" IN THE MORNING."

A TRUE INCIDENT OF THE WAR,

'Do you see that young lady in whito talkins* with Clarke?'

The speaker was a tall, distinguished looking man of thirty-five in the uniform of a cavalry colonel in the Confederate service. The time was a summor night in 1863 ; the place, the hotel parlour in a small village in Middle Tennessee. The occasion was a ' hop' given in honour of the presence of a detachment of ' Forrest's Cavalry,' the daring riders whoso names are household words in Southern homes, from the mountains of Tennessee .to the valleys of tho Mississippi. The yourig lady referred to was a pretty, graceful firl, with dark gray eyes, waving hair of \ a ark, reddish gold, and the exquisite complexion tbat accompanies it. : , ■ 'Who is she?' asked the Colonel's com-

panion. ' That is Picton's sweetheart, Miss Gar. nett.'

' Not tho same that saved his life after Shiloh?' said Capt. Barclay. 'The same,' rejoined Col. Terry. ' She is a little creature to do such a thing, but she did. You see she was in the neighbour hood at the timo of the battle, and some body told her that Picton was killed. She wont over the field and found him badly wounded through the lungs, but still alive. She sent a boy that she had brought with her to hunt up a surgeon, and she stayed,by Picton. The boy round Dr. Cowan, and when they got. back Miss Garnett had raised Picton tip, with his head on hor breast, so that he could breathe more easily. Dr. Cowan examined the wound without moving him, and told her that he was afraid it was hopeless, for the least motion (even leaving him down again) might produce a fatal haemorrhage. If he could be kept perfectly quiet until inorning, and the bleeding checked during the night, he might havo a ' bare chance of Eulling through.' 'Well,' said the brave ttle woman, 'he shall be kept qiuet, for I will stay just here and not let him move.' And, by George, she did; she never stirred all night, and in the morning they carried him to the nearest houso, and she nursed him till he was out of danger.' ' That's a sweetheart worth having,' said Capt. Barclay, with a glance of admiration at the subject of their conversation. Half an hour later, Col. Terry was at Miss Gamett's side receiving a warm greet ing that told that the two were fast friends. ' Tell me of all my friends in the old bat talion,' she said presently. 'How many?' he asked, quizzically; * more than one ?' ~,-,, -

'I mean what I said,' she answered, with a merry laugh and a quick, bright blush. * I have heard from " one "of them very recently.' ' Does Charley know you are here ?' asked the Colonel.

-—'"No; it is not a week since I left Mem phis. Will they join you here f * They ?' he replied inquiringly. ' The rest of the command, I mean,' she replied, blushing again. ■'. i 'A portion or it may, hut for that part you are particularly interested in I cannot say. You know they are with; the old General, and their movements can't be counted On with any great certainty.' • 'They are the comets of the service,' said Miss Garnett. 'Quite as erratic, at all events.' ' May I have the pleasure of this dance I said the Colonel as the band struck up' a quadrille. ' I know it is useless to ask you for a waltz.' ' ._.,,.

The dahce over, he led her to a chair, and- after a moment's gay badinage; was about to resign his place in favour of the Other claimants for her smiles, when he saw a sudden ghastly pallor overspread her features. . .■>-__. .

! -'Miss Alice, you are-ill !'-he exclaimed anxiously. ' 'Let me get you some,'some water.' -

If Was scarcely a minute before his return, • but even then he was shocked at her white, drawn! face. 'Gall my sister!' she said to another gentleman with her, while Col. Terry had •goneforthe—water, and-both had reached Ser at the same time. 'Lucy, take me home,'she whispered, 'I am dying.' f ,-. i ..., 'Oh," no, darling,' said her sister, ten derly, ' you will be well in the morning.' As quick as possible the carriage was called, and the sick girl placed in it. When they were just starting, Col: Teny wished them good night, expressing; his hope, that Miss Alice would have recovered by morning. She put out her hand, and exerting her strength, said distinctly: 'Yes, T shall be well in the morning. Tell Charley—' her voice failed, and, lifting her slim white hand, she loosened the flowers she wore at her breast and put them into the colonel's hand. 'Give these to him—yes— in the morning.' Her voice died away to a faint whisper, and her head fell back on her sister's shoulder. The lady who had acted as their chaperon hastened to apply _ re storatives, and the carriage rolled swiftly away.'.!- -' si '■■ :- -1 The next morning when Col. Terry called to inquire after the invalid, he had no need to'ask,'-.for from the door there floated the mournful insignia of death. Shocked beyond expression, that hardy soldier turned away, unable then to even ofler his services if they were needed.1. He went away after a while and saw; Mrs Cameron, the hostess of the sisters during their visit. From hor he learned the brief details of Alice's death. Her attack had been a sudden spasm of the heart, and she had never rallied. She had not spoken but once and they caught her-lover's name, and a repetition of the words 'in the morning.' 'Poor Charley, who will tell him?' groanedthe Colonel when the lady's voice ceased.: ' : r

