and repassed, followed by portefs loaded
down witli flowor-pots,great and small.
“Yea,” replied Fred, “and putting them
out of the wmoii of pigs, loo.”
“Good,” replied the guard, smiling.
By night tho chamber was halt full of
flowers ; Frod hail bought oue small shop
clean opt, and the vendor never ceased
staring till tho last plant was gono. Ho
had rifled the conversatory, also, ofjsomo of
its choicest ornaments, and tho house was
lull of perfume. What pains he took to
.sort them, and arrange them like a garden,
with walks between .
“Really, this is more beautiful than tho
other was, a great deal,” said Hmily, after
she hail laughed till sho was tired at the
quaintnoss of tho idea 1 .
“Yes, if Mount don’t get n pipe and blast
them all With vitriol, or some such thing,”
replied Fred.
“lie'll never tlonlv of it; oil! if wo only
Jiad a glass roof.”
“Ono wyntgfatifped introduces two more,”
sai I Fred, smiting.
“Yes, hut tea is ready.”
An orderly stood waiting at tho door
do v: v taira.
“Well, William?*’
“Didn’t your honor make an asparagus
bed thin spring, sir ?”asked tho man, alter
a mititaiy salute.
“Certainly I did, the finest asparagus bod
in the country,” replied Fred, vivaciously,
never dreaming of what was to come next.
“I saw tho captain’s orderly digging it up,
that's ail,” said the map.
“Digging it. up—digging up my aspara
gus hod ! what in creation will they do
next'/ Hand mo my cap', wife/’ exclaimed
Fred, bis faco turning crimson—'let me see
if there is not some mistake.”
“Remember your promise,” said his wife
gently, ns sho handed down his fati.guo cap.
“Yes, yes, never fear; digging up my as
paragus pod! By alf that isn't in tho wa
ters beneath, or tho earth, or the heavens,
I'll know what this means !”
Fred had time to reflect going toward tho
arparagus bed. Sure enouh, it was all dug
ovor, or nearly all.
“Stop! what are’you about ?’ ho cried to
the man employed.
“bagging, it over, sir,” said the man, who
was an Irishman.
“VVho gave you the orders?”
‘•The casting, sir, lie's giv’ me the orth
era.
Frod stood for a moment, almost in de
sps:r. llis beautiful asparag is bed, that he
had taken so much pains with, given to
him for the purpose, too; it was too hard.
— l M i‘ a moment lie felt impolled to spring up
on the l’rrstm*u.ji_and knock him ovor: but
then it was not his IttuH, he was obeying
orders. 310 stood there penMvoK- regard
ing the sliovol as the Irishman s sturdy
foot ploughed it uitcwr, then, without saying
a word, ho turned and walked slowly homo.
e must do without the asparagus,
dear,” ho said quickly to his wife—“it is all
dug up.”
“ho without it! why, husband mine, will
thore bo no asparagus in town besides
what you bad planted ?”
Ho laughed at hot- cheerful face, and dis
missed his chagrin. All through tho sum
mer soason poor Cameron had trials suffi
cient to test his patienco to tho utmost.
The row was turned into his neat yard evo
ry night; ho was put to all manner of in
eonvcfhoiice in the mailer of receiving his
rations, and in a thousand ways trilled
with—but Emily was bis good angol—to !
her bo looked for comfort and advice. He
had borne bis lot bravely; not ouco bad lie
by any unoflicor-liko language, or manner,
laid himself liable (o report, and, best of
all, ho bad learned that difficult lesson, self
control.
It was early in the autumn, and Emily,
liko a good housewife, had superintended
the pickling and preserving for tho ensuing
wintor. The peaches, red-and rich, swam
in a sea of sweols—tho plums wero tucked
away in broadmouthed jars, the cranberries
and crab-apples were enough to make one’s
mouth water—and never did pickles look
fresher and greener. The cellars under tho
liouso had compartments, and each officer
occupied bis own portion, wlych was always

under lock and key. Thither, linen, to tho
place set apart by Fred, wore these choice
sweetmeats carried, and safely deposited on
shelves and in boqks. The day alter cknva
the captain’s orderly with a request for
Lieut. Cameron's cellar key. *
“He can't have it,” exclaimed Emily with
more indignation than abehad ever display
ed bcli>ro. ~ . , t
“Stop, Emily ? would you undo the good
worL- you have done?” asked Fred, mildly
“jUvo me the key,, love, you know I mast
obey orders.”
“Rat this is righkdown meanness, Fred,
does ho mean to #al ourprv.iyves ?” con
tinued Emily, indigegtiuly. ■■
“() no, my dear I ’lie iUprfHe that we
shall call for tho key wuetusvvr we want to
gel at the.m.”
“1 will never ask him for the key, bo sure
of that,” replied Emily.
“What will you do for tho preserves ?”
asked her husband.
“Go without them, as you did without
your asparagus bed,” she answered, laugh
ing a little.
“So bo it thon,” replied Fred, and gave
tho key up to the orderly—adding, “tell
Captain Mount that wo have no further use
for the key.”

