Evelyn Hargrave had just returned from
a walk, in the bracing atmosphere of
,the
frosty December noon.
She stood before the fire, the rich sables
unfastened from her throat, and the fresh
roves of youth and health blossoming het
round cheeks, While the soft pensive light
of some inner thought gave new brightness
~to her blue eyes.
"Do you know I've had charming 'news
while you were gonh, Evelyn!" said Jeanie
Marston, who sat in ,the sunny window,
idling over a basket of bright-colored Ber
lin wools. "Dear me! how fresh you look!
I do believe morning walke,are better than
rogue,for the complexion. But as I was say
ing,-I've something delightful to tell you—

"You know I never could guess anything
in my life," said Evelyn, smiling down upon
the childish face of the petta's cousin whose
'slender ftgaye was so different from her. own
tall; queenly •beanty.
"Weil, then, I may as well tell you at

Solemn, yet beautiful to view,
Month of my heart, thou dawnest here,
With searind faded leaves to strew ,
The Summer's melancholy bier;
The moaning of thy winds I hear,
As the red sunset dies afar,
And bars of purple clouds appears
Obscuring evety western stet.
Thou solemn month! I bear thy voices
. It tells my soul of other days,
When but to live was to rejoice,
When earth was lovely to my gaze.
0, visions bright! 0. blesed hours;
Where are 'those living raptures now?
I ask my spirit're , wertried powers,
I ask my pale and fevered brow.
Alas! for Time, and Death and Care,
What gloom,arcend,my way they fling,
Like clouds in Autumn's gusty air,
The burial pageant of the Spring.
The dreams that eacn succeeding year,
• Seemed bathed In hues of living pride,
At last, like withered leaves, appear,
And, sleep in datkness, side by side.

'Emma:
the case, Joaniei, I did not• go particularly
to devote myself 'to these Men. 1, went. to
be useful, as a nurse, wherever daty.might
call me, and duty assigned' me to that par
ticular ward! ). '
"To think how dreadfully practical she is,"
said Jeanie, With. a comical arch of her. eye
brews, "just as though it wasn't the most
'charmingly romantic thing in the world to
bind up the wounds of t hose poor privates
and sprinkle4au de cologne over those dear•
delightful officers!"
Evelyn laughed. "If you had ever been
in hospital, Jeanie, yell would perceive how
far your-fancies differ from_the prosaic real
,ity. Meantime, I have half a dozen notes
'and letters to' write; so au revoir!"
She went gayly out of the room, leaving
Jeanie to muse on her cool indifference.
"How can she be always so' cool and self
confident," thought impetuous little Jeanie
to herself. "I wonder—how I irish I knew
—if Evelyn ever was in love!"
Those words—those very identical words
—were in Captain Melford's mind at that
self-same moment, as he leaned back in the
cushioned seats of the Express train! For
he remembered those weary hours or fevered
pain when the sound of Evelyn Hargrave's
light step on the 'echoing board floor of the
Convalescent Ward had seemed like pulses
of a new life.
"Shall I call there," he asked himself.—
"I can do no loss, after her kiad care of me,
after the brittle. Yes—bang it, didn't she
evince equal solicitude for Private Mike
Higgins, who lay in the next bed? .I don't
care—l mil/ go there, and have • one more
glance into those superb eyes of berg Moth
like, I cannot be contented without scorching
my wing s in the flame of regal loveliness!"
The sort furlough glided away almost
ere the officers of the Eighteenth Regiment
were aware, and the sunset was, piling its
mausoleum ;if fire and gold on the tomb of
the brief January day, when Captain Mel
ard_sat_in-Erielyn_Harg_rave!s-draw-icg-roo
dejected and pensive, even though the pres
ence of his idol should have inspired him
with spirit and fervor!
"She don't care a straw for me," he
thought with despairing energy, "and • I'll
go back to-morrow; and get myself shot with
all reasonable dispatch ! How strange it is
that a strong man's whole destiny should
turn on the pivot of a wonun's smile I I
wish I never had seen her—l wish I had
died before she came to wash the matted,
bloody hair away from that wound on my
temples—no, I don't either Confound it,
I don't know what I do wish I"
"Miss Hargrave, might I speak to you for
a few moments?" said the housekeeper, put
ting her 'slate-cohired cap-ribbons into the
room, and Evelyn rose to attend her behest.
- She did not observe that a little golden
ornament bad become loosed from her chat
elaine and slipped to the ground as she rose.
Telford sprang td his feet to recover and re
store it, but Evelyn was gone. •
A locket of plain gold, the spring jeered
by the fall, gave way in his hand, revealing
a single lock of bright brown hair; waved in
sunny ripples an d touched with gold.—
Charles Melford's eyes dilated with strange
as he gazed on the tell-tale lock—for
knew that it was his own hair.
He turned to see Evelyn Hargrave stand
ing in the doorway with downcast lids and
cheeks burning with vivid scarlet.
"Give it to me, Captain Mefferd I" the
exclaimed passionately, "I never dreame3
that yoh would know it—l never thought
JP
But Charles Melford, armed with a new
courage, walked boldly up to "storm the eir
trenchments." What- would he' not have
done or dared, with the voiceless disclosure
of that fairly locket to urge him on.
"Evelyn," he said, taking both the flutter
ing hands in his, "you never would have, cut
that lock of hair from the Bice soldier's brow
had you not cared for him, and now I am no
longer afraid to tell you how deeply and tru
ly I have loved yeti ever since those days of
weary pain. Of all the world, Evelyn, you
are dearest and most •prized in my sight
—will you promise, one day to become my
wife ?"
"Oh, Charles. I fancied you did not care
for me—l thought it was so unmaidenly to
keep that hair, and yet—yet it was such a
comfort to me!" '
Capt. Melford's heart gave a joyful leap
under the gold army buttons that decorated
his breast—it seemed like a strange, bright
dream
Who would have thought there was such
an unwritten chapter of romance in your
Hospital experience!" laughed Jeanie Mars
ton, when captain Charles Melford *as gone,
and Evelyn cried out her mingled happiness
and sOrrowun her. little cousin's shoulderl—
"For all your stately ways, Evelyn, you're
every hit as sentimental as the worst of us."
Evelyn Hargrave did not answer,—she
only pressed closer to her breast the little
locket that held the golden shrine of Charles
Melford's hair, for somehow she felt as•if it
had been au electric link of fire between her
heart and that of the brave soldier she was
so proird to call here!
A COWARD.—AII brutes are cowards.—