' You are his best friend,' she answered. ' I think no one else could do it so gently.' ' I can't,' he replied, shaking his head. ' I would rather face a battery. Why, you don't Mow, you can't think how his very life seems bound up in her; and now^- —' They buried her next morning ;'£ ix cf Picton's friends carried his dead love to her graye. and then came sadly back, each questioning who would bear the tidings to thegaflant sabreui-far away with the old brig .de.:. .l! -._-. . That night the order came to join the main command, and by daylight the, troops were miles away. As they reached the vicinity of thp.appointed rendezvous, a de-. suliory firing warned' theiU of an approach ing conflict. Presently they formed them

selves in the midst of a portion of tho command, drawn up in a piece of woods overlooking a sloping field, which on the opposite side rose to a sharp emi nence, on the brow of which was posted a Federal battery.

Farther to the right the firing had become sharper, and soon the roll of musketry swept all along the line. 'I say, Barclay,' called Col. Terry, as that officer passed him, ' havo you seen Picton yet?' And as Barclay shook his head, added, 'Tell the_ hoys not to let him know yet.,, Wait till this is over.' < ,!All tight* I'll,tell them,' answered Barclay, as ho rode away. ' The old general will bo wanting that battery, the first thing they know, said one of.the1 men, as ,a shell exploded-Over .their heads. "They had bettor keep it quiet' ,'-,- .. ~.-..■_■ I 'Thar, what did I-tell you?' ho added, biting off. a huge piece of 'longgreen;' ' that go tho Mississippi boys now.' As he spoke a tawny column moved out of the. woods and swept gallantly across the field..—But-aa they readied the centre a murdero tfs round of grape and canister tore through thoir ranks and the column broke in confusion. Three times their leader rallied thenu.to.the. charge, and three times they were shattered by the sailing fire. ' Tell you what, boys,' called out the private who had-before spoken, 'thar's fun comiri' now 1 That's Gang's bugle. Tho old regiment want some of tho pio 1" He stooped and felt his saddle girth as he spoke, then straightened himself and waited for the command, for he was ' one of the boys.' Tho noxt moment there was a ringing cheer from tho ranks as General Forrest rode up. 'Boys,' he exclaimed, pointing with his sword, 'I want that battery captured. One regiment hrs tried, and couldn't take it. Now I want you boys to do better than that. , I am going to lead you, and I want you all to follow me.' Another oheer was the answer, aB the men fell into the ranks.

' Charge 1' and down the slope rode the gallant 'old regiment,' never faltering as the grape shot sweeps through the serried ranks, closing.eack gap as it was made by the deadly fire; on, on, following tho load of the tall figure at the head of the column, till they rode right over the death-dealing guns, 'sabring die gunners there,' and the woods gave back the ringing echoes of the famous 'rebel yell,' as the victory was won.

Won 1 Yes, but at a fearful cost. That fatal slope was drenched with the blood of the Soutldand's bravest sons.

