CHAPTER VI. Face to face. Tbe morning sun, struggling thro’ iron bars, entered a small cell in one of those spacious prisons which were appropriated to the confinement of Confederate captives in the old Cap ital. It would be impossible to im agine any one more desolate than the inmate of this cell. She had been three weeks immured there; and in all that time had not once availed herself of the privilege of taking exercise in the prisoners’ ‘play-ground’; all her strolls being confined to her own narrow apart ment. She seemed to shrink from the sight of her kind; ale barely enough to support life; and, any time of the day, might have been seen, as she now was, with her open bible upon her knee, and her mourn ful eyes fixed upon the page. The sentry’s monotonous tread outside her door ceased for an in stant, and there was a sound of sev several voices. “I have really a curiosity to see this lady-spy,” said one. “You shall be gratified, then, Captain,” replied another; and without farther inti mation, the door of her cell was opened and two men entered. One was the prison superintendent, and the other—it needed not a second glance, or the governor’s formal in troduction of “Captain de Caroll,” to convince her was the author of her bitterest woes. At the sight of him, all her torpid vitality seemed to revive; the palid cheek grew crimson, and the hollow eyes flashed. Rising to her feet, and fixing her gaze full upon him; in a low, dis tinct voice, she said, “Can it be pos sible that you are so entirely devoid of all human feeling, as to come here ? And do you not fear that the very walls which euclose your out raged wife—for such I am, in the sight of God and by the laws of mau, —may fall and crush you ?” “Upon my word, Madam,” said the visitor, with well-feigned surprise, “You do me too much honor. Until this morning, I never had the pleas ure of seeing you.” Thin turning to ihe Governor, who was sharply regarding him, “This poor la y is undoubtedly mad, Mr. W.,”hesaid, and I think lhat I had best not re man; here any longer.” The prisoner essayed to speak again, but was prevented by some thing hot and full which rose in her throat, and placing her handkerchief to her lips, it was presently satura ted with blood. She would have fallen to the floor, had not Mr. W. raised her in his arms, and placing her upon the bed summoned a female attendant, in whose charge he lelt her, while he and his companion quilted the room. In a few minutes, the prison physi cian came in, examined the case, in a business-like sort of way, and ad ministered an anodyne, which, hap pily for her, took immediate effect; and she fell into a quiet sleep. It was late in the evening when she awoke, and heard voices in tbe adjoining room. They were raised, evidently in warm discussion, and should distinguish the words. “It is madness, your holding out so persistently,” said one.“ Listen to my entreaties, and take the oath; you will die if you remain here much longer.” “■Mery possibly,” returned a low, weary voice, which it affected Maude strangely to bear; “bet L have no alternative.” * “Yes, you have —the dash of a pen-just your signature, and you are free—free to enjoy yourself, to go to Europe, or where you please ; lor you still have your share of our Canada property.” “1 would choose death rather than perjury,” said the weary tones. “Perjury, bah! Your Confedera cy is a wrecked vessel, I tell you. Lee is on his last legs now, and eve rything must soon be over with his army; then you will be paroled, but in the mean time, here you ate. Wasting a way lo nothing. You haven’t lelt this room for a whole month, they tell me, and as long as you re fuse to take the oath, 1 am power less to aid you. 1 must set out to morrow to rejoin my command, but I hale the thought of leaving you, Henry.” “You have done worse things to me than that,” said the other. “Have it as you will, but I feel a natural solicitude concerning your health. Do you ever mean to take exercise again ?” “I shall try and get into the ‘play ground’ to-morrow.” “That is right. And now, good bye ; my time is up. I hope, when we meet again, to find you a wiser man.” “And I trust to find you a bette , Good-bye.” The key grated in the door, and there was a sound of footsteps re treating down the passage. But from that moment, Maude was pos sessed with an intense desire to dis cover who her next door neighbor was. The next day, on account of her health, they suffered her door to re main open until evening, in order that she might have the benefit of what air was stirring in the passage; and when the hour came for the prisoners to take exercise, she placed her chair where she could command a view of all who passed, and anx iously listened until she heard the door ot the next cell grate on its hinges, and footsteps approaching her own. Eagerly she bent her head forward and closely scanned all the passers-by. Several Confederate of ficers passed together; but the be holder started