night was close upon them ana tney
must return. Taking her hand, Gilbert
rose and led her toward the city. They
had wandered far down the canyon, and
the way led through winding paths
among great bowlders and dense woods,
but Leila knew every foot Of it, and she
guided her lovers steps.
Gilbert took Leila to her home, and
then sought his own quarters and went
to bed, too happy to sleep. He lay far
into the night looking out upon the stars
and wondering az the great bliss that
filed his soul and thinking Of the hap
py future-,a future in which every DAY
would hold her in It's golden frame and
every hour be one Of joy unspeakable.
he saw her sweet face In the darkness,
with its luminous eyes looking into his
with unspeakable tenderness and devo-
ton, and he seemed to feel again the
pressure of her hand upon his own and
her kisses upon his lips until he fell
asleep and dreamed Of her the whole
night through.

: The summer days were long and full
of idle hours in the months that elapsed
before Gilbert could make his wishes
known in the Atzlan tongue; the time
hung heavily upon his hands at times,
although when he mastered the Ian
guage he was busy indeed, and he
was then a marvel to the people, for they
rested often and long and busted them
selves little with improvements or even
repairs. Hespent many hours swinging
In the hammocks which hung from tree
to tree, hundreds of them, all over the
courts, common property, for the Atz-
lans loved ease and shade above all
things.
Many hours, too, he spent by the river,
where the white cranes walked in solemn
procession along the sands while he lay
in the cool shadows of the pinon trees
listening to the quail piping and the
wild doves amorous cooling. 1t was
near the last of July. day so warm
and sultry that the blue haze filed the
canyon, making objects indistinct and
distorted. The city's walls looked out
Of perspective, as though twisted and
warped by the heat; the air was SO still
that away up there in the woods he could
; hear voices from the city's houses, and
the bells Of silver on the cattle seemed
startingly near. The birds were all doz-

"The legends differ, even IN our fam
lily tales; some tell Of two who survived
in their canoe, others n;the back of the
turtle; but the common Atzlan tale, the
one we tell the children, is nearer the
truth. It says that the people: first came
from cave in a mountain, where they
were entombed when they fled, with cat
tie and other animals. There was but a
dim light, lasting only few hours each
day, hut there were two blind men who
cheered the dull hours with flute play
ing.
Zone of these struck the roof by
chance with his flute, bringing out a
hollow sound, upon which the elders of
the tribe determined % borein that di-
rection. The flute was set up against
the roof, and the raccoon sent up the
tube to dig way out, but he could not.
Then the earthworm mounted and bored
until he found himself on the outside of
the mountain surrounded by water; this
water soon flowed off, leaving only mud.
The worm returned to theicave, and the
raccoon went up into thelmud, sinking
into it midleg deep, as the marks on his
fur show to this day.
"The mud dried away, and the animals
began coming up from the cave. This
took several days; then came the men.
When they were under ground they
spoke one tongue, but when they came
forth they had many languages. The
earth wan then very small; the light
was as scanty as it had been below;
there was no heaven, no sun, no stars.
So a couneS was held and a committee
appointed to make these. They made
the heavens and set the stars in patterns
of bears, birds and such things, but a
wolf rushed in and scattered them about
as they now lie. This is the legend" !" said
Iklapel, "and it conceals the truth in its
mythical language.
"As have said, mankind took refuge
in caverns, but they were all, according
to our records, destroyed with the ex-
ception of two. Some lived to see the
earth swept with water and covered
many feet deep with mud and then with
ice. They had no food, and they de-
goured each other until they were exter-
minated.
"But far, far in the south, where the
fire and stony rain and the floods were
less severe, there survived two people,
the progenitors Of the Atzlan race-a
white man and red woman. In q canoe
they came here from the sea, and they
built new cities and populated the earth.
But it took many ages to do this, and
the people have forgotten their origin,
but as they had existed in darkness for so
long. when the sun returned they wor-
SHIPPED it and have continued to do 80
ever since, ard have made the serpent
their god of evil since thatiaay when,
filled with terror. they saw the sun swal-
lowed up.
'Not only single, kingdom was de-
stroyed, but half the world. !" continued
the priest. "All mankind was believed
to have been swept away in the dire
catastrophe, and although we know that
some were spared they were left desti-
tute and wretched,, becoming savages

S The voice came from window almost
above hisshead, but he coulds see nothing
from where he stood. He walked away
TO distance, and turning just as the
song died away he saw her lovely face
fora moment as she looked down into
the green court.
Their eyes met for an instant, and the
blood rushed into her cheeks as she drew
herself quickly back. He stood looking
toward the window for awhile, then
turned and slowly walked away. She
was watching him from behind shell
tering growth of window plants, when
her brother Kulcan entered the room,
and following her gaze saw Gilbert
crossing the court He walked to the
window and stood there until Gilbert,
obeying an uncomfortable impulse,
turned, and seeing Kulcan he waved his
hand to him. He realized that the fair
girl was Kulcan's sister, and he resolved
10 see her frequently, for she had pro-
duced upon him an impression and ex-
cited emotions both new and strange.
He wandered about the city with his
thoughts full of her and her sweet face
coming ever before him as he unused
for an hour or more, recalling her look
and the expression upon her face, her
graceful carriage and figure, until it
seemed as though he had known her for
wears

