CHAPTER XVIII.
Here's a weapon now

- Here's a weapon now,
Shall shake a cODquering general in his tent,
monarch on his throne. Tod Play.
The morning sun bursts upon the camp of
the Southron ; and the sheen of its many
varying beams are reflected back from ham,
let of white tents, dotting the boundless
prairie. Over the large central tent was a
banner of two bars of scarlet, and a single
one of snow. 1t is the camp of the
Confederate army. In front of each
tent the bayonets CLEAN in stacks of
glittering steel. Here, you behold the parks
of artillery-and further to the right and left,
the single batteries of Napoleon guns, guard
ing in their silent grandeur the dreary waste
of prairie that spreads out on every hand.
The silence, like death, is broken by the
shrill note of the rereAe-the hum of the
awakening camp-the neigh of the war steed.
And now, like the roar of the ocean breaking
on the shore, that camp of 10000 men
wakens into life. On every side is seen hur-
rying men and battalions formed in martial
array. Here, a staff-officer, resplendent in
brilliant uniform, dashed along glittering
ranks, with sword and bayonet blazing over
their heads. Here, again, is seen
the subaltern with his file of raw re-
cruits, moulding those stalwart limbs into
machines fit for battle. Long rows of noble
horses were seen at picket, prancing and toss
ing their heads, impatient of the inactivity to
which they were subjected, or neighing over
the provender spread before them. The SOL
diers stood in groups-some engaged in
drill, whilst others formed parties around the
suffers tent or strolled about at leisure.
The day wears on. The sun is blazing far
up in the zenith; the hour of noon is upon
the stroke. In the large tent over which
waves the flag Of the South four persons are
gathered.
Let us enterl In the far corner of this
house, with its roof and walls of futter-
ing canvas, you behold military trunks and
camp equipage, piled up in a rude, indiscrimi-
nate mass. The rest of the place within forms
level grassy sod. AS we said, four persons
are gathered there.
The one on the right, dressed in the plain
suit of military gray, with sword by his side
and pistol on his hip, and his head surmounted
by blood red cap, is partisan ranger; a
man of slender build, but iron frame, not so
remarkable for his height, which is below the
medium of ordinary men, as for the indomit-
able resolution that is written upon his sun
burnt face; this is Captain Bartrelle.
Next tohim, presenting perfect contrast

from his fine forehead-his full clear eye

"You may well say that but the fact of
such force being SO near indicates something
more than mere patrol. If they were cav
airy only we could account for it, but the
presence of infantry certainly argues the ex-
istence of a supporting force very near. Do
you continue on to the camp, captain, and ad-
wise the general of the fact, while do little
additional accommodating. s
81 say, colonel" suggested Bartrelle, let
me advise the propriety of your sending for
ward some scouts on foot. You win in this
way avoid the trap fell into, if any is laid. y
"By Georgel you are right-here Captain
Wood, dismount your company and deploy
them as skirmishers, while you send half
dozen forward as scouts"
And the columns moved on, each in diff
ferent direction.
"And that is the celebrated Colonel Shelby,
is it ?" asked Zera, as the march was again
resumed.
"Yes-did you never see him before2"
"Never, he looks like brave officer"
"He is one-a drawer never set a squadron
in the field; but i am very anxious about thai
body of the enemy. So large force certainly
means mischief" and the soldier looked as il
the more he reflected on the circumstance, be
viewed it with increasing apprehension.
/ cit is probably but a picket, suggested
Zera.
"Not so, 1 tell you'll We will hear diff
ferrent report when Shelby returns"
A few hours later in the day Col Shelb,
rode into camp with the intelligence that the
forces on the hill had been reinforced by thu
arrival of an entire regiment of infantry; anC
that picket station had been established
mile nearer our lines.
None could doubt the meaning of the enem.

extended, and all made ready for the morrow

NV home stately dwelling is
With lofty srchiDg doors;
There Is carving on the ceilings high,
And velvet on the floors;
A rich and costly building,
Where noiseless servants wait.
And meath the escuteheon's gliding
None enter but the great;
But happier home Ia near In humble cottage
And / envy its sweet mistress the shadows on
her wall.
My pictures are the pride of Art,
And drawn by cunning hands;
But the painted figures never move,
Nor change the painted lands;
Before the poorest window
More gorgeous pageants glide,
Within the iOwliest household
More lfelike groups abide;
And I turn from soulless symbols, that crowd
my gloomy hall,
To watch the shifting shadows upon the cottage
wall.
My stately husband never bends
TO kiss me on the lips;
His heart is in his iron safe,
His thoughts are with his ships;
But when the twilight gathers
Adown the dusky street,
The little house wife listens
For sounds of coming feet;
And by the cleaning freight see figure tail
bend down to kiss shadow, shadow on the
wall.
NY garden palings, broad and high,
Shut in It's costly spOils,
And through the ordered paths all day
The silent gardener tolls;
My neighbours is grass plat,
With hardy buttercup,
Where chidrens dimpled fingers
Pull dandelons up;
Where on a baby's silken head all day the sun
hes
Till evening throws its shadows upon the cottage
wall.
My petted lap-dog, warm and soft,
Nsstles upon my knee;
My birds have shut their diamond eyes
That love to look for me;
Lonely watch my neighbor,
And watching can bat weep,
To see her rock her darlings
Upon her breast asleep.
Alas my doves are gentle, my dog comes at my
But there is no childish shadow upon my chamber
wall.
Ny beauty is the talk Of fools,
And by the gsslight's glare,
In glittering dress and cleaning gems,
p. know that am fair
But there is something fairer,
Whose charm in loving lies;
And there is something dearer,
The light of happy eyes.
So return triumphant queen Of the brilliant ball
To envy the sweet shadow Of the housewife on
the wall.
My earthly lot is rich and high,
And hers Is poor and low;
Yet would give my heritage
Her deeper joys TO know;
For husbands that are lovers
Are rare in all the lands,
ai And hearts grow IL for Heaven,
Moulded by childish hands;
And while go up lonely, before the Judge Of all,
A cherub troop will usher the shadow on the wall.
