NY.
The sun was dropping out OF
sight behind The green hills, and
far away down The silver bend of

retreating troops, with now and
then the muffl,d roll of a drum or
the shrill bray of a buglc.
Old Virginia. The queen mother
OF the Sunny South, was overrun
with soldiers, devastated by fire
and sword, shaken TO her very
foundations by the thunders Of
civil war.
Colonel Moreton was far away
from bis pleasant home, in the
front ranks OF death and danger ;
but Irene, his only child still brav.

the young lady's notce--a pros.

"Stop, Dapplc, We must look 10

Darple stopped and Miss Irene
leaped lightly from her saddle,
and throwing The silken reins over
The pony's neck she went tripping
across the grounds 10 the spot
where The figure lay.
1t was tall, soldierly figure,
clad in army blue, with a pale,
worn face, and an abundance o!
curling, chestnut hair.
Colonel MOreton's daughter
looked down upon the senseless
soldier with all her woman's di.

bosom.
"Poor fellow" she murmured
laying her soft hand upon his
brow; Il wish | could help him.
The soft voice and the softer
touch called back the veterans

eyes and looked up in the young
lady's face. Great, luminous
handsome eyes they were, tina,
somehow reminded Irene of hel
brother Toms eyes; and Tom was
down in the trenches in front ol
Richmond. The compassion il
her heart stirred afresh; she
