It almost broke 'my heart to do it ; but delay was weak, deceit was wicked ; so I sent the heavy tidings, and very soon the answer came, -only three -lines ; but I felt that- the sustaining power of the man's life was gone. " I thought I'd never see her any more ; I' glad to know she's out of trouble. I fight fer yer till I'm killed, which I hope will be 'fore long." Six months later he got his wish,and kept his werd. Every one knows the story of the attack on Fort Wagner ; but we should not tire yet of recalling how our Fifty -Fourth, spent with thaee sleepless nights, a day's fast, and a march under the July sun, stormed the fort as night fell, facing -death in many shapes, following their brave leaders through a fiery rain of shot, a storm of shot and shell, fighting valiantiY for " God and Governor Andrew," -how the regiment that went into action seven huudred strong came out having had nearly half its number captured, killed or wounded, leaving their yonng commander to he buried, like a chief ia earlier times, with body-gnard around him, faithful to the death. Surely, the insult Wails to honor, and the wide grave needs no nviamment but the hero- ism that consecrates it in our sight ; surely, the hearts that held him nearest see through their tears a noble victory in the seeming sad defeat ; and surely, God's benediction was bestowed, when this loyal soul answer- ed, as Death called the roll,- " Lord, here am I, with the brothers Thou hast given me ?" The future must show how. well that fight was fought ; for though Fort Wagner still defies us, public prejudice is down ; and through the cannon -smoke of that black night the manhood of the colored race shines before many eyes that would not see, rings in many ears that would not bear, wins many hearts that would not hitherto be - When the news came that we were need- ed, there was none so glad 9-4 .1 to leave teaching contrabands, the new work I had taken up, and to go to nurse.

Wishingto divert his mind, I put my poor mite into his hand,and, remembering the magic of a .sertain book, I gave him mine; upon whose dark cover whitely shone the Virgin Mother and the child, the grand history of .whose life the book contained. The mone3i went into Robert's pocket with a grateful murnrer,the book into his pocket with a long look and a " I never saw my baby, ma'am." broke down then ; and though my were too dim: to see, I felt the touch of pole my hands, heard the sound of de- ag feet, and knew my contraband was When one feels an intense dislike, the less one says about the subject of it the better ; therefore I shall merely record that the cap- tain lived, -in time was .exchanged ; and that whoever the other party was, I am con- vinced the Governnaent got the best of the barcrain. But, long before this occurred, I hacf fulfilled my promise to Robert ; for as soon as my patient recovered strength of memory enough to make his answer trust- worthy, a,sked, without any circumlocu- tion,- " Captain Fairfax, where is Lucy ?" And too feeble to be angry, surprised or insincere, he straightway answered,--- " Dead, Miss Dane." " And she killed herself when you :sold Bob ?" "How the devil did you know that ?" he • The scene was most familiar and yet strange ; for only dark faces looked up at me from the pallets so thickly laid. along the floor, and I missed the sharp accent of my Yankee beys in the slower, softer voices cheerilY to one another, or answering my questions with a stout " We'll never give up, ma'am, till the last Reb 's dead," or, If our people 's free, we can offer to die." Passing from bed to bed, intent on mak- ing one pair of hands do the work of three, at least, gradually: washed, fed and band- aged my, way down the long lino of sable herose and coming to the very last found that he was my contraband. So old, so worn, deathly weak and wan, I Dever should have anown him but for the deep scar on his cheek. That s lay uppermost, and caught my eye at ce ; but even then I doubted, such an awfu change bad come upon him when turning o the ticket just above his head; '1 saw the name, " Robert Dane." That both assured and touched.' nse, for, remembering that be had no name, I knew that he had taken mine. I longed for him to speak to me, to tell how he had fared since I lost sight of him,' and let me perform some little service for him in return for many he had done for me ; but he seemed asleep ; and as I stood re- living that strange night again, a bright lad who layenext to him, softly waving an old fan across both beds, looked up and said,- " I guess you know him, ma arnr As much as any one was able to, were dead and gone ? sin, "1 s'pose because I know he'll have to go. paper He's got a bad. jab in the breast an' is bleed- of pr hig inside, the Doctor says.

There was so much sorrow and affection in the boy's face, that I remembered some- thing, and asked, with redoubled interest, - "Are you the one that brought him off ? I was told about a boy that nearly lost his life in saving that of his mate." I dare say the young fellow blushed, as any modest lad might have done I could not see it, but thears1 the chuckle of satis- faction that escaped him, as he glanced from his shattered alma and bandaged side to the z: s looked at the white slave with :,the pitiful, yet puzzled expresaion I have sia! often .seen. on the faces of our wieest melt when this tangled question of Slavery preOnts himself, asking to be cut or patiently undone.

I sat clown suddenly, for the old anger and compassion struggled in my aieart, and I both longed and feared to hearWhat was to follow.

I said,-aiaing the question women often put, and receAving the answer they seldom fail to .get. -" I never thought of anything but the damn'd Rebs, that scalp, slash, an' . cut our ears off when they git us. I was hound to let daylight into one of 'em at least, tin' I did. "It was evident that you did, anI I don't blame you in the least. Now go an about Robert, for I should be at work." " He was one of the fust up ; I elms just behind, an' though the whole thing happen- ed in a minute, I remember how it ewas, for Just where we were, some sort of aen. officer was witvin' his sword an' cheerinh:': on his men ; Dane saw him by a big 4sh that came by ; he flung away his genii give a leap, anal went- at that feller as if !he was Jeff, Beauregard an' Lee, all in One.