convulsively, and her whole frame was thrilled as by an electric shock, when her eyes fell upon one of them, who moved wnh a feeble, tottering gait. Good God! W hat jugglery was this ? Had she, indeed, gone mad, or was she dream ing? Had she not seen him but twenty-four hours since in Federal uniform ? Her brain reeled, and she was compelled to throw herself upon the bed ; but now her mind was en tirely occupied with the one thought of establishing communication be tween hers and ihe adjoining cell. For several days site was 100 ill lo leave her bed ; but as soon as she was able to crawl, she instituted a diligent search along the wall of separation for some aperture to ad mit the passage of a note. Finding none, she resolved to bore, making use ot a knife which had been left, by accident upon her ta ble : and the next afternoon found her cautiously inserting hurriedly into the hole, a smell slip of paper, upon which she bad written, “For the love of Heaven, w ho are you?” The neighboring prisoner, warned no donbt, the scraping sound, was evidently on the look-out; for the missive instantly disappeared, and in a few minutes, the following answer was returned, through the same media, “My name is Hanii Louis de Ca roll. I was late an officer in John son’s army, and was taken prisoner six months back ; was sent, at first, to Fort Delaware, but two months since was removed to this place. Who are you?” Trembling alt over, she hastily wrote, in reply, “I am Maude de Caroll, nee Ar lington.” But scarcely had he re ceived this second oemmiuiication. when there arosew great commotion and hubbub in the lower part of the building. Both started away from their newly established; post office; and presently fell upon their ears, uttered in loud, ringing tones, these words: “Leehas surrendered, the Aar is over.” In the next hour it was authenticated, and all the pris oners knew that General Lee, with the whole Southern army, bad sui rendered to Grant, at Appomattox Court House. The announcement was received by some with groans and tears, but by others with sighs of relief; for now, they were lold, they should be paroled and sent to to their homes. • • * * * It had grown quite dark, and poor Maude was standing in the centre of her room, with her hands pressed upon her brow, trying to coiled her bewildered ideas, when she was aroused by the sound of the door key turning in the lock. A light glimmered into the apartment; and in the next instant, she was clasped in the arms of her long lost husband. “Beloved, beloved,” he murmur ed, pressing her again and again lo his lull heart, “God has answered my prayers at last, and restored you lo me. But oh, how changed, my soul, from the fresh, blooming girl I took leave of at F.lsinore ! I dare not ask through what suffering my bird of beauty has passed. She must try and forget it now.” She lay with her head upon his breast, and wept; it was the first lime in years, and the tears were a blissful relief. “Tell me all about yourself,” she murmured, “and who and what is that dreadful double, in Federal blue, that I have twice been tortured by the sight of “You must have seen my brother Louis, my poor darling!” And his tone of tender compassion seemed to comprehend all the anguish lhat she had endured. Then holding her closer to his heart, with his face pressed against hers lo assure her that he wa3 no phantom, hut a liv ing, loving reality, she heard the following talfe: Louis Henri de Caroll, and Henri de Caroll were twin brothers, the sons of a wealthy Louisiana planter; and the resemblance between them was more perfect than in most simi lar cases—their gestures, voices and carriage being so exactly alike as to frequently puzzle even their parents. Both were educated at West Point; and destined for the military ser vice; but, upon the outbreak ol po litical difficulties, look different sides. Henri, as we have seen, went to Washington lo resign his commis sions lie was there met by his bmlh er, who used every inducement to turn him from his puipose ; bui find itig him inflexible, reported to a per sonage, with whom he knew it would have its weight, what his brother had unguardedly disclosed to him, that Henri was t in possession ol some facts which Grueinl Scott did not desire should get out. Th Gov ernment was ihen u.