It was one cold morning towards the close of the year 18G4, that a solitary horseman was slowly trav ersing ihc roatl that lay between (Jordonsville and the Federal en cainpmcnt. Those were sad days, even for the most hopeful; for the cloud was lowering over the doomed Confederacy, and its shadow was reflected in every heart; but to none did the public reverses come home more keenly than to Maude Caroll, and with the prophetic vision of a Cassandra, looked into the future ; and the death knell of Southern lib erty rang nightly in her dreams. In dividually, mailers had prospered with her well enough. Her beloved brother, who hail borne himself val- orously in every engagement, was now a lieutenant of dragoons, and her own romantic enterprises had been especially successful; but there were lines about her mouth and brow that belong to maturer age ; and her face, when in repose, wore an ex pression o c dumb and hopeless sor row. As she now advanced slowly, seemingly uncertain which route to pursue, a horse, saddled and bri died, but riderless, ran rapidly past her, and slopping short, some hun dred yards distant, and looking a- rnuiul him as though to ascertain that there was r.o danger of pursuit, began quietly to bite at some grass growing by the road-side. Some thing in his altitude, in the proudly arched neck, glossj coat and luxu riant mane, struck Maude as lauiil iar; her heart throbbed with strange, wild sensaiion, as she watch ed his motions; and dismounting she fastened Mabel to a fence, and cautiously approached the fugitive The impres-ion grew stronger as •he advanced nearer; y< s, there was little doubt ol it now: llie anima all - belli Id was Iscara, Captain dc Caroll’s Atal> horse, which he had ridden the da) of 'he louitiamem. t..ui years previous. She tailed him ny iianu-, and throwing up Ins h.ind-ouie head, he ntighed at the sound <•! her voice, fie, then, nad not lorgoiu-ii hei. Ob, Heaven! might it prove a hopclul omen. She rushed loiW ird, Knew her arms a- rouiui Iu- neck, and covered his In ad aud face wall kisses. “Iscar.t, dear beauty,” she Humoured, tell me something of him ; I have wailed so patiently all through these years.” Attached to his equipments were a pair of saddle-bags, and in one ol them Maude found a torn, crumpled letter, it was just the conclusion and signature, but she eagerly seiz ed it and read as follows: “Don’t fail to meet me at Marlin’s, at ten o’clock; anti for Heaven’s sake, let there be no mistake this time. In haste, &c., Louts Henri de Caroll." Her heart seemed to stand still as she read the name, and a new hope began tremblingly to dawn in her. Hut what course should she pur sue—what steps take to lollow up this clue, if clue, indeed, it were ? Her brain grew dizzy with conjec ture ; then duty beckoned her back to a decided course. She had pledg ed hersell to try and visil the ene> my’s catnp that day; and with a farewell caress lo Iscara, she re turned to Mabel, unhitched, mount ed, and setting spurs lo her, was presently dashing rapidly along the road, her thoughts iu such a wild tu mult that she was insensible lo eve ry passing object, and scarce recked whither she was going. At noon •he readied a small farm-house be fore which sic alighted and was warmly grejted by the rustic in- m lcs. lor they were ardent reltels, always ready to assiM the cause, and Maude frequently made use ol tlieir lioi.se in her expeditions. ltedri ig i"io a privdte apartment, she histily exchang-d hei riding habit tor u lx y s suit ol coaise brown “jeans,” slai ini her face find hands with a d tik vasb, darkened her eye* blows, and looping up her luxuriant hair, hound a red cotton hamiker- chief around her brow aud placed a haltered straw hat above. Then removing her shoes and stocking*, she stained her led. Tho disguise was complete ; none could possibly have lecoguized “the Angel of the Brigade;” and going out. she pur chased some chickens, butter and apples, and hiring a mule, mounted and rode in the direction of the Federal line s. About dusk she reached ihetn, and would undoubt edly have mel with a repulse from the cut-posts had not Providence put her in possession of the pass word, through the instrumentality of a drunken straggler whom sheen- countered on the way. She was not at all certiin w'heiher il was the right one, however, but being re solved to vent ore, she, with a sink ing heart, pronounced it. It was satisfactory, and she was suffered to pass on. Other circumstances, also, were propitious. Torbcrt, who was the General in command, was evi dently preparing for action of some sort, for all the sutlers had been sent away; and a number ol the privates eagerly clusie'ed round the little poultry vender. When neatly all her articles were disposed of and she had a good lit tle roll of greeibacks in hcrjicket pocket, she took a stroll through the camp, seeming y intent on fresh pur chasers; but in reality seeking to glean the information which was the object of her expedition, and at any other time she would have been painfully str.uk by the contrast which this comfortable and orderly settlement presented to the wretch ed Confederate quarters ; but now her thoughts were too much en grossed. Bv skillful manceovering, she eon trived to get close outside ot Gen. Torherl’s lent, where a council of war was being fn-id ; and throwing herself upon the ground, as though weary, she feigned to sleep, i’tie sentinel pushed her once or twice with his fool, and finding lit it she .