correspond with its.name—The Wild-
erness. The low pines and.cedars, which
abound everywhere, had taken a fresh
green;• the deciduous trees, the tangled
thickets, impenetrable in may places by
horse or man, were putting forth a new
feliage; tinted with a delicate semblance
of -autumn hues. Flowers bloomed
everywhere, humbly in the grase dose

strays ofshrubbery and vines, fihling the
air with fragrance as the ligb touched
and expanded the petals: Woo thrushes
and other birds sang as melodiously and
contentedly as if they had selected some
breezy upland forest for their nesting -

death.
,Lonely and uninhabited - in its normal"
. ' condition,. this forbidding wilderness had
- become peopled with thousands of men.
The Army of the Potomac: was pent-
: trating and seeking to pass through it.
Vigilant General Lee had observed the
•_ movement, .- and, with ' characteristic
boldness and skill, ordered his troops,
from c their strong intrenchMente on
Mine -Run towards the Union flank. - On
this memorable -morning the van of his
columns wakened from their Ibrief re-
pose but a short '• distance from the
Federal bivouac. Both,* parties were
ts
unconscious Of their nearness, or, with
the exception of a few clearings, the
dense growth restricted vision to a
'narrow range. The Union forces were
directed in their- movements I by the
compass, as if they, were pailers on a fog-
enshrouded.isea.; but. they well knew
that they were.seekingtheir old anta• ,
&1st? the Army of Northern Virginia,
and that the stubborn ttig-of-war might
. begin at any moment._ I° . -
When Captain Nichol shook off the
-lethargy of a brief troubled ileep;he
- foundthat the tight did not banish his
gloomy imtresslons. Those immediately
•
around him were still slu bering,
- wrapped in their blankets. Fe sounds.
other than the voices of the awakening
birds broke -the silence.' After &little
thought he rew his notebook from his
pooketand wrote as follows: • ;

- Itis scarcely light enough to see as yet,
but very soon we shall be on the move
again to meet, we know not what—

faced the prospect of battles many times
before, and have passed - through them
unbarmed, but now I am depressed by

thoughts turn to you. _There was no
formal engagement -between ns when I
_ said those words (so hard to sneak) of
' farewell, nor have I sought to bind you
since. Every month has made more
clear the uncertainty of life in my call-

.npon you any restraint other titan that

,pened, you would be free as far a I was
concerned, and few would know that we
had told each other of our love. : I wish
to tell you of mine once more—not for

_ LOYE AT HOXE. • •
Long years' before he war, happy,
children were growing 1i4 the ' village of
Alton. ' They studied -th history of
wars much as they conned their lesions
ba geography. Scenes.e strife belonged,
to the past, or Were enaqted among peo-•
.ple wholly unlike • an who dwelt

ericans should ever fight each other Was

should -have a pitched battle in the street
with his Sunday school Superintendent.
They; rejoiced mildly when, in their pro-
gress through the ',Unite States history,
they came to pages deso ptive oglndian
wars and the 1tevoIntioiary struggle,
since they found _ their -lessons more
easily remembered than he wordy dis-
putes and little understo d decisions - of
-statesmen. The first, skating on the
pond was an event that f r transcended,
in importance any thing related between
the green covers of the old history book;
while to Albert Nichol the privilege of
strapping skates on the feet of little
Helen Kemble and gliding away. with •
her over the smoothie° as a' triumph
unknown by any General He was the
son of a plain farmer, and she the
daughter of the village banker. Thus;
even in childhood, Nam+ was thrown
around her the glamouref position and
reputed wealth—advanttNges Which have.
their valueamong the most democratic
_folk, although slight outward deference
may be paid to their possessors. • It was
the charming little face itself, with its
piquant smiles and still more piquant
pants, which won Albert's boyish ad-
miration. Thefaetthat she was the
banker's daughter only fired :hie ambi-
'tion. to be•and to do sornething-to make
her proud of hiaa. -
Hobart Martine, another boy • of the
,village, shared all his schoolinateis ad-
miration for pretty Nellie, as she was
!rally called._ He had been: lame from
birth, and could not skate. , could
only shiver on the banker stamp around
to keep himself warm, while the athletic:
Al. and the -graceful little girl passed
and repassed, quite forgetting him.
There WAS one thing he ,could do, and
this pleasure he waited or Until often
numbed with cold. He could draw the
child on his sled to her hdme, which
ad-
joined his own.
When it came his turn to do this, and
he limped patiently through the snow,
tugging at the ropeihis h artgrew Warrn,.
•• "No, I have :seen nothing, I only
heard Helen's cry. That told the whole
-story." •°
"Yes, Weil, her mother's with her.
Poor girl I poor girl ! God grant it isn't
her deathtblow, too. She Ilail suffered
too much under this long strain a anx-
iety." - , = • , I '
' A generous resolve was fornaing in
Msetine's mind, and he said, earnestly,
• "We must tide her through this terrible
shock. There may be some mistake ;
he may be only wounded.' Do not let
her give up hope absolutely. I'll drop
every thing and go to the battle -field at
Once. If the worst has in truth happen -
led I can bring home his remains, and
!that would be a comfort to her. A
newspaper report, made up hastily in
the field is not final. .Let this hope
break the cruel force of the blow, for it
is hard to live without hope."
S' Well, Hobart, you are a true friend.
- G bless and reward you; If nothing
til
co es of it for poor Nichol, as I fear
no hies will, your journey and effort
will give a faint hope to Nellie, and, as
you say, break the force of the blow. I'll
go'and tell her."
• Martine went into the parlor which
Helen had decorated with mementos of
her soldier lover. He was alone but a
few moments beforehe heardhastysteps.
Helen entered with hot, tearless eyes
and an agonized, implorin expression.
r What !" she cried, =" sit true that
you'll go ?"
"Yes, Helen, immediately. I do not
• think there's reason for despair.'",
r Oh, God bless you ! friend Lfriend !
hieveh , Hobert, no sister ever lavish-
r knew what the word -meant be-
fore. Oed,loveto fic brother as I will love you if
you britig back my Albert," and in the
impulse of her overwhelming gratitude
she buried her face On his shoulder and
sobbed aloud. Hope already brought
the relief of tears. . • :=
He stroked the hdtved head -gently,
saying, "God is my witness, Helen, that
I Will spare no pains and shrink from no
danger in trying to find Captain Nichol.
I have known of many instances where
the first reports of battles proved in-