After that charge Col. Terry found him self face to face with Charley Picton. ' My God.how can I tell him,?' muttered the|colonel to himself as the gallant young fellow rodo toward him, holding out his hand. 'It takes the old regiment to do up things in style?' he said, grasping the colonel's hand. 'Say, Terry, did you see Miss Alice.? Coleman has just got back from Memphis, and he told me she had gone on a visit to some friends in C._' — But as he spoke he suddenly put his hand to his side. 'I am shot,' he gasped, faintly. It was true. A stray bullet had struck him in the side, and Col. Terry caught him as he reeled in his saddle, and rodo with him to the field hospital. ■ When the surgeon examined the wound he shook his head doubtfully. ' I know a nurse worth twenty doctors,' whispered Picton Ayith a smile. ' Terry, can't you fetch herto me ?'. Throughout the night the colonel stayed with him. Once he wakened and repeated the questiorrhffhad asked 'jiist^before he was shot. r'Y !,'.'. ■.'. -A ' ._.'." ' I saw her, yes,', .the colonel answered huskily. 'She sent you some flowers.'' Thc'blue eyes lighted up with a tender glow, and Picton'held out nis hand. ' y Silently Col. Terry took from his breast pocket the withered flowers, a spray of ivy and a half opened white rose, andlaid them in the outstretched hand. The wounded man slept. But in a couple of hours ho awoke, touch worse, and the surgeon in his rounds told the bronzed watcher that the end Tvas very near. • ' Terry 1' and the colonel bent his head to catch the faint accents. 'I'm dying, 1 wouldn't mind—only- poor Alice ? Tell her gently, please—she loves me, you know— aud I, oh, Terry !it is hard to leave her. My poor darling.' ' Por a moment the colonel could not an swer. Then; choking back a sob, he said, slowly and distinctly: •_ ' Charley, Alice is waiting for you._ You are not leaving her, but going to her. 5 A bewildered, troubled look came into the wistful blue eyes. • ' Dent you understand me, Charley ? She is dead. We buried her there in C . I couldn't tell you before, dear old boy. But now you wilLbe with her before you have time to grieve after her. She died with your name on her lips, murmuring of meeting you in themorning.' ■ . - He understood now, and a sigh of relief flitted across his pale lips. ' Dear girl, he murmured, ■' I am so glad she will not havo this grief to bear.' Then he slept again and the hours passed on until the eastern sky brightened with the solemn dawn light '--'■- ' Terry 1' The word was but the faintest whisper* but the watcher instantly bent his head to listen. ; . ' It is morning,' came the faint, gasping accents, and again the white lids drooped over the blue eyes. Five—ten nunut es passed. Then Colonel Terry lifted the dead hands and crossed them over the pulseless broast, reverently covered the still, white face and turned away. •-.'

Curious Early Bibles.

Bkfoke types were invented, printing pic tures from engraved wooden blocks was accomplished in the. fourteenth century. Books were made of engravings of the most remarkable incidents in the books of Moses, the Gospelsand Apocalypse; they were called Biblia' Pauperum, or Poor Men's Bibles. Fair copies of these have brought £250. and the 'very worst, rarely less than £50; The rare-edition of the Biblia Germanica, published in 1487, contains many coloured woodcuts remarkable for the singularity of their designs ; for instance, Bathsheba is represented washing her feet in a tub, and Elijah as as'cehdiug to heaven in a four wheeled waggon; The Bishop's Bible-so

called frorii the fact thai most of the trans lators were bishops—was published in 1568. It contained a portrait of the Earl of Leicester, the great and powerful favou rite of Elizabeth, placed before the Book of Joshua; whilst another portrait, that of Sir William Cecil—also a favourite of the Queen—adorned tho Psalms. In the edition of 1584, a map of the Holy Land, and the arms of Archbishop Parker, tho chief trans lator, wero substituted.— Cfiambers's Jo «?•• na l.

A TRIP FROM WAITARA TO WANGANUI.

