It was once an immaculate sheet of white note-paper, lying with its brethren in a plush case on the stationer’s counter, and was purchased with the rest by Mrs Gordon for Helen's birthday gift. 1! fore coming into Helen’s possession it spent a dreary time in a big, busy work-room, where it was stamped and pounded and generally ill treated, but whence it emerged bearing a wonderfully twisted blue monogram of which II and I* ' v ' Te *-* le principal letters. Helen was delighted with her gift, ahd exhibited it with pride to Mr. John Cunningham, who, however, observed that it “wouldn’t be of much use,” and added in ail ex- phnintory whisper that “she would soon med aC instead ofaB.” AY’hereupon Helen blushed, and pretended to be very busy putting away the case in her pretty secretaire. There, in a dim, vio’.et-scent- ed corner, our particular sheet, which ehaneed to be about the middle of the box, lay undisturbed for weeks, till, as its fellows were gradually removed, and sent forth upon various missions, it came in time to be the top sheet. Then one night - or rather morning—its mission began. About 2 o’clock on a Wednesday morn¬ ing Helen returned from a ball, and, in¬ stead of going quietly to bed, as usual, she hurried into her little boudoir, and 'hopping into* a chair before the secre- tairc, buried her head iu her hands, and begun to sob bitterly. “Oh, I wish I hadn’t! 1 wish I hadn’t!” she said over nnd over again. At last, however, she grew calmer; and, opening her desk, drew forth the top sheet from its place 5nd began to write rapidly. “I know I can never rest, John, with- lll| t lirst— even though this can not be rent till morning—explaining to you what happened to-night, and telling you, < h‘ ar John, that 1 mu very, very ssrrv j and ashamed. 1 know quite well that I was wrong in giving three dances to Laptain Morse when you had expressly asked me to have as little to do with him 89 possible; and, believe me, I did not intend dancing with him at all. If it had not been for Louise Hill I never should have done so. You know her teasing wa y. In the dressing-room this evening, before we went down stairs, she asked nic if i intended dancing with Captain Morse, and when I wouldn’t answer, de- ( '* :ir <'d she believed that you had forbid- ( ' un 'b and ended by daring me to dance with him more than once. Afterward, "Iron he asked for two dances, 1 happen- ' to '°uk up, caught Louise’s mocking glance, and was silly enough, on the im¬ pulse of the moment, to let him put his name down twice, thinking that I could ex P'ain to.you how it happened. I had no idea then that you were close by nnd had seen it all, aud when, later in t * 10 f ’ v,, > | ing, 1 tried to tell about it you you ^''CROC-old and distant that my pride lose, and, out of bravado, I'gave him a third dance. But when I saw your pain- St< ni John, 1 was quite misera¬ ble, and I even forgive you for flirting so abominably as you did for the rest of the cveilill f? with Louise. Now I have told you all about it. Please, dear, dearest John, forgive your own Helen. **• ®*—I will wear the frock you like 1° the opera party Thursday evening.” Then, a happy smile on her face, Hel¬ en left her letter lying on the desk and went to bed. ' F 16 DPxt morning, just as she w r as pre- s,lli - tl '» address an envelope, “Miss Louise UiU" 1 , welcome was announced. Helen’s might certainly have been wore cordial, but her visiter, wtyKitUaiawi, cluiUttd «d uud on, and aired ker vUtvi ou every conceivable subject, remarking at last, as she rose to take her leave: “So, Helen dear, it’s all off between you nnd Mi-. Cunningham)” “From whom did you derive your in¬ formation?” asked Helen, coldly. “Well, from himself,” replied Miss Hill, with a would-be conscious laugh. “At least, he asked me to go with him to the opera party to-morrow uiglit, and as I knew that tov had expected to ac¬ company him, I supposed, of course”— “You are at liberty to suppose any¬ thing you like, Louise,” said Helen, “but if you please,” still more stiffly, “I should prefer not to discuss the subject.” And Mist Hill, with a satisfied air, de¬ ported. A moment later Helen had snatched the letter from her desk, crush¬ ed it passionately into a tight, hard ball, and flung it into the -waste-basket. “He shall nover see it— nccerl" elm declured, with an indignant sob, us slss left tb« room. In a little while Mary, the housemaid, came in, broom in hand, opened wide the windows and placed the waste-busket on the window ledge while she went to seek her dustpan. As she opened the door a mischievous—or w-as it a beneficent?