knew it, Cod was not afraid "It I were only a strong man !" The tremulous fife, shrill but exhilarant ; throbbing drum, changing the time in Which her heart was beating; the rever berant tread of !armed men—these were yet in her ears,' though the pageant was gone. Weak, sick, dying as she was,her soul was quizke i ned by a new inspiration "But I can do nothing," she sighed a little while afterwards, letting the white lids, with their- thick fringes,. fall over her glittering otbs". "Nothingl Aliee ?" The shut lidS flew open, and the bright eyes were in the questioner's face. " What can I ? I'm Lot a man.': "No You area weak, sick girl." "So weak that these poor hands cannot even knit." . "Just so weak, Alice." The voice was burdened wrtli 'tenderness. "There are sick soldiers In our hospi tals ; but I cannot .even visit them, nor do - so small a thing as hold a cup of cold wa ter to their fevered lips. "No, you cannot even do this." "I am helpless. I can do nothing. And yet I would give my life, if that would avail anything, for our country.— To me, people do not seen to be half in earnest = do not seem to comprehend the peril- in which we are involved Men talk of-business and 'gain, and women of dress and pleasure, as if no enemy • were at the gates, mad or oar destruction.

"If you could infuse your spirit into one who has they strength , to stand- tip in the face of our enemies !"

' "Yes." 1- "Into whom ?I" The answer did not came until her ,question was repeated.. Then the name 'ltifoward" was spoken.' "Ilbward.l" was evident that a pang. h'id gone through, 'her heart .Her,lids fell - iquiCkly, and her flice buried itself among the purple cushions.

For a !Ong time. soadoivino• lashes lay close upon white cheeks. The pale, thin mouth was shut. It was a sad mouth now. Was there strength enough ? Could the! sick girl beat this parting with her lover parting in. Which there was sci little promise: And do per, still than this wonti the pang. She thought of wounding and of death: Could she give that precious one to these ? Send him away by al word to encounter, in his own dear person, the terrible things of which she had read as befalling in battle ? Her weak heart shuddered. She grew faint and sick before tie images imagination wrought into alinost life-like existence. But this state passed . . - Other.' thoughts flowed into her mind, and changed the character of its creations. She did not see the dark things of Ear, but the great success that lay beyond Ihe.strife of bat ' tle•fields. ' And now was revived theold ardor of patriotism. - Up from the valley of doubt and fear she walked with firm steps, and eves fixed on the mountaintops' oeyond. She haa been, ready to give all tor her co.uutry—even her own life, if that poor offering could have availed any thing—ail but this. Now'she was equal to the last great duty. .....I am strong in Thy strength," she ssid, lifting her eyes meekly upward.— 'Take all of earthly support. I will lean upon thy everlasting aim." The shadowy - lashes no longer lay close down oven her white cheeks. The pale, thin month, shut so tightly a little while before, was parted, and the sad expression gone. Thle clear eyes looked out upon the sun sky and pleasant landscape. Her heart bean in renewed strength. "Oh, Howard!" What,a flash of joy, went over her countenance! 'The 'door had opened. and T. young man entered.

"Go.forth," she answered, "and may God give you Outrage and endurance 1" • The sick girl laid her head upon the bosom of her lover and in the enthusitqam of: the hour was ,happy. • But did' not her steps falter its she moved alonr , this new path of duty ? No. Her love of country was genuine, and the ardor that flowed from this, love no evan escent heat. For herself, she knew that her steps were daily descending to 'the river of death, and that in a very short time she would be amidst the encomfias• sing waves. Over the river faith she saw the land of . immortals and the shining ones on the bank ready to receive her soul. She :had conquered the human weakness that would held her beloved to her side,and in saintly strength given him to his country in the hour of need. How brave lelookod in his uniform ! how strong—how 'manly !I , Pride twined itself, with her :love.,Never _a word - of weakness.—never a look of ,pain—never a hindering tear. 'Bot always an inspiring strength. She ,hardly seemed to him a frail, dying woman, but a beautiful , spirit, pointing the way through danger to duty. • The time of parting came. Alice had' not,dared trust herself to think of this hour: Wcibld she have qrength for the trial ? Strength of spirit ? i Yes. But the heart would beat faster - and stronger with human emotions; and the frail body might not bear the strain. "God's love and God's strength go with you, Howard !" She tried to be calm and brave. "Be a true soldier I I shall be near you—always near you. Howard I" He kissed her over and over again.— Drew her wildly to his heart. Gave her a long look of impassioned love. Then, without utterance tore himself from the room, A messenger reached him an'hourafter wards, as he was marching to the•ptsee of embarkation,. his regiment having been ordered to the Capital. The nature of This summons was such that he obtained leave to remain. behind, and join_ regi ment .on the next day. The erdeal of parting bad heal, itits se vere for Alice. The strength that came to her was unnatural, an excitemett that consumed. When the scene was passed, thebecaine so weak and tremulous, that sho could no lOnger sit among the Cush : ions in her great arm-chair, but had to be lifted to the bed, whereshe lay with shut eyes,.and breath so low that Auot Phtebe, as she stood over her, was sometimes in doubt Whether the chest oi not.