An Auckland gentleman who has just re turned from notour of the disturbed districts on the West Coast, sends us an account ot his journey, with a special view to the en cpuragement of Auckland trade5 with the rising districts in that part of the .colony. The first part of the letter, describing movements against Parihaka and its neigh bourhood, has been anticipated by tho full telegrams already published. The writer then proceeds : "The Plains trom Manaia to Oeo is a splendid open level country, rich loam, covered with flax, and intending settlers might utilize the great stretches of flax by movable machinery that would turn the flax to profitable account, and at the same time doar the land. Some places I observed had only been fenced, already having a large stock of cattle browsing on them, I had a long talk with Hone Pihama, of Oeo, who has 18,000 acres of first-class land, and is in partner ship with Captain Good, in tho stock of sheep and cattle, &c. Tho Captain has his residence, und Hone alongside, and Mr Owen, brother of Mr Owen, of Hawera, hotelkee**or, has a hotel hero. Opunake is a township of several shops, including our enterprising townsman, Laybourri, an .Mr Pettigrew, a hotel, and a very large one, being built to the order of Mr Rosser, of Hawera; mechanics' shops of various trades, aud lying opposite a wheelwright's shop arc three anchors of the ill-fated Lerd Worsley, wrecked years ago, and Wiremu Kingi has a brass cannon belonging to the same ves sel. William King has been a powerful chief, and must have been a fine-looking fellow when young. He stands 6 feet 3or 4 inches, aud may be remembered as having once saved the people of an entire district from destruction. Manaia is a rising town ship, consisting of good stores (Langley Bros, and Niccol), and excellent hotels, Hawera is a good-sized town, that may at some distant date be of importance. It has a great many stores, hotels, banks, and public buildings, and boasts ono or two newspapers. The land in High-street is worth £17 per foot, and a section fronting High-street 66ft. and another street 330 ft. brought £1,040 the other day, and it is at present tho terminus of tbe railway from Waitara, New Plymouth, a distance of 48 miles. Hawera has a splendid grazing coun try, level aud rich soil, as far as the eye can reach. But of all the townships Patea is the most rising and flourishing, having a port and a noble grazing country of level land, almost extending to Waverley. It is getting a large place, has many stores and merchants and importers' warehouses, notably, J. Gibson, P. Mahoney, <S*c, aud large spacious hotels. The Albion and ono or two others have 40 bed-rooms or so, and there ia finished a new Choral Hall, just opened. There was a harmonic concert, but being pushed for time in 'bu'siaesV 1 merely heard the rehearsal. There are six or seven new buildings under way, a large substantial one for 8.N.Z., I believe. Waverley is a village. The railwa'yfcom mences here, leaving a distance by coach from Hawera about 30 miles, and runs to Wanganui, a distance of 33 mile?.. Wan ganui is a town of importance, having a good harbour; excellent bridge across the ' river, perhaps one of the best in the North Island! It has many important buildings, publio, &c., and banks of a permanent character. And there ia one Btreet, Victoria Avenue, a noble one indeed, has no less than four extensive places of worship all on the one side of it, and away to the upper end are many nice residences, the whole from the top to the bridge presenting a grand appear ance. Everything here seems to be kept in apple-pie order. The Fire Brigade have a board with the different wards printed thereon, and a bell cord attached to use in case of fire, and has a splendid water supply, a noble gift (their first supply having failed) of their citizen, Mr Watt; of the waters ot 'Windmere Lakes' situated on his estate, and commemorative of it_ the Borough Council have erected in a very prominent .place, junction of Victoria Avenue and liidgway-street, a beautiful and substantial fountain, having four sides, that give through lions' heads pure water constantly into basins with cupß attatched for the benefit of the citizens, and finally runs over into basins at the bottom and through a pipe and away. It is surmounted by 4 branches, pointing to the various streets, with class globes, and one towering its head above its fellows, that isußedordioary. The whole were lit on the night I reached Wanganui, being Prince of vVales's birthday, and there was a large party of citizens returning irom the races at Waverley. Ihe land about Wanganui is indifferent, hilly, and great banks of black sand at the town itself. One haa been planted with ice plant, to prevent the dust from rising. These things are its greatest drawback, and its railway north Bide is nothing but a succession of bends and curves, the most crooked line I have travelled. X hear that rail to Mastetton is worse, there being grade engines, that travel up hill, or steep inclines, where there must be great wear and tear. What I want now, Mr Editor, chiefly to bring before the good people of Auckland's notice, is the fact that over all this beautiful country, the Wellington and Christchurch trades-people of this country, 1 am not prepared to say, but I nevertheless deplore the fact, With very little trouble the channel of the river and port of Patea could be made available for good-siz;d traders, and Opunake could be made a nice little harbour. IS ew Ply mouth, though a nice town, is almost like Nelson, having many fine large busi ness places, hotels, Sec, merchants, impoiters, &c, J. Gilmour, Veale aria Son, &c., but, unfortunately, there never can be made an artificial harbour, i 'Tis all moon shine the attempt, sinking uu'o.d money

that is simply thrown away, that might be expended to some profitable account in these days of retrenchment, and no doubt would be more remunerative. I don't wish to hit hard, bein_. only a visitor, but merely give my opinion. On the road back from Hawera is Normanby, a settlement of Bhops and hotels; and Stratford and Inglewood, situated iv the forest, but is a fine business place, consisting of several hotels and busiuess places, W. Carter, W. H. Franklyn, &c, &c. : : and to come back to where I started, Waitara—it will no doubt be the port, and while I say so I would suggest to the harbour authorities there the necoasity of sinking and cle_io: ing the channel. Steamers, such as ihe Hannah Mokau and Hauraki, if fitted out for passenger accommodation (but both are at present almost destitute of such, arid space for cargo), would suit tho river, ftaglan, Opunake, and Patea. Wtiitara is rather a scattered looking place, consisting of a number Of stores arid throe hotels ; one very large oue, built1 by our enterprising towusmau, Mr James Holmes, formerly ot the North Shore, deserves mention, and from his kiudly manucr, and tho genial countenance nnd soft smile of Mra Holmes, her good table, commodious apartments, and pleasantly situated hotel, recommend themselves to tho Auckland travelling public. —1 am, Sec,', J.