-ing stringent' measures ; and Henr; was ariesied and thrown into prison, where he remained fir nearly a year,.when, managing to effect Ins escape, he joined the army of the West. As soon as he could obtain a fur lough, he repaired to Virginia in search of Ins bride, but vain were his efforts. At the risk of his life, and under cover of the night, he went to her old home, and what was his grief to find the house burned to the ground and the place in posses sion of the Federals. He was told by the negroes, who believed what they asserted, lhat she, with her brother, had perished in the flames; his fruitless search seemed to con firm the agonizing intelligence; and he returned to his command, a reck less, desperate man. He was soon after severely wounded and laid up in hospital; the rest of his history was a series of battles and seiges, which he dwelt lightly upon, and he was promoted lo the rank of Major, just previous to his capture. After his removal to Washington, be was visited by his brother, who Bgain urged him to turn traitor to bis cause. Louis was dissipated and unprincipled, but he yet retain ed some affection for his twih broth er, and really believed that he acted a friendly part in trying to induce him. to perjure himself., He had taken Henri’s horge, Iscara, into the service with him, had treated him No. 8. tenderly for his master’s sake, and seemed sincerely distressed at his loss. The last interview between the brothers was that which Maude had overheard. Henri's feelings on discovering Maude’s proximity to himself, bars description; and as soon as possible he obtained the Gover nor’s permission to come into her cell, explaining their mutual relations as briefly as possible to Mr. W. Then (lending his ear close to her' lips he hearkened 10 her heart-rending tale; which she had scarce concluded, when the turnkey came in to sepa rate them. The next morning, Hen ri was allowed to repeat his vist, and two days later, they were discharg ed from prison. On the day of their release, Henri approached his wife with a newspaper in his band, and placing his finger on the list of the killed in a skirmish (one ol the last of the war) near Farmville, Virginia, she read the name of Louis Henri de Caroll. ***** Louis de Caroll’s death placed his brother in possession of a hand*, some property in Canada, beyond the reach ol confiscation; and after spending a short time in New York, Henri and his wife set sail for Eu rope to recruit their shattered health and nerves amid the cool shades ol “Merrie England.” FINIS. THE NEST THINS TO A SWAN. Charles Lamb thus describes his call upon George Dawe, soon after his election to a seat in the Royal Academy, and during the visit of the Allied Soveregns to England: “ I called upon D. to congratulate him upon a crisis so doubly eventful. His pleasant housekeeper seemed embarrassed, owned that her mas ter was alone. But could he be spoken with? With some impor tunity I prevailed upon her to usher me up into his panning room. It was in Newmen Street. At his easel stood D., with an immense spread of canvas before him, and by his side a live goose. I inquired into this ex traordinary combination. Under the rose he informed me that he had undertaken to paint a transparency for Vauxhall, against an expected visit of the Allied Sovereigns to that place. 1 smiled at an engagement so derogatory to his new-bor, honors; but a contempt of small gains was never one of D.’s toibles. My eyes beheld crude founs of warriors* kings, rising under his brush upon this interminable stretch ol clothi The Wolga,ihe Don, and the N> pier were there, or their representative River Gods; and Father Thames clubbed urns with the Vistula— Glory with her dazzling Eagle was not absent, nor .Fame, nor Victory. The slnde of Rubens miolu have evoked the mighty allegories. But what was the goose? He vx.isevi dently silting fir a something. “D. at la-i informed me, that hav ing fixed upon a groffpof rivers, he* could not introduce the Royal Thames' without his swans', that he had inquired the price of a live swan* and it being more than be was pre pared to give tor it. h, had bargain ed with the poulterer for lb next thing to it; adding significantly, th l it would do to mast, after ii had' served its turn to punt swain, by.” Another Denizen of Pompeii. Another skeleton has been added to the museum of Pompeii, and there are now, says a correspondent of the London Athenmum, the re mains of six of the unhappy victims of the eruption which overwhelmed that city. The ingenious method adopted by Fioreili is too well known to render any description of it neces sary —every guide book repeats it, and on the first experiment being made, I sent you a full and detailed report. The bed of ashes in which this, the sixth skeleton, was found, or rather which preserved the im press of it, though mixed with lapil-o li, gives the forth of the deceased' 1 with att exactitude which far sur passes that observed ih any other instance. The head has succeeded to perfection, attd the legs and feet,, are so well finished as to leave noth ing to desire. Apparently, the form is that of a man ol the Jowex class*- in the flower of yoOth. In his flight' he fell backward, and his agony is strongly expressed in the of his face, and* in the convulsive clasp of the left hand. True Poutkpkss —Men of fine feelings fascinate thnoagh a certain affectionate watchfulness of the little, wants of others, through a divining of their most softly whispered wish es, and a continual sacrifice of their own; thorough politeness, whdss silken bands twine more jjetody and closely roond our oa the rough cords of one great benefit.