-bowed no consciousness, Jifk quiet possession of her basket, which con tained some apples and *’trgs, then rifling her pock't ot the money she had made. It It her to her repose. But all this tin: •. the supposed sleep cr \v is listening intently In the voice- within, and not one word ol their de bate esca( ed ter. Fifteen minutes latet, she 4’ai thread) g hei way out the camp to return to the farm house. It was now quite dark and t he camp tires wr re lighted. From the lent of one of he officers issued the notes of a violin, the sound of voices and the jingle of glasses, accompa nied by a rich fragrance of maras- ultitwl nnrl MQ t ac**n-*rs I felt a strange, undefinable reluc tance to pass ibis lent, and stepping to one side, \vf ere alie could be con cealed by a large tree, she crouched down close lo the ground and re solved to listen to what was going on. Presently the violin ceased, and a voice—evidently that of the musician—said, “Fill me another glass, Tom. Ly Jove! I’m as dry ns that old well you fell into to-day.” “Drink while you can, old fellow,**’ another voice replied, “wc will be at the ‘Itehs’ now in a day or two, and there’s no telling which of us may get knocked over. ’ “Ugh!’’ said a third,“don't speak of such things ; enjoy the present while we may. Let’s have a story lo digest thi s ;ia.'e de foie gras with ; de Caroll, you can pull a pretty long bow, I believe," At that name, poor Maude started forward as though she had received an elect! ic siock ; and no power on earth now could have deterred her from looking iutu the tent. Advan cing stealthily ot her hands and knees, she discovered an aperture, through, which, by lying with her thee close to the ground, she could obtain a view of the interior ; and quickly Inking that position, she be held a picture that turned her heart sick, and seemed to freeze the very mairow in her bones. There was a lamp swung, chap- delicr-fnshion, lrotn the ceiling of the tent, which < a-l its rays full up on f>ur officers, lounging indolently upon a buffalo robe, beside a small tnbie. upon wh'cli was placed sever al decanleis and some fruit and pas try- with which they were regaling themselves. But the central fiyure was the one who rivited her atten tion. He had grown much stouter, and his complexion was sun-burned and florid but the features were the same ; and in agouy of spirit, Maude acknowledged lo herself that this was no other than the man, to whom, lour years previous, she had been solemnly united in wedlock for “so long as ye both shall live.” What followed only scived lo confirm her belief. “I say, de Caroll, let’s have the benefit of your poetic fancy, now, urged the first speaker. “Oh, snare him to-night!’ 1 said No. 2, “the poor fellow’s down in the mouth about the loss of Iscara “How did he lose Iscara P* “Don’t you know she threw him this morning anil ran away with the letter he was writing toLillias? I’ll bet my best rifle the old man picked it up iu the road." “It won’t do him much good, if he did,” chimed iu the subject of their remarks, joining in the laugh, “for 1 tore it before the devil let me fly.” “Tell us about Lillias.” “Oh, there is really nothing to tell there; but I can tell you a true sto ry of which I am the hero.” “Bravo! let’s have it, then; and we’ll drink to the health of your he roine, whoever she be.” “Il was some where about this part of tfic country, 1 think,” said Captain de Caroll, musingly, as he removed his seg tr. “and not ‘a hun dred months ago’ that 1 met with quite a pleasing adventure. A dain ty little sccesh lass, as green as an olive branch, and as innocent as the dove that bore it. ’ i’was a delicious little farce I played ; La petite real ly Itelieved herself married to me— and, for aught 1 know to the contra ry, thinks so si ill. And now, upon tuv soul! 1 have nothing more lo L II ; lor 1 have never laid eyes on her since. But Parblen! what asi tt- plet'-n your essentially Southern girl i-!” And fie laughed, a tow, languid laugh, replaced Ins segar, and beg ged them to excuse him from any further nartaiion. “Since y<-u will give us nothing bul ‘Jark-.i-noiy,’ 1 suppose we must,” said ttie musician, resuming his instrument; “but we will make up for it oil your wine. Fill up the glasses, loin.” , Wlnle the visible auditors of the tale