BEHIND THE CEDARS.

Soon after the sun began to descend
towards the dark forest in the west,
took my sketch book and went along
to the spots where we had seen the
white, patient face of Grace Clary.

| walked slowly on towards the spa

patrician taste which was all there was
to admire in this hard old man. At
the corner of the hedge was a little
rustic gate, admitting to the winding
walks, and shades, and arbor of the
garden. ! could but admire the fine,

leisurely for an hour, when soft step

saw one; but low sobbing on the
other side Of the hedge went TO my
heart.
l felt panied, but went on with my
sketching, praying that an over-ruling
goodness might bring peace to this sor-
row. Soon a slow step approached
down the gravel walk, and knew
that this was Nathan, and hoped that
he might pass on the other side Of the
hedge, thinking that such a circum-
stance might possibly alleviate the
grief that was sobbing there. The next
minute | wished he had not done so,
as it placed me in the very delicate po-
sition of listening to a delicate collo-'
guy, which was commenced by Nathan.

him to the carriage, and told him plain

THE NEWS.

The ball has opened at Vickburg, On Wedncs
day. the 18th inst, the mortar boats were towed
into line and commenced throwing shells into the
city. Their fire was returned brisky from the
rebel batteries After three rouds the position of
the boats was changed, and the bombardmcni was
resumed.
The action Of the mortar boats is preliminary to
the great struggle, but il may be some time before
the latter takes place. If the place can be taken
or cut of in any way than by a direct assault, it
will be done and as none Of the plans proposed
have been fairly tried ms yet, we may conclude
that the time for stormng the Notifications has not
arrived.
The town of lIopeicld, opposite Memphis has
been utterly destroyed for harboring gnerrilISs.
There are reports that another rebel invasion OF
