Thirty Confedermtos had gsth •red in that boose at a country-side frolic, and the fiddle sang deep in the mght. The mountain girls art- very pretty, having dark, opalesornt eyes, with a touch of gold in them at a side glance, slight, lather too fragile figures, and the mngalar purity of complexion pecuhar to high lands. The moon v ent down, and the music of the dance, and the shuffie of feet on puncheon floor, died away into the deep murmurous chant, the hymn of nature in the forest. The falling watetjp sleeping in the dam or toiling an day at the mill, irurglea like the tinkling of castanets. - Ev. ry vine and little leaf is a harp string, v. rj tiny binds of grass flutes its singly ruudible treble; the rustling leaves, chi-ping cricket, piping batmehian, the tmeful bum ci insects that sleep by day and wake by night, mingle and flow L the general harmony of sound, T * reeds and weeds and trunks of trees, li the great an-i leaser pipes of an organ, thunder a low bass. The melancholy hoot of the owl ami the mellow complaint of the whippoorwill Join in the solemn diapason of tiw forest, filling the solitudes with grand, stately marches. There arc no sounds of nature or art so true in harmony as this cnaseless murmur of the American woods. So accord at its is it with solemn majesty oj form and color that the observer fail* to m parate slid distinguish it as an isola ted part in the grand order of nature.

The bed., the floor., the wall., the door, are .plaihed with blood, and the chamber, are cum- lierul with the dead and dying men in dreadful agony.