—puff of wind whirled our particular bit of pa¬ per, in company with a torn dress-ntaker’s bill and the programme of a morning concert, out of the open window 1 All three were blown together to the street corner, and there parted company. What happened to the other two wus never heard, but Helen’s letter became some¬ how wedged in between a lamp-post and a small block of coni which had been dropped near it, and remained there till toward evening, when it was noticed and picked up l>y an old scrap collector, who s.ull.d il our poor, into lier Kick imong a lot of .e,y rags and papers of all kinds and emptied all together ‘ll,,. that evening ou the floor of ,, the ccllsi which ... bhc , oceupie H 1 with ... ,,er her sister. Now the scrap collector’s sister, known ns “Saircy” Malony, was a “sweeper” nt the large theater where Patti was then nightly trilling. Her duties led her thither every morning at 0 o’clock, nnd kept her there usually for five or six hours. She was in the habit of carrying with her a crust of bread or some similar delicacy to serve a* luuck- eon. On the Thursday morning, being seized with unaccountable daintiness, it occurred to her to wrap up her crust, which usually went unprotected into a corner of her huge pocket. She sought among her sister's heap for a suitable wrapper aud selected Helen's crushed letter, which, although it had lost much of its original freshness, was still several degrees cleaner than the rest. She smooth¬ ed it out—not being able to read, it» contents had no interest for her—wrap¬ ped it round her crust, and slipped the parcel into her pocket. There it reposed till noon, when Mrs. Malony, having nearly finished her work, seated herself in company with Me'sdames Flannigau and O'Riley, parquet and balcony sweep¬ ers, in one of the lower boxes, and pro¬ ceeded to discuss her luncheon. The theater, with its dim half-light and long rows of carefully “sheeted” seats, was a ghostly looking place; the shrill voice of an “under-study”—whose services, ow¬ ing to the illness of a prima donna, were likely to be in request, and w-ho wits hav¬ ing a solitary rehearsal on the stage, toss- mg about her lean arms as Elvira—was the only sound which pierced the silence; the three old crows in the box mumbled their crusts nnd conversed in whispers. Suddenly a door banged, and the firm trend of the Huge manager was heard ap¬ proaching. In fear and trembling Mrs. Malony and her companions made a hasty exit fiorn their comfortable quarters—on exit so hasty thi.t the first-mentioned lady’s luncheon wrapper—in other words, Helen’s much abused letter—dropped ou the floor and was kicked unnoticed un¬ der one of the chairs—the identical chair, in fact, which was occupied that evening by Miss Louise Hill. Thus it came to pass that during the second act of “Lucia” a certain well known blue rr.on- ogrtm on a torn nnd dirty piece of paper which lny half concealed by Miss Hill’s sweeping train attracted the attention of that young lady’s escort. By and by he managed, unobserved, to secure it, and, making some excuse, retired to the foyer. Ten minutes later the indignant Miss Hill received by a messenger Mr. Cunningham’s “deepest regrets nnd apologies for being obliged to leave the theater on sudden, urgent business,” and had to content herself for the rest of the evening with th* vacuous youth whom her escort had deputed to till his place. * * * * * Among the most cherished treasures of Mr. and Mrs. John Cunningham is a ccr- tain torn and disreputable scrap of pa> j,« r __ A. 0.

He said that in his command was a very devout and energetic chaplain, exceedingly earnest in regard to the spiritual welfare of the soldiers, especially before going into battle. “The preacher,” said Gen. Stevenson, “came down to where Billy Wilson’s Zouaves were iitcamped and had u talk with Bill^ He said that his efforts had been wonderfully blessed; that he had baptized fifty men from one regiment, a hundred from another, and so on, enum¬ erating tho fruits of his religious labor, and he suggested to Billy that ns they were on the eve of a -battle it would be well for him (the chaplain) to talk with Billy’s men. “Billy was very proud of his command, and he turned to the chaplain and said: ‘That ain’t necessary; I’ll save you that trouble.
