you'll be as right as ninepence in no time at

The hot, strong spirits nearly took his
breath away, but it brought the color back
to his cheek.
"Tellme where Iam?" he said, in stronger
tones.
"You're just wild the flower Of the Union
army, darlin'-wld Meagher's Irish brigade;
so shut your eyes an go to sleep wild quiet

"Are already in the hands of General
Burnside" said a tall, weather-beaten OIL
GER, who entered the tent at this moment,
before whom the kind-hearted soldiers with
drew with respectful obeisance.
So Harry slept.
In the morning when he awoke the sun
was well on the horizon. The tent was
empty. Beside his cot lay an infantrymans
uniform, which some kind hand had put
there to replace his own bedraggled clothes,
which had doubtless been taken some
where to dry, and on box can Of cold tea
and some bread and meat. He ate and
drank, dressed and rose refreshed.
I A beautiful panorama met his view as he
stepped from the tent into the open. Before
him lay the River Rappahannock, and on
hill beyond the town of fredericksburg.
He saw the dense masses of the Union
troops crossing pontoon bridges in long
gray lines; he saw the Confedorates swarm
ing behind a low stone wall, while the
heights above were crowned with artillery;
and he burned to have a share in the glcry
of the impending battle. AT any rate he
could not stand still and look on, so he hur-
ried down to the bank Of the river. He had
hardly reached the spot than General Burn
side and his staff pressed by him. Taking
the smallest detail in at a glance, he turned
to Harry and said in sharp, severe tones:
''You, sirl Why are you not with your
regiments Forward, at the double quickw
The die was cast. Harry fought that day
at Fredericksburg.
Never in the history of war was more
noble devotion nor more pitiable carnage
seen. Again and again the Union troops
hurled themselves against that terrible
stone wall and again and again, like the
forked lightning Of u thunder-cloud, the
cannons belched their fury on them. Still
they fought and fell, and with wild cheers

| face the entire Confederate forces on the
old battlefield OF Bull Run, when, over
whelmed by numbers, his shattered troops
broke In confusion for Washington.
On the 10Th day Of September, when the
leaves OF the trees were already beginning
to be tinted with scarlet, Harry Winthrop
found himself in command of a scouting
party, feeling Lees lines. The afternoon
was well advanced, and the horses heads
Lad been turned towards the Union camp,
when the young Lieutenant, thinking he
heard the clatter of hoofs in the rear halted
his men and fell back TO reconnoiter. They
were on the Haggerstown pike, and every
instant the sound became clearer. Sud-
denly It ceased, and Winthrop, moved by
curiosity, trotted his horse TO bend in the
road which commanded distant view. A
quarter Of mile away he saw a substantial
house, with a garden in front reaching TO
the high road, and troopers horse, tied
by mis- bride TO the front gate, standing i'm
patiently paving the ground To dismount
and quietly approach was the work OF a few
minutes. Doubtless the rider was In that
house, and Harry was resolved to know
what he wanted there; and, the better TO
secure that information, he hid. pistol in
hand, behind tree close to the garden
gate.
Presently the door opened and young
Confederate officer and a girl stood in the
porch There was hurried embrace, one
long, passionate kiss, and the lady retired
indoors, while the rebel soldier hurried
down the path TO his charger; but hardly
had he touched the horses bride than Har-
ry was upon him.
Zen are my prisoner he cried, in
hoarse whisper. " One word to alarm the
inmates of that house and you are dead

" for my visit here was breach of disci-
pline-but could not help it-you saw the
provocation, and -
Harrys heart was full Of sympathy for

But Harry's limbs refused to move. With
dull groan he sank to the earth-yes, this
big, strong soldier lad-in as helpless a
swoon as ever stole the senses Of tender
schoolgirl in an oyerheated ballroom.
When he came to himself, he found that
he was lying on an army cot, surrounded
by a group Of dozen men in Federal uni

the most eloquent word-painters Of
the present age. With all Of his
gifts he is a brilliant scoffer. His
Grafton ON the late ex-senator
Conkling was a gem in the way Of
eloquence. II lacked a recognition
of the existence of a God and the
souls destiny. In closing he spoke
thus of Mr.. Conkling's death:
"Proudly he entered the darkness =
or the dawn-that we call death.
Unshrinkingly he passed beyond
our horizon, beyond the twilight's
purple hills, beyond the utmostreach
Of human harm or help--to that
vast realm of silence or joy where
the innumerable dwell"
In these words MIR. Ingersoll sets
forth the fact that he does not know
whether Death is darkess or dawn.
1t is possible that he may yet dis
cover the fact that to some people
it will be neither, but a great dis
play Of fireworks.
When Protagoras the sceptic,
whose strange caprices led him to
doubt of everything, even though
he saw or felt it, began his book by
saying, "As for the gods, whether
they are or are not, | have nothing
to say;" the magistrates Of Athens
highly resented this profane trifling
with things sacred, banished him
out of their city, and condemned
his book to be burnt by the common
executioneer. Afterwards, when ht
and his friend Pyrrho were asked
why they walked so much alone
they answered, ut was to mediate
how they might be good" Being
further asked, what necessity there
was for being good, if it were GER
tain that there is no God; they re
piled, "Itcannot be ascertained thai
there is no God; and therefore it il
prudent to provide for the worst.
The great infdel might learn
lesson from this incident.