The New Society Reporter.

HOW SOME OF THE FIRST FAMILIES USED

Hlivl AT A HIGH-TO .ED PARTY. "Well, how did you got along at tho party last night ?" asked the city editor of a new reporter, whom he had engaged the day before, and whom he had sent to write up a social occasion. "Not very woll," responded tho new re portc, gloomily. "I clon't think Brooklyn society is the top notch racket anyhow," "What'» the matter?" demanded the city editor. " Didn't thoy use you well ?" " I can't say they did," rejoined the new reporter. "Now, I went up there last night and waded right into tho fun. I asked for tho chairman of tho party, and told him we wero laying out to swell their heads in to day's issue, aud he'd better skip in and in troduce me to somo of tho big bugs if ho calculated to have his name mentioned in the report." "What did he say to that?" asked the city editor, with a calm gleam in his eye, "Ho wanted to know who sent. I told him tho main guy of this literary bank had fired me in there, and that when I'd got through shaking a leg I'd like somo facts about the lay out. If ho couldn't givo 'cm, J I told him he'd better got the secretary to heel up pretty lively, or I'd give tho whole outfit a deal in the paper that would mako him think every hair on his head a band of music and all playing different tunes." "And what did he say to that ?" inquired the city editor, the gleam deepening omi nously. " Oh, he said he would do what ho could for me. I told him hod better hop right at it, and first I wanted to meet the gals. If he Calculated to hold the friendship of the Eaglo I said, ho did'nt want to waste much funny business beforo he had mebumping around in the mazy. He said if I'd go upstairs and take off my hat and overcoat, he'd see mo later."

" Did you do it ?" askod the city editor in a constrained tone.

" No. I said I wanted some grab first. So he took me down in the front kitchen and asked me if I liked boned turkey. I told him I'd take a leg and some of tho breast. What do you think he gave me ? Headcheese! If he didn't, you can lick 'me. I couldn't eat that, and so I asked him for a glass of beer and a cheese sand wich. He said he had somo wine, so I drank a bottle and put a couple in my pockets." , ..• "Whatdid you do then?" interrogated tlie city editor, fingering a length of gas 'pipe;: '■'' »* ■_■ _'• '<yf-\ " ':, "I went up to the parlor, and he said I'd better take a description of the scene before I danced, and he gave mo tho names. Here they are. MaryMunroc, red frock, white sack, and hair bunched; Emma Latrobe, yellow dress and high-heeled slippers; Marion WiUoughby, some kind of thin stuff, white,' and tied up with blue tape, and hair frizzled; Jennie Murchinson, black clothes and a fcathci in her hair; Ella Wexford, red hair and grey suit, flat in front and stuck out behind; Pauline Tres ley —I tell you, boss, she was a daisy. Bigger'n a tub anil dressed to the top branch. She had on a velvet outfit a mile long, and sixteen rows of teeth on hor gloves. Her hair was a dead yellow, tied up like a bun, and had a lot of vegetables in it; Florence Boss, green dress, flipped with velvet, and hoisted up at the side with a. white check rein; Vin nie Hamme rsly, white network with red streaks, walked with a limp and hair frescoed. That's all I got, There was a lot of old pelicans there, but I know you didn't care for them, and as for tho men, I told 'em it would cost'em a dollar a. piece to get in, and as they wouldn't put up I shoved 'em. I can state that they wore a cheap lot, who don't know any moro about society than a fig does .about politics, and that'll teach them a lesson. And I say, we'd better give the chairman a rub. He didn't introduce me to a, soli tary hen. Better say that he hasn't paid his gas bill for seven months, and. that day before yesterday his accounts wore found short. What do you think ?'' "Gotany more about the party?" de manded the city editor, rising slowly. "Nothing, only that the grub wasn't fit to cat, though furnished by that popular caterer, Mr Traphagerie r, I told him I'd give him a puff. You might say too that the whole party was a dead failure on account of tho villainous treatment to which our new society reporter was sitb iected when he asked for a handful of cigars. Say, what havo you got for me to do to-night. ?" ■" Not a thing!" yelled the city editor, as he brought the gas pipe across the now reporter's car. " You infernal reptile, don t you know that was one of the best houses in town, aud the-affair the finest of the season?" „„",,*'„' -, " I'm going back to St. Paul s, groaned the new reporter as he fell down stairs "If that's - Brooklyn society, I'm going whore they have some style,"and ho struck off towards the Nofth .Vest, 'largely a-foot. —" Brooklyn Eagle."
