HOME' AGAIN.
"Nitereer we roam, •
Our fint, beet country ever le at home." --
" Whet constltutes a state?
Men who their duties knoiv;
But *now their rights-, and kno*ing, date
niaintain.
" AndsOvereign law, that states collected will
O'er thrones and globes elate,
Sits empres; crowning good, represeing
Thishand to tyrants ever sworn a foe,
For freedom only dellothedeadly blow ;
Then sheathes in calm repose the vengeful'
blade,
For gentle peace, in freedom's hallOwed
shade."
The vicinity of a great battle -field is
. a dreadful place after the lapse oti day
or two. The bayou and the morau had
provided sepulture for hundred" of slain
Mexicans, but hundreds still • lay_ upon
the open prairie. Over it, birds of prey i
hung n dark clouds, heavy -winged, sad,
.sorabre, and silent. Nothing disturbed
them. They took no heed of the living.
Armed with invincible talons and beaks
tipped with irons.they carried -on cease -
lusty that' automatio gluttony, which:
made thembeneficent crucible's of living
fire, for all which would otherwise have
corrupted the. higher life. And yet,
though innocent as the elements, they,
were odious in the sight of alt.
- Before daylight in the morning the
Senora and her daughters were ready to
begin their homeward journey. The
doctor could not accompany them,
General Houston and the wounded
• Americana being dependent largely upon
• his careand skilJ. But Luis Alvedaand
, Lopez Navatro received Asia unlimited
furlough.; and about a dozen Mexican
'prisoners of war -belonging to San An7
tonio were released on Navarro's assur-
ance, and permitted to travel with. the
' party as camp servants. It was likely,
also,
that they would be, joined by a
great many of the families who had ac-
companied the great flight; for, on the
preceding evening, Houston had address-
ed the army, and told the householders
and farmers to -go home ami plant their
corn. .
Full of happiness, the ladies prepared
for their journey. A good, army wagon,
drawn by eight mules, and another
- wagon, containing two tents and every-
thing neeessary for a comfortable jour-
ney, was waiting for them. The doctor
bid them.good-by with smiles and cheer-
fulpromues, They were ,going -home.
The war was over. Independence was
won. They had the hope of • permanent
peace. The weather also was as the
weather may be among the fields of
Eden. The heavens were cloudless; the
air sweet and fresh, and the wild honey-
suckles, with spread hands full of
-scent, perfumed the prairies. mile after.
- mile. The mules went knee-deep
through warngrasses; the grasses were
like waving rainbows, with the myriads
of brightly tinted flowers. •
Even Lopez was radiantly happy.
Most unusual smiles lighted up his hand-
some face, and he jingled the silver or-
naments �n his bridle .pleasantly to. his .
thoughts as he cantered sometimes a
little in advance of the wagon,L.somi-.
times in the rear, occasionally. by-iti
side; then, bethling-forWard to lift his
hat to the ladies and inquire after their
comfort. , . •
Luis kept close to Isabel; and her
' lovely face and merry chatter beguiled
him from all other observationa. A lit-
tle before noon they halted in a beauti-
ful wood; a tent wait spread for the
ladies, the animals were loosened from
their,harness, and a luxurious Meal laid
Open the grass. Then the siesta was
taken, and at three o'clock travel Was
resumed until near sunset,when the
camp was made for the night. The
same order was followed every day, and
- the journey was in every sense an easy
and delightful one. The rides, cheered
by pleasant companionship, were not
fatiguing; the impromptu meals were
keenly relished. And there were Many
nweet opportunities for little strolls in
the dim green woods, and for delightful -
conversations, -as they. eat under the
stars, while the camp -fire blazed among
the picturesque groups of Mexicans
playing mate around it.
On the third afternoon, the Senora
and Isabel were taking a siesta, but An-
tonia could notaleep. After one or two
efforts she was -thoroughly aroused by
the sound Of voices which had been.yery
familiar to her in the black days ofthe
flight -those of a woman and her weary
family of seven children. • She had help-
ed her in many ways, and she, still felt
an interest in her welfare. If appeared
now to be assured. Antonia found her
camping in a little grove of mulberry
trees. She had recovered her health;
her children were noie-Y and happy, and
her husband; a tall; athletic man, with
a determined eye and very courteous
manners was unharnessing the mules
• frorii a dile Mexican wagon; part of the
lawful spoils.of war. They, too, were
going home: "back to the Brazos," said
the woman affectionately; "and we're
• in a considerable hurry," she added,
" because lit's about time to get the corn
in. Jake .lays out to plant fifty acres
-... this year.. He says he can go to plant-
.., ing now with an easy conscience; .he
-' lows he has killed enough Mexicans to
, keep him quiet a spell.'
They talked a short time together,
• and then Antonia walked slowly into the
deeper shadows of the wood._ She
found a wide rock, under trees softly
dimpling, pendulous, and tenderly
- green; and she sat down in the sweet
gloom, to think of the beloved dead:
• ,She had often Jonged for some quiet
spot, where, alone with God and nature,
-
she coulcli just for once, give to her nor -
-
row and her love a free expression.• .
Now the' opportunity seemed to be
• here. She began to recall her whole
acquaintance with Dare -their hours of.,
pleasant study -their- pile upon the
'river -their intercourse by the fireside -
the most happy Sundays, when they
walked to the House of God together.
In those days, what a -blessed future was -
before them She recalled also the time
of hope and anxiety after the storming
of the Alamo, and then .the -last heroic
act of his stainless life. She had felt
'sure that in such a session with her own
soul she would find the relief of unre-
• strained and unchecked weeping. .But
wir cannot kindle when we will either
the fire or the -sensibility of the soul.
•he -could not weep; tears were far from
her. Nay; more,she began to feel AS if
tears were not ieded for one who had
found out so beautiful, so unselfish, so
divine a road to the grave. Ought she
not rather to rejoice that he had been so
-
- r
early called and blest ? To be sled for
herself, too, that .11 .her life bug .she
.43onktkeep the exquisite -memory of
love so noble? '
• - In the drift- of such thoughts her,
-white, handsome boo grew almost an-
gelic. She satmotionlesi and let them
come to her as if she were listening to
the comforting,-.angeb. For God - has
many ways ofiseying to• the troubled
soul, "Be- at peace"; and, certainly,
Antonia had not anticipated the Wiri-
ness and resignation which forbade her
the tearsehe had bespoken.
• At length, in that sweet melancholy
Which imoh a mental conditioninduces!,
she rose to return to the can*. A few
yards nearer to it she saw Lopez -Sitting
in a reverie as profound as her Own had
been.. He stood up to nieet her. The
patience, the.pailios, the exaltation in
•, herface touched his heart as no • words.
could have done. He said, "Sim,
°rite, if 1 knew how to Comfort y' our- .
"1 went away to think of theg dead,
Senor." - ••-
• " I comprehend -but then, I wonder
if the dead remember the living l" •
"In whatever Owelling-plece-ofetern*
ity the dear'oneswho idled at Golfed
are, I ani nitre that they remember.
Will the emancipated soul be lese-faith-