: calling them by name from a distance
in order to show them the miracle the
. god had wrought, there was great re.
ioicing, for the venerable priest was
loved by them all. Since the death Of
K1lcan's father, who had been the gov.
ernor, Klapel had exercised supreme
: authority in the city by virtue of his
priestly Office. The Office Of governor,
which tine early historians of Mexico
confounded with thatof king in the case
of Montezuma, was an elective and not
hereditary dignity, the incumbent being
chosen by the council of chiefs at stated
periods.
The governor had been dead for nearly
!. q year, and although his son was favor
ably regarded by the council the cleo
ton had repeatedly been postponed by
the Vaccinations of Chalpa, who al
though not possessed of sufficient polia-
cal strength to gain the Office himself
caused the delay in the hope of increas-
ing his influence and ultimately defeat
ing Kulcan. The removal of Iklapels
affection was blow to Chalpa's ambi-
ton, as it enabled the old priest to min
gle among the chiefs and help Kulcan's
candidacy, and his was the only face
which showed no pleasure when Iklapel
appeared.
The news of his cure soon spread
through the city, and crowds surrounded
him as he went about with hearty con-
gratulations.
In his walks about the city and out
side it's precincts Gilbert found a great
variety of cultivated plants. Cotton and
maize, he observed, were the staples,
while there was produced a goodly guam
tity of peas, beans, turnips, onions, to-
matoes, rhubarb, currants, rawberries,
gooseberries and fax and wild tobacco,
all denoting the fecundity of the region.
It was while wandering about a few
days after his arrival that he again
caught glimpse of the beautiful face
that SO filed his thoughts, and it was
truly in the hope of seeing Leila. once
more that he took occasion to walk about
the city so often.
Late one afternoon he stood watching

piece Of willow with his blunt stone
knife, making little progress until Gil.
bert stepped up to him, and taking his
pocketknife cut the wand through with
one stroke. While he was enjoying the
surprise depicted upon the mans face o
voice, soft aud musical, broke upon the
air in tender song. So sweet was the
melody and so full of sincere feeling
that Gilbert seemed toknow its mean
ing, although Of course he knew not the
words. 1t was long afterward that he
translated its simple wording and set
the sad and plaintive air down in mu-
sical terms:
What care we if the year grows old
And autumn's days are feeting by2
The fire Of love will ne'er grow colo;
Its ashes in our hearts ne'er lie
Il To choke its fame, to choke its flame.
The racing hours bear not away

A Discussion of Its Behavior at Chancellors-
Vile.
MOL. HAMLIN, see, has been out
for scalps in relation to the be-
~ havior OF the Eleventh Corps. Now,
will Col. Hamlin give rs the roster
of the regiments which composed 1T, and
their previous service and length of service
before being engaged with the enemy in the
Wilderness /; how many were original three
years men OF 1861 how many nine-months
men; how many two-yesrs men, etc, so
that we can get an intelligent comparison of
service and length of seasoning before they
met the redoubtable Jackson?
Having enlisted in 1861, April 25, and
serving with the Army of the Potomac for
three years, under Mcclellan, Burnside, Pope,
Hooker, Meade, and Grant, feel that can
from memory and the consensus OF opinion
of soldiers at that time give you the minds
of the men of that day and date.
In the first place, 1t is fact that the
Eleventh Corps ran, and were very seriously
broken, in the Wilderness.
The second fact was that the officers and
men competent to judge at that time did
not condemn the rank and file of that corps,
but did condemn Gen. Howard and his
subordinates for not exercising due diligence
III the lice % Jno enemy, especially aS bnat
wing of the army was in the air; and no
soldier of to-day would call himself a soldier
Of caliber who did not know what was in
his front for at least two miles.
Another fact attested to by men and officers
is that that disaster was retrieved by the
old Third Corps and so much of the other
corps which took part in the formation Of
the new lines.
l would ask Col. Hamlin what that ter
rife cannonading was the night of the I'd of
May, between 10 and II o'clock? And if he
really thinks that the Third Corps at that
time was-as weak a corps as the Eleventh in
morale and discipline?
Adit-Gen. Dan Packard, of Gen. David A.
Russells staff, told me that Gen. Chas. Devens
said he had rather have his old brigade of the
7th, 10th and 9th Mass. and I'd Il. /. and
Both \. Y. than the whole division of SOL
diers he commanded in the Eleventh Corps.
The whole fault of that surprise came from
the Commanding Generals temperament and
the corps Generals inefficiency and con tempt
of information given him by his subordnates
in command. Gen. Howard was a fine man,
but he wasn't Napoleon.

that battle, or series of battles, in the Wilder

GERS. Aa rode up and took my place in
the escort l heard the General say:
" Is this ali l have left of all those we
started out with this morniug?"
few minutes afterward, while expecting
the appearance of the enemy in pursuit, we
noticed a solitary blue-coat ride out from
the town towards us. Every body admired
his nerve riding away from the enemy so
leisurely. We watched him across the fields
until he rode up to the General, made his
salute, and said: General, Maj. Way
wishes to know how long he shall hold the
town."
What town."
"Why, that town over there Orange
Courthouse" replied the man, who, by the
way, had 1st Mich. Cav" on his cap.
The General looked rather bewildered for
a moment, until the man volunteered the
Information that after the head of the COL
umn had got demoralized and out of the
way the rebs had rushed into the town,
and when Maj. Way, at the head of the 1st
Mich. Cav, had charged down the road he
took them completely by surprise, and so
our folks had captured the town and a lot OF
prisoners, and were now waiting for orders
Ii was worth a small fortune to watch the
Generals face; he seemed to grow two
inches taller and expand in proportion.
The wrinkles and worried look departed
from his face.

back track toward camp with our heads up,
anxious to get back and tell Of our victory
