It ras the tweltth annual dinner of the club, and the Colonel, the Major, the Captain and myself wprs seated aronnil n table loadad with wine and fruit. Ve were tiie remainder of the club, which ori&inallv nontained all the officers of our regiment who had surviv ed the war. At first there were fifteen of us, but the hardships and wounds of these four bitter years had taken the others away. Every year there whs ono plate lesc, and we began to look on our final dissolution. But we four who had met the. previous year gladly drain ed a glass to the discomfort Of the brok en apeti. It had not been our fate to hare fame of victory without toil, for ours had been a fighting regiment. Dangers shared together had strengthened the bond of lriendhi and theso yearly meetinga were rich in stories of old times, stories of daring, or of the kind ness of some who had gone to ternx! reotr None of us wtre aid men. Hie Colouel was just 40, the Major 35 and the Captain was 33 and I six years his junior. We were all married except the Mijor, and it was a wonder to us hat he was not married, for the Major was iust the manwho could bare made good and true woman' life bright and joyous. - Handsome, braTe, generous, a delight ful talker, an anlhor of no common merit, and possessed of a fortune ample enough to make tha world's comforts nd luxuries accessible, the Maior Wat mush sought in society and was ever ready to respond to the call.

Then one of those on aocoonUble silences that come te ench Msemblages fell upon asjand wo pueQd Suddmly the Mjor stopped sraokN ing, and looked at each of u in tarn, aid, 'You have often wondered why I am nut married, aud now I. will tell yo It is a long story, but it mj be of interest to you, and aa w are all that are left 1 have thought that tha secret fchould be shared between us. 'When the war came 1 had but just graduated from the college and as you know enlisted as a private. It was no easy matter for me to do :his, but I fell it to he my duty. I was young, strong, and aide to fight. I had means to make the life pf a soldier as comfortable as it could be made, and, while my mind longed for literary aud peaceful scenes, I still felt that I owed my county a duty. It was a short time after I enlist ed before we were ordered to the South. The rrgiment, as you know had hard work aud plenty of it, but my part was is well rewarded as I could wish, for I was soon aJvancad to the command of my company. xou remember the time when we went South of the llippahannock, and were quartered in this queer little Til lage, where even though we wjre foes we were treated so kindly I You must alaj remember the large house back of the village, the on- that crowned the hill oa whose sides were so many or chards? Well, I had .been but a day in the village whan 1 foui.d out that it was the native place of Harry Wayn, my college chnm, and also, that home cn the hill was hu borne. 'For a few days I retrained from call ing, thinking that my uniform misht be distastelal to Harry's mother and sisters, lor he bad gone with bis State and was an officer In Lee's array. At last my de sire to know something of my old friend grew too strong to be kept down by such scruples, aud one afternoon I walk ed to the bouse, and, paining up the broad carriage way runuiog from the road to the door, went slowly np the steps leading to the pleasant and shady veranda, and jnst as I was about sound ing (he massive old fashioned kqocker the door was thrown open and a young and bcaatiful woman stood "before rot. The laugh that bad been a moment ben fore rippling from her Hps ceased and she started back with a slight gesture o! alinn, but rty doffed cap and peaceful attitude reassured her and she stood waiting. 'Is Mrs. Wayne In?' I asked. 'My mother is at home; who shall I say desires to see her ? ' 'Charles Talbot, a classmate of ber ton, and at present with the regiment quartered in the Tillage.' What! are you the Charity Talbot who was Harry's chum at college?' I am.' Then come, for we all seem to know joa, and though on opposite sides, are friends,' and she btld out her band. 1 took it, and its warm clasp thrilled me strangely, at did the clear glance ot the bright eye that were upturned to mine. 'You can easily surmise that both liraj and iiictiiiatfou in t to tho imerr.il be ween my visits yery short, and I toon noticed thit the door was always, open ed by Mabel aften era 1 had reached the veranda. Who could mUtake the motive of such a mark of favor 1 And you can know that to my soul this brought a glory that wat brighter than tanthiue and whose music was tweeter than the spring chorus of birds. I have not told you of Mable Wayne's beauty. II was was of lhat clear, Saxou type, whichj denotes a bright and tunny disposition. And she was as merry as one could wish, possessing a finely ; cultivated mind, a spark15nir wli. and a sweet, 'ringing voice, that made it a delight toUjdUsleir to ber talk. At you know, we were quartered t wo months in that village ; but before oor regiment marched Sooth I bad asked Mabel to be my wife and had heard her ow roicn tell ot a lore that I knew would blest me all through (he years. Her mother gave a willing consent, and the lime fixed tor uniou was the close ot the war. 'Then came Onr marching orders, and the raid ia which I won my Major's I have beard her voice; I have telt the pressure ot her lips and soon we will be together, and the love that separated for a time will be joined in heaven for all eternity.' I can see her now, beautiful and kind as in the old years. Yes, I can see ber, and she is mine.' The .Major ceased ta king. A glad light grew brilliant in his eyes and aut losed bis l-.ee. Then be covcre I this with hit .hands. We diiljuot say any thing for a lime, but at last the silence grew oppressive. 'Let ns take some wino.' said the Col onel. And all but the Major filled their glasses. , ' Will you not join ns, Major?' asked the Colonel. - He did not answer, snd the Colonel rose and going to his side, touched biin -- There was no response. - The Colonel took douw bis hands, and a chill fell upon m.

Do you remember tLe day we were expecting to meet Fit Hugh's men?, I was on picket duty that eveuing,and had a battallion of oar reg'meut deployed along a road that rau through some broken country. Just'after nigbt began to deepen, and tbe tbadowa lay nearly between tbe treea that flanked the road he rapid gallop of horse aoauded np from a narrow valley, and, telling tbe men near to be ready, I nx?e down the sloping gronud to meet the person ap preaching. Soon I came to a place that gave me command of -a long stretch of road and halted ji't in the shadow. In another momeut a horseman dashed into view , and came rapidly towards me. As soon as my voice could be heaid I com manded a halt, bat the orJor was nun heeded. - Halt or I fire (' I cried, and still (he horse came dashing on, and tbe next mo meat my pistol wat levoled, and the sharp report rang ont on tbe atill night. With a low cry the horseman tumbled from the sadle, and4ben tbe flutter of a white robe made oTrtng to the ground and ran to wbeTeBtjprottralt form wa lying. The person I bad mistaken for a foe wat a woman, and at I beut oyer tbe white face ,1 telt my heart grow cold, for it wat the fco of Mabel Wayne.

'I beard you were with the troops, his columns many great and wonderful things.' 'It he a country editor, father?'

My son, it isbecanse some kind ad vertising'agent hasxffered him $2.60, lets 25 per sent, commission for a col utun advertisement, next to reading matter for one year, and two forty line notices, on separate pages each week.'