- "It Will never be permitted me to
know two:souls more pure, More • .faith-
ful, more brave. Juan was as a brother
to me, and, by My Sftntiguada I I:.
count it among God's blessingsto have
known a man like Senor Grant. A white
soul he had indeed; full of great nobili-
ties!" • .
Antonia looked at him gratefully.
Tears uncalled-for.sprang into the "eyes
of both; they clasped hands and walked
mutely back to the camp together.. For
the sentiment whioh attends- the realize,
tion that all is over, is gathered silently
• into the heart;- it is too deep for
-words.
They found the camp already in • that.
-flurry of excitement always attendant
upon its rest and rising; and the Senora
• was impitiently hmeiring for-rbek•• eldeet
daughter. '
"Gracious Maria! Is that you, An-
tonia ? At this hour we email Your ser-
vants, I think. I,' iit least, have been
waiting .upon your pleasure ";
paving the trade' of sorrow and:emo-
tion on -her face, she added, with•an un-
reasonable querulousness: "1 bless God
when r -see how He . has provided for
women; 'giving them tears; when they
- have no, Otherempleymeet for their -
time."
;loth'
umother, .1 am sorry , to have
kept you - waiting. I hope that you
have forgotten nothing. Where is your
mantilla? And hive you replenished
your :cigarito case"? Is. there water in
the Wagon ?"
"Nothing;has been provided. Things
most necessary are forgotten, no doubt.
When -you neglect such matters,'. What
less could happen ?" • , :•
But such little breezes of temper were
soon•over. The influences surrounding,
.the prospects in advance, were too'ex-
• hilatathigto _permit of 'anything • but
•;passing shadows, and after an easy, 'de-
lightful journey, they reached at leugth

