I found myself among the ruins on the
floor. 'lt nv l- - ~
A smile passed over the young lady's
face; but she restrained herself at once, and
looked sorry and concerned. | loved her

an instant pain me by even appearing to
laugh at my disaster. aUtHUt a. is.

me somewhat roughly to my feet" there.
Emily that's your doing. Who but a fool
would put a stout young man into that GIN

to be sat in is an organized sham. Come,
we'll have supper. David, give my
daughter your arm. Oh, forgot-you've
not been introduced. Mr. David Elworthy,
my daughter, Miss Emily Leventon."
The supper consisted of dish of perch, a
Dutch cheese, and a jug of home brewed
ale. Nature has gifted me with tolerable
appetite, and, after our school-fare of sinewy
mutton and stringy beef, I found the fish
delicious. The malt liquor inspired me with
courage. began to feel at my ease and
ventured to examine my hosts countenance.
He was TALL bony man, with black,
straight hair, fecked with gray, and fea-
lures which, but for harshness, would have
been handsome. then glanced shily at his
daughter. She had Inherited her fathers
features; but their stern outlines were soft
ened down to the most feminine delicacy.
Her hair was chestnut brown, glossy and
abundant; her eyes were gray, her nose was
straight, her mouth full of expressions.
AS for her neck and shoulders, have since
studied statuary, and never saw any sculp-
tured forms so beautifully rounded.
Suddenly, as was gazing open mouth ed
on this lovely vision, become aware that
her father was watching me keenly. l has
tiy withdrew my eyes and directed them
to the table-cloth, bIushing like beet-root.
g Do you want any more supper, David?''
he asked, after a few moments pause.
No. sir, thank you"
'sThen take your hat, and be of"
Feeling sure that | had committed some
terrible .taUT-paS, was about to rush fro m
the room when Mr.. Leverton shouted !:
"What! won't you say good night ?''
He offered me hard dry hand to shake
l made clumsy bow to Miss Leverton
"What, David" he exclaimed ''shake
hands with the father and only bow to tn e
daughter That won't do"
Miss Leverron offered her hand The pres
sure of that soft palm sent an electric, thrill
halt-pleasureable, haf-painful, all up my
arm.
Her father then pushed me in a rough,
good humored way out of the house, and
locked the door after me- saying $50
straight home, David. No more ponderings
tonight on the river bank"

Under fhe yieIets.

Her hands are cold; her face is white
No more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes are shut to life and light;
Fold the white yesture, snow on snow,
And lay her where the violets blow.
But not beneath the craven stone,
TO plead for tears with alien eyes sE
A slender cross ofwood alone
Shall say that here a maiden lies,
In peace. beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees of hugest limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows round
To make the scorchug sunlight dim
That drinks the Prsenness from the ground
And drop their dead leaves on the ground.
When Ger their boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins call,
And ripen.ng in the autumn sun,
The acorps and the chestnuts fall.
Doubt not that she will heed them all.
For her the morning choir shall sing
Its mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice of spring,
les That trills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with its earliest cry,
When, turning round their dial track,
Eastward the lengthening shadows pass,
Her little mourners, clad in black, ..
The crickets sliding through tho grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening Ilass.
s Atlast the rootlets of the trees
Shall find tie prison where she lies,
Aua-bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms TO the skies.
So may the soul that warmed it rise
II any, born of kindlier blood,
Should ask, What maiden lies below?
Say only this: A tender bud,
That tried to blossom in the snow,
Lies wthered where the violets blow.

EqTWhen Mcclellan went to the Peninsu-
la, he had furnished to him 1853, 500 men,
not including those who reached him after
his retreat to James River. When the Pre-
sident visited him, July Goth, he had remain
but $4,000 men. The campaign had cost
78, 500 men in killed, wounded, deserters,
prisoners and discharged, and the frnits Of
this frightful waste of men were defeat and
disaster, campaign lost the invasion Of Ma
rylaud, great public gloom aud disco intent,
followed by Copperhead triumphs at the
elections, and general disloyal clanor for
disunion peace. But from tnat time to this
Mcclellan has stood high in the eyes Of every
disIoyalist he is their favorite candidate for
the Presidency. The ruin his manage
ment inflicted on the army, and the defeat no
managed to achieve secured Copperhead
victories at the polls, and nearly destroyed
the Union cause For accomplishing these
results all Copperheadism is profoundly
grateful to him, and longs for more Of his
doings And this together with his pro-
slavery principles, is the secret of his i'm
mense popularity with that organization.

This was about O'Clock At first they
wandered about, being very civil, but the
latent knavery Of their nature at length
broke loose, and they commenced an Indis-
criminate plumber OF the principal residents,
taking everything portable that was either
valuable or that their vagrant fancy craved.
They ransacked ladies' private bureaus and
trunks. turning all their little stores upside
down, and having seemingly, great deal Of
imrudent fun over the, to them, strange and
useless fnery. Dresses, undertaking,
bootees, hose, shawls, and the inevitable
crinoline, underwent dilligent search and
overhauling, and those articles their avarice
did not crave, or which were found useless,
were ripped and torn in the utter wanton-
ness of the hour the while the fearful and
grief-stricken owners looked on in SPECIFICS

Words cannot portray the truly awful

were permitted to escape the fiery element,
up the main street, you pass nothing but
smoking and sInouldering ruins, the black

business.

smoking bricks across the town, for at
least three blocks, the same utter destruction
attests the severity of the FIRE and the dla-
bollcal skill OF the incendiaries. The ruins
of the buildings fred are absolute not a
stick, not plank nor a rafter remain; even
the window sills and door-jams are gone.
The shade trees are withered, the garden
railings have disappeared, and the gardens,
themselves are covered by the de5ris of the
falling walls and out-houses. The bricks
