get that quality for which she ought to
have been most priced seemed the one
which made least noise in the world;
and this was her devoted duty to her
father. She was his only child-tho
child of his old age, the idol of his
heart, and the lamp of his life. But
still he was a cruel father; for, in re-
turn for her duteous affection, he had
determined to wed her to a man she
had never seen, while he knew that
her heart was another's.
The Lord of Ormlsdale was the son
Of his ancient friend, and the possessor
of broad lands in a distant part of
Scotland. The two old men had sworn
to each other that their children should
be united. but ere this pact, the youth
had been sent abroad to be initiated III
the art of war-an art but too much
practiced in his native country at that
time; for be it known that our peer
less beauty bloomed in the fifteenth
century, wnen the feuds of the Scot
fish nobility were frequent and dead
ly. Much was brulted abroad of the
goodly person and brave qualities OF
the young earl, but of this Lady Isabel
had no opportunity of judging, for
never, as has been told, had she seen
him. She had, however, but too often
seen his cousin Roderick and to him
was her heart devoted. 1t was true
he had neither title, land nor vassals,
but he was a handsome, a noble and
a gallant youth and he had knelt at
her feet, confessed his love, and swore
eternal constancy; and though, when
she thought of her father, she turned
c0ldly away, it was but to treasure his
image in her heart, and to weep most
bitter tears at the hapless fate which
fdoomed her to wed another.
Roderick, by and By, went away to
foreign land, distraught by his pas
sion for the Lady Isabel; and the time
was long, and he returned not, and
none spoke of him, or seemed to think
of him, save his disconsolate love. But
it was not so, for the old baron loved
him for his worth and manly bearing;
and when he saw his daughter droop-
ing her head like a lily, he, too, was
unhappy, and repented him of his rash
VOW, though he would rather have
sacrificed his own life, and hers. too,
than have broken his oath.
But now the time was at hand when
the sun was to shine upon the 10Th
birthday of the baron's daughter, and
multitudes were invited to his castle
20 celebrate the festival with mirth
and revelry. Many were the seasons on
which he had thrown wide the castle
gates and welcomed numerous guests,
and ample the hospltable provision no
had made for them; but never, during
his life, or that of his forefathers, had
.here been such doings as now. While
hecatombs of sheep and oxen bled on
the occasion, with wain-loads of deer,
wild and tame fowl, and other crea-
lures, every country seemed to have
been taxed for fruit and other deli
cacies, and wines of the richest seemed
by the quantities provided to be in

FORT MoNRoE, July Eve have changed
our home since my last letter and have moved
up to the pines, where the mortar batteries
are located. The campis pitched in regular
pine woods and the ground is covered with
leaves and pine needles, and since the soil Is
nothing but sand we are not allowed to re-
move this top coat, as the sand would be up
to our knees In few days from the number
of feet which are constantly running around.
We cannot have any drills except extended
order as the trees are SO numerous that the
movements by companies cannot be executed.
| am convinced that the boys like this place
much better than they did camping along the
moat down at Old Point, as they can dress or
rather go undressed more comfortably as
there are very few visitors who are brave
enough to walk from the fort up here and
there is no other way for them to get up,
unless they manage to catch the small dummy
engine which is used to carry material for
building the entertainments of the fort, and
then 1t takes pretty steady nerve to ride
upon it.
The box which the ladies Of Bel Air have SO
kindly sent to the men, was received in good
condition and the men enjoyed 1t more than
anything they ever had, and all expressed
their gratitude to the ladies for their attention
and theughtfulness.
The fourth passed very quietly with US up
in this camp, and absolutely nothing would
nave happened, naQ II not been Tor quite
eloquent speech given by Mr.. Hugh W. Ram
say on America, it's infancy, and it's future,
which was responded to by Lieutenant w. &.
Rouse.
In the evening most Of the men went to
Buck Roe Beach where they had fire works
and bathing. The members Of Co.'S. ID and
organized base ball club and played game
with the Hampton club, and as usual the
Msrylauders vera victorious for the score was
five to one in our favor.
The ground at Old Point which was occu.
pied by the second battalion before we moved
up here, is now just covered with large hospi-
tai tents, for this place is to be made the
hospital for the wounded in the South, and
the Yale is expected today and on board her
there lie supposed to be about 800 wounded.
The Lake Boat Argonaut which lie submar-
inc vessel is lying on the qusrtermsster's
wharf and the supposition is that 1t will be
given trial to see whether 1t can be used to
render the mines useless.
Lieutenant Rouse left here on the Fourth
for his home Bel Air on a furlcugh. He
will return in few days.
From present outlooks 1t will not be great
while before we are sent to the front, and
think we will go in the next ten days as we
are to get new guns this week, and the third
battalion arrived this morning and we expect
to be sent as soon as we can get away, but
all OF us are anxious to get in active service,

se,son q Co. BROKERS Report.

Wheat has been cratic during the past
week, selling up and down with much irregu-
larity. The decision of the French govern
ment to place duty on wheat caused lower
markets, while damage reports all over the
country has caused buying and covering OF
shorts. 1t is the general belief that the crop
will not be as large as expected. Attn same
time the foreign markets are weak and lower
with small demand for our wheat. The area
of wheat in America, France, Italy and the
United Kingdom has increased between six
and seven million acres over last year, owing
70 the high prices prevailing about planting
time. In England the crop will be large. In
France reports Of rust are plentiful, but a
large crop is assured. Prospects in Russia
are good Italy reports good average, also
Germany.
Corn was quiet and weaker during the past
week. with little business done either way.
Oats follow corn closely, the range Of prices
being small,
Provisions were dull and without noticeable
features. Hogs continue to come in large
numbers, guilty good while prices has varied
but little.
