For days there hail been an ice gorge in the river. At midnight with¬ out warning, with a roaring and a cracking, the Ice hud broken up and gone off with the current. As morning dawned all was activ¬ ity on the levee. People were hurrying to and fro. La*y 1 >es that had been torpid with cold, were iy crawling out from among the cot des.

Vehicles bearing passengers and freight, struggled for place on tho levee. The cracking of whips, the braying of mules, the “heave ho,” “heave ho’’ of the roustabout, the shouts of the mates us they hurried the men in no gentle terms to get on with the freight, made u;> u combination of sounds, a scene nowhere to l»o witnessed save on the ioveeof a southern river city. of the Among the carriages hurrying to one steamers about to depart for the south was one containing a gentleman and by his side a lady, his junior, and evidently an invalid. In attendance upon the lady was an old colored woman, bent with age, but eager and willing to perform tho duties of a nurse. The gentleman carried his delicate com¬ panion over tho gang plank and up into the cabin, u here lie laid her on a sofa. Kneeling beside her and taking her hand iu his, he gazed upon her ns if ho would engrave for¬ ever upon his In-art the sweet smile that responded to his. Yet they were sad smiles; it was u sail parting. Tho young wife, broken in health, was about to depart for their former homo in Louisiana. Tho husband, a Confederate oliicer, was to go to report for duty to Gen. Albert S. Johnston, and was destined soon after to march with liis regi¬ ment to join tbo force which Gen. Pember¬ ton was then collecting at Vicksburg. “Surely, Robert,” the young w ife said, as she held him when ho endeavored to break aw-ay from her with a view to ending the parting, so bitter to both of them; “surely it will all be over soon, and you will join me, and at once—the moment peace is de¬ clared—won't you?” “Let us hope,” be said manfully. “I will.” He turned and hurried away. Mammy Phillis followed her master as he passed through the cabin to the staircase in the bow of the i)oat. “Done you fret. Mars’ Robert, honey,” sbo said; “ole Phillis’ll care for missy like she did for you when you was nothen but a little pickaninny on her bres'.” Robert Gibson tried to speak to her, but he could not. His lips moved but no words came. 11c pressed the old woman’s black hand, nud hurried down the staircase and out on the crowded levee. Once he turned mid looked back at the boat that held his treasn’v The lust sight that met his gaze was tho figure of the mammy straining her eyes to discover him among the crowd.

Sad eyes looked on as tho rough steamboat hands i>c-r formed their strange office. Was there no to offer a prayer for tin-, sweet spirit in all that company? No!

One day the old woman thought she heard booming of distant guns. Was it guns was it thunder? She stepped to tiio cabin to listen. The sounds came nearer. she heard volleys. Then tho sounds to recede, then to advance, yet w ith advance drawing nearer, till at last tbo ’about her resounded with the deafen¬ roar of artillery, the sharp rattle of the shouts of men, the neighing of horses. During tho presence of these mighty old Phillis sat crouched in the of her cabin praying the Lord to take to his “ Kingdom come.” 0 ;\ THE SOLDIER'S DEATH. Then the sounds grew further and further; the noise of the cannon became again a low muttering, and tho volleys of musketry died into an occasional distant shot. Now it happened by a strange fate that battle brought the end of Phillis’ watch. When the old woman found strength and to go out of her cabin, she found it the dead and.the dying. A temporary was established within a few rods, who should be brought dying to the old cabin, but her beloved Mars’ None of the arts with which the aged had soothed him as a child would now to bring him strength.