thus beguded die time, it seem ed to the one without, as mough her blood were turned to liquid fire in her veins. This retribution was what her mildest fancies had never ap* j---J, ——ai oLu nuo iva»4j claim iu the words of the first wan derer, “my punishment is greater than lean bear!” That this man, who had sworn before God’s altar lo to protect and cherish her, should be lying there, feasting amid light and wine and music; making a jest on her wretchedness aud his own atro city ; while she, in an unworthy dis guise, crouched in cold and dark ness outside! Then a feeling she hud never known before look pos session of her, and a strange demon of reveuge entered her heart. Well was it for her that just then the recollection of what had brought Iter there came to her poor, tortured brain. Wreck as she wai, there were yet noble ends for her to ac complish ; her actions were still of importance in the world ; and rising, she imbibed a long draught of night air, and made her way out of the camp, remounted the mute and set forward to the farm house, making notes in her pocket-book on the way, of all the information she had ob tained. • It was acariy midnight when eke Reached b'er'lemporary destination, and the farmer arged her to remain until morning; bul she was resolved upon carrying through her purpose. nd rcsuuiuig her own dress, she remounted Mabel, who *ecuied to have made the most of her rest, aod pursued her way to the Confederate lines. She had to battle with wild thoughts on that solitary ride All the sad, quiet resignation which had reigned in her soul when she set out that morning was fled, and daik des pair assailed her. The night was beautiful; in one place where she had to ford a stream, the calm wa ter, sleeping in the soft moon-light, with the dark woods in the back ground, formed a lovely picture, which, at any other time, might haTe wooed her spirit: bat now, “Nature** w»* an altered tone. And breathed rebuke and dread.’’ Her dead father’s spirit seemdd lo frown upon her from another sphere, and the Ircsh night wind which swept her cheek was like the scourge of an armed fury. “Calm, calm, oh, give me, if only outward calm !” she cried to Heaven. And she was calm, unnaturally so, when in the grey morning she reached the Madison turnpike, where a portion of the Confederate forces, under General Lomax, was posted. Lo max was up and ready to receive her, and most minutely did she de tail her scattered bits of information. “We axe deeply in yout debt, Miss Arlington,” he said, when she had concluded, “but, indeed,” with a compassionate glance at her worn, while face and bloodless lips, about which the lines of suffering had been greatly multiplied during the past night, “this hard service is telling on you. You ought really to go down to Richmond and recruit a little.” “Are you prepared to give battle to Torbert?” she inquired. “UndoubteJly,” he replied. “Then until it is past, I shall go no farther off i han Gordonsville; and as I have two miles ami a hall yet to ride, I must now wish you good morning.” The General assisted her to Iter saddle; and half an hour later she reached the little cabin in which she had taken up her temporary aliode at Gordonsville. ( To be continual.) The Greatest City of tho World. The census recently taken ot tne city of London shows its population to be three and a quarter millions. This has never been excelled even tiy Rome in its palmiest days, and it at once places ihui great metro polis in the position of the first c«iy of the world. Il is a noticeable tact that, with ibis immense population having its fair share of rogues and villains of all grades, ii is so well governed and so well policed that we se.dom hear oferimes com mi tty 1 d like unto our Utc street cat murder. The criminal there meets with prompt punishment following prompt m reel. Money and influence avail them nothing; hence crime is uot at a premium, us in other places we know of. Human life is compa ratively safe, unless tneu are foolish enough lo permit themselves to he caught in the very deus of thieves and other miscreants. The people travel in very direction without fear of death at the hands of a sidewalk tuffian. The murderous car hook has no terrors to a citizen of London. He enters a “buss*' without the li ability of being maltreated before his journey is over. If Insulted he has immediate redress; consequent ly crime is held in check. Indeed London, in this respect, will serve as a model lo some cities which claim to be perfection in everything apper taining to good and sound govern ment. Again, the mortality in Lon don is known to be less in proportion to its population than that of any city of the world. From this our city fathers may take a lesson. We hare ample room for improvement in our sanitary regulations. Much can yet be done whereby New York may be rendered equal to London in point of health.