soldiers to skeleton's,' and then walk about
their unarmed ranks, shooting them down
like dogs, at Washington cower! likes whip

"No, air he died poor, as I have just said
Nothing that he put his hand to ever suc

"I was with him in his last moments,"
said the other, "and thought he died rich."
"ND, he has left nothing behind," was re

"He has left a good name," Eaid one, "and
that is something.
"And a legacy of good deeds, that were

declaration; "richer than the millionaire,

neral did you say ? No, my friend it was
rather a triumphant procession ! Not the

attendant on the translation of an angel.—
Did he not succeed ? Why, his whole 'life
was a series of successes. In every conflict'
he came off victor, and now the victor's
crown is on hie brow. Any grasping, sel
fish soul, may gather in money, and !earn the
art of keeping it, but not one in a hundred

Edmonson has conquered, and step forth

no; he did not die poor, but - . rich—rich in

tions. And his heirs have an interest in the
administration of the estate. A large pro
perty has been loft, and let them see to it
that they do • not lose the precious things
through false estimation and ignorant depre
ciation."
"Yon have a new way of estimating the
wealth of a man," said the one who had first
expressed sympathy for the deceased.
"Is it not the right way? There are high
er things to gain in this world than wealth

Why Men Fail., ..•
Mrs. Stowe says that people of small -in
some; if they deny 'the palate to please the
imagination, can adorn their homes, with
many gems of art. The following 'ineident
may be suggestive to many who find their
incomes inadequate to their wants:
A young merchant, who had just ' failed
in business, having spent, in four years, a
legacy of ten thousand dollars, in addition
to his profits realized, was met by .a thrifty
young mechanic, who had formerly been on
• • •, him: Durtn — the
conversation that enSued, the merchant said
to him : "How is it, Harm—that—you—have
been able - to live and.save nioneyon the small
sum which you have received for your ser•
vices, while I found it impossible to live in
my business with a good round ton thousand
dollars to back me?".
"Oh," said the mechanic, "that is easily
understood. I have lived with reference;
mostly, to the comforts and tastes of myself
and family, while You lived mostly with re
ference to opinions and tastes of others. It
costs more to please the eye than to keep the
back warm and stomach full,"
BETTER BURN TIIESI.—An old card-play;
or, who bad spent the be& part of Ma life in
this senselesti employment, bad become so
habituated to handling these bits of paste
board, that wherever be was, or however en
gaged, he would be Constantly moistening his
thumb, and involuntarily going through the,
motions of dealing out cards. If the body
had become such a slave to this amusement,
what must have been the ease of the immor ,
tal soul? .
A young acquaintance, who had just learn
ed to play, was so.elated With his first suc
cess that he went out and bought a pack of
cards. He called, or. his way home, and
showed them to the old player, who fingered
them over familiarly for a moment, andlben
returned, them, saying, "0 well, you had
better go home and burn theta."
'The young man was amazed at such ad
vice froth such a source, and it sot hi — m — to
thinking seriously Surely if any one was
competent to judge of the worthlessness of
such pursuits he was, and his opinion made
so deep an impression upon the mind of the
youth that he never played again.