’fie sun poured batty upon Ilia barracks,-
and Uio men wont through their drill like
automatons, for tilt) heat was as that of a

their heavy drums, and tittering nUwoSt
under their woight and tho close oppressive
atmosphere. It was mid Ocfpbcv; there
Imd been no rain for weeks, ex’ cpt now and
then n few drops that men ended a shotvor,
and theio wiw much sickness in the yard.
At the doors of the .barracks sat pale and
haggard marines, just recovering, or so mo
times, ns a curtain moved faintly, a pale
form, might ho seen stretched on'the hod of
disease, gasping for breath, and praying Cut
water. Asyot, tho form ofibt'j’y had not
been malignant-—bat tho woathtfr • was so
sultry, and so unnatural for,that late month,
that many predicted the scourge that soon
followed.
Captain .Mount sat in his handsome sit
ting-room, reading and writing How ho
would answer a letter from tho department
o£vyyr..now All hi*:mavi+r+f**-
“It is very strange, this t-onfoumUd dimfi
ncss!” he suddenly exclaimed, throwing
aside the sheet ho was perusing and drop
ping; his head On his hands—‘‘ever sineo 1
got Up I liat-o stumbled about like a blind
kitten,” and lifting himself again, he rang a
small bell beside him on the table.
An orderly answored the summons.
“Well, Graves, how is the sickness now?’’
ho asked.
“Worse, I’m sorry to say, sir,” replied
tho man, after hi-t usual military salute.
“John Green is dead, sir, and Mill Grooves
wo expect as g"ing fast. There are six new
cases.”
“The deuce thorn are,” muttered Captain
.Mount, springing from his seal and essaying
to move to tho window. “’Graves did yon
ever fool dizzy ?”
“I don't know hut I have, sir, some time
of my life,” replied tho man, with some hes
itation. “1 believe that’s tho way tho lever
commences, sir.”
“flow do you know?” exclaimed Captain
Mount, turning almost fiercely upon him.
Tho orderly started back a pace, and well
bo might be alarmed. The enptian’s eyes
jvero red and heavy, and bis. faeo appeared
swollen ; the look bl’ ferocity which lie-had
assumed, added to the feverish purple of bis
face, altered bis aspect completely'. But ob
serving tho look of fixed surprise with
which the man regarded him, lie said more
soft!)- —“i don’t know but you’ro right,
Graves —send my secretary here,and go for
the doctor; tell him to bring a nurse along.
Here, Graves, take tho key of Cameron’s
cellar back to him—l—l {mvot it before.”
Tho man obeyed, ‘syEjaiJ from tho
room. Another mou&fb-ufjjfWt yoSlJg man
entering moved towarqPtbo at which |
tho Captain sat with Jjs head on hi?r hamis.
“Captain Mount,” hesaid,‘And stood await
ing a moment. “SR - —you sent for mo—Gap

Tho young commander raised hia head”
slowly and looked about him, as if bo did
not comprehend.
“O, yes ! I see—yon, you linvo come,” ho
said at last, raising himself. “Alack, I'm
afraid I’m going to be sick, very sick;
want you to answer those letters immbdiutc

Two days after, Ciipluil||§lotinl's orderly
came in great haste to identonant Cameron,
with a sad story. The secretary had left,
afraid of infection; tho nurse hersoif had
been taken sick, and Capt. Mount was dan
gerously ill, with no ono but himself to stay
beside him. The commandant was away,
the people outside were 100 nnicli frigMoried
to assist, and ho did not know \\Tat ho
should do. /
“I must go there,”said Fred, with deeis
ion.
“Yes, wo must go there,” added his wife,
meeting his glance.
“Not you, Itoaily,” said Cameron.
“Not you, Fred, without me,” replied Urn
ily.
‘“I shan’t let you go,” said Cameron, in
some alarm. . •
“Wo are only wasting time,” was the an

Tlio captain’s fino mansion wore a desert
ed look. 11 was as still as tho grave, for the
servants had nearly all gone. Emily locked
about at the beautiful furniture, undlisted,
tho chairs in disorder, tho curtains unioop

Graves led thorn to tliecaptain's room. The
young man lay’ muttering, with his eyes
fixed on the wall, hip arms thrown above

The captain’s lip began toquivovand trorn-

saying softly—“don’t fed bad about the past,

“Nearly a fortnight,” replied Cameron—-’

Tho sick man obeyed, closed bis dyes bill

Every day ho mended a little, until ho could

Among oilier freight for shipment, wo no

when their happinoss was broken in upon

But the strangest part of tho story is yet

appearance of Mr. It , a lady arrived
from Virginia and claimed tho corpse buried
in the garden as that of her husband, who