excited in her own way,, which. was
naturally a much quieter way; and
Lopez sat under - a•• great' pecan -tree
smoking his cigarito with placid "miles
and admiring glances at every one.
As the sea set, the full moon !rase .as
it rises nowhere but, :over Texas or
Asian plains; golden; glorious, seething

'-'beautifying. The ,comnionentr thing
under it was transfigured into eornething
lovely, fantastic„- fOirplike. . And the
dullest souls. swelled and rou, like, the
tides under its influence. .
.Antonia took frQ10 their - stoiee the-.
hest they had, 'and a luxurious supper
was spread upon the grata. The meal
might have been one of ten eonries, it
occupied so long; it provoked 04 -much

that trouble comes trent the davit; in-
deed, Fray Ignatius once told me of a
holy !fl&fl that had one grief i upon the
heels of the other, and it was the devil
who was lent with all of thein. I have
myself no doubt that he opened the
gates of hell for Santa Anna to - return
to earth and do. a . little: work for
him." * •• ,
66 This thqughtmakes me, tremble,"
said Lopez ; "soul. that have become
angelic, can become evil. The degraded
seraphim, whom we call the 'devil, was
once the companion of srchingels, and
-
stood with -Michael, and Raphael, and
Gabriel, in the presence of- the Holy
One. Is there sin in heaven :7 Can we
tempted even there ?"' 1
The inquiry went in different ways to
each heart, but no one answered it.
There were even a few moments of con-
strained, conscious silence; which Lub
happily ended, by chanting softly a
verse from the hymn ,of the Three
Angela:
,.
64 - Who like the Lord?' thunde+ !Michael, the
.
- Chief, • ; •
Raphael, 'the oure of God,' brings* relief,
And, &sat Nazareth, prophet of peace,
Gabriel, "the light of fled,' bringeth release."
i
The noble syllables floated outward
and upward; and Antonia and Lopez
scaly intoned the last •linet together,
lettingthern fall slowly and softly into
the sensitive atmosphere.
"And as for trouble coming from the
devil,' said Lopez, "1 thin Senora,
that Fray -Ignatiui is wrong. Trouble
is not the worst thing that can come to
a manor woman. On the contrary, our
Lady of Prosperity is said to, do them .
far greater harm. Let me repeat to you
what the everwise ' Don Francisco de
Qaevedo Villegas 'says -about her :•
"*Whereils the virtue prosperity has
not staggered? Where the folly she
has not augmented ? She takes no
counsel, she fears no punishment. She
furnisheematter for scandal, experience
and for story. -How many soots, inno-
cent while poor; have fallen into sin and
impiety as soon as they drank of the

ed Job, how foolish and idipertinent he ! If he had understood' humanity,
he would havelnultiplied his fiches, and
possessed him of health, and honors, and
pleasures:. that is the trial * it -cannot

"Oh, to be ' sure 1 Quevedo was a
